Answer
Dear Hanna,

Thank you for writing.

The solution is a simple one; pay attention to your diet, take in good nutrition and use a zapper daily. The problem will be solved.

Nutrition: http://www.tryfrutavida.com/main

Take 2 ounces daily, and apply this formula externally every night and morning on the actual toe nail and flesh area.

Zapper:  http://zap.intergate.ca

Use this device several times per week. Please see website for more information.

Before i forget, it will be very useful to you as a preventative measure (including above nutritional formula) to take a good probiotic supplement daily. Search google for Primal Defence Ultra. You may be able to find this product at your local health store. If you are not intolerant to dairy, take more yogurt as well, a product that is organic.

General Dietary Recommendations:

Cut out all soy products, except fermented soy. Miso, tempeh and natural soy sauce are healthy. [fermented]

Soy contains goitrogens which depress thyroid functions. It also contains phytic acid, which hinders the body's ability to absorb proteins, calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. In general, it is an enzyme inhibitor.

Do not drink pasteurized milk as it is quite harmful. Take only certified organic or raw milk.

Refrain from using microwaves. They lower haemoglobin levels, deteriorate immune functions and produce high numbers of radiolytic compounds in foods. (do some research on google for more info)

Make sure all artificial sweeteners are avoided:
splenda, sucralose, aspartame, nutra-sweet, equal, acesulfame potassium.

These sweeteners are found in store bought vitamins, protein powders, anything sugar-free, gum, chocolate, soda... etc.  Therefore please read labels carefully.

Both soy and artificial sweeteners compromise the immune system.

Cut out all margarine and hydrogenated fats. Cut out canola, rapeseed and soybean oils.
These are unhealthy. Replace with butter, ghee, unrefined coconut oil, sesame oil, and virgin olive oil.  

7 glasses of water per day is a good idea to help flush out toxins from the body. Warm or room temperature water, never cold. Never drink tap water. It must be filtered. Avoid drinking distilled water it leads to mineral depletion and hair loss.
