Toenail Fungus Cures

 

big toe, nail fungus - click for larger imageWho gets Toenail Fungus?

Some people are more susceptible than others, and contract it with mild to severe symptoms. Factors that permit this disease include:

  • the abnormal pH level of the skin,
  • trauma to the nail,
  • poor hygiene of the foot,
  • susceptibility (such as decreased immunity) of the person who
    has contact with the fungus.

Some estimates are that over 11% of the North American population have fungus of the toenails, and it is one of the most common ailments that foot specialists attend to.

Toenail Fungus- What is it?

 Fungal infections are very common on both fingernail and toenails. It is a living organism that thrives in dark, damp environments such as under and around nails. Toes are more likely to be affected by fungus since it is attracted to a dark and damp environment which is more common on the foot than on the hand.

In more severe conditions, affected nails can have a yellowish or brownish discoloration. They may thicken or become brittle over time, and may even shed. Sometimes the nails have crumbling edges. It can be embarrassing, unsightly, disfiguring,  and at times, painful.

The nail itself provides a protective covering that allows the fungus to grow underneath. An accumulation of keratinous debris is usually found beneath the free edge of the infected nail. 

Other names for toenail fungus are: onychomycosis of the nail plate, and tinea of the nails.

How to avoid Toe Fungus

Toenail and athlete's foot fungi like to grow in warm, moist areas, which include public areas such as spas, swimming pools, locker rooms, or showers. For short periods of time the it can live in warm puddles on tile floors, awaiting someone to step in and pick up the spores. If you can wear sandals, water shoes, or swimming booties they would help in keeping your feet from touching the floor directly. Some public swimming pool areas have small wade-through pools which help to keep the toenail and athlete's foot fungi in check. After your session at the pool or other public area, wash your feet thoroughly and dry them well.

Tips:

  • Wear natural cotton socks
  • when drying your feet, only use your towel once on your fungus area, then wash it.
  • Do not share your towels or wash cloths with others; you may spread or collect spores
  • Use a paper towel or toilet paper to dry your affected area, and throw away when finished
  • Wear breathable shoes
  • Do not use nail polish until the disease is gone
  • File the infected nail thin so that a local treatment can penetrate the nail more effectively
  • Are you eating a lot of sugar in your food? Some people suggest reducing sugar consumption will make your body less capable of hosting fungi.

Toenail Fungus Cures

 

 

fungus on one side of big toe.Prevention is the best cure! Pure 100% wool, cotton, or silk socks are the best to wear because they absorb moisture from your feet (from sweating) and provide good ventilation. When you get your socks damp, it is a good idea to take them off and dry your feet before putting on a fresh pair of clean, dry, cotton socks.

Synthetic socks such as nylon are not advised because they don't allow the moisture to pass through away from your skin.

The best shoes to wear are those that allow plenty of air and moisture exchange. Look for air-breather holes on the sides, natural materials (plastic shoes do not allow air and moisture to pass through), and a comfortable fit. If you have a fungal condition already, sprinkle into your shoes a good anti-bacterial powder.Little toe fungus. click to enlarge.

Wearing nail polish is considered to be not a good idea as the polish may encourage fungal growth. The fungus is sealed beneath the toe nails in a dark, moist, warm environment that it loves to grow in. We have heard of a report that a woman couldn't get cured until after she removed her polish.

Of course, if you know of someone with toenail fungus or any communicable disease for that matter, sharing of towels, washcloths, shoes, or other personal items should definitely be avoided.

Washing and thoroughly drying your feet really helps. Because toenail fungi likes warm, damp environments, if you keep your feet dry, the fungus will find it hard to survive. When drying your feet, use a towel vigorously to remove dead skin and improve circulation.

Fungus and bacteria alike flourish in damp environments, so try to keep your feet as dry as possible. To vigorously fight the toenail fungus, take your socks off and go without them as often as you can. Also, it is important to keep your feet and toenails very clean on a daily basis. Use a nail brush to scrub away dirt, dead fungus and nail tissue, paying particular attention to underneath the toenails. Keeping your toenails cut as short as comfortably possible will help keep the fungus in check.

How do I cure toenail fungus? Are there natural cures?

A particularly nasty fungus growth in need of attention. Click to enlarge - if you aren't squeemish!For some people it can be difficult finding a natural cure to fight the embarrassment, disfigurement and the physical pain of toenail fungus. There are some (unnatural) internal medications available as prescriptions such as

  • itraconazole (Sporonox),
  • fluconazole (Diflucan),
  • griseofulvin (Fulvicin), and
  • terfinabine (Lamisil)
To help prevent major toe fungus, keep nails trimmed short.These medications have been shown to sometimes have side effects such as upset stomach, headaches, and liver damage. Mixing these oral medications with some other drugs can be extremely dangerous. They are very expensive as well, some of them can cost over $900 for just the treatment medications. There is a powerful reason why they are available by prescription only. It is important to realize that any toenail fungal cure is dependent on continual daily use until the infected tissue is eradicated, and then still more time until complete new toenails are grown. When it appears that the fungus has been beaten, you must continue using your chosen type of cure until new nails are in place.

Since the start of ToenailFungus.org in 2004, we have received countless emails from people discussing the issues they’ve had with nail fungus. This feedback has shed new light on what products are beneficial in treating this unfortunate affliction. From the vast amount of success stories we’ve observed, Zetaclear is the only product that is continuously praised from our readers. We have reviewed some other ideas why we recommend this fungus solution product. So we are convinced this is the most effective, safe and prompt solution to nail fungus and the promotion of healthy nails.

Zetaclear Nail Solution...

  •  is a natural remedy using a proprietary blend of homeopathic ingredients to gently treat the discoloration and thickened nails associated with nail fungus.
  •  contains natural oils from tea tree, lemon grass, and clove which have all been shown to assist in anti-fungal properties. Including arsenicum album and thuja occidentalis, which are useful in treating discolored, brittle and crumbling nails.
  •  has excellent customer support
  •  is very affordable
  •  is on sale this week!

How does it work?

Zetaclear is a two-part solution to healthier looking nails.

  •  Step 1: The topical proprietary formulation of natural oils aids in treating
    discolored nails in just a few short weeks.
     
  •  Step 2: The homeopathic oral relief spray treats the symptoms of nail fungus
    from the inside out. Bringing back nutrients to the nail follicles that can be lost due to a poor diet.

How long does it take to work?

Typically results are seen in the first one to two months and optimal results were (reported by viewers) seen within four to six months. From the general overall feel of the emails, it reinforces our belief that one has to take this product (or other similars) for up to six months - chances of the fungus reappearing is very low. Occasionally the website has an offer if you buy a four month supply you will receive an additional two months free. So taking advantage of that offer would give you the best chance in eliminating nail fungus for good.

Comments taken from fungus forum:
Tom
Is Zetaclear the only product that has shown to have the best results? Or is there other ones?

Lindsay
I’m sure most of you like myself have tried every pill, cream, home remedy and cleanser available. I am as skeptical as the next person when it comes to my nail fungus, but I gave it a shot and it actually worked.

Eddie
Zetaclear took some time to work, but eventually saw results during 3 to 4 months of use. Wish it worked faster but my nails were in bad shape to begin with.

Melissa
im only seventeen, so i was wondering if i even need the Zeta Clear stuff? or is that stuff for older people..?

Tony I'm almost 23 and I suffer from nail fungus issues, this actually worked for me as well, its only been 30 days so far, but I'll take it!

George
I JUST RECEIVED THE Zeta Clear,WHATS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE?HOW MANY A DAY IS BEST?

Cynthia
Have not had much luck with Lamisil or Fungisil so I will have to try this one out.

Lisa
Yeah Lamisil is way to expensive and you have to have a prescription! I don’t think I need all that just to get my nails looking healthy again.

Adam
I noticed results with Zeta during the first month, but to eliminate it all together & without reccurrences it is recommended to use it for 4 to 6 months.

Tanya
I'm on my second month of this solution and its looking pretty good. Is there a way for us to post pics here?

Jenny
I had nail fungus for years and have tried too many products to name. I actually found about Zetaclear through a friend and have been using it for the last 3 months. The dark yellow and gritty look started to diminish during the first month of use. I didn’t want to see it come back so continued taking it for a couple months. To date my nails are looking better than they have in years!
