Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Janet, HPV, aka Human papillomavirus, is an STD, that can cause genital warts and/or cancer. I guess you could say it's similar to Herpes, in the respect that it's not curable, but it can certainly be treated. If you will take a look here, it will give you a little more information. http://www.ashastd.org/stdfaqs/hpv.html If you are looking for an herbal treatment for this....I don't know of one....but your client could discuss treatment options with her physician. I will look around, and see if I can come up with further information for you. HTH a bit! Candy in AL > I had a client call yesterday who has been diagnosed with HPV > Human Paliomia (sp) Virus.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 I believe it is human papilloma virus. http://www.health-science-report.com/cgi-bin/alotek.cgi here is a link, just google and you will find your answers in the magic genie of google... just kidding. well, hpv I believe it is something that everyone has in their system, it just takes something to trigger it like stresses of a severe sickness, or life's curveball. or it can be caught, but I think only thru sexual contact. only a doctor will know for sure. good luck in your research!

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 sewingstorms [sewingstorms] >> I believe it is human papilloma virus. > Do you people not realise that this is HIV??????? Hi Folks, Actually, HPV and HIV aren't one in the same .. but both can be sexually transmitted ... *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://obgyn.uihc.uiowa.edu/Patinfo/Adhealth/hpv.htm Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is a very common virus (germ) that causes abnormal cells or growth of tissue on the skin of the body. HPV can cause abnormal tissue changes on the feet, hands, vocal cords, mouth and genital (sex) organs. Over 60 types of HPV have been identified so far. Each type infects certain parts of the body. In gynecology, we are concerned about the types of HPV that infect the female organs. Why Is HPV Important? HPV is important because the abnormal tissue caused by some types of the virus can lead to cancer of the female organs. Finding and treating HPV-related tissue changes is a way to prevent cancer. Where Does HPV Grow? HPV can grow on the cervix (opening to the uterus), vagina (birth canal), vulva (lips of the vagina), urethra (opening urine comes through) and the anus (opening for bowel movements). There are two kinds of abnormal tissue caused by HPV: CONDYLOMA (warts) and DYSPLASIA (pre-cancer). Doctors can evaluate you for presence of the abnormal tissue by examining the skin of the vulva and vagina and by doing a Pap smear. * <http://obgyn.uihc.uiowa.edu/Patinfo/STD/warts.htm> CONDYLOMA (GENITAL WARTS) are wart-like growths found in the genital area, most commonly on the outside or vulva. They are usually painless, but may cause itching, burning or slight bleeding. Warts can also be found around the urethra and anus. Inside the vagina and on the cervix, warts are usually flat and Pap smears usually alert us to their presence. * DYSPLASIA is the presence of abnormal cells on the surface of the skin. Dysplasia is not cancer, but may turn into cancer over a period of years if it is not treated. Treatment gets rid of dysplasia so that the tissue cannot turn into cancer. The only way to tell if dysplasia is present on the skin of the genital organs is by taking a Pap smear or a biopsy (piece of tissue). Dysplasia can be evaluated through a magnifying glass called a colposcope, but only the biopsy gives the final diagnosis. Dysplasia is most often found on the cervix, but can also be found on the vagina and vulva. How Is Human Papilloma Virus Spread? At this time, very little is known about how or when people become infected with HPV. There is research being done to answer some of these questions. What we do know is that HPV is mainly spread through sexual contact. Women may be exposed to HPV and not develop dysplasia or genital warts for many years. Both men and women can be infected with the virus and not know it. What we do not know about HPV 1. When can a person with HPV give it to another person? 2. How long is a person with HPV able to give it to somebody else? 3. Why do some people who are exposed to HPV get condyloma or dysplasia and other people do not? Prevention There are three ways to decrease exposure to HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases. 1. Using condoms (rubbers) during sex. 2. Monogamy - have sex with only one partner. To be effective, monogamy must include both partners and be long term. It is helpful to discuss this with your partner. 3. Abstinence - not having sex. This does not mean that other forms of closeness need to be eliminated. Examination Of Male Sexual Partners We recommend that male sexual partners of women with genital warts be examined by a physician. If warts are found on exam the partner can be treated. If warts are not found, the male may still carry HPV, but show no signs of it. Some physicians are more knowledgeable about genital warts than others. Dermatology, Family Practice or Urology specialists will likely be most helpful. Ask the nurse or physician if you have more questions. Cigarette Smoking If you have been exposed to HPV and also smoke, the chance that you will develop dysplasia is much higher. If you already have dysplasia, stopping smoking may reduce your chance of the dysplasia coming back after treatment.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I just read in two doctors articles saying that this is not HIV. They elaborated several huge differences and said to be careful to ensure you dont get HIV. These are two completly seperate things. Where did you get your fact from? That is a very scary thing to throw out there with no facts to support it. Please send a link so we can read about it too.. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_6x_human_papilloma_virus_hpv.asp\ ?sitearea=cri is a link about HPV and about what it is/does and how it is not HIV. Great link about how this is sexually transmitted etc... very informative much like a lot of the links already sent Judy - " sewingstorms " <sewingstorms Sunday, October 24, 2004 7:26 PM Re: Request for Information > > > > I believe it is human papilloma virus. > > > Do you people not realise that this is HIV??????? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I haven't been following this thread very closely, but HIV and HPV are two different things. Human Papilloma Virus or HPV is NOT the same as Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hi Janet - It is true that HPV and HIV are entirely different viruses and may be spread sexually.

GO back this up with research !!!!, Human papilloma virus can lead to cancer but I've never heard it leads to AIDS. Virus is what they have in common....plenty of viruses around.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I had never heard of HPV until recently. Okay, that shows my age but, oh well.. Anyway, I did a search for information on HPV. How do you figure this is HIV ? It is totally different and is warts. If it was HIV then it would be called HIV and not HPV. It is genital warts . http://content.health.msn.com/content/article/41/1728_50936<http://content.healt\ h.msn.com/content/article/41/1728_50936>?

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Dear Deb, Go to your local health food store and ask for Red Yeast Ricc capsules. My mother's doctor put her on it about a year ago to lower her cholesterol too. I bought the capsules but my mom said that they were too big and refused to take them. :-( So I hope that they help you. Good Luck in your search.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 i wanted to thank all that responded to my request for information on the red yeast rice. seems that there are alot of people out there that use this. i did do a google search on this and the very first one came up with this url http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_view/1,1525,10054,00.html it states that in 2001, the unregulated nutritional supplement was withdrawn by the FDA. seems that the agency determined that it was chemically too similar to the prescription medication Mevacor and should be classified as a drug and controlled by the federal government. now the copyright date is 2000. just wondering if anyone has had any problems getting this. i've since seen many online shops selling it but just wanted to know the stats on this or if it never came into being. thanks deb chillicothe, mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Is anyone aware of a holistic school that accepts the peil grant or any federal assistance. I'm trying for an online holistic healthcare practitioner class. I would like to attend clayton collage of natural health, but they don't qualify for federal assistance progams (I don't think they do anyway) or any others for that matter. I realy would like to do this but money is an obstical at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
