We have been asked if there are natural solutions to these two problems which afflict many people of all ages, and the answer is yes! Whether it is athlete’s foot, the painful, burning, blistering, and cracking under and between toes; or whether it is nail fungus on the hands or feet, there IS help naturally. Nail fungus may result in yellowing, thickening or separation of nails.
Both of these are fungal and or yeast infections, which place a strain on your body’s immune system, and should not be ignored. Treating these conditions naturally is important because many of the OTC (Over The Counter) and prescription drugs for these conditions can be very toxic to the liver. For many people the fungus/yeast is systemic, meaning it is in various body systems such as bowel and may also need internal herbal treatment. Some suggestions can be found here: Candida/Yeast

The main challenge is that you MUST be persistent with these treatments, meaning twice daily until the condition is gone. If you have had it for months or years, it can take several months. If it is recent, you will usually see results within 1 – 2 weeks. Here are the external protocols we have found to be very effective.
Nail Fungus
Step #1 Soak affected feet or hands in hot salt water. This is easy to do while reading, watching TV or eating. 10 – 15 minutes in water as warm as you like with roughly 1 tsp. salt to 4 cups/1 litre hot water. A more pleasant way to do this is walking in the water at a warm tropical beach, but if this is not an option, the former will work. If your nails are very hardened and thickened, judicious scraping with a nail file under the nail after soaking will help reduce thickness and make nails more open to the next 2 steps.
Step #2 Apply Tei Fu Oil to the affected nails. It only takes a couple of drops of this multi-purpose essential oil blend, which will penetrate better after the soaking. Try to get it under the nails.
Morning and evening is best for steps 1 & 2. Then after evening treatment add step #3:
Step #3 Fill finger or toe cott (purchased at any drugstore) with Silver Gel – usually 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. depending on size of finger or toe, and roll it over the affected appendage and leave on overnight. This will allow the nail to soak in the Silver Gel for an extended period of time, so the silver can eliminate the fungus. In the morning remove and start over with step #1 or if you do not have time for soaking, just wash, dry and apply Tei Fu Oil (Step #2).
Although this may seem like a lot of time and trouble, once you get into the routine, you will find it easy to keep up and the results will be well worth it. If you miss step 1, the soaking, you can still do #2 and #3, but all 3 steps work the best. Anything is better than nothing! If you do not see results within one month, please contact our office. As mentioned in into above, some people have systemic yeast/fungus and may need internal herbal treatment.
Athlete’s Foot
Step #1 Soak affected feet or hands in hot salt water. This is easy to do while reading, watching TV or eating. 10 – 15 minutes in water as warm as you like with roughly 1 tsp. salt to 4 cups/1 litre hot water. A more pleasant way to do this is walking in the water at a warm tropical beach, but if this is not an option, the former will work.
Step #2 Apply the Silver Gel generously under and between the toes. Wear clean dry cotton socks, or bare feet so your feet can breathe.
Repeat Steps 1 & 2 morning and evening. If no time for step #1, still do Step #2, applying the Silver Gel.

Why do they recommend Cat’s Claw for IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) That’s what I got this last order since that’s what the Candida Power Point recommended. In the brochure it sounds like it’s mainly an immune stimulator. As far as what I’ve read IBS isn’t “infectious” or caused by a bug.
The Fact sheet on Cat’s Claw with Astragalus and Echinacea has some relevant info. I have also emailed this to you.
Tip: always look in Feature’s & Benefits at bottom of page. I have bolded some relevant sections for Gillian’s question.
Cleanses and strengthens the immune, intestinal and structural systems.
• Helps in achieving proper balance of intestinal flora, which may in turn help with gastrointestinal disorders, including candidiasis, colitis, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, ulcers and hemorrhoids.
Also read the section of fact sheet where Dr.Davis quotes Uncaria tomentosa, as the “opener of the way”, referring to it’s unique ability to detoxify the intestinal tract and to treat a vairty of stomach and bowel disorders.
I do believe that IBS does often have underlying challenge of chronic inflammation which can be the result of continual aggravation from non-digestion of sensitive foods. This leaves the intestinal system open to infectious agents, which in turn creates more inflammation, setting up a vicious cycle.
Cat’s Claw Comination is a specific for bowel and lymphatic, and if someone suffers from IBS or Candida, it is a good choice. But I do also recommend the UC-C or UC3-J or both alternately, for IBS, whereas I do not feel these are necessary for Candida. Hopes this helps!
Excellent detailed info.. Thank you..Debbie..
Thanks Lorene,
Is it normal to have initial bloating & other symptoms get worse before it gets better?
Yes, this can be as a result of “die off”, also called the Herxheimer Reaction, a result of toxins from the dying candida occurring faster than the body can remove them. Drinking lots of water, lots of vegetable for fibre, and ensuring regular bowel movements will all help.
In the Candida Clear cleanse, enzymes are included to be taken BETWEEN meals, which helps to break down the toxins in the digestive system, and people do not experience this reaction, or to a lesser degree. You can add 2 Protease Plus Enzymes between meals to help with whatever Candida program you are doing.
I usually do not create a bunch of responses, but i did some searching and wound up here Natural Path Remedies » Blog Archive » Fungus Among Us – Athlete’s Foot and Nail Fungus. And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you don’t mind. Could it be only me or does it give the impression like a few of these comments appear as if they are written by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to follow everything new you have to post. Could you make a list of all of your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
Not sure what comments you are referring to; I believe that those I approve do make sense, and come from intelligent people in search of optimum health.Yours is questionable, but I am going to respond in case I have misunderstood something. As far as my other public pages, yes you can search me on Facebook, Twitter and Linked in, however I spend most of my time on this website, teaching, consulting one-on one, writing for health publications and keeping up with Paw Paw research to keep my Paw Paw Program current. Thanks for finding our site!
The usage of Tea Tree Oil in stopping Toenail Fungus is unquestionably an amazing treatment for people experiencing that nail discoloration. But without doubt, it is tried and tested that this natural and organic medicine helps us to eliminate Toenail Fungus.
Impressive! Thanks for sharing this detailed and very useful insights.

My mother has really lousy (toe) nail fungus and requires lots of pills already. Does anyone know of an external (cream or?) Which will cure or help this? Tea-tree oil and lamasil creme and topol(?) Didn’t perform. Where did you get the dactarin fluid?
Hi Kaycee,
If you want to get the inexpensive products that I mention in this article, let me know – I can establish a direct order account for you or your mother. As this program works, I have no need to try all the other things you mention, that did not perform.
Thanks for the wonderful remedy for athlete’s foot. I would also like to share a remedy to remove foot odor.
You are welcome! We also have an excellent solution for foot odor in a natural, biodegradable ENZYME Spray. This Nature’s Sunshine Product, “Natures Fresh”, is an enzyme-rich deodorizing product for use around the house and on pets to remove odors and stains. It is a miracle for many other uses, according to Dr. Kim Balas. See Success story #4 with Nature’s Fresh for excema.

Hi Lorene
For a while I have had a fungus under one big toenail but now it has spread to most of my toenails and I really want to know if I should try this product called Clear Nails Plus now being sold on the internet.
Would you please do a little research for me and find out if it is worth a try or suggest something else that is showing good results for the fungus problem. Roy Williams is the person who is promoting this cure that he says he developed to heal his dying father.
I sure don`t want to spend the money if it is just a money making scam so decided to ask your advice. I know that all the products that doctors have offered me in the past did not work.
Take Care Lorene
Thanks as Always for your help!!
Love V
Hi V,
I have never heard great results from many of these products, and several of them are quite toxic. I know the prescription ones also can cause some fairly severe side effects, including liver and joint damage.
Please try the above protocol for 3 months. I also think that you would be wise to be on a Candida control daily, as fungus is one sign of candida/yeast infection, which is also implicated in your leg lesions. I would suggest perhaps alternating 4/ day (2 & 2) of Pau D’Arco capsules , then Artemisia combination. See if one or the other benefits you also in other ways. For example, the Pau D’Arco may also lessen any pain you have on your legs.
The Candida Clear is another option, but let’s start with this and evaluate in 2-3 months.
