Week 5
It’s now been one month, and the toenail fungus continues its retreat. The key, it seems, to improvement is unrelenting persistence. I used tea tree oil half-halfheartedly a few years ago and didn’t see any improvement. If this sounds familiar, give it another try.
Next week I will be posting a step by step guide that shows exactly what I do each day. I have made minor tweaks since the beginning (like adding the coconut oil) that requires a clear and concise summary. I hope that it will help you see the same results I have already achieved.
Week 6
This week I am starting to see a little bit of normal looking pink nail emerge on my right big toe. All of the active fungus has turned completely white, it used to be kind of grayish. I do believe that it’s dying.
An interesting effect that rubbing all this stuff on my toes has been its effect on my feet in general. I used to have gross cracks on the bottoms of my feet and in between my toes, and they would sometimes bleed. I suppose that is athlete’s foot. All gone, completely soft and healed. My feet don’t stink anymore either.
Like I mentioned last week, I have added a step by step guide that shows you exactly how I am treating my nail fungus. That way, if this ends up being 100% successful (which I hope), you will be able to copy it to the letter. Of course, if it doesn’t work, I will remove it and we will just go a different route.
Week 7
I am now taking my shoes off and immediately washing my feet as soon as I get home from work, and this is really helping a lot (that’s why my feet are red in this picture, I had just finished washing them in hot water). The toenail fungus is on it’s way out! Take a look at these two pictures (six weeks apart):
Yeah, they are awfully short, but I’ll take short nails over hideously thick, yellow monster nails.
Week 8
Daylight! It’s been a while since my feet have seen it. Boy, what a difference only 2 months makes. Every toenail now has clean growth at the base, and there is less gross yellow fungus every day. I am still using Kerasal Nail and I am not really sure when to stop. I do NOT want the nail fungus to come back, so I intend on continuing to use the tea tree oil indefinitely maybe a couple times a week.
A reader asked if I am concerned about ingrown toenails since they are so short. I used to get them, and I can tell you that as long as you are cutting all the way to the edge of the nail and not leaving any sharp edges, you will be okay.
