Trying to Hide Toenail Fungus?
Onychomycosis, also known as toe fungus, is a localized infection of the nail or nail bed caused by fungi. It is not life threatening; however, it can cause inconvenience and sometimes pain or discomfort. An estimated 11 million Americans suffer from onychomycosis, and up to 48% of the public will have at least one affected toe by the time they reach 70 years old.
Toenail fungus is a chronic condition that gradually progresses to involve more and more of the nail, rarely healing on its own. Even if the affected nail falls of or is knocked off, the nail that re-grows is usually infected with fungus.
To date, the most common treatments (although still not very effective) are expensive oral prescription medications with potentially adverse side effects. Systemic fungal treatment has been disappointing to date with side-effects such as nausea, headache, photosensitivity and gastrointestinal intolerance. These side effects have typically caused the patient to discontinue treatment after a short time.
However, applying Revive-A-Nail and taking orally a well formulated probiotic can help to get back in balance and decrease the fungi overgrowth.
Scientific discovery and the introduction of acid blocking medications in North America have caused the incidence of onchomycosis to dramatically increase. Treating the affected nails is only part of the solution, in the future the solution must also address the underlying digestive imbalance as well in order to get at the root of the problem.
Revive-A-Nail contains homeopathic remedies and herbal extracts that can be used for the treatment of fungus affecting finger and toe areas. It works to relieve the itching, scaling, cracking, burning, redness, soreness, irritation and discomfort that typically accompany this condition. Clean the affected area with soap and water and dry thoroughly. Apply 1-2 drops to the nail and nail bed 3-4 times a day or as directed by your health care provider.
In order to restore healthy bacteria to the entire body, a person who has contracted this infection should also take probiotics, such as Enterobiotic Plus or HLC High Potency.
Don’t Let The Bedbugs Bite
In order to combat the recent bedbug outbreaks that have spread through homes, businesses and vacation spots, Johnson Compounding and Wellness Center has made an effort to stay a step ahead of these pests.
Until now the only way to rid this pest was with expensive and harsh chemical treatments. The chemicals used are both hazardous to your health and environment; but now completely unnecessary. Johnson Compounding has a powerful new technology that will provide peace of mind at home, work, or wherever you may travel. Introducing the CleanWave Sanitizing Furniture and Bed Vac, it is a small hand held vacuum that is safe, effective and easy to use. The vacuum, safe for any surface, thoroughly picks up dirt and debris while sanitizing, and never leaves a residue.
According to manufacturer Verilux, “CleanWave technology works by a germicidal UV-C light that penetrates micro-organisms’ cell membranes and damages the DNA, preventing the growth of germs on surfaces. CleanWave technology has been proven to eliminate odors and up to 99.9% of viruses including bedbugs as well as H1N1, bacteria, germs, mold, dust mite and flea eggs on household surfaces.”
The CleanWave also comes in a sanitizing wand, available in two sizes including a convenient portable size for all your travel needs. This technology has been tested in the United States and is now available at Johnson Compounding and Wellness Center.
