I am afraid of Lamisil and its side effects. Any thoughtful comments welcome.

I've been told that tea tree oil is too weak for nail fungus (I tried it). I'm currently trying "wild african sage oil" on one foot and "thyme oil" on another an comparing results. Little change so far (been a couple weeks) but I think I might have a chance with these oils. I've also considered having my toenails removed since the fungus grows UNDERNEATH the nailbed.

Hello dear, I share your opinion on Lamisil,it's not too effective and have enough side effects. I know also how disturbing is that problem. I have made attempts to use Tea tree oil for nail fungus. Alas, it's really a lot good and working in various conditions regarding types of bacteria and fungi, but doesn't work for mail fungus. I am glad that I can share with you my successful experience with 100% `natural remedy,called Citrosept ( it is a Norwegian trade mark) and consist 100% pure extract from grapefruit seeds. It has amazing and safe ,stable results for nail fungus. Wish you luck!

I have used them both and got the best results from Lamisil oral tablets. I too am concerned about the effects of Lamisil and had to get my liver function tested before and after it use, which is what they recommend. The tea tree oil would work if you could get it under your nails, but this is very hard if not impossible. It certainly isn't convenient. I would go with the Lamisil (Systemic or oral pills), although it does depend on your comfort level.

I didn't have any luck with Tea Tree Oil, but I'm using Vick's Vapo Rub (Wal-Mart's Equate brand is the same and cheaper) three times a day with great results.
I may not have used a good brand of Tea Tree Oil.

I know it works on certain kinds of fungus, but if the fungus that you have is very dark forget about it...you will need to get something from your doctor, nothing over the counter will work. I personally have never had this condition, but my dad has alot of trouble with his feet since he is diabetic. He uses it as a preventative as well.

NO...IT DOESNT WORK.....YOU NEED TO SOAK IN HOT WATER AND CLOROX.....THEN....KEEP THEM CLEAN AND DONT TRY TO DIG DOWN UNDER....IT JUST FORCES THE FUNGUS FURTHER DOWN.....APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SOAKS WORK ....IT TAKES TIME TIL THE NAIL IS HEALTHY AGAIN....KEEP OFF THE REPLACEMENT FAKES...
