Dipping your feet into vinegar, lemon and garlic rubs. Alternate between these and wash diligently esp. underneath the nails. Also watch you r diet. it really works, much better than all of those creams.

I have used Sally Hansen - "Maximum Growth" and it works GREAT! In ten days, take it from a nail bitter - from way back, this is miracle shit!

Try cutting down just a little bit at a time like only have 10 for a week then 8 then 6 then 4 then 3 then 2 then 1 or something like that.  If you do that then it might help a bit.

There's this nail polish that tastes really bad that is supposed to help you stop biting your nails. Or so that's what I hear. Well maybe you'd stop biting your nails if you painted them to make them look pretty. Maybe that'll help.

Nail polish and stop stressing!!! ALWAYS have a nail file with you so if you get a jagged edge, your not tempted to "nibble" it smooth.

Try another habbit! I'm not kidding. It works!\nI used to have this habbit of blinking my eyes frequently. There are times when people came up to me and voices out. Its pretty embarrassing! So I started to try on another habbit! Toes curling! It works.  And later on i managed to stopped all these habbits. Or wait a minute.... \nDo you remember how you started to bite your finger nails? Just figured this out... if you could start the habit and of course you can forget and stopped it if not to undo it! Just think of your beautifull and healty nails before you started to bite them of. Think that your nails is  your most prized possessions..... where you don't even dare to hurt  it what more of to bite it as in hurting it! \nWell...Okay all the best and good luck luck to you!!!

I had the same problem.  Try Orly nail Defense.  It strengthnes your nail.  Believe me, I tried everything but this one really works.  It might take 2-4 weeks to see result.

Fungus on Toe nails\n\nYou may want to try Tea Tree Oil on your nails (with a bandage), an essential oil from an ancient Australian kind tree. These oils are part of the immune system of the plants, which also have to prevent the microorganisms, such as fungi, to feel invited. These microorganisms only thrive in other beings, when the immune system of these beings is down. When the immune system, which includes our life energy, is strong, no bacteria, virus or fungus can even come close. They are repelled by our life energy like raindrops from a  rain coat! This can be seen on Tesla-Kirlian life-energy photographs, made with an electric camera.\n\nYou may also want to check your pH (urine and saliva) with pH paper from the health food store. The pH paper measures the acid/alkaline balance. In my experience the pH of urine and saliva should be 7.5 at all times.\n\nIf it is not, all kinds of unnatural events can happen, called diseases. \n\nAn alkaline-forming diet is helpful to keep our immune system in good shape, as is Dinshah Color MedicineTM, which is easy to learn.\n\nYou may want to get Silicea, a homeopathic tissue salt, to support your immune system. Place 4 pills and an ounce of water in a dropper bottle, shake and take a drop or two under your tongue very often (may be every few minutes) until the condition gets better. Then less often but at least 5 times a day (about every two hours) to keep up the healing energy.\n\nOur body is self-cleansing by nature, when we give it the right fuel: in the form of alkaline-forming food, or as energy with essential oils, or Dinshah colors.\n\nHappy sandal season!\nCordially, India.Magica

This happens to lots of people.  I am speaking from personal experience.  What I found finally worked (after several years) is that I focused on what I ate.  So I eat reasonably and healthy.  Jello is supposed to have some stuff in it that is good for nails, by the way.\n\nSecond, I started to exercise every single day.  So now I walk, sometimes run and ride a bike.  Doing something physical is important.\n\nSomething else I changed, I did clip my nails regularly, even the one that had changed to the dark almost ugly color.\n\nWhat happened is the old toe nail finally dropped off with a new one under that was nice and clear.\n\nI had tried those things they advertise on TV, and even went to a doctor, but none of that did anything for me.

Put some alcohol on it. The kind you use to clean up cuts and stuff. Can you imagine the nastiness. It'll really help. It helped me and i used to be addicted to it! And i used to bite my nails to the point where i would bleed. And it helped me!

I do not know much about the ways to stop her sucking her fingers but I very much urge you to teach her not to suck them. I was like that until the age of 12 and the horror stories people tell you are true. Already at the age of 8, I had to get braces, my teeth were horrible and I was lisping because my teeth grew in a really horrible way - they were protruding outwards from my mouth. Not very pleasant. Children at school made fun of me and I was not very happy. Since my thumb was sucked so much, I had to wear plasters on them because they had wounds on them. \n\nDefinitely make all the neccessary steps to make you child stop sucking her thumb, as soon as you can. Do not let her grow with such a bad habit. It was difficult for me to get rid of it too. I am now 21 years old and I have no problems, only because of those braces and my own strong will. I even stopped lisping because I taught myself how to speak properly. And let me tell you, it was one of the most difficult things to do.
