Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 Morning Lorenzo, >Or maybe just the Tinactin in the DMSO and cover the site with the Desetin >for protection. >I have sent this to others, with No Response. I have made a few interesting observations about toe fungus. First, the rate of growth of the toenails seems to vary with the time of year. At times, I grow a new toenail and the fungus disappears. The growth rate can be very fast when conditions are right. I should have been keeping notes as to date and the foods I was eating. I think the fastest rate of growth is during the spring and summer when I am getting more sunlight and eating a few pounds of fresh produce per day. Nothing I have done relative to tropical application seems to help. Activity, foods, and sunlight seems to be the enemy of fungus, and likely many other critters that are not visible. I long for this cloudy weather to disappear and the sun to shine, with temps in the 60's 70's and 80's so I can work outside and sweat in the sunshine.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Dear Lorenzo, I have not researched it, and have no personal experience with this problem, but I think maybe in an instance like this, with a toe fungus, that some toxic substance (toxic to the fungus) used carefully, possibly in a solution (water?), and/or soak the feet, with a chemo added, repeatedly might be a possibility. My thinking is, if using a chemo, better it is outside the body with a small amount of absorption, than to take any chemo (pharmacuetical medicines) within the body. If the fungus is living in the skin, the absorption of a toxin into the skin, will act to kill it in the skin. I use the term chemo, because that is now the way that I think of a great majority of pharmacuetical medicines and other toxins. We take a chemo (chemical toxin or poison) when we take a pharmacuetical for cancer, heart disease, hypertension, mental illness, hypertension, etc. " What do you take for your depression? " " Oh, I am treating it with chemo. " Kinda puts it into a different perspective, huh? Well, I have drifted far enough afield here. Back to the toe fungus. I personally would try an external toxic substance here. There could be a large number of possibilities. good luck, Frank Gettingwell , " Lorenzo " <lorenzo1@w...> wrote: > > > Dear Dr. Xxxxxxxxxx, > > I found your site today and have been reading it with interest. > > The information on DMSO was very illuminating.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Hi there! I have a friend who lived in Australia for a time, and had problems with " athletes foot " while there. Locals told him to use Tea Tree Oil, and it worked well and quickly. When home, he went to a drug store, asking for the oil, and the pharmacist insisted he needed medication, which would have to be applied for a year. He laughed, and eventually found the oil, and got much speedier recovery from the fungus. Apparently, it's good for killing bugs on houseplants too. Seems to be working on the plants.
