Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 First, thanks to everyone for their input on the vaccine for HPV. I have been reading a lot of literature on this since June 2006 when Gardasil was approved by the FDA for Human Papillomavirus (types 6, 11, 16, 18). It is estimated that 70% of cervical cancers are caused by HPV 16 and 18 which can also lead to vulvar and vaginal cancers. It is estimated that HPV 6 and 11 cause 90% of cases of genital warts and are also responsible for abnormalities on Pap tests and low-grade cervical abnormalities. I began to further my understanding by learning about alternative methods vs allopathic methods for treatment of genital warts if they are already present in our cells <for life>. In my research, I was amazed at how many people stated the topical drug treatements created even more warts. I remember a shamanistic homeopathic healer once saying that a viral outbreak needs to surface out of the body and that it is better " out " than " in " . I am so inexperienced with this topic and want to be very informed for the school year, because I know I will be questioned since the commercials have come out with little girls singing " I want to be one less " because they got vaccinated with Gardasil. :-( So here are my questions to any experts out there: 1. If you are infected with gential warts, should you always have it biopsied and tested to determine if it is one of the four strains of HPV that are claimed to cause cervical, vulval, or anal cancer? I read that if a wart returns after being treated/removed, only then should you have it biopsied for cancer. 2. Tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, garlic, banana peels, coconut oil are some natural methods of ridding the skin surface of the viral outbreak. Are these superior methods to the prescribed topical treatment such as lotions, creams, interfuron injections, freezing, or surgically removing warts off the genital area? Students may ask me these questions and I need to be armed with as much information as possible when we have discussion groups on risk behaviors, protection, and abstinence to guarantee full protection from serious STD's. It is interesting that doctors use white vinegar to help them visually see tiny genital warts, but do they realize that by using vinegar (5% solution) that it also helps rid the skin of infection? I wonder. in loving kindness, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I had this problem and cured it with Vitamin A. 25,000 I.U. taken once a day for six months plus 10,000 I.U. applied twice a day for three days. On the third day the warts were completely gone and have never come back. deborah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Dear Deborah, Vitamin A? That is amazing. Could a fat soluble, oil based chemistry in vitamin A have blocked oxygen from the viral cells and suffocated them? They say that once you have a virus, it never goes away...there is no cure. In your opinion, do you think that you cured yourself, or arrested the viral load from re-surfacing? How many years has it been? I heard viruses hide in cells and can go dormant for more than 10 or 20 years until the immune system breaks down and finds opportunity to rear its ugly head, again. In your case, I hope not. thank you for this information. I am going to compile all information received, look into it some more, and keep this information as reference material for classroom discussions, should they come up. in loving kindness, Linda ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
