First reported by Dr. T H Oliver in 1920, ozone and oxidative

therapies have been used extensively by doctors to treat a wide

range of health problems, such as vascular disease, cancer, viral

diseases, ulcers, inflammatory bowel diseases and spinal disc

problems. Additionally, these treatments are effective therapies

for contaminated wounds, burns and infections. The use of oxygen

to heal is based on the idea that it breaks down and eliminates

toxins from the body by " burning " them through the process of

oxidation.

In the process of ozone and oxidative therapies white blood cell

production is also encouraged, there is an increased delivery of

oxygen to the cells, red blood cell flexibility is expanded and

metabolism is also stimulated. Because of its ability to kill

bacteria and fungus, many cities purify their drinking water with

ozone.

Ozone therapy can be received in one of several ways, including

injection, inseffulation, ozone " bagging, " external use of

ozonated olive oil, and autohemotherapy. Inseffulation is the

process which consists of inserting a tiny tube into the infected

area and up to half a liter of pure ozone in a humidified gas is

introduces in less than thirty seconds. In order to fight nail

fungus, the best delivery of ozone to the body is by bagging or

the application of ozonated olive oil. Bagging is done by placing

the infected fingers in a plastic bag and filling that bag with

ozone. Ozonated olive oil, available in many natural health

stores, is made by bubbling ozone through olive oil for several

days until it solidifies. An effective way to reduce both the

symptoms and prevalence of the infection is to apply ozonated

olive oil to the affected nail several times daily until the

fungus has died and the healthy nail has regrown.

Oxidation therapy is commonly administered via hydrogen peroxide.

Because the body's cells produce hydrogen peroxide as a first

line of defense when confronted with bacteria, parasites and

yeast, it is known as an effective and natural immune system

booster. To treat nail fungus with oxidation therapy, a finger

soak is the best application. It is wisest to use food grade

hydrogen peroxide (35%) as the over the counter solution (3%)

contains other chemicals and impurities that may adversely affect

sensitive skin. Mix 2 ounces of the food grade type with warm

water and soak the nails infected with the fungus for 30 minutes.

If using the over the counter version, you will need nearly

twelve times the hydrogen peroxide to make an equally effective

solution. Repeat this treatment three to four times per week

until the infection has cleared.

Hydrogen peroxide is an extremely safe and effective treatment

for nail fungus when used with care. Because the pure form of the

solution is highly toxic and dangerous, it is absolutely

necessary to take care when using this home treatment by always

diluting it correctly. When administered in proper amounts this

form of treatment has shown great promise in the healing of many

ailments, including nail fungus.

When treating your nail fungus with ozone or oxidative therapy,

the success of the treatment depends entirely on your willingness

to continually treat the nail as directed and to continue your

chosen course of therapy for a considerable amount of time. The

treatment of nail fungus is so lengthy due to the fact even after

the fungus has died and the nail begins to clear, the treatment

must continue until the infected portion of the nail has

completely grown out. Unfortunately, because the cure for nail

fungus can take six months or longer, many people choose to live

with it rather than take measures to combat it.

Once the fungus has been effectively killed and the nail is

completely healthy, it is vital to take steps to ensure that the

fungus does not return. Keeping nails clean and trim is important

to ensure that the fungus cannot make a home under the nail.

Never pick at hangnails or other skin around the nails; germs can

more easily find a way into your nails if you do. When your hands

are to be exposed to water for prolonged periods of time, use

rubber gloves and make sure to give the gloves ample time to dry

inside out after use.

If you typically have your nails done at a salon, be sure that it

is a reputable one that understands the importance of sterilizing

all manicure equipment. It also may be necessary to discontinue

using nail polish or artificial nails as they can trap moisture

under the polish and encourage the growth of fungus. It is also

imperative to keep the hands clean, especially after contacting

fungus that may reside on other fingernails or toenails because

of the contagious nature of the fungus. Additionally, maintaining

a healthy immune system is a key to fighting any fungal

infections to which you may be exposed.
