When I worked as a nurse, I never met one doctor who spoke about "getting to the root cause" of any health problem. Each time Dr. Ekberg uploads another of his incredible videos, I'm thankful and honored to have discovered what an incredible man and human being he is. His desire and dedication in helping us understand the underlying causes of pathologies and how to help heal our bodies is a blessing to us all I am forever thankful to him for doing so.
Thanks doc. I've had toe nail fungus for probably forty years now, but with my T2 diabetes and obesity, toe nail fungus totally fell off my radar as far as things to fix. A couple of years ago, following your teachings, I totally eliminated sugar and high glycemic carbs from my diet, started fasting and exercising. I gave up Metformin and glimepiride and my A1c came down from 12.5 to 5.5, and lost about forty pounds. And now that you've put this video out, I just now looked at my toes, and SURPRISE, my toenails look much better than they have in many years. Autophagy is a true miracle! I simply cannot thank you enough!! If it were up to me, you'd be sitting on a Nobel Peace Prize.
Mix 0.5l of venigar with 1 gal of water. Make 2gal. Soak your feet in there for 45min. Do it 3 times a week. After 2 weeks, and you wait for 3 months, your new nail will be good.
@@apacur I was in a similar situation for years. Now my toenail fungus is cleared up. I eat meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, green leafy veggies, muffins/pancakes made with flax seeds/almond flour. Chaffles. All low carb. No wheat/rice/potato.
I’m now on your 2meal a day fasting 16 to18 hrs a day and in 28 days I’m down 11.5 pounds and feel great! Thanks dr. May God bless you with all his blessings!
Wow you are a true doctor. I work as an NP in the medical field and I also see a broken healthcare system especially in chronic treatment. We need more doctors like you to educate the public and take their health into their own hands for prevention and certain treatments. Thank you & keep doing what you’re doing!
Thanks Sten, I was fighting since 30 years to express what you did. I have never seen someone who explained this things so clearly. I love your lessons.
@@Fian_so The best way to learn is to listen to Sten Ekberg. The holoistic and scientific approach isn´t tought at Universities or in hospitals. If you are lucky you will find a doktor who thinks the same. Since the 80 the Rockerfeller Coorporation has a tight grip on the medical establishment ( they started i 1920) only to get the money not to cure the patient.A cured patient is of no value for them. But there are cheap cures out there. I myself are an MD PhD, and have learned this stuff by seaching and reading. In my time I was looked att as a tinfojl hat but now everthing is out there. Keep looking and be amazed.
So happy to have watched this video…have been carnivore 67 days…down 12 lbs and am noticing that my nail fungus is slowing going away…I am barefoot or wearing sandals because it’s summer but when walking for exercise my hands and feet are very warm! Must have very good circulation..Dr E you’re a very special person and what a great teacher…from a new student!
Spot on! One time I had a rash on my scalp and went to a dermatologist who prescribed a powerful, disturbing steroid lotion, which I declined. Instead I started looking at cause and realized it was that I’d started wearing wool hats in the winter time. I stopped wearing them and the rash went away. Allopathic medicine says got a symptom, take a medication, rather than addressing root causes. So grateful for Dr. Sten’s videos.
What a coincidence, didn’t think I would find a so relatable comment here! How long did it take for the rash on your scalp to be fully gone? My scalp has been hitching like crazy since the start of winter this year and my eyes were itchy as well, I blamed the dry cold air causing this. But the cold weather was also when I started wearing my merino wool beanie and supplementing with Vitamin D3. Didn’t think much about it. Further into winter, I bought myself a very nice base layer long sleeve shirt made of merino wool. A month later I now have theses rashes on my forearm. That’s when I started investigating what was going on! It’s can’t be the dry air for my arm.. it literally never happened before. So I did a couple research and discovered that wool contains a type of grease called Lanolin AND vitamin D3 is made from Lanolin. Wait am I allergic to this? I now stopped wearing my wool and taking D3. I think it’s getting better. I’ll see if everything goes back to normal soon. I have only stopped this for like 5 days now.
@@Trikevion vitamin D3 is not made from lanolin. And other fats are added to D3 because you need fats with it to absorb it. So simplify find a brand that doesn't use lanolin. Carlson's uses coconut oil, others use olive oil.
Fasting heals so many things. I have been fadting now for over 2 months, once a week for 36 hours. I have lost some weight and have noticed my toenail fungus is much better, it was not that bad to begin with.
Since I avoid Sugar completely in my diet and do everything you told in your Videos I am no longer depending on Metformin, my blood sugar is now normal and even my nail fungus almost totally went away. Greetings from Germany. You are probably the best doctor out of a million here on RUclips. Thanks 🙏
I've been watching your vids for a couple of years now and the amount of information and understanding about how our body operates has increased 100 times. At first, I had my doubts after seeing that you're a "holistic" doctor, but I was totally wrong. The knowledge that you share with us has opened my eyes to the truth about how our bodies function, how one system is dependent on every other system and how to maintain those systems to give us the best chances for optimum health. And btw, all of the medical doctors in practice now could benefit from watching your vids as a refresher course
@@petewilliams6991 root cause is usually the sugar. I think he should have emphasized that more. People don't want to give up the carbs, but if they do, the fungus goes away. That was my experience as well as others'.
@@daurelle7407 unfortunately not mine. Mine appeared when I had been sugar free for years and virtually carb free for a year. I live in flipflops all summer but it just appeared during this time.
I had fungus in one toe for 40 years. I had multiple treatments and even got my nail taken of through operation once and it still came back with fungus. For health reasons related to autoimmune issues I went carnivore three month ago and intermittened fasting came naturally because I felt so full after my meals. I realized after one month that the nail started to grow healthy suddenly and now the ugly part has nearly outgrown completely. Noone ever told me this was possible!
Love that you included the part about how stress causes our blood vessels to constrict which reduces blood circulation. Never realized poor foot circulation could be a contributing factor to why my nail has been struggling to heal. Thanks!
Thank you so much for explaining the "root cause" to all of these issues. You make everything easier to comprehend the mechanics of how our bodies work, react, & hopefully heal! Love your channel & content!❤️🔬🩺
Realized *You are the Root Cause Doctor* !!!! You are a special kind of Doctor, because most doctors doesn't go to the Root cause , they like to gloss over it . *We need more doctors like you* .
My husband has had toenail fungus for as long as I've known him. His toenails looked like they belonged to the creature from the black lagoon. He never wore sandals. His big toenails were raised up off the nailbed and were so thick he had to use a special side cut type of trimmer to trim them. Christmas eve day, he told me he didn't sleep because his toes hurt. There was a red ring around each nail where the fungus was trying to get into the rest of his system. I had tried every product on the market for him. Tea Tree couldn't knock it back. I finally watched an infomercial where the presenter claimed to have found the cure. She even told you the essential oils that she used in her product. The problem is, they diluted the essential oils to the point that they didn't work. (according to Amazon reviews) So I ordered the four essential oils and combined them in a dropper bottle. So, from mid-January until the end of March he has been putting these drops on his toes daily before he puts his socks on. His toes are NORMAL! Now, the four essential oils are Clove bud oil, Manuka oil, flaxseed oil, and lavender oil. We are very happy with the results.
Hello! I couldn’t believe it when I read your comment because I just watched a video (that popped up in my I pad) of this EXACT product! It was called Kerassential. The doctor explained the effect of these four oils…all the same ones you mentioned. However, she also said the amounts in the formula had to be so precise (which made sense) that we should ONLY but from the company website and not Amazon. I was tempted but reluctant to buy, so I did some research and found MANY complaints on the BBB website. I’m glad it worked for your husband! It just leaves me so on the fence to know what to do. 🥺
@@natashalamothe3797 I used a dropper, putting two dropperfuls of each oil in the bottle. He applies the mixed oils with the dropper. The fungus can't develop immunity to all of the different oil. His toenails have been clear for a couple of months now, but he still applies the oils. I guess he can't believe that it won't come back. We're going sandal shopping today for him.
From a nail fungus infection to understand the fundamentals of what medicine is all about !!! Impressive as we are MD specialised in dermatology top of it ! here … !!! Superbe video !!! Thank you so much. Doc ! Medicine they don’t take time to teach properly .. …
For years I had toenail fungus and walking became painful. Went to a doctor and he prescribed Lamisil. The toe fungus took a while, but my dandruff was immediately GONE. Also everything living on my skin, beneficial or not, gone. I imagine this was going on inside my body too. But the psychological effects were very strange. There was "me", then there was a second or an extension of "me" off to the left about 8" and that feeling kept increasing. Finally, I stopped taking the medicine a 2 weeks early because I felt I was losing touch with reality. After stopping, I found I had to carefully monitor the re-population of my skin with the various bacteria, etc. Some were benign, some were malevolent. The toe fungus was gone and never returned. I also managed to keep dandruff away. This was all about 25 years ago.
Excellent video. Very informative and straight to the point. I’m stopping sugar and carbs immediately. I’m sure that’s what is causing my toenail issues. I’ve become a junk food junkie over the past five years. I also have a lot of stress. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
I wear sandals all the time. What helped me the most was coating the toe nails with coconut oil after the shower. Youve helped me understand that it blocks the moisture to the fungus.
Garlic taped to the nails for 2 days twice a week. Plus use olive oil and garlic and rub on affected area. My husband's legs swelled up so much that he couldn't get shoes or his cowboy boots on. He went to 2 vascular surgeons and they had no idea what was going on and one even looked into his leg veins and could NOT find anything wrong. They didn't even consider his horrible toenail fungus had spread up his legs to his knees. I started giving him my remedies and in a few months his legs were almost down to normal size. Garlic IS the cure. Along with cutting down your intake of sugar.
I soak my feet with bleach every 3 or 4 years and it keeps fungus under control. When I was a teenager my feet smelled so bad and I tried so many cures until one day I logically said bleach kills fungus so it should work on foot fungus and it does !

Thank you Doc for your insight into the root causes of toe fungus blood sugar levels, circulation, stress. For myself brushing my toenails and drying them off perfectly dry was the new one and I have not done those and now I will.thank you Doc!
Yes! I use to brush my toenails pretty frequently with my pedicures. I’ve since stopped and noticed one of my big toenail grew a fungus for the first time ever in my life. Thankfully it’s healing. I’m back to brushing my toenails with a brush, using tea tree oil on my toes at night before bed, will start keeping my toe nails cut shorter, and have been more conscious to cut down my sugar intake. All of this Sugar in majority of the food that we eat is the worst! Just so bad for our bodies as a whole. 👣❤️🩹
I cured mine (small corner of the toe) pretty much in a 40-day water fasting period. I did a prolonged fasting to address other problems, but the nail fungus clear-up came as a bonus
@@snowyowl6892 Count me in! I did a 4o day water only fast, for spiritual reasons... some decades ago! It was miraculous, and hard to convey. After five days, I was no longer hungry at all, and after two weeks, I was mentally flying like a rocket. Clarity to the extreme, feeling powerful and completely happy inside and out.... it was a true journey into my inner world. Did not lose much weight, actually... I am normal and strong/healthy all the time! People should not do this as a beginner. It is recommended to start with 3, then 7, then 21, then 40 days. Not all in a row, mind you, lol.... put some break time between these. I'd say the first two can be done within a 3 month window, after that, maybe 6 more months for the 21 day, then a year before going for the 40 days. We need to "digest" the experience not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually. Consider it a quest. (Of our own inner Holy Grail???)
@@velvetpaws999 Your post could have been mine, almost to the letter. Successive shorter fasts culminating in a 7 day which just kept extending and extending. Did it on the strength of a bit of internet research. Funny thing … I hardly drank any water … walked every day (worked for the first 3 weeks) … my body seemed to become a closed system, perfectly easy about the experience. it did not seem to be a big deal. I lost no weight either .. but my eyes returned to a brighter blue . I am sure that you could cure cancer (even late stage) with this simple protocol. needless to say, I had to run the gauntlet of a horrified doctor … but she could find nothing to panic about; so just decided I was a bit soft in the head. It certainly was confirmation that our body and all its individual cells and systems have their own intelligence and consciousness. My body was just delighted that I stopped shoving endless quantities of food into it - so it could finally focus on clearing out the rubbish. So glad you posted 🤗 Blessings 💖
@@MeMe-dw1sm I did the long fast on the strength of a woman with serious cancer, virtually gone (given 1 week to live). A naturopath took her to his home where he and his wife fasted her on water only FOR 68 DAYS ! She completely recovered. The simplicity of it. Astounding. ALWAYS research till something rings true. btw Big Pharma-educated doctors will be replaced by a new breed. ‘Bout time. (many PARKINSON sufferers are simply Vit B12 deficient … YIKES! )
You are so incredibly knowledgeable… blessed to have come across your incredible channel… thanks for giving to us all… as a true doctor was meant to be
Drs and big pharma wouldn't make any money if they addressed the root cause. Thank you Dr Ekberg for your bold courage and for speaking truth. I always learn so much from your videos! We are thankful for you. God bless
It's not MDs and pharma only, you can blame the 🚬, 🍻 and food industry as well. Why to fix a problem, if you can treat the symptoms? There is also an addiction problem: 🚬,🍻, sugar and other drugs. Addicts simply have a wrong mind setting, and for sure they haven't understood the concept of receptor downregulation. Otherwise, they might understand that drug abuse is pointless. Addicts also won't change habits / mind setting, but rather take some pills to fix symptoms.
Yeah they would! In a competitive market any person who actually cures a disease would capture the market and get all the money. This is why the wheels stay on our cars and our cellphone don't fall apart when we use them. We need competitive medical care with payer responsibility.
@@johnzeegler8641 I constantly find myself reminding people that we DO NOT live in a capitalist society. You are totally wrong though: capitalism is the solution! We live in a system in which private profits are not earned; they are obtained through government largess. In a competitive market any person who actually cures a disease would capture the market and get all the money. This is why the wheels stay on our cars and our cellphones don't fall apart when we use them, etc, etc. We need competitive medical care with payer responsibility and quit allowing 50% of health being paid for by government, endless red tape and gov't control across State lines, etc. Sorry, Lefty!
That clear writing board is brilliant facing us while your writing . I’ve worked Special Effects on 4-Movies. Your Videos are getting better and better. Right on Doc. 💪
I've been able to turn athlete's foot on and off for years....stop eating sugar works every time. Dr. Stan is the 1st one I've ever heard make the correlation. The toes are like the canary in a coal mine. That is why the keto diet is so helpful, it's tough but the sugar is the devil.
You might only get so far with keto, and I speak from experience. Sugar may only be part of the problem, I had to remove lectins from my diet to totally clear my nails. Keto cleared most of it but 20% remained at the end of the nail/toe.
I've followed Dr Ekberg's advice on diet for only six months. I'm 48, and have gone back to having the physique I had in my 20's, if not better. I'm constantly getting compliments from people who haven't seen me for a while, and this is so beneficial for my self esteem. All this free of charge! I love this guy, and I'm spreading the word to friends and family.
I’ve been following Dr. Ekberg for over a year. I’ve been on and off a 5/2 IF since then, 2MAD when not fasting, and quit bread and most sugars (I love bread and beer - was able to give up bread completely). I also try to walk a little over three miles a day (that’s how far the road goes). Last week I went to get a reflex (foot) massage with my wife. The foot massagers thought I was 59, and were shocked when my told them I was 77. Good genes and a great doctor! I love that the great doctor does not simplify the chemistry, the hormonal, and holistic interactions between the different parts of the body. I walk away feeling like I just left a Masters seminar. I wish MD’s could get CEU for continuing education watching his videos.
@Billy Keeling It depends why you are dieting. Since I want to lose weight I follow Dr. Ekberg’s and Dr. Fung’s (a nephrologist vlogger) recommendations on Intermittent Fasting (IF). Both doctors also recommend cutting out processed foods, sugar, and carb generally speaking. You really should watch Dr. Ekberg’s videos though, as he explains in a no nonsense way without a lot of the usual background clutter other vloggers add just to make their videos longer. Dr. Ekberg really pinpoints how different substances (not just food) affect each of the relevant body processes.
He is a real helper for those who are being missleaded by the media that doesn't talk about our real problems and solutions supporting the gigantic industry of Medicine that only treat the symptoms and not the cause. Thank you for all these very helpful information you provide on your channel.
Dr. Ekberg: Your discussion, illustrations, and suggestions are basic, but consumately logical and easy to incorporate into our individual personal care. I LOVE your clear illustration board and your very legible hand written notes. Great work! - Jim
I totally agree with you. I have never ever once had any doctor address root cause of what's happening in my body and I'm almost 74 years of age. Dr. Ekberg is awesome
Esté señor no es un Doctor . Es un sabio ! ! ! Tiene toda la VERDAD en lo que dice ! Le doy Gracias a Dios que por años encontré al fin las respuestas a mis preguntas ! 😅
I explained exactly these reasons for fungal infections in my lectures to hundreds of diabetics many years ago, when I was still working as a nurse and podiatrist - in a state specialist clinic in Germany. once a week i had a fully booked lecture hall, and doctors also gradually came along. after the end of the lecture, i did a foot inspection and sorted out the patients who needed an appointment with me to get their feet and nails back into good shape.
Thanks, great video again. I had an amazing GP until 3 years ago. She gave similar advice for dealing with toe fungus but also suggested salt water foot baths.
Her doctor said it was okay, so I used 50/50 iodine/water sprayed on my mother's feet a few times a week and her toenails began to grow in perfectly. They were horrible looking but within 3 weeks, 3 of her nails were perfect and we could see that the other nails were growing the bad stuff off leaving healthy nails.
@@moniquehorton1111 sorry I can’t 100% remember, but I think I did it straight oregano oil. After I cut all the dead skin back I dabbed little bits at a time of the oil. I maybe did that two to three times over two weeks and tried to keep it exposed to air. Maybe use a carrier oil to be safe?
I had toenail fungus that was very difficult to get rid of. So I tried a variety of things this past summer. Keeping toenails trimmed and clean is very important. getting out in the summer sun for at least 30 minutes is very helpful and wearing sandles as much as possible too. I tried tea tree oil to start. But that didn't get rid of it. Next I tried alternating between using the medical grade Povidone iodine all over and between my toes and even under the nails letting it dry. Then I washed them down with hydrogen peroxide. These two antiseptics killed any possible pathogen on my toes and nails. Then I washed and rinsed my feet with soap and warm water to remove the iodine stains. The next day I took a Q tip soaked in bleach to rub on the dark nails. Doing this several times eventually lightened the nail to make it look more natural. I repeated this routine a week later giving the nails time to recover from the first treatment. Now the nails look pretty normal all with topical cheap treatments with no medications and no side effects!👍
Thank You Tina Tam so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel and and helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
@@drekberg @DrTomBiernacki hi doctor ive had swelling on my LEFT ankle for years, it comes and go, and theres pain like inflamattion on my LEFT ankle, i also feel numbness on my LEFT foot and itchy on upper part of LEFT foot sometimes. What is it?
I had horrific toenail fungus it was so bad that my nails are raised up off the nail bed my toenails were growing weird and they were this brown yellowish color so I've been putting castor oil on my feet for the past 2 weeks it's amazing my toes look like toes again my feet are soft and all the dead skin is gone and that's saying something because I stayed Barefoot for 30 years who knew castor oil can do such miraculous things
I saw a remedy just 30 minutes ago for equal amounts of baking soda and caster oil to rub on my 3 toe nails with fungus. I got it at the hospital where I gave birth my daughter is 24 now, I have tried but it won't go away. Now I have hope thank you. No sugar means no fungus.
Toenail fungus and vision issues are how I figured out I was IR. I was slow to get it but I worked it backwards. This vid pretty much says what you are asking. IR=high blood sugar. Fungus, among other things, likes sugar and low oxygen.
Thks Doc. Your explanation was helpful. I have been changing many of my self-care. And have applied Tea Tree Oil on toes often for 3 months….and filing the worst toe nail. I will continue. Won’t take internal meds. So grateful for your video.
I did mostly everything he talks about and had some success, but what I think helped even more was putting liquid iodine all over my toe nails after showering and rubbing it throughly regularly for about 6 weeks. My nails were a little yellow and now they are whiter and clearer. Still doing my treatments, not quite there yet, but it is getting better......
Not only have I learned about toenail fungus, but I've also learned how to improve circulation and my immune system and reduce stress!! Dr. Ekberg is awesome. Thank you so much.
Try Vicks vapor rub. It heals ridges on the fingernails by helping to keep the cuticle attached to the nail bed. I think the nail is permiable to the menthol and eucalyptus. Goes right through. It's helping with a nail discoloration for me. I'm living in a situation where there's a lot of fungus and I don't have access to soap and water to clean the hands thoroughly all the time so this is my solution to that. Someone suggested it on another website so I tried it and I'm liking it. It smells good too.
Hello Dr. Sten, I don't eat any processed sugar but I do eat lots of fruits. Is it really ok to eat fruits or i should also stop fruits for nail fungus? Or please advise how should I take fruits if I have to. I am on very healthy diet for last 4 years, doing intermittent fasting (16hrs), eating only healthy stuff. I eat cooked food for lunch (No whites, no grains) and usually eat fruits in the evening as my dinner. Your videos are blessings and Thanks for putting out all the good work ! 🙏🙏
I’ve had toenail fungus on my pinky toe for 15 years. I’ve always been able to keep it a bay with tea tree oil but it’s never healed. I recently used tinactin and it’s really helped dramatically. I highly suggest trying it 👍
Hola doctor gracias por sus consejos ya tengo 56 años he tenido hongos en mis pies casi toda mi vida, pero ha sido muy vergonzoso bendiciones le saludo desde Nicaragua
I wish you would get to the point quicker. It is difficult to attend to the whole thing. I tried many times with your videos but most of the time I left before the end
You can speed up the video. Click on the video. Click on the gear icon which is sometimes covered by "HD". click on "change speed". I usually select 1.25, but Dr. Sten speaks so clearly I can understand him perfectly at 1.5. it might take a few times to get used to doing this, but after several videos you will be wondering why you would watch a video at regular speed again. P.S. this doesn't work very well with relaxation videos! Lol!
Yes we are blessed to have him and few other docs, basically for free. Best , those who I listen most often speak in very similar way, and it is not coincident, it is Gods work helping me to recover , God bless all and stay strong
Im convinced Doc has the cure for cancer.... I've never seen such a intelligent Doctor, You are really awesome& added many years to many human lives with knowledge. Thanks Doc, really appreciate.
There's been a cure for cancer for Many, Many YEARS, No one makes a lot of money if cancer is cured,So they're Not telling,The greed in our country is so awful 😞
You are one of those amazing doctors in the US as well as Canada who advocate intermittent fasting and keto. I in fact some great doctors don't encourage pure keto, but IF they do. It's effects on body are amazing. As a Muslim I've all my life fasted 30 days a year and knew its spiritual value. Lately after listening to you Good people I read the reasons to fasting other than spiritual and turned out that all you say is in consonance with what I read in the scriptures. In fact alongside fasting there's a recommendation to eat less that needed; 2/3rd actually of the need. It'll keep the body healthy with minimum ailments.
I’m glad you are learning there is truth in the non Muslim world. Now watch Robert Spencer , Cira international , Jay Smith and many apologists who can show you mo is not the man you want to follow .
Thank you dr.Ekberg for this detailed information in a simple easy to understand. I wish all the medical doctors get this line of thinking and problem solving , dive into the root cause of the symptoms and treat it instead of prescribing medications to hide the symptoms.
I have not tried tea tree oil but I have brushed on decolorized iodine twice daily and that greatly helped on nail infection on my finger. But I have one toe infected so I’ll try tea tree oil. Bless you Dr for all you do to educate the rest of us when the conventional medical system has no clue. I am so off sugar and I look for sugar added to foods. Reading labels is a total eye opener, all thanks to education from you.
I have had an amazing result using essential oils. For another reason, I had applied a mixture of a carrier oil with a drop of tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, and others, every night before sleeping to my feet + wearing loose socks on top. The fungus was gone before I even realized it. It was great seeing the line separating the healthy and sick nail. But as Dr. Ekberg explains, it's about a wholistic approach and tackling the root causes for long term results.
In addition to Dr. Ekberg's amazing knowledge share, I'd like to add that I clean my nail clippers with isopropyl alcohol after clipping an infected nail. Just dip a q-tip in alcohol and wipe the clippers before using on another nail. I also put a drop or two of tea trea oil under the infected nail, every day after I brushed my teeth, made it part of my morning routine. I also had peridontal disease and had to really clean up my oral care by flossing twice a day, water flossing, brushing and salt water rinses. I also stopped eating processed sugar and products. Like Dr. Ekberg said, persistence is the key. It took about a year for my infected nails to regrow and clear with my regimen.

Great video! I've been having issues with gout and foot inflammation. I was on the Keto diet/intermittent fasting and the problems went away. Went back to eating junk and the same problems came back. I'm on Carnivore now and all is back to normal. I'm hoping that by not consuming carbs and sugar my toe nail fungus goes away. All this info makes a lot of sense
You're a Carnivore? That sounds so gross. Meat n fat, meat n fat. That's adkins on steroids. No way in this world I'm giving up vegetables for slaughtered animals.
Thank you so very much Doc!! Very very helpful. I've never encounter any professional that would take the time to explain the root causes and furthermore the possible solutions! God bless you!
Great video. The 'root cause' that is detailed here is 'at the root' of most body 'Diss-Ease' (disease). This approach to well-being has the wonderful 'side effect' of alleviating MANY symptoms. (not just toe fungus)
*I'm now following your 2-meal-a-day plan, fasting 16 to 18 hours daily, and in just 28 days, I'm down 10 pounds and feel amazing! Thank you, Dr. May God bless you with all His blessings* 🙏☝
I found out by accident that taking high dose vitamin C also gets rid of toe fungus. I was taking around 15,000 mg vitamin C daily for treatment of pretty severe allergies (using a buffered vitamin C and liposomal vitamin C), and all of a sudden my yellowed toe nails were turning pretty pink as they grew out. Now they are totally pink and healthy looking.
@@laurenharper1510 what I personally use most is “C-Salts” buffered vitamin c and Nutriflair liposomal vitamin c. I also used Solaray buffered vitamin c and LivOn liposomal c.
I suffered from toenail fungus on eight of my 10 toes. I tried all of the topical treatments that I could find including Epson salts, tea, oil, peroxide, vinegar, etc. nothing worked! I found the only thing that would get rid of. It was having my nails ground or deburred, use a laser treatment, and then put a tropical on that could penetrate the nail. I happen to use Jublia. After suffering from this for months, this worked on seven of the eight infected toenails. I now realized that my blood sugar probably also was planning a major role. So I’ve got my blood sugar down considerably. It looks like my nail is starting to clear up but as the doctor says, it’s gonna take probably 18 months for me to see complete improvement by the wayI found out I was allergic to Lamisil.
This is true. I do breathing exercises, I take the deepest breath possible during a count to 5. I then hold my breath for a count to 5, and then exhale for a count of 5. I do this for about 10 minutes, and my feet and hands get really warm, close to the point of sweating. By the way, it also helps to clear my lungs.
When I worked as a nurse, I never met one doctor who spoke about "getting to the root cause" of any health problem. Each time Dr. Ekberg uploads another of his incredible videos, I'm thankful and honored to have discovered what an incredible man and human being he is. His desire and dedication in helping us understand the underlying causes of pathologies and how to help heal our bodies is a blessing to us all I am forever thankful to him for doing so.
I totally agree.
And he is sooo honest and sympathetic as well.
Best wishes from Germany.

Thanks doc. I've had toe nail fungus for probably forty years now, but with my T2 diabetes and obesity, toe nail fungus totally fell off my radar as far as things to fix. A couple of years ago, following your teachings, I totally eliminated sugar and high glycemic carbs from my diet, started fasting and exercising. I gave up Metformin and glimepiride and my A1c came down from 12.5 to 5.5, and lost about forty pounds. And now that you've put this video out, I just now looked at my toes, and SURPRISE, my toenails look much better than they have in many years. Autophagy is a true miracle! I simply cannot thank you enough!! If it were up to me, you'd be sitting on a Nobel Peace Prize.
Mix 0.5l of venigar with 1 gal of water. Make 2gal. Soak your feet in there for 45min. Do it 3 times a week. After 2 weeks, and you wait for 3 months, your new nail will be good.
What do you eat in a typical day?
Autophagy is a normal process that everyone hasbhappen it's not a miracle you simp
@@apacur I was in a similar situation for years. Now my toenail fungus is cleared up. I eat meat, eggs, cheese, nuts, green leafy veggies, muffins/pancakes made with flax seeds/almond flour. Chaffles. All low carb. No wheat/rice/potato.
@@tonymai1844 I'm doing similar with Listerine mouthwash which I've read good things about.

Wow you are a true doctor. I work as an NP in the medical field and I also see a broken healthcare system especially in chronic treatment.
We need more doctors like you to educate the public and take their health into their own hands for prevention and certain treatments. Thank you & keep doing what you’re doing!
Politician driven healthcare...what could possibly go wrong? EVERYTHING!!! Nobody named Obama has had to suffer under Obamacare!!!
I love the way Dr Ekberg treats his watchers as intelligent beings instead of glossing over the medical info or oversimplying the language he uses.
Iv started using oil of oregano. and I am now winning the cattle. I use castor oil to and my feet look like my feet again.
I have been your fan for the last year. You are my hero. I have lost weight via keto and feel alive again. Bless you for all you have shared with us.
Thanks Sten, I was fighting since 30 years to express what you did. I have never seen someone who explained this things so clearly. I love your lessons.
Hi there any leads on where to learn and master this unfamiliar knowledge ? As an MD
@@Fian_so The best way to learn is to listen to Sten Ekberg. The holoistic and scientific approach isn´t tought at Universities or in hospitals. If you are lucky you will find a doktor who thinks the same. Since the 80 the Rockerfeller Coorporation has a tight grip on the medical establishment ( they started i 1920) only to get the money not to cure the patient.A cured patient is of no value for them. But there are cheap cures out there. I myself are an MD PhD, and have learned this stuff by seaching and reading. In my time I was looked att as a tinfojl hat but now everthing is out there. Keep looking and be amazed.
Once doctor literally meant teacher, I am told...
I agree, he’s the best. He’s my go to guy for any holistic issue.
So happy to have watched this video…have been carnivore 67 days…down 12 lbs and am noticing that my nail fungus is slowing going away…I am barefoot or wearing sandals because it’s summer but when walking for exercise my hands and feet are very warm! Must have very good circulation..Dr E you’re a very special person and what a great teacher…from a new student!
Spot on! One time I had a rash on my scalp and went to a dermatologist who prescribed a powerful, disturbing steroid lotion, which I declined. Instead I started looking at cause and realized it was that I’d started wearing wool hats in the winter time. I stopped wearing them and the rash went away. Allopathic medicine says got a symptom, take a medication, rather than addressing root causes. So grateful for Dr. Sten’s videos.
What a coincidence, didn’t think I would find a so relatable comment here! How long did it take for the rash on your scalp to be fully gone?
My scalp has been hitching like crazy since the start of winter this year and my eyes were itchy as well, I blamed the dry cold air causing this. But the cold weather was also when I started wearing my merino wool beanie and supplementing with Vitamin D3.
Didn’t think much about it.
Further into winter, I bought myself a very nice base layer long sleeve shirt made of merino wool. A month later I now have theses rashes on my forearm. That’s when I started investigating what was going on! It’s can’t be the dry air for my arm.. it literally never happened before. So I did a couple research and discovered that wool contains a type of grease called Lanolin AND vitamin D3 is made from Lanolin. Wait am I allergic to this?
I now stopped wearing my wool and taking D3. I think it’s getting better. I’ll see if everything goes back to normal soon. I have only stopped this for like 5 days now.
I get that if I wear any fabric with a scratchy texture or a label on the back of my neck.
Once, my doctor told me stress was causing my wrist to itch, I finally figured out it was a perfume I applied at my wrists
@@Trikevion vitamin D3 is not made from lanolin. And other fats are added to D3 because you need fats with it to absorb it. So simplify find a brand that doesn't use lanolin. Carlson's uses coconut oil, others use olive oil.
😮
I started fasting March 3rd and along with my 50lbs weight loss I noticed that my toe fungus is healing. Thank you Dr.
Fasting heals so many things. I have been fadting now for over 2 months, once a week for 36 hours. I have lost some weight and have noticed my toenail fungus is much better, it was not that bad to begin with.

I've been watching your vids for a couple of years now and the amount of information and understanding about how our body operates has increased 100 times. At first, I had my doubts after seeing that you're a "holistic" doctor, but I was totally wrong. The knowledge that you share with us has opened my eyes to the truth about how our bodies function, how one system is dependent on every other system and how to maintain those systems to give us the best chances for optimum health. And btw, all of the medical doctors in practice now could benefit from watching your vids as a refresher course
good remedy but still not getting to the root cause
😀
@@petewilliams6991 root cause is usually the sugar. I think he should have emphasized that more. People don't want to give up the carbs, but if they do, the fungus goes away. That was my experience as well as others'.
Don't assume they ever knew ....medical school is all about using pharmaceuticals
@@daurelle7407 unfortunately not mine. Mine appeared when I had been sugar free for years and virtually carb free for a year. I live in flipflops all summer but it just appeared during this time.

I had fungus in one toe for 40 years. I had multiple treatments and even got my nail taken of through operation once and it still came back with fungus. For health reasons related to autoimmune issues I went carnivore three month ago and intermittened fasting came naturally because I felt so full after my meals. I realized after one month that the nail started to grow healthy suddenly and now the ugly part has nearly outgrown completely. Noone ever told me this was possible!

Baking soda number one
Perfect😊
I still do not understand as with myself also. It's one or two toes. Why not all ??
In time it spŕeads
Love that you included the part about how stress causes our blood vessels to constrict which reduces blood circulation. Never realized poor foot circulation could be a contributing factor to why my nail has been struggling to heal. Thanks!

I like your sense of humor. I have never had toe fungus but very curious why some people do. Thank you!
Realized *You are the Root Cause Doctor* !!!!
You are a special kind of Doctor, because most doctors doesn't go to the Root cause ,
they like to gloss over it . *We need more doctors like you* .
My husband has had toenail fungus for as long as I've known him. His toenails looked like they belonged to the creature from the black lagoon. He never wore sandals. His big toenails were raised up off the nailbed and were so thick he had to use a special side cut type of trimmer to trim them. Christmas eve day, he told me he didn't sleep because his toes hurt. There was a red ring around each nail where the fungus was trying to get into the rest of his system. I had tried every product on the market for him. Tea Tree couldn't knock it back. I finally watched an infomercial where the presenter claimed to have found the cure. She even told you the essential oils that she used in her product. The problem is, they diluted the essential oils to the point that they didn't work. (according to Amazon reviews) So I ordered the four essential oils and combined them in a dropper bottle.
So, from mid-January until the end of March he has been putting these drops on his toes daily before he puts his socks on. His toes are NORMAL! Now, the four essential oils are Clove bud oil, Manuka oil, flaxseed oil, and lavender oil. We are very happy with the results.
Hi, what were the measurements for each?
Thank you
Thank you so much.
Hello! I couldn’t believe it when I read your comment because I just watched a video (that popped up in my I pad) of this EXACT product! It was called Kerassential. The doctor explained the effect of these four oils…all the same ones you mentioned. However, she also said the amounts in the formula had to be so precise (which made sense) that we should ONLY but from the company website and not Amazon. I was tempted but reluctant to buy, so I did some research and found MANY complaints on the BBB website. I’m glad it worked for your husband! It just leaves me so on the fence to know what to do. 🥺
@@natashalamothe3797 I used a dropper, putting two dropperfuls of each oil in the bottle. He applies the mixed oils with the dropper. The fungus can't develop immunity to all of the different oil. His toenails have been clear for a couple of months now, but he still applies the oils. I guess he can't believe that it won't come back. We're going sandal shopping today for him.

For years I had toenail fungus and walking became painful. Went to a doctor and he prescribed Lamisil. The toe fungus took a while, but my dandruff was immediately GONE. Also everything living on my skin, beneficial or not, gone. I imagine this was going on inside my body too.
But the psychological effects were very strange. There was "me", then there was a second or an extension of "me" off to the left about 8" and that feeling kept increasing. Finally, I stopped taking the medicine a 2 weeks early because I felt I was losing touch with reality.
After stopping, I found I had to carefully monitor the re-population of my skin with the various bacteria, etc. Some were benign, some were malevolent.
The toe fungus was gone and never returned. I also managed to keep dandruff away. This was all about 25 years ago.
We need doctors just like you 👏. 👏 Courageous
I salute you!!!!❤
well done.
Excellent video. Very informative and straight to the point. I’m stopping sugar and carbs immediately. I’m sure that’s what is causing my toenail issues. I’ve become a junk food junkie over the past five years. I also have a lot of stress. Thank you Dr. Ekberg.
Amigo, how are you doing with your new lifestyle, did it work out?
I wear sandals all the time. What helped me the most was coating the toe nails with coconut oil after the shower. Youve helped me understand that it blocks the moisture to the fungus.
This Man is a Beautiful gift to Humanity...

True!
Garlic taped to the nails for 2 days twice a week. Plus use olive oil and garlic and rub on affected area. My husband's legs swelled up so much that he couldn't get shoes or his cowboy boots on. He went to 2 vascular surgeons and they had no idea what was going on and one even looked into his leg veins and could NOT find anything wrong. They didn't even consider his horrible toenail fungus had spread up his legs to his knees. I started giving him my remedies and in a few months his legs were almost down to normal size. Garlic IS the cure. Along with cutting down your intake of sugar.
I soak my feet with bleach every 3 or 4 years and it keeps fungus under control. When I was a teenager my feet smelled so bad and I tried so many cures until one day I logically said bleach kills fungus so it should work on foot fungus and it does !

Great video. I’m going to show this one to my husband. He recently developed tor fungus and is type 2 diabetic. Thanks for the info Dr.
His videos on type 2 diabetes are incredible. My dad now has an a1c of 5.0 because of them with no medications or insulin, just diet and fasting.
I cured mine (small corner of the toe) pretty much in a 40-day water fasting period. I did a prolonged fasting to address other problems, but the nail fungus clear-up came as a bonus
I did a 40 Day water fast also - we will have to start a mutual admiration society !!
We are a rare breed 🤗👍🥳
@@snowyowl6892 Count me in! I did a 4o day water only fast, for spiritual reasons... some decades ago! It was miraculous, and hard to convey. After five days, I was no longer hungry at all, and after two weeks, I was mentally flying like a rocket. Clarity to the extreme, feeling powerful and completely happy inside and out.... it was a true journey into my inner world. Did not lose much weight, actually... I am normal and strong/healthy all the time!
People should not do this as a beginner. It is recommended to start with 3, then 7, then 21, then 40 days. Not all in a row, mind you, lol.... put some break time between these. I'd say the first two can be done within a 3 month window, after that, maybe 6 more months for the 21 day, then a year before going for the 40 days. We need to "digest" the experience not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually. Consider it a quest. (Of our own inner Holy Grail???)
@@velvetpaws999
Your post could have been mine, almost to the letter. Successive shorter fasts culminating in a 7 day which just kept extending and extending. Did it on the strength of a bit of internet research. Funny thing … I hardly drank any water … walked every day (worked for the first 3 weeks) … my body seemed to become a closed system, perfectly easy about the experience. it did not seem to be a big deal. I lost no weight either .. but my eyes returned to a brighter blue .
I am sure that you could cure cancer (even late stage) with this simple protocol.
needless to say, I had to run the gauntlet of a horrified doctor … but she could find nothing to panic about; so just decided I was a bit soft in the head.
It certainly was confirmation that our body and all its individual cells and systems have their own intelligence and consciousness. My body was just delighted that I stopped shoving endless quantities of food into it - so it could finally focus on clearing out the rubbish.
So glad you posted 🤗

LOL I constantly find myself having to remind people of that very thing. We are in a capitalist society and enduring this Pharmaceutical holocaust.
That’s why so many MDs are moving to functional medicine.
It's not MDs and pharma only, you can blame the 🚬, 🍻 and food industry as well. Why to fix a problem, if you can treat the symptoms? There is also an addiction problem: 🚬,🍻, sugar and other drugs. Addicts simply have a wrong mind setting, and for sure they haven't understood the concept of receptor downregulation. Otherwise, they might understand that drug abuse is pointless. Addicts also won't change habits / mind setting, but rather take some pills to fix symptoms.
Yeah they would! In a competitive market any person who actually cures a disease would capture the market and get all the money. This is why the wheels stay on our cars and our cellphone don't fall apart when we use them. We need competitive medical care with payer responsibility.

Since I have gone on Keto and intermittment fasting, my toenails are growing out with NO microbe damage. The sugar is so toxic.
I've been able to turn athlete's foot on and off for years....stop eating sugar works every time. Dr. Stan is the 1st one I've ever heard make the correlation. The toes are like the canary in a coal mine. That is why the keto diet is so helpful, it's tough but the sugar is the devil.
Same. Processed sugar(and most other processed "food") is just packaged poison. Real food nourishes and heals us. That garbage does the opposite.
You might only get so far with keto, and I speak from experience. Sugar may only be part of the problem, I had to remove lectins from my diet to totally clear my nails. Keto cleared most of it but 20% remained at the end of the nail/toe.

I’ve been following Dr. Ekberg for over a year. I’ve been on and off a 5/2 IF since then, 2MAD when not fasting, and quit bread and most sugars (I love bread and beer - was able to give up bread completely). I also try to walk a little over three miles a day (that’s how far the road goes). Last week I went to get a reflex (foot) massage with my wife. The foot massagers thought I was 59, and were shocked when my told them I was 77. Good genes and a great doctor!
I love that the great doctor does not simplify the chemistry, the hormonal, and holistic interactions between the different parts of the body. I walk away feeling like I just left a Masters seminar. I wish MD’s could get CEU for continuing education watching his videos.
New watcher. What is his diet recommendations
@Billy Keeling It depends why you are dieting. Since I want to lose weight I follow Dr. Ekberg’s and Dr. Fung’s (a nephrologist vlogger) recommendations on Intermittent Fasting (IF). Both doctors also recommend cutting out processed foods, sugar, and carb generally speaking. You really should watch Dr. Ekberg’s videos though, as he explains in a no nonsense way without a lot of the usual background clutter other vloggers add just to make their videos longer. Dr. Ekberg really pinpoints how different substances (not just food) affect each of the relevant body processes.
I am not able to stop with sugar, cake and ice cream.
Exactly the same happened to me and I’m in my seventieth:)) absolutely treasure his advise 😊
I am absolutely thrilled that this video was in my recommendations! Very enlightening!

I had toenail fungus that was very difficult to get rid of. So I tried a variety of things this past summer. Keeping toenails trimmed and clean is very important.
getting out in the summer sun for at least 30 minutes is very helpful and wearing sandles as much as possible too. I tried tea tree oil to start. But that didn't get rid of it. Next I tried alternating between using the medical grade Povidone iodine all over and between my toes and even under the nails letting it dry. Then I washed them down with hydrogen peroxide. These two antiseptics killed any possible pathogen on my toes and nails. Then I washed and rinsed my feet with soap and warm water to remove the iodine stains. The next day I took a Q tip soaked in bleach to rub on the dark nails. Doing this several times eventually lightened the nail to make it look more natural. I repeated this routine a week later giving the nails time to recover from the first treatment. Now the nails look pretty normal all with topical cheap treatments with no medications and no side effects!👍
Thanks for sharing!! Great job!

I saw a remedy just 30 minutes ago for equal amounts of baking soda and caster oil to rub on my 3 toe nails with fungus. I got it at the hospital where I gave birth my daughter is 24 now, I have tried but it won't go away. Now I have hope thank you. No sugar means no fungus.
You said fungus feeds off our blood sugars so is there a connection between toenail fungus and insulin resistance? Can we get a video on this?
Toenail fungus and vision issues are how I figured out I was IR. I was slow to get it but I worked it backwards. This vid pretty much says what you are asking. IR=high blood sugar. Fungus, among other things, likes sugar and low oxygen.
I use bismuth salt (nitrate) . Works the best.
Thks Doc. Your explanation was helpful. I have been changing many of my self-care. And have applied Tea Tree Oil on toes often for 3 months….and filing the worst toe nail. I will continue. Won’t take internal meds. So grateful for your video.
I did mostly everything he talks about and had some success, but what I think helped even more was putting liquid iodine all over my toe nails after showering and rubbing it throughly regularly for about 6 weeks. My nails were a little yellow and now they are whiter and clearer. Still doing my treatments, not quite there yet, but it is getting better......
Not only have I learned about toenail fungus, but I've also learned how to improve circulation and my immune system and reduce stress!! Dr. Ekberg is awesome. Thank you so much.

Try Vicks vapor rub. It heals ridges on the fingernails by helping to keep the cuticle attached to the nail bed. I think the nail is permiable to the menthol and eucalyptus. Goes right through. It's helping with a nail discoloration for me. I'm living in a situation where there's a lot of fungus and I don't have access to soap and water to clean the hands thoroughly all the time so this is my solution to that. Someone suggested it on another website so I tried it and I'm liking it. It smells good too.
Fridays afternoon I am always booked waiting for the new episode for the health champions...Thank you Doctor Ekberg...
Hello Dr. Sten, I don't eat any processed sugar but I do eat lots of fruits. Is it really ok to eat fruits or i should also stop fruits for nail fungus? Or please advise how should I take fruits if I have to. I am on very healthy diet for last 4 years, doing intermittent fasting (16hrs), eating only healthy stuff. I eat cooked food for lunch (No whites, no grains) and usually eat fruits in the evening as my dinner.
Your videos are blessings and Thanks for putting out all the good work !

I’ve had toenail fungus on my pinky toe for 15 years. I’ve always been able to keep it a bay with tea tree oil but it’s never healed. I recently used tinactin and it’s really helped dramatically. I highly suggest trying it 👍
Is tinactin an over the counter drug , oral or topical
Tinactin is available in gel, spray & powder form. Used for athletes foot. Actually warns on label not to be used for toenail fungus.
White iodine is the cure.
@@HEARTANDSOULOFMINE where do you get it?
Can you mix the three oils, oregano, tea tree and garlic?
Hola doctor gracias por sus consejos ya tengo 56 años he tenido hongos en mis pies casi toda mi vida, pero ha sido muy vergonzoso bendiciones le saludo desde Nicaragua
I wish you would get to the point quicker. It is difficult to attend to the whole thing. I tried many times with your videos but most of the time I left before the end
I find them perfec
He's incharged, he's giving out his professional time for free
You realize you can easily skip ahead?
You can speed up the video. Click on the video. Click on the gear icon which is sometimes covered by "HD". click on "change speed". I usually select 1.25, but Dr. Sten speaks so clearly I can understand him perfectly at 1.5. it might take a few times to get used to doing this, but after several videos you will be wondering why you would watch a video at regular speed again. P.S. this doesn't work very well with relaxation videos! Lol!
So time consuming.
I absolutely love your wonderful gift of teaching! What a wonderful way to reach the masses. Thank you!❤️
Yes we are blessed to have him and few other docs, basically for free. Best , those who I listen most often speak in very similar way, and it is not coincident, it is Gods work helping me to recover , God bless all and stay strong
Why oh why does sugar in all its sneaky incarnations taste SO good and cause so much damage…?😢
Im convinced Doc has the cure for cancer.... I've never seen such a intelligent Doctor, You are really awesome& added many years to many human lives with knowledge.
Thanks Doc, really appreciate.
Agree. Glad I found him.
There's been a cure for cancer for Many, Many YEARS, No one makes a lot of money if cancer is cured,So they're Not telling,The greed in our country is so awful 😞
I use white vinegar on a cotton bud twice a day, it went away after about 6 weeks. Agree with trimming the nail it helps.
You are one of those amazing doctors in the US as well as Canada who advocate intermittent fasting and keto. I in fact some great doctors don't encourage pure keto, but IF they do. It's effects on body are amazing. As a Muslim I've all my life fasted 30 days a year and knew its spiritual value. Lately after listening to you Good people I read the reasons to fasting other than spiritual and turned out that all you say is in consonance with what I read in the scriptures. In fact alongside fasting there's a recommendation to eat less that needed; 2/3rd actually of the need. It'll keep the body healthy with minimum ailments.
Call on the Lord Jesus Christ while HE may be found.
@@lesajackson3880 religion is garbage.... it doesn't matter which imaginary cloud daddy you pray to.
I’m glad you are learning there is truth in the non Muslim world. Now watch Robert Spencer , Cira international , Jay Smith and many apologists who can show you mo is not the man you want to follow .
Thank you dr.Ekberg for this detailed information in a simple easy to understand.
I wish all the medical doctors get this line of thinking and problem solving , dive into the root cause of the symptoms and treat it instead of prescribing medications to hide the symptoms.
Thank you so much, DR,Stem
I have not tried tea tree oil but I have brushed on decolorized iodine twice daily and that greatly helped on nail infection on my finger. But I have one toe infected so I’ll try tea tree oil. Bless you Dr for all you do to educate the rest of us when the conventional medical system has no clue. I am so off sugar and I look for sugar added to foods. Reading labels is a total eye opener, all thanks to education from you.
Had fungus for 40 years. Tea tree oil has started to improve it after 3 months.👍
I have had an amazing result using essential oils. For another reason, I had applied a mixture of a carrier oil with a drop of tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, and others, every night before sleeping to my feet + wearing loose socks on top. The fungus was gone before I even realized it. It was great seeing the line separating the healthy and sick nail. But as Dr. Ekberg explains, it's about a wholistic approach and tackling the root causes for long term results.
Tea tree oil worked for me within days.
Povidine iodine worked for me.
The fact that he writes backwards on a clear board with ease is genius in my eyes lol 😍😍😍😍💖💖💖💖
No he did not write backwards. Unless he is a leftie and wears a shirt with chest pocket on the wrong side. There's mirror imaging taking place here.
In addition to Dr. Ekberg's amazing knowledge share, I'd like to add that I clean my nail clippers with isopropyl alcohol after clipping an infected nail. Just dip a q-tip in alcohol and wipe the clippers before using on another nail. I also put a drop or two of tea trea oil under the infected nail, every day after I brushed my teeth, made it part of my morning routine. I also had peridontal disease and had to really clean up my oral care by flossing twice a day, water flossing, brushing and salt water rinses. I also stopped eating processed sugar and products. Like Dr. Ekberg said, persistence is the key. It took about a year for my infected nails to regrow and clear with my regimen.

Thx I saved time wasted .. these tips are trash … Vicks vapor rub rubbed on toes then place sock … better within a couple weeks
Thank you
Thank you for summarising his speech
Vicksburg vapo rub works
Lemongrass essential oil worked for me:)
Maravilloso master class Dr nunca habia escuchado tan valiosa explicacion.Gracias por compartir Bendiciones !!!
Great video! I've been having issues with gout and foot inflammation. I was on the Keto diet/intermittent fasting and the problems went away. Went back to eating junk and the same problems came back. I'm on Carnivore now and all is back to normal. I'm hoping that by not consuming carbs and sugar my toe nail fungus goes away. All this info makes a lot of sense
You're a Carnivore? That sounds so gross. Meat n fat, meat n fat. That's adkins on steroids. No way in this world I'm giving up vegetables for slaughtered animals.
Rotten potatoes@@janice369
Thank you so very much Doc!! Very very helpful. I've never encounter any professional that would take the time to explain the root causes and furthermore the possible solutions! God bless you!
You are true doctor. Your views halpful for people
Great video.
The 'root cause' that is detailed here is 'at the root' of most body 'Diss-Ease' (disease).
This approach to well-being has the wonderful 'side effect' of alleviating MANY symptoms. (not just toe fungus)
I soaked my feet in apple cider vinegar 50% every other day for two weeks and it went away, even with T2DM and high A1C.
white vinegar will work too...
*I'm now following your 2-meal-a-day plan, fasting 16 to 18 hours daily, and in just 28 days, I'm down 10 pounds and feel amazing! Thank you, Dr. May God bless you with all His blessings*

I found out by accident that taking high dose vitamin C also gets rid of toe fungus. I was taking around 15,000 mg vitamin C daily for treatment of pretty severe allergies (using a buffered vitamin C and liposomal vitamin C), and all of a sudden my yellowed toe nails were turning pretty pink as they grew out. Now they are totally pink and healthy looking.
Hi ! Thanks for your comment! What brand of liposomal and buffered vitamin C did you take?
@@laurenharper1510 what I personally use most is “C-Salts” buffered vitamin c and Nutriflair liposomal vitamin c. I also used Solaray buffered vitamin c and LivOn liposomal c.
I have a black mark under my big toe nail that I thought was a bruise, but twelve months later it is still there. Could it be a blood clot?
@@margaretjohnston4335 have it checked to make sure it's not melanoma
soak in apple cider vinegar in cotton and tape it to your toenail overnight. It works for me.
Thank you learn how to care my nail fungus.
Superb Teaching ! Superb Teacher !
Superb Channel !
Thank You !,
Good Dr.!
Dr you're so gifted and so kind to fellow humans. May Allah bless you.
I suffered from toenail fungus on eight of my 10 toes. I tried all of the topical treatments that I could find including Epson salts, tea, oil, peroxide, vinegar, etc. nothing worked! I found the only thing that would get rid of. It was having my nails ground or deburred, use a laser treatment, and then put a tropical on that could penetrate the nail. I happen to use Jublia. After suffering from this for months, this worked on seven of the eight infected toenails. I now realized that my blood sugar probably also was planning a major role. So I’ve got my blood sugar down considerably. It looks like my nail is starting to clear up but as the doctor says, it’s gonna take probably 18 months for me to see complete improvement by the wayI found out I was allergic to Lamisil.
This is THE BEST advise I ever got (on toe nail fungus). Thank you Dr. Ekberg!
This is true. I do breathing exercises, I take the deepest breath possible during a count to 5. I then hold my breath for a count to 5, and then exhale for a count of 5. I do this for about 10 minutes, and my feet and hands get really warm, close to the point of sweating. By the way, it also helps to clear my lungs.
My toe fungas was 30 years old and very thick, I could never cut it, but someone told me to use tea tree oil . I used it and fungas was gone for good.
Y como fue tu tratamiento por favor .
simplemente vierta 3 gotas todos los días sobre el hongo, dentro de 3 o 4 semanas el hongo desaparecerá. gracias@@doritabuenaventura7748
