LOL glad you have your toe nail back. The treatment would have been much faster had you taken Oral Anti-Fungal Meds.

I understand your concern but if you read the side effects even Aspirin has a TRUCK LOAD of 'em. But most of the serious side effects are extremely rare.

On a related note people complain about Side effects of Meds all the time (and Rightly so) but continue to live un-healthy lifestyles (smoke, loads of Alcohol, Trans Fat, etc) which is a little Ironic :)

I really hate this argument. Life is not binary. That statement is not ironic.

I might want to be a healthy individual, but I'm not required to go on a raw food vegan or paleo diet in order to do. Griseofulvin or it's friends, however, is designed to cure an infection, and taking it does not require me to quit eating sugars, carbs and alcohols or stop smoking, rock climbing or breaking the speed limit on the highway.
