Let's talk about how to get rid of toe-nail fungus, okay?

0:25.6

Pretty straightforward.

0:26.6

Two main ingredients to this formula, but more importantly, we want to ask questions like why do certain people get toe-nail fungus yet other people never get it why is it so common in diabetics in fact in one study 77 out of 152 diabetics had this condition why is this so common with people with pushing syndrome that's a condition where you have high levels of cortisol they're really stressed out and why are you at risk for getting this condition

0:56.6

if you have your spleen removed so these are all questions we need to ask and the reason I'm doing this video is I really want you to start to change the way you look at your body change the way you look at symptoms look at symptoms as the indicator light on your car your engine light right you wouldn't just disconnect the wire right you would try to find out and diagnose what's really underneath the hood unfortunately in medicine they don't do that it's all about just

1:25.9

treating the symptom and with medication that has side effects of course we want to treat the symptom with natural things but we also want to find the cause so let's talk about this like why would your body develop this white yellow black crusty toenail that is breaking off your nail bed I mean that's just weird it's a condition where it's resistant to medical treatment okay either the topical treatment doesn't work because it doesn't penetrate the nail or the systemic treatment

1:55.4

maybe will work temporarily but it comes right back and it gives you side effects in the process just as a side note I talked to someone recently who had some foot pain and they go to the doctor and the way they doctor treated it is to give them a steroid not localized injected into the foot but an oral steroid prednisone which is going to be systemic it's going to go through the entire body to get rid of her foot pain my thought is like what's

2:25.2

going to happen a few days it's going to wear off it's going to come right back and then what you take another one and then another one and then all of a sudden all the problems that come with it I mean it's just it's just bizarre but with toenail fungus just in America there's like 35 million people who have this and in the western part of the world it's more of a fungus in the tropical regions it's more of a mold because it's more moisture and it's more human so how do we figure this out well first thing is okay we have this fungus right

2:55.6

what is going on with fungus in the nail well we can relate it to other things where we have an overgrowth of fungus or candida or a yeast infection in other parts of our body like whether it's the groin or even the mouth or on your skin you see a lot of people get an overgrowth of candida or yeast after an antibiotic because the normal bacteria in their body keep this fungus in check okay so there's always this balance

3:25.0

you know that you have friendly bacteria in your gut and you know you have friendly bacteria on your skin but did you know you also have friendly fungus on your skin as well and inside your body you have friendly candida and you have friendly yeast it's not just about bacteria the friendly fungus is called Michael biota Michael biota describes the different

3:47.6

funguses that live on and inside your body that can help you unless the environment changes they get stressed

3:55.5

and some of them turn pathogenic so a big part of this has to do with this battle between your own immune system which by the way

4:04.1

is your friendly microbes it's also your friendly fungus that's part of your immune system it's not a separate thing

4:11.9

and this is why when you lose your immune system with like HIV for example or you had your spleen removed

4:18.3

or you had this high level of cortisol and cushing syndrome what happens when you have high cortisol

4:23.6

you literally put your immune system into a state of sleep you paralyze your immune system so cortisol is a

4:31.4

steroid which basically gets rid of inflammation and it gets rid of symptoms from autoimmune diseases

4:37.2

it calms an over reactive immune system because it suppresses the white blood cell

4:43.2

well in the process it gets rid of your defense mechanism against pathogens so if you have this

4:49.8

chronic elevation of cortisol as in cushing syndrome you're more at risk for getting all sorts of

4:56.3

problems like toenail fungus like autoimmune problems and in regard to diabetes let's talk about

5:02.3

that for a second what is diabetes it's a situation where you have high levels of sugar

5:07.6

what does fungus yeast mold love to eat that sugar even in the soils with the plants
