Let me know how to get started! I graduated from NCNM in 2000.
Great site!

You may want to get them removed first surgically and then do the soak once you recover from the surgery. You will only have to soak for 1 month if you get the nails removed.

Soak for a shorter duration and then make sure to Rinse off your feet in the shower and dry them off.

This will remove the white vinegar from your skin. White vinegar is quite acidic and rinsing it off after soaking is important.

It depends on how your immune system is, your shoes and socks in terms of breathe-ability, and digestion in terms of food types ingested and if you have taken the sachets internally or not.

Some people begin to get clearing and then can stop and be good to go if the immune system is strong, diet is limited in sugar intake, sachets have been taken internally for 14 days - one full sachet placed in a bit of water before dinner, and wearing breathable footwear is key - along with using diluted bleach to kill the fungus spores.

It is a full package deal that has to happen in order to get a full recovery from the fungus and not get it back again.

Doing the Beer Soak only without improving your immune system, without proper footwear, without limiting the intake of shoes will only partly work.

The Beer Soak will kill the fungus but it will regrow unless you change the other factors as well.

Hope this helps you!

I noticed after doing one round of the soak for a month, that it recurrs if you don’t continue to soak until the spots are completely grown out. Have you found this to be true??? I’m finishing up my second round of soaking, sometimes twice a day, to rid myself of this dreaded crap.

Thank-you, TAR

well…i m looking for a career in medicine, where i cna help people and use and learn sciences, medicine and bio. But i dont have many chocies left as i have excluded pharmacist and MD being too long, hard on my health and competitive tog et it. only left is NDschool in Canada where i live. Two things bother me:

- 1) not being recognised as true HC professional and keep hearing that ND medicine doesnt work or is not backed and proven by evidence. It seems to me that on top of seeing that ND medicine didnt work in me and my mother, i also have to live with the fact that i practice a medicine that is not proven to work and give it to my patients and is useless , not very great to swallow. at least as MD you can say you are alleviating smyptoms. Evidence for ND therapies, are scarce as medical experts say, no many clinical trials, so only traditional years long used info avaialble to justify its use in clinical practice and to say it works? that doesnt sound scientific. Plus i would like to see it working before i undertake this education. what can you say to help?

2) the business side of ND practice scares me. I dont like running, managing and handling a business. i just want to spend 90% of my time helping, teaching and socializing with people about life and science/medicine. Now thats a problem. I was told that making living as an ND is verrry difficult and i was told we can make first few 5 yrs only 35-45K before overhead and taxes, because not many can afford our expensive fees and not everybody have insurance and we are competiing with quick relief giving free MD (in Canada). Now how a prospective student is suppose to convince himself that he isnot putting himself to a hardship, stressful and poor financial life by becoming an ND, no matter how much he likes medicine and care for poeple? Cn you clarify something in this? cuz i dont know what else i can do? and i know a lot of NDs who have told me that it is too stressful and they cant make a real living out of it.

I bought one at Walgreens (had the pot and saline packs). After one day (I rinsed 3 times the first day), I started noticing less nasal drip and I started spitting out large chunks of thick mucous. After 2 days (I still rinsed 3 times that day) my nose started pouring out thin yellow discharge and the thick yellow discharge that I was spitting up was decreasing.

After 3 days ( I rinsed only twice), I was almost cured! My nose only had brief episodes of drainage and the drainage was now clear instead of yellow. I had almost no thick discharge to spit out and what little I did was no longer yellow as it was in the beginning.

I was skeptical at first and just “knew” I needed an antibiotic but in 3 days, my nose was almost well! I kept it up till the minor drainage episodes stopped completely.

I noticed one other positive effect. The saline rinse worked as well as an anti-histimine and decongestant. My nasal passages shrank and the drainage started drying up without taking any medication. And the results lasted an average of 10 hours when my nose was at it’s worse (dripping and stuffy).

I had also began to get hoarse with this infection, but it cleared up as quick as my nose did using nothing but the saline rinse.

I am no longer skeptical about it. It works!
