TED'S REMEDIES READER FEEDBACK

That night, I went home, soaked my toe in the recommended Clorox and water mixture in a big bowl, then proceeded to do the ACV and Peroxide mixture in a bowl as well. Then I mixed an equal amount of ACV and Peroxide in a small squirt bottle. Every night & a.m. I soaked a cotton ball with the mix and put it on my big toe and let it sit on the nail at least 5 minutes in the morning and about half an hour at night when I had more time. I have been doing this since July and saw results within 3 weeks- it is now November. Well, the results are pretty amazing so far. Most of the bad nail is grown out, the new nail is pink and healthy- NO trace of that "off color" or little dark spots which means the fungus is still there. I was going to wait until the entire nail is grown in before I wrote in , but so far, the toenail looks great and the nail is almost to the top. It's really pretty incredible ! As the nail grows, I trim the old infected part very close. I only used the Clorox and water that one time when I first started the treatment - I wasn't clear about Ted's instruction on this. The morning & night application of ACV and Peroxide I did for a few weeks. Once I could see how much better the nail was, I just did it at night. I let the cotton ball sit on the nail for about a half hour when I was just relaxing. Now I do it every couple of nights when I think about it. I'm pretty sure that the fungus is gone !! I hesitate to write that since I've suffered with it for so long, but seeing is believing ! One thing Ted was not clear on was how long to do this treatment of ACV and peroxide so I just keep doing it for now ! Ted, would you like to clarify the length of treatment time for both the Clorox and then the ACV and peroxide ? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SIMPLE CURE ! I found this website by accident due to frustration and it's great ! I have been telling people about it now. Haven't called that foot doctor yet. I want to tell him thanks for NOTHING- I cured my toenail fungus without him ! DO THIS TREATMENT ! IT WORKS"

I've done this for 4 weeks and my ugly nail is now looking 80% better I can't believe the difference. I'll keep doing it until the new nail grows in. I did hear that soaking it in diluted bleach for a few minutes helps also. I may try that with this treatment. Thanks"

My smaller four toes began to clear up completely and the big toes showed big improvement. My big toe nails were more stubborn to clear up. Then in summer of 2006 I started to soak my feet in white vinegar and peroxide for 20 to thirty minutes a day. Wow, my big toes are almost all cleared up! Once they are done then the fungus will have been defeated! But do not let your guard down. Continue with the applications and the foot soakings on not as often. I spray the inside of my shoes with Hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle and then I spray my toes during the day. The fungus has not returned to my smaller four toes. You must STARVE the fungus you have living inside your body, then you must take the anti fungals to ATTACK the fungus living in your body, then finally you must ATTACK the fungus externally with what I described above. It is working for me. I hope it works for you. The science behind this says it will from my research. Best of luck to you and best wishes. Warmest Regards"

[YEA]  06/24/2006: Andrew from Long Beach, CA writes: "I have continued to try Ted's method, but instead of soaking my feet using ACV, I switched putting only two drops on each toe of White Distilled Vinegar and H2O2. White Distilled Vinegar appears much better for external use and more effective as it also has the same PH as ACV. After laying off for a few months, I started again at the beginning of this month. Since that time, I see some progress. The base of the aflicted toenails are beginning to look pink and health. It is a small amount, but shows some progress from a month ago. I'm also seeing the top of the nail look much cleaner as it looks clear. The brighr brownish yellow color originally there has lightened and looks whiter in with vertical or diagonal ridges becoming more visable. Although I have not precisely used Ted's method and modified it, by switching to WDV and using drops rather than soaking, I found the method appears to be working. I also think Clorox does a great job in helping. Because my toe nails had been yellow for a few years, I think my toenails will take longer to cure and my nails will have to grow out which may take 3-4 months."

Encouraged by these results I went and got a proper basin I have size 16 feet US that about 52 european bought a few liters of h202 and acv and soaked my feet coincidence or luck I started watching a movie and forget about my feet I must have had my feet completely submerged for 21/2 hours. When the movie was over I remember about my feet and felt them under the solution a paste had somewhat developed I took a pumice stone and scrubbed this paste of gently what emerged was a brand new foot no skin fungus everything was smooth. I trimmed my toe nails half of my big toe nails came off leaving something that felt lie another very thin nail in place the nails where also have the the thickness they had. I continued soaking for two more days. At night before going to bed I would use nizoral on my skin on the entire foot all the the way to my calves and put tree tee oil on the nails. I went looking for copper chloride and could not find any instead I was able to get a small flask of permanganate of potassium and painted my nails with pdp in the morning. I wore sandals for the first week. I am now using vicks and tree tee oil specially before putting on socks. Here is something else I noticed I lost nearly ten pounds a week later and my eating habits have changed I do not know if this is psychological or my body was stocking up to fight the fungus. This is something worth investigating!"

The top of my nail is about a 1/16" cut back too far, but the toenail is of normal thickness. The nail itself however, because it is far back is high off the nail bed. It is also high enough out so I can slip a thin brush with Tea tree oil in. In about one or weeks my nail should grow long enough to where I will cut it at full length. My hope is I can have more of the bottom part of the nail grow clearer. My feeling is, if the entire part of the nail that touches the skin clear is beginning to clear up, it maybe a good sign the rest of the nail will eventually follow. I will keep trying Teds methods and accept any suggestions he provides."

[NAY]  01/22/2006: Andrew from Long Beach, CA writes: "I had fungus for about a year. When I started using Ted's method 6 weeks ago, I had one toenail that was yellow for about 3/4 of the nail. I also tried Ted's method. Initially it appeared the method worked as the Toe nail grew out 1/2 of the nail looked good. But after a while the yellow re-appeared and yellow has gone down to the same level without any change in my application. I am going to keep trying for a little longer, as I'm beginning to take Niacin and garlic to help with possible fungus in my blood. Unless there is testimony otherwise, I have my doubts about the possibility that the yellow in toe nails can come off in a few days under the best circumstances. I'm wondering if by increasing the concentration of clorox, this may help. So far I say Ted's methods are not working for me."

TRIM BACK NAILS, THEN APPLY FRESH GARLIC AND SALT

URINE THERAPY

VICKS

[YEA]  05/15/2008: Mary (AVERYRMSBat/xtra.co.nz) from Paeroa, New Zealand writes: "I had suffered from fungal nail infections on my toes for about 10 years. They were very unsightly. I was given allsorts of treatment from the doctors and told it would take many months to cure if at all. I remebered one day of being told vicks vapour rub( this is usually rub into the chest for colds), is good for fungal nail infections. Every night after my shower I was rubbing the vicks into my ugly unsightly toe nails, also covered them with plasters to keep it in contact with the nail. After doing this for about two weeks I could see the nail begining to grow normally from the base, very healthy and a nice pink colour. The new nails seemed too grow quickly, I kept up with the vicks vapour rub with out the plasters until it had all grown out 5-6 weeks. I no longer hide my feet in shoes. I am happy to wear open toed sandles. I do hope this is useful to someone else."

[YEA]  03/23/2008: Harry from St John, Indiana writes: "About five years ago I took Lamisil to get rid of my toe nail fungus... At $10 a pill a day for 90 days $900 total!!! At first it looked like it was going to work - the nail was messed up about half way back and the Lamisil helped a little - maybe a 3/4 of the nail cleared up but after two years it was right back as bad as ever. I was at the poditrist for something else and I mentioned trying and failing with the Lamisil. Hes told me about Vicks and I verified it on the internet. Vicks vapor rub works!!! I didn't even use Vicks but a Walgreens storebrand. It WORKED!!!! After a year of applying vapor rub maybe twice a week the toe nail has grown out and is as clear as could be."

Unfortunately, not only did it NOT remove the fungus, it actually seemed to help it to spread, as before this treatment, the fungus was confined to the sole of the foot and to the space between the two outermost toes. After a couple of weeks of applying the VCO twice daily, the fungus had spread upwards along the side of the foot, where it had never been before. Combining a variety of anti-fungal agents, as Robert advises, certainly seems wiser than only using one or two, as in my case. (BTW, I was applying the VCO by manually rubbing it in; could this method of application have coontributed to my unfortunate result?)"

There are articles and books that claim that some cancers are caused by fungus. If this is true, taking action on fungus early may be very beneficial in the long run. It's time we gave fungus a deeper analysis."

[NAY]  01/13/2008: Don from Lakeland, FL writes: "Vicks on finernail fungus. About a year ago I shoved a wooden splinter up my left index finger, about 1/2 way down. It never healed and my wife thought I had a fungus under it. I read that Vicks would cure this. Here's what I did, which didn't work!! I bought finger cots, put Vicks in it and rolled it onto the index finger every night for the last couple of months. It didn't change anything with respect to the nail growth or fungus removal. I'm going to try your vinegar/hydro peroxide treatment. I clipped my nail 1/2 way down, getting rid of most all of the fungus part of the nail."

Apply twice a day to nails and feet. I've suffered from this vexing problem for 40 years, as did my mother and grandmother. It works."

[YEA]  01/03/2008: Joel from Flemington, NJ writes: "First..I don't work for Vicks. It works wonders for nail fungus. I have tried many things for several years. I won't use Lamisil internally as has been prescribed because it can cause liver damage..rather have ugly toes...using Vicks every morning before putting on my socks..2 weeks and my nails are clearing up and no longer itch...this works."

[YEA]  05/16/2007: Michael S from Gastonia, NC writes: "I went to my doctor to finally get my toes taken care of. i have had what he calls "minor" toenail fungus for maybe 15 years. All the prescription meds give you a list of side effects (particularly "sexual side effects") that makes me rather have bad toenail. To my complete surprise my doctor suggested vics vapor rub. He said it has actually worked for a number of his patients. VERY wierd so I am starting it the last couple of days."

[YEA]  05/10/2007: kbird from philadelphia, pa writes: "I have had nail fungus for 12 years now and I wanted to take the perscription meds but my doctor said the side effects were too harsh and it doesn't always work - try bleach, well bleach wasn't easy to do so I went on-line last year and found out people said vick's works I started putting it on in the morning and at night last sept it is now may and the nail fungus is almost gone they are rock hard anymore, I don't get ingrown toenails, they are clear - excpet part of the original infected nail, they are not mishaped and they aren't thick. It takes a long time but if you stick with it it works - they look so good I were flip flops and you wouldn't even notice unless you looked closly at the corner of the one nail. I do not work for vicks - I work for a weight loss company"

[YEA]  04/05/2007: Marla from Cleveland, Ohio writes: "I have learned a lot from this site-so I thought I should give feedback regarding a success; and no-I don't worl for the company that owns Vicks. I tried many things to get rid of this toenail fungus,yellowing 2 toenails on each foot. I first cut them down, dabbed hydro-peroxide on them--then applied Vicks- I see results after 4 days! Color coming back to normal and good improvement. Thanks for this forum."

[YEA]  03/17/2007: Lily from San Jose, CA writes: "I heard about putting Vicks as a remedy for nail fugus, and it didnt really like bleach them, but it made the nail that grew come out normal, not black. I swear, put once summer came and i started wearing my flip flops, i had to paint my toes so i stopped, then winter came. I took off the polish and they were black again, so you have to be consistent. it really does work, though. just keep it up."

[YEA]  12/27/2006: Jim from Westville, IL writes: "I've had brittle yellow nails for as long as I can remember. I went to the doctor to try to get the toenail fungus medicine but it was way to expensive and my insurance wouldn't cover it so the doctor told me to start putting vicks vapor rub on a cotton ball and place it on the toenails wrap something around the toe to keep the cotton ball in place like a piece of tape or a bandaid and just put your sock on and go to bed. Do this every night for a year and you will have new toenails. You will start seeing a difference but don't stop this because the fungus will come back. You need to complete the whole 12 months I just added it to my nightly routine after my shower. My toes are cured."

[YEA]  12/09/2006: Bliss from Patterson, LA writes: "OMG! My husband had the worst toenails I have EVER seen. He started applying ACV with a toothbrush after his bath and then rubbed Vapor Rub on his toenails. Within two days I have noticed a MAJOR difference. Two of his two nails are already white. The others use to be brown and flaky. It's been about a week, and they are now yellow and not flaky at all. THIS REALLY WORKS."

[YEA]  12/04/2006: John from Palm Bay, FL writes: "I had two toenails with fungus and i read that Vicks Vapor Rub could possibly cure it. I first cleaned up the infected toenails by cutting them as far back as i could followed by twice/day application of Vapor Rub. I am now into the third month and the fungus is gone. After about two years of dealing with it; the nails are growing back and look healthy. This treatment is cheap and effective and you just can't go wrong. The worst thing that could happen is you have minty smelling toes. I think the combination of thymol, menthol and other essential oils is quite effective as an anti-fungal agent. One needs to be vigilant with this treatment, however. Twice a day is necessary to keep the toenail fully dosed and one must also be patient. At least six weeks are necessary to see real improvement but consistent treatment will be rewarded with the ability to wear sandals once again."
