Why can’t my body clear warts?

Hi, no it wasn’t Chinese medicine. Definitely western herbal medicine, possibly with a bit of homeopathy thrown in.

the warts on her hands have never returned. A few skin tags a year later, which went pretty quickly. And a couple of verrucas recently. (2 years later)

I suffer with coldsores, they got worse when I went vegan for a few months, and then dramatically improved when I gave up refined sugar, alcohol and UPF. I think the worst culprit was my sweet tooth.

I also exercised and was a healthy weight the whole time.

I wonder, do you think cleaning up your diet and being very strict could help? Even if you trial it for a few months in the new year (0 sugar, 0 upf, 0 alcohol for 3 months)? In my own case, I wouldn't have guessed the sugar was the issue.

I have had a wart on my finger a couple of times but froze them off with otc freezing stuff. They went and didn't come back. That was about 20 years ago.

It was about 7 years ago when I had surgery. It hasn't come back. Both dentist and consultant were very sure it was a papilloma but said they would always remove and analyse to be sure.

Maybe the guidelines have changed since then but I would suggest asking dentist to take a look. It was my dentist who referred me.

Yes it was an "oral papilloma"

Looked a bit like cauliflower 🤮
The thing is they said that it looked like that but they would only know for certain when they analysed it. The consultant didn't hesitate about removing it, didn't seem like a question iyswim.

It was about 7 years ago.
I was seen very quickly at maxilo-facial unit.
Consultant said they would normally do it with local anaesthetic but it was quite far back so she checked to see if I could tolerate it being prodded but I was gagging so she said will have to be general.

Dentist referred me, he was great and very reassuring.

I had a wart on the roof of my mouth. My dentist referred me to hospital and it was removed under GA by maxilo-facial surgeon and checked in the lab. Not sinister.

I would get a second opinion as I was told they should always be removed as they can increase in size and spread. That's what the dentist and consultant both said.

One of my kids had a huge number of warts. Over a hundred (yep awful). 50 or so on each hand.

no way could they be frozen off. And they were still multiplying. Even when we were into Y3.

I mentioned them to my nutritionist (I see her for support with an autoimmune disease). She is also a herbal specialist. She offered to treat them. Made up a Gawd damn awful tasting elexir which had to be taken morning and night.

However. In less than a fortnight they were gone. Completely. Almost overnight.
no signs they had ever been there (except misshapen nails)

freaky.

anyway. We saw the chiropodist yesterday who identified some warts and when I mentioned the previous warts and the treatment she recommended we get some more of it. Because if the herbs had worked the first time then likely to work this time. (Some people respond to the herbs and some don’t, was her experience).

so yes. We are off to the nutritionist again in the new year!!!

worth a consultation? We see (virtually) Frances Hambly at the Natural Pharmacy in Wadhurst. Worth an email anyway

I think if you do some research, you'll find growing data that the vaccine can sometimes stimulate the immune system to clear lingering infections. That's what the doctor who stuck the vaccine in my arm told me anyway. Warts are neither here nor there, but HPV in the throat is not to be messed with. No idea how you know you have this though.

There was a TV programme I think it was called Embarrassing Bodies or something? A girl had persistent warts which actually indicated an immune system problem. I can't remember much more than that but I think it was on Channel Four with Dr Christian.

How do you know you have HPV in your throat?

I'd be off to get the HPV vaccine tomorrow, privately.

Re. The ACV I can't remember exactly because it was a few years ago, but I think I soaked for as long as I could (like 30 mins) daily for the first couple of weeks and then maybe reduced the time. And also put a drop of ACV cotton wool in a plaster on my finger overnight.
It might sting by the way! Shows your killing the bastard haha.
Seriously though, I recommended this to a friend who had a lot of veruccas on her foot that were making her embarrassed to wear sandals or get naked, and it worked for her too. Good luck!

Please get the one in your throat checked by a doctor or dentist ASAP. Oral cancers often present this way.

I had a group of painful, deep warts on my foot for 15 years. Moved to a hot country with sandy beaches and they were cleared within 6 months. I don't know if it's the hot sand or the extra vitamin D. My job is extremely stressful still and I get very little sleep so that had nothing to with it.

Have you seen a doctor about the one I your throat? I would get that checked

I had an extremely persistent wart on my finger (down side of the nail bed). The only thing that worked and that I swear by is apple cider vinegar soaks.
Submerge the wart, for about half an hour. The area will be puffy and look gross. The wart will blacken. Keep doing it daily until it's gone!

I have the same problem. I'm generally healthy same as you describe. Had a group of warts on my foot for about 15 years, this year they randomly went 😂 I still have a couple left though and nothing seems to clear them.

if you find a magic cure let me know! Drives me mad.
