View Full Version : Fungus
Mickmeister 06-22-09, 01:28 PM I have fungus in my left little toe. I have been reading a lot on treating it. I know there is an oral antifungal medication, but that takes 12 months to make a difference. I ended up pulling out the nail last night and have started applying hydrogen peroxide to the nail bed as a treatment. I knew that I would not be able to get directly to the fungus if the nail was left there. Anyone else tried this or another treatment?
takandjive 06-22-09, 01:32 PM Hydrogen peroxide is just going to further degrade the skin around it and will make the infection worse.
Fungi is highly resistant to OTC meds. You'll have to drag your ass to the doctor.
Mickmeister 06-22-09, 02:00 PM And that is exactly what I thought too. I just thought I would give it a try
PsychoTropicPuppy 06-22-09, 05:16 PM Never had one...and probably never will. But I guess going to the doc..is like the best advice..I can give. =*(
vslayer 06-29-09, 06:54 AM ive heard that regular application of a mild acid will kill off fungal infection. whether than comes in the form of a vinegar swab or urinating on your toe in the shower is up to you.

You might try tea tree oil.

Dont feel too bad. I have a chronic condition of sebborrheic dermatitis on my face. The inflamations come and go but there is no way to completely get rid of it. It's caused by, what most believe to be, yeast, or excess yeast. It gets nasty sometimes. Though doctors haven't been able to prove it, I believe it can be hereditary because my mother has the same thing.

go to a store which deals in Natural remedies ( I don't know where you live )
a few years ago I bought a " yeast buster kit " it works wonders
but be prepared , allow at least 2 days in a row , because you will feel very , very , tired , potentially , I know from experience , because of the yeast your killing off
but it works
( and if you can afford it , make an appointment with a Naturaopathic Doctor )

Thank you. I will definately look into that.
I used to have fungus on my bottom part of my foot, the way I removed is was antifungul cream, I also used liquid nitrogen freezing method. Being active is very import to get rid of fungus, as it allows blood flow to circulate and the body to fight against the infection.

however fungus and the growth thereof is usually a symptom of yeast-infection , in your blood
as I suggested in the above post use a " yeast buster kit " it is a healthy way to go , if nothing else

1) Quit caffeine.
2) Drink more water and 100% juices.
3) An oatmeal/avocado/honey mask will help with the inflammation.
4) Look into other suggestions.

Well, I don't drink anything caffinated.
I do drink A LOT of water and juice
A certain zinc spray works best. Found it at Walgreens.
takandjive 07-01-09, 10:41 AM ... Are you taking a multivitamin?
takandjive 07-01-09, 10:41 AM Also, if you eat a lot of sugar, stop.
Thoreau 07-01-09, 10:44 AM Nope, I live a pretty healthy lifestyle aside from being a smoker. And no, I don't take a multivitamin. They make me sick. Seriously. Don't know what it is, but something in em really crashes my immune system and I get sick for a few days everytime a take one.
takandjive 07-01-09, 10:46 AM The iron will make your tummy AWFUL on an empty stomach. I take prenatal vitamins and they still make me feel like throwing up, even with a small meal. I just eat something with it and try to sit down for 30 minutes, and that makes it tolerable.
takandjive 07-01-09, 10:47 AM Also, if your iron is 13.5 or higher, just take one without iron.
Thoreau 07-01-09, 10:57 AM Yeah, I don't know what it is. It's not like a stomach ache or anything. Its literally like I get a bad cold. My fever raises, I get cold sweats, etc. And it lasts for days. Thats why I try to steer clear of vitamins in general. I don't know what causes it, so with all of the crap that comes in vitamins, it would take forever to narrow down what it could be.

good
I do drink A LOT of water and juice
be careful of the type of juice though , in Canada I can look on the label on the juice container and find out the sugar content , per/ cup
for instance my Red Grape Juice , sugars is 41g / cup ( thats high )
and sugars promotes yeast growth > fungus
so what I've done is to dilute the juice to at least half bottled water until I run out of this juice until I run out
then I'll by juice no more
your better off with just eating the fruit its self , the sugars are much less
Mickmeister 07-05-09, 10:47 AM Also, if you eat a lot of sugar, stop.
The sugar and caffeine are a must for me. I am on a high carbohydrate diet.

it could be a symtom of a yeast problem
yeast love sugar
just an opinion
