let’s talk about how to get rid of

toenail fungus okay pretty

straightforward there’s two main

ingredients to this formula but more

importantly we want to ask questions

like why do certain people get toenail

fungus yet other people never get it why

is it so common in diabetics in fact in

one study 77 out of 152 diabetics

had this condition why is it so common

with people with Cushing syndrome that’s

a condition where you have high levels

of cortisol you’re really stressed out

and why are you at risk for getting this

condition if you have your spleen

removed so these are all questions we

need to ask and the reason I’m doing

this video is I really want you to start

to change the way you look at your body

change the way you look at symptoms look

at symptoms as the indicator light on

your car your engine light right you

wouldn’t just disconnect the wire right

you would try to find out and diagnose

what’s really underneath

the hood unfortunately in medicine uh

they don’t do that it’s all about just

treating the symptom and with medication

that has side effects of course we want

to treat the symptom with natural things

but we also want to find the cause so

let’s talk about this like why would

your body develop this white yellow uh

black crusty toenail that is breaking

off your nail bed I mean that’s just

weird it’s a condition where it’s

resistant to medical treatment okay

either the topical treatment doesn’t

work because it doesn’t penetrate the

nail or the systemic treatment maybe

will work temporarily but it comes right

back and it gives you side effects in

the process just as a side note I talked

to someone recently who had some foot

pain and they go to the doctor and the

way they doctor treated it is to give

them

steroid not localized injected into the

foot but an oral steroid prednisone

which is going to be systemic it’s going

to go through the entire body to get rid

of her foot pain my thought is like

what’s going to happen a few days it’s

going to wear off it’s going to come

right back and then what you take

another one and then another one and

then all of a sudden all the problems

that come with it I mean it’s just

it’s just bizarre but with toenail

fungus just in America there’s like 35

million people who have this and in the

western part of the world it’s more of a

fungus in the tropical regions it’s more

of a mold because it’s more moisture and

it’s more humid so how do we figure this

out well first thing is okay we have

this fungus right what is going on with

fungus in the nail well we can relate it

to other things where we have an

overgrowth of fungus or candida or a

yeast infection in other parts of her

body like whether it’s the groin or even

the mouth or on your skin you see a lot

of people get an overgrowth of candida

or Yeast after an antibiotic because the

normal bacteria in their body keep this

fungus in check okay so there’s always

this balance you know that you have

friendly bacteria in your gut and you

know you have friendly bacteria on your

skin but did you know you also have

friendly fungus on your skin as well and

in inside your body you have friendly

candida and you have friendly yeast it’s

not just about bacteria the friendly

fungus is called microbiota microbiota

describes the different funguses that

live on and inside your body that can

help you unless the environment changes

they get stressed and some of them turn

pathogenic so a big part of this has to

do with this battle between your own

immune system which by the way

is your friendly microbes it’s also your

friendly fungus that’s part of your

immune system it’s not a separate thing

and this is why when you lose your

immune system with like HIV for example

or you had your spleen removed

or you had this high level of cortisol

and Cushing syndrome what happens when

you have high cortisol you literally put

your immune system into a state of sleep

you paralyze your immune system so

cortisol is a steroid which basically

gets rid of inflammation and it gets rid

of symptoms from autoimmune diseases it

calms an over-reactive immune system

because it suppresses the white blood

cell well in the process it gets rid of

your defense mechanism against pathogens

so if you have this chronic elevation of

cortisol as in Cushing syndrome you’re

more at risk for getting all sorts of

problems like toenail fungus like

autoimmune problems and in regard to

diabetes let’s talk about that for a

second

what is diabetes it’s a situation where

you have high levels of sugar what does

fungus yeast mold love to eat that’s

sugar even in the soils with the plants

the plant actually gives that fungus

carbohydrates and then the fungus gives

the plant root minerals so it exchanges

a carbohydrate or minerals so fungus

love sugar and of course the cortisol

with the stress that’s another thing in

fact there’s one study that I read that

when a person started to balance out

their cortisol levels

tonal fungus went away which is

interesting and then what’s unique about

the HIV is that that is a condition

where you basically lose your entire

immune system so all sorts of things can

happen anytime you want to strengthen

your immune system there’s four things

to do number one start increasing your

vitamin D levels okay number two vitamin

C a natural form of vitamin C and then

three zinc

very important and number four fasting

okay start doing regular intermittent

fasting and periodic prolonged fasting

that will strengthen your immune system

so I just wanted to get that out I

wanted to talk about some of the things

that are underneath the hood of your

body so you can start to maybe work with

those things let’s get right to the

remedy there’s just two things to focus

primarily on number one is Epsom salts

and number two is iodine so with epsom

salts you just take two tablespoons mix

it with you know three or four cups of

water where it’s really hot dissolve it

completely and then you’re going to soak

your foot in that solution for about 15

minutes okay once a day and what’s going

to happen it’s going to start to kill

off the fungus the cool thing is you

won’t develop resistant to it like

medication then it won’t give you any

side effects okay so that’s number one

and number two you’ll just take a drop

of iodine and the type of iodine I’m

going to recommend is either decolorized

iodine okay so it doesn’t leave a yellow

stain or the pobedome iodine just one or

two drops right on the toenail and let

that seep in let it dry and do that

before you go to bed and that will

actually penetrate because you just

soften the nail from the Epsom salts so

right after that you put the drop on Let

It soak in and iodine is a potent

antimicrobial okay without the side

effects so those are the two things to

do but there’s other things you can also

add that can help tea tree oil is

anti-fungal

oregano oil is anti-fungal clove oil is

anti-fungal and lavender the essential

oil is a very potent

anti-microbial and anti-fungal lavender

smells beautiful but microbes hate it so

you could add really any one of those to

help speed the process up if you wanted

now since we’re on the topic of Remedies

there’s a really interesting video that

sort of relates this video but it’s a

little different it’s how to get rid of

skin tags you should check that one out
