KathiR, Ricky and RF: Sorry, it has been an extremely busy month and I did mean to clarify what I wrote when I had a little more time, and time got away from me - again! I have used the vinegar and water solution for nail fungus many times and it seems to work quite well. I did not mean alkaline. The vinegar solution seems to help the balance of acids and alkaline. Remember, I am not a homeopath. I am trying to combine the best from all of the alternative methods. Sometimes a little mix here and there go a long way. Kathi, by all means, if you are looking for only a homeopathic solution disregard my advice. If you are into alternative methods, you could give this tip a try and see if it helps. Thanks and sorry for the misunderstanding, kylene
