Remedy for Athlete’s Foot/Toenail Fungus
Dr. Hibberd’s answer to the question: What is the best remedy for athlete’s foot/toenail fungus? Ozone therapy? Colloidal silver? All topical treatments have failed. He said that Athlete’s foot is most easily treated with topical care rather than oral treatments, which has the potential for drug interactions and mild potential liver toxicity. Dr. Hibberd says that “Not all treatments are available to you without prescription. It might be best to see your doctor if you are unsure what to use, and to be sure the agents you plan on using will be effective. Most cases of athlete’s foot will respond to prescription topical treatment. An occasional case will require oral medication, also. Do not forget to have your footwear inspected, and replace the liner if necessary.” As far as toenail fungal infection, he says it is more resistant and treatment lasts over several weeks or months. Onychomycosis (toenail fungus) responds best. In the past, surgical removal of the nail and many months of anti-fungal were required. I remember my father pulling off the toenail, but the infection always came back. Without anti-fungal medication, the infection will not go away and continually return. However, the newer oral agents are far more effective and less problematic (PAINFUL) for most people.
