Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Hi: Garlic will indeed work, but like the remedies the MDs have, it may not be permanent. The fungus is the same fungus that causes "athlete's foot" and is alive and well in the blood stream, so topical "solutions" don't work. When it's under a nail, virtually nothing can get to the fungus there. Many years ago I was given prescription medication for this condition and it relieved the athlete's foot for a while, but not the toenail fungus. (Before giving a prescrtiption now, they are supposed to test to see if the medication will damage the liver. It is very destructive.) Eventually I went to a PA (physician's assistant) who promised to "cure" my toenail fungus by removing the toenails - permanently. He said that in 20 years of doing this he only had one nail that ever grew back. Well, now he has 3. The removal was a very painful process, and both nails (great toes) eventually grew back, with the same problem. Then, a couple of years later for a different condition I began eating 3 to 4 cloves of garlic a day and did that for several months. After perhaps 4 or 5 months I realized that my athlete's foot was gone. Eventually I cut out the garlic and the fungus came back. I started adding about 8 to 10 cloves of juiced garlic to my carrots juice a couple of months ago, and within the past week increased that to a globe of garlic juice a day. I noticed that once more, my athlete's foot is gone, and the soles of my feet in particular (where it had also been besides between my toes) are much softer and without the tell tale whitish residue of the fungus. I also eat at least 8 or 10 cloves of garlic a day chopped up and cooked lightly (no more than 3 to 5 minutes) in my food, from oatmeal to rice. My real intent for the large amount of garlic is that I have read that it cleans cholesterol from the arteries and reduces your overall blood cholesterol, but that you have to keep it up for at least 6 months for it to do the job. Back to the fungus. The fungus is stubborn. I you have it on your feet it is in your socks, and your shoes. And even if you eliminate it from those places you can pick it back up again from public shower facilities like a gym club. Also if your partner or other family members have it, you can get it back from them. I first got mine as a teenager while attending the local YMCA. One last thing for anyone who doesn't eat much garlic but wishes to use it in quantities of over a couple of cloves a day. Work your way into it slowly because it will kill all sorts of parasites and also rid your body of toxins. On one message list a woman posted that she never ate garlic because it made her "sick." But one evening she ate at a middle eastern friend's home where a chopped garlic preparation was an adjunct to the dinner. The woman enjoyed it and tried to keep up with her hosts by eating about a half cup of the preparation. She became ill, spent the next 4 days in bed, and passed large quantities of worms. As I have gone to the globe of garlic juice a day, I am getting sores on my face and I know that it is my body ridding itself of toxins. Persistence pays off on fungus, but garlic does work.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Hi, does anyone have a cure for the fungus that is under the toenail? My best friend has spent probably 1,000$ trying to cure it. The MD's have had her on a bunch of different things, and they seem to help for a while, but when she quits taking them it comes right back. Right now she is using black walnut bark (tincture I think) and tea tree oil directly on the toe and nail. I've tried to get her to take garlic too but without success. Garlic is my answer to a lot of things, natures little antibiotic : ) Thanks for any help you can give us. Cheri' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 What about Neem? Kills around 12 different type of fungus. Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2002 Report Share Posted June 30, 2002 Thank you Jay and Erin, I'll be getting into nag mode about the garlic;) I believe she even has Neem oil so I know she'll try that too. Cheri' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 Dear Cheri', The internal handling is the Total Body Cleanse as found in the files. Externally, you'd want to apply Black Walnut Hull tincure. A two pronged attack as above would terminatedly handle the condition.
