I have had a toe nail infection on 3 of my toes for around 4 years, i have tried every type of cream and nail treatment. The nails have this white stuff in them and it goes into theskin behind it. The podiatrist said nothing works aside from tea tree oil, but that hasn't fixed it either, he also metioned a drug but I have other health problems and he said only do it as a last resort and its not causing any problem, but it looks yuck and i have to keep cutting them down, my big toe is only half a nail and all chalky white stuff on the skin, hard to get off. Any advise?

OK, now this is not as easy as it sounds, and if you miss a day you have to start all over again.
Pour vinegar into a bowl, and soak toes in bowl for twenty minutes every day. Do not miss a day. This takes about three months, but it really works. You will have nice nails again. The infection is coming from the nail bed, and it is usually caused by a fungus. The vinegar stops the fungus from growing that day, and clean, clear nail starts growing.

the original Fungi-Nail. It comes in a brown jar and it's near the pharmacy in wal mart. I've had 2 nail fungus attacks and this stuff works. It goes away within 2 - 4 weeks if you use everyday like twice a day. costs like 6 or 8 bucks, maybe less.

Try soaking it in hot, salty water, for about 15 minutes 3 x a day. Heat and salt are excellent anti-biotics.

sounds tame, but it works great on athletes foot: dilute bleach water bath, soak for 10-20 mins. (one part bleach 5 parts water). should zap any organism....
