Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Hi Leanna Ive had a quick look round the web and came up with this.......is this what your doctor is proposing? 2,4 DNCB (Dinitrochlorobenzene) Used for multiple " mosaic " warts. This is a chemical that will create an auto immune reaction. It is rarely used today. Risk of allergic reaction. Apparently lazer treatment is now being used for planter warts....... (we call them veruccas in the UK). Anyway have a look at this site http://www.podiatryinfo.com/vphtml/wart.html it may be of some use to you. Best wishes Fiona in the UK ----- Original Message ----- From: cleanqueen1959 Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 12:06 AM Subject: planters warts. Hello again! My 11 year old daughter has been battling planters warts for about 2 years now. We've done all of the over the counter rememdies-none of which worked. She has had them burned, scrapped and frozen at the doctors-none of these procedures worked either. Now, he says that the next and only thing left to do is to creat an allergy in the body using this big long chemical that I can't pronounce. I am really leary of this, as she will have a life long allergy. Has anyone had any experience using essential oils to get rid of planters warts? If so, please let me know! Just the thought of how they creat this allergy makes my stomache turn. Thanks so much for all your help. Leanna in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Fiona, yes that is what he was planning to do! It is a scarey thing. I was unaware of the laser treatment option. I'll check that out tommorrow. In one of my essential oil books, lavender is recommended for veruccas, as well as 2 other oils. I was wondering if anyone had used oils to successfully treat these warts. Thanks for your help! Leanna in Alberta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Leanna- Sounds crazy, but just plain old household laundry bleach works wonders on these. Lots of people scoff who would rather stick to just a natural solution, but trust me, this really does the trick. Bleach is an incredible anti-viral, after all. Just dab some on with a cotton swab a few times a day. When I got these in college, they were gone within a few days, but it may vary from person to person as to how long it takes. Good luck and best wishes- Lynda -- Lynda Sorenson http://www.Luna-Aromatics.com cleanqueen1959 wrote: > Hello again! My 11 year old daughter has been battling planters warts > for about 2 years now.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Hi Leanna, I've been away from my computer for a while! I'm just going through my 700 or so emails! I had soom planters warts that I fought with for over two years....4 to be exact...on the same foot. I was going religiously once a week to get them scraped down and burned with liquid nitrogen. It didn't seem to work. I stopped going for this treatment, got a few surgical steel blades and some thuja essential oil. I pared the warts down myself with the blade, put a few drops of thuja on a band aid and covered the wart. Two of the 4 are now totally gone, and there is hardly anything left of the last two. Thuja is toxic so it must be used with care. Cheers Lynn planters warts. > Hello again! My 11 year old daughter has been battling planters warts > for about 2 years now.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 Thuja is DEFINITELY toxic. I would not use it on anyone, especially a child, and especially on broken skin. Just my two cents worth. :-) Lynda Serenity Scents wrote: > Hi Leanna, > > I've been away from my computer for a while! I'm just going through > my 700 > or so emails!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Hi Lynn: I'm so glad you wrote about the positive effects of thuja essential oil! I have used it with excellent results that were less unsightly, and a lot faster than salicylic acid drops and patches (and a lot less uncomfortable, too)! It is true that thuja (thuja occidentalis, or Eastern White Cedar tree) is a neurotoxin when ingested (and I would be hesitant to recommend even it's external use on an 11 year old), but it really is a wonderful remedy for adult warts, especially when combined with vitamin E (a healing agent for the skin). I have seen several other essential oils like lavender, lemon, tea tree and geranium recommended for warts, and admittedly these pose less risk. Leanna, you might want to give these a try, but I will warn you about tea tree...it did absolutely nothing to the wart on my pinky finger! :-( Good luck!

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Okay, y'all are probably going to think I'm crazy, BUT... when I was 11-ish, I had planters warts. I used to do all kinds of things to them. Nothing worked. One weekend my Granny was over and she saw the warts on the bottom of my feet (I never wear shoes unless I have to...I got it from my Granny ) She asked how long I'd had it, and I told her forever but it won't go away. She asked if anyone had offered to buy it from me. I laughed and said no. She told me story of when she was about 15 that she had had a wart and her uncle had bought it. It went away and had never come back. I thought it was silly, but I agreed. She took out a nickle from her purse, rubbed it across the wart then handed me the coin, but before releasing it said that the only stipulations was that I could never spend the money. If I did, the wart would come back. So I went to my room and dropped the coin into a jar I had some plastic flowers in...where it still sits today. I had forgotten the whole thing for about a month. When I looked at my foot, the warts were gone. And 20 something years later, I've never had another. Ol' wives tale, maybe, but it worked. And I wouldn't dare spend that money.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 2,4 DNCB (Dinitrochlorobenzene) Used for multiple " mosaic " warts. This is a chemical that will create an auto immune reaction. It is rarely used today. Risk of allergic reaction. Fiona and list buds. Just an update on the planters warts thing. Have been using bleach on them and they seem to be disappearing. Unfortunately, have not been doing this consistantly! My daughter saw a specialist a few days ago, and his assistant handed me a print out about the auto immune thing our regular doctor had suggested. Oh my God! She is definately not having that done! The possibe side affects would make your head spin. Among them, hospitalization for organ inflammation, encephalitis, excema so bad hospitalization is required, and so on. Now, these are apparently very rare. The doctor said only exteme cases should even consider this, and that the warts will eventually go away by themselves. Am going to try the duct tape and/or the oregano oil, whatever method, I need to be more consistant. Thanks for all the help everyone. Leanna in Alberta.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 Hi Leanna The 'leave them alone' treatment is the current UK stance on planter warts. I think. Im glad they are not using that stuff on them, nasty! Fiona in the UK Re: planters warts. 2,4 DNCB (Dinitrochlorobenzene) Used for multiple " mosaic " warts.
