Anybody have success with this remedy? If yes, what regimen did you follow and how long did it take to see results?

Was this recommended by your physician?

Also heard amber colored Listerine is a good remedy.

My daughter was just told by a podiatrist she needs laser treatments for 6 mos. to get rid of her toenail fungus, and insurance does not cover it.

My daughter had toe nail fungus.  Her podiatrist said some patients had results using it twice a day for 6 months or more.  Few OTC remedies make it go away completely.  The nail needs to grow out.  Your big toe nail can take up to a year.

She tried it faithfully for a few months then let it grow out with no further treatment.

My doctor told me to put Vicks on my toe nail fungus. He said it does sound strange, but it works. I put it on twice a day. It was gone in about a week. I was surprised it worked. He also said vinegar would work.

• From the Mayo Clinic Web site :   "Many people have had success with Vicks VapoRub. One study of 18 patients showed that 56 percent had partial improvement of signs and symptoms, and 17 percent saw no improvement. To use this method, apply a small amount of the product daily with a cotton swab."

Using Tea Tree Oil is even more highly successful than Vicks.

I lost my nail do to injury and the new one came in yellow and thick.  I am using this on a bandaid 24 hours a day and in one week the new nail is coming in like a healthy nail.  If you look this up, some say it can cure anything except death.  Cost? about $5.00

Ingredients: Cold-Pressed Black Cumin Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa)

Tea tree oil has worked great for me.
