How Can I Get Rid Of My Toenail Infection?
Question:
I have an unsightly fungal infection in my toenails, which seems to be spreading. It's embarrassing going swimming and in the gym changing room. I've heard of conventional drug treatments - antifungal - but do they have side effects? And is there anything natural that would be effective?
Answer:
It may seem strange but the infection in your toenails is part of a huge disruption in evolution. For millions of years there was a perfect balance in nature, with bacteria, viruses and fungi thriving on their various hosts – bacteria and viruses on living beings, fungi on dead matter or soil. Then in 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming discovered that a particular fungus suppressed the growth of bacteria in his laboratory. The mould, Penicillium notatum. Produced such a powerful chemical that his bacterial culture could not survive - and so penicillin was discovered.
Until then bacteria were man's most dreaded nightmare because of the killer infections they caused, such as dysentery, pneumonia and tuberculosis. Medicine was empowered by this new fungal therapy, which was given the general name of antibiotic. Antibiotics were used for every kind of fever or infection that doctors encountered. They were even prescribed for diseases that had nothing to do with bacteria. Finding that they could no longer count on thriving on the bodies of people and domesticated animals, the smart bugs launched  counterattack. Some mutated and became resistant, to penicillin. Scientists responded by developing synthetic antibiotics, changing their chemical structure to outwit the bacteria. But these in turn managed to become resistant to the new drugs, forcing pharmaceutical companies to develop ever more complex formulae. The battle continued until the arrival of the so-called superbug MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) which has baffled scientists by its resistance to more than 90 per cent of antibiotics.
Despite the superbug, bacteria in general became weaker and viruses and fungi took over. The familiar bacterial infections became less prominent and their place was taken  by viral conditions - gastroenteritis, influenza, viral pneumonia. There were more fungal infections too. Candida albicans, a mutant of yeast, has become a common condition. Other fungal infections, including your own toenail problem, are spreading. Our bodies are becoming defenceless against these enemies, as a result of the overuse of antibiotics.
Fungal infection of the toenails is deep. In the past, fungus preferred the dead layers of skin, hair and nails. Because these areas are slightly out of reach of the body's immune and circulatory systems, they couldn't develop immunity and antibodies to the fungus. As your immune system cant help (and is, in any case, busy trying to combat fungal growth in other areas of the body, notably the gut), you must launch a well-planned, long-term attack on fungi in general.
I recommend that you avoid all substances that promote the growth of fungi, including antibiotics, unless really necessary. If you choose to use an antifungal product such as nysatin, be aware that they have only a temporary effect.
Diet
* Avoid yeast products such as bread, beer, Marmite, soy sauce, canned foods, brewer's yeast, pizza, pitta bread, nan, ready-made sauces. These encourage fungal growths in the gut and elsewhere.
* Avoid fungal products, such as mushrooms, medicinal mushroom products such as kombucha and shitake, cheese, vinegar, smoked fish and meat.
* Avoid sugar, cakes, desserts and syrups, also alcohol: they all feed the yeast and fungus. Take care of your liver lf the liver function is affected, it reduces the production of bile, which is a natural suppressant of gut candida. If this is controlled, it helps to check the fungal growth elsewhere in the body. To help liver function, take the following supplements.
* Soak % teaspoonful powdered kadu and ½ teaspoonful kariatu powder in a cup of hot water overnight Strain and drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
* Take Bioliv one twice daily for three months.
* Apply Kolonji Oil on the nails at night for two months.
* Every morning for two months put a few drops of fresh lime juice on the nails and rub in well.
* Paint the nails with Zalim Lotion on a cotton bud, once a week
for four weeks. Do not touch this solution as it is corrosive.
