New All Natural Toenail Fungus Supplement

Posted on December 18, 2013 by admin

HOPE FOR NAILS supplement is specially formulated to boost the body’s natural defenses against the fungus that causes nail infections. By increasing the immune system, the body can more easily fight off infections. Why take expensive and toxic anti-fungal pills that can damage your liver when you can take HOPE FOR NAILS supplement to help your body fight off the fungus that is destroying your nails.

We have found that most people that have toenail fungus, also have one or both parents that also have toenails fungus. Or, they may have other family members that have this same embarrassing problem. It is apparent that there is a genetic link that makes one susceptible to getting a fungus infection of the nails. By targeting the immune system, we are trying to correct for this genetic trait that is preventing your own immune system from fighting off the fungus.

While we can’t prevent coming in contact with the fungus, we can try to increase our natural defenses against the fungus.

The special ingredients that we have selected for HOPE FOR NAILS have been researched for their specific fungus fighting qualities. There is no other product like HOPE FOR NAILS.

Dr. Jeffrey Kleis, DPM is a foot specialist with over 25 years experience in treating patients with fungal toenails. From his offices in Southern California, he has helped thousands of patients who suffer from the embarrassment of fungal nails. Through many years of research, Dr. Kleis has found a unique combination of natural ingredients that we believe will change your life and give you hope for your nails.

Dr. Kleis is board certified in foot surgery, a practicing podiatrist for over 25 years. For many of those 25 years, his patients would come to him with ugly, painful, embarrassing toenails disfigured from fungus. In the past, he found that the pills and topical creams/oils/liquids offered little hope for his patients. The anti-fungal pills could cause liver damage and even death. The topicals rarely, if ever, resulted in positive nail changes. It was disappointing for both Dr. Kleis and his patients. He had almost given up hope when through exhaustive research, Dr. Kleis found a combination of natural ingredients that we believe will help in giving you nails that you can be proud of.

We have formulated a capsule that is taken by mouth once daily. This capsule contains a mixture of seven amazing, natural ingredients.

We also offer a topical oil that is a mixture of five essential oils, all known to have anti-fungal activity. This oil is applied to the nails once daily.

Are you tired of hiding your nails from others? Are you tired of burying your feet in the sand at the beach? Are you tired of not being able to go barefoot or wear sandals for fear of others seeing your ugly nails? Have you lost all hope in ever having beautiful nails.

Then the time to change is here.

Get HOPE FOR NAILS now.

Proudly Made in the USA!

Common objections to the laser treatment of fingernail and toenail fungus infections

Posted on June 14, 2011 by admin





Health insurance does not cover the laser treatment of fingernail and toenail fungus. For people who have a Medical IRA or HSA (Health Flex Savings Account) funds from these type of accounts can usually be used for the laser treatment of fungal nails. Most doctors offer financing options as well.

It isn’t 100% guaranteed to work? Realistically, no legitimate doctor can guarantee 100% success with any procedure that deals with a contagious condition. The reason is that the laser treatment kills the infection that is present, but if people are not careful they can re-infect themselves.  Clinical studies on the laser treatment show success rates between 70%-88%, which is still higher than other treatment options on the market including oral medications and topical. Clinical studies also show less side effects compared with oral medications.

Other things to keep in mind, when sorting through pages of reviews of laser toenail fungus treatments, many laser nail patients seem to forget that toenail fungus is contagious and in order for any treatment to be what most people would consider successful, they need to avoid re-infection. This means people who want they nail fungus to go away would need to throw out or sterilize their shoes. Also, be careful to avoid walking barefoot through public locker rooms, showers, hotel carpets and anywhere else fungal spores like to live.

A good analogy I heard was “if a dentist uses a laser to treat a mouth infection (gum disease) and then the patient goes home and doesn’t brush their teeth regularly, floss and continues to eat sugary food, will the mouth infection come back? Will the laser treatment be a success?” Common sense people…. Talk to your doctor about preventative care.

It is expensive? The laser treatment of fingernail and toenail fungus infections costs are around $500 – $1200 on average, this is similar to price to the oral medication if you don’t have insurance coverage for it, which many insurance companies no longer cover. Blood work for liver enzyme tests are also needed for most patients before doctors will prescribe oral anti-fungal medications as well.

The laser nail fungus treatment is still very new? Laser nail fungus treatments have been available for almost three years now; tens of thousands of Americans have been treated using lasers for fungal nails, so it isn’t that new.

Does Laser Treatments for Toenail and Fingernail Fungus really work?

Posted on June 14, 2011 by admin

How do we know if the laser treatment for toenail and or fingernail fungus will work?

When shopping around for treatment of fingernail and toenail fungus infections there are a couple things to keep in mind. Just like shopping around for any kind of doctor, some doctors will have more training and experience.  Would you let an untrained, inexperienced doctor using out dated and/or non-FDA cleared equipment work on your feet? Probably not, just like most people would not want an untrained, inexperienced mechanic using inadequate tools to work on their car.

Questions to ask a potential toenail fungus laser treatment clinic or doctor are:

What type of laser they are using, is it FDA cleared specifically for nail fungus?

Some “off label” lasers are FDA cleared for dermatology or podiatry but not specifically for nail fungus or Onychomycosis.

Is the laser toenail fungus treatment performed by a licensed doctor?

How long has the doctor been doing the laser toenail fungus treatment? If they have only been performing the treatment for less than six months, how are they judging success rates?   It can take anywhere from 3-12 months for nail growth to show clear healthy looking nails after the laser nail fungus treatments.  Have the doctors seen positive results in their own patients? Do they have they own before and after pictures of actual laser toenail fungus treatment patients?

Does the doctor own or lease the laser equipment?

Are all fingernail and toenail fungus laser treatments options the same?

Posted on June 14, 2011 by admin

No; and this is where many toenail fungus suffers get confused. Not all lasers are the same, different doctors offer different laser treatments and they are not all the same. Only two lasers currently on the market in the United States are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) cleared for treating fungal nails (Onychomycosis). These two lasers are the GenesisPlus laser system made by Cutera and the Pinpointe foot laser made by Patholase.  Other medical laser manufactures have somewhat similar lasers that are used for laser hair removal, scars, warts, tattoo removal and other cosmetic purposes. Some doctors are using non-FDA cleared lasers for treatment of fungal nails, but this is what is known as “off label” use. 

These “off label” use lasers being marketed as treating toenail fungus may not have the same safety features and or clinical studies to back up effectiveness claims. In addition, the physicians marketing these lasers may not have the same level of training or experience as other physicians that are using FDA cleared laser devices for treatment of toenail and fingernail fungus infections. Also, some laser clinics have nurses or medical assistants performing the laser treatments for toenail and fingernail fungus treatments, rather than a physician, usually a Podiatrist (foot and ankle specialist) or M.D. (Medical Doctor).  Podiatrists are most commonly the type of physician performing the laser treatment for toenail fungus as toenail fungus is the most common foot problem seen by Podiatrists (they look at feet all day).

What is the difference between the Cutera GenesisPlus laser and the Pinpointe foot laser for treating nail fungus?

Posted on June 14, 2011 by admin

Both laser systems are FDA cleared for treating fungal nails (toenail fungus and fingernail fungus). Both share a similar 1064nm Nd-yag laser setting.  The system by Cutera has more features including adjustable spot size, higher watts settings (more powerful optional settings) and can also use a 1332nm wave length laser beam (which some companies/doctors claim works best for nail infections). The Pinpointe system is an older system which from the information available seems to be a modified dental laser, it only has one setting and Patholase the parent company of Pinpointe is a smaller less known company. Cutera is a publically traded company on the New York stock exchange and claims to have over 10,000 laser systems installed worldwide.  The Cutera GenesisPlus system features a built in LED temperature gauge (which the Pinpointe system does not), this safety feature helps alert the doctor using the laser as to the heat of the nails during the procedure so that they don’t get to hot.

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails or fingernails. This ailment causes fingernails or toenails to thicken, discolor, disfigure, and split. At first glance, onychomycosis appears to be only a cosmetic concern. However, without treatment, the toenails can become abnormally thick forcing the toe to press against the inside of the shoes, causing pressure, irritation, and pain. Generally, onychomycosis does host any symptoms. Individuals seek treatment for cosmetic reason, not because they are experiencing pain. However, if the disease continues to progress without treatment, onychomycosis may interfere with standing, walking, and exercising. Onychomycosis is easily identified by its appearance. However, there are similar conditions and infections that can cause the nails to host a similar appearance to onychomycosis.

Nail infection (toenail and fingernail) is caused by contact with dermatophytes which are everywhere in our environment. Common sources of infection include swimming pools, public showers, gyms and nail spas. Tight fitting shoes and nail trauma can also lead to infection. Genetic susceptibility, poor health and increasing age are also factors that increase the risk of nail infection.
