My father has had toe nail fungus for most of his adult life.  I believe he
contracted it as a cadet at the Air Force Academy.  His toe nails have been
a mess.  He is not able to take many medications per Federal Aviation
Administration regulations.  Lamisil is one of those mediactions.
Additionally he isn't able to take it because he had hepatitis years before
and it damaged his liver to a certain degree.  Lamisil would probably do in
his liver permanently.

Last year I gave him a small bottle of a product called *Formula 3*.  It is
an antifungal manufactured by Tetra Pharmaceutical, Inc of Woodbridge,
Virginia 22195.  It wholesales for about $25 per .5 ounce or 15 ml.  It says
on the bottle it s for athlete's foot and ringworm and isn't effective on
scalp or nail infections but you could fool me.  My father's toenails are
finally starting to look healthy.

I heard about this lovely product at my nail tech's place of business.  She
uses it on all of her clients with nail fungus under their acrylic nails
and/or toe nails.  I have seen it work wonders for other clients and my own
father.

To get it back to BFing.  I wouldn't hesitate to share this information with
a BFing mom.  It is an effective topical.  Because it is a topical at her
feet I can't imagine it causes her too much worry about her milk.  Doctor's
hate treating feet as the circulation issue to/from feet is so difficult.
It won't eat her liver either.

I have no financial interest in this company other than I recommend their
product to people with nail fungus trouble.
