IT'S A FAIRLY COMMON HEALTH ISSUE
WE DON'T GENERALLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT
AND IT AFFECTS UP TO 20% OF AMERICAN
WOMEN.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TOENAIL FUNGUS.
AND WITH US THIS MORNING IS DR.
PAUL KINSINGER, WHO IS HERE TODAY, HE'S GONNA'-
IT'S A VERY PERSONAL ISSUE BUT WE'RE GONNA' TALK ABOUT IT.
WE'RE SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON THE SET.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON JULIE.
PAUL, YOU KNOW, MEDICALLY SPEAKING,
REALLY, WHAT IS TOENAIL FUNGUS?
TOENAIL FUNGUS IS ACTUALLY A FUNGAL
INFECTION OF TOENAILS OR IT CAN BE FINGERNAILS, BUT 99% OF THE
TIME IT'S TOENAILS AND IT AFFECTS THE
NAIL BECAUSE YOUR TOENAILS HAVE
LITTLE PORES AND THEY'RE NOT LIKE
FORMICA, SO FUNGAL SPORES CAN JUMP IN.
AND WHAT'S AMAZING TO ME IS THAT IT AFFECTS ONE IN FIVE WOMEN.
VERY, VERY COMMON.
AS A FAMILY PHYSICIAN, THERE'S MEDICATIONS,
THERE'S LASERS, AND I DIDN'T LIKE THE
TOPICAL PRODUCTS THAT WERE OUT THERE.
SO YOU CREATED, AND I LOVE THE NAME OF
THE PRODUCT, PIGGY PASTE.
I LOVE IT.
IT'S FUN.
NOW TELL ME WHY AND HOW
YOU CREATED IT.
WHEN YOU HAVE MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
AS A PHYSICIAN, YOU WANT TO HAVE THEM
SAFE, YOU WANT THEM EASY TO USE, AND
FOR PIGGY PASTE, I HAVE SAFE INGREDIENTS.
I'M A HOSPICE PHYSICIAN, SO I'VE PUT
THE BEST INGREDIENTS IN THE BEST PENETRATING GEL AND I FIGURED
OUT ALL THE OTHER TOPICAL PRODUCTS
YOU PUT OUT HERE ON THE NAIL, YOU
PUT PIGGY PASTE BACK HERE AT THE
CUTICLE NAIL JUNCTION, PUT A BAND AID ON IT OR DO A HAIR
DRYER FOR THREE MINUTES AND SO IT'S
EASY TO USE, ONCE A DAY.
THERE'S ENOUGH IN THE PRODUCT FOR
THREE AND A HALF MONTHS AND A NORMAL NAIL GROWS OUT IN THAT
AMOUNT OF TIME.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I LOVE ON YOUR WEBSITE IT SAYS, "A FUNNY NAME
FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM"
AND THIS IS SERIOUS.
IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
IT'S A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE
PEOPLE CAN GET, DIABETIC PATIENTS
CAN GET INFECTIONS ABOUT THEIR NAIL.
IT CAN BE PAINFUL TO WALK IN SHOES.
I HAD POLICEMAN AND OTHER SOLDIERS
THAT HAVE CHRONIC PAIN IN THEIR FEET BECAUSE THEY DON'T, THEY
HAVE SUCH A THICK NAIL THAT IT HURTS
ON THE INSIDE.
IT SURPRISED ME THAT IT AFFECTS, YOU KNOW, ONE IN FIVE WOMEN.
WE'VE KIND OF PUT IT TOWARD THE MEN,
BUT IT'S SIGNIFICANT.
YOU CAN GET MICRO-TRAUMA JUST BY KICKING A COFFEE TABLE OR BY
SOMEBODY STEPPING ON YOUR SHOES, BECAUSE
THEN THE SPORES, IT'S DARK AND MOIST
ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR SHOE, THAT'S
WHY MOSS GROWS ON THE NORHT SIDE OF A TREE-
UGH.
-AND SO YOU HAVE FUNGUS SITTING IN
YOUR SHOES THAT JUST JUMPS IN THAT
COMPROMISED EXTERNAL NAIL SURFACE.
WELL, IT VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON
AND I HEAR YOU MIGHT HAVE A SURPRISE
FOR ME THIS MORNING.
I, I DO.
I WONDER IF WE COULD HAVE
JOYCE WOLKALY FROM SARASOTA COME ON?
ABSOLUTELY, JOYCE, COME ON OUT.
JOYCE, THANKS FOR COMING.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
ALL RIGHT, YOU'VE GOTTA' TELL ME YOUR STORY.
WELL ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO, UMMM, I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT PIGGY
PASTE.
AND UHH, I HAD TOENAILS THAT LOOKED
LIKE THIS FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS.
WOW.
I TRIED EVERYTHING.
I TRIED ALL THE LIQUIDS.
I TRIED ALL THE CREAMS.
I TRIED ALL THE HOME REMEDIES.
I TRIED THE, YOU KNOW, THE VAPOR RUBS, YOU KNOW, YOU
COVER IT.
I TRIED THE BLEACH.
I EVEN TRIED THE, THE...
EVERYTHING.
YOU NAME IT, I TRIED IT.
AND IT JUST WASN'T WORKING.
SO THEN,
I TRIED PIGGY PASTE.
AND WITHIN FOUR DAYS I SAW A HEALTHY
CUTICLE AND I WENT, 'WOW!
THIS REALLY WORKS!'
AND I KEPT ON USING IT.
AND I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, EXACTLY TWELVE
MONTHS LATER, I HAVE TEN PERFECT PIGGIES.
AND NOW I'M NOT ASHAMED TO GET A PEDICURE.
DOCTOR, IS THIS TYPICAL OF THE STORIES YOU HEAR?
WE THINK THAT THREE OUT OF FOUR ACTUALLY, THAT I WORKS THIS
WELL.
OKAY, IT DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERYONE, BUT IT DOES, IN FACT,
WE HAVE THESE KINDS OF TESTIMONIES
ON OUR WEBSITE THAT I COULDN'T MAKE UP AND I HAD TO MEET JOYCE
BECAUSE SHE WAS JUST SO PASSIONATE
ABOUT HAVING A MEDICAL PROBLEM FOR SO LONG AND BEING ABLE TO
USE AN OVER THE COUNTER PRODUCT THAT
WAS SAFE AND EASY TO USE.
DOCTOR, WHERE CAN WE FIND PIGGY PASTE?
IT'S NATIONWIDE AT WALGREENS AND IT'S AT SOME WALMARTS RIGHT
NOW.
AND INDEPENDENT PHARMACIES IN ILLINOIS.
FANTASTIC.
I MEAN THIS GREAT.
JOYCE, THANKS FOR COMING ON.
THANKS.
GREAT STORY.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
IT WORKS.
I'M SURE THERE A LOT OF WOMEN OUT
THERE WHO- IT REALLY, REALLY WORKS.
-FEEL THE SAME WAY.
THANK YOU TOO PAUL.
SO GREAT TO HAVE YOU.
