Objective: Onychomycosis, also known as nail fungus, is caused by yeast, dermatophytes, and non-dermatophyte molds. Factors contributing to infection include high humidity, wearing poorly ventilated shoes, and repeated trauma to the nails. Infection typically begins in the subungual space beneath the nail plate. Clinically, onychomycosis presents as whitening changes in the nails, and its incidence increases with age. Common diagnostic methods include microscopic examination, fungal culture, and nail biopsy. Case Report: The patient in this case study is a woman in her 50s who, in 2022, developed linear onychomycosis lesions on her toenail, which subsequently spread across the entire nail. Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT), consisting of methylsulfonylmethane, tromethamine, and sunflower seed oil, was administered for one month. Following treatment, the lesions diminished, and the affected nail was shed. One year after initiating OCNT, a significant improvement in the fungal infection was observed. Conclusion: The OCNT administered to the patient in this case study resulted in a clear improvement in onychomycosis, with complete resolution of the lesions. Although this therapy was tailored to a single patient and may not be generalizable to all cases, the objective symptom improvement and positive impact on quality of life make this case meaningful.
