Fungus Fix: How to Treat Nail Fungus

Vick's Vapo Rub is the greatest thing! My husband began using it. After a few weeks fresh, clean, fungus-free nails grew out. He was amazed. Now, he uses it once in a while for maintenance. He also tells all his friends (when the subject comes up).

A friend of mine had both of her large toenails removed because of fungus. It was painful and the prescription for the other nails did not work.

I sent her your website info on Vick's vaporub. The prescription meds did NOT work; She tried Vick's on her nails and they cleared up. (She told me.) She was so excited about Vick's abilities to clear up toenail fungus that when she went to her next follow-up appointment, she was going to pull out her jar of Vick's and show him what she used to FINALLY got the visible results.

My husband had toenail fungus on nearly all his toes for about 15 years. He has been reluctant to try the Rx medication because of the toxic side effects.

Last year he decided to try a product he found for sale on the internet that had good "testimonials", Deggurcide. My husband is a biochemistry research scientist, so I was quite surprised that he would try an internet remedy - but he was at the point he was willing to risk a few dollars, but not his liver.

He bought two bottles. It is a liquid that is brushed on once daily after an extensive filing of the entire nail top surface (my husband has a night time routine), and the nails are filed daily, too. The liquid lasts quite a long time and has no offensive odor. I bought some inexpensive packs of emory boards and he only uses each one night and then disposes it.

He also got rid of any shoes that tended to harbor moisture (waterproof linings, etc.)

The smaller nails began to show healthy growth in a fairly short time, a few months. There is no sign of fungus on those toe nails now. The larger nails have taken much longer (about a year), but the new growth is clear and healthy. He is expecting the remaining parts of fungus-infected nail to be gone in a few months.

So far so good. He'll probably continue using the Deggurcide product until the 2nd bottle is finished, even if all signs of the fungus are gone, just to be on the safe side.

We have no connection to the product, except as a customer.
