toenail fungus Comments By: Elaine I would like to know more about Listerine mouthwash...how often do you soak and do you use the listerine full strength? TipKing says: I have not tried this tip. When I am trying to interpret any tip for my personal use I think it through a bit. Listerine is used as a mouth wash so it is not going to cause too much damage to a really awful looking nail. If I had toenail fungus I would want to get rid of it ASAP so to start with I would try anything as often as I could. So I would use the Listerine, whenever I had a few minutes to treat the nails..   Length of Toenail Treatment Comments By: Dona J. Lethbridge, PhD, RN To cure toenail fungus, you have to treat until a new, unaffected nail has completely grown in. It seems, then, that Listerine soaks would be needed, probably daily, for about 3 months. Listerine is a powerful antiseptic so I would guess it might be an effective treatment for a very intractable ailment.   Toenail fungus going away Comments By: Michelle It really does work...after the first day I noticed a big change in my toenails. It must go thru your nail just like it would in between your teeth. It is a little time consuming but other than that its much cheaper than the prescription. Try it out   toenails Comments By: js Just started using listerine today. i will post back when i see or do not seen changes   amounts to use Comments By: paul hi three all just read this form and wonder the quanities one would use, water it down say to cup to a litre of water or soak neat?   Toenail fungus cure... variation on Listerine/vinegar method Comments By: RogWaj I have read several articles about Listerine or Listerine/vinegar curing toenail fungus. The addition of the vinegar is thought to help because of the acidity of the vinegar. Thinking this thru, realizing my girlfriend has an extremely acid tongue, I have been having her rinse her mouth with Listerine then suck on my toes. It is showing great progress after just 3 weeks, feels great and she can't talk with her mouth full.   Fungus and cough Comments By: dg That one cure for a persistent toenail fungus can KILL you as a prescription, via the liver. I think this is worth a try. I've been using Tolfonate for years and have only contained the problem. I used Listerine to kill a cough that nothing else would stop. I have since used it as a gargle whenever the slightest sore throat threatens me with illness and often stop it (several times a day). why not, all the drug companies advertise all the time on TV. We take pills for everything. What about a remedy that can only be suspect because it's not a pill or a by-product of a million dollar advertising campaigne. In short, we're brainwashed. Even our kids take drugs cause they see us taking them to fix everything.   Fungus that is white debis Comments By: Claudia For the past ten dears, I have seen 4 dirrent podiatrist. They prescibed lamilsil for 6 months-no results. then I was put on weekly doses of Diflucan for 9 months-no results at all. Then Keralac topica treatment-zerp results. I finally gave up and ifigured I would have to just live with it. Most not be contagious b cuz it is only on both big toes and has never spread to other toes. It is gross though, I hate to keep spending so much $$ on predicures just to hide it. So know I wil listen to all of you and try Listerine (I am assuming the yellow one as I did try the blue and it turned the nais blue. Whish me luck. How long should I do it? Do some of you folks think Vicks vapro rub is better? Please inform what u have had th most luck with. Best regerds to all..
