Rich, Thanks so much for all the info. I had stage 2 HFS when I took Xeloda last year and it was painful to walk. I started taking a high dosage vitamin B complex (100 mg of each) and extra B6 and my hands and feet healed in a few weeks without stopping TX. I did not know about the henna, which is a bonus. According to my accupuncturist, there is no downside to B6. It is a valuable vitamin to be used for neuropathy, also (also great for nausea). Love, Vickie
