Yes magnesium helps me but usually Vitamin D helps more than anything...get the dr to test for low vit d and they will give you high dose prescrip to take. That has helped me more than anything..

Of course, now that I have given birth...I have a fridge full of pickles!

Decolorized Iodine on your toenails twice a day clears up nail fungus in 6 weeks. Just apply around the bottom of the nail bed. Regular iodine would work just as well, if you don't mind having iodine colored toenails.

After bathing, rub in some good old Castor Oil. When I broke my ankle and had a cast up to my hips, I was horrified when the cast came off. My legs were so dry and no cream ever worked on them, and with the leg hairs long enough to pin curl, I did as one old guy said I met in the doctor's office. He said get the skin wet and warm, then rub in Castor Oil. It did work well, and sometimes I use it on my skin all over.
