Guest guest Posted May 2, 2002 Report Share Posted May 2, 2002 Hey All: It's been about a week since I started garlic-slabbing my head. For those of you who just tuned in, this is a remedy for warts/skintags, and probably minor external cysts too, since I think that's actually what I had...before it fell off! That's right, a total of six days of garlic-slabbing and the thing's given up the ghost. I had to stop for two days once, mainly because putting a band-aid in the same place every night was starting to tear up my skin (which is rather sensitive, being on the back of my neck and all). There's still a little bit of the skin-taggy thing hanging on, which I expect will probably come off tonight. All in all, a great cure! Easy, cheap, painless (though it did bleed a bit when it came off) and wonderfully effective. Some caveats that Sara's discovered relating to the garlic-slab cure: 1. Use a piece of garlic only a bit bigger than the wart/whatever you're trying to get rid of. The garlic is slightly irritating to healthy skin (at least mine); some people say it might burn you. So try not to let it stay pressed against your actual skin. 2. Take a break if the band-aids get to you, like I did (I didn't find that taking a few days off made any difference except to let my neck-skin heal). 3. You might want to do this while on a cleanse...I didn't, and as a result of the garlic's detoxifying nature, I now have four of those " wen " s (what I call " WTF " s) in my neck. They're painless and will go away with application of Deep Tissue Repair Oil, but if you were on a cleanse you wouldn't get them (because the toxins would be flushed out). These wens are caused by toxins that were bound up in your system (like your skin); when those are released, the body surrounds the toxin with a little fluid sac to keep it from causing trouble. And you have a bump. So: Beware; garlic detoxifies. Hope this is helpful to someone. I'm just so glad to have that thing off the back of my neck...I can wear a necklace again! I was told I would either have to get it burned/frozen/whacked off (to the tune of several hundred dollars!) or live with it forever. Yeah, well, nyah nyah allopaths!! Thanks all. --Sara T.
