My husband has fungus toenail and had high arabinose levels in his organic acid urine test.
I had a fungus on toenail too (right big toe). it means too acid body that makes acid skin and sweat. It was getting better with sodium bicarbonate but it went away changing diet - drastically decreased milk dairy products and carbo
have he tryed to have alcaline food (low carbo) and water and sodium bicarbonate in the morning?
it is very active against fungus (only pay attention to detox reaction)
