For the last 4 tears or so I have had a fungus on both big toes. The nail becomes thick and discolored with rough edges. Not an attractive sight. I have been using coconut oil now for about 9 months and can honestly say it has made a difference in the appearance of my toenails. One of the many properties of CO is antifungal. I can"t say enough about this tropical oil. I eat at least 3 Tbls a day I have more energy, have lost weight, no change in my cholesterol and love its taste. Try it and you will never go back to the other veggie oils.
How do I use coconut oil? Fry and salute any and everything in it, put a huge heaping tablespoon of it in smoothies and also in my coffee. My fave result has been memory improvement. I can hardly believe the things I am remembering. Good thing I've had a pleasant life! LOL! Had no idea that it was good for toenail fungus so hello toes! Here comes the CO!

I had toenail fungus for 5yrs. started using virgin coconut oil applied topically with amazing results. Used loceryl lacquer for 3yrs did not get rid of it. Used some oxygenated melaluca cream which helped & may have cured it but smelled so bad it really wasn't practical. I read about coconut oil on internet & gave it a go, i didn't think it would seriously work. I massaged it into top of nail & all around it & made sure it was under toenail which was easy as it is liquid (hardens in cold weather but melts on contact with skin). Now 1 big toenail totally cured, other toenail is almost gone but it was much worse and was first to be infected. Absolutely amazing and i don't even apply it everyday!!! Doesn't smell. I rub it into all my other toenails (hoping this will prevent them from getting it in them). I bought a brand from my local health food shop and made sure it was 100% virgin and this one was cold pressed-don't know if that means anything but i'm sure other brands would work, I am just thrilled with results and grateful that i gave it a go

Re the fungal toe.. Just keep rubbing coconut oil into it. It should clear in no time.

I determined yesterday that I had a fungus on my toe nails when all along I believed it was just calcium deposits. YUK! I get pedicures regularly and it was never brought to my attention. I've been without polish or pedis for over a month now, just allowing the nails to breathe. So this morning I cleaned my nails with Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide then before I put on my shoes to go out the door, I generously rubbed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil over and around the nails and toes. By lunchtime, I can tell a significant difference in the appearance of the discoloration and spots. I will continue to do this to see if it will rid of the rest of the fungus. I am greatly encouraged!

NAY
Coconut oil did not help my toe fungus infection. In fact I felt it exacerbated the problem.

I am very glad I read this. I have bad toenail fungus for years. I read about coconut oil for toenail fungus, but wasn't sure how to go about applying it.
I started last month ( December, 2016).
To put my clean sock inside out over my hand, because I didn't want to touch my fungus nails with my fingers. Then I would dip the clean sock into my jar of coconut oil. ( the toe section ) And rub that on my toes, top, and try to get underneath the nail. I am glad I read this, I will try the toothbrush method. It sounds more effective than what I was doing. Thank you.

What brand of coconut oil? I'm desperate... I have never ever had anything like this on my toes. My Dr. wants me to take the medication you mentioned. I would rather go the natural route. Thank you for any and all info you can give me. I have prayed about the right thing to do. I do not want it to get out of control. I have almost given up and took the meds but I'm afraid of side effects. ✝️💕

Did you apply directly to the nail or took it orally? Or both?

Do you have to continue to use it forever to keep it gone?

I've added borax to my bath water( high PH kills bact/ etc), then coconut oil as all over body moisturizer after, my toe nails, and hands for that matter, have 'french manicure' WHITE nails..... EVCO is an amazing gift from God. Also helps w/ ingrown hairs

How do you take your coconut oil? How long did it take to see a difference in fungus and weight?
