Acidophilus Beer Soak Instructions by Dr Ben

Essential Ingredients:

• Acidophilus Sachets containing a specific strain of 125 billion organisms.
• Guinness Stout beer or any other dark beer (Guinness is the one proven to work).
• White Vinegar only. Do NOT use apple cider vinegar.
• Basin big enough for your feet or hands.
• Time.
• Persistence and Consistency.
• Spray bottle of Bleach and water (diluted 1 part bleach to 10 parts water).

Before Soaking your feet:

• Get the spray bottle of bleach that you made.
• Spray the insides of all your shoes with it and let them dry overnight. Do this daily after you wear them.
• Get new cotton highly breathable socks which you can bleach. Take your shoes off at work if you can – let your feet breathe.
• Throw away those non-breathable shoes and get leather or open-toed shoes.
• Trim away all dead nail you can careful not to touch your clean nails with your trimmers. Bleach the trimmers between each nail to disinfect them.
• Consume less sugar, less starch and eat a more healthful diet.
• Before dinner, you may seriously consider taking 1 full Acidophilus sachet and mix it in a bit of water. Stir well and drink. Don't worry it tastes good. Do this for 14 days. People who do this have much better and lasting results.

Mixing the Solution:

• Key here: As long as you cover your nails in the solution, you’re fine. The amounts of white vinegar and beer below are estimates.
• In tub, pour 1 liter of room temperature beer into a basin.
• Add 1/2 of the Acidophilus sachet.
• Add 1 liter of White Vinegar.
• Note: You may use less beer and less white vinegar if you are treating fingernail fungus or smaller feet. We do recommend that 1/2 sachet is used per mixture as it is a vital ingredient.

Soaking Infected Nails:

• Wash your feet with quality soap.
• Turn on the TV; get a book or your dog's ball. Basically, find an activity.
• Soak clean feet in the solution for 30 minutes before bed or when best for you.
• On removing your feet or fingernails from the basin, file the infected nail ends and top down with a pumice stone or file.
• Spray or soak your pumice or file in the Diluted Bleach mixture to clean it before filing each toe or fingernail.
• After each 3rd day, toss out the entire solution and remake using the formula: 1 liter of white vinegar, 1 liter of dark beer and the remaining half of one sachet. This keeps the solution's ingredients in active live form. If too old, it will not work. Remember, you may use less white vinegar and less beer but not less bacteria. As long as you cover your nails in the solution, you're fine.
• Repeat for 30 days every day. Do not skip a day for best results.
• Do twice a day for faster results.

Storing the Solution for the 3 days while soaking:

• There is no need to refrigerate the solution for three days as the bacteria are very shelf stable.
• Do, however, store the unused Acidophilus sachets in the fridge.
• I recommend storing the solution covered outside in cool weather.
• If not cool outside, store covered in a discreet part of your home as the vinegar and beer put off an odor. If you keep it covered, this is not a problem.

What to look for: As fungus gets killed by this natural toenail fungus treatment, you will notice new nail growth from the nail base coming in clear. This is a good sign. Some people see clearing at the base within one week and some people see clearing at the base in one month. It all depends on how fast your nails grow and how often you soak them.

Make sure you do this toenail fungus treatment daily. Make it a routine. Watch some TV, read a book or simply relax for 30 minutes.

Slow growing or unhealthy nails?

• If you know your nails grow slowly or sickly, then you may want the MSM or Silicea 6x cell salts as they have shown to increase nail growth.
• If you find that you get gas from broccoli or other sulfur-containing vegetables, then you are likely low in the mineral Molybdenum.
• If you get headaches after drinking red wine, then you are likely low in the mineral Molybdenum.
• This is important because MSM contains a lot of sulfur. If you get gas from the MSM, get molybdenum.

Dr.Ben,

I purchased the 7 sachets and I did the beer soak everyday, it seemed to clear my big toe, but my smaller toe is still highly taken by the fungus. Why would the sachets only help 1 toe instead of both of them on the same foot?

-Amy

Answer:
Hi Amy -

The small nail grows slowly. Much slower than the large nail.

I recommend taking Biotin, MSM and the Silicea cell salts in order to speed nail growth.

If you have not done so, taking the sachets internally is suggested as those with nail fungus typically have an overgrowth of yeast in their digestive tract. Common recommendation is to take 1 full sachet in a 1/2 cup of water right before dinner. Do this for 14 days and then you are done.

Limit carbs, sugars and wear breathable shoes/socks.

If it is only one toe left, you may consider Saprox Natural Antifungal. Apply that to the small toe daily or nightly - and it will grow out cleanly - in time.

You'll get there!

Can I share the soak with my husband, who also has nail fungus?

Answer:
Hi there -

You may share the soak with your husband who also has nail fungus.

The Beer Soak is designed to eradicate fungus so you will not cross contaminate.

A number of customers have shared the Beer Soak solution - a common question ;)

In health,
Dr Ben

Dear Ben,

I read your article on fineskincareproducts.com Re: Toenail Fungus Treatment With The Acidophilis Beer Soak. I have been using this procedure for 1 month now but haven't noticed any changes, in fact, i think the fungus has spread to my other toenails. Please help. -Georgia

Answer
Georgia-

Nails grow slowly - keep doing the procedure for 3 months and you should notice improvement.

What typically happens is other nails may turn white from the vinegar which looks like fungus - those nails have already been on their way to getting nail fungus and the beer soak is making that apparent.

I've had patients state the same situation as you - but it all resolves with continued soaking.

Make sure you take the sachets internally as well to help combat the internal yeast overgrowth that may be occurring. It is common that people have a yeast overgrowth internally which causes a depressed immune function which then causes nail fungus.

Vitamin D is key also.

In health,
Dr Ben

I have suffered for years with recurrent vaginal yeast infections. I have recently introduced a probiotic supplement to my diet, which seems to have put the kabash on my infections.

Why is the probiotic not intended for use in nursing mothers? I am still nursing my 10 month old son and would like to know what supposed dangers exist with probiotic ingestion.

Thanks you!
Ariana

Answer:
Hi Ariana -

I believe there is some confusion here.

ParaBiotic Plus is not a probiotic. ParaBiotic Plus is designed to assist in eradicating parasites, yeast, malaria and bacteria.

A probiotic is ok for nursing mothers and in fact recommended by many physicians.

There are a few instances where this is not true - as in many medical conditions. If the infant has serious gastrointestinal bleeding or other major GI complaints, it is best to seek the advice of a naturopathic physician before the mother ingests a probiotic.

However, studies have shown that mothers who take probiotics while breastfeeding have infants with improved digestion, less skin complaints like eczema and improved immune function.

There is a special probiotic designed for infants which you can get from us that is special order. It is called Neonate and contains bacterial strains designed to assist in the breakdown of mother's milk. This product is given directly to the baby.

I recommend the Acidophilus Sachets for you.

http://www.healthegoods.com/product/acidophilis-sachets-pharmax

For a maintenance program, take 1/4th of an Acidophilus Sachet in a bit of water, stir well. Don't worry - it tastes quite good!

Do this daily right before dinner. Research shows that probiotics taken right before dinner show the best survival rate.

If you ever take antibiotics, take 1 full sachet in a bit of water for 7 days. This will replenish your gut flora properly and help prevent you from getting harmful bacteria overgrowth.

Digestive systems have immune systems built in. When the digestive immunity is weak, people may get ill and harmful bacteria and yeast may begin to take over.

Bifidobactera increase intestinal IgA - which is immunoglobulin A. IgA is a highly important immune cell and, when in the right amount, helps reduce food allergies and maintain healthy bacteria levels.

Bifidobacteria are in high amounts in the Acidophilus sachets.

Should you have further questions, please do ask. We're here to help! ;)

Is the beer soak safe for children?

Answer:

The Beer Soak is safe for children.

The only change: Soak for less time as their toenails are softer than adults.

They should soak only for about 10 minutes.

Rinse off their feet with water after soaking.

I just did a month's cycle of the beer soak treatment and although I saw some improvement, my toenails grow exceptionally slow.So it's hard to get rid of the fungus. I also took the Silicea cell salt semi-regularly and didn't help the growth much. My question is, can I do another 30-40 day cycle and do another 2 weeks of drinking the Acidophilus even though I just finished a cycle without harm? Also, should I try MSM on top of the cell salt for faster growth or do you recommend any other method? -Nima

Answer:

Hi Nima -

I am now recommending Biotin as well. The MSM is great but from my research, Biotin seems to be better.

The Biotin product is new to our site - we will be putting a photo online soon!

This Biotin is the highest content that I have found - which is needed for faster nail growth. There is no known toxic dose for Biotin - very safe.

I will update my instructions soon and provide the research on Biotin.

You may want to take 1 capsule 2x a day. Taking Biotin with other B vitamins or your multivitamin is needed. It is not wise to take only 1 B vitamin by itself as it leads to a deficiency in the other B's.

If you are not taking a multivitamin, I highly recommend that you do. We have an assortment of them. I prefer either the Nutrient 950 or the UltraNutrient.

There is a lot of research supporting the use of Biotin with nail and hair growth. You should see some side benefits of taking Biotin ;)

Keep going with the foot soak - just need to feed your nails.

In health,
Dr Ben

I bought the ingredients for the beer soak, but couldn't find any acidophilus "sachets." Can acidophilus from capsules be used if the capsules are opened and sprinkled into the solution? What's the difference?- Darryl

Answer:

Hi Darryl -

Capsules are typically not good quality if you bought them in stores. There is no requirement for supplement companies to test what is in the capsule...amazing but true.

All the products I carry do test to see what is in the capsules. I require that.

You can open capsules and sprinkle them into the solution. However, the only one that I was told that works is the sachets - which are not sold in stores. I go by what my professors taught me and have had good results.

I cannot recommend enough that one must also take the sachets internally for a period of 14 days. This is essential as fungus/yeast is not just an external nail problem. It typically stems from an internal problem due to antibiotic overuse, poor dietary habits, stress, workplace environment and immune system strength.

People who do the sachets internally along with dietary changes - they get results.

People who simply do the foot soak - they get results but they are short-lived as the internal problems have not been addressed.

You may find sachets here -

To encourage faster nail growth, I suggest Biotin - 2 capsules twice daily. You may notice healthier, fully hair along with healthier skin as well.

Should you have further questions, please do ask.

In health,
Dr Ben

Are the acidophilus sachets in tablet or powder form?

There is acidophilus that is in tablet form on  this web page. Will this work?

Question:

I was wondering if it were possible for the beer soak to be done without the beer? Would I still get good results with just vinegar, and the Acidophilus sachets?


Answer:

Hi Vincent -

You may try without the beer.

The use for the beer is to soften the nails which allows the vinegar and acidophilus to penetrate the nail faster.

What I have found over the years with this treatment is that it is absolutely essential for people to take the sachets internally as well.

I highly recommend taking 1 sachet in a bit of water during dinnertime. Do this for 14 days.

Soak your nails for 30 to 45 days and observe the new healthy nail bed growing in.

Also try to eat protein with each meal and reduce the amount of carbs and sugar in your diet.

If your feet are always cold, warm them up with better wool socks. Wool socks are better than cotton as they wick water away.

If you have athlete's foot, treat your shoes and socks with a diluted bleach solution.

I highly recommend you toss all cotton socks and purchase high quality wool socks. Get breathable shoes as well.

I recommend that you purchase 21 sachets to start. You qualify for free shipping on this amount also.
