Go on, try it...
put into this sites search engine "Listerine toenail fungus.
" In my last go at this awesome game I got 1,170 results.
Pretty awesome when you think that most of them have then recommended "Clearnail" or "Zetaclear".
Read through the articles.
One was funny.
Clearly a BS one because they said their fungus went in 2 weeks, but came back a month later (this is impossible for nails).
What we have to do is to take a step back and try to figure out what we are trying to do.
Listerine by its very nature is designed for your teeth and mouth...
not your feet.
It is also worthy to note that you have to buy many bottles to cover your feet effectively to try this and do that on a regular basis.
The ingredients that are listed within Listerine are also designed for your skin...
which is where the fungus is not.
Thymol which seems to be the microbiological buster, only really works on skin...
so no help to the nails then.
And that is the issue.
Fungus skin problems and fungus toenail problems are 2 completely different problems with completely different treatment methods.
One is skin based and the other is toenail- which is impervious to water i.
e.
doesn't let it in.
Yes, Listerine does work on the skin and with good results, but if you had issues/ reactions/ ill-effects (which is probable especially in the concentrations needed) then you are using it at your own risk with no recommendation.
And no health care worker would recommend it- because your feet is not where a mouth wash should be used.
I recently read the Freakanomics books.
If you ever get to see a copy (there are loads in discount and thrift stores) they are a very interesting read.
It's an interesting account of what we perceive of life, put in black and white- no grey.
In other words, they show you the true, impartial evidence and show you the BS that people have made up to move around the true facts.
What they found in their research into marketing was that Listerine was actually created in the 1800s as a surgical antiseptic.
Great you may think..
my fungus just doesn't have any chance! Interestingly it was later changed with and then sold as a floor cleaner and a cure for Gonorrhea.
But it never truly caught on until the 1920s when it was changed again and used as a bad breath cure.
They technically "invented" bad breath and sales of Listerine soared.
I just thought it was a fun anecdote of how people can use something which wasn't it's original purpose but spin and good marketing make people change their minds quickly.
