5 out of 5 stars

I recently had to use this remedy on one of my kids and thought I would share it. My grandma who is now 97 years old taught me it when I was little. You simply cut a v out of the center of the toe nail with small clippers. It takes an hour or two for the relief to start being felt and with in a day or two the pain will be gone. The v causes the nail to start growing towards the center and away from the sides.

I have been trying to find a detailed description of how you actually cut the V but I can't find it anywhere - how do you cut it ? - do you cut a whole chunk out so you can see the skin underneath? how exactly do you cut becuase I have tried to guess and all I can do is just try and file a v shape as there is no grip - do you mean cut a v in the center of the actual nail or the tip of the nail where the white nail grows?? thanks, any help would be great - I have had 2 operations which have both gone wrong and I am in agony!

I have an ingrown toenail and just noticed blood this morning. It has been bothering me a little bit but I don't feel much pain down there due to diabetic neuropathy and tingling toes. But this morning it really made itself known to me. I really did not know how bad my diabeties has gotten. This blood sugar issue has got to get under control.

So I sprayed it with hydrogen Peroxide several times this morning and then doused it with DMSO and then some cayenne extract. And Just learned about the "V-Cut" and I did a small one ( the nail is very short). So I am going to use the system of cleaning the wound with H2O2, and DMSO and Cayenne Extract with the V cut, and perhaps the floss technique to lift the nail. So that is what I am going to do to solve this problem for the toe. It looks like it will work.

Man: Fat over 5%/g coats nutrients with oil preventing them from getting into the cells. Eating cooked conventionally grown food folds the mitochondrial proteins so the insulin cannot attach to the receptor site. I take 600g raw carbs, 20g coconut oil for saturated fat, 15g unsaturated fat including 6g omega 3s, and 70g raw protein. This program unfolds mitochondrial proteins revealing the insulin receptor sites and does not coat the nutrients with oil so the insulin can carry the nutrients into the cell. I get my carbs from organic whole cane sugar and organic fruits.

This really does work. I have been using this method for 13 years and only get an ingrown toe nail when I forget to re-cut the notch.

Would someone post a picture of your v cut. I do not understand either.

I found examples of the "V Cut" method here, under the section Remedy #4. This should help people who were unsure how to do this, or what it should look like:
