Just tell the world, because sharing truth freely is more satisfying, and more noble anyway. Sharing this great info is the single reason I joined Yahoo! Answers, and am looking for people who need the solution to this disgusting problem. The answer is:
Listerine!!
It actually works!
I injured a toe nail (bent it back over the toe, ripping the majority of it off it's bed) and then after several months developed a white fungus which later spread to near by nails. People can easily search interesting and helpful information on the web such as: the fungus grows very well in the high moisture, enclosed space of shoes, so I won't go over all that, but rather, just tell everyone that I soaked my toes in Listerine on a regular basis and periodically trimmed the nails back immediately following a soaking and eradicated the fungus from two nails. The original toe had more fungus and is taking longer to cure. Initially when I began soaking last spring, I soaked the whole foot for too long which caused a weird, but brief tingling sensation, and the skin on the bottom of my foot started a slight crack. I protected the crack with Vaseline which quickly healed and began tipping the tub in order to only soak the toes. Once weekly seems to do the trick! (20-40 minutes) It was nearly gone in four months, but then I didn't soak it for several weeks and progress halted, but I believe it will be totally gone soon. Store brand mouthwash with the same Listerine ingredients worked too! Also, most people probably already know we can transfer the fungus from our toe nails to our finger nails by using the same clippers for both. Obviously, don't do that. Own and keep the clippers separate. Smaller for finger nails, larger for toe nails and get to solving the problem quickly. Also, because children forget to not use our clippers, sterilize them by setting them on the coffee pot burner for 10-15 minutes, but plastic on the handles will melt, so use stainless steel clippers and keep them dry and clean.
I'm going to figure out how to tell Listerine too!! I want to thank them for their amazing product!
Wishing you the best!I have discovered a way to cure nail fungus and I want to sell this product. Where do I begin??
You might have to start with the FDA.I have discovered a way to cure nail fungus and I want to sell this product. Where do I begin??
You will have to secure a patent . Otherwise by next Thursday the Chinese will be selling your product at half your price. They probably will anyway.

I need help to get rid of my toe nail fungus. I've tried prescriptive meds, had nail removed, vicks vapor rub?
Janet,
Toenail fungus treatment follow-through is critical for success. Unlike many ailments and conditions, the chronic nature of a fungal infection demands that you follow the treatment regimen consistently on a daily basis. Missing even one day or treatment can dramatically increase the chance of re-infection of already cleared and healthy nail
Many a home remedy for fungus toenail is based on changing the living environment of the fungus. These remedies are focused on increasing or decreasing the pH of your skin and nail. (Acidity- Alkalinity) Some home remedies for nail fungus however are simply crazy things folks have tried that for some reason, it worked for them.
The medical community has strong anti-fungal prescription drugs that attempt to treat the fungus infection internally. While effective, these medications are also very expensive, may not be covered by many health insurance plans, and require blood tests to check for potential liver damage caused by the drugs themselves. Note that all toenail fungus treatment plans including these expensive prescription medications are all subject to number one above.
Toe nail fungus takes time to cure. While many products can make your infected toenails look better, looking better is not a cure.
So there you have it. A toenail fungus is:
Chronic in Nature
Difficult to Cure
Requires Consistent Treatment
Do home remedy or treatments work better than prescription drugs available from your doctor? Only you can decide what's the best course of action in treating your fungal infection. There are many home treatment remedies available but be aware that some don't work. Then again, the same thing can be said for the strong prescription medications a doctor will prescribe. No medication works 100% of the time for every patient.
The difference is the risks associated with taking strong drugs and trying various home remedies. I need help to get rid of my toe nail fungus. I've tried prescriptive meds, had nail removed, vicks vapor rub?
I soak my feet in beer and vinegar. Feels good. Can't say that it really works though. The only thing you can do is be diligent and don't give up. It takes a long time to heal toe nails. Also, I've heard that DMSO works. Can't hurt to try.I need help to get rid of my toe nail fungus. I've tried prescriptive meds, had nail removed, vicks vapor rub?
Go to the podiatrist, he or she can help solve the fungi problem.....
umm i dont know what to tell you maybe you should try eating and drinking the right stuff

Can probiotic help with nail fungus?
I have been told that probiotic can help with occuring nail fungus. Is that true?Can probiotic help with nail fungus?
If you dont want to take drugs, use this. Soak infected area in corn meal and hot water for 3 straight day for an hour. Make a mush and leave on nail. Eat jello every day until that nail grows out and infection gone hello clear nail.
I used lamisil for 2 months, yellow it the top of tip, the moment I got off lamisil it was right back. Used the cornmeal and now have a good nail.

Is there a natural cure for nail fungus?
There are many home remedies for nail fungus but depending on how far along your fungus is, you may need medicine like Lamisil to combat the fungus internally. Some remedies I know of is mixing vinegar and listerine in a 50/50 solution and using a cotton bus (q-tip) to rub the solution all over the nail and the surrounding area. Another method is to dab your affected nail with tea tree oil. You can probably find this at a pharmacy. It's a natural antiseptic, germicide, antibacterial, fungicide. This method has had a lot more success as per some articles I've read online.
My girlfriend had a badly infected big toe. It was hurting so bad, she couldn't wear a shoe or even put on a pair of socks. After finding some tea tree oil, she started applying it to her nail/toe every morning and night. In a few days, the pain went away and the toe didn't itch anymore. She still puts it on daily because it looks like the fungus did it's damage and she may be losing her big toenail. That's OK...a new one will grow back eventually.Is there a natural cure for nail fungus?
Hi,
There are several topical essential oils that have anti-fungal properties chief among them is Tea Tree Oil. Do not buy just any tea tree oil. Many cheaper brands cut the oil with sweet almond oil or grape seed oil. This reduces the effectiveness of the tea tree oil. Look for these brands: Kal, Country Life or Tea Tree Plantation. All of these are 100% tea tree oil. Tea Tree oil should cost around $10 per one-half ounce. You will need to use the oil twice per day. Use it in the mornings and again in the evenings. It has a unique smell, but it goes away quickly. It may take 3- 6 months for the tea tree oil to kill all of the fungus. Take your time. If you can find Neem oil, it is also a great antiseptic. You can mix it with the tea tree oil.
You did not say how long you have had the fungal infection. If it has been more than a few months you may want to take the herb Pau d' Arco internally to kill the fungus while doing the tea tree oil topically. Pau d'Arco does not cause liver damage like lamasil may do.Is there a natural cure for nail fungus?
rub tea tree oil on toes
Soaking feet in blended fresh garlic cloves and hot water
soaking feet in water with some drops of tea tree oil
soaking feet in water %26amp; natural apple cider vinegar

keep feet, soaks %26amp; shoes dry %26amp; clean

lay off of high carb/starch/suguary/dairy/greasy foods
eat alot of fresh veggies
drink plenty of water
get a good multi-vitamin/ pref with b-comlex for hair, skin %26amp; nails
A podiatrist (foot dr) confirmed with me that vicks vaporub rubbed on toenail fungus can really help but can take several months before the healthy nail grows out.
Very important though, that you get a diagnosis from a podiatrist or if hands, perhaps dermatologist, of actual nail fungus because I actually didn't actually have toenail fungus but the scrapiness was from the different medications that I take. The dr. took small nail clippings (from the white tips of nails) that I took over to the medical lab and a few weeks later, received a negative result. He then told me to take biotin to help the nails.
P.S. The dr did say that I shouldn't use tea tree oil for the nails as no one really knows how much of it is safe to use and really what is in the tea tree oil base.get ride of
