5 out of 5 stars

I had a toe fungus on my big toe. Went to the foot doctor who had me on an antibiotic for 6 months with no results. I then spent 6 months using tree tea oil 2Xs per day, again no result. Finally soaked a cotton ball 2xS per day for 10 minutes with original Listerine--3 days later NO MORE FUNGUS! ALL GONE!!

Take a soft bristle tooth brush, soak in listerine, and brush nails daily before bed. File down thick nfected nails, make sure to disinfect brush and file.

How does one disinfect a toothbrush and nail file? In what solution? And how long do you keep the toothbrush and file in the solution?

Hi Nancy,

There are several disinfecting or sterilizing solutions you can use for the toothbrush and nail file. Though, I would soak them in separate containers.

1. HOCL - Hypochlorous Acid 0.02%

A good brand is briotech.com - "BrioTech Pure Hypochlorous." Soak 1-2 hours. This solution is completely non-toxic. This is NOT true regular bleach and is at least 10X more potent. Your body naturally makes HOCL.

2. USP or NSF Bleach 6%

This is hypochlorite or regular bleach. USP/NSF indicates it is a food grade bleach. Add bleach to water: 1 pint water (500 mL) + 1 tsp. (5 mL) 6% USP/NSF bleach. The result is 0.05% hypochlorite. You can use up to 0.2%. Soak 2 hours. This type of bleach has toxins.

3. Iodine 5% - 7%

6 drops Lugol's Iodine in 1/2 cup filtered water. Only purchase "clean" Lugol's - e.g., from a compounding pharmacist, drclarkstore.com, make your own, etc. Soak 2 hours or overnight. The iodine will evaporate out of solution.

4. Grain Alcohol

1 Liter Everclear or Vodka 80 proof. Soak tooth brush in 70% - 76% grain alcohol or undiluted Vodka (which is about 50% alcohol). Use a wide mouth jar with a close fitting non-metal lid, since alcohol evaporates. Can add salt to this, synergistic. Soak 1 hour.

5. Colloidal Silver. Soak overnight.

Best to get a new toothbrush and drop it into steaming hot water for 1/2 hour to remove toxic plasticizers and dyes which would otherwise seep into your mouth. First, wash tooth brush with Borax to remove other toxins.

I simply liberally spray my toothbrush after I use at night with HOCL 0.02% and put it inside an also sprayed plastic holder. Then, it is ready to use the next day.

Most of these ideas are listed in books by Hulda Clark, PhD, ND.
