I just found out about the fott and nail fungus and what the dr. told me was very depressing. I am so glad to have found this site and am going to try the tea tree oil and vinegar. I also have athalets foot so I don’t know if that will help. Also have boumps on the bottom of my feet that my Dr told me we assosiated with the spider veins I have and thats what they were. This is a dermatologist telling me this. I will let you know what happens in my serach and trials.

You mentioned the vinegar remedy for nail fungus. For me, it was the single most successful treatment I ever tried. And the vinegar smell was no problem–as soon as it dried on my feet, there was no smell at all! Now…there IS a specific process in apply the vinegar correctly, and lots of ways to do it incorrectly. But if you master this, vinegar is the safest, surest way to go, IMHO.

thanks for writing this blog!

Thank you for all the good advice. I have been suffering with this problem since I departed the military. Someone apparently didn’t tell them that it is not healthy to be in the trenches for extended amounts of time in combat boots and wet feet. Then the clencher is that they will not pay for the medicine that they claim will cure it. It costs too much. I am glad now that I did not get it because of what I have read today. I am going to try the tea tree oil and vinegar to see if one or the other helps. I also get these itchy bumps on the bottom of my feet which explode once you scratch them and the skin peels. Oh, the agony! Excruciating pain and itching! I don’t know if that is connected, but hopefully this new remedy will help.

Thanks again Maxi

mixed success… i think the fungus has been contained on a couple of the nails… but it’s not showing any signs of relief on one toe nail… but then i haven’t been as diligent as i should be…

Two FDA Registered products manufactured by Almell Products, Ltd. under the brand Poshe’ in Dallas, Texas, USA — http://www.poshenails.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=25
One is a nail polish — it stays on the nail. The other is a cuticle oil which soothes the surrounding tissue which tends to become irritated. Effective in treating and preventing fungus, mold, yeast, and bacterial infections. These products are very popular professional products, are used extensively in Salons and Spas, and are also recommended and sold by Medical Professionals. They worked for me.

I am a Foot Doctor (podiatrist) who firmly believes in “Fungasoap” for treatment & prevention of all types of skin & nail fungus. It works beautifully on skin simply by using as a daily wash. You see and feel a difference right away. More importantly it prevents re-infection.
Lets face it folks; fungus in the nails is a different story. I start my patients with Fungasoap & topical tea-tree oil and then wait, up to one year. If there is no improvement, I then opt for Lamisil or surgical removal of nail plate. The latter usually takes care of the problem and as the nail grows back again (One Year) I encourage use of “Fungasoap”. The key is to understand that ANY treatment on fungal nails will take ONE year. Why? It takes one year for the average toenail to grow out completely. Nobody tells the average consumer this fact and therefore patients become discouraged and never complete treatment. And once you’ve gotten rid of the fungus you can become re-infected rather quickly after completing treatment drug. That is why “Fungasoap” shines. Regular routine showering or bathing with the product prevents re-infection 95% of the time in my office. Use it before & after your visit to the Pedicurist. It is made by Pedifix Inc. 1-800-PEDIFIX

I used tea tree oil on nail fungus, and found that it helped. I added an equal amount of tincture of myrrh, and found that more effective. (Myrrh is a natural astringent, and has natural antibiotic properties, and, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, promotes healing.) I found the combination to work faster, you still need to wait for the nail to grow out to get rid of the yellow. Trying to work the mixture under the nail (not so much that you hurt yourself) also speeds things up.
Also, taking some herbs to tonify the immune system may help, I personally recommend mushrooms like shiitake, reishi (ganoderma), maitake, and cordyceps, alone or in combination, each of these mushrooms seems to improve immune response.

Well, how about an update. Did the The Magical Tea Tree Oil work? Are you now free of nail fungus?

Anyone try: “Clearly confident Fungus Treatment” by Ganeden Biotech
Does it work?

I read somewhere about water-picking your nails with Listerine. Anyone try that and have good luck with it?

I had this nail fungus for over 20 years of my life. Basically I have tried every treatment known including everything natural as well as prescription drugs. The Rx drugs almost cured me but then I ran out of Lamisil, the one nail that was still infected spread to the rest of the nails and I was right back where I started! Be extra careful when taking anti fungal drugs like lamisil, when I was on it I notice a ton of hair loss and also had heart palpitations.

Thanks to exercising in too-tight gym shoes, I have had a toe nail fungus for more than a decade. I tried Lamisil three times and it didn’t work. (the second time, it suppressed my appetitie so much that I lost 15 pounds, along with some of my hair — gasp!) I tried Penlac, the prescription nail polish. Didn’t work. A nail tech recently suggested a fungus killer that includes miconazole nitrate. It cost me $10. I am praying for results! I am encouraged by the post above. As a woman, I can polish my nails and still wear sandals. But oh how I wish I could go au-natural! I started the new strategy this week, will report back soon!

I have been getting my nails done since I was thirteen years old and about six months ago a fungus showed up on two of my finger nails. I tried everything to get rid of it. I heard about a supplement on Doug Kauffman’s show called Caprylic Acid at http://www.pionair.net . I purchased this anti-fungal supplement and after a few weeks the yellow look in my nails was gone. My nails are now clear of fungus and look healthier then they ever have. I have use all kind of fungal treatment and this has been the only one that works.

I have had fungus on my toenails since I was very young about 5 or so and nothing in the last 28 years has worked as well as miconazole nitrate. I have seen more dermatologists in my life than I care to count. I have even done the Grisofulvin treatments. They were mildly successful but I could not understand why the Doctor would not give me prescription long enough to completely kill the infection. One refill and I have to return for another visit and another presciption and pay for another doctor visit. I got tired of the merry-go-round.
I recently found a topical cream at Wal-Mart of all places that has worked well for me. I began using it twice daily but only use it once daily now. Along with the nail infection I had tenia pedis that I would consider severe and totally involved the soles of both of my feet. I knew through years of consultations that I had to cure that problem first. I saw marked improvement in approximately one week. No cracking, itching, burning or dry flaking skin. I have been using it now everyday since April. It has been a slow battle with the fungus, but I am satisfied with the results thus far. I even bought sandles for the first time in my life this summer and wore them out in public. It sounds like a small thing but it was very liberating for me. I have noticed that my nails have reduced in thickness and several of them are almost clear and present relatively normal. If you didn’t know what they looked like before you’d never know. The cream is called “Clearly confident Fungus Treatment” and claims to be military strength. It’s produced by Ganeden Biotech and costs about $14.00 for a 1 oz. tube.
I’m ready to close this long episode in my life and have written what I have to ask if anyone else has used this product with absolute success. I’m now interested in information on long term usage of this product. I have scoured the internet looking for any information or personal experiences but to date have found none. More to the point, I am interested to find out if anyone has experienced any reccurance after an extensive period of use. Please contribute your experience and best of luck to those effected.
