APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

During this process I also did urine therapy,and coconut oil which I believe also helped in the healing. Well this is what I did and it cured me of my warts. Its been almost a year and those warts are still gone. I do have a few small ones popping up, but now I know how to deal with them. I hope this has been helpful to you."

They just kept coming back!! I went to a urologist who tried injections of intefreron-a which was expensive for weekly injections and also completely ineffective for me. I found this site two nights ago and began treating the areas with ACV. I soaked a panty liner and folded it to treat my anus and the flat cotton makeup remover pads taped to the base of my little man. I have also started drinking 3 onces a day to boot. After 2 days i already have some of them turning white and one turning black. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will repost more results."

I have never had an abnormal pap in my life and have two healthy children and have been married for 7 yrs. The Doc told me i had HPV naturally I yelled at my husband and acussed him of cheating. he swears he has been faithful i believe him. The doctor told me that hpv can lay dormint for years and usually stress will bring out the virus. I just had surgery and have been under a lot of financial stress. Any ways, I looked in the mirror and to my horror I saw the most disgusting things growing out of my va-ja-ja. I instantly got on the internet and looked at picture after picture. My growths dont look like the ones on the internet so then i found the vinagar test. I know that this dosent always work but i had to know (since the doc never told me he saw these finger looking things). They turned a little white, so I still wasnt convinced i had them but knew something wasnt right. Finally I found the ACV treatment and was convinced this is what i have. I am on day two of the treatment. I can only leave the cotton ball on for an hour tops but i have noticed the gw that i didnt know i had are coming off! However, my poor wings r very raw and swollen. I apply vitamin E oil to sooth. I also have started douching with dilluted acv since im sure they are on my cervix too and they are on the inside of my vagina.
I just want to thank everyone for sucking it up and posting their story, this is very humilliating and depressing and Im just glade there are others willing to share their story. I will keep an update in a couple of days. My advice for people like me is to not place blame on yourself or your partner. HPV is highly contagouse you can get it from sharing a towel, using the tanning beds. Dont give up hope there is help out there."

[YEA]  11/14/2008: Edward from New York, NY writes: "Hello all. This is a follow up to my original post on 10/20/08. ACV for GW's DOES WORK. I've had 5 GW's on my penis' shaft and scrotum; all are gone now. Hopefully they'll stay away too with my recent return to a healthy lifestyle of eating well and exercising. Though, I do have one HUGE piece of advice to all that are interested...

Each area that can have an outbreak of GW's is different. Some are very sensitive while others may be less so.

I STRONGLY recommend giving your skin a 24 break between treatments with ACV. Don't worry, It will still work. It will just help to prevent any scarring. Trust me... I was so eager to get rid of them upon first discovery that I treated 3 days in a row for about 10+ hours each day. Because of this I have a very visible white scar the size of a q-tip swab on my penis' shaft. I traded one temporary problem for a more permanent embarrassing one. It's like I have The Scarlet Letter on my penis now.

I've been putting Vitamin E on it daily and covering with a band-aid. The wound has healed but it is not getting any darker in color. In a few months I'll look into having it surgically removed via a plastic surgeon ($$$), if that's even an option. Whatever the case, I MUST do something to correct this.

Anyway...

I suggest the following regiment:

Day 1: At bed time, soak q-tip swab in ACV and apply to GW. Cover with band-aid. Remove after 8 hours.

Day 2: Let skin rest. Clean with Hydrogen Peroxide after showering.

Day 3: At bed time, soak q-tip swab in ACV and apply to GW. Cover with band-aid. Remove after 8 hours.

Day 4: Let skin rest. Clean with Hydrogen Peroxide after showering.

Day 5: Examine GW's.

If they are black or have begun to scab, immediately begin application of Vitamin E. Continue to apply Vitamin E for several days until GW is gone and skin is healed.

If GW is not black or scabbing, continue with ACV treatment as described in Day 1. Continue this treat/rest/examine cycle until GW is black or scabbing, then apply Vitamin as described above.

Hope this help. Best of luck."

Here is my story. Diagnosed one year ago with anal GW I was devastated. Not knowing much about the virus I was overcome with the reality that I had to tell my partner of 2 months that I had GW. After much hesitation I was coaxed by my new partner to tell him what was going on, he knew I had something on my mind so I told him. Being a very supportive type of guy he understood the situation and supported me through the initial shock of finding out I had GW. So, firstly the Doctor gave me a topical cream to try and sort the problem, did not work for me and the warts just got bigger. I had them burnt off with Cryotherapy, was a relief to see them disappear, but within a month they were back! With a vengeance! I noticed more than 5 re-appeared. Tired of visits to my local sexual health clinic (located in the most indiscreet position on the main street!), I was determined to find a natural cure. That is when I found this web site (yesterday). Anxious to try the ACV method I rushed to the store and got some cheap ACV and cotton buds. I used the cotton bud soaked in ACV method. Placed the soaked bud just inside my anus and went to bed, the pain was severe! but don't let that put you off, after 5 hours trying to sleep with the uncomfortable stinging I took the bud out and managed to sleep well through the night. I took a look in the mirror in the morning and I too had the warts turn white. Deciding to shower and clean the area I was AMAZED to find the warts coming off in fleshy bits as I washed. All cleaned I took another look in the mirror and most of the warts had disappeared! With only one application of ACV for 5 hours! I was STUNNED! Yes there was some bleeding of surrounding tissue and I have applied some antiseptic cream to ensure no infection will get into the abrasions. I will let the area rest for a day or two and then re-apply the cotton bud soaked in ACV method, perhaps for only 3 hours next time. Will update in a few days to let you all know how I am getting on. MANY MANY MANY THANKS to you all! And for anyone considering the ACV method, DO IT!! Never mind the pain, it is well worth it!"

I was shocked at the timing, given my girlfriend and I had just moved in together. 5 months earlier before we started dating I had 7 warts removed at a clinic in LA at $150 per wart it was not cheap but I wanted this over before starting a committed relationship!

I do not have medicare so wanted to avoid such an outrageous bill, then I found your site. I started treatment last night and this morning one of the smaller ones has already given up the fight!

I'm so grateful for all of you sharing, because of you I was able to have a very straight conversation with my girlfriend and turns out she had HPV before and understands. She is very supportive and understands that this is very common and to be safe will get checked as well.

Will keep you posted on my progress."

I have been in a relationship for 2 years and was recently diagnosed with HPV/anal condyloma (warts). So, my primary care and my derm put me on Aldara and used liquid nitrogen to freeze them. After reading all the side effects and length of time it would take the Aldara to work I thought of looking into some home remedy and found Earth Clinic's website (THANKFULLY!) I bought some ACV and used regular toilet paper and applied it for 45 minutes. I couldn't believe my eyes! All the areas with the HPV (not only the warts themselves) turned whitish. So bascially it was treating areas that I would never have known to be infected. So that night, as many recommended by people who've posted, I slept with cotton balls soaked with ACV. The next morning I could already see a difference. The areas that were whitish were now greyish and in some areas black. I repeated the process again that night and though kinda sore (it does sting a little at first for sure), I kept it on over night. By the 2nd day the warts DISAPPEARED and some areas that had turned blackish were a little excoriated. So, I have been using neosporin and Vit. E gel to alleviate any possible irritation. It has been about a week and the area is almost totally healed. DEFINITELY give this a try!!!!"

10/29/2008: Sharon from Florida, USA writes: "I first discovered a wart in the first week of September which was rather small. I assumed it was an 'aftershave' bump and squeezed it a few weeks later. It came back & eventually I self diagnosed myself w/ GW. I still went to the doc who gave me the options & I chose to have it frozen off to get rid right then & there. I was prescribed bactroban to help the healing, but to my disappointment another wart appeared a few weeks later. I then tried ACV and after 3 days the small wart was gone. But sadly enough another two weeks later either another small wart appeared on the same one came back that I did ACV on.

I knew it wasn't the first one because a big ugly scar is still there from the surgery. Has this happened to anyone? I know the ACV works but I wonder if I stopped treating it too soon ie. when the wart disappears (I've never seen it drop off like others have) is it safe to stop. The surrounding area seems affected & there's nothing else to treat, but do I still apply ACV treatment? Its now a month later & I just want to make sure this is gone!"

[YEA]  10/27/2008: Larry from Elmhurst, IL/USA writes: "Apple Cider Vinegar absolutely works. I have a small wart on the foreskin of my penis. Since it was on the foreskin that can be wrapped over the head, I decided it may work better if I don't use any tape or Band-Aid. I just took a cotton swab and remove the small amount of cotton from the tip. Then dipped into the ACV. The cotton with ACV was placed on the foreskin near the head. That is where the wart was. Then the foreskin is wrapped over the head keeping the cotton in place. I started at midnight. I had it in place until 9am in the morning. When I check in the morning, it was white and bigger than before. Then I replaced a new cotton containing more ACV. I had this on for another 9 hours until end of work day at 6PM. When I when to take a shower at around 9PM. The wart fell off when I try to clean it before another application.

I am currently applying one last application to ensure the wart is totally destroyed. My first and second application was not painful at all. The last application sting just a little bit. This pain is very light as I don't have high tolerance for pain. The only other thing to mention is that there is a small color change on skin right next to it. It is so small that this not much to worry about. I am sure it will heal in the next few days so I am not going to try to apply anything else to it after my last application.

I really appreciate all the feed and input from people on this site. I read quite a few before take this step. But this turn out so good that I owe it to all you to post my experience hoping that this can help others."

[SIDE EFFECTS]  10/20/2008: Adam from Blair, Oregon writes: "I heard about using apple cider vinegar to remove genital warts, and after trying to have them frozen off numerous times with little success, I figured I would go ahead and try it. I applied it to a cotton ball and taped it to my penis. It seemed to work great, except I couldn't find a clear direction on how long to apply it for. Unfortunately, I kept it on too long overnight damaging all of the skin on my penis which caused scabbing for a very long time. Even worse, these scabs have fallen off and left me with a giant patches of scarred skin on my penis that is much lighter in color than the surrounding flesh.

This cure did work to remove the warts, but I replaced them with scars that are even uglier!! Does anybody have any advice on healing these scars? The only cures I can find are directed at lightening dark scars, whereas my scar is very light color and the surrounding skin is much darker. I need to get rid of these!! :("

I went to the gyno & got them frozen off and it was the worst experience of my life, so I was really hesitant to go back when they re-appeared. I saw this website and got some ACV and Tee Tree Oil. I taped a little peice of cottonball damp with ACV over all of them. The pain gets worse as it gets better but it's not nearly as bad as the pain of the gyno freezing them off. To make the stinging subside I'd put some Tea Tree Oil on a Q-Tip & apply it, it also helps any scarring. To my surprise in the past week and a half I've gone from about 10-15 warts to 1 without one trip to the horrifying gyno. I am SO happy that I found this site and that other people could give me their input. 2 more days I won't have to worry about these nasty things anymore. If you're skeptical, try it!

[MAYBE]  10/20/2008: Edward from New York, NY writes: "Eight days ago I suspected I may have GW's. I'm currently unemployed and have no insurance but decided this was a huge deal so I decided to pay out of pocket to see my doctor; $150. Ouch!

He's a nice guy, he gave me a free one-month supply of Aldara (the rest I would need to buy at the pharmacy $$$), told me to apply it 3 nights a week at bedtime, not to have sex for 3-6 months and most importantly, "You're gonna be ok."

Normally, I'm a confident, athletic, yet easy going, 31 year old male. Even with my customary attitudes and the Doc's re-assurance, I was depressed... 3-6 months?!? I couldn't barely stand to look at these 3 GW's on my penis' shaft for another 3 minutes! So, I walked home dejected, disappointed and depressed.

I couldn't just sit and wait so I started surfing the internet until I came to the cdc website. It states that in 90% of cases the virus will be suppressed in 1-2 years. This made me feel slightly better.

Then I came to earthclinic.com. I was happily surprised and further comforted when I read each and every entry for GW remedies... Thank you to every one of you for sharing. Whenever I start to feel upset about this virus, I re-read All of the entries again. Since I don't feel comfortable talking about this with any friends or family, re-reading helps my mood knowing that I'm not alone.

My regiment: I cut a bad-aid in-half, the long way so to make it narrower. Then pulled a q-tip ball off the stick, trimmed with scissors and dipped it in ACV.

Then placed the ACV soaked q-tip ball on GW and covered with the thin cut band-aid. I covered each GW this way and did this for 3 consecutive nights before bed.

Now it is day 4. One GW has scabbed up and looks like it'll fall off in a day or so (promising). One has turned red with a small black dot in the center (not sure what to think of this one). And the last one is a deep purple along with all the surrounding skin (not good, think I've damaged the skin. I hope it doesn't scar).

For the rest of the day today, before bed tonight and Day 5 I'll be piercing a vitamin E capsule and spreading liquid center on GW's in hopes of healing skin.

I've also been cleaning with hydrogen-peroxide after showering.

A few questions:

1. Has anyone had their wives / girlfriends get the female only approved vaccination? Will this prevent future significant others from getting this annoying virus and GW's?

I'd be very disappointed in myself if I knowingly gave this to a future girlfriend / wife.

2. How do you know when/if it's ever safe to have sex with long term partner without a condom?

All my doctor did was give me a bandage wrapped in white vinegar and look for white spots.

3. Has anyone spoken to a sexual health counselor?

4. Any other recommendations as far as my current regiment?

5. What are some success stories concerning longest time without any recurrence. I read one writer say 8 years.

I'm thankful to earthclinic.com and everyone who has shared their experiences and encouragement. I will post again in a few days and am hopeful that I can add to the groups success stories."

The guy treated me like crap and I felt like I was the only one in the world with this problem. He told me that the only way to get rid of them would be to have surgery - burn them off - even having to put me to sleep!!! After crying all the way home from the doctor I got on here and read everyone's amazing stories about the home remedies. I am so thankful to first, find out that there are other people feeling as desperate and awful as I do, but also to learn that there are cures that won't cost me a million dollars as well as my sanity/ego.

Last night I ran to WalMart to get a plethora of supplies. ACV, Hydrogen Peroxide, Cottonballs, tape, vitamin E, garlic capsuls, A&D ointment - I'm sure I looked like I was doing an experiment!! I came home and bathed in warm water for about 15-20 mins. Got out, dried the area, cleansed it with HP and then applied cotton balls with ACV on it and WHOA kinda burned!! At first it was okay and it progressively got a little more uncomfortable. I got used to it and could not even believe what I saw when I removed the cotton --- all my GW were bright WHITE even one of the larger ones had turned grey!!! I couldn't believe this. I knew it was working. I only had left it on for about an hour and this is what I saw. I didn't want to leave it over night because I thought that might be too much at first. I'm glad I didn't. This morning I woke up and owie!! My vaginal opening (where I had one larger one) is soo sore and swollen. It really hurt. I took another bath and then after getting out tried to do more ACV and NO WAY!!! I did it on a few of them, including one silly one near my bum and another one up above my clitoris. These were okay for a while, but my vag couldn't handle it! Poor thing! So I took Laura from NC's advice and I'm trying the Vitamin E - I took capsuls and pierced them and took the get and rubbed it all over my labia and inside my vag. It feels so much better.

So that's where I'm at!!!

Anyone have any advice about applying ACV again tonight? Should I try it? If it burns like crazy - like I feel like I'm going to cry, should I still do it??? I do have a high pain threshhold, so it is BAD!! LET ME KNOW!!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!! ESPECIALLY EARTH CLINIC!!!"

I then took a shower and re-applied from 1 pm to 4 pm. Took a shower and went out for the evening. When I got home Sunday, I wasn't able to put any ACV on because I felt raw where I had been applying it. I have not noticed a change in the few warts I have. I have pulled a couple out with tweezers, but the rest aren't large enough to grasp. So, should I re-apply the AVC tonight? I was afraid to apply any on Monday due to the rawness and a semi-constant burning I had."

I found this web site and I could not believe it. this stuff works like magic. after 2 days of use the GW was almost gone! I applied it twice a day for about 30 minutes or so it killed those ugly looking things I had over there.

My tips are these: make sure you apply it on the affected area only and not on the "healthy" skin. it left some browses on my good skin and know I am waiting till these will heal. make sure you keep the area clean, I took at least 2 showers a day and washed it well with Tea tree soap. and cleaned with hydrogen peroxide to prevent infection.

I would like to thank this web site and all those who contributed. this has been a big head ache for me. and the fact I could not share it with any body did not make it easier.

THINK POSITIVE - THE ACV IS THE CURE FOR GW - I am now drinking this stuff twice a day with water and lemon to clean out my body. make sure you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, this will build up your immune system. I will never have an unsafe sex again in my life. and will ask to see paper with tests results from each partner - I consider my self lucky that I did not get something worse."

My outbreak showed up about three weeks ago when I lost my job and health insurance. The ACV seemed to be the most promising home remedy I found online. My ex called me a little over a month ago to let me know his wife had them and that I should get checked. (He and I messed around after I kicked him out, when they got together. Oh the mistakes we make). I had to put a whole piece of gauze over the cotton balls because they wouldn't stay. I slept with it on and it burned a little all night, but not so much that I couldn't sleep. This morning I can't see any difference. I will do it for a few hours today, but i'm going to a party for the football game tonight and don't want to smell like ACV, so i'll re-apply tomorrow. I hope this works! And Thank You all in advance!!"
