I heard something about using Vicks VapoRub on last Sunday’s show. Something about using it would remove a bad fingernail? I have a fungus infection under one of my finger nails that corn meal is not clearing up. I thought if I could remove the nail then the corn meal might do the trick. Thank you Jerry |

I don't believe that it removes the nail. It was reported by someone to cure some fungus problems. Good luck! -UPDATE- On Howard's show this weekend, he said that the nail came off and new one was growing back. It was probably the new growth that caused nail to come off ?? |

if you look at the ingredients, you can see why it may help treat a fungal infection Active Ingredients: 4.8% Camphor (cough suppressant & topical analgesic) 2.6% Menthol (cough suppressant & topical analgesic) 1.2% Eucalyptus oil (cough suppressant) Inactive Ingredients: Cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, special petrolatum, thymol, and turpentine oil. Camphor, menthol, eucalyptus, cedar, nutmet, thyme (thymol) and turpentine are all antiseptic/antimicrobial, making them good candidates to fight fungal infections. Marlyn |

There is some discussion of this on Usenet (search Google Groups), particularly in the diabetes context. Toenail fungus that is annoying for the otherwise healthy person is a serious issue for diabetics. I've seen some discussion on the idea of custom formulating a more potent version of VapoRub for that purpose. |
