From Dr. Jonathan Wright, Tahoma Clinic, Renton Washington
Fungus under the toenails ("onychomycosis") is a difficult problem to treat.
Even "conventional" anti-fungal drug treatment takes months to work, and
(for safety) monthly liver function tests are necessary. SSKI and DMSO
rubbed on, around, and under the affected toenails doesn't work any faster,
but it's just as effective, and definitely safer. Make sure to wear old
socks, because SSKI and other forms of iodine leave an orange-brown stain.
(Other safe and effective alternatives include geranium oil, oregano oil,
and tea tree oil. These and other anti-fungal oils also require "help" from
DMSO to penetrate the toenail and soak the fungus underneath.)

My son had athlete's foot for about a decade....hadn't gotten into his
toenails though.
He tried a number of treatments, but what worked for him was tea tree oil.
I'm not exactly sure how he applied it though.

We recently had one of our customers say that they used MMS2 in a footbath
to rid themselves of a toe fungus that had been bothering him for decades.
This had never occurred to me. For external use it should be okay to use
standard pool shock as a cheap treatment. I have no personal experience of
this, but for reference it was 400mg capsules (capsules not required in this
instance of course).

That's an entirely different scenario than a fungal infection with the
toenail intact - which is my case. So this may be totally ineffective in my

problem with every treatment for toenail fungal infection. Jeez. Well -- I

treatments while the toenail was still in place?
