  1. Diet is very important to lower sugar and starches as this will feed the fungus.

    Care of feet are dry, change socks often if needed.

    Australian Bush Flower Essences Emergency Essence cream.  IT is not a drug but very effective at controlling toe fungus, well any fungus actually that is on the skin or toes.

    Better circulation will help as well, so waking is a good thing to do. so the addition of Tall Mulla-Mulla to the Emergency Essence cream treatment (the Tall Mulla-Mulla can be taken orally twice a day from a dosage bottle of Tall Mulla-Mulla) if one can not walk.

  2. In my holistic health office, clients usually did a body cleanse to help get fungus out of the body.  (If it's coming out in your toenails you can be sure its all through your body.)  I even had a medical doctor refer a client to me for this because he thought she was too young for the drug that might damage her liver.  

    If you don't want to do something that intense, tea tree oil is the norm, but I think oregano oil works better.  Either way it might take like 3-6 months.  You have to wash your feet and put the oil on afterward 2 times a day.

  3.    Believe it or not, my friend told me that her doctor recommended Vicks chest rub! I don't know what the menthol does to the fungus, but she swears that it works for her.  

  4. tea tree oil helps with any fungus you could EVER have!  

  5. Take tea tree oil  and menthol oil in a hot foot bath in a bowl. About 10 drops of each to about 3/4 gallon hot/warm water. soak your feet twice a day. for 2 weeks. this will kill the fungis but it will take a while for the damage that has been done to grow out. While doing this mix a sulotion of tea tree and menthol in a spray bottle  and spray your shoes ever time you take them off. try going with out shoes as much as you can. Fungi love warm moist places like your shoes.

  6. Aww geez hun, i know the pain all too well ........ you need to avoid all yeast and sugar products to kill a yeast infection ..... and that is precisely what toenail or fingernail fungus is .... a yeast infection..The classic telltale signs of a yeast infection include a white tongue (thrush), toenail or fingernail fungus, vaginal yeast infections and athlete's foot.

    Sugar will literally feed the yeast overgrowth allowing it to flourish... ditch the alcohol and sodas and diet sodas too if you drink any .... antiobiotics, especially broad - spectrum antiobiotics will also kill the helpful bacteria which you need for a healthy gut ........ supplement with a good quality probiotic to rebalance gut flora ......... eat more alkaline forming foods such as leafy and green vegies, cold water fishes such as tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting, organic nuts and seeds such as almonds and brazil nuts........ all these foods are rich in magnesium and will thus encourage the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy aiding in digestion and effective elimination ........the leafy greens and cold water fishes are also rich in calcium and protein and the fish are a rich source of vitamin D too ....... eat organic brown rice and quinoa (prounounced keen ~ wah) as they are both a rich source of the B complex of vitamins and will provide you with the carbs you need for sustained energy and the quinoa is also rich in calcium and iron .......... don't forget about getting enough iron on a daily basis too ie ~ lean red meats ..... Avoid sugars such as honey, molasses, fructose, maltose, lactose (that means all milk and dairy products) and fruit juices ...... avoid artificial sweetners and foods containing brewer's yeast - ie - alcohol such as beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, rum, ciders and root beer.... avoid baker's yeast ie ~ breads and rolls and pastries .... avoid mushrooms ... avoid fruits and vegies with any sign of mold growth on them .... avoid fermented beverages and condiments including mayonnaise, ketchup, pickled vegies and pickles, salad dressings (use lemon and olive oil instead), soy sauce and vinegar .... avoid all types of hard cheeses which are a pretty good source of mold.... avoid processed and smoked meats and fish, including hot dogs, sausages, luncheon meats etc....... these meats are processed with sugar, spices, yeast and other preservatives .... avoid canned bottled or frozen fruit and vegie juices cos they have loads of sugar and are commonly made from overripened or damaged produce; generally the skin of the fruit contains surface mold and rotten spots, which are pulverised into the juice... avoid dried fruits.... avoid coffee & tea as much as you can as caffeine will aggravate yeast overgrowth..................... you don't need to use medications to kill a yeast overgrowth ..... simply eliminate their food source and they will disappear on their own ...... if you normalise the bacterial flora in the gastrointestinal tract you will feel much better and in most cases won't need drugs ♥

    truly, eat loads and loads of green and leafy vegies, squeeze lemon juice over it to spice it up and help torch bacteria and bolster both your immunity and digestive process ........ and cold water fishes and brown rice / quinoa and watch it clear up........ oh, drink loads and loads of fresh filtered water to ... to ensure you are properly hydrated as the healthiest and happiest body will always be the most hydrated one .

    hope this helps u

    peace 2 you
