Personally, I've tried a lot of different stuff over the years. I had dealt with the combo nail fungus and athletes foot for almost 20 years. One "free" thing that did help a lot was vinegar.

It didn't help much with the nail fungus but it completely stopped the athlete's foot that I was also suffering from.

For the fungus I tried a lot of different things, including over the counter treatments, vinegar, bleach, tea tree oil, vicks and lavender oil. Some of them did make a little difference but none of them completely killed the fungus.

I also tried Lamisil which worked for a while then after a couple of months I had a relapse of the nail fungus. The scary thing with the Lamisil is the possible health issues you can face as a result of using it, the doctor had me take a test to make sure my liver wasn't prone to problems before he'd give me the Lamisil... gulp!

In the end what finally fixed my long term problem with nail fungus was Zeta Clear. I think what also helped is that I made it a part of my daily ritual to use it.

Another thing that I did that probably helped was throw out my old shoes. I have heard that the fungus can live in your shoes and return after treatment. So to avoid a relapse I made sure to get new shoes and throw out the old ones.

Also, once you get rid of your fungus, in order to keep it away, make sure to dry your toes and in between your toes very well after you shower. Fungus develops when toes are damp or wet, so try to keep them as dry as possible. Also, stay away from public showers because fungus is extremely contagious.
