Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hi, Rosemary! The following are all reported to be great wart treatments: castor oil, tea tree oil, or a bit of garlic placed directly over the wart and covered with a bandaid. I look forward to hearing from everyone else, because I'm not sure which of these works the best. HTH pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Yup ! Dandelion juice....... Go into the garden and I am sure you will find some Dandelions. Break off the plant and apply the sap ( juice ) onto the wart. Keep applying as often as poss'. Will take a few days but they will fall off. Hope this helps..hugs, .

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 Hi all, The absolutely best thing Ive ever seen to get rid of a wart, is to break the stem of a dandelion, and rub the " latex " onto the wart. Do it daily for about a week Well, Naturally http://www.wellnaturally.ca http://www.wellnaturally.com 20/2003 -0500, you wrote: >Hi, Rosemary!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Lemon Essential Oil is also suppposed to kill warts. Supposedly only takes a drop or two. Shana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 I had a wart, my son and daughter both had a wart. I kept delaying and trying different things. They got really bad and big. My father gave me some papaya powder (it's green). I think some people use it to break down protein in their meat. I put it on every night. I took about three months with my daughter and a couple with my son. They disappeared. I think you can probably get it at a health food store. May be papaya extract. It is a green powder. You just mix it with a little water to make a paste, put a band-aid on it and go to sleep. Warts Dear List Buds, This has been discussed before, but I don't remember what was said because I didn't need it at the time. My grandson just announced to his mom that he has warts on the bottom of his foot. He thought they would go away by themselves. Before she speeds off to the doctor, isn't there a natural remedy that I could give her. It seems to me that I remember it being very simple. Thanks for your advice.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Here is just one of several places i got my info...of course...if you use Compound W on a wart it causes it to eat the wart and the skin around it too...I also found a site that recommends mixing 2 drops of Lemon Oil in 10 drops of cidar vinegar..you might try that. <A HREF= " http://www.purelinatural.com/LemonOil.html " > http://www.purelinatural.com/LemonOil.html</A> Shana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hi all, NEVER, NEVER use lemon essential oil on your skin, unless you want a chemical burn. If you want a demonstration, try pouring some on a polystyrene cup, and watch it melt.

I suspect there are others. Of course, our skin isn't exactly composed of the same stuff as are polystyrene cups, so does it react differently???

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hi Ruth, Essential Oils are volatile oils, and should never, ever be used straight on the skin, in spite of anything Young Living states to the contrary. The only exceptions are Lavender, Manuka and Tea Tree - and the latest studies show that Tea Tree is actually more effective in a 20% solution. I work with eo's all the time, and the skin on my hands is probably tougher than most, but I can show you a perfect thumbprint on my measuring scales, where the plastic was melted from eo's on my skin? I once had eo's on my hands, and my ear itched, I put my finger in my ear to scratch it, and spent the next 30minutes with my ear under the tap, trying to flush out the oils - that hurt!! I cannot stress strongly enough, that you will get a chemical burn from using eo's straight on the skin - that is if you are using pure and undiluted eo's.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 If I remember correctly the original post had said something along the line of you use two drops lemon EO to about 20 drops of....? I think it was some kind of carrier oil, but I may be wrong. So, my question is, are you saying, not to use the lemon, or orange oils on the skin even when they are diluted with a carrier oil?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hi, I copied this from a list over a year ago and saved it. I would try the Vit. A cap on the wart, it seems pretty safe. Re: Planter WartsWhen my daughter was 4 years old she had a huge planter wart on her foot. When we treated that one wart with a burning agent it spread to well over 40 daughter warts on her foot. She couldn't walk or bear weight on that foot - MD told me in 18 to 36 months it should go away and just wasn't good enough so I started hunting online for info. I learned more about planters warts than anyone wants to know...anyway I found an article in a running magazine and it suggested opening up a vitamin A pill and putting the oil on the wart(s) twice daily, use cotton socks and change when they get wet, put shoes in the sun to dry and disinfect them with the sun's radiation, and rotate shoes. In about 10 days her foot was completely healed not a mark on them and no scars. When I took her back to doctor about two weeks after he saw her he first took off one shoe then the other, then thought I'd brought the wrong child as this couldn't be the child he just saw two weeks ago. Warts usually means you aren't getting enough vitamin A in the diet as well, but be careful in the supplementation of A since it isn't water soluble.Also, I laid hands on her feet twice a day and prayed over them.Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hi Tim, I too am on Truvada, Prezista and TMC 125 (along with t-20) and have had similar (fantastic) results as you have had: First time in 20+ years with undetect vl, and rising t cells (to about 200+). I had horrible plantar's warts on my feet -- very large ones that I had for at least 5 years. I tried many things to get them gone. I thought I would have them for the rest of my life. But what seems to have finally worked for me was constant use of salycitic (sorry about the spelling) acid, 17% available in the Walgreen's, covered plus shaving the dead skin down with a blade 3 or 4 times a week. Persistance is the key. I would apply the acid every other day, and shave off the dead skin on the days in between. This process took more than a year. I thought many times that this would not work. But I had already tried lots of other treatments and they didn't work either. I have to credit my dermotologist Dr Fitzgerald here in Los Angeles here. She warned me that this would take at least a year, maybe longer to see the results but that it would work. Finally, at some point over the summer, I started to notice that I had the upper hand over the warts and that they seemed to be shrinking. Once I saw this, I redoubled my efforts in applying the acid and intensive shaving of the dead skin and now, it looks like all the wart is gone. For the last few months I have stopped treatment and the skin on my feet seems to be looking normal now. I think the point is perserverence is the key in wart treatments. Even when it looks likey you are not making progress, you might be. Just stay on top of them and eventually you will beat them.

I also have wart-like growths and sought a dermatologist who was not very knowledgable and in fact, made me very uncomfortable after I told her I was HIV+ and she asked “How did you get that?” .

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Max First of all I would have the warts looked at by a dermatologist who has experience with HIV +Folks. As a precaution a wart should have a biopsy to rule out any issues of skin cancer. Second, ask you Dr. about being treated with the Candida vaccine. I did this over the course of four months that it totally cleared away the flat warts I had all over my left arm and both hands. I had gone through 5 years of liquid nitrogen and lasers to burn off the laser. The liquid nitrogen actually works to spread the warts to other parts of the exposed arm or hand. Find a guy who doesn't believe in " burning " first. With your great numbers, I am confident that combined with the Candida shots, your boys will mount a strong defense against the warts and you will be rid of them.
