I have had a fungal toe nail problem for as long as i can remember and its getting no better, its on two toes on each foot and it is really disgusting! What are the best treatments in the UK for it without seeing the doctor?
Thanks.
Get some apple cider vinegar with mother in it (looks like goop in it) sit your feet in a pan and pour the vinegar to just cover the feet and let them soak for about 20 minutes.
After that dry the feet and put some vics vapo rub on your feet and toes and then cover with socks. You should see improvement within 2 days and continue until its gone. DO NOT put fungus fingers in the vics vapo rub. Use a spoon to get out what you need.
Do these things right before bed so you can sleep with the vics on your feet over night.
Thanks!
you definitely need to get rid of fungus!
for me worked very well zetaclear! I think it is the fastest way to get rid of fungus! Nail fungus is tough to treat. The extracts in Zetaclear provide the most powerful therapeutic effect for healthy looking nails.
Obviously, you can’t spray herbicide on your feet or hands! The next best thing is Zetaclear. It’s made from all-natural homeopathic ingredients. This product works time after time and results are guaranteed. This extra strength solution is designed to be as aggressive and strong as possible, without causing irritation.
It worked fast and still works for me!
I do not know if any pharmacies carry ZetaClear but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.zetaclear.com/?aid=749165
In your own experience, besides going to a podiatrist, are there any good, safe ways to get rid of nail fungus or are all those over the counter ones BS?
Vicks Vapor Rub formula. Apply right on the fungus everyday, and a round the nail. Not sure how the products work but im a Nail Technician and we learned that in school and also from my boss. I know it sounds crazy but it will help!
No, there is no anti fungal in Vicks.
Buy some tea tree oil from the pharmacy or Natural Health food store and use that. It is safe and effective.
Make sure it is a good grade though T36 C5 which is a pharmaceutical grade.
If you can’t find it let me know, I buy it wholesale over the Internet and can show you how to get it (and much more) wholesale and save $$!
the fungus goes 95% and new healthy nail appears and all of sudden small fungus reappears to spoil completely the new nail.The damage repeats. The drugs administered oral prescription warns of damage to liver and kidney if over/mal dosed.One hand one ring finger is the affected part now. Afraid it may spread to other fingers eventually if not treated. Waiting in anxiety for solutions from kind people at large.
Hi Deva
I think this is the info you need. Kill a fungus/infection is what you need done. Here are plenty of ideas that will work.
Symptoms
Symptoms of infection include redness, inflammation, pain, swelling, and pus formation (abscess) at the site of the infection. Fever, cough, sneezing, fatigue, and bowel dysfunction (diarrhea) can also arise due to infection.
Note: Antibiotics do not protect against viral infection or inflammatory conditions, although they are often prescribed for such conditions.
Moreover, antibiotics destroy both harmful bacteria and the beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, potentially causing digestive and gastrointestinal problems and systemic yeast (Candida albicans) overgrowth.

Natural Cures
Aromatherapy: For fungicidal infections, cedarwood is effective, while for infected wounds, frankincense, tea tree, and/or patchouli can be useful.
Diet: Increase your intake of garlic and unflavored yogurt, and add infection fighting foods, such as diluted and organic (no sugar added) orange juice, apples and apple juice, grapes and grape juice, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, plums, figs, cabbage, onion, kelp, and raw honey to your diet. Avoid sugar in any form, and drink plenty of filtered water.
Herbs: Herbs that act as anti-infectious agents include echinacea, goldenseal, garlic, Oregon grape, barberry, and adaptogenic herbs such as Siberian ginseng. Grapefruit seed extract also has strong antibiotic-like properties and can be applied topically or taken orally. Olive leaf extract has both antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it useful for a wide range of infections.
Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.
Hyperthermia: Hyperthermia involves artificially creating fever in the body for the purpose of boosting immune function. Hyperthermia can be a highly effective method of eliminating toxins and heavy metals, as well as infectious bacteria and viruses that cannot survive in elevated body temperatures.
*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy or hyperthermia treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.
Juice Therapy: Combining the juices of carrot, celery, beet, cantaloupe, and ginger can be helpful.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutritional alternative to antibiotics is often effective in treating infection, particularly in the initial stages: vitamin A (400,000 IU daily for five days), liquid garlic extract (up to two 4-ounce bottles a day) or the equivalent of high-quality garlic in capsules or tablets, and vitamin C to bowel tolerance.
Note: This protocol should only be used only under your doctor`s guidance. The dosages are for an average 150-pound adult and should be scaled down proportionately according to weight. The vitamin A should be taken for a period of at least three days, but no more than five days. In addition, vitamin A in these doses can cause headaches in about 1% of those who use it. Should this occur, decrease the dose.
Other useful nutrients for dealing with infection include: colloidal silver, essential fatty acids (EFAs), bromelain (an enzyme with anti-inflammatory properties), calcium, magnesium, vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, and zinc.
Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating infection: Acupuncture, Craniosacral Therapy, Detoxification Therapy, Environmental Medicine, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Oxygen Therapy, Reflexology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Best of health to you
An infection of nail fungus (onychomycosis) occurs when fungi infect one or more of your nails. Onychomycosis (on-i-ko-mi-KO-sis) usually begins as a white or yellow spot under the tip of your fingernail or toenail. As the nail fungus spreads deeper into your nail, it may cause your nail to discolor, thicken and develop crumbling edges — an unsightly and potentially painful problem.
the best otc drug’s are ciclopirox (Penlac), which you paint onto your infected nails and surrounding skin once a day.
and econazole nitrate (Spectazole).
Total remedy for nail root fungus
Apply anti fungal ointment three times daily. Always keep the hand dry. Even if you treat the nail infection completely, it may come back at any time. So please continue to apply ointment some days more.
