My toe nails!

[newbe1]

Hi I have been raw 100% for about 60 days now and I have found that my toe nails are turning white! :eek: Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this or what to do about it? It is pretty ugly.

I don't think it has anything to do with your diet, but maybe you need to share with us what you are eating (only if it's good :D ). Here is a link with some explanations on what might cause this.

It sounds to me that you've developed a fungus. I'm not sure, but maybe, MAYBE, you have candida overload, and maybe eating raw is "running it out" of your system, becoming visible in your nail? I've had one of my toenails turn white (and I had been diagnosed with candida) my nail fail off (this happened about the same time I went 100% raw) and now I have grown back a healthy nail! I was amazed, and actually afraid that my new nail would be "fungus nail" also, but it's healthy. I'm hoping some of my candida is leaving my body.....

tea tree oil is an excellent anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti viral treatment.

You can also wash your nails with honey and water, which is much milder, and will leave the skin soft and supple.

or use both.
