Took my father to endocrinologist today. He has reactive hypoglycemia and is on his way to developing diabetes w elevated insulin and HA1C. Doctor’s advice was to eat simple carbs every 2 to 3 hours. I said that’s just going to elevated his insulin levels even more and then my dad will for sure be full blown diabetic. Doc responded and I quote, “Oh don’t worry about that. We have medicine to take care of that!”😳😳😳😳. Heaven help us!!!
I developed toenail fungus aged 18/19. All chiropodists and drs over the years told me to paint it and forget about it as the 3 month antibiotic course would do more damage than good. Obviously they were all men who had never tried to apply nail varnish to a snapped and crumbling nail. 😂 It took around a year of cutting out sugar for it to grow out and not return...after living with it for 35yrs!
@@1Sackettgirl your body treats all carbs the same as sugar. Pretty much no carbs, except full fat dairy and a blip with other carbs for a few months that coincided with a change in HRT medication.
I like everything he said except for the order of 5 things most important. He said #1 strength exercise #2 cardio #3 sleep #4 eat right #5 supplement. I would put eat right as #1 from what I’ve been learning is the most important thing.
Yeah He doesn’t get it U can sleep all day n if u eat garbage the probs stay U can never outexercise a bad diet either, whether lifting or cardio U can’t out swallow a bad diet either (with supplements)
@@YeshuaKingMessiah My husband sleeps all 7 hours a night, does cardio by golfing 4x's a week, supplements - he has a serious problem with this that hasn't gone away. He has changed his meals recently so I'm hoping that will make the difference soon!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah so true! You can not out exercise a bad diet. Good one! I always come across people and even doctors on RUclips say “I work out and run miles and miles and I still became overweight and unhealthy”
My husband had undiagnosed diabetes. He had a toe wound that got really bad after doing some plumbing work in our wet crawlspace. Multiple resistant bacteria so he did a pic line for 42 days for those bacteria. We did wound changes on the toe with manuka honey (I think local honey would have worked as well) at a minimum of once per day. Really stayed on top of it. I gave him handfuls of supplements each day designed to support his immune system and bone growth. The doc at first said he needed to take the toe due to osteo infection. It took 7 months... happy to report that the wound finally healed. If we had been even better with carb reduction and no sugar I believe it would have healed in four months. Don't give up! Honey is a miracle.
@@4Lights.5Liights Clean the wound. Cover the wound with honey. Then wrap in cotton bandages. For a lot of the dressing changes, I mixed goldenseal root powder into the honey, then placed on the wound. I don't think that is strictly necessary... but we were determined to NOT have his toe and part of his foot amputated. The work was worth it!
nowadays you can buy parasitic fungus that eat the infectious fungus, it's highly effective because it can get all under the nail bed and everywhere. own doc sells it maybe 15 dollars, it ships from cech republic I think.
I had some mild discoloration, and brittleness, with my big toe nails, and I reaslized that fungus is alive. I killed 100% of it with a magnifying glass, and the sun. Of course you dont concentrate the sun so you burn yourself, use common sense! What I did was make the sun spot from the glass, smaller and smaller until it started to sting, then I backed off a bit. I then moved the light over the entire nail, and did that a few times, with both nails. This killed ALL of the fungus.
@@c4caffeen134 I was simply not going to have toe fungus. It is not as radical as you might think. You are not burning yourself, you are simply concentrating sunlight, just before it starts to sting a little. From the fungus point of view, it was a thermonuclear explosion.
@@glideamerica No I thought you had maybe heard that sunlight or heat might be the source of a cure, I definitely knew you weren't burning yourself =) I just would have never put that together as a possible remedy =) I have some that just started on one nail (I think my husband used my nail clippers??) I hope this works!
@@c4caffeen134 it will definitely kill all of the fungus. When I realized I was getting the fungus I was horrified. I looked online and all I could see was the pills lamisil and topical treatments and 3 to 4 months of time frame etcetera, with no guarantees. I realize that your finger is translucent like when you put a light behind your finger it will glow red. So I knew the sunlight would penetrate to the nail bed and kill the fungus. Just be careful, and use a small magnifying glass. The bigger the surface area of the glass makes all the difference in terms of how much energy is concentrated. A 5 inch diameter magnifying glass will have way more heat than a 3-inch magnifying glass. So in this case smaller is definitely better.
I spent $1200 doing the same thing with a foot doctor but with a laser that is hot. He told me there would be a 90% success rate. I guess I was in the 10%. It didn’t work. Your method sounds much cheaper & I could do it over & over again till it works!
Now toenail fungus. Shave off the top icky, file down even with regular surface, and apply tea tree oil. Once it looks normal keep applying it for another week until toenail grows out a bit with the new growth looking normal. TADAH! Yep been there done that as well.
Yes tee tree oil works. It takes about a year by using it twice a day painting it onto nails and under the tip of the nail but it does work. I know because I've been applying it to a person I look after.
Very wise. FYI the best "cure" for any fungus problem with your feet is: 1. Soak your feet in vinegar every few days 2. Keep you feet dry and clean. If there is an underlying cause making it reoccur, do what this doctor said. To be fair though, most people could eradicate most of their health issues by just Topical use of vinegar Not being fat Avoiding processed foods and sugar Exercise Spending at least a clear ten hour window of every day where you consume ZERO calories. Easy to say, another thing to do.
It's true. I purchased a set of rubber show covers, the kind you would put over your shoes when it rains. I only have it on one foot. I pour vinegar in and slide my foot in. It's a tight fit which holds the vinegar inside. Amazing results in a few weeks, but it does take a year or so for the toenails to grow completely out
Touring France (I'm a guitarist) in 2005 I injured a finger. Afterwards it turned out that fungus had developed in that finger, which then spread to my big gout toe. My other big toenail started to calcify. Lived with it for years and didn't pay much attention to it. After 2 years of keto, I noticed by chance that the fungus had disappeared: no trace of it could be found anymore. Wow! I met an old friend who told boldly that two of his two big toes had been amputated and that his entire left foot would soon be removed. When I told him about my diet he laughed for a moment in complete disregard for my story. His foot is in the bin now. Sad!
With some people you can offer to show them the ocean yet they’ll resolutely remain in their mud puddle. I have morbidly obese relatives who would prefer their arthritis, high blood pressure, acid reflux, and to replace every one of their joints accompanied by the subsequent PT than to just try Carnivore. What on earth do they have to lose?
I think certain people’s ming too long closed. Im listening to everyone even I diasgree with them. Eatitng only meat or keto I believed thats crazy or another fashion type of diet. But I had health problems at 41 I just didn’t want accept and started to look for IM fasten and then eat 90% beef. It changed my life.
I know by leaving a comment here, RUclips will keep sending me toenail fungus videos. But you can cure yellow nails, I did it after I had it from toe injuries caused my two largest toenails to get yellow. I used clear iodine off Amazon on my toenails every 1-3 days and my nails are now back to normal. However it took a lot of work, I had to really be diligent about it. I also thinned my nails with sandpaper first as much as possible so the iodine would absorb as much as possible. I also made sure to dry my toenails after taking a shower by pressing a towel into the cracks. So yeah, you can cure it, I did.
I tried the clear iodine daily for probably two months or so, but it didn’t work for my yellow nails (it’s also my big toenails), and the clear iodine isn’t clear, sadly, and will leave yellow stain on fabric. I’m so glad it worked for you though!!! ❤ I think it does for many-I just wasn’t as fortunate, ha! Oh, and what you said about commenting will make YT send you toenail fungus videos made me laugh!! 🤣
I took Diflucan 25 years ago, and it came back. I took toenail fungus meds in prison for 8 days, and it made me very ill. I know no carb would fix it, plus skin tags, eye floaters, gum disease, heart disease, blurry vision, night blindness, etc. ad nauseum
When women go through menopause it greatly changes how our bodies process vitamin D, I am a healthy,older female with an excellent diet and I work outside. My annual test just came back low again! I’m having to double my daily dose again even with several hours of sun per day, eating beef ( and eggs ) that I raise- soil depletion is absolutely a thing!
Dr Boz channel just did a video on this Lay in a Tanning bed with safe uvb rays Her father was in the same position The chemtrails are blocking the good rays Her dad was nearly dead because his D3 was lower than low!

@@virginiasummer2619 I’ve heard this about menopause!! Have you considered HRT? I was so opposed to it, but now I’m thinking it’s the way to go. Lots of info on YT. ❤
Thank you for addressing the best magnesium to take. That has puzzled me for a long time. Also, I wanted to mention that you are right that family culture influences diet and therefore health, but I can assure you (I'm a child of a geneticist) that there is a genetic component to 'the propensity' for type 2 diabetes. A good example of this is my husband's family are nearly all pre-diabetic, or diabetic, including him, and he is in great shape and switches between low carb and carnivore for specific reasons. My family all eat badly in general, and none of us in three generations have developed type 2 diabetes. Even some of the most obese. There is a body-type that is more to it as well. Loved this episode by the way! Thanks for the intro to doctor Tom. I learned so much about how to fix my feet/nail issues.
I would use a good natural castor oil (Queen of the Trowns) for thick skin because castor oil will draw oxygen to the area. I put some on my face and it got rosey! Soooo many benefits with castor oil!
I had this thought. It would be far cheaper to socialize healthy food for everyone, than it would be to pay for a socialized medical system. In other words, food is cheaper than hospitals.
Why would you socialize ANYTHING? Free market regenerative farming is the only way forward for healthy people, animals and our planet. "They" want us all eating bugs!
As a combat Medic, I have dealt with a lot of toenail fungus. I just want to say that many times toenail fungus is due to an injury to the nail bed. Maybe an object fell in your toe, etc. What happens is that the injury causes the nail to grow unattached to the nail bed causing the nail to become discolored, dry, and brittle. The best thing to do in such a scenario is to file or use a Dremmel tool to sand down the nail.
when I was 16, I dropped a 4x8' sheet of oak plywood on my toe, from about 3 feet up. I've had fungus since then, on that one toe. never spread. so you're saying I can dremel that down nail, then what? apply tea tree oil? I'd really like to get rid of this issue , without going to a podiatrist. Please and thank you!
@@sychosez Dremel it slowly down and use iodine or teatree oil for desinfection. Dry off your feet after showers or when they get wet (you can use a hairdryer if you have mobility problems) and give them some attention once or twice a week and scrub down the thick skin with a sandstone as mentioned in the vid. It takes some time but it will work! (took me about a year to get rid of that toenailfungus / foot fungus!)
@@sychosez what I'm saying is that you probably have a permanent injury to your nail bed. Your nail will continue to grow slightly deformed and detached from the nail bed. When this happens, you are always gonna have nail fungus. So, you manage your permanent injury by grinding down to nail as it grows in order to manage it. But, don't expect a permanent fix
I did everything Dr. Tom recommends. I ate very low carb, with excellent BG control, and still struggled with toenail fungus. However, this worked for me like a charm: daily soaks in 2 cups listerine mouthwash (caramel colored, not blue!), 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups water, and about 1/4 cup bleach. It stinks (can't do while wife is home). I did this for a couple of months and quickly saw new toenails coming in without disease. Of course it takes about 6 months for the fungus-damaged toenail to grow out. After 2 months, I decreased to at least an hour soak once/week, more when I had the chance. Now I soak once/week for maintenance. Ongoing perfect results! I agree with all his recs and live by them, but I need the soaks to keep my toenails looking good.
@@BlueBlossomsBlues Yes, I think you need to keep doing it unless you're willing to throw away all your shoes and start fresh. Your toes probably keep getting re-infected form your footwear. You can also try not doing it to see if it comes back. It did for me, and now a once/week soak has kept it away for good.
Love your vie does Lily. All I can say is if we consider ourselves students not patients. A patient has to surrender. A student is engaged and motivated.
A few years back, I noticed black spots on my left big toe and a some on my calfs and thick skin dry on my heels, itching all over too. . I though it was harmeless and probably related to aging since I always had healthy feet and skin. On my 66 went to dr for first MCR appointment, got blood work an other woman"s testing. I got dx with pre diabetes and nutrient deficits, mainly vit D and b12, which surprised me since I am of normal bmi and my diet was not that terrible, and I was not a big sugar consumer. However, I had other issues that now I now can also elevate your DM risk besides a poor diet. Before taking any medication and after some personal research, I went into a keto diet of no more than 30mg of carbs and IF two times a day to avoid losing too much weight which happens with me very easily. I tested myself faithfully and I now know what makes my BG to spike. My pre diabetes and black spots are gone, and my feet and skin are healthy and soft again. Also all my aches and pains, that I though were age related disappeared. Great interview and information!
I saw several foot doctors over the years who all thought I had toenail fungus and they all cut my nail off each time. It would grow back the same - very thick. The last podiatrist I saw, said everyone was misdiagnosing me and that I actually don't have fungus, it's just a badly damaged nail. I'm hoping carnivore diet will help it to heal because I've tried everything else. We shall see...
Ive done allot of research online for educational purposes and this has to be the best information I have seen on RUclips, Great Job to educate ! Thank You!
My husband has had toenail fungus his whole life. Early twenties his doctor told him he would need to have them removed and the nail beds scraped and they would'nt grow back. He had the procedure and Suffered all that pain for nothing, they grew back exactly the same way.
That means you have nail fungus too, it is highly infectious. This fungus infests the gut, that is why is difficult to fight. The gut must be treated, as well as the toes. For the gut is Curcumin, garlic, oregano oil , For toes ... oregano oil , tea tree oil , clove oil
Sunlight conversion to vitamin D varies widely between individuals and where you live. High fructose corn syrup inhibits conversion of sunliht to vitamin D
I live in the UK and I'm currently listening to what Tom is saying about the benefits of lifting weights......while lifting (squatting) heavy weights in my bedroom! Yeah!
I tried all the usual prescribed meds for toenail fungus they worked for a while and then the fungus would come back, after about 2 years of this I tried applying several essential oils (most are anti fungal/bacterial and the fungus was completely gone in a matter of about 12 weeks, it is now 12mths later and still no sign of it. Some of them can also be consumed internally like peppermint and citrus, and inhaled for allergies etc. - well worth researching.
I totally agree with you, after taking my father to many of his apoointments, from the time they took toes, then his foot, and finally, unfortunately, I was a few hours late to potentially save him or at least be with him when he passed. I tried to introduce him to a better way of eating, making him fabulous home cooked meals with his grill and kitchen, for the same money he spent on takrout. Only for him to follow it up with a bag of Doritos and another insulin shot. I am determined to live longer for my own kids, and to show them better ways. Thank you for taking this stuff seriously and helping to educate all of us. That being said, I am also an outdoorsey, hands on person, also a guitarist, and I walk outside barefoot to great effect, as do all my family. We value our callouses. How would you recommend we keep them hydrated and soft, while still tough enough to walk on gravel, sharp rocks, and even broken glass without issue, in the case of feet, or use our fingers as wrenches to loosen and turn stuck nuts, or play guitar for hours without finger fatigue?
Tea tree oil is a great anti fungal to apply daily…just let it drop under the nail. Apple cider vinegar (must be ‘with the mother’) is also good for eliminating fungus.
@@tamarawolf4095 it’s a slow process to grow off the affected area, but it stops the growth and progression quickly. You have to keep applying it over a long period until it completely grows off.
Don't you think that if you need to apply this maybe you're not well. You should eat a more healthy option. Stop looking at the calorie, carb and sugar amount in food. It's all about the quality. Consume single ingredient food. That's the answer, for example, beans, rice, milk, (organic) beef, (organic) chicken, cheese and fruit, honey, organic sugar (yes you need sugar which is why you crave it). Eat like this and you'll be a much better version of yourself.
@@mikieemiike3979 it can often be diet or a symptom from underlying health issue. In my case, it was from a severe toe injury. Apparently, this can also cause susceptibility.
I had onychomycosis on my toes and had five matrixectomies for permanent toenail removal years ago because I didn’t want to stress my liver with griseofulvin or lamisil. Years later I decided to go with lamisil treatment and low carb diet and the thick calluses and toenail fungus are gone.
Now we must be concerned with what they are coating vegetables ( and fruit) to have them last forever. Apeel No Label. Some say in tiny print natural resin. Organics also have this covering.
These past few months I have kept various fruits sitting out in my 80 F apartment and it NEVER gets any mold or anything! It may shrivel a bit + get wrinkly (like an apple I have from March and now it is July) but no way is this normal! No wonder I react to so many fruits. Its darn right scary. Try it. The stuff does not grow mold or anything on it. And my apartment has no AC.
10 minutes when there's UVB! Which in the North is only medio april/medio september dear Lylian DURING THE MIDDAY HOURS!! NOT AT 10 in the morning or 4 pm. Easy rule of thumb is. Your shadow should shorter or as long as you. Then there's enough UvB.❤❤❤❤ Love your talks Lilly. Thank you!
I don't have toe nail fungus, but I did just go to my dermatologist Monday for my annual skin checkup and I mentioned my cracked and dry heels to her. She told me to get a product that has 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. This will help peel the dried layers off. So last night I ordered a foot peeling spray from Earth Therapeutics that has urea, it didn't say the % but the reviews were pretty decent. I hope it works well for me. 🤞I like that you are having a variety of guests on, all good topics!
I am 61 years old, and I have been fighting toenail fungus for over thirty years, started in my twenties. I am not diabetic, but had been eating a SAD diet until Paleo around ten years ago. I have tried every Rx and homeopathic remedy for at least three months each, many around 6 months. I even had the two large toenails removed, still grew back with fungus. I have been carnivore for 13 months, and have not seen any changes. Perhaps permanently damaged? 😢 What’s the best way to clean off the toenail at home? I have tried toenail clippers, and a rotary grinder, but it is painful.
I had brown fungus under both big toenails and one nail was calcified. After a while of ketovore I noticed to my big surprise, one day when cutting my toenails, that everything had miraculously disappeared. One of the big surprises ketovore gave me.
I am 61 I had candida all over my body pre carnivore and chronic oral thrust. My right toe had the start of toe nail fungus. After a year and three months it is gone, this and so many other things. I feel like I have a second chance 😮on life.
😂🎉so easy!!! Three to seven days. Wear sandals or barefoot. Keep feet dry after soaking in rosemary tea. Then spray alcohol on the fungus. DON'T touch it with your fingers which usually has fungus. No sodas with corn syrup
I'll never get toenail fungus! It was a cold wet winter. My toes were in a wet sock and boot too much. I got it. I also cured it! It took a very long time! I'll share with you what I did but first, prevention advice! If you have family please make sure you keep the tools you use on your ands and feet separated. We don't share a toothbrush soO... Those with children, keep a schedule of when you tend to their feet. If theyre watching you wash and care for their feet theyll eventually know how to care for their feet themselves. Properly. Every Sunday you'll find my kids sitting on the edge of the tub trimming their toes! This process takes a long time. The entire nail has to grow out in a healthy environment. To wash; a dandruff shampoo. Extra strength if possible. Gently scrub your entire foot and each toe and each nailbed to prevent and as part if the cure. Push back the cuticle and remove any soft goo from the top of the nail bed and the from beneath. Being sure to scrape any goo from the flesh surface too. Gently scrub each toe, then the entire foot. Let dry completely. File the nail back into the shape of a healthy nail. File a little bit if the healthy nail that has just grown in and the tip of the nail too. Gently scrub the toes and foot again. Towel dry. Apply the antifungal treatment liquid to the underside and the tops of the nails. Rubbing it in on each nail. I even use a child's toothbrush to kind of scrub the solution in . Allow to dry completely repeat application of solution. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR HAND/FOOT TOOLS CLEAN DRY AND SEPARATED from each other and f4om other family members. This fungus is VERY VERY EASY TO SHARE! GOD'S SPEED IN HEELING!
I picked up a fairly minor fungus on the bottom of my feet. I finely got rid of it by wearing silicone foot covers on my feet at night. This made my feet sweat, and that made the dead skin come off, a little every day. I ordered them on Amazon.
I had toenail fungus on my bigtoe and tried a bunch of things but what finally worked was putting a vapor rub with eucalyptus oil on it and wrapping it with a bandaid .Went away almost immediatly.Now i make sure I dry them well after a shower.
at one point i ate 800g of trout or salmon every day, and i got "too much" vitamin D according to my blood work. and that was in the winter. my doctor was concerned the summer i ate like 1,2-1,6kg per day. those vitamin D levels were very high
Well. Nobody talks about bad circulation in feet. That how i got mine. Circulation is i think bigger problem than people think getting fungus on toenails
Funny how much common sense plays into this. My family jokes and calls me "doctor" my responses are always that you don't need to be a doctor to see a string of evidence. My life should be proof. I'm healthy. I eat sugar and bread, but I also haven't been sick since 2018. What makes me feel bloated or sluggish is not bread or sugar it's when I eat out at restaurants. I make my own bread and food with single ingredients. I use organic sugar. I eat beef, chicken, rice, beans, drink milk and eat tons of fruit. I feel better than I did on keto for 1 year, better than when I was on carnivore for 4 years.

Most of my toe nails are fine, but my left big toe got crushed a few years back when a heavy washing machine fell on it. It took a 1.5 years for it to regrow, but then it had fungus... then eventually fell off. Also my sides of my feet have bruise like patterns; I guess damage over the years with my type 2 diabetes was out of control. Lately, my a1c is from 6.0 to 7.0. Even though my type 2 diabetes is controlled; will may feet develop more bruise marks or just scares from before? Ohya, I also take Calcium + Magnesium before I got bed and chromium in the morning, I heard that helps too for diabetes. Thanks for helping inform us....
I have a planters wart on the bottom of my foot, doctors have "froze" it to get rid of it two different times, I've used wart medicine on it, nothing works, I'm hoping since I started ketovore, it will get better.. so far, my eyes have gotten better, and pain and stiffness are gone, I've been on it for about a year now🤞
1. Cut out a small piece of banana peel. 2. crush some fresh garlic 3. Put the crushed garlic on the the banana peel. 4. Place the banana peel on the planters wart, with the garlic covering the wart. 5. Wrap it up, so that it stays in place. 6. Do this everyday until the wart dies. Mine died in 1 week, but I kept doing it for a while after because I was afraid it would come back. When it died, there was a chunk of dead skin. I was messing with it, and the whole thing just fell out of my foot like a plug. Did not hurt at all! It was dead. There used to be a good video here on RUclips that showed the whole process. That's where I learn about this remedy. I can no longer find the video.
Food means everything. For years they told us "eat lots of fruits & grains" Been there, done that and I was always hungry and overweight. I went low carb and lost 40 pounds without even trying! No hunger between meals. My a1c went from 5.6 to 5.1 in less than a year. Treat your refrigerator as your medicine cabinet.
It is false that gout was nonexistent 100 years ago. The earliest records span back to 2600 BC and over the centuries it was becoming more prevalent, mostly among better off people. From the chat bot: "Gout became more prevalent during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly among the affluent classes who had access to diets high in purine-rich foods and alcohol. This period also saw advancements in medical understanding and treatment of the condition. The connection between gout and uric acid was discovered during this time."
My mother developed toenail fungus after becoming diabetic, although she doesn't take insulin. Her doctors tried all sorts of medicines but her fungus was mostly beneath the toenail. She seldom got toenail breakage or splits. So we changed her diet, began taking cod liver pills and began a topical application of colorless Iodine. We apply it right before bed and let it soak in. It's a slow treatment depending on the severity of the fungus but most of her toenails have returned to normal. I don't recommend taking 5k IU's of Vit D unless your doctor has prescribed it to you. Just get outside in the sun and eat the right foods.
Take D3/K2 you always take the D3 with the k2 which puts the D into your bones not your soft tissue like your arteries. You need to get D3 tested. It should be at least 80-100 ng. If your very deficient you can start out with a higher dose 20,000 IU a day for a few weeks. Can split it up a day and take with a fat to help absorb. Like after a breakfast or some real butter. Also sitting in morning sun for 10/20 minutes with sun on the skin. Don’t take the D2 which is what some drs give. Take the D3/k2 together is best. Dr Eric Berg has videos in this as other drs. Take magnesium citrate to help absorption. Up to 500 mg a day. Mag Glycinate at night helps with sleep and relaxation.
Like this video and this sweet doctor. I wonder how to know if you have gout or a bunion. Or BOTH? I want it gone so bad. Cannot wear hardly any shoes ☹️ My lack of magnesium caused me years of heart palpitations, pac's and pvc's. Had several tests done a few times by cardiologist. He finally told me it was benign and pills he could prescribe but they posed a risk of death 😮 This was around 30 years ago and thank God he led me to an article from the great Dr. Russell Blaylock about the benefits of magnesium. I never miss taking magnesium daily OR Vit D and other nutrients from educating myself all about nutrition. Great video!
I have a nail over growing over my big toe nail. Is this from wearing too narrow shoes? I did start running recently and have a wider foot in the front and narrower in the back.
I forget the specifics but someone argued fat loss is limited by oxygen intake. If you lose more weight than some amount it can only be muscle loss. I vaguely remember it was something like 0.5 kg per week and 1 kg if extremely active. If you lose more you will be replacing the muscles with fat shortly after.
All true. Get a good electric manicure rotary tool with all the different grinding tips and grind off the nail where the fungus is. It’s absolutely painless. Then use anti fungal goops & smears (rubbing alcohol, foot fungus creams, etc,…) every single day. Mine was gone in a few weeks.
Almost 3 years carnivore and still have toenail fungus. Have zero symptoms of diabetes (great A1C and normal blood glucose). Normal weight, live in the tropics and get ton of sunshine weekly. I've had toenail fungus for over 20 years. The only time its ever gone away was when I accidentally smashed a toe and the toenail fell off and grew back normal. Not gonna smash on purpose though haha and my toes/fingers don't stay white they're flushing normally. ALSO if I trim back some of my fungal nails they DO BLEED!!!!
You have to get into ketosis to lose fat, plain and simple. No exceptions. That's because higher insulin levels lock up your fat stores. And the way to get insulin low is to forego carbs for extended periods. It's NOT about calorie restrictions, it's about where the calories come from. Also, with regards to exfoliating your feet: add some vinegar to your footsoak bath. It will turn the dried up skin excess into a crumbly mass that you can rub or brush off. It's better than sanding away with a pumice stone or sandpaper because it will get to areas that you can't and shouldn't sand because you could cause real scratches into the sublayers.
I had no idea that toenail fungus was a real thing. My dad had athlete's foot and battled it for years. Never experienced any foot issues myself. I guess being a carnivore since 1983 made a difference?
I’m carnivore 6+ months now, perfect fasting glucose and insulin, etc. Exercise and strength train daily. I don’t sleep well but doing all I know to do. Big problem with nail fungus. 😢
Make sure your socks are not synthetic. Wool blends work best. A step further would be to make sure you only wear leather shoes. There are some good grounding shoe brands that are healthy for feet! One of the simplest ways, if you aren't in a snowy area, would be to use Birkenstocks and wool socks in the cold times and open toed leather sandals in the summer. Where shoes as little as possible and get your feet into the sun. Fungus can take a while to die out so keep up that great diet! Good luck!
Took my father to endocrinologist today. He has reactive hypoglycemia and is on his way to developing diabetes w elevated insulin and HA1C. Doctor’s advice was to eat simple carbs every 2 to 3 hours. I said that’s just going to elevated his insulin levels even more and then my dad will for sure be full blown diabetic. Doc responded and I quote, “Oh don’t worry about that. We have medicine to take care of that!”😳😳😳😳. Heaven help us!!!
Heaven won’t help and the doctors are the devils stooges. Our health is our own responsibility.
Time to find a NEW doctor.
Oh wow!!!! 😮
F****ING unbelievable 😮
TRAINED AT THE PHARMACEUTICAL FUNDED MEDICAL SCHOOLS, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT??!! REMEMBER 2020 AND THAT'S AT A SMALL SCALE!!😉
I developed toenail fungus aged 18/19. All chiropodists and drs over the years told me to paint it and forget about it as the 3 month antibiotic course would do more damage than good. Obviously they were all men who had never tried to apply nail varnish to a snapped and crumbling nail. 😂
It took around a year of cutting out sugar for it to grow out and not return...after living with it for 35yrs!
Wow! I really admire that you stuck it out.
Just sugar?? Or zero carbs too??
@@1Sackettgirl your body treats all carbs the same as sugar. Pretty much no carbs, except full fat dairy and a blip with other carbs for a few months that coincided with a change in HRT medication.
@@sharfalor4244 ok ty.
I’m in my 10 month of Carnivore and after 40 years of toenail fungus I’m praying for better results.
I even tried $1200 heated laser treatment!
I like everything he said except for the order of 5 things most important. He said #1 strength exercise #2 cardio #3 sleep #4 eat right #5 supplement. I would put eat right as #1 from what I’ve been learning is the most important thing.
Yeah
He doesn’t get it
U can sleep all day n if u eat garbage the probs stay
U can never outexercise a bad diet either, whether lifting or cardio
U can’t out swallow a bad diet either (with supplements)
@@YeshuaKingMessiah My husband sleeps all 7 hours a night, does cardio by golfing 4x's a week, supplements - he has a serious problem with this that hasn't gone away. He has changed his meals recently so I'm hoping that will make the difference soon!
I agree
@@YeshuaKingMessiah so true! You can not out exercise a bad diet. Good one! I always come across people and even doctors on RUclips say “I work out and run miles and miles and I still became overweight and unhealthy”
They all matter. I see so many unhealthy Keto and Carnivore and Paleo folks because they obsess about diet and have no social life and don't exercise.
My husband had undiagnosed diabetes. He had a toe wound that got really bad after doing some plumbing work in our wet crawlspace. Multiple resistant bacteria so he did a pic line for 42 days for those bacteria. We did wound changes on the toe with manuka honey (I think local honey would have worked as well) at a minimum of once per day. Really stayed on top of it. I gave him handfuls of supplements each day designed to support his immune system and bone growth. The doc at first said he needed to take the toe due to osteo infection. It took 7 months... happy to report that the wound finally healed. If we had been even better with carb reduction and no sugar I believe it would have healed in four months. Don't give up! Honey is a miracle.
Also garlic is a natural antibiotic. Glad your husband is doing better. Blessings to your family
I agree! Also try meta honey from pharmacy but can get on line(was 2x as expensive on Amazon. I paid $5 for 1/2 oz tube.
Yes, honey is good - for external use.
what do you do with the honey? Wrap it around the clean wound?
@@4Lights.5Liights Clean the wound. Cover the wound with honey. Then wrap in cotton bandages. For a lot of the dressing changes, I mixed goldenseal root powder into the honey, then placed on the wound. I don't think that is strictly necessary... but we were determined to NOT have his toe and part of his foot amputated. The work was worth it!
I applied tea tree oil on the nail with a Q tip every other day, and after a month, it was gone! That was 3 years ago!
Tea tree oil is GREAT isn't it
@@Jennifr1966 it's the best!
I recently bought one of those foot spas that heat up and massage and I put Teatree oil in there with baking soda vinegar, etc.
@@fkgoogle666 Yep, my mom's foot doc said vinegar in the foot spa.
I'll have to try that. Thanks
Great news Lillian. I've had fungus toenails since my teens. I've felt so ugly in that respect. Sugar addiction it's a nightmare.
nowadays you can buy parasitic fungus that eat the infectious fungus, it's highly effective because it can get all under the nail bed and everywhere. own doc sells it maybe 15 dollars, it ships from cech republic I think.
I had some mild discoloration, and brittleness, with my big toe nails, and I reaslized that fungus is alive. I killed 100% of it with a magnifying glass, and the sun. Of course you dont concentrate the sun so you burn yourself, use common sense! What I did was make the sun spot from the glass, smaller and smaller until it started to sting, then I backed off a bit. I then moved the light over the entire nail, and did that a few times, with both nails. This killed ALL of the fungus.
WOW I wonder what led you to try using that method?
@@c4caffeen134 I was simply not going to have toe fungus. It is not as radical as you might think. You are not burning yourself, you are simply concentrating sunlight, just before it starts to sting a little. From the fungus point of view, it was a thermonuclear explosion.
@@glideamerica No I thought you had maybe heard that sunlight or heat might be the source of a cure, I definitely knew you weren't burning yourself =) I just would have never put that together as a possible remedy =) I have some that just started on one nail (I think my husband used my nail clippers??) I hope this works!
@@c4caffeen134 it will definitely kill all of the fungus. When I realized I was getting the fungus I was horrified. I looked online and all I could see was the pills lamisil and topical treatments and 3 to 4 months of time frame etcetera, with no guarantees. I realize that your finger is translucent like when you put a light behind your finger it will glow red. So I knew the sunlight would penetrate to the nail bed and kill the fungus. Just be careful, and use a small magnifying glass. The bigger the surface area of the glass makes all the difference in terms of how much energy is concentrated. A 5 inch diameter magnifying glass will have way more heat than a 3-inch magnifying glass. So in this case smaller is definitely better.
I spent $1200 doing the same thing with a foot doctor but with a laser that is hot. He told me there would be a 90% success rate.
I guess I was in the 10%. It didn’t work.
Your method sounds much cheaper & I could do it over & over again till it works!
Now toenail fungus. Shave off the top icky, file down even with regular surface, and apply tea tree oil. Once it looks normal keep applying it for another week until toenail grows out a bit with the new growth looking normal. TADAH! Yep been there done that as well.
🤦♀️
Lavender oil works too.
Yes tee tree oil works. It takes about a year by using it twice a day painting it onto nails and under the tip of the nail but it does work. I know because I've been applying it to a person I look after.
@@dawnfrost5374I’ve used tea tree oil for 6 months, and it didn’t help much BUT I didn’t file the nail first!!! So duh! 🤦♀️
Very wise.
FYI the best "cure" for any fungus problem with your feet is:
1. Soak your feet in vinegar every few days
2. Keep you feet dry and clean.
If there is an underlying cause making it reoccur, do what this doctor said.
To be fair though, most people could eradicate most of their health issues by just
Topical use of vinegar
Not being fat
Avoiding processed foods and sugar
Exercise
Spending at least a clear ten hour window of every day where you consume ZERO calories.
Easy to say, another thing to do.
Apple cider vinegar soak worked for me :)
It's true. I purchased a set of rubber show covers, the kind you would put over your shoes when it rains. I only have it on one foot. I pour vinegar in and slide my foot in. It's a tight fit which holds the vinegar inside. Amazing results in a few weeks, but it does take a year or so for the toenails to grow completely out
Carnivore got rid of mine. Took almost 2 years, but nails are normal now for 1st time in 40 years 😊
That's great news! Did you take dairy
Ohmygosh I've noticed mine are better since eating more meat. Wow. Thank you
Yes the nail has to grow completely out and they grow much slower with the fungus.
You have to take oregano oil internally for toenail fungus, athlete's foot, it's a natural antibiotic.
@@GinaR21212 caprylic acid is supposed to help also.
Keep saving lives Lillie!
Touring France (I'm a guitarist) in 2005 I injured a finger. Afterwards it turned out that fungus had developed in that finger, which then spread to my big gout toe. My other big toenail started to calcify. Lived with it for years and didn't pay much attention to it. After 2 years of keto, I noticed by chance that the fungus had disappeared: no trace of it could be found anymore. Wow!
I met an old friend who told boldly that two of his two big toes had been amputated and that his entire left foot would soon be removed. When I told him about my diet he laughed for a moment in complete disregard for my story. His foot is in the bin now. Sad!
With some people you can offer to show them the ocean yet they’ll resolutely remain in their mud puddle.
I have morbidly obese relatives who would prefer their arthritis, high blood pressure, acid reflux, and to replace every one of their joints accompanied by the subsequent PT than to just try Carnivore. What on earth do they have to lose?
I think certain people’s ming too long closed. Im listening to everyone even I diasgree with them. Eatitng only meat or keto I believed thats crazy or another fashion type of diet. But I had health problems at 41 I just didn’t want accept and started to look for IM fasten and then eat 90% beef. It changed my life.
Most ppl are stubborn and their own worst enemy. .
Sad. so many easy and simple solutions

I know by leaving a comment here, RUclips will keep sending me toenail fungus videos. But you can cure yellow nails, I did it after I had it from toe injuries caused my two largest toenails to get yellow. I used clear iodine off Amazon on my toenails every 1-3 days and my nails are now back to normal. However it took a lot of work, I had to really be diligent about it. I also thinned my nails with sandpaper first as much as possible so the iodine would absorb as much as possible. I also made sure to dry my toenails after taking a shower by pressing a towel into the cracks. So yeah, you can cure it, I did.
Iodine works great for killing fungus. I got a ringworm (fungus) infection and iodine rapidly cleared it up.
Great share.
I tried the clear iodine daily for probably two months or so, but it didn’t work for my yellow nails (it’s also my big toenails), and the clear iodine isn’t clear, sadly, and will leave yellow stain on fabric. I’m so glad it worked for you though!!! ❤ I think it does for many-I just wasn’t as fortunate, ha!
Oh, and what you said about commenting will make YT send you toenail fungus videos made me laugh!! 🤣
Love this doctor!! He should join Revero group with Dr. Shawn Baker!! Thank you, Lillie!
I took Diflucan 25 years ago, and it came back. I took toenail fungus meds in prison for 8 days, and it made me very ill. I know no carb would fix it, plus skin tags, eye floaters, gum disease, heart disease, blurry vision, night blindness, etc. ad nauseum
When women go through menopause it greatly changes how our bodies process vitamin D, I am a healthy,older female with an excellent diet and I work outside. My annual test just came back low again!

Awesome info! I have seen my diet completely change the health of my feet!
Yahooo!
Thank you for addressing the best magnesium to take. That has puzzled me for a long time. Also, I wanted to mention that you are right that family culture influences diet and therefore health, but I can assure you (I'm a child of a geneticist) that there is a genetic component to 'the propensity' for type 2 diabetes. A good example of this is my husband's family are nearly all pre-diabetic, or diabetic, including him, and he is in great shape and switches between low carb and carnivore for specific reasons. My family all eat badly in general, and none of us in three generations have developed type 2 diabetes. Even some of the most obese. There is a body-type that is more to it as well. Loved this episode by the way! Thanks for the intro to doctor Tom. I learned so much about how to fix my feet/nail issues.
For ppl who get constipatn, mag oxide or citrus is good to use for awhile instead of glycinate

I had this thought. It would be far cheaper to socialize healthy food for everyone, than it would be to pay for a socialized medical system. In other words, food is cheaper than hospitals.
Why not do both? If the population is healthy it won't overstress the medical system.
Because their concern is with a profit, not what’s best for us or cheaper in the long run.
Great ideas
Great idea, but their motivation is profit. sick people need a doctor.
Why would you socialize ANYTHING? Free market regenerative farming is the only way forward for healthy people, animals and our planet. "They" want us all eating bugs!
As a combat Medic, I have dealt with a lot of toenail fungus. I just want to say that many times toenail fungus is due to an injury to the nail bed. Maybe an object fell in your toe, etc. What happens is that the injury causes the nail to grow unattached to the nail bed causing the nail to become discolored, dry, and brittle. The best thing to do in such a scenario is to file or use a Dremmel tool to sand down the nail.
when I was 16, I dropped a 4x8' sheet of oak plywood on my toe, from about 3 feet up. I've had fungus since then, on that one toe. never spread. so you're saying I can dremel that down nail, then what? apply tea tree oil? I'd really like to get rid of this issue , without going to a podiatrist. Please and thank you!
@@sychosez Dremel it slowly down and use iodine or teatree oil for desinfection. Dry off your feet after showers or when they get wet (you can use a hairdryer if you have mobility problems) and give them some attention once or twice a week and scrub down the thick skin with a sandstone as mentioned in the vid. It takes some time but it will work! (took me about a year to get rid of that toenailfungus / foot fungus!)
@@sychosez what I'm saying is that you probably have a permanent injury to your nail bed. Your nail will continue to grow slightly deformed and detached from the nail bed. When this happens, you are always gonna have nail fungus. So, you manage your permanent injury by grinding down to nail as it grows in order to manage it. But, don't expect a permanent fix
Love your explanation of different types of magnesium! Best I have heard. Thank you!
I did everything Dr. Tom recommends. I ate very low carb, with excellent BG control, and still struggled with toenail fungus. However, this worked for me like a charm: daily soaks in 2 cups listerine mouthwash (caramel colored, not blue!), 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups water, and about 1/4 cup bleach. It stinks (can't do while wife is home). I did this for a couple of months and quickly saw new toenails coming in without disease. Of course it takes about 6 months for the fungus-damaged toenail to grow out. After 2 months, I decreased to at least an hour soak once/week, more when I had the chance. Now I soak once/week for maintenance. Ongoing perfect results!
I agree with all his recs and live by them, but I need the soaks to keep my toenails looking good.
Do you mean fungus keeps coming back if you don't soak?
yes, but once all your nails are clean, you can cut back to once/week.
@@BlueBlossomsBlues Yes, I think you need to keep doing it unless you're willing to throw away all your shoes and start fresh. Your toes probably keep getting re-infected form your footwear. You can also try not doing it to see if it comes back. It did for me, and now a once/week soak has kept it away for good.
Wow lilly it was such a a pleasure and you have an absolutely amazing show! What a great channel! 😁
Love your vie does Lily. All I can say is if we consider ourselves students not patients. A patient has to surrender. A student is engaged and motivated.

A few years back, I noticed black spots on my left big toe and a some on my calfs and thick skin dry on my heels, itching all over too. . I though it was harmeless and probably related to aging since I always had healthy feet and skin. On my 66 went to dr for first MCR appointment, got blood work an other woman"s testing. I got dx with pre diabetes and nutrient deficits, mainly vit D and b12, which surprised me since I am of normal bmi and my diet was not that terrible, and I was not a big sugar consumer. However, I had other issues that now I now can also elevate your DM risk besides a poor diet. Before taking any medication and after some personal research, I went into a keto diet of no more than 30mg of carbs and IF two times a day to avoid losing too much weight which happens with me very easily. I tested myself faithfully and I now know what makes my BG to spike. My pre diabetes and black spots are gone, and my feet and skin are healthy and soft again. Also all my aches and pains, that I though were age related disappeared. Great interview and information!
I saw several foot doctors over the years who all thought I had toenail fungus and they all cut my nail off each time. It would grow back the same - very thick. The last podiatrist I saw, said everyone was misdiagnosing me and that I actually don't have fungus, it's just a badly damaged nail. I'm hoping carnivore diet will help it to heal because I've tried everything else. We shall see...
Thanks Lillie and Dr Tom for all the great information
Ive done allot of research online for educational purposes and this has to be the best information I have seen on RUclips, Great Job to educate ! Thank You!
My husband has had toenail fungus his whole life. Early twenties his doctor told him he would need to have them removed and the nail beds scraped and they would'nt grow back. He had the procedure and Suffered all that pain for nothing, they grew back exactly the same way.
That means you have nail fungus too, it is highly infectious. This fungus infests the gut, that is why is difficult to fight. The gut must be treated, as well as the toes.
For the gut is Curcumin, garlic, oregano oil ,
For toes ... oregano oil , tea tree oil , clove oil

I tried all the usual prescribed meds for toenail fungus they worked for a while and then the fungus would come back, after about 2 years of this I tried applying several essential oils (most are anti fungal/bacterial and the fungus was completely gone in a matter of about 12 weeks, it is now 12mths later and still no sign of it. Some of them can also be consumed internally like peppermint and citrus, and inhaled for allergies etc. - well worth researching.

I love the thought process of the pack of cookies is a week of walking. That really freakin puts it in perspective. Damn. That really helps me out.
I totally agree with you, after taking my father to many of his apoointments, from the time they took toes, then his foot, and finally, unfortunately, I was a few hours late to potentially save him or at least be with him when he passed. I tried to introduce him to a better way of eating, making him fabulous home cooked meals with his grill and kitchen, for the same money he spent on takrout. Only for him to follow it up with a bag of Doritos and another insulin shot. I am determined to live longer for my own kids, and to show them better ways. Thank you for taking this stuff seriously and helping to educate all of us. That being said, I am also an outdoorsey, hands on person, also a guitarist, and I walk outside barefoot to great effect, as do all my family. We value our callouses. How would you recommend we keep them hydrated and soft, while still tough enough to walk on gravel, sharp rocks, and even broken glass without issue, in the case of feet, or use our fingers as wrenches to loosen and turn stuck nuts, or play guitar for hours without finger fatigue?
Tea tree oil is a great anti fungal to apply daily…just let it drop under the nail. Apple cider vinegar (must be ‘with the mother’) is also good for eliminating fungus.
I did tea tree oil for over a month it didn’t help
@@tamarawolf4095 it’s a slow process to grow off the affected area, but it stops the growth and progression quickly. You have to keep applying it over a long period until it completely grows off.
Don't you think that if you need to apply this maybe you're not well. You should eat a more healthy option. Stop looking at the calorie, carb and sugar amount in food. It's all about the quality. Consume single ingredient food. That's the answer, for example, beans, rice, milk, (organic) beef, (organic) chicken, cheese and fruit, honey, organic sugar (yes you need sugar which is why you crave it). Eat like this and you'll be a much better version of yourself.
any vinegar will work

I don't have toe nail fungus, but I did just go to my dermatologist Monday for my annual skin checkup and I mentioned my cracked and dry heels to her. She told me to get a product that has 20% urea or 12% ammonium lactate. This will help peel the dried layers off. So last night I ordered a foot peeling spray from Earth Therapeutics that has urea, it didn't say the % but the reviews were pretty decent. I hope it works well for me. 🤞I like that you are having a variety of guests on, all good topics!
Urea? Just soak your feet in piss. It's free. 😮
Am lactin sold at Costco and Walgreens is 12% .. she can also write you a script for both of those

I am 61 years old, and I have been fighting toenail fungus for over thirty years, started in my twenties. I am not diabetic, but had been eating a SAD diet until Paleo around ten years ago. I have tried every Rx and homeopathic remedy for at least three months each, many around 6 months. I even had the two large toenails removed, still grew back with fungus. I have been carnivore for 13 months, and have not seen any changes. Perhaps permanently damaged? 😢
What’s the best way to clean off the toenail at home? I have tried toenail clippers, and a rotary grinder, but it is painful.
Would red light therapy help toenail fungus? It penetrates to heal nerve endings.

I'll never get toenail fungus! It was a cold wet winter. My toes were in a wet sock and boot too much. I got it. I also cured it! It took a very long time! I'll share with you what I did but first, prevention advice!
If you have family please make sure you keep the tools you use on your ands and feet separated. We don't share a toothbrush soO...
Those with children, keep a schedule of when you tend to their feet. If theyre watching you wash and care for their feet theyll eventually know how to care for their feet themselves. Properly. Every Sunday you'll find my kids sitting on the edge of the tub trimming their toes!
This process takes a long time. The entire nail has to grow out in a healthy environment.
To wash; a dandruff shampoo. Extra strength if possible.
Gently scrub your entire foot and each toe and each nailbed to prevent and as part if the cure.
Push back the cuticle and remove any soft goo from the top of the nail bed and the from beneath. Being sure to scrape any goo from the flesh surface too.
Gently scrub each toe, then the entire foot.
Let dry completely.
File the nail back into the shape of a healthy nail. File a little bit if the healthy nail that has just grown in and the tip of the nail too.
Gently scrub the toes and foot again. Towel dry.
Apply the antifungal treatment liquid to the underside and the tops of the nails. Rubbing it in on each nail. I even use a child's toothbrush to kind of scrub the solution in . Allow to dry completely repeat application of solution.
MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR HAND/FOOT TOOLS CLEAN DRY AND SEPARATED from each other and f4om other family members.
This fungus is VERY VERY EASY TO SHARE!
GOD'S SPEED IN HEELING!
I picked up a fairly minor fungus on the bottom of my feet. I finely got rid of it by wearing silicone foot covers on my feet at night. This made my feet sweat, and that made the dead skin come off, a little every day. I ordered them on Amazon.

I had toenail fungus on my bigtoe and tried a bunch of things but what finally worked was putting a vapor rub with eucalyptus oil on it and wrapping it with a bandaid .Went away almost immediatly.Now i make sure I dry them well after a shower.
at one point i ate 800g of trout or salmon every day, and i got "too much" vitamin D according to my blood work. and that was in the winter. my doctor was concerned the summer i ate like 1,2-1,6kg per day. those vitamin D levels were very high
You lucky to be alive eating so much fish high in Mercury and who knows what else , heavy metals , very lucky
Well. Nobody talks about bad circulation in feet. That how i got mine. Circulation is i think bigger problem than people think getting fungus on toenails
Funny how much common sense plays into this. My family jokes and calls me "doctor" my responses are always that you don't need to be a doctor to see a string of evidence. My life should be proof. I'm healthy. I eat sugar and bread, but I also haven't been sick since 2018. What makes me feel bloated or sluggish is not bread or sugar it's when I eat out at restaurants. I make my own bread and food with single ingredients. I use organic sugar. I eat beef, chicken, rice, beans, drink milk and eat tons of fruit. I feel better than I did on keto for 1 year, better than when I was on carnivore for 4 years.
@@mikieemiike3979 i am carnivore , nothing comes close to carnivore. If you do it right.
@@StoneAgePHD What's your fat to protein ratio? What ever it is it's not enough fat. Lol 1 gram of protein to pound if body weight, plus fat (what ever esoteric amount that might be). Maybe you're not eating enough.. Maybe You're eating too much fat. It might be that you're eating the wrong kind of fat. Just eat stake because that has the right amount and proportions. After 4 years of being in this cult I don't think anyone is doing it right. 😂
You reported many amputations ❗️
My Dad was scheduled to have a foot cut off.
2 days b4 scheduled surgery,
he got a pkg of Slippery Elm Bark that a friend of mine sent him.
Mom made a poultice nite b4 scheduled surgery -- as my friend instructed, Mom put poultice on my Dad’s swollen ankle & foot -- hugely swollen - bigger than huge grapefruit Almost as big as a basketball Dad said.
In the morning they CANCELLED THE SURGERY. HIS ANKLE WAS BACK TO NORMAL SIZE. HE PHONED UP MY FRIEND & CALLED HER AN ANGEL 🙏🏼🙌
She was a 7th Day Adventist,
Into studying E. G. White’s Health Writings.
WOW, that's amazing. Praise the Lord. Was the slippery Elm bark in powder form? and what else did your mom use to make the poultice? TY for sharing.
7th day adventists are quacks. Read the Bible.
Fantastic content, girl!! 💖
I really needed this. You rock!
How does this doctor recommend sterilizing the pumice stone? Thank you 😊
Most of my toe nails are fine, but my left big toe got crushed a few years back when a heavy washing machine fell on it. It took a 1.5 years for it to regrow, but then it had fungus... then eventually fell off. Also my sides of my feet have bruise like patterns; I guess damage over the years with my type 2 diabetes was out of control. Lately, my a1c is from 6.0 to 7.0. Even though my type 2 diabetes is controlled; will may feet develop more bruise marks or just scares from before? Ohya, I also take Calcium + Magnesium before I got bed and chromium in the morning, I heard that helps too for diabetes. Thanks for helping inform us....
Great information! Thanks!
I have a planters wart on the bottom of my foot, doctors have "froze" it to get rid of it two different times, I've used wart medicine on it, nothing works, I'm hoping since I started ketovore, it will get better.. so far, my eyes have gotten better, and pain and stiffness are gone, I've been on it for about a year now🤞
1. Cut out a small piece of banana peel.
2. crush some fresh garlic
3. Put the crushed garlic on the the banana peel.
4. Place the banana peel on the planters wart, with the garlic covering the wart.
5. Wrap it up, so that it stays in place.
6. Do this everyday until the wart dies.
Mine died in 1 week, but I kept doing it for a while after because I was afraid it would come back. When it died, there was a chunk of dead skin. I was messing with it, and the whole thing just fell out of my foot like a plug. Did not hurt at all! It was dead. There used to be a good video here on RUclips that showed the whole process. That's where I learn about this remedy. I can no longer find the video.
@missmissy5170 oh Wow! Thank you very much! I will definitely try this because I have been battling this my whole life.🫠
Food means everything. For years they told us "eat lots of fruits & grains" Been there, done that and I was always hungry and overweight. I went low carb and lost 40 pounds without even trying! No hunger between meals. My a1c went from 5.6 to 5.1 in less than a year. Treat your refrigerator as your medicine cabinet.
Thank you!
Good video today,
A lot of good information!!!!
It is false that gout was nonexistent 100 years ago. The earliest records span back to 2600 BC and over the centuries it was becoming more prevalent, mostly among better off people. From the chat bot: "Gout became more prevalent during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly among the affluent classes who had access to diets high in purine-rich foods and alcohol. This period also saw advancements in medical understanding and treatment of the condition. The connection between gout and uric acid was discovered during this time."
Gout wasn't around 100 years ago?! Gout was first identified by the Egyptians in 2640BC. Gout has been around for a few millennia.
Wow. FASCINATING interview!!!
My mother developed toenail fungus after becoming diabetic, although she doesn't take insulin. Her doctors tried all sorts of medicines but her fungus was mostly beneath the toenail. She seldom got toenail breakage or splits. So we changed her diet, began taking cod liver pills and began a topical application of colorless Iodine. We apply it right before bed and let it soak in. It's a slow treatment depending on the severity of the fungus but most of her toenails have returned to normal.
I don't recommend taking 5k IU's of Vit D unless your doctor has prescribed it to you. Just get outside in the sun and eat the right foods.
Take D3/K2 you always take the D3 with the k2 which puts the D into your bones not your soft tissue like your arteries. You need to get D3 tested. It should be at least 80-100 ng. If your very deficient you can start out with a higher dose 20,000 IU a day for a few weeks. Can split it up a day and take with a fat to help absorb. Like after a breakfast or some real butter. Also sitting in morning sun for 10/20 minutes with sun on the skin. Don’t take the D2 which is what some drs give. Take the D3/k2 together is best. Dr Eric Berg has videos in this as other drs. Take magnesium citrate to help absorption. Up to 500 mg a day. Mag Glycinate at night helps with sleep and relaxation.
Great guest
Like this video and this sweet doctor. I wonder how to know if you have gout or a bunion. Or BOTH? I want it gone so bad. Cannot wear hardly any shoes ☹️
My lack of magnesium caused me years of heart palpitations, pac's and pvc's. Had several tests done a few times by cardiologist. He finally told me it was benign and pills he could prescribe but they posed a risk of death 😮 This was around 30 years ago and thank God he led me to an article from the great Dr. Russell Blaylock about the benefits of magnesium. I never miss taking magnesium daily OR Vit D and other nutrients from educating myself all about nutrition. Great video!
What a super helpful video! Thank you 😊
I do not understand step three: "clean off that entire nail" ??? Does this mean remove the entire nail or file off outer layer of nail or what?
Lillie looks so cute nodding away and smiling constantly. :)
I have a nail over growing over my big toe nail. Is this from wearing too narrow shoes? I did start running recently and have a wider foot in the front and narrower in the back.
I forget the specifics but someone argued fat loss is limited by oxygen intake. If you lose more weight than some amount it can only be muscle loss. I vaguely remember it was something like 0.5 kg per week and 1 kg if extremely active. If you lose more you will be replacing the muscles with fat shortly after.
All true. Get a good electric manicure rotary tool with all the different grinding tips and grind off the nail where the fungus is. It’s absolutely painless. Then use anti fungal goops & smears (rubbing alcohol, foot fungus creams, etc,…) every single day. Mine was gone in a few weeks.
Gout has been around a long time, King Henry VIII had it
Yes, it has. It's more common now, though, than it used to be.
That’s what I thought literally centuries men have been complaining of gout.
Thank you for this video!
Almost 3 years carnivore and still have toenail fungus. Have zero symptoms of diabetes (great A1C and normal blood glucose). Normal weight, live in the tropics and get ton of sunshine weekly. I've had toenail fungus for over 20 years. The only time its ever gone away was when I accidentally smashed a toe and the toenail fell off and grew back normal. Not gonna smash on purpose though haha and my toes/fingers don't stay white they're flushing normally. ALSO if I trim back some of my fungal nails they DO BLEED!!!!
Try Dr. Scholl’s Lavender Oil.
You have to get into ketosis to lose fat, plain and simple. No exceptions. That's because higher insulin levels lock up your fat stores. And the way to get insulin low is to forego carbs for extended periods. It's NOT about calorie restrictions, it's about where the calories come from.
Also, with regards to exfoliating your feet: add some vinegar to your footsoak bath. It will turn the dried up skin excess into a crumbly mass that you can rub or brush off. It's better than sanding away with a pumice stone or sandpaper because it will get to areas that you can't and shouldn't sand because you could cause real scratches into the sublayers.
Then follow up with lavender oil.
I use the lemon peel from juicing it in water to drink every morning . It does the same thing & fast !!!
I had no idea that toenail fungus was a real thing. My dad had athlete's foot and battled it for years. Never experienced any foot issues myself. I guess being a carnivore since 1983 made a difference?
Absolutely
I'm a runner and used to have athlete's foot once in a while and cured it using a plasma pen to burn the wounds 😅
You are absolutely right
Thank You for this video ❤❤
I’m carnivore 6+ months now, perfect fasting glucose and insulin, etc. Exercise and strength train daily. I don’t sleep well but doing all I know to do. Big problem with nail fungus. 😢
Make sure your socks are not synthetic. Wool blends work best. A step further would be to make sure you only wear leather shoes. There are some good grounding shoe brands that are healthy for feet! One of the simplest ways, if you aren't in a snowy area, would be to use Birkenstocks and wool socks in the cold times and open toed leather sandals in the summer. Where shoes as little as possible and get your feet into the sun. Fungus can take a while to die out so keep up that great diet! Good luck!
Add more fat in your diet for sleep.
@@InMyCups I do plenty of fat during the day with meals and also 2 Tbsp. butter before bed? Not sure I can handle anymore. 🫤
