I suffer from a fungus growing under my toenails... it thickens the
nails and causes them to separate from the bed, they stay solid on the
top yet become weakened and discolored underneath.

My doctor wants to put me on a med that takes 6 months (more or less) to
be effective. My Chiropractor does not want me to risk the liver damage.
My H.M.O. will not pay for the drug because it is judged to be a
cosmetic problem.

Has anyone ever had success with anything other than dangerous and
expensive med's?

Thanks.

Yes. Use Wicks Salve, put in on thickly EVERYDAY. It works

THERE IS THE LIE!!!!!

Well, Jan, what exactly do the statements referred to
by this statement say? What is the original statement
which is a lie?

You say that there is a lie in the file "An Anatoxin-A Primer".
Let's see that lie. Post a WHOLE ORIGINAL STATEMENT
from that file which is a lie. Not the whole file, just a statement
which is a LIE.

Certainly, you know where that part is, don't you Jan?
Or do you just accuse people of being liars without
regard to whether they've lied or not.

Why don't you post this part, Jan? Then you'd prove
that I'd lied, by posting the actual lie itself, rather than
merely a statement that refers to the (alleged) lie.

Why don't you do that, Jan?

Is it because if you did, everybody would see that this statement
is OBVIOUSLY NOT A LIE?

Is it because if you did, everybody would see the Jan Drew
has FALSELY ACCUSED me of being a LIAR?

Is it because if you did, everybody would see that it is
Jan Drew who is the LIAR?

Is that it, Jan?

Is that why you won't post this LIE you claim I told?

You are a despicable human being.

If you are taking medical advice from a Chiropractor you have other
problems. As far as fungal infections go, benzoic acid is an effective
fungicide. You should be able to find over the counter products that
contain this.
If you want to go the natural route which is more expensive and not as
effective you can get benzion gum and make an alcoholic extract of that.
You might also try soaking your feet in cranberry juice. That is not likely
to work but it is "natural".
Ask your pharmacist for a product with benzoic acid or any of the many
effective fungicides.
