CURE Toenail Fungus (And keep it Gone FOREVER)

How to cure toenail fungus has been the topic of many videos and blog posts. Almost all of these 'cures' only address part of the problem and include a product they're trying to sell you. In this video, I will address all the issues that lead to this condition, and give you strategies that will fix toenail fungus, and keep it gone forever.
Toenail fungus can be just a cosmetic problem, or be a sign of underlying metabolic or immune system issues, and can lead to serious medical problems. With these strategies, you can improve toenail fungus, and help to prevent many other related issues.
So many people suffer from toenail fungus and need these strategies shared with them because they just don't know they can fix it. Help me share these strategies so you never have to look at another fungus-ravaged toenail!

    Hello DR Berry, I may have an unusual case here. My big toe "looks" like it has toe fungus on it but im not sure that it "IS" fungus. What happened was about 22 years ago I was moving a fridge on some dollies and it slid off and fell on my big toe. I done the drilling a hole in the nail to relieve the pressure but the nail never got better. It has been like this for 22 years. The end of the nail bulges up and looks just like fungus. Ive tried everything but having the nail removed to see if it would grow back normal. will Keto life reverse this?

    Lugols or Nascent iodine applied directly is an extremely powerful fungicide. I'm not an MD but I know a thing or two about chemistry and biology. Forget the other topical 'remedies' like acetic acid - they are weak and inferior. Iodine is key. It sticks around a lot longer than anything else and continues to work after the initial application. Applied regularly, the only negative side effect is that your toes are stained yellowish. I used iodine to 'cure' an abscessed tooth infection that according to mainstream medical practice, was "not possible". Rather than paying some highly educated moron to preform a $4,000 root canal procedure, I treated the affected tooth with topical nascent iodine for a few dollars and 3 years later there is no evidence of an abscess; which is nothing short of a miracle considering that I have poor oral hygiene and never brush my teeth. So happy I took things into my own hands. From my perspective most 'Doctors' have become little more than 'glorified pharmaceutical vending machines'. I feel like a medical scientist would be of more use to someone than a doctor. If I were wealthy enough I would consult a team of medical scientists rather than doctors. I'm digressing... anyway... Iodine not only kills bacteria and fungi, it is a vital component of the immune system and facilitates an environment conducive to the healing process. I cannot imagine a single doctors office that doesn't have copious amounts of iodine on hand - even in underdeveloped countries. Yet if you go in with a toenail fungus they will prescribe you a barrage of expensive experimental medicines... with numerous untold side-effects... when the solution is literally within arms reach of the doctor the entire time but for some reason remains an unattainable treatment option the patient isn't even so much as educated about!!! I find that a bit ironic and really brings into question the efficacy of the modern 'doctor patient' relationship. Seems like doctors are made to walk a bureaucratic tight-rope so tense you could pluck a tune on it.

    As you can see here that this doc needed to spend more than 11 mins to thoroughly explained the nature of the simple disease like fungal infection. However in a reality patient would interrupt and ask questions, plus they would have many other medical concerns or complaints too, so in order to cover for everything doc has to be quick and brief.

    I lost half my toenail to fungus after I had covid and was run down. I had the fungus for years before that, but it had never been that bad. I used oil of oregano directly on the affected skin for a couple of weeks, once in the morning and then at night (I probably forgot a few times). This treatment completely eradicated the fungus, my toenail grew back normally over the winter and the fungus is permanently gone. I did not change my diet, did not get new socks, or anything. It worked for me and oil of oregano is found at most health food stores, or on Amazon. That said, the diet mentioned on this video is also a great idea for general health. Good luck! UPDATE: My toenail continues to be fungus free and completely healthy. Oil of Oregano is powerful stuff!

After a few months or so, I noticed that my nails looked different. Upon further inspection, I figured out that it was basically gone. New nail growth with no cracks or flaking.

    Skip to 4:33 to actually get to the topic. 1.) Less sugar and carbs. 2.) Don't wear shoes when possible, be barefoot as much as possible. 3.) Exposure to the sun is hostile to foot fungus, 5 minutes per day of exposure. 4.) Apple cider vinegar soak once a month. 5.) Hygiene, use an old tooth brush to clean your toes in the shower. 6.) Keep nails trimmed, but not around the corners, no digging, straight cuts. 7.) blow dry toes with hair dryer after shower.

    I used buckwheat honey that had started to sugar (made it less messy) and put it on morning and night and then putting a bandaid over the top. It took 4 or 5 months before I could see that the nail was beginning to grow out normally. It took several more months for the entire nail to grow out enough to get rid of the ugly nail. Once the nail was growing out the way it should, I discontinued the honey treatment.

    After I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and before I could begin to get it under control I started having major problems with embarrassing toenail fungus. I was given several options for curing this problem but none of them seemed to be good solutions and some of them were even dangerous and my pharmacist recommended against using them. I then started researching natural remedies and saw that a tincture made out of black walnut hulls was considered very effective against toe fungus as well as many other health issues, and since I had such a tree on my property I decided to give it a try. This cure worked very well and would stop the growth of the fungus right away, regular treatment every two or three days would keep it from returning and after my blood glucose levels were under control I was able to just treat my toenails occasionally if I noticed a problem. But, using the black walnut tincture turned my toenails an ugly brown color which was better than the fungus still ugly. During my research, I had learned that the main anti-infection ingredient in this tincture was natural iodine the walnut hulls. This then gave me the idea to just use store-bought iodine tincture, which it turned out worked even better than my walnut hull remedy with a little less staining of the nail. One day when looking around my local pharmacy I found a bottle of "Decolorized" Iodine tincture! Now I finally have the perfect solution to toenail fungus, the decolorized Iodine tincture cures my toenail fungus and once or twice a month treatments keep it away with little or no nail discoloration. I hope that this tip helps someone!

    I had two toenails with fungus and I agree, a healthy diet and hygeine. I use a back brush in my shower, but not on my back. I use it to scrub my feet and toes. After my shower, without fail, I drop Tea Tree Oil on my toenails before putting on my socks. My nails have grown out beautifully and free of fungus. I do trim them as needed and keep them straight. I am 65 years old and saw how bad my parents and siblings toenails got with fungus. I can say I will never have nails like that. I continue to use the tea tree oil and my nails are healthy and free of fungus.

    A twist on the toothbrush advice is to use a sonicare brush, and for soap use a drop of Nizoral shampoo with it. Nizoral's active ingredient is ketaconozole, an anti-fungal agent. It was once prescribed in pill form (like Lamisil) specifically to treat nail fungus (but it no longer is as it was too hard on the liver when taken internally). That damn fungus is tough stuff - gotta attack it every way possible to get it gone.

    Interesting. I had an infection a few years ago that caused the toenail to get dry and brittle. I used a lot of hand sanitizer on it and about a week later it seemed a little better. The nail started growing back healthy and I kept using the alcohol based germ killing hand sanitizer. It eventually resolved when the new nail grew back. I use hand sanitizer on all my clippers now to be sure they don’t infect a nail.

Every evening after I got out of my bath I scrubbed my toenails with Peroxide generously.Dried them off with a towel and then squirted some more peroxide on them let them air-dry. My toenails were so bad they had raised the middle of the toenail up 3/8 of an inch ,with fungus. Peroxide bath got rid of it. I still put Peroxide on my toes when I get out of my bath and it has kept it under control .Toenails look beautiful.

    Terrible advice. From a podiatrist! My toenails lifted away from my toes, so I cut them right down to the base( no pain or blood as they were were not attached to flesh anyway), then applied over the counter nail fungus treatment every day and after every shower. After four months my nice new nails are nearly full length. I haven’t changed my high sugar diet. From April I start wearing open toed sandals and I don’t wear shoes and socks until September. No one commented on my toes. Even if people noticed , it was worth it to get my toenails back.

    BEST DR EVER!!! I love that your advice is just natural, eating right and doing other things like exposure to sun, which I had no idea, fungus didn't like. I just got fungus on the tip of my nail, it had to occur weeks ago, because, beginning of August, there was no sign of fungus, I just had trauma to the nail from June wearing my sneakers and walking many hours and bumping into a kid on the street which he ended up stepping on my big toe, was hell! I came home and saw that I had gotten a bruised toe nail and or blood underneath the nail. So since June, the nail has been fine and slowly growing out the bruising, it went from the cuticle to now being the middle of my nail, which I'm happy about, it's almost there of getting outgrown. But, today, I took off my white nail polish and saw that I had discoloration of whiteish/yellowish color at the tip of my nail, I freaked out that it could be fungus ;( The weird thing is, I'M ALWAYS BAREFOOT, ALL YEAR ROUND, I'm a barefoot lover, I love to be free and hate wearing socks. I have NEVER had a problem with fungus with my toe nails, EVER, so I'm so shocked as to why I or how I got it?!? :( I know lately I have been eating sugar like crazy, because I haven't had sugar since summer started, I've been deprived, so I went crazy with the sugar ;(, I'm guessing that's why the fungus happened? ;( I'm already a skinny girl naturally, I hate being on a diet, it just means I'm going to get skinnier ;( This blows ;(

    Thanks for these tips and tricks. I've been following and practicing them for the past year. I've suffered with this since I was kid growing up in south FL. All my toe nails have been infected since then. Last year, I bought my first pair of sandals. I'm retired so, I can wear them all day, every day. Sunshine? I live in the Mohave Desert here in AZ where there is more sunshine here than any other state in the union. I spend most of my daylight time outside, year round. My toes get more than their fair share of sunlight every day. Although, I can see improvement in my toes, after one year in a very sunny, dry climate, I still have toe fungus. I believe I need to look at my diet a lot closer than I have this past year. That may hold the key to success along with the exposure to the sun. I'll report my results in another year. Thanks again for the common sense method you offer. You are to be commended!

    I did all this, but not the Lamisil. I did something extra tho. In the beginning I was rigid and certainly used the blow drier! I cut my nails short and kept them clean, but I also sanded my nail down. All the nail. They actually looked normal when I did this. Don’t let this fool you. After sanding tho, I immediately swabbed tea tree oil on all my nails - even the ones that weren’t icky. Diet, exercise, sun, trim nails straight across, scrub them super clean, dry thoroughly, file or sand the nail to where it is thinner (this was relief on my ingrown toe nails), dry with a dryer and immediately apply tea tree oil to nails all over and in the crevices and under the nail bed. Only file or sand when they need it, of course. AFter that, continue to clean, dry and apply tea tree oil after showering. Also, make sure you have fresh clean socks. In the beginning I would change them out twice a day and was constantly washing my socks and would reapply the tea tree oil to be tough on the fungus. Now, it returns about once every two years. I do the above once and maybe apply the tea tree oil for about a week, only wear fresh clean socks and I’m good to go in about a week or two. The main thing is diet, exercise and good hygiene on the toes. I have type 2 diabetes and this was criminal to my immune system. Not only do I not have icky nails, but no dry and cracked heels. I buy socks more often now and never hesitate to just throw old socks out. Adapting for the long time, like he suggests is key.

    Great medical advice. I had a toenail infection, fungal, and doing a similar regimen was able to grow a new healthy nail. No current signs of fungus, but still practice this regime. Especially blow drying my feet and keeping my nails trimmed to a reasonable length.Yes, the deep ridge that the nail developed took months to grow out, but did not return. I acquired the infection after someone suggested I let my toenails grow longer for appearances. The problem was the longer the nail the more moisture remained under the nail,. A setup for a fungal infection. My feet look great, and my shorter nails look beautiful in red nail polish! Important in the summer months wearing scandals! Thanks Doctor Berry, great advice.

    Ayumi Suzuki your nail should grow out. It will take some time, but if you treat what you have left of the nail, the new nail should be shinier than a new penny. I use bleach baths on my husband and apple cider vinegar. The bleach is wonderful for treating the athletes foot, if you have that too, and the apple cider vinegar is great for the nails. Not as strong as hydrogen peroxide. But, keep maintaining the new nail as it grows in. Hope all goes well. Don’t file the nail Down too much again. You need them. 👍🏽🌸

    My husband took the Lamisil and he lost his sense of taste in 1999. The doctor then gave him an antidepressant for "stress." Not related but just as discouraging, the symptoms of Parkinson's (micrographia and anxiety) were misdiagnosed as stroke (without having an MRI done). So much for managed care in the 2000s. He turned 60, and had a referral to a psychiatrist who demanded an MRI which rules out the stroke. Thirteen years late he died, not of PD but of myeloma; that took him fast and he did not have the rest of his life totally bedbound.

At that time I wasn't on keto but I saw my Indian friends always wearing sandals and realised the toes will be dry in sunlight with the sandals. This all backs up what you have said about dry feet and sunlight. Thanks for your educational videos Dr Berry.

    This has worked well for me: Apple vinegar soak every other day, Epsom salt/hot water soak every other day. Then trim the nails a bit. Apply Hydrogen Peroxide around nail edges. Lastly, mix coconut oil and tea tree oil in a 50/50 pre mix. The tea tree oil by itself can be harsh. Before bed, wash your feet and let dry; then apply the coconut/tea tree oil concoction. Do this every day! It works! I had the fungus for 10 years and it’s gone. Good luck!

    I had toenail fungus for about 2 decades. I used the paint on varnish on and off and it seemed to kill the fungus but it came back. The final straw for me was the whole big toe nail peeling off as it was rotten underneath. I found an internet solution (I know, I know!) that I thought I would try and it killed my fungus off and 3 years later I am still clear without continuing the treatment. Here's my solution: 1. I used a Urea creme to soften the nail and I trimmed as much of the rotten nails as I could with scissors and even a box-cutter blade to trim off the top to expose as much garbage as I could. 2. I painted the affected nails with tea tree oil and applied a plaster / band-aid to the painted nail. Keep this on until the band-aid falls off. 3. After a shower, apply Oregano oil to the nails and then cover with the band-aid. 4. When the band-aid falls off, switch to a tea tree oil coating and repeat this switching until the nail grows out clean. You have to keep this up consistently until the nail becomes healthy but I finally removed my fungus after 2 decades of infection!
