White Fungus Solution - Fungus under fingernails.

There are many gardeners around the world that would appreciate this bit of info.

You could be very healthy and get this gardening, doctors are seeing scores of patients each year, and there WAS not sure cure for it. The medication ranges from medication taken internally or topical, ALL was way too expensive and unreliable! Nothing worked, just prolonged the pain and suffering. And the medication has to be monitored in case it damages your liver, that's why many doctors refuse to prescribe it.

The fungus somehow gets under your fingernails and eats away at the bed of the nail until it totally falls off. This is like a long and burning torture! I saw my mother with it in the toenails and fingernails (raised her 9 children and kept a large garden), younger brother had suffered with it in all his fingernails and lost them, this takes many weeks and months to grow back. My cousins also had it, and all of us live in far distances from one another.

Yes, all suffered, until it hit MY FINGERS! Well, no one or anything messes with me! After I had enough of it, I began to think outside the box (so-to-speak). I said, "Hmmm, 'fungus'? I wonder...and looked at the bottle of 'Tilex Mildew Remover', it says it kills all fungus!" I took a paper cup and put a couple drops in, then I rested a toothpick in it for a couple of seconds, then ran it under my nails, and voila! Never again will I suffer this, been years since and never came back, too bad my folks suffered before me!

How may times did you have to cure yourself with the tilex? Just one time or you kept a routine until you saw results?

I just started getting the white fungus separation like a week ago in like 5 of my fingers. This really sucks. Does the bleach or Tilex Mildew remover really work? Did anyone try yet?

does anyone know if soaking your hands in salt okay? i am already using a fungus killer but i figured soaking my hands in salt every once in a while might be a little helpful. or is it too much stress on the fingers to double up on remedies like that?

What is the ratio of white vinegr to lemon juice?

By pat (Guest Post) 07/23/2005

Believe it or not....a simple soak in white vinegar and lemon juice is good.
and taking a fresh lemon, cut in half, rub fingernails and hands with lemon half, and rinse well.
not only helps with the fungus, but whitens nails and skin too.

My grandmother used to have a similar problem and would simply plunge her hands in to bleach water.....
either by mixing a small batch or just running her hands through the water while bleaching the whites in the washing machine...
