I have nail fungus for at least 5 years. Tried various commercial over the counter products like Funginix etc. My nails got a bit better but the fungus was not gone… when you stop applications the problem reappears very quickly.
Then I came across info about Pythium Oligandrum see owndoc.com. I bought it and applied as explained on their website. I did 2 applications ( 2-3 days each with 2 week gap). You are supposed to wear wet socks soaked with the pythium oilgandrum solution for 3 daysin a row (read their instructions). At the end the nails did not look any different ( i did rough then up with the nail file and cut really short before the treatment).
BUT! To my total amazement now 2 month after !! I see that new growth looks healthy. The nail is now attached to the nail bed in those places that were detached before the treatment. Also the nail is more transparent and healthy looking. It also cured fungus between toes completely!!!
I am planning to buy more and periodically go through 3-day treatments. In my opinion it is better that do 2 applications every day.
Here you do it for 2-3 days (not too pleasant) but then do nothing for a month or so. Then do it again etc.

UNDECYLENIC ACID 25% TOPICAL LIQUID works great for me; (Including FUNGICURE brand).. Medical literature supports this; while finding tolnofinate basically ineffective for nail fungus.. It took me 15+ years to realize my big toenail had fungus; rather than an old injury. . . . With a strong science background, I wonder why many readers here even consider UNPROVEN tactics worth trying.. I think that undecylenic acid may become available in greater than 25% strengths sometime. Thanks good people

My doc gave me Spora…for 3 months, then switched to Lami… (actually Lami… should be the first line, don’t know y he gave me Spora) and using Loce..topical for the whole seven months. Culture found trichophyton species. 7 months getting only worse. When first discover, I used undecylenic 10% for 2 weeks, then apply Scho… lacquer. Microbiologist told me that there’s an antifungal can try called Voriconazole but very costly. I surf on the net saying that the success rate is lower than Spora and Lami. Now try soaking my foot in baking soda and epsom salt, rub chlorhexidine gluconate cream, taking antifungal supplement don’t know if all that works? anyone can share any success stories with home remedies?

My dermatologist told me about Vicks and it worked. She said for whatever reason
Fungus does not like Vicks. Only problem is it comes back. Now on
FFN-RX which is going great.

I tried Piggy Paste for several months with hardly any improvement. I went to a podiatrist and he gave me a bottle of FFN r/x. after one week, I am truly amazed at the improvement. I am to see him in 8 weeks and I suspect the fungus will be completely gone by then.

Dr Christine-

“Now trying the pythium oilgandrum. So far so good. One more application to go with it. Will keep you posted. I had a really tough fungus.”

How is this working? I have tinea versicolor, spots around my waist and abdomen.. was wondering if this would be affective cure?

Thanks!

I have tried lots and lots of over the counter products for years and years. The money I spent on Loceryl! then I started using stuff from the web, When my nails looked good and had grown out, after a month the rotten fungus would be starting to creep back again. Used a manuka cream with an “accelerator”. Held it in check a bit but big problemo… the fungus kept spreading to other fingers and toes. One toe or finger would start looking better and another one would suddenly get it. It was driving me mad. Now trying the pythium oilgandrum. So far so good. One more application to go with it. Will keep you posted. I had a really tough fungus.

No Short Cuts Exist! It helps if you are OCD, Anal Retentive, or just plain Self-Disciplined. 3 months, every day TWICE. All thru Europe & US Tour. Drag the applicator brush across the end of the nail where it meets the nail bed (skin). Then cover nail liberally.. Wear sandals, go barefooted when possible. I even tried putting a condom over the freshly medicated toe, my wife objected. The longer the twice a day application remains undisturbed the better. I do not have the “courage” to Dremel my own toe, but saturation of nail to nail bed is important, hence, twice a day routine. I used “Fungi-Cure” I’m cured, and still OCD, Anal Retentive, & Self Disciplined..Be well. “cured” .
