#1 Absolute Best Toenail Fungus Cure

Hello Health Champions. Today we're going to talk  about how to really cure toenail fungus and how long it's going to take and by the end of this  video you will understand how to handle the root cause of toenail fungus so that it goes away  and stays gone. Toenail fungus is super common it's like 10 percent of the population so tens of  millions of people at any given time have this and for most it's going to just be ugly and unsightly  and maybe an inconvenience or an embarrassment but we have to understand that if it's untreated  if we don't address it properly it could lead to complications we could get infections that  might start in the toe and then maybe spread to the foot or even further up the leg but even if  it's just an ugly inconvenience we have to ask ourselves what does this mean does this indicates  something and there's a question I often ask my patients they come in with an issue and I ask do  you think that your issue means that everything is working perfectly or is there something that isn't  working right and when I ask the question that way I always get the same answer my problem is because  there's something that isn't working right and then I ask do you think we should fix the thing  that isn't working or should we do something else and again the answer is obvious we need to fix  the thing that isn't working we need to address the root cause so I've noticed something that  if things are too simple people don't get it they think if it's too simple then they gloss over  it and they think I already know that and they miss it all together and in our current Healthcare  System we go to a doctor because we have a symptom and then they're going to give us some sort of  treatment for that symptom and if we remember though that the symptom happened because something  wasn't working now we have to ask ourselves is this treatment going to make that thing work again  is it going to do anything to restore the function or is it only going to treat the symptom with some  kind of blocking or interference and unfortunately 99.

9 percent of the time the treatment is not  going to have anything to do with what's not working but if we remember that there is a root  cause that there is something missing or something interfering and we start asking ourselves the  right questions and now we realized that it was the root cause that interfered that kept something  from working causing the symptom and now we can deal with the root cause instead and I know this  is so simple that if it was just a little more complicated people would pay attention and  get it but it's a complete mystery in our Health Care field in our mainstream way of dealing  with this because it is totally unknown we often hear that microbes cause disease but we have to  understand that these microbes are absolutely everywhere there's virus there's bacteria there's  yeast and mold and fungus and these are just a few of the classifications but they're everywhere and  we know that we have them inside of us as part of our biome but it's not just a biome inside we  also have a biome on the outside we have biome on the skin and every nook and cranny of the body  and it's supposed to be there and when it comes to toenail fungus then it's mostly these three  the yeast mold and the fungus and a particular one called the dermatophyte which is a fungus  that needs keratin that we have It's A protein that we have in hair nail and skin to thrive  but we have to understand that these pathogens are normal that they do not cause the problem  they take advantage of the problem and the real problem is that there's an imbalance there's  something that is upsetting the normal balance in the body and if these microbes are everywhere  which they are then why don't we all have fungus on our fingernails and our tone nails and  everywhere on our hair and skin and Nails all the time who gets the overgrowth what cases  what scenarios does it get out of balance and the simple answer is that if you get the toenail  fungus it is because you are too attractive and before you get too excited about  that and your next date I want to qualify that answer a little bit and let you  know that you are too attractive to the pathogens to the pathogenic bacteria it's not about being  attractive to other humans obviously that's still okay but if you understand that it's about you  creating an opportunity for these opportunistic organisms then the solution becomes to become less  attractive and to do that we need to understand what they like so fungus loves dark and moist and  warm they love protection and they love to be left alone obviously if they're going to grow they  need certain conditions that would allow that and then they want us to leave them alone and the  number one thing they want to be left alone from is your immune system so you have a normal defense  you have white blood cells you have fake ego sites you have a little Pac-Man that can travel around  and Gobble up these Invaders and keep everything in check but in order for this immune system to  get to where it needs to go and your toe is as far away from the rest of the body as you can get  you need a circulatory system and the further away from the heart you go the harder it is the more  limited the blood supply is going to be and then these pathogens also love to get fed they need to  have an energy source and since they're living in you or on you that energy source has to come from  you and more than anything they love sugar they don't do real well with other types of fuels which  we'll talk a little bit more about they love sugar and that goes for pretty much anything that you  don't want in your body whether it's a pathogen or cancer or a parasite they all love sugar and this  also explains why we get more of the fungus in our toes than we do on the hands because the nails  are very similar in both places but on the toes it's further away so the circulation is worse and  also because our hands are mostly out in the open and our toes are mostly enclosed in a dark moist  environment and then we need to be patient and understand that this takes some time and there's  many reasons for that first of all you cannot heal a nail it's like hair it doesn't heal you gotta  get rid of the old and put in a new one so that existing nail that's cracked and ugly it's gone  so first of all you have to become less attractive you have to change your lifestyle and change the  conditions for that nail fungus and then once you've done that might which might take a while  now you start growing a new nail and depending on where it is and how healthy you are that could  take quite some time if we're talking about the hands they grow a whole lot faster the nail could  grow from beginning to end in about three to six months whereas on the feet it's going to take  a lot longer and that range of 6 to 18 months is pretty wide because this is influenced by how  old you are the older you are the less likely you are to grow things fast it also depends on your  health and your circulation and your nutritional status how quickly are you going to be able to  get nutrient down to that place to grow a new one and once you change your lifestyle a little bit to  become less attractive to these pathogens now you also want to be consistent with that because if  you keep having relapses and becoming attractive then chances are you're not going to complete  the process and these guys are going to come back first of all we want to lower blood glucose  levels if they are high because these guys love sugar and they're not feeding directly off the  sugar that you're eating they're feeding off your bloodstream it's the blood sugar that is being  delivered to all the tissues that's what they live off of and they love sugar they don't really  care for protein teen they don't really care for fat and why is this because the more primitive an  organism is and these guys are really primitive they're single cell organisms they're not going  to have an extensive enzyme system they're not going to be able to break down a wide variety of  foods so all these primitive organisms they rely on energy from glycolysis they break down sugar  basically next you want to trim your nails and keep them nice and short because if they're long  then there tends to be this space underneath where you get all kinds of dirt and debris and Gunk  get trapped and remember that these fungus they love protection they love dark they love moisture  and this Gunk here will hold moisture and provide a perfect environment for that fungus to thrive so  if you look at it from the top then make sure that you trim it and that you trim it relatively short  and that you keep it kind of straight also if you get too much into the corner you tend to get  ingrown toenails so now you get more infections and more problems so nice and trimmed and then for  the same reasons it can be a good idea to brush your nails so once you're done with a toothbrush  then you take your old toothbrush put it in the shower and when you're done you brush underneath  here and and help clear out some of that debris and then you want to also dry your nails so after  the shower be a little extra careful either with a towel or with maybe a paper tissue to really  get up underneath that edge or you could take one extra step and even blow dry your nails so they  get really nice and dry and part of the problem is that we wear shoes all the time these days  and the fungus loves dark and moist so wear the shoes when you have to but when you don't have to  try to get several hours a day where you go bare feet and since they like the darkness that means  they really really don't like the light especially sunlight especially UV light so try to go barefoot  outdoors and get some sun exposure and you could even if you have a solar lamp like a UV light  then you could do a few minutes of that as well and all UV light is known to be detrimental to all  pathogens basically there's no pathogen that likes UV light and then in order to really heal this  and to build a new nail we need circulation to deliver nutrients and blood and oxygen and all the  things that we need to create new tissue and one of the best ways to jump start your circulation is  called aerobic exercise so if you have a sitting resting heart rate or maybe 60 and you're walking  and it's up to 110 120 that means you've doubled your heart rate when you're walking so it doesn't  have to be extremely strenuous to improve that circulation and furthermore when you're walking  at that level you probably double your heart's stroke volume how much blood it pumps with each  heartbeat so from sitting to walking you probably increase four-fold that circulation and if you  keep it up for more than 20 minutes now you're going to notice how your hands and your feet  get really warm that means that every peripheral capillary every tiny little blood vessel in the  very distal part of your body has opened up and gets that nice blood flowing through it another  thing you he can do that is even more profound is called breathing exercises and meditation and  again most people miss this whole concept because it is too simple it doesn't seem like it would be  that profound so basically everything in your body has to do with resources everything that happens  depends on a resource and these resources have to be allocated so you have something called your  autonomic nervous system and that is the part of the nervous system of your brain that you're  not aware of that handles everything behind the scenes your heartbeat your breathing growing  fingernails growing eyelashes blinking you name it your on and on nervous system is dealing with  it and allocating these resources on a need basis but how does it deter determine what you need  and this is the two branches of the autonomic nervous system called the sympathetic  or the parasympathetic nervous system sympathetic is your fight flight that is your  stress so whenever you're stressed you're going to increase the sympathetic activation and  whenever you are relaxed you're going to activate the parasympathetic which is your feed breed  portion so these two branches the sympathetic and the parasympathetic they operate opposite  each other it's like a seesaw and whenever one increases the other one decreases so when you have  stress you increase your sympathetics you will always decrease your parasympathetic to the same  degree and your parasympathetic is responsible for digestion and immune system and growing new tissue  and procreation like having babies getting an erection and so forth and even DNA repair so  parasympathetic handles long-term survival sympathetic handles immediate survival getting  away from the threat that is in front of you right now so sympathetic always come comes first  because if you don't survive the threat in front of you then there is nothing to survive  tomorrow but the parasympathetic is more important in the sense long term so when you  do breathing exercises and meditation you're allowing a relaxation response you're reducing  the stress and you're allowing this seesaw to Come Back in Balance so how does this now relate  to toenail fungus well when we have a sympathetic response a stress response we increase blood  pressure and we constrict blood vessels and this is especially devastating for the  periphery because that's where we can strict the most that's where we squeeze the blood vessels  to pull the blood in toward the core and the opposite then would be what the parasympathetic  does the opposite of constrict is dilate and in this particular scenario dilate is not a strategy  to live longer dilate means to widen the blood vessels to let more blood through and it is  very well known and documented that if you do some breathing exercises you can increase the  temperature in your hands and feet you sit down and you breathe five seconds in five seconds out  for five to ten minutes and your hands and feet will warm up because of vasodilation because you  increase the surface circulation but it doesn't even stop there because if you remember I said  that the parasympathetic also handles your immune function so in order for you to have a strong  immune system you need to lower the stress levels you need to bring that seesaw into balance and now  from Simply breathing and meditating you have more blood flow and you have a better immune system  and then there's a few more things that you can do and interestingly these last few things that I'm  going to mention those are basically the entire program for most people if you check out a lot of  videos or a lot of Articles they're going to only focus on the things that you can do to the nail  on the site they don't cover your immune system or your circulation or your blood sugar status  and those are the most important long term but these last few can still be helpful so you can  soak your feet you can use Epsom salts or apple cider vinegar and I'm sure there's a lot more  ideas out there and you just have helping kind of soften it up and have some kind of chemical  or compound that this fungus doesn't really like there's also different herbal compounds like tea  tree oil is pretty aggressive on fungus you can use garlic or oregano oil that is pretty harsh  pretty strongly anti-fungal antibacterial and you can also use homeopathics I use quite a bit of  homeopathics in my office and I know that you can get them as pills or liquids but I really prefer  liquids because then you have the choice of doing ingestion or topical or both and one interesting  example I just remember is I had this itch on my pubic bone and it was like a little rash and it  would itch for a minute after taking a shower and then I've forgot about it so I never got a check  down and then finally I remembered to get checked by one of my associates in the office and we found  that it was related to metals and chemicals at I thought maybe this is some kind of fungus or  parasite or something but turned out to be metal and chemical so I got two liquids homeopathics  for metal and chemical and I put it on and after having had this for three to four months in  one day I couldn't even find the thing anymore there was no witch it was gone so don't discount  homeopathics either but the trick of course is finding the right one which can be tricky and in  the medical Paradigm they also do some surgeries and medications and there's the time and place for  everything especially if you're a type 2 diabetic and your extremities are in really really poor  health pretty much when things are too far gone then you you want to go to more Extreme Measures  and one thing they can do if that toe nail is in really really bad shape then they can just  remove it surgically and you kind of start over and hopefully have a better situation to regrow a  nail and then there is also medication and one of the most common one is called Lamisil and if you  go as far as to try this route I would suggest that you start it topical you could buy this  as a cream and I don't know if it's any better than tea tree oil or anything else but start  topically to try this if you go in the internal that's really to me like a last resort because  now you're getting into some pretty heavy side effects and this internal Lamisil is really really  harsh on your liver typically they'll prescribe a course for several months and your liver enzymes  could very well change during this time period so if you're in a place where you feel you have to  get on that then make sure to check your liver enzymes throughout.
