Warts & AllBy Reverend R Clark <clark@acceleration.net>
Some putative things to cautiously try from other complementary disciplines would need to include Olive Leaf Extract. It is helpful in some viral infections. The general advice elsewhere seems to follow its use orally. I personally have found it amazingly effective topically also, Your Mileage May Vary (YMMV). When I take it systemically I also dose up with enteric coated intestinal flora and fauna pills, because this medicine's powerful antibacterial action. The websites <http://www.nutriteam.com/oliveleaf.htm> and <http://oliveleafextract.com/aboutoe.html> can provide you with more background on, and dosage recommendations for, this amazing herbal.
Also, Dilute Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) and possibly Kanuka (Kunzea Ericoides) oils in carrier oil at very low strength with children as it may irritate their skin and are potentially helpful. I've a report on the use of full strength Tea Tree on a ten year old boy's wart for a couple weeks one application nightly at bedtime, uncovered. At which time the wart fell off.If you have cats there is a caveat concerning the Tea Tree oil, it “...is a phenol-containing essential oil. Its active ingredients are cyclic terpenes which have a similar structure and action to turpentine (a known toxin) - in fact Tea Trea oil makes a good paint solvent! Cats are uniquely sensitive to phenolics and other benzene-based compounds. Benzyl alcohol (a preservative) is toxic to cats. The acute toxicity for the major terpenic compounds (linalool, ocimene, alpha-terpinene, 1,8-cineole, terpinolene, camphene) is 2 - 5 g/kg body weight, which is considered a moderately toxic range. From a toxicologic point of view Tea Tree oil is comparable to oil of turpentine, which is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and skin. In addition, cats have relatively thin, delicate skin and Tea Tree oil is highly lipophilic (attracted to fats, solvent). This means that the oil is absorbed rapidly and enters the bloodstream.”
Have you tried Duct Tape for warts? I've had some limited success with this versatile stuff on a large Plantar wart cluster (named for Plantar region - foot). The idea is to deny the wart air and light which it needs to live and prosper. I highly recommend using the Professional grade Duct Tape, the glue is stronger, there are more threads per inch so it is stout and the surface is smoother and more comfortable. Leave a plaster of this material on the wart until it loses its grip and replace until the wart is gone.
Duct Tape Is using a form of energy healing, oddly enough. Because it is an analog for the "Force" of Star Wars fame. Sure, it has a "Dark Side" and a "Light Side" and it holds the Universe together <grin>.Literary and Graphical Freeware: Not for Commercial Use.
