Vinegar for Fungus

Maybe it really wasn't nail fungus.

I tried vinegar mixed with water for toenail fungus a few years ago, with a little success.
Six months ago, or maybe as long as a year, I started using Hydrogen Peroxide mixed 50/50 with water and applied with a Q-tip. All discoloration is gone and my nails are going back to normal shape.

I think Hydrogen Peroxide works the best for toenail fungus. I had great results.

My experience with healing a nail fungus was by soaking the foot in APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (not distilled vinegar) in full strength. Repeated infrequent soakings for three weeks. The fungus has not returned since I did this two years ago.

My dermatologist had me soaking my feet every day in warm water with 2 tbs of white vinegar. He said that it adjusts the PH of the skin and helps to prevent fungus and infection. He recommended it to me since I was a diabetic.

For 8 years I have been trying to get rid of nail fungus on both my big toes. Went to countless docs, took expensive meds and one day a friend suggested your web site and I found so many possible remedies that I just picked one. For 4 months I have been using the 50/50 vinegar and water solution twice a day after I shower and my nails are FINALLY growing in normal! I cannot tell you how excited I am! Thanks so much for all the helpful non-toxic options!

I found using tea tree works every time for toenail fungus.

I was just wondering if you could use tea tree oil in the ear for fungus.

I had developed a fungal infection under my fingernails and my MD didn't want me to take the anti-fungal medications for fear it would exacerbate another condition. He advised me to soak my fingertips in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water as warm as I could tolerate for 15 to 30 minutes, three times a day. The fungus disappeared after about 20 days. That was 6 years ago and I have never had a recurrence.

I have had psoriasis for many years. With this dreaded virus comes yellowing fingernails and toenails along with both being brittle. I found that if you apply metholatum ointment (Vicks) to the nails twice a day, the nails will clear up in a month or two.

Zeasorb-AF for athlete's foot worked well and fast after persistant AF. Had tried everything! I continue to use it after showering. Spread the word.

I supposedly have psoriases and have used every ointment imaginable over the past ten years to no avail; well, one worked that had an antibiotic, but cost me $25, which I cannot afford. I tried the fungus for feet cream, and it has helped as much as any of the others. Some doctors say it is a fungus and others do not. These are skin specialists! Help!

I had a nasty and persistent case of athlete's foot that damaged my big toenail so badly my doctor referred me to a surgeon to remove it. Fortunately my brother had read about the vinegar cure and I soaked my feet in straight white vinegar about 30 min a night, a few nights a week for a few months. It was easy, just soaked them while checking my email. The athlete's foot cleared up and never recurred. My toenail grew back nice and healthy. I'm a believer!

I used tea tree oil and cut back the nail for about one month to get rid of most of the fungus nail, as soon as the nail was very short (near the half moon) i started soaking it 2X a day in vinegar and no more tea tree oil, and it grew in nice. whole process about 6 months!

I have successfully used vinegar many times for both fungal ear infections & vaginal yeast infections (tho my doc is extremely skeptical of the latter). The trick is to maintain contact, not just rinse.

The recipe for ears is 1 pt vinegar, 1 pt isopropyl alcohol & 2 parts water. Flood the ear & use a cotton ball to maintain contact for an hour or so twice a day for 2 days. (I found tea tree oil burned my ears even when diluted with mineral oil.)

The recipe for vaginal yeast requires a diabetic type syringe to inject 50-50 vinegar water into a tampon. Repeat twice a day for 2 days (with a fresh tampon, obviously).

And please report back whether this works for you. No one believes it when I tell them, and I have never seen it written anywhere.

I'm a nurse with horribly cracked and peeling fingertips. The dermatologist gave me the strongest cortisone cream available and after a year I still had the problem. Another doctor told me it looked like a fungal infection and gave me anti-fungal creams - which did not work very well. Then my mother told me to use Vick's Vaporub - within 2 days my hands were almost completely cured!!

I used full strength distilled vinegar to soak my feet in once a week for one hour each time. The toe fungus disappeared after a couple of months.

I am now being treated for ear fungus. The ear drops prescribed by my doctor are so painful that I almost collapsed upon use.

Can I put full strength distilled vinegar into my ear?

I just started the VapoRub, first night a big change. Have had this for years, too fearful of the pills and didn't know what else to try until I found this site. Thanks

I have toenail fungus and it's terrible. I can't go to the beach, can't wear sandals and even swimming pools are out of the question. oh... and I keep my socks on :(

I took lamisil for 3 x 3 months (3 x $1200.00) It didn't work. then we did a 400 dollar biopsy ($410.00) of the fungus to make sure it is fungus and not cancer. turns out it is a fungus. So we switched to sporanox 2x a day. for 3 months. ($ 2100) didn't work. I have tried tea tree oil, bleach... nothing helped. so I'm gonna try the vinegar... at least it's cheap.

I have had athlete's foot for 1 year. I was using lamisil for a year but it was getting worse, little by little. I spent probably $100 on lamisil cream, total.

Then I tried vinegar. Straight vinegar painted onto the fungus and rubbed in with my finger, enough to saturate it.

Vinegar has BLITZED it in three days. The fungus is still in there, I can tell, but the level of improvement is so far beyond lamisil that it makes me furious-- why are they allowed to sell that overpriced crap when a dime's worth of vinegar does a far better job?
