Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 I searched the whole archive & only found various home remedies for warts. Didn't find anything about people thinking enzymes may have made their warts disappear. I will try the enzymes on my older son (7 y.o). He has lots of warts on this hand, too.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Fania, I don't understand how it works, but it does. My girlfriend works for a group of doctors, and one of the docs told her to do this for her son who has warts on his hands. At first she thought they were kidding her, when she told me about it I could tell her that it was true because I had read about it on the internet. When I got one on my hand I tried it and it worked. You put a piece of duct tape the size of the wart over the wart for six days. You then take the tape off, soak the finger, and then rub the wart with a pumice stone or emery board. when done with that you put a new piece of duct tape on for six more days. That should take care of it. This is a painfree method that works 85 % of the time. Barbara beitchazen <beitchazen@...> wrote: > Believe it or not duct tape over the wart works!

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I've read that this works because the tape irritates the skin and causes and activates the body's immune system to attack it (or something like that). I never tried it. I offered to try it with 's planters warts, but he opted with going to the foot Dr. instead. Kathy <barb2743@y...> wrote: > Fania, I don't understand how it works, but it does.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Thanks Kathy, I put the duct tape on dd's fingers last night, but she pulled it off this morning before she went to school. Hopefully, putting it on just at night will be effective as well, though it may take longer.--Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Long ago my sister's 3 year old had warts on her feet. Her pediatrician took the 3 year old into the exam room, gave her a crash course on meditating the warts away and sent her home for follow through. The warts were gone in a couple of weeks!! We've not had that kind of luck here. There's been a pesky wart in our daughter's ear that's not easily duct taped for a long time now. B.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hi!! There was an actual test done & Using duct tape is very effective. So much so, that our pediatrician mentioned it when I asked about mny daughters clusters of warts on her cuticle etc. I had them as a kid too but not as bad. Mine were removed using a rx topical (stuff that you can buy otc). It is caused by a virus and supposedly they go away on their own after a year or two. Also they can spread if your child is picking at them....which i am sure thats why my 6yr old has so many . The other option is to burn them off, with lasers but its supposed to be quite uncomfortable.... The duct tape is not an option for my little one, who has so many & would never leave it on anyway. I am going to try the otc stuff again & stick with it because it takes months of regular applications. Antoinette NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 , Conventional doctors tend to be quite bad at this sort of thing. Burning them off appears to be the answer most of the time..... I've had warts on and off all my life - fortunately nothing major and usually occuring only when my diet is poor (not enough fresh and/or raw vegetables and fruits as well as lack of grains and pulses/legumes). Alternative treatments for removal (not cure) are dandelion sap applied regularly throughout the day and night; colloidal silver applied regularly until the wart is gone; corn pads. There are others but I can't remember them off hand. And I don't know the cause either. Probably varies from one person to the next. All the best.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Something I posted to this list recently: ---- My sons both had chronic wart problems for some years which only came back when frozen off or chemically burned off. I eventually cleared them up giving vitamin A orally. My recollection is that you need to give 100,000 units per day for a month but that didn't work for my oldest son until I upped the dose to about 160,000 units per day. Because of his genetic disorder, he doesn't absorb things well and typically needs 1 1/2 to 2 times the dose of vitamins, nutrients, etc. I mention that because leaky gut and other gut issues are so common for folks on this list. So if 100,000 units per day does not work, I would consider upping it. I think I also kept him on it for 6 weeks instead of 4 because his warts were so hard to cure. Using vitamin E topically or orally also helps but was never enough for my son. Using vitamin E in addition to vitamin A seemed to boost the efficacy somewhat. ----- HTH, -- Michele in Limbo (formerly in California) talithamichele@...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 My son had a small wart on the top of his foot. What helped to get rid of it was applying tea tree oil every day.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 , Plantar warts are ones on the bottom of the foot and due to the pressure of walking/standing on them they also appear to grow inward into the foot so that if they are surgically removed it leaves a dent.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Vitamin A: The recommended dosage to treat warts is 100,000 IU per day for a month. Due to my son's genetic disorder, that didn't work until I upped it to 160,000 IU for around 6 weeks. For stubborn warts, oral vitamin A combines well with topical applications of vitamin E oil or fairly high doses of oral vitamin E. Supposedly, a raw potato topically also helps. Vinegar-soaked bandages supposedly also help. For my own warts, store-bought kits to freeze them off worked better than your standard " wart remover " (like Compound W). However, those really weren't effective for my kids. I also had doctors freeze their warts off, to no avail -- which really ticked off my kids because the freezing process was so painful. -- Michele in Limbo (formerly in California) talithamichele@...

I bought " whatever was on the store shelf where I bought groceries " at the time. I think the brand was " Nature's Own " but I couldn't swear to it. I am much more picky now about vitamins I buy -- their chemical form, their actual origin, and what kinds of additives they have. But I am not currently taking any vitamin A nor giving any to my kids. Sorry. I hope someone else can give you some tips. -- Michele in Limbo (formerly in California) talithamichele@...
