20 Years Problem of Toenail Fungus
I have this problem with toenail fungus for the past 20 years or so, and the under the nails are hard yucky stuff and that causes the toe to smell. Do you think that it is too late to try your mixture? I don't think that tea oil is available in my country can you give me a substitute oil? I can't even cut the nail properly and it is now causing ingrown toenail.
If you do not have tea tree oil, there are other oils that have anti-fungal capabilities, such as thyme oil and oregano oil. There are weaker ones such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil, pine needle oils.
Since you have a long-term nail infection, consider using tetrasodium EDTA for cleaning the nails or soaking them to loosen the dirt. They make much better cleaning solutions for the toe nails.
The reason for abnormal growth of toenails is probably caused by improper utilization of calcium, so try taking more vitamin D supplements (usual dose is 3,000 I.U.) and silicon supplements in form of silicic acid dissolved in water. Dissolve silicic acid 10% in water and take about 10 drops/day. Silicon will help normal hair growth. Take about 2-3 grams per day of vitamin C as it helps normalize nail growth. Vitamin C is important, but the preferred form of vitamin C is in the form of sodium ascorbate - it does not cause diarrhea as does ascorbic acid. Take some additional magnesium supplements as this is critical also to utilization of calcium. Our diets has too much calcium and our body simply cannot process them without silicon, magnesium, vitamin C and boron. Your nail growth should be normal by 2 or 3 months. Try not to wear tight shoes so toe nail growth can be normal.
