FUNGAL NAILS- FINALLY A REAL CURE IS HERE

 FUNGAL NAILS- FINALLY A REAL CURE IS HERE

Thick, yellow, brown, black toenails occur mainly because of a fungus or mushroom infection that grows slowly in the toenails and underneath nail bed of the toes.

People that get this infection usually do because that have a slight defect in their immune system.
The immune system does not fight fungus in this area in about 30% to 50% of humans.

Many medical treatments and over the counter treatment have been used over the years and all do not afford the patient a REAL CURE.

After 35 plus years of treating these nails myself- I have added one method to another to finally afford a real significant improvement or cure.

No one method works.  I know now that several specific methods do work.

The nails need to be reduced mechanically in the office.

The Nomir Laser, which is the only one that I have found effective, is attached to the names for 16 minutes painlessly, usually 3 times.

Topical liquids prescription medications like Jublia are always needed to prevent reocurance.

Oral Lamasil or Sporonox now is helpful, but only in small pulse dosing- NOT for 3 to 4 months straight anymore.

My podiatry specialty has become the treatment of fungal nail.  I now know, that all other treatments do not provide a cure or even a very satisfied result.

WINTER FEET- WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW

'WINTER FEET'
- WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

Extreme cold can do damage to the soft tissue of the feet.  Long periods of extreme cold can freeze and actually kill soft tissues in the foot.  Because the blood vessels are most small in the foot the blood, arteries, veins, and capillaries can actually freeze too.

If frozen for long periods of time, the soft tissues can actually die.

Frostbite and chillblaines can be the result.

Prevention is multiple pairs of thick wool socks, and waterproof shoes.

When coming inside after long periods of extreme cold, its is important to warm the foot again, but SLOWLY.  Soak them in warm, not hot water.  Keep them at inside room temperature- NOT at extreme hot.

If the feet stay painful, red, blue, black or open sores it is important to see a foot specialist ASAP. 

PREVENTION is always best.
