Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I agree with Sindy and her concern about the potential dangers of internal Rx nail fungus meds. My anthroposophic M.D. has referred several of his patients with nail fungus to me and had them purchase (for topical use) my oregano oil, tea tree oil and the taheebo foot soak I make. I feel for the folks suffering with itchy feet and ugly nails and anyone in need of tea tree oil, oregano oil, or taheebo foot soak, who orders from me this week and mentions this list will receive 10% off of those 3 items The oils can be ordered on my web site. The foot bath currently must be special ordered by e-mail (it will be available on the web site for my new company that is coming soon). *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com , " Sindy Anderson " <sssoap wrote: > > <snipped> being a nail tech I have to disagree about the dr pres rx~ nail fungus is REALLY NASTY, but truthfully, the dr pres med's can/usually may cause liver damage and you have to take them for about 6 months~and they're expensive~! > > In my opinion you can treat fungus topically with tea tree and a carrier oil for excellent results~ it's just a daily thing~ and most people don't/won't remember daily~ it's an extra slow process~ I had a friend that had gotten nail fungus from a nail shop and I treated it for almost a year with tea tree and lavender e/o's mixed with a little jojoba and almond oils~ I also gave her a bottle to use at home/school as she thought about it~ I'm happy to report it cleared up, but it did take a really long time~ and might reoccur~ same as eczema~ treatable and reoccurable~(not a word, lol) but you get the idea~ Also, when the dr's prescribe the meds, they don't tell you but it's a 50/50 shot that it will heal/cure the fungus~ > You are right, trim the nail as much as possible~ file the thickness down as much as possible, then treat~ it also doesn't hurt to soak in epsom salts before treatment, it thins/lifts the nail so the e/os sink in better~ I put Becky's in a dropper bottle and let her apply it under her nails as often as she remembered~ and each time I did her nails we applied it~ also, it takes 6 weeks for healthy nail to grow from under your skin to the exposed part of the nail bed and harden, then another 6 weeks maybe more to grow from there~ > yall's nail lesson of the day~lol~ My thoughts are what is a bad toe nail compared to possible liver damage~ please be very careful with the dr pres med's~they are extremely strong~ check all the side effects~ but I'm the type person, I only use a presc if absolutely necessary~ I save them for emergencies~ > Sindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
