On the use of Hand Analysis (it's like palmistry without the fortune telling)

srotu

I'm interested to know more Sarah. By the way, what does the 'bd' stand for?

Peace Srotu,

the 'bd' stands for Bangladesh. here are a few links.

and oh, I do think the fortune telling aspect of it is bogus.

i will try to add a few more links and write more of my experiences. It's quite interesting to me.

I'll try to write more as soon as I can.

Cheers

Sarah

Thanks for the link! Now I understand what you mean and I remember I've actually gone for this kind of palmistry reading before. 6-7 years ago when I was about 14 years old. The lady who did the reading recommended some vitamins and foods to eat because she said it's likely I would have so and so disease or weakness in certain areas. She didn't do the personality reading thing just strictly about health.

That's interesting
Health is one of the things I look at too.
Did you know that people with an inherited predisposition to heart disease have smaller, shorter nails than average?
I found it to be true in every case (although my sample size was quite small, about 15 or so people...)

Ooh really? That is quite interesting. What about people with deep nail beds? ;D They make my nails look very long even though I keep them cut short.

How about people that bite their nails??

I actually have read a little bit about hand analysis ... but I think what I read dealt more with the fortune telling part. Sounds pretty interesting. )

Anyone?

I would be interested to hear about it. I had my hand "read" many years ago, but I think the woman was a fake.

People who bite their nails make them unnaturally short. But I was referring to small nails, i.e. nails that are narrower and shorter than the usual, in the absence of nail biting or any other kind of modification.

The fortune telling part gets things right about the same rate as chance, I think. It would be pretty useless.

yes, she was made of crepe paper and painted with acrylic,...
with a few wooden dowels to give her some structure.

deep nail beds?
do you mean a sunken lunula, or a large one?

could you post a picture, or send one to me?
