Trimming & Cutting Toe Nails

Oh geez, you're so right about the doctors giving us meds, and tests, and wow, you can have about anything you want. It's been so worth it to me to try alternatives first.

I really liked this little blurb I found just now, http://everydayroots.com/how-to-get-rid-of-toenail-fungus

It has one of my faves in there, well two, grapeseed oil, and Apple Cider Vinegar. I think if I had the fungus amongus, I would try and wear open toed shoes if weather permitted, and if not, at least around the house so my toes could get as much air, and no sweating in socks/shoes;) That's also why so many ladies get that nail-fungus under false nails, dark and damp. My friend Edie darn near lost a finger in 2009. I wondered because she was NEVER without those nails for at least 2 years I was around her.
 

You're right Denise, it's wise to try an alternative treatment before subjecting yourself to the serious side effects of all those readily prescribed drugs. The coconut oil in the article was interesting, I use it often, take it internally daily. It's anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, etc. http://www.natmedtalk.com/wiki/Coconut

It's true about not letting the nails dry also, like even using polish all the time is actually harmful for the nails, it doesn't let them breathe. They say for those who are really fighting fungus, to use a blow hair dryer on the nails after a shower, to insure the moisture is gone.
 
I tried all the over-the-counter and "folk" (I was astounded at the number of things people soak their toes in...including urine) remedies for the spot of fungus under my big toenail. Nothing worked, so I had the nail removed early last spring by the podiatrist. I'm sorry I watched, is all I can say. It took about six months for the nail to grow back but, knock on wood, it looks like the fungus is gone, gone, gone.

'scuse me.... Did I say I recommended it??? Only that it exists.. and for the record.. I wouldn't take it.. I wouldn't soak my feet in urine or other weird things either... However, it's not an issue for me... My feet are perfect..:tongue:

Firstly, I never said you "recommended" anything, but why even mention something to someone for a condition, that you wouldn't even take? That makes no sense to me. I don't care what you would or wouldn't do, honestly. Whatever floats your boat, to each his own.

I personally am just trying to give my advice to the original poster of this thread, because I actually do care about people other than myself. I don't care if you agree with anything I say or not, I'm not set on changing anyone's opinions here. I'm sure your mature response to all the replies here is much appreciated by all.
 
I have had problem with toenail fungus since Nursing School. I had to wear big thick shoes that allowed no air flow. I have been using Military Strength Toenail Fungus Remover from The Vermont Country Store online. It seems to help some.

Just lightening things up.... I guess I don't take things like this as seriously as you apparently do... especially since this thread had fallen into into the :beatdeadhorse: catagory, it's gotten tedious.. 83 postes on Toenails?? Anyway.... I'll defer... carry on... and by the way... it's called a JOKE....

And YES... it's feasible to point out that there are other medications in existence for the treatment of onychomycosis.. (nail fungus). I would hope that people are "Mature" enough to make their own decisions on what to take, based on their own research and the advise of their MD, not what I would or would not do. I certainly don't think people should be following the advise of anyone on a message board, but should be made aware of all the alternatives. Thank you very much.

Yes, being on your feet all day in that type of shoe. Seems like the nurses wear mostly tennies now, if so, a real improvement since tennies have the vents. I don't know what is in your anti fungus, but if it's not clearing it up, take a gander at that link I put up earlier for home remedies, Denise
