onychomycosis

Now this is the hardy annual, so let's get to it again.

Could you comment on the treatment of toenail fungus and the use of laser for that?

Yes, so...

It's very hard to treat the toenail fungus once it gets set underneath the toenails.

It's hard to get through there.

The laser works by penetrating through the nail plate and then damaging the fungal cells to get new cells to grow.

What propels you? Propel with Gatorade electrolytes.

Why your toenail fungus keeps coming back, and the two dollar cure that actually works.

The trauma is really the key.

And I'm gonna come back to this in a minute, and I'm also gonna go through actually quite a few different remedies that people use, and talk about each one of them briefly.

And then I'm gonna reveal the last remedy that is going to work the best, okay? And it's really inexpensive.

But I wanna mention three confusions that a lot of people have.

Number one, does toenail fungus actually live on sugar? And the answer is no, it does not.

Okay? Now, candida does, but the actual microbe that's involved in toenail fungus, which is named T rubrum, does not consume sugar as its fuel.

Well, it, when the toenail fell off, it grew back, and it, a lot of it went away, so there's still a little bit there.

But the medicine you take for toenail fungus could destroy your ki- your kidney.

It's very str- bad.

I think it's your kidney or your liver.

... before we saw this lady, and this, this was a very, a long time ago.

But she presented to our office with, her complaint was a toenail fungus.

Mm-hmm.

And so I go in.

Now, very often in the clinic, when people come in with toenail fungus, it can be a, a hard conversation 'cause we don't have very many good options.

We have oral medications, but we have to be careful about hurting their liver and all these things.

So I was kind of preparing myself for that conversation, and then when I go in, she's telling me she's been on all these medications.

And it wa- it didn't look like anything I'd ever seen before, so we decided to do a biopsy, and it ended up being melanoma.
