How To Treat Fungal Infections?

Hi, I have a very bad fungal infection since I was 8. I have been on creams, tablets and lotions I always had my toe nails removed and they came back the same way. I was just wondering what other options there is out there. I don t really want to go on any more medication as I have been on it far to long.
