Guest guest Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Toenail fungus is not exactly life threatening, but it certainly is a persistent nuisance. I was doing a home Reflexology visit for a diabetic friend who is on kidney dialysis to boot. As most of you will know, diabetics have a hard time recovering from any foot problems. His wife called my attention to his big toenail: beautiful, clean, fungus-free, with healthy new growth. They had been using a herbal salve that is applied to the toe and then covered with a Band-Aid. That is something many of us can use!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 As a prior nail technician and now a biofeedback practitioner using over 90 alternative/holistic modalities in my practice, I disagree with this statment. Big Pharma and Allopathic practioners would have you believe that what you are saying is true, but from personal and professional experience, it just isn't the case. Pharmaceuticals take over 1 year to treat a fungus( training in nail school), that can be treated quickly and simply with alternative and holistic approaches in less than the time you are saying. Changes in diet to stop the feeding of fungus, cleansing and detoxing, treatment with holistic antifungals all are shown to be effective in the treatment and healing of nail fungus.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hello Medusa, I have been hesitant to get a prescription for my nail fungus because I have had quite a few people tell me that it clears with a prescription, only to come back. I also can't stand the smell of most topical remedies. I had my nail tech recommend Oregano Oil (internally in pills and externally on the nail and under it), and I am trying it. However, I could not find a lot of information on it about dose or adverse reactions, so I am watching closely. Maybe someone can tell me know if this is safe remedy or not. I am taking it in pill and using it topically, and so far it seems to be working. It's a bit expensive in the super strength varity that was recommended but easy to find at the health food store. The only adverse reactions I have found so far after a week of use is that I am really craving spaghetti and feeling rather earthy from the strong spice smell. Sending you love and light...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Sharon, You can change to Oregano Tincture for the same results without the strong taste and side effects. Oil of Oregano is very strong in smell and taste. Tincture is more mild and palatable. Tincture I have found is also less expensive. Also you can apply tea tree oil topically to the affected nail. Lavender and peppermint have also been known to benefit. I had my clients using Tea Tree Oil with excellent results. A foot bath with white vinager helps also. But the catch is to also get the fungus which is also internal. Muscle test for what dosage your body needs. Parasties feed on fungus. Fungus feeds on sugars and starches. So change in diet eliminating those foods that feed fungus. Parasite cleanse to free the body of toxins will also help. Using the Oregano tincture internally and topically, keeping your feet dry and wearing open toed shoes or shoes that allow your feet to breath (no synthetic/man-made materials) cotton socks (no wool or synthetics) will also help. Avoiding wet areas as much as possible, including using shower shoes and cleaning shower/tub with hospital grade disinfectants helps.
