Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 My foot doc says the only way to cure my toenails is to remove them. Surely there is a better way. I do not want to use the substance advertised on TV as it has serious side effects. Any suggestions? Any suggestions with true success stories?

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Charles- I have the same issue. I am combating it by soaking my feet in a mixture of water and some organic apple cider vinegar. I also put tea tree oil on the toe nails and in between my toes in the morning and night. I had it bad between the toes and it eventually spread to some of the nails. The in between the toes stuff is almost gone, now and I think the nails are soon to follow. If you decide to do this method, get a nail file and some toe nail clips. Clip and file the nails down as much as you can. Then do the above methods daily. I have been religious with the tea tree. Not so much with the Apple Cider Vinegar. Your email actually inspired me to start doing the soak with the Apple Cider Vinegar again. I have only done that 3 times but there are results, at least for the fungus between my toes, everytime I soak. The foot and toe nail fungus is a hard one to eradicate for some reason. You need to use some method on a daily basis because the fungus grows so fast.... Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi Charles, Ouch!!! Doctors really are sadists!!! Don't get your toenails removed!! I have a really good friend that has had SEVERE nail fungus ever since I've known her - about 10 years. Hands and feet. She essentially didn't have nails anymore. 6 months ago she did the Total Body Cleanse, at my urging and now she has beautifully healthy nails almost fully grown in!! She and I are going to start another cleanse in the next few weeks here, and when her nails are fully grown in, we're going to get a manicure and pedicure!! Try the body cleanse. It works!!

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 At the very least coat the toes with vicks vapor rub every twice a day--watch the improvement-it is nearly immediate. Do the cleanse. DO NOT, oh please don't remove the nails. I knocked one of mine off once running up the concrete steps--and it was so not pretty.
