A new process and design, applicable to essentially all patients with onychomycosis, that represents a major ‘low-tech’ breakthrough in curing fungal nail infections that are a major source of irritation, morbidity, expense and mortality. The process begins with removal of the overlying infected nail (hands or feet). This achieves a primary ‘debulking’ of the infection, and subsequently allows access to the underlying common infection of the nail plate / bed and vascular supply. Removal can be done painlessly, inexpensively and safely in one of two manners, as detailed in the ‘SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION.’Following removal of the overlying infected nail, the underlying nail bed is systematically treated for 4 to 7 days to eliminate remaining fungal and bacterial infection. The nail bed, once or twice daily, is first soaked in a warm hypertonic solution of Epsom salts, sea salts and vinegar for 1 to 5 minutes. The nail bed is then dried vigorously and a mixture of antibacterial and antifungal cream or spray is then applied. This area is then covered until the subsequent treatment cycle of soaking, drying and antibiotic application is repeated.
