Verrrry interesting posts on the nail fungus. I believe that many do not realize that certain nail (cuticle in particular issues are prob fungus related.

Hanna - how much or how long were you taking Diflucan?

Soulful - was it Sporanox which you took for this?

For other purposes, but my nails (fingers, toes were okay) were seriously affected. I've been on every antifungal under the sun, including the above.

I must also say, and add to the trend here - that I also did not notice much in the way of dramatic improvement (to the point of nonexistence) to my fingernails (and cuticles). No one else could notice it, but I could. I would need to cut off cuticle every day or it would build up within two days and become super hard. NO MORE.

Still try to keep up with the nails, etc. But I also use W's salve, and I like to be sure it gets under my nails also.
I was never certain this was related to the iodine, so I did not mention it earlier. Thought it was probably the Sporanox (which ended before the iodine) and the probability that I had gotten the systemic candida infection out of my system via a natural and pharmal anti candida approach.

This is really interesting to me. It's odd how Iodine appears to be effective toward fungus (yeasts?) overgrown on/within certain tissues. Could it be the strain of fungus/candida, etc.

H and S: has candida overgrowth ever been a health concern or is this fungus limited to toenails?
