I tried a product called Zerofungus which seemed to work initially but since my nail fungus was so bad it could only go so far.
My nails were yellow and down right manky! I had to move onto something a bit stronger. I eventually found a nail fungus treatment called Fungusil which is working really well for me. The nails are slowly getting clearer and the yellowness is going away thank goodness

I had gotten toenail fungus one day, and while using my nail clippers to trim my toenails, I forgot to clean my nail clippers. Well, needless to say, I used those same uncleaned nail clippers to trim my finger nails, and so my fingers ended up with the fungus in it. I have tried other remedies from reading what others have posted, but none seemed to get rid of it.
One day, I brought my fingers to my nose and sniffed it. There was an aweful odor coming from my fingers. The fungus had gotten so bad that I had to do something.
I have tried using Listerine twice daily but it did nothing to take it away. One day, a thought formed in my head of a remedy and I took the initiative and went for it.
I took one quarter cap of Clorax Bleach and put it into a small bowl, and then added 6 to 8 ounces of luke warm water to it. I soaked my fingers in that solution for 3 to 5 minutes being extra careful not to splash bleach water onto my clothing. After that, I washed my fingers and hands thoroughly, then disposed of the bleach water down the drain. Since that first soak, it has not come back.
You may have to soak a second time if you see signs, but I doubt you will. Give it a try, but just be careful that you are not allergic to bleach, and that you use a minimal amount. Bleach is used in some hospitals as a cleaning agent to disinfect hospital rooms, beds, and furniture after a patient is discharge to home. So I figured why not give it a try. After that first soak, I have gotten rid of it, so far.
Good luck to all of you. Hope it works for you...and if it does, leave me a comment. Thanks.

I have tried over and over to rid my nails of this ugly fungus. It wasn't until my my good friend saw my nails and offered a simple cure that has cleared the problem totally.
Table salt and olive oil yes right from your kitchen. Mix the two ingredients til olive oil is consumed by the salt. Dab a little on each infected nail twice a day and let the healing begin.
