Hi ,
I had tried everything for years to get rid of Toenail fungus , straight Tea Tree oil ( never tried with DMSO) over the counter mixtures…everything! What worked for me was a testimonial I found on the internet, Unfortunately I cant find the link and credit)
I used 6 parts of iodine tincture to 4 parts of 99.9% pure DMSO (and also a 7 part iodine to 3 part DMSO mixture)
Applied 2x daily to affected nails with an eye dropper.
I could tell that it was getting in under and through the nails as the affected skin and nail was lightly iodine colored.
As the new nail began to grow through and nail bed healed, it did not stain or absorb the iodine DMSO in the same way.
I did this for 6 months.
My nails are totally clear of what was a chronic issue and growing back perfectly with absolutly no signs of any fungus.

I would say whatever you do (tea tree, zeta clear, whatever) that for sure – mix it with dmso cream, like one of the testimonials mentioned. that’s bc dmso is a carrier, and it will take whatever you mix into it, and help bring it deeper into the tissue. it also oxygenates the tissue, making it more healthy.

Once I realized I had toenail fungus I started researching home remedies. I tried Clorox, which burned my toes literally. I had to wait until they healed before trying something else. I wouldn’t suggest Clorox. It did kill the athletes foot I had for years though. I have been doing almost all of the treatments. I find that when I do vinegar soaks the spores come off in the foot bath. I have taken pictures after each treatment and you can see the spores everywhere. It’s creepy. Next I tried the hydrogen peroxide soaks and it killed a lot of infection. Then I started tea tree oil. Now I am trying coconut oil with tea tree drops added. I put it on at night with some socks because it is messy. So far my left foot is looking great. My right foot still needs a lot of work but I can see improvement. I really am starting to believe that you have to try it all and see what works best. For me it’s the peroxide and vinegar. The coconut oil helps as well and softens the old dried out skin. I did read that coconut oil works well to get rid of the spores. I will keep at it until this is gone. If you take a picture after treating with soaks and zoom in you will see the most disgusting stringy black things and spores. I am now very conscious of the spore thing and will be adamant about using a new towel and washing them in Clorox afterwards. I think most people don’t realize the thing about the spores and how it can re-infect you, at least I didn’t. Good luck everyone. I’ve been in flip flops since March and plan to stay in them until this thing is cleared.

I’ve battled with toe nail fungus for over 10 years and I’ve tried almost everything out there to help me get rid of the fungus. I have been very happy with ClearFungus as a daily treatment because it has definitely improved the appearance of the fungus but hasn’t gotten rid of it 100%. I recently discovered on another Site that by spraying vinegar with crushed garlic on your infected toenail would help get rid of the fungus and tried it and after using it for 3 weeks now, I can say I’ve seen a little improvement. After the rinse, I put my usual ClearFungus treatment and have seen my toenail less discolored. I still see the fungus trying to come back but I’ve cut down the toenail again to prevent it from spreading and repeat the process. However, I learned on this Site today that by filing down the toenail, you are helping your treatment penetrate to the bed of the nail which is where the fungus lives and not on the nail itself. Duh! why didn’t I think of that. I’ve always tried to push the treatment through the sides of my nail to get to the bed, but I am going to try this instead. Also, I learned that by applying heat to the nail before applying a treatment, the nail’s pores open up and the treatment penetrates to the bottom easier that way. I’m definitely trying these two methods and see how that works. I will also stop any type of color on the infected toes. I’ll keep you posted.
