Nail Fungal Infections: A Guide to Prevention and TreatmentWritten by Dana Lawrence
Continued from page 1
Treatment Options Nail fungus infections have been notoriously difficult to treat, and it takes time for new, healthy nail to emerge. It is important to be patient and stay with course of treatment you have chosen, to let it run its full course. Toenails can take between twelve to eighteen months to grow out, while fingernails normally grow out in about five and a half months. Also remember that damaged nails are more susceptible to reinfection, so try to avoid further injuring nails during treatment period. The older you are, slower your nails grow. Prescription oral antifungals, such as Terbinafine (Lamisil), Itraconazole (Sporanox) and Griseofulvin (Fulvacin, Grinactin). Though rate of effectiveness is reported to be high, be aware that use of systemic antifungals carries with it risk of potentially serious side effects, including liver damage. Elderly individuals and those with conditions such as diabetics or compromised immune systems are not good candidates for this course of treatment. Cost ranges from $350. - $700. Further information on these antifungals may be obtained at www.us.janssen.com (Sporanox); www.pharma.us.novartis.com (Lamisil) and www.doctorfungus.org hedrugs/Griseofulvin.htm. Penlac Nail Lacquer (ciclopirox 8%) is a topically applied lacquer available through a prescribing physician. Though without side effects associated with systemic antifungals, clinical trials of Penlac indicate its effectiveness is much lower. Further information may be obtained at www.dermik.com/prod/penlac/penlac.html. NonyX Nail Gel is an all natural, non-prescription topical gel, which takes an exfoliating approach to problem. NonyX Gel penetrates nail and removes keratin debris - food supply of fungus. NonyX is a less expensive alternative, and manufacturer's website indicates a podiatrist-conducted study achieved good results. Further information may be obtained at www.xenna.com. A final note: It is important not to let a fungal nail infection go untreated, because nail fungus will not resolve on its own and condition will only become worse if ignored. See your podiatrist or physician who may wish to perform lab tests to be certain that you have nail fungus instead of another nail or skin condition, such as psoriasis.

The researchers testing this microcurrent technology found it was extremely powerful because of two direct effects on body. First microcurrents completely disabled or destroyed all harmful pathogens in body (including all viruses, bacteria, and fungi) at same time, leaving beneficial enzymes, bacteria, etc. intact and healthy. Second : long term benefits were a completely restored immune system. When all viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites were cleared from patient's bodies, their immune systems magically started to function at full strength again. The best part of story is that nine years ago, a treatment protocol was developed that was safe, inexpensive, and effective at treating cancer (and for that matter, most other diseases). This treatment IS a reality NOW! Not in future but NOW! You can do research yourself and prove this. Not only is this protocol safe and effective, it can also be used to easily treat yourself in privacy of your own home! Are you finding this hard to believe? That is real crux of problem. For over one hundred years, generation after generation, has been led down golden path of teaching that we CANNOT and SHOULD NOT take responsibility for our own health. The medical establishment has cleverly taught us that they are ONLY ones who can diagnose and treat disease. We have been conditioned to believe that medical establishment has ALL answers for proper treatment. However, reality is FAR different. The reality is that most people in medical establishment simply don't know that easy, safe, non-invasive, inexpensive, and in-home methods even exist. The governing bodies (American Medical Association, Food and Drug Administration, National Cancer Institute, etc.) know these methods exist. If fact if you research this yourself, (which is easy to do) you can prove there is a long history of cover-ups and suppression dating back over one hundred years. So why cover up such a simple and effective method that saves millions of lives while at same time improving quality of those lives? The answer, of course, is MONEY! Cancer by itself is a multi-billion dollar per year industry. Did you know that average cost of conventional cancer treatment is $250,000-$750,000? Can you imagine how much money is at stake if we threw most every other disease into mix? The amount involved is astronomical! That my friends, is very foundation of this problem. GREED! What a sad state of affairs. There is a simple solution to this dilemma, though. Do research, learn truth about this and take charge of your OWN health! Then let others know truth.
