A little gross-ology fun fact: Meatworkers at meat packing plants have
constant nail infections that cause their nails fall out---from the
bacteria. Of course, in this case, it is blood & animal tissue causing it.
YEah, gross.
Also try soaking in liquid silver water.

Most fungi and bacteria have a narrow pH within which they can live. The
vinegar, being acid, does the job on nail fungus. The trick is to keep
the nail soaked sufficiently as to infuse enough of the vinegar into the
nail and surrounding tissue so as to acidify it to a degree, changing
the pH range in which the little fungus beggars live. If on the foot,
one can wear open toe sandals and keep a pad of cotton with vinegar on
it next to the nail. Fingers are a bit more difficult, but do dedicate
some time soaking the affected fingernail. It will require more that
once a day however. Be careful that you don't stay in the vinegar so
long as to irritate the skin.

Nail infection by fungi are very hard to treat successfully.
When I was young we used griseofulvin (Grisactin)
in tablets.
Then we moved to liquid anti-fungal medication to
be applied diectly on the involved nails (Myclo).
Later Lamisil in tablets was and is still used.
I used Lamisil ointment directly on the nails.
Now Penlac is the most popular medication used, it
is applied directly to the affected nails. The problems
are, it is very expensive and often times you have to
use for 1 year.
None of these mediations is successfull 100% of the
time, even after using the most expensive ones.

So Tony, what does this machine do? Make a silver solution using
electrolysis of silver? What was your source? Never seen one of these.

Chewy, yes...but not exactly what I was expecting.
