Tetrasil is a topical medication that claims to cure nail fungus by combining the effects of oxygenation and Tetrasilver Tetroxide (TST). TST is a crystalline molecule, which conducts electricity. The makers of this product claim that this substance binds to the surface of viruses, fungi, and bacteria. The conducting properties supposedly disrupt and eventually kill the nail fungus. The action is similar to that of colloidal silver, which has shown some promise in treating skin infections of all types. How does this work? I have no idea. It could be a complete scam, but it is an interesting concept to me.
Tetrasil also contains jojoba oil and organic wax. Both of these ingredients serve to condition the skin. Many topical nail fungus treatments can be very tough on the skin surrounding toe and finger nails. Frequently products contain harsh acids, which can help kill the fungi, but are also harsh on surrounding skin. It is important to keep skin healthy and moisturized. Dry, cracking skin can lead to bacterial infections or even fungal nail infections.
Nail fungus is an extremely difficult condition to cure. Therefore, I am always somewhat skeptical of many treatments I find on the Internet. This particular one sounds interesting, but doesn't seem to have much hard evidence to back up it's claims. The testing that is shown on their website is somewhat vague in my opinion. And the variety of microorganisms that Tetrasil claims to kill is amazing, if not unbelievable. Fungal infections, cancer, and bacteria all are listed.
