It Works! But know the symptoms of Fungus! They aren't all the same!
Works if you use it as directed every day and keep at it! I have to admit when I first received this system I was on it and following directions to the T each day & I had complete clarity in 2 nails very quickly. The soaking for 20 minutes a day though became tedious to me.... One because it was the middle of winter and my water would get cold within a couple of minutes (not products fault). Two because I couldn't get much of my 2 most problematic nails (infected the longest) cut down as they suggest & I was discouraged. They are like concrete! I have 4 toe nails that have fungus after injuring my toes, one of which I broke. I didn't realize for quite some time the 2 actually had fungus after the injury. I thought the nails just weren't growing because they were so traumatized and injured so badly. So since those 2 went untreated for so long they infected 2 more nails after a 2.5 years. I had never seen toenail fungus that looked like mine before, and seriously contributed to me not knowing it was actually fungus and treating it properly. I'm so mad about that! I've known several other people with fungus and their toe nails just got thick, grew like crazy, were brittle, were a faint light yellow color and their skin on their feet was very scaly. And if you use a search engine for nail fungus this is what you see! I did't have ANY of that. I had severe pain at the cuticle on 1 toe, and beside the nail on toe 2. I thought it was part of the injury (but it wasn't), I later learned it was the fungus actually attacking the traumatized nails. The pain did subside so I thought they were healing. They were from the initial injury to the beds, but now had an unseen and uninvited guest! After about 1.5 years the nails still hadn't grown ANY, but looked normal. So I used some essential oils that are known to help nails grow but not fight nail fungus... Some of these oils were a medium yellow and to my shock nail #1 turned medium yellow right after I used it and did not return to the normal pink and white when I washed my feet and scrubbed my nails.... So then since I thought they were just stained from the oils, I started wearing polish all the time to hide the yellow color. Big mistake. I thought the polish was contributing to the 2 nails becoming darker over time because nails do stain, and I was using a color that had a very dark base and I felt that since the nails weren't growing that they were old and porous so staining really easily (and I'm sure that was part of it to an extent). Then finally after a little over 2 years of dealing with this, the 2 nails began thickening. I FINALLY realized it was fungus at this point! I so wish I had gone to the Dr. when they had stopped growing or knew that was a symptom of fungus. Everyone else I've ever seen with fungus had nails that still grew and did't look anything like mine or normal for so long! I didn't want to have to have laser treatments or take pills, so I did some research and found this set with great reviews. The 3rd nail that was infected is cleared up completely. The 4th nail is 1/2 way there. The 1st 2 nails that had gotten so dark (kind of a dark yellow green with black undertones - hideous!) and finally thick have begun to lighten up a good bit and are just yellow in color. It also appears they may be growing a tiny bit as the nail near the cuticle is not thick and is pink again It will take time and I am going to have to remain diligent so I can have normal feet again, but it's working. As I said, I wasn't able to remove as much nail as I'd like on those 1st 2 nails and they are so hard and thick. I may take my electric nail tool, and use some of the sanding bits which you shape acrylic nails with and see if I can't just grind them down some while being extremely careful to not get too close and injure my nail bed. If your nails aren't hard as concrete like mine (and that's not an exaggeration) I wouldn't try to sand them down with an electric tool. Especially if they are brittle because this type of tool will buzz through that like it's saw dust and you could injure & infect your toes or fingers. But looking at my toes today 3/4/18 and being conservative about the rate of growth I see, I think these 2 really bad nails will probably be back to normal by the end of the summer with continued proper use of the system. The 1 that is still mildly infected will probably be better within another week or so, but I will have to continue to treat them to be sure they are not re-infected by the original 2 offenders. I took off 1 star because you have to treat your feet 3x a day. It would be 5 stars if it was just a little quicker to use each day.

Patience + Perseverance = Good Results!
***UPDATE (MAY 17)***Three months later and things are looking great (see third pic for results to-date)! I'm going to continue use for another few weeks just to be safe, but I think I'm finally in the clear. 😊***UPDATE (APR. 5)***Almost two months and it's still working like a charm! See second pic for results to-date.***ORIGINAL REVIEW (MAR. 11)***After indulging in spa pedicures all last summer (normally I do them myself at home), I was horrified to discover in February what appeared to be fungus on my toenails. (I keep my toenails polished constantly so it didn't become obvious to me until months later. Bad idea.) Now let me just say that I have NEVER had any feet issues before, and am meticulous about hygiene and not walking around barefoot, so I am 100% sure I got this from the salon. My big toes show the most obvious signs of infection, but I went on the safe assumption that ALL toes were infected. Gross!!!After getting over my initial mortification and disgust, I began to do some research on how to treat it. I didn't want an ineffectual antifungal cream and I didn't want any liver-destroying pills. So, homeopathic treatment it was!The Purely Northwest system had decent reviews, was reasonably priced, and had the natural ingredients that supposedly fight fungus, so I figured "why not?" It arrived within a few days and I began using it immediately. I use the foot wash in the shower with a nail brush, apply the oil 2-3x daily, and use the salt soak every other day. Every week or so I've been trimming back my nails.Well, it's been about a month and there is definite improvement (see pics with dates)! Fungus is a real b!tch to treat; it can be remedied, but it takes TIME. The infected part of the nail has to grow out completely and you must continue treatment the entire time to keep the fungus in check to prevent it from spreading or further damaging the nail and nail bed. Do not expect overnight results. It can take upwards of a year for a fully-infected toenail to totally grow out ... so if you have fungus down to your cuticle, buckle up and prepare for a long ride. (Fortunately, my infection seems to have only affected the top 1/3 or so of my nails.)I was dubious about this product's efficacy, but for me it is working. If it works for you too, wonderful! If not, better get yourself to the doctor; your issue might not actually be fungus, or it might be a resistant strain that requires more powerful meds. Sometimes organ failure can present itself in toenail issues (or so I've read), so ... yeah. When in doubt, go to the doctor.I will continue treatment and update in a couple of months. In the interim, I'm avoiding nail polish (using Dr's Remedy only if polished toes are a must) and I'm definitely keeping my feet far, far away from any salon foot baths (aka "bacteria/fungus soup").Cheers!!

Tea Tree Anti-Fungal soap changed my life!
So I go to the gym and crush my workouts 3 days a week. I shower right after. I run sometimes in the evening and shower again. Well, I started having skin irritation aka jock-itch and was shocked, so I decided to buy this tea tree oil anti-fungal soap. Hands down the best soap I have ever bought! Ever! It cleanses my body, especially my balls, butt and between my legs very well. It completely rids all of the deodorant under my arms. It is really good at cleaning me well, but not drying my skin out. I love it! My wife also uses and it and has now stopped buying her "girly" soaps. I think this will now be our go-to soap. Get it if you want something to really clean your body, especially if you are athletic or sweat a lot.Update - 15-May-2017 (regarding toes becoming more clear.)I have been using the toenail fungus system for a little over a month and can honestly say that this system has worked as promised! I took a bath last night with the bath salt and meticulously inspected every toe and truly noticed the difference.I am a 35 yr old man. Although I am a former track athlete I have had pretty clear toes, with the exception of my pinky toes having darker nails. I did not think it meant anything, but last June after I ran a half-marathon here in San Diego, California, I noticed my two big toes were bruised, but as they healed they never fully looked clear again. They only got darker and the color spread throughout the last year. It became apparent that fungus was starting to grow under my nails. It took until about March of this year to research anti-fungal nail systems. I ordered the toenail fungus system and once I received it I followed the exact directions.It is now May and I have used it for a month continuously and notice a difference. I have been cured from the foot fungus that was starting to proliferate and damage my toe nails.I would love to continue using the toenail fungus system to prevent any future occurrences. My wife and I work out 3-5 times a week, so we have made the switch to use this product for showers and to protect our toe nails from fungus.Thats all I have. It works and I am now going to keep purchasing this product.

WOW!
I was sceptical as is anyone who has been using three different types of fungal medication for about 15 years with dismal results. I had a 165 pound dog that SAT on my foot one day, just plop and actually bruised the big toe nail so badly that I lost it. As it grew back in it came in with a fungal infection. I have tried EVERYTHING.I did not want to review this until I could see actual results not simply THINK I had. Well I have seen results and they are astounding.First of all this concoction despite being an oil dries the nail out...a GOOD thing! There is no place for the fungus to hide and if you trim every week as is advised, the old damaged nail begins to disappear. Using a nailbrush with the wash seems to get the product in under the nails much more efficiently than using a washcloth.But the way I know this is working is that I now have 1/4" of straight flat nail growing out from the base of the nails with the large bulge caused by the infection moving up over time. I have not seen a flat nail for years and as bonus 3 other nails on that foot are exhibiting the same clean growth. This was a surprise to me as I had not realized that the infection had spread to the rest of the nails in a very minor but now noticeable way.This is a wonderful product which works beautifully and efficiently. I say efficiently because as I mentioned, the bottles of regular fungicide which has not done anything but keep the status quo cost me more than this one bundled system. And, that does not count the bottles of product I have bought over the years.Follow directions and you will see results. Amazing results.

Wonderful!!!
I have been fighting a toenail fungus since last year when I removed some polish and found my toenail black. I have tried all sorts of things and did not want to go to the doctor because I was afraid they would remove it, or charge me some crazy price for fifty visits for treatments. I tried this product as a last resort. It is working amazingly.I do think the key is to follow their instructions and do no miss any days. I have actually only been using it for about a three weeks. Not only is the black a lot lighter, but it is so much smaller. If it keeps working like this another month or so and it will be gone. It seems to be working from the nail bed up and the top of the nail down. It does help a lot to trim the nail once a week, even if you can only trim a little bit. I cut my nail very short when I started the treatment. I also use a finger nail scrub brush to apply the soap, and I actually use this on all of my nails now. Another added plus was that I had some really dry skin on my hand that was itchy and cracked to the point of almost bleeding. It has now healed up. Also, yes the bottle is a hard plastic, but is it not difficult to get the soap out. It also does not take much soap for a treatment. I just put a line down the nail brush and it really suds up. I will have to replace the actual oil way before the soap is gone and I am not even halfway through the oil even after spilling some. Hope everyone has as great of results as I have had and hope this helps. I usually do not write reviews but this deserved it.
