After a decade of hiding his feet and a terrifying hospital visit, the 63-year-old grandfather shares what finally worked

Nail Fungus Treatment Device

For 10 years, I was a prisoner in my own body. Eight of my ten toenails were thick as coins – so hard that regular clippers would just slide off. The smell was so bad my wife Emma started sleeping in the guest room. I hadn't been barefoot in public since 2013. Watching my grandkids run around barefoot made me feel like a walking infection waiting to happen.

Every morning, I'd struggle with industrial-strength clippers, sometimes resorting to a Dremel tool just to grind down the yellow, crumbling mess so I could squeeze into my work boots. The constant burning and itching between my toes made 12-hour shifts pure agony. When a nail finally separated from the nail bed completely, I knew I was losing the battle.

I'd already wasted $3,427 on treatments: prescription pills that nearly destroyed my liver, laser therapy that did nothing, creams that burned like acid. My podiatrist finally admitted what I'd suspected – "Dave, you'll probably have this forever."

I was ready to give up. Then my 6-year-old grandson changed everything. But first, let me properly introduce myself – I'm Dave Wilson, 63, from Brisbane, and this is the story of how I finally beat nail fungus after a decade of hell.

Then I Discovered The Worst Part:

  • What started as one yellow nail had spread to eight out of ten toes – watching it take over healthy nails one by one was like watching an infection consume my body.
  • My 6-year-old grandson Lachie's toenail had a tiny yellow spot. The same spot I'd ignored 10 years ago. I'd given this curse to an innocent child.
  • Emma wouldn't share our bathroom anymore. She'd found my toenail clippings despite my careful cleanup and said "I can't risk getting what you have."

I was disgusted with myself. I had almost passed this dreaded nail invader on to my family! Then everything went downhill fast.

The Price I Paid: Hospital & Excruciating Pain

Then came the day that changed my life.

3 AM. I woke up to my foot throbbing like it had its own heartbeat. When I turned on the light, my big toe looked like a swollen purple sausage. Yellow pus was oozing from where the nail met the skin. The smell – God, that smell – filled the entire bedroom.

Emergency room. The young doctor actually stepped back when she saw it. "Mr. Wilson, this infection has spread to the bone. We're talking about potential amputation if the antibiotics don't work. How long have you been walking around like this?"

I could have lost my toe—all because I shrugged off what seemed like a "harmless" nail issue.

After my emergency room nightmare, I realized I'd been treating nail fungus all wrong for years. My desperate search led me to a breakthrough solution that podiatrists are now recommending to their own patients...

My Search For Help Led Me To Dr. Jeremy Campbell

Dr. Jeremy Campbell, nail fungus specialist and developer of ClarusNail technology

He has spent the better part of the last decade creating innovative solutions to help people eliminate nail fungus. His success rate was quite sensational: 93% of patients saw improvement within 12 days. Major medical journals were taking notice..

His website was packed with testimonials from grateful men and women who claimed that he had changed their lives. A quick search revealed his work has been featured in the Journal of Laser Medicine and multiple podiatry conferences - this wasn't just another internet doctor selling snake oil.

So I decided to pay for an online consultation with him. And after a quick small talk, he explained how nail fungus develops and why nothing had worked for me.

I understood for the first time how nail fungus develops and why it has been so difficult to get rid of it

Medical diagram showing how nail fungus develops in the nail bed and spreads

As we age, our nails can become brittle, dry, and prone to cracking, which creates openings for fungi to sneak in.

This fungus can spread in various ways, including through communal areas like pools, gyms, and nail salons, as well as from wearing dirty socks or shoes or having poor foot hygiene.

When a fungus infects our nails, it starts to thrive and grow in the nail bed, which is the skin beneath our nails. This area provides a comfortable environment for the fungus to grow.

As it continues to grow, it attacks the nails, causing them to become discolored, thick, and distorted. This condition can also lead to an unpleasant odor and pain.

This means that as long as the fungus is present at the nail bed, the nail will continue to grow again and again, affected by the fungus.

The problem lies in the following: traditional home remedies and drugstore products only fight fungus on the surface of the nail, but not in the nail bed where the fungus resides.

Drugstore products in the market only eliminate fungus at surface of the nail. In other words, they are useless.

Although they may temporarily push back the fungus on the nail surface, the active ingredients do not penetrate to the nail bed.

As a result, the nail grows back again and again, being attacked by the fungus.

I finally understood why everything I had tried before couldn't work at all.

Nail bed diagram

Dr Jeremy Campbell's analogy really made sense to me.

"It's like trying to clean the inside of a jar without opening the lid – the treatment can't get where it needs to be to work effectively."

Oral Medication for Nail Fungus Could Be Your Worst Nightmare!

Liver damage from medication

Your doctor has probably prescribed you oral medications for your nail fungus - but Dr. Campbell believes that's actually the worst thing you can do.

Why? These medications are potent and can put extra strain on our liver, which could result in liver damage or worse.

As Dr. Campbell explained: "Taking oral medication for nail fungus is like using a powerful cannon to scare away mice from your house. Sure, it might work to scare off the mice, but it also risks damaging the walls of your home in the process."

Not to mention that these oral medications are also likely to cause numerous side effects, such as massive hair loss, loss of taste, gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions, and many more.

In conclusion, taking these medications may cause more problems than it solves.

Finally, Dr. Campbell Revealed a Method to Effectively Treat Toe and Fingernail Fungus Without Harmful Medications

And that's by eliminating the fungus that thrives in the nail bed.

If you can get rid of the fungus that thrives in your nail bed, your nails can start to grow normal again.

But how do you do it?

Topical treatments only target the fungus at the surface of the nail.

On the other hand, nail removal surgery can be painful.

So... What's the solution?

I asked Dr. Jeremy the same question.

And that's the first time I heard these words:

Low Level Laser Therapy

This Technology Penetrates Deep Into The Nail Bed Where Medications Can't Reach, DESTROYING Fungus At Its Source, And Restoring Healthy Nails In Record Time.

Nail fungus treatment device in use

Dr. Campbell showed me a breakthrough he had been developing with a Swiss med tech company: It's called ClarusNail. This device uses advanced low-level laser therapy (LLLT) combined with targeted blue light at a wavelength of 415 nm. This unique combination penetrates deep into the nail bed where fungal infections hide - exactly where creams and solutions can't reach

I was skeptical at first - how could light kill fungus? Dr. Campbell explained that this specific wavelength has been proven in peer-reviewed studies to disrupt fungal cell walls while being completely safe for human tissue. "Think of it like a targeted antibiotic, but using light instead of chemicals," he said.

The technology does two crucial things:

  1. It disrupts the ability of fungal cells to reproduce
  2. It promotes tissue repair and regeneration
ClarusNail in action

Using the device is simple: just place your affected nails (toes or fingers) under the light for 7 minutes a day. You'll feel a gentle warmth as the light penetrates through your nail - it's completely painless and even soothing.

Let me be clear. I've never experienced anything like ClarusNail in my entire life - and I've tried pretty much everything under the sun.

It is so much more effective than pills or creams because it targets the affected area and addresses the root cause of nail fungus directly.

In Just 7 Minutes Per Day, This Device Delivers Results That $800+ Medications CANNOT:

1
As Fast As 12 DAYS:
Yellow discoloration begins to fade as healthy nail grows in
93% of users report this milestone
2
3-4 WEEKS:
Thick, brittle nails begin to smooth out and strengthen
87% success rate by week 4
3
8-10 WEEKS:
Complete transformation - 60-100% clear, healthy nails
81% complete recovery rate

And you'll witness your nails returning to their healthy appearance, something you thought you'd never see again.

No chemicals, no side effects – completely painless and actually works where other treatments fail!

No more hiding your feet in boots or sneakers, you can wear sandals or go barefoot without giving it a second thought.


My Success Story with the Treatment

I started using ClarusNail daily. It was incredibly simple: turn it on, hold it on the affected nail for a few minutes—that’s it!

Using Therapy Device

Before: My toenail was thick, discolored and unhealthy looking.

After 5 weeks: The fungus began to clear up, with visible improvement in nail color and texture.

After 10 weeks: My nail looked completely healthy—no discoloration, no thickening, as if I'd never had any issues!

But Don't Just Take My Word For It - Here's What Other Users Are Saying:

Here Is What Amanda, 65 Says About Her Experience With ClarusNail

Amanda's before and after results

LORD HAVE MERCY where do I even begin??? 20+ years of this nightmare!!! I'm talking THOUSANDS of dollars - those prescription pills (gave me the WORST stomach problems), 3 laser sessions at $800 EACH (did absolutely nothing!!!), I even - and I'm embarrassed to admit this - tried soaking in diluted BLEACH because I was that desperate!! My poor toenails got so thick I literally had to use my husband's tin snips. I am NOT exaggerating.

The absolute WORST was my daughter Emma's beach wedding. Everyone barefoot in the sand, and there's me in closed shoes making up lies about a sprained ankle. Do you know what it's like watching your daughter's wedding through tears because you're too ashamed of your own feet??? I tried EVERYTHING - even slept with Vicks on my feet wrapped in plastic wrap for 6 months straight (my poor husband!!).

Then I saw this device online and honestly almost didn't buy it. Another hundred dollars?? But something made me try ONE more time. Day 11 - I was in the shower and this thick yellow chunk just... FELL OFF. And underneath?? PINK!!! ACTUAL PINK NAIL!!! I called my sister SOBBING. She thought someone died LOL!!

Fast forward 3 months → I'm at the community pool with my grandbabies. IN FLIP FLOPS. ME!!! IN FLIP FLOPS!!! My husband keeps taking pictures of my feet because he can't believe it either!! If God can heal these disaster feet of mine, ANYONE can be healed. Trust me on this!!!!

Mike here. 55. Run a crew of 12 blokes on commercial sites. My feet? Mate, absolute shockers. Couldn't cut the bloody things with normal clippers - ended up using my wire cutters. No joke. Boys wouldn't sit near me at smoko when the boots came off. Fair enough too, smell was rank as.

Doc put me on them liver pills. Twice. First go round - spewing every morning before work. Second time my blood tests came back cooked so he pulled me off em quick smart. Three grand I spent on that rubbish. THREE GRAND. Nails got worse if anything. Missus cracked it. Made me wear socks to bed. Wake up with em soaked through. Disgusting.

Was up late one night googling this stuff (sad innit). Found this light thing. Thought stuff it, what's another hundy. Week one - could actually see skin again. Week three - put the angle grinder away for good. Two months on - wearing normal socks that don't get shredded. Got 6 good nails now. Missus is back sleeping next to me. That alone - priceless mate. Hundred bucks? Bargain.

MEDICAL WARNING: The Hidden Dangers Of Untreated Nail Fungus Your Doctor Won't Tell You

If I had acted immediately, I would have avoided my emergency room nightmare and permanent nail damage.

What starts as an "embarrassing cosmetic problem" can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation:

The 4 Dangerous Stages of Untreated Nail Fungus:

  1. Stage 1: Yellow discoloration (WARNING: Fungus is already destroying nail bed)
  2. Stage 2: Thickening and brittleness (Internal nail structure deteriorating)
  3. Stage 3: Spreading to other nails and family members
  4. Stage 4: Bacterial infection requiring hospitalization, possible amputation

Every minute you wait, the fungus grows deeper and becomes harder to treat!

This isn't just a harmless annoyance — it's a progressive condition that WILL get worse without proper treatment.

  • It won't simply vanish on its own.
  • The longer it's ignored, the worse it can become.
  • Address the problem now with this revolutionary solution!

I wasted years spending money on useless creams and ointments.

Today I know: This incredible device was my salvation!

ClarusNail Has Already Helped Thousands of People Heal Their Nail Fungus

Because I'm still in contact with Dr. Jeremy, I know he is receiving dozens of these emails daily.

Every single day there's a new amazing story from another person that got his or her life transformed thanks to this effective but affordable Blue Light Nail Device.

Will your story be next?

The bottom line?

If you're still hiding your feet in 2025, you're missing out on a solution that actually works.

IMPORTANT: You Won't Find This Device In Department Stores, On Amazon Or Ebay

Empty store shelves

Here's why you won't find this breakthrough device in stores – Dr. Jeremy refused $4.2M from major retailers who wanted exclusive rights to mark up the price to $747.

"I watched my own father suffer for 15 years with nail fungus that eventually led to toe amputation," Dr. Jeremy revealed in a private call. "This isn't about maximizing profits – this is about getting this technology to everyone suffering before more people end up hospitalized like you did, Dave."

Medical supply distributors price comparable light therapy devices at $597 minimum. Even specialised podiatry clinics charge $120-220 per treatment session (requiring 6-10 visits).

That's why Dr. Jeremy and his team sell directly to customers.

And that's why you are not going to pay $597 - which is the recommended price for a device of this caliber.

Dr. Jeremy doesn't want the price to stand in your way.

So you won't even pay half.

So even though they charge $219.90 per device on their official website...

You won't have to pay that today - but this special pricing ends within 24 hours!

Via this EXCLUSIVE link only, you can get your ClarusNail Device for a limited-time price of just $109.95!

That's a FULL 50% OFF the website price of $219.90.

Want proof?

Try emailing their customer service. You can literally reach them 24/7.

I'm a living example of that being true.

I understand you've probably spent countless hours researching this condition online. You've likely joined forums where fellow sufferers share their stories and home remedies. You've probably created your own concoctions in your bathroom, mixing this oil with that cream, desperate for something - anything - that works. It's exhausting, isn't it? The constant trial and error. The brief excitement when you think something's working, followed by crushing disappointment when the fungus returns.

That endless cycle stops today. You don't need another experiment. You need what thousands of former sufferers have already discovered - a proven solution backed by science and guaranteed to work, or you pay nothing.

The Only Risk You Could Possibly Face Is One Of Pain And Regret If You Miss Out

Now, let's take a moment to consider what happens if you don't take action now.

Because the reality is, you have two options ahead of you, each leading to vastly different outcomes.

NOT RECOMMENDED

Option #1:

❌ Continuing with what you've been doing until now... Investing time and money in solutions that deep down, you know don't really work...

❌ And basically, accepting that you'll have to deal with the embarrassment and discomfort forever.

More Pain & Embarrassment
RECOMMENDED

Option #2:

✅ Make the smart decision to try this Blue Light Nail Device and have a real chance to turn things around in just weeks.

✅ Enjoy the confidence of healthy, clear nails and stop worrying about embarrassment or discomfort.

Either it works as advertised and you'll experience a massive relief.

I've spent the past decade trying to fix my nail fungus. Nothing worked - not the expensive prescription creams, not the pharmacy solutions, definitely not the Pinterest remedies everyone swears by. I was hesitant about trying yet another product, but this little device is the real deal. My toenails and even the fingernail I was embarrassed about actually started clearing up within a few weeks! My husband noticed first. No more hiding my hands or feet - I even wore flip-flops to my granddaughter's graduation. Simple to use and worth every penny.

OK so I've dealt with this gross toenail thing since my 40s. Tried the pills (made me sick), tried the weird soaks (stained my bathroom!), even did two laser sessions at the foot doctor that cost a fortune. Nothing helped. Bought this on a whim and honestly didn't expect much. But holy cow - after about 3 weeks I started seeing clear nail growing in! It's been 2 months now and my nails look almost normal. My husband stopped calling them my "dragon claws" lol. Way easier than I thought it would be too.

I'm typically skeptical of these kinds of products, but my podiatrist suggested I try light therapy for my persistent nail fungus. I decided on this home version rather than expensive office treatments. I've used it consistently for 6 weeks now, and I'm seeing definite improvement - much more than I expected, honestly. The thickness is reducing and there's healthier nail growing in. It's not an overnight miracle, but for the price compared to medical treatments, I'm impressed with the results. The device is simple to operate and comfortable to use.

Registered nurse here - 17 years on my feet. Haven't been to a proper beach resort in 12 years. Always pick hotels where I can hide - no pools, no spas, definitely no sandals-required restaurants. Last year skipped my best friend's Fiji wedding because I couldn't face a barefoot beach ceremony. Being in healthcare, I knew the prescription options (and their liver risks). When I saw this uses medical-grade light therapy like our wound units, I thought worth a shot. 8 weeks later I booked a cruise. First vacation where I'll actually use the pool. Still can't believe it's working.

Divorced 3 years ago. Want to know why I stayed single? Couldn't imagine taking my socks off in front of a woman. One time a date playfully tried to give me a foot massage and I literally ran to the bathroom. That's what 15 years of fungus does to your head. Tried everything - even that prescription that costs $600 a month (insurance laughed at me). This light thing? First real improvement I've seen. 2 months in and I can see normal nail growing. Actually went on a beach date last week. Kept my shoes on but still - progress. If you're where I was, just try it.

Look it's working but I gotta be honest about a couple things. My big toe that was basically dead for 8 years? Starting to look pink again after 7 weeks. Amazing. BUT - the battery dies quick. Like every 4 days I'm hunting for the charger. And that beep when time's up? Can barely hear it over the TV. Still using it though cause my wife noticed the smell is gone and that's worth gold. Just wish they'd fix those small things. Good product overall.

Let me be real - this thing WORKS. 9 weeks in and 7 out of 10 nails look normal again. First time in 12 years I can see actual nail bed. BUT (and why I took off a star) - $100 is rough when you're living on social security. My podiatrist charges $185 just to look at my feet and tell me "try this cream" so yeah, this is way cheaper than that joke. And my neighbor just dropped $2,400 on laser that did zilch. So I KNOW this is a steal. Just stings when $100 is your whole week's food budget, you know? If they made it $69 they'd probably sell a million of these things. Still recommending it to everyone at the senior center though - it's the only thing that's ever worked.
