Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Tea Tree Oil is slow, but can be helpful. (RA 25+ years, AP since Nov. 97) rheumatic Re: Nail Fungus Hi Hank Fungal nail infections are nortoriously difficult to treat. Fingernails are marginally easier to treat than toenails. The usual culprit is the fungus Onychomycosis. Topical applications of liquids or creams aren't usually very effective as they can't reach the source of the infection which needs to be treated internally. I was treated with Lamisil (Terbinafine) tablets 250mg daily for several months to try to clear up long a standing fungal infection of both big toe nails 3 years ago. I had nail clippings analysed to confirm the diagnosis. Even with prolonged treatment I only managed to completely clear one nail. I stopped treatment on my doctors orders after developing painful joints. He looked up the possible side effects and arthritis was listed, although I can't find any reference to it on the net. I had hoped the awful pain and stiffness I was experiencing was drug induced and would clear up once I discontinued use, but it continued to get worse and I was eventually diagnosed with RA. It was probably pure coincidence, but I have often wondered if Lamisil was in some way responsible. Needless to say, I still have one infected toenail and am concerned that this fungus could be impeeding my Minocin treatment. I have even contemplated having the whole nail removed, but that's drastic action and I'm not even sure that would rid my system of the fungus. It could still be lurking internally. Not sure if this helps, but thought I'd add my personal experience to the debate.

Just thought I'd pass along what Dr. Weil said and a couple of other links he had pointed to: " Toenail fungus is a pesky and sometimes embarrassing problem that occasionally can become painful, sometimes so painful that it becomes difficult to walk. The problem is an infection called onychomycosis that affects the bed and plate underlying the nail. It's usually caused by fungi called dermophytes that live off the protein in the nail, and at least 5 percent of the population has the infection. You can pick up the infection easily when walking barefoot in damp public areas like swimming pools, locker rooms, and showers. People with chronic diseases such as diabetes or immune-deficiency conditions are especially vulnerable, as are those with a history of athlete's foot or those prone to excessive perspiration. Tea tree oil — a natural disinfectant sold at health food stores — usually does work, but you've got to be patient: Paint it on the affected nails twice a day for at least two months. The nail has to grow out for the fungus to be eradicated, so it may take up to a year to see results. You also could try grapefruit seed extract, which you use in the same way as tea tree oil: Apply twice a day for at least two months. As for conventional treatments, oral antifungal drugs seem to be effective in most cases but pose the risk of potentially fatal liver problems. While this has occurred only in rare cases, I see no reason to take even a very small risk for a problem that usually is cosmetic. In addition to these new prescription drugs, podiatrists sometimes perform surgery to temporarily remove infected nails so that a topical antifungal medication can be applied directly to the nail bed. In painful cases, a chronically infected nail can be permanently removed. Besides treatment, be sure to take these precautions to prevent recurrences: * Keep your feet as clean and dry as possible. * Wear waterproof sandals at swimming pools or other wet public areas. * Change your socks or hosiery daily. * Clip toenails straight across — nails should not extend beyond the tips of the toes. * Avoid tight hosiery, which promotes moisture retention; wear synthetic fabric socks that " wick " moisture away from feet better than cotton or wool.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 What I recommend is white vinegar. I have seen and heard from many people that it does work for nail fungus . What is does is lower the pH level that fungi have a difficult time growing in. KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 a, Nail fungus, toe fungus, thrush, rashes, coated tongue, are all signs of a systemic candida infestation. Mold will certainly exacerbate any form of fungal infection. Systemically (throughout the blood and lymph) these fungal pathogens can be destroyed, then topically all forms of rashes, nail fungs will go away.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 NHS, if you have the magic cure I sure would like to know it. On another note, I have no other symptoms you listed, and my toenail, one, seems to have been triggered by my love of having painted toenails in the summer. It almost seems to have been an allergy to nail polish, or at least the nail polish gave the fungus a toehold, so to speak. I think I want to know what your cure is, as long as it isn't a few thousand herbals. <grin> a a, Nail fungus, toe fungus, thrush, rashes, coated tongue, are all signs of a systemic candida infestation.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Thanks Betsy, it would be a good idea for everyone to read my free eBook, on my NHS site,and educate themselves to the facts. Bottom line is drs will NEVER admit that mold, fungi, parasites cause any kind of health problems, when in fact they cause serious health conditions. The reason WHY they won't admit it is because drs are the CAUSE of all systemic infections from the overuse of prescribed meds. People need to understand that drugs never cure anybody of anything, all they do is supress symptoms, then the systemic infection comes back with a vengence! This is the same reason why people retain FAT, due to toxins and poisons from drugs, i.e.: FACT: Over 85% of the population is overweight! CAUSE: TOXINS.........most all toxins are put into our body at the end of our fork! As a society we have destroyed the air, water and food we eat, so whats left? Over 3,000 chemicals are deliberately added to our food supply, thus, by the time the food reaches our stomach we have consumed 10,000 - 15,000 chemicals a day! RESULT: As the body takes in toxins/chemicals/poisons, the body automatically manufactures fat to surround these poisons to keep them from flowing around in the blood and lymph, causing immune breakdown. The more toxins the body takes in, the more FAT that is stored in the tissues/organs. SOLUTION: With our New Technology, we now know that when you remove toxins from the body, the fat automatically leaves with the toxins. Imagine losing 10-15+ lbs. in 9 days safely without drs, drugs, or dieting, and restoring muscles, without losing lean body mass.
