Guest guest Posted May 9, 2002 Report Share Posted May 9, 2002 Hi Lori, how do you use your 20% oregano oil/olive oil mixture for flu viruses? What do you do with it? Is this a dumb question? Plantars Warts > I don't know if this will help anyone or not, but my husband completely got rid of 2 long-term (over 6 months old) plantars warts, in about 3 weeks time, after trying Compound W, Duofilm, cutting, slicing, everything, and nothing worked. I use oregano oil (a mixture of about 20% with olive oil) when I feel any kind of flu, cold sore throat coming on, and it's gone the next day. I know it's an anti-bacterial, and anti-viral, and warts are viruses. So I suggested he put a drop or two of the oil on his warts and cover them with a bandaid, twice a day, morning and night. The first thing he noticed, after a week, was that it didn't hurt to walk on his foot anymore. The warts kept getting smaller and smaller and within three weeks they had disappeared altogether, with no sign of ever having existed. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Thuja and Thuja again. It's a homeopathic remedy.- You can get it at Boots. May take a week or so to effect a cure but it usually works... Try 6 c.....2 tabs under the tongue, three times a day until you see a result. Worked a charm on my daughter..... I see in Germany it is also used for vaccination damage.... Keep me posted... Plantars Warts OK, here's one for you - i think Alasdair has Plantars warts! I will take him to GP to confirm. Any ideas for non toxic treatments? I read it can be a sign of being immunocompromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Does this work for ordinary warts? My son has numerous on his knees. GP has told us they will fall off themselves if left (eventually). However, don't think she understands his immune system is not working properly. Alternatively she has told us we can have them frozen off - this will take a few appointments and will sting. Would like to avoid this, but have tried so many different otc treatments and still they multiply.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Adrienne, I had a large cluster of painful, deep plantar warts on one foot around 35 years ago (almost 30 years before my diagnosis). I went to Stanford Univ. Clinic and was lucky to happen on a senior dermatologist at Stanford Univ. Clinic who recommended a simple treatment one can do at home. It's not expensive and took only a few minutes every day for about a month. It worked like a dream, and none have ever come back. I'll describe it as best I can remember. If you really want to avoid surgery, I encourage you to give this painless procedure a try. I'd suggest you check it out with your dermatologist first, though. The remedy requires the following: 1) a tube of gel/ointment/cream? of salicylic acid (common wart removal medication). Sorry - I don't remember the concentration, but it was stronger than most over-the- counter, I think. I seem to recall propylene glycol being part of it also (possibly as the base?). 2) common kitchen plastic wrap 3) tape, non-irritating if possible, and occlusive (not paper or fabric) - Adhesive tape was recommended. 4) Elastoplast or some such thick stretchy bandage one entire side of which is very sticky all over 5) scissors to cut the plastic wrap, etc., to size The procedure: 1) In the evening before going to bed, apply the salicylic acid/propylene glycol to the warts. 2) Cover the warts with a piece of plastic wrap and tape it securely around the edges with adhesive tape so that the area stays warm and moist (macerated) overnight. It helps to wear a sock to bed to help keep the tape from shifting and coming loose. 3) In the morning, cut and have ready a piece of the Elastoplast large enough to cover the warts and a margin around them to help keep them totally covered all day. 4) Remove the plastic wrap, and cover it with the sticky bandage right away so the area doesn't dry out. (The wart tissue starts to look a little more raised than usual above the surrounding skin. At the site of each wart, the softened, raised tissue may have a small depression, making each one resemble a little volcano. It will have the color of fingers/toes that have soaked in the bathtub a long time, because they should have been " soaking " all night.) Again, it's best to wear socks/stockings during the day to help make sure the Elastoplast stays in place when rubbing against your shoe's insole. 5) That evening, pull off the Elastoplast. When it comes off, it will pull off some of the softened, macerated, exposed wart tissue with it. (It doesn't hurt in the least.) Reapply the ointment or gel again, exactly as in step 1). 6) Repeat step 2). 7) Repeat step 3), etc. Each time you masticate the area overnight, more of the softened, spongy wart tissue rises up from underneath, and then it gets lifted off by the Elastoplast. If your warts are deep, there will be wart tissue coming up for some time. I can only say that after 4 or 5 weeks of this routine, my sole was finally clear and has stayed clear of warts ever since. Clearly, this method requires commitment and persistence. It also might not work as well in some other locations - areas of high use, profile, or exposure, for obvious reasons. But it avoids having to be cut on, is simple, and worked like a charm. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I know of nothing harmful about it, but I'm not a doctor, so check with your pharmacist and go over it with your doctor beforehand. I hope this helps. Good luck with whatever you decide.
