00:00Hello everyone, hello! Lavrentia Valione is here with you, and this is the second foot of that
00:04client who came to me with diabetes, the one where she had a serious infection with pus.
00:09On the second foot, the toe looks like this. Very thick, very yellow, resembling a rotten little
00:15stump. Yes, by the way, I'm showing here that I'm working with a budget-friendly Dr. Alex Drill,
00:20rated for 45,000 RPM. Naturally, I never turn it up to the full, 45. People just wrote to me
00:25saying that it couldn't handle it. Well, as you can see, it handles everything just fine.
00:28And I filed a whole lot here, mostly using carbide bits. And it was a good old familiar
00:35debridement, but adjusted for diabetes, as the client has the insulin-dependent form.
00:42Of course, everything was done very carefully, and probably five times slower, so as not to make
00:47the wrong move, because it's much easier to accidentally hurt clients like that. So we work
00:52carefully. We work unhurriedly. Right here, there is also this very strong inward curling of the
00:58nails. We haven't even talked about a corrective system yet. For now, the goal is just to relieve
01:03her discomfort. And of course, get her to finally see a doctor and manage her diabetes. Take care of
01:10her health, her diet and self-care. Because it won't just go away on its own, and it definitely won't
01:17get
01:17any better if she doesn't deal with it. So right here, it's just a routine debridement. And of course,
01:23to answer whether it's fungus or not, well, it most likely is fungus. Except that I don't have a scanner
01:29built into my eyes that could pinpoint the exact type of fungus. So we can only assume. Of course,
01:35getting a test done here is a must. 100%. 100%. And while I'm doing the debridement,
01:43I want to tell you that for a fungal test to show an accurate result, well, like in this case,
01:49for example, you need to warn the client that before taking this very test, it's better to
01:54hold off for about three weeks. From any treatments, amicadrills, exodrills, and all those other drills,
02:00you know, meaning any antiseptic products, any medicinal ointments, nail polish, gel polish,
02:07basically from acetone containing products, anything that could affect the nail plate in any way.
02:12The nail here is porous, it'll all soak deep inside, and no test will show anything. And most
02:18importantly, do not wash your feet before taking such a test. I understand that everyone wants to
02:24come with clean feet, but I recommend not washing them. Well, roughly speaking, for a day. Well, I
02:30understand it sounds like harsh, but you really need to come with unwashed feet, because that's the
02:34only way the test will show if there really is something or, well, there definitely is something
02:39here. You just need to know what, I mean, understand that it's not enough to simply know that there is
02:44a
02:44fungus. Why are we running the test? We need to run the test in order to find out which specific
02:50type is
02:50there, so the doctor understands which medications to prescribe for you. Don't prescribe medication for
02:55yourself. Because fungi can be very different, and they are affected by different medications.
03:02That's what you need to understand. And the most important thing is that when the doctor,
03:06well, let's say, yeah, let's assume you went and you did all of this, just as I've just told you,
03:10the fungus showed up. The doctor prescribed a medication for you, and you didn't fully follow
03:16the recommendation. Meaning, you need to apply it. If they said apply it for a month, say morning and
03:20evening, then apply it for a month, morning and evening. If they told you to apply it and also take
03:24something orally, then apply it and take it strictly on schedule. Because if we don't do that, the client,
03:30oh, well, more precisely you, right? We're talking about you. You might develop resistance. That is,
03:36your fungus becoming resistant to treatment. And it will mutate. Well, mutate, if you will. That is,
03:42it will learn. Just like artificial intelligence learns, fungi also know how to learn. To adapt to
03:47everything. Because they've been around for some gazillions, billions of years, and so on, longer than us,
03:53anyway. They might be a bit smarter too. So, if you're given a full course of treatment,
03:57it definitely needs to be followed very, very strictly. Well, as for us, we've finished
04:01debriding the nail here. Everything is good and clean here, as much as I could do. I didn't dig too
04:06deep. I could have reached a tiny bit more in there, but I didn't want to risk it, because
04:09I didn't want to cause an unnecessary wound. That's all from me. I'm Aleona. Bye bye.
