Any suggestions for treating fungal infection of my toenails?


Question:
Its been bothering me for 15 years without complete cure by conventional medicine.

Answers:
I used garlic.

All of the prescribed meds have too many potential side effects and are pricey for long term and low cure rates for me!

I simply filed the nail where it had thickened across the entire top... thinned it down a bit, but be careful not to hit the quick. Sliced a large clove of fresh garlic fairly thin and bandaged a slice or two to the nail (enough to cover). Wore it for a couple of days, changing it every 6 to 10 hours to maintain strength.
Repeated the process again a couple of weeks later and have not had the problem since.

It might take longer for you since you have had it for so long. Hope it fixes yours too!

Other Answers:
Lamasil orally and tincture is a place to start. If that is a little aggressive, go for Allpressan 7 nail tincture.
I have the same problem, I had a doctor recently tell me that there's new medicines, so maybe you should try those. I'm going to once my new health insurance kicks in.
go to a doctor and get something Rx.

What you may want to do is examine your DIET as well. You may be eating too much refined sugar, too much refined flour, and too much refined carbohydrates. You may want to do a CANDIDA cleanse there is a good one from RENEW LIFE they make fine products. Also you may want to add PROBIOTICS( Friendly Bacteria ). Conventional Medicine only deals with SYMPTOMS to totally deal with a problem you must deal with what is CAUSING the symptoms. Diet is the cause of 90% of most of the ailments out there and when we imbalance our bodies it cause all sorts of problems. Blood Type is also relevant as well because if you are overdoing GLUTEN containing grains(Wheat,Rye,Barley, and Oats)this could be another culprit. While doing all of this you may want to use OREGANO OIL directly on the toenail,GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT is also helpful if applied directly on the affected area.You want to approach this holistically.15 YEARS??!! that is a LONG time to be dealing with Toenail fungus something that stubborn and resiliant is being helped by something you are doing in your lifestyle, Something you are doing dietarily must change.Garlic is also helpful and I hope this info is helpful.
