Many people believe that it is fungus when urgly toenails are shown. The truth is that that is not fungus most of time. All horror stories you read could be a side effects of Lamisil. One of main side effects is liver damage. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, liver dysfunction manifest on nails. What a coincidence. Someone who has dysfunction of liver will have fungus toenail. As most people don't understand the cause, they blame Lamisil. Original cause is not taken care of. Then they believe side effects of Lamisil caused. Of course there could be some side effects as most medicine has. Liver function is related with stroke very much. Good example is my relative. He doesn't want acupuncture treatment as he had so much painful experiences when he was young. At that time needles were very thick and painful. No matter what I explained he refused to get treatment from me. When he got a stroke, he didn't have any choices. I gave him treatments. I found he had fungus toe nails. His all toenails were yellow and looked very dirty. When I gave needle treatments, he said there was no pain at all. Needles these days made of stainless steel, hair like thin making no pain when inserted. My relative is 87 now and he doesn't have any more fungus toenails.
Some pink toenails change the color to yellow or black. Some become thin and crumbling. Some has only at great toe. Some has fifth toe. Why do you think fungus stays only on one toe even though we wear shoes for a long time?. Fungus is supposed to spread fast to other toes, but rarely happens. If you don't treat this on time, bells palsy, diabetes, stroke and/or even cancer might follow. Every toe location involves different organs. When treated well, brand new ones will grow back after 6 months. Sometimes it takes one and half year, as growth rate is different with different person. Old person like my relative took longer time. Younger person takes less time.
Unless original cause is not treated, all are temporary. Cream or vinegar is not an answer. Now you understand the fact. Treat original cause, then fungus nails will be disappeared. There are only a few people who understand this fact. Good luck.
