Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hallo herbal friends , Here is a good one that crept up on me ... About 6 + years ago , I had 2 incidences , where two patients drove over my big toes with their electric scooters . Since then , the toenails thickened and I have maybe half of a toenail on either toe . They kind of look yellow , and are at least 1/8 of an inch thick .. If not 1/4 ! . Today , my left toe started hurting and when I came home and looked at it , it is turning black , and it hurts . Not only when I touch it , but all the time . Some weeks ago I spoke to the podiatrist who makes house calls where I work , and she thought it would be a good idea to get both big toe nails removed . Precautionary , because late onset diabetes runs in my family and I have seen enough feet / lower legs amputated because of diabetes . Does anybody have any good suggestions ???? Thanks Gab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I have the same problem and what has been working for me is putting Cayenne tincture underneath the nail and that has worked faster and better then tea tree oil.

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 No good suggestions for you because I have a big toe with the same issue, it has been hit again and again, fallen off twice and never fully grown. It's thick and yellowish. Embarassing and ugly. I'm interested in hearing any replies to this also. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 One thing is that you have fungus that comes from candida yeast over growth you need to do a body cleanse and stay away from sweets for a couple of weeks such as your fruits and refined sugars. Also apply tea tree oil to your toes for about a year it calls for sacraficing but it is well worth it.TriOrganics LLC <triorganics wrote: No good suggestions for you because I have a big toe with the same issue, it has been hit again and again, fallen off twice and never fully grown.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Not sure if it would work the same since you don't have a fungus but several months ago I was taking olive leaf extract for an infection and about a month after that I found my nail fungus was completely gone. My nails looked better than they had in a long time. Mary >>> gcliburn 09/17/06 5:46 PM >>> Hallo herbal friends , Here is a good one that crept up on me ...
