Tom -
Following here is an article that I found out on the internet.  It
appears to have good advice similar to what I've heard about home
cures.

However, my neighbor, who suffered a nail fungus problem last summer,
only had mild results trying these methods.

She ended up buying Lamisil (over the counter), and it cleared it up
in short order.  It's a fairly inexpensive product.

Hope this helps!

Homeopathic Treatment For Toenail Fungus

A homeopathic treatment for toenail fungus cure or remedy can in fact
be effective for many people suffering the embarrassment of nail
fungus. While you may have fought or are fighting this condition now,
if you're reading this, the lack of a complete cure has no doubt
increased your exasperation with the condition.

The problem is simply once you have it, it's very difficult to
completely cure regardless any promises that claim they have a quick,
easy or simple cure. While you may be researching for a homeopathic
treatment for toenail fungus on your own, remember that by it's very
nature, onychomycosis is considered chronic.

When considering the various homeopathic options, understand that no
remedy can restore your toenails in a week or even a month. Toenails
aren't alive in the sense that your hand is alive. So while your hand
can heal, toenails cannot. To regain healthy nails you need the time
it takes to grow out new nail material while also protecting the new
nail from becoming infected.
Another thing to remember is that any homeopathic treatment for
solution will not work with your effort. Here are two that seem to be
related and quite popular.

Alkalize - Alkalize

Eating high alkaline foods is claimed by some to be an effective toe
nail fungus. Not extremely effective according to some reports but may
help with very mild cases of nail fungus. Note that the most popular
homeopathic methods to treat this condition use vinegar, a natural
alkaline product.

Vinegar - Homeopathic treatment for toenail fungus
Vinegar has been used with success in treating a variety of ailments
including toe nail fungus. The idea is basically the same which is to
make the living area of the fungus uninhabitable by changing the Ph
balance. Although not a scientifically proven method, using vinegar
does have a much larger group of people claiming successful cure of
their toenail fungus.

There are some home remedies that offer a measure of hope and actually
have attained some success. That is, if you believe the number of
testimonials for some of these "cures." Home treatment remedies like
odorless iodine, vinegar and tea tree oil have a much larger
following. These products are claimed by many to have helped with
their nail infection than the rest of the treatment solutions
offered.

Products like FUNG-B-GONE are all natural and help clear toenail
fungus with regular use. It's a great homeopathic treatment for
toenail fungus solution to a difficult to cure problem.

Only you can decide what therapies from the homeopathic or home remedy
world you want to try. Remember however that re-infection is a
concern.

I've heard it claimed tea tree oil is effective. Understand I wouldn't
use tea
tree oil in toothpaste but for something used for a limited period of
time one might get away with it. Anyway recall some of the strong
RX antifungals are very nasty endocrine disruptors if I recall
correctly.

Check everything I wrote out before making a judgement one way or
another.

White vinegar is it.  Just apply it to the toe (so it can seep under
the nailbed as much as possible) a few times per day.  Worked well for
my dad.

New development  which I hope is a good thing.  Today one very infected toe
nail (big toe) split and is breaking off.
If the entire nail comes off what should I do to discourage the fungus from
growing?
