Fungus @ MindSay 
These toe nail fungus remedies are usually discovered by people by accident, or even by trial and error. A lot of people have shared their experiences with these cures with other people until a lot of people have also discovered that it works with them too. Here are some popular and most effective natural toe nail fungus cures:
1. Vinegar and Apple Cider - If you are searching for a toe nail fungus cure, natural materials such as apple cider vinegar, as well as tea tree oil are the most popular ingredients. You soak your toes in a solution containing these ingredients. You'll see a difference in a couple of weeks, but it will take a lot of months to be finally rid of it.
2. Natural Oils - Other toe nail fungus cure natural materials are clove oil, lavender oil, red rosemary oils, lemongrass oil, and Epsom salts. These have antifungal as well as antibiotic properties, so they will help contain the toe nail fungus.
3. Mouthwash and Vicks - Household materials such as Listerine, Hydrogen Peroxide and Vicks vapor rub have been also shared by a lot of people as other effective cures. Some have even reported that their nail fungus have disappeared only a few days since they've tried these alternative cures. They mix these ingredients with water and then soak their toes in it for around 30 minutes a day. Though household materials, these don't pose any health threats like prescription medicines. By the way, a lot of prescription medicines can cause damage to the liver, so be careful in using them.
4. Cayenne Pepper - Many people are also recommending cayenne pepper as well as coconut oil as a toe nail fungus cure (natural method). It will take several months for the fungus to completely disappear, but if one takes precautionary measures such as wearing sandals more often and avoiding moist environments for the feet, this will speed up the treatment.
5. Zetaclear - There are also products available that are made of all-natural materials that are proven to cure toe nail fungus. Examples of which are zetaclear. Their key ingredients include tea tree oil, lavender oil and clove oil, which are nature's antibiotics.
6. Urine Therapy - Urine therapy is another promising natural cure for toe nail fungus. One has to drink around 3 cups of one's own urine in the morning. The results come in just a couple of days, most have reported. Urine therapy has a lot of benefits aside from curing toe nail fungus. One can research more about it and discover its different benefits.
Try the natural treatments before going into medication. Though they may take different healing times, you can be assured that you are safe as well as you can save on the costs since they are readily available.

Dandruff's genes sequenced
By Maggie Fox,
Health and Science Editor
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - First, researchers grew enough fungus to give dandruff to 10 million people. Next, they sequenced its genes. Then they found out that not only does an icky fungus live on your head and cause dandruff-- but it could be having sex. On your head. Right now.
(I guess that is where some people get those strange thoughts of 'voices in their heads' from.) 
A team at Procter & Gamble Beauty said on Tuesday they had sequenced the genome of Malassezia globosa, a fungus that grows on the skin of between 50 percent and 90 percent of the population. It causes dandruff and a range of other skin conditions.
(If they are having sex on your head I don't even want to know what other conditions they might be suggesting.) :(
Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers said their study can shed light on ways to fight not only dandruff, but an infection that can threaten the lives of newborns.
(You don't want to shed any light on them while they are having sex. You might tick them off.) 
"A complete genomic sequencing of a Malassezia genome opens tremendous opportunities for researchers to understand the interactions of fungi and humans," said Thomas Dawson, a scientist at P&G Beauty who led the study.
(Opportunities to find out what other kind of critters are having sex on our bodies ?) 
"It's amazing that the understanding of the genetic make-up of a microscopic organism can have broad implications ranging from human health to agricultural science."
(Agriculture, yes. Fungi having sex party's in our food.) 
The team at P&G Beauty, a subsidiary of the company that makes household products ranging from toilet tissue to shampoo, said M. globosa is capable of excreting more than 50 different enzymes that help digest and break down compounds in the hair and scalp.
(Does that mean they clean up after the sex orgies are over with ?) 
"The M. globosa genome sequence also revealed the presence of mating-type genes, providing an indication that Malassezia may be capable of sex," they wrote in their report.
(I guess that is what all that related scalp itch is all about) :D (The next time anyone asks you how long it has been since you had sex, just scratch your head and say "I just did".) :P
Other fungi can reproduce sexually, but this particular type had not been known to, Dawson's team said. This means it could find a way to evade dandruff shampoo.
(Having sex cancels the affects of dandruff shampoo ?)
They said dandruff can affect up to 90 percent of people, and that it has been known for more than 100 years that Malassezia can cause dandruff and eczema.
(And wild sex orgies.)
Malassezia fungi also cause systemic infections in newborns, and is related to some fungi that affect plants such as corn.
(Now they are having sex in corn ? I'm not eating corn anymore) :O
The fungus joins organisms ranging from yeast to rice to human beings that have had their genomes sequenced.
(What are they going to go for next ? Crotch Crabs ?) 
Dawson's team said they grew 10 liters (quarts) of the fungus, "equal to the amount of fungus that would be found on the heads of 10 million people," the company said.
(What on earth would anyone ever do with or why would they ever want 10 quarts of dandruff ?) 
today's visit with the psychiatrist -who claims to do therapy went - okay, She didn't tell me her life history and dispite a few things that bothered me I will see her for a while. On the positive side she seems bright and quick and she's a preferred provider so therapy only cost $15. a session. and she gave me temazapam. On the negative side of the chart she oftenlooked out the window rather than keeping eye contact, when she hour was over she simply said "time' sup!" rather than waiting for a pause and gently saying "we are going to have to stop for today." and most petty but worst is she has a horrible toenail fungus and was wearing sandals. Okay I am biased- i know it's hard to get rid of the fungus but them you can wear socks or a closed toe shoe........no. I am particularly picky about feet. always have been. Once as a young woman I stopped dating a very nice man from Oberlin because he let his toenails get too long.
Did you know that in the dancer's world there are different kind of feet? The Greek or Morton's foot - most common in the US - has a longer second toe. The Egyptian foot has the first toe longest- this is the worst foot for toe work. My foot is called a peasant foot or Giselle foot. the first three toes are about the same length and make a great base for pointe work. My shoes now hang on a hook in my dressing room, over the window along with a set of feathered angelwings. Don't ask me about how I got those.
P.S. based on shadeofgray blog I took the what is your soundtrack quis and
I am Mozart. Eine Kline Nachtmusik.
Yes.
and is anyone doing the quiz at my alterego's site?
Ok, here is a picture of something I noticed along a coastal, but overgrown, trail in Hawaii. There were several instances of it, prompting me to take a picture and see if I could figure out what exactly it was, but I have never solved the mystery (must admit, I didn't really know where to start after looking in plant identification books without luck). Perhaps someone here can help solve the mystery?
My guesses were- fruit of the plant it is growing on, fungus growing on the plant . . . . alien slime from outer space?
Growing old disgracefully is not as easy as I had assumed it would be. There's a lot of planning involved and not a little bit of re-thinking. This is very hard work.
So anyway, tonight I found a jar of pesto at the back of the 'fridge which was a bonus because it was exactly what I needed at that time. Now, I admit the jar has been there for some time; in fact the "use by" date is written in aramaic. So it should have come as no great surprise that when I opened it there was a loud "pop" and a cloud of something exploded out of the top ... I believe now that this may have been a cloud of spores.
What has been growing in the pesto since B.C. is anyones' guess, I only hope I haven't destroyed some new and emerging life form. I may have done a bad thing but I swear it was in self-defence. I thrust the lid back on and trapped the spores inside ... I hope. I then made sure the hot water was running fast before opening the jar under the tap, hopefully killing everything inside.
They mostly come at night ... mostly.
If I die in the next few days or weeks, please cremate me and send my ashes to the Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee to be added to the metal for a new bike.
