Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Hello, I have black toe nail for a long long time, probably 20 years, and cannot get rid of it. My doctor wanted me to take pills for it and thought I need to have it cut. My 2nd toe nail is very thick and discolored for probaby last ten years. I did reading on the topic and most books said my immune system is weak. For about two months, I tried 1/2 water and vineager solution to soak feet for 15 min a day and toe nail is slowing turning off grey. Effect seems slow so for the last month, I used cotton ball to put bit of vinegar on toe nail and let it dry. Would appreicate some feedback or suggestions if I am on the right track. thanks. christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi, Christine: Black Toenail " The liver, its bloom is in the nails¡when liver blood is insufficient, the nails are pale in color and brittle. " My grandmother had the latter condition but lived to age 95, healthy as a horse for most of her life. I always wondered why her nails were pale and brittle, as if peeling off from the outside. There is nothing else in the literature at hand, but my wife says that the condition is called ¡°Grey Nails,¡± and that there are medicated plasters available in China. I can try to get more information for you in coming days if you wish. Applications on the nail are one thing, but you might consider why your immune system is weak and work from that angle. What can you do to boost your immune system, and your liver?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi Jack: Thank you for your suggestions. Yes I am interested to learn more about the medicated plasters if you have info. I don't usually get sick but my liver blood could well be insufficient. I started getting hot flashes when I was 40 years old working in a very stressful job. Ever since then my period had been irregular. Now at 46, I have not had periods for two years. I eat something soy every day and don't have hot flashes for a few years. To boost my immune system, I started to put a few cloves of garlic when I cook and I try to do chi gong everyday. Any other suggestions to boost my immune system and improve liver is appreciated. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi, Christina: We checked on the medicated plasters for Black Toe (Hui Zhi Jia) in China. There is a medicine called: Xin Liang Jia, which can be applied to nails, comes in oil form, as well as paste and plaster. One box is 70 RMB in China, not sure where you live or how much it would cost in your local currency. It would be best if you could see a TCM practitioner and verify your condition. Maybe others would have comments about how to boost your liver? Kind regards, Jack --- cyhomail <chrisyho wrote: > Hi Jack: > > Thank you for your suggestions.
