I tried it. I'm in my forties and healthy and a podiatrist finally talked me into oral Tabernafine. It is the only thing that worked! I had the fungus on my toenails for decades and now wish I would have done this a lot sooner.
Tea tree oil for athletes foot. Moderate success. Necessary. Oregano oil is super hot and can be corrosive long term to nail. Use carrier oil with oregano oil. Apply carefully. Diet is super important. Reduce sugars/starches. Learn up on fungal life cycles and reverse engineer your strategic approach. Multiple therapies carefully considered are better than just single treatment options. Be cautious but be firm in your resolve to control the fungal laden nail. Read up on composition of human nails and then consider your approach. Lifestyle is to be thought through as well. Fungal loving conditions need to be addressed. Each human responds differently. Create a hostile environment for the specific fungal bloom you have on your body. Don't neglect your own safety. You are what you eat. Control is the first step. I've been at control for toenail fungus for 5 years. Very gradual decline in discolouration but I still need to keep at it daily without overloading my system with potential toxicity. Early morning UV from Sun should factor in to your control measure. Also oregano whole herb fresh from garden eaten with meals. Reduce sugars. Reduce favourable environmental conditions for fungus. Be persistent . Be safe to your body. Hold your mind to higher energy to assist your body in its defence. Keep at it. You have to find your own tools to deal with it by knowledge applied. Use olive leaf extract and pure grapefruit seed extract. You can make your own grapefruit seed extract using fresh fruit and dehydrate the rinds and seeds. Process for ease of consumption. Monitor how your body feels. Don't overload too soon. Build up slow.
Vicks works for a lot of people
It did not work for mine. I have been using vicks and castor oil with a bandaid every night and have been seeing good results
There’s not one thing that works. It’s all trial and error. It may or may not work for you. Fungus comes in many forms. That and all around diligence and hygiene play a factor in success. But I can tell you that if anything is going to work it can take up to a year of daily treatment and care. And even if it works, it will most likely return. Once you’ve had TNF, you will always have to treat and treat your entire foot. If you hassle the fungus in one spot, it will simply move away from there and grow somewhere else. It’s pretty tough. So try any of the home remedies and see if they work for you or not. Others’ experiences don’t apply to you. I’ve read a lot of the science which is where I’m coming from.
No it didn't help used both
I had mixed luck with tea tree oil. Sometimes it worked, and my nail improved a lot, other times it was ineffective and the nail got worse. It seemed like some bottles were better than others, although I used the same brand.
Doesn't work
Anonymous member 330 , Congrats! Terbinafine, tea tree oil, Vicks, Listerine, over the counter, Laser treatments, etc. didn't work for me at all. So far, I think that I have tried everything on the market and I still have the fungus but I have been able to keep it from spreading to the other toes over the last two years, so that is something. I was told that it is a systemic thing caused by Candida type of virus. I had an invasive toe injury years ago and that is when it started. I may need to see a Naturopath next to see what they think.
Anonymous member 330 do you have any side effects from oral terbinafine
I have the same thing as you as I have hammer toes and they get injured alot and that caused the Candida.
They check my liver before, and Midway through my numbers were up. I had to take one month off then recheck. The liver. Numbers were fine so I finished the prescription. No side effects but I do not drink coffee nor do I drink alcohol. Some people say that may cause side effects
you use the Vicks & castor oil together ? Or how do you apply them ?
yes I put the vicks on the toenail and then a small drop of caster oil on a bandaid. I feel like the caster oil helps pull the vicks into the toenail
thank you 😊
This works amazon or walmart
