Q. My sister has been going through chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer this past year. She started losing her toenails due to fungus and was shocked at the cost of the medication for this. I passed along your article on vinegar soaks.

She laughed at me at first but decided to try it before spending all that money on the prescribed medication. Guess what? She hasn't lost another fingernail or toenail and the fungus has gone away.

She even made copies of the article and gave them out at the chemo center to anyone who wanted one! Thanks.

A. We are certainly pleased your sister has benefited so well and shared the word. Vinegar soaks are a simple, inexpensive approach to nail fungus. The acid in vinegar makes for an inhospitable environment for fungus.

Anyone who would like more suggestions on non-drug approaches to nail fungus may want our Guides to Home Remedies and Nail Care which have the details. See the left-hand bar for "Buy Informational Guides."
