That Stubborn Wart Virus!!!

Tagamet - Yes, the anti-acid medicine.
My daughter had issues with this as a toddler. The one time I let someone outside the family babysit, she was exposed to the virus. She had to have several warts burned off and it was horrible. I went to a second dermatologist, because I refused to believe that burning them off with acid was the only solution. A study had just come out about the use of cimitidine (I think that's it) and the virus. Tagamet wasn't available over the counter at the time, so I'm not sure if the OTC strength will work, but ask your doctor about it. The first dermatologist thought it was nonsense, but I know we never had any more warts burned off with acid and my 12 year old doesn't have the warts anymore, so anyone can do the math.
Thanks,

My children have been going to an chiropractor/accupuncturist since my son was 1 1/2 he is now 11. Both my children have rarely been sick and have not been on antibiotics since we started going to them. Call them and see if they can help with the warts. ###-###-#### ask for Dr. Michelle Blitzstein. With children they use electricity rather than needles you will totally be amazed on what can happen. Tell them J. Hunt from Waxhaw referred you.

You need to get you some Tea Tree Oil. It is a natural antiseptic and can work wonders. Just apply twice daily, band aid covered prefered, but if not, just put on in the AM and the PM.

Wow! It seems like your daughter has a persistent wart issue. I would recommend seeing another dermatologist. My friend's daughter had somehting similar and saw one of the specialist at Duke which has cleared it. She also got a rounc of heavy antibiotics to go along with it. It sounds like your current practioner is not adequate to take care of this.

I have been applying liquid garlic to the site of my warts (a small dab, perhaps Q-tip applied for chiid). Also suggest Herbal Healer Academy, Marijah McCain, s Naturopath physician, Master Herbalist. ###-###-####. I have a membership (small fee to join) and receive emails and Newsletters, which I treasure for the wealth of information.

Books that I used at my favorite store in San Diego I have purchased and use frequently in seeking cures. I have linked the books:
http://www.amazon.com/Prescription-Herbal-Healing-Easy-Us...

Prescription for Nutritional Healing says:
"common warts are highly contagious, acquired thru breaks in the skin, going barefoot in locker room or public places, or by using another person's comb or hair brush. Warts can spread if picked, or touched.
Nutrients: Vit B complex 50mg 3xdaily
Vit C 4000-10000 mg daily (drink 8-10 8oz glasses of water )
several other nutrients recommended.
To REMOVE common warts, try:
crush a garlic clove and apply directly on wart; cover with bandage, leave in place for 24hrs. Blisters should then form and wart should fall off in about a week."
other recommendations in the book.
"Most common warts disappear w/n a yr or two, even w/o treatment.
Good luck!

Juli- We had a similar situation in our house. My kid's had what you call molluscum- not hard a scaly like other warts but in the same family. They spread virally so even though we burned them off, they kept coming back. Finally I read about Melaleuca oil ( also known as tea tree oil) being effective in treating molluscum because it actually attacks the virus. Since it is very penetrating it would take the anti viral oil deep into the tissue. Other things just sit on the surface. You can find it at a health food store. I started ordering products from a company called Melaleuca about seven months ago. Several of their personal care products contain the oil. Since then, the molluscum have cleared up ( except for a large one on my son's neck that we thought was something else.) Other than that large one, we have not had to be treated again. It makes sense too becuase you can burn off the warts but still have the virus in your system. The oil helps destry the virus. It may be worth a try. Right now, it only costs $1 to open an account to shop with Melaleuca. If you want to know how, just contact me at ____@____.com

Hi there, I would try a product called Lauricidin. It is a natural anti-viral, anti-microbial, derived from coconut. Call Jeff at Total Health Nutrition Center in Raleigh. It is also a good product to ward off colds and flu. I even give it to my Four year old. He had a couple warts...one on his toe, and one on his finger. After a week of about 10 pellets of Lauriciden, they disappeared. Hope this helps!
