  1. I think it also …
    I think it also depends on the climate you live in. I have just been in Turkey where the temperature was more than 105F. I spent most of my days in the sea & didn’t wear socks in the evenings. My toenails grew REALLY quickly during that holiday – and I also noticed that the sea-salt water helped. Around the hotel pool, I couldn’t help noticing how many other ppl had the same problem – French, Germans, Eastern Europeans – I saw many bad cases.

    Anyway, I’m gonna try vinegar next. Cheers!

  2. I’m sorry to say I …
    I’m sorry to say I got lazy and quit after several days but I’m going to start it again. What you said was relayed to me… but that is why treatment needsd to be continuous until the healthy nail grows in otherwise the infection can jump the healthy part and get back into the cuticle somehow.

    But when I was doing it, it was like the vinegar was really soaked into my skin… it was saturated No way fungus can grow in that environment. Just gotta start it again.

  3. You say “after a …
    You say “after a couple of days, you could see white growing back”. How long have you actually been treating your toes with this method? I sincerely hope it is working for you, but just because your toenails appear to have become “white” doesn’t necessarily mean the infection has gone.

    Message me in a few months and let me know if you had any success!

  4. No, I don’t think …
    No, I don’t think you’re right and I hope you’re wrong but here’s why… I have it on one of my toes and I did two things. At night, when I’m on the internet, I soaked both feet in a 1:1 mixture of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. I’m not sure the hp is needed but the vinegar is… I let it soak for 2 hours the first night and then went to bed with a tea-tree oil-soaked cotton ball over my toenail, fastened by tape.

    After a couple of days of doing this, I could see the white growing back out!

  5. I’m not convinced …
    I’m not convinced t-tree oil actually works. Infact, I’m beginning to think once you’ve had this infection, you are stuck with it for life.

    grrrrrrr

  6. I have now come off …
    I have now come off my medication from the doctors. I am now using t-tree oil, however, I am sorry to say my infections appear to be returning again. This is SO annoying for me, as I have worked really hard at getting rid of this.

  7. So what did you do …
    So what did you do to fix it after?

  8. How did you do it? …
    How did you do it? Did you put Vicks on and on top with a band aid? How long did you leave it on/how many times a day/week did you put the VicKs on? What is Nitrate 2%?

  9. would it work …
    would it work faster if I clipped my nails as much as I could and then try to use one of these or several of these solutions combined? I.e. cutting my nails really short then soaking them all in a mixture of 1/3 listerine, 1/3 vinegar, 1/3 water? I will try this and update whenever I see results. I hope people out there are getting the results they’ve been seeking for. This condition is really embarrassing for me. I paint my nails all the time because of it :( .

  10. I’m 17, I’ve had …
    I’m 17, I’ve had toe nail and finger nail fungus as long as I can remember :( . I used to have a bad habit of biting my nails, probably caused my nail fungus… and when I was little, I never cared about drying my feet properly whenever I went swimming and stuff. I didn’t know those kinds of stuff would have such horrible effects. I have it infected on all fingers, except my thumb on the right hand. I had some healthier nails 2 years back but most is infected now:( I’m willing to do what it takes

  11. You can easily …
    You can easily remove the fungus by clipping your toe just behind the nail with hedge clippers. Your fungus will be instantly removed. No joke.

  12. i agree with you
    i agree with you

  13. The laser method …
    The laser method works 88% than any other medication.

  14. I took lamisil for …
    I took lamisil for six months.
    And tried all the quacks he said, still have fungus.

    Lamisil, Spornax or lasers will work. Don’t listen to these quacks.

    when u put one of these things on do u just put it on top of the nail or do u have to put it a certain way?? someone please answer

  20. vicks really work …
    vicks really work great for me,i try everything on the internet and noting work i been having it for 10 years. so i try vicks it clear all my toe nails but it took like a year.but also i took turns with vicks more often and then nitrate 2% on the nails,then you got to keep cutting the nail until the new one comes out.but yes it works.

  21. did any of these …
    did any of these work for anyone??
    answer back please..

  22. Information = QUACK …
    Information = QUACK, will work as well as spit.

  23. That’s good advice. …
    That’s good advice. If someone is very negative within their mind, sooner or later it will have an effect on their body. They say natural sea water can also be very good for this problem. Wish I lived closer to the sea.

    Good luck with your’s too!

  24. Im using tee tree …
    Im using tee tree oil twice a day, and use it on all fingers and between. Before putting any socks on i always use anti-micotic pouder to keep them dry and keep a hostile enviroment for the fungus.

    As i mentioned, the most important thing is to keep a very positive attitude and visualise your toes healhy. Mind is the most powerful medicine. By going at it from both ends (physical and mental), i’m sure they dont have a chance. :D

    Best of luck!

  25. Wierdly its fingers …
    Wierdly its fingers 1,3,5 on both legs 2,4 are healthy. I also do alot of sports and have thsi problem for ages ( maybe 5 years or more)..
