Toenail fungus can be a persistent and unsightly problem. This guide focuses on a natural treatment leveraging the power of probiotics and readily available ingredients to combat fungal infections effectively.
The core principle involves softening the nails, creating an environment hostile to fungus yet beneficial to healthy bacteria, and promoting deep penetration of these beneficial microorganisms to eradicate the infection and prevent recurrence.
**Essential Ingredients:**
* Acidophilus Sachets: Containing a potent strain of at least 125 billion organisms.
* Guinness Stout (or similar dark beer): Guinness has demonstrated effectiveness.
* White Vinegar
* Basin: Large enough for soaking feet or hands.
* Time, Persistence, and Consistency
**Step-by-Step Treatment Procedure:**
1. Pour 1 liter of room-temperature dark beer into the basin.
2. Add half a sachet (approximately 60 billion acidophilus organisms).
3. Add 1 liter of white vinegar.
4. Soak clean feet in the solution for 30 minutes daily, preferably before bed.
5. After soaking, gently file down the nails with a pumice stone or nail file.
6. Refresh the solution every third day. Use 1 liter of white vinegar, 1 liter of dark beer, and the remaining half of the acidophilus sachet. This ensures the ingredients remain active. Stale solutions will be less effective.
7. Repeat this process daily for 30 days. Consistency is crucial for optimal results.
8. For accelerated results, consider soaking twice daily.
**What to Expect:**
As the treatment takes effect, you should observe new, clear nail growth emerging from the base. The speed at which clearing occurs varies, with some noticing improvements within a week, while others may take a month. Nail growth rate and soaking frequency influence the timeline.
Incorporate this treatment into your daily routine. Make it a relaxing experience by watching television, reading, or engaging in other calming activities during the 30-minute soak.
To encourage faster nail growth, consider supplementing with MSM or Silicea 6x cell salts.
This natural protocol presents a liver-friendly alternative to medications like Lamisil.
While the estimated cost of this treatment is around $200, it’s significantly less expensive and safer than prescription alternatives.
Many users have reported positive outcomes with this treatment. Some individuals have even experienced unexpected benefits, such as the resolution of plantar warts.
Toenail fungus often stems from a weakened immune system, nail trauma, a diet high in refined carbohydrates, or antibiotic use. Supplementing with one acidophilus sachet in water before dinner for 14 days can aid in restoring healthy gut bacteria, strengthening immune function, combating fungus internally and externally, and reducing cravings for refined sugars.
**Important Considerations:**
The acidophilus sachets mentioned earlier can be found in the resource box along with MSM and Silicea cell salts.
Possible side effects of taking the sachets internally include a mild headache during the die-off of unhealthy bacteria. This can be mitigated by taking Vitamin C.
This safe, effective, and affordable treatment requires commitment, but the reward of healthy nails is well worth the effort.
