Laser treatment that tackles toenail fungus available here

[Very dissapointed]

Don’t do it. I paid out of my pocket $750. I came in with a problem on the largest toenail on my left foot. I received three treatments. I was told this was the standard protocol. There was improvement after the first treatment, but it quickly returned. My second treatment was delayed (they twice rescheduled my appointment and I believe this added to the poor outcome) I expressed my concerns that it was returning and they said that the second treatment would take care of it. Just like after the first treatment, there was initial improvement after the second treatment, but, as with the first, it started getting worse again. On the third treatment I expressed my concerns that the positive outcome was only temporary. I suggested they might have (I might have) a better outcome if they waited less time between treatments and perhaps to continue treatments based on the individual outcomes. The suggestion went on deaf ears and I was told that that the new protocol would only have one treatment and that I was lucky to receive three. I do not consider myself "lucky" as the outcome, with their protocol, is not sustainable. Almost a year later, it is essentially nearly as bad as it was when I started.

I guess my question would be - what causes the fungus in the first place? My son has it and we thought it was because he is in a wheelchair and doesn't walk around and his feet are in shoes all most of the time (not in bed however) He is trying a type of nail polish now b ut the results won't be forthcoming for several weeks. Some say it takes nearly a year to see any improvement.

Take a sewing needle.
Heat it with your Bic until it glows red.
Pierce your nail a few times.
Soak your feet in bleach.
Fungus--dead.
To keep it away:
Pee on your feet in the shower.

Hi all, I had the PinPointe treatment done in mid-September. It's now early November, and I *think* I see some improvement on my great toe; the nail itself seems smoother and shinier, and the infection appears to be healing in "streaks", rather than in a straight line from the nail bed up, if that makes sense. I also had some very mild fungal involvement of some lesser toes; I just clipped off the last of that infection and there's no sign of it returning. If anyone wants to see the pictures I've taken every month, please provide an e-mail address and I'll send them to you.

hello, just wanted to send you my e-mail for the pictures. [e-mail]. thanks :0)

I smoked medical marijuana and it cured my toenail fungus, hemmorhoids and nasal hair.

[Oh Yeah]

Ah no, I didn't mean did it "give" you any STDs. I wanted to know if it cured them. You know, that information could be very useful to those who go around spreading STD' especially among unwitting teens. Of course if you are high enough on the med mari, it really doesn't matter does it? And to answer your question, no I've never done drugs. And at my age, don't intend to. Just curious about the curing procoess. LOL

Yes, please send me pictures of your progress reports to [e-mail]. If there is anyone else who has tried laser treatment and has taken pictures of the before and after or just after please share.

Thanks!
