People can treat fungal infections of the toenail with medication, but sometimes this can cause side effects.

Nail removal. If other treatments don’t work, or you’re in a lot of pain, your doctor may want to remove the infected nail.

I want to try the magnifying glass with the sun. Does anyone know what strength magnifying glass should be?. What to do in the winter? Is there a light that can be used. ? I have tried oil of oregano, tea tree oil, vicks, and many over the counter treatments. Nothing works.

I had problems with fungus. I solved it quickly with an ointment recommended by pharmacists from my neighborhood. I hope to never repeat, it is a terrible senator.

The talk of laser treatments and sunlight/magnifying glass treatments brings to mind another device that is similar in that it uses RF frequency energy to radiate RF energy subcutaneously. It was invented over 100 years ago by Nikola Tesla and is called a “Violet Ray”. It was sold on the open market until the early 50s when the FDA outlawed it’s use because people were making outrageous claims for what it could and couldn’t do. Despite the fact it was effective for specific things they simply prohibited it’s use for anything. That’s government for you. However it remained legal outside the US and no disasters seem to have occurred. At worst it didn’t work for some ailments, perhaps in part because it was used improperly. However almost identical versions of the device are still made in the US for use by medical professionals, particularly dermatologists where it is used to remove warts, freckles and other skin discolorations. I have several antique devices and several of the devices made in England. (Using antique devices is risky as the electrical design is primitive and potentially dangerous). I have not used it for toenail fungus but in theory it should work as it is sort of an RF (radio frequency energy) variation on what lasers or even magnifying glasses do with penetrating irradiation that can disable if not outright kill living cells. I have used it on skin discolorations with some beneficial effect. Has anybody tried it on toenail fungus? Would be very interested in the result.

I had an infection under one big toe (thanks nail salon lady) the nail cracked off to about half one September and I thought “Great, thats the end of that”. I was hoping that exposure to sunlight would keep it gone but by 4 months later it was not gone. I was considering the $1000 for laser but instead I took a large magnifying glass and treated it with concentrated light almost daily for a month and a half until I could see it growing out clear. I kept it up for another 2 weeks. The fungus is GONE %100. I AM SO HAPPY. I SAVED $1000. It is definitely easier than all the other treatments I have read you guys trying.

Thanks a lot lot! Good advices! Another good remedy is the use of special zederna cedarsoles in your shoes. They prevent you from getting nail fungus.

All these commercial treatments never work. Soak
your feet in a bath of Hydrogen Peroxide, and in
a few treatments your problems will be over.
NOTHING is more effective.
OH, and be sure you take MEGA DOSES of
VITAMIN C.
