Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 I have heard that using chlorophyll on the affected area will work. I don't rememmber if it takes more than one application. You wil have to cover the affected area once you put the chlorophyll on it as the chlorophyll is a bit messy. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Hi Mal, Have you tried applying tea tree oil with a swab? Soak, cut back the nail, dry and keep tea tree oil on the affected area. You can buy this at health food stores. Wear good absorbent socks with shoes, not hose. Keep your feet dry. Dry the area with a hair dryer before putting on socks and shoes. When possible air out the feet when sitting around. But, be careful to keep the feet very clean so as not to re-infect. Don't expose bare or sandal feet to soil or drag them through the grass. Be very careful of commercial pedicures. Do your own pedicures and keep the files, clippers, scissors etc. clean and disinfected. Also, I think diet can be a factor. Some foods cater to yeast and fungus. Hope this helps.

If you have worn shoes without socks, the shoes will become infected with your fungus, and will keep reinfecting you. THere is just about no way to get the fungus out of shoes, so the shoes must go. Also, trying soaking in a warm water and vinegar. good luck (it can take several months to cure) shoshana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Hi Mal, One other thing is, make sure the socks you are wearing are 100% natural fibers. Anything "poly" is bad because the foot skin cannot breathe well and the moisture is kept in (which is good for the fungus and bad for you). Also, I know talc with zinc powder gives good results. You should be able to find it at your local drugstore. With so many suggestions that everybody contributed something is bound to work ; )! Blessings to you and your feet!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Fungus, candida and a whole plethora of illnesses arise when our ph is either too acid or too alkaline. Call Dharam Kaur, R.N. (520-774-2261) about the "arise and Shine" cleanse. A many pronged approach is best and proper foods can heal you. I basically live on Mung Beans and rice (kitcheree) and much has changed in my life for me. Blessings, Dharam mrwagner wrote: > Thank you all for the replys.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2001 Report Share Posted August 15, 2001 Homeopathy works wqell in the kind of case you have described. I suggest you find a good homeopath in your area, and then it will be more or less cured.
