If you have a medical issue, you should seek the counsel of a qualified medical practitioner, doctor or physician.
We do not advocate one treatment over another or recommend that you take health matters in your own hands by self-diagnosing any condition or treating yourself without the benefit of checking with a doctor first.
With that said, there are plenty of documented studies and plenty of scientific research pointing to the benefits of natural medicine and plant based or plant derived products that can help to alleviate or eliminate symptoms of certain conditions.
There are clinical studies that have been done throughout the world on such things as Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and dozens of other botanical products. The medicinal properties of raw Garlic have been known for centuries as well as the anti-bacterial properties of honey, which has been used in biblical times for a wound healing agent.
Western medicine has helped save lives and many traditional treatments are vital and necessary to a person's health. However, there may be limitations to conventional treatments for cancer like chemotherapy and radiation. While I do not say that there is a cure for certain types of cancers, there are those people who have used alternative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and ozone therapy to help rid themselves of cancer. Why some studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped stroke victims and those suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
Here are some sad facts of Alternative Medicine in the US:
The FDA promotes only pharmaceutical drugs and has a decades-long record of not approving, or even looking at, anything alternative. Again, this is the way of the world and you must face it.
In medical lawsuits, well-meaning but misinformed juries rule against doctors unless they've used conventional drugs, surgery and radiation.
Doctor's malpractice insurance won't cover them if they use "unapproved" alternatives.
Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.
The FDA may do the same and confiscate patient records and medical equipment.
Doctors may lose their right to see their patients in hospitals.
Yet, to this day, thousands upon thousands of people stricken with all kinds of serious medical conditions have felt the inadequacy of traditional or conventional medicine and have sought out alternative treatments, whether they be approved by the AMA or FDA.
Whether it is Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic or Holistic Medicine, there are other therapies and natural approaches to diseases and many of them work better than the recommended protocols and without many of the harmful side effects.

If you go to Foot section at Meijer , Rite Aid or cvs and look for the Noni gel for fungus nails. This is somewhat expensive, however it has a guarantee, that is worth a try. There are many other products available I have tried many, they did not work. The Podiatrist is a good place to get help, if he uses laser.
Keep your feet very clean, soak in warm sudsy water, then rinse. When possible wear open toed shoes, sandals, and go barefoot in your house. Get new shoes frequently, and use foot powder. Extremely difficult to heal
U WORK TO HARD!!!
CHILLAX AND KICK BACK 4 A CHANGE
OR GET A SCOOTER…LOL
NAH BUT SERIOUSLY RELAX ..I CAN TELL ..U NEED IT!!
i would go to the doctor and get med’s to help it plus ask your doc. what shoes would be the best for your job since you are on your feet so long.
Once toenail fungus gets into the nails you have about a 10% chance of getting rid of it. No matter what cream, pills or spray you use. You can get them removed by a podiatrist (easy procedure) and wait about 8-12 months for regrowth and see if they grow back healthy. Eventually it will spread to the other toenails and if you touch it with your fingernails it can spread to them also. If they get really infected with the fungus they will get so thick they will just fall off one day. They will also smell really bad. Get them checked out by a podiatrist. If they put you on oral meds make sure you get your liver checked with blood work every 3 months to make sure the pills arent damaging your liver.
need to see the doc for some treatment
Dark colored polish can stain your nails yellow. Toenail fungus would have your toenails thickened and peeling..not just yellow.
Because feet sweat ur shoes r getting humid, it dosent help u r in them for 12 hours a day.
Look up Hongosan or hongotrim. they also just came out with a pill you can take to help with this form the inside out.
U need to fix this problem asap becuase fungus spreads and ur other toes may start to be affected
This modern home remedy is well-proven: Vicks vaporub. Sounds gross, but it works better than expensive oral and topical medications (prescription or OTC).
"VICKS VAPORUB: For nail fungus, simply clip the nail as far back as possible without causing pain, and rub the Vicks onto the nail and surrounding skin twice a day. This may take months before results are visible. For fungal infections of the skin (athlete’s foot, jock itch, etc.) or psoriasis, simply rub a small amount of Vicks onto the affected area twice a day. May take up to a week to clear."
