APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

[YEA]  01/02/2009: Mike from Methuen, MA writes: "I had been struggling with genital warts for two years and tried Aldara which did absolutely nothing except cost me $40 even with a great insurance plan...they started spreading and I had finally given up and called my doctor to have them frozen off when I decided to try online for home remedies and came across this website.

I immediately went out and bought some hydrogen peroxide and some apple cider vinegar. It cost me about $6 altogether and after the first night the warts were a whitish color, second night of treatment the turned completely black, 3rd night no change so i decided to stop treatment and let them dry out as I heard that once black it means they are dead.

By day 5 the black warts fell off completely leaving my penis completely smooth with no scarring whatsoever and I am absolutely amazed.

This remedy absolutely works, takes little to no time and doesnt hurt half as bad as some people seem to say."

ON THE THIRD DAY THEY WERE BLACK AND WHEN I WASHED I NOTICED THEM RUBBING OFF THEY NEVER CAME BACK ON THAT AREA AGAIN.. I PLAN ON TRYING THEM AGAIN IN ANOTHER AREA THAT I HAVE. ALL I DID WAS SOAK A QTIP IN ACV AND TORE OFF THE COTTON TIP PLACED IT ONT HE AREA AND LEFT IT ON THE FIRST NIGHT I COULD ONLY STAND A FEW HOURS THE SECOND NIGHT I LEFT IT ON ALL NIGHT THAT THE THIRD NIGHT ALL NIGHT AS WELL THAT AREA IS STILL CLEAR."

I went to the gyno and they said just leave them and see if they go away. It's been about a year since I first noticed them and no change. I'm contemplating trying ACV - Has anyone had any luck using with internal warts??

It's so horrible and embarrassing.. and I don't want to be scarred or damaged as the area is so sensitive.. but I'm worried if I don't treat them now they might spread to a more noticeable place."

[YEA]  12/26/2008: NormalGuy from Dallas, TX writes: "After discovering that my wife of 8 years was having an affair, I immediately filed for divorce. Shortly after, I discovered a growth on my shaft which I dismissed as an ingrown hair until it began growing and formed into a second one.

Sure enough, it was GW. I was absolutely petrified... I was a virgin until marriage, and I was under the sad impression that my ex was as well. Clearly not.

In all honesty, I was way too embarrassed to see a doctor, so I began frantically searching for more discreet treatments. Thank GOD I found this website.

Long story put short, I immediately began barraging my body with immune boosting vitamins in the OTC "Airborne" tablets. I also started eating 3-4 fresh garlic cloves each day.

The ACV treatment came next. Basically, I am following the same band-aid+cotton solution each night and followed it up with tea-tree oil + vitamin E between ACV applications. Within 24 hours, the warts turned pitch-black after first becoming white. I couldn't believe it...

On to day-2! I just applied round 2 of ACV, and I am very optimistic. The only side-effect has been the expected burning sensation which is a negligible price to pay for the desired outcome.

Necrosis never felt so good!

THANK YOU for your help in saving me from immense humiliation."

My problem is there are 5 larger ones that look like a mosquito bites and a red area of small bumps on my testicles and shaft that are not having the same results. However, they do flake off after a few days of treatments, they do not seem to be getting any bigger, or smaller though. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this, or if there is something I may be doing wrong. Thanks!"

*** P.S My big Wart had already started to turn white before apply soooo does anone know what that means?????? "

I did try outside the anus but after the second day it was too sensitive there to do it again....I really need to do something. I can't pay the doctor bill anymore. by the way, i had one in my foot finger and i used ACV....gone!!!!in just 3 days!that why I'm thinking to use it inside the rectum."

[SIDE EFFECTS]  12/20/2008: Jamie from Vancouver, BC/Canada writes: "Well, I've been trying the ACV method for the first time for about a week now to hopefully rid myself of genetal warts. It seems to be working based on the comments and stories I've read on here, however, the pain and stinging from the ACV has become too unbarable and I've had to stop for (hopefully) a couple of days. I'm uncircumsized and have one wart on the head of my penis where the shaft and head meet (forgive me for not knowing the term) and a couple of small ones under the foreskin on my shaft that I couldn't see untill I started treatment. My problem is that they're all covered by my foreskin which makes treating them difficult and my skin got all irritated (hence why I'm stopping for a couple of days). I've tried using one guys 3 week method of wrapping my entire penis in ACV soaked paper towel and covering it with plastic wrap (this helped find the small ones) I clean the area with HP and use vitamin tea tree oil creams to help the healing. I guess the questions that I'm asking is, by stoping treatment for a couple of days, is it going to bring me back to square one? Are there any other guys that could offer some advice who have the same problem? Thank's in advance."

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED]  12/20/2008: ConfusedButConfident from Phoenix, AZ writes: "Well I used the ACV treatment after finding this site. I cleaned the area on my penis really good with HP and then soaked a q-tip in ACV. I applied it to the wart and left it overnight. When I woke and took a shower I noticed it had turned completely white. Cleaned the area with HP again and went about my day. Second night I repeated the process, and woke the next morning and the whole wart was black! Is this supposed to happen and what do I do now? I can see where it is starting to come off it looks like but I do not want to pick at it. Should I be applying more ACV or should I just let it be and apply some vit E like I read elsewhere. As for pain and discomfort there is absolutely no pain, and the skin is not irritated at all. What should I do next, I used this one as a test and I have one more to take care of."

[YEA]  12/18/2008: Tom from LA, CA writes: "Even the cheap Vinegar made from chemicals works. So does apple cider. Started with cheap vinegar. The 3 warts were gone in 3 days. Later started applying apple cider just to be sure. Don't know how long the vinger needs to be applied. When you apply vinegar...it will show more warts (white spots) than you thought. Thus i think the vinegar needs to be applied on a larger area than just the wart."

12/18/2008: Sem from Chicago, Il writes: "i don't know if i have henital warts or not...here is my story...couple months ago i have noticed a little bump where the qubick hair is just above my penis...i thought nohing of it because i shaved i thought that was the couse kuz sometimes i develope bumps after shaving...well, i started picking on it and now i noticed there are like 8 or ten of them all bunched up together...they look like little bumps...i used ACV two days ago and what i did i used q - tip and i was holding it for 5-10 minutes ..now they are little bit darker but still there ...please help////..is this normal and are they going to fall off any time soon???? thank you.."

12/18/2008: Zager from Chicago, Illinois writes: "I have tried the applecidervinegar on an area I think is genital warts, but I am not sure. I have had it in the past and have had it removed with laser. When I put the cider on the warts on the opening of the penis it doesnt turn white but it itches a lot. The fact that it itches a lot, does that make it positive that it is genital warts? Or something that shouldnt be there?"

I stumbled across this website about a month and a half ago. I decided to give ACV a try since it seems to have a high success rate among people who have posted on here. I had two moderate sized warts on the shaft of my penis. I applied ACV as directed by users on this site and noticed a very small improvement. I noticed bits and pieces of the actual warts falling off with each treatment. I have had the warts for a considerably decent amount of time so I had a feeling that they might be stubborn. I feel as the though the warts were never completely eliminated from the area and I fear that the skin may have started healing before I could get all of the warts. I couldnt continuously use ACV because of considerable burning and inflamation. As a result I believe the healing process began. Now I am stuck with what looks like one big scar, but I still feel something underneath the scar. I am not sure if anyone else can relate or know what I mean by that, but I can almost feel the wart underneath still. My hope is that it is scar tissue? Anyway, I am here because I could use some help. I recently began a new set of treatments with ACV. The burning is now 10x worse than on the original treatment and the inflamation isn't any better. I notice that the center, (the part that healed), turns a pearl white, while the surrounding skin is turning a brownish/black and beginning to scab.

With that being said, I am nervous to continue treatment and I am unsure what to do. I DO NOT want to end up with a scar that looks worse than the original warts, but at the same time I see a glimmer of hope to finally rid myself of these hideous things."

12/15/2008: Maria from Baltimore, MD writes: "I have had warts in the opening to my vagina...and there are probably plenty inside and I just cant see them. I really want to get rid of these to feel better about myself...After reading the postings on this site yesterday, I convinced myself to use the ACV. I put the tampon inside of me and packed the outside with cotton swabs.. I couldn't leave it like that for more than 15 minutes.. It was stinging so bad. But that was only my first treatment. I notice today that there was slight bleeding on the cotton swab when I removed it. Can anybody tell me if I am doing this right... Will it work if you just do it for about 15 minutes.. or do I have to leave it overnight? Thanks for all your help."

[YEA]  12/05/2008: Lola from somewhere, US writes: "As I understand the nature of the internet and it's spiders very well I dared to contribute about a subject that I have been so ashamed of for so long, but the results that I got from using ACV are so amazing I had to contribute hoping that my words could reassure someone who might be unsure if this is worth trying. I am a female. After reading this site for hours one night I tried a treatment immediately and just as so many had explained the warts that I could see were white the next day, some turned black and came out while I was using the bathroom. Also, note worthy, is the fact that there were so many more than I knew because it seems to bring them to the surface. YES YOU CAN PUT A TAMPON IN THE ACV AND PUT IT INSIDE YOUR VAGINA. It doesn't really hurt that much the first day but whew! YES IT IS GOING TO HURT VERY MUCH, VERY VERY MUCH ON THE SECOND OR THIRD DAY. . .I personally couldn't do more than a few hours by the 3rd day as I couldn't really get the tampon in my vagina from the swelling by day three. It's ok to take a break. So many of these stories suggest that it will be over in a day or so that was not the case for me. Over the past week I have had to wear a panty liner to catch the now liquified internal warts that have been basically draining for a week now. Tonight I am doing another treatment with more focus on the few partially external warts that I have by fully packing my vagina with the tampon and packing the external area more carefully with ACV soaked cotton balls and holding them in place with a large pad in my panty. I know this works because I have seen new beautiful skin that I haven't seen in a very long time smiling back at me. Don't be discouraged if it takes longer than a few days and you don't have to torture yourself with pain for more than a few days at a time, it doesn't seem to be necessary. If you need to take some time to heal a little you can come back to treat them after some of the irritation settles down. I have also experienced shots and jolts of pain over the past week even though I had stopped treatment, that was my body still healing and removing it's unwanted parasite. I am so grateful for the site and all of the knowledge that it offers. Now go get your supplies and get started! Common store brand ACV does work topically, $1.27, however I take an organic ACV shot orally and intend to do a monthly ACV douche for the next 6-12 months as a follow-up to this treatment. Best wishes"

[YEA]  12/05/2008: L from Orange County, CA writes: "Just adding to the slew of people who say acv works to get rid of GW. Oh my gosh, so I am on day 3. I have tried so many things to try and get rid of the annoying buggers. I used aldara which is extremely expensive and it did not work, went through the whole box, and instead of going away they got bigger and spread. Yeay, thats just great, so then I had them frozen, no just spread even more. Now I have been trying the ACV and in just 3 days they have already turned black. Right now I am just focusing on the one external, a little to scared to try the tampon thing, maybe I will try it soon, I thought about doing the acv douche though. I have been seeing positive results and will continue to update. I have also been drinking the acv everyday and have bathed in it once. The bath was draining, probably releasing the toxins out of my pores. I feel and look so much better. ACV is a cure-all. The best thing I have ever come across. This site is a life-saver. Thanks so much."

Side note: On the first day of ACV treatment I started taking 4 garlic pills/ day, 1 1000mg vitamin E pill/ day, 1 multivitamin/day, I drink 2 cups of each orange juice and apple juice a day, and took a 1 oz shot of ACV the first and third night of treatment (and will continue to do so every other night for the next month or 3). I chase each shot with a FULL glass of water without stopping until its completely done. Remember, you just swallowed acetic acid. I also ... often, drink about 8 glasses of water, and go to the gym and/or do something athletic outside every day. I surf weekly. I also sleep at least 8 hours every night. During the 3 days of treatment I left the ACV on the entire time I was sleeping and did not remove until I woke up. Good luck, I promise it really does work, just be patient, positive, and pray to whoever it is you pray to."

Now its my 4th straight day applying ACV(2-5 hours a day). Only a couple of my warts have blackened, but more than half of it is still the same (or may have whitened a little bit)..i soak like 2-4 cottonballs with ACV then tape it around the area between the head of my penis and the shaft (where most of my GW are)..am i doing anything wrong or is ACV just not for me?or should i just keep doing what im doing? the pain is tolerable for me, and my skin down there is pretty resilient to acv..."

12/02/2008: Carol from Bethlehem, PA writes: "i was diagnosed with hpv about four years ago when i first had a genital wart outbreak around vagina. i treated them via aldara and recently had an outbreak after beginning "oil pulling". i thought it was probably a reaction and received aldara again. in the last couple of months i have noticed a hard flat bump on the inside of my upper lip. it has not gone away or gotten any bigger. it is about the size of an eraser head around but flat. now that i have been hearing about oral warts i am wondering if that is what it is and who i would even go see a gyno or a dentist? i tried soaking a cotton ball in acv and my whole upper lip turned white and was very sore after only ten minutes. i dont know if it turned white because lip tissue is so sensitive or if it is because it is warts. i am very worried if anyone has any insight please help!!"

It's worse than the warts!! I have been cleaning it with tea tree oil and using vit e oil but it doesnt seem to be getting better! I'm devastated cuz I was really hoping for the ACV to get rid of my little warts and now i'm suffering a bigger problem. Has anyone else had this reaction? Is it that I've burnt my skin with the ACV? God I hope it heals soon."

However I am on my 5th day and have noticed my skin down there is really bumpy, has anyone else had this problem? The area isn't turning white with the ACV, so I don't think their warts but I'm not sure, possibly just irritation? Help!!! I soak a cotton ball and gauze and leave it on the area usually overnight."

[YEA]  11/26/2008: Morgan from Portland, OR writes: "I am amazed. A few months ago while showering I noticed a tiny bump on my outer southern region. I too thought it was an ingrown hair and thought it would go away - but in time it got a little bigger. In time I also noticed that I was itching a great deal down there. I was concerned. On Sunday I noticed another tiny bump higher up. Of course I freaked out - I was fairly certain now that I had an STD and was sure it was warts on my who-ha. OMG... what? Uuggghhh - disgusting. Who is ever going to want to touch me again now that I have a toady sex zone??? Disgusted & upset I came here. ACV seems to be the cure all for all ailments. Thank you all for posting your stories - it really does make one feel better and feel that there is hope to not continue having disgusting bumps on your privates.

I know exactly who gave it to me and at first I was quite upset... but he does not know he has it, does not have visible warts and a condom cannot prevent it. Coming here and reading the stories really made me see that just about anyone can get it and it does not mean that you are a dirty person or have to be promiscuous to contract it. It seems pretty common and happens to people in all walks of life - around the globe. But WHY me??? right!!

Monday, I went out and purchased a fresh batch of ACV at the local co-op. Monday night I soaked up some cotton balls and tucked them into my Va-gi-gi folds - it stung a little but not much. I adhered a panty liner and went to bed. Yesterday - when I awoke I discovered I have a total of 3 and they were obvious and now more raised & greyish. I dabbed them with HP and then showered - blow dried not toweled -- dabbed again with HP then Q-tip dabbed with ACV. In the afternoon - I only misted some cotton balls with ACV and placed them down there again - this time the sting lasted much longer but subsided after 10 minutes. I left them there for a few hours. At this point I felt a little tender down there. I mixed up an oil in no specific quantity - just a mixture of castor, olive, Vit E & A, tea tree & thuja oils - I put that on. I always tell myself not to get aggressive with things - but GW - come on - I had a hard time not doing something every minute. I wanted them gone. Last night I took a bath and added about a 1/2 cup of ACV. Blow dried again - then HP dabbs followed by the cotton balls soaked - pressed into fold. I thought I was going to scream. When people say it stings --- IT STINGS... the only thing I could do was tell myself it is working - it is working. It is painful --- I am sensitive - I cannot lie - it really stings, burns - at least for me. The other thought I had was -- the pain I am feeling right now - is not worth the pleasure it took to get here. OWE. I think I lasted 1/2 hour then put my oil mix on again and all was good again.

So, I started Monday night. Today, Wednesday - to my amazement - they all washed off in the shower. I HP'ed them then put on my oil. My Va-gi-gi area is swollen - but it does not hurt - just slightly irritated but totally worth it. I am going to stop the ACV for a few days but continue with the HP and oil. I'm guessing in 3 days I will do an overnight with ACV and see if there are any. On a side note - I also decided to purchase a reusable douche (did I mention I am freaked out - who knows what's up there?) and started yesterday with a diluted ACV wash. I also started taking probiotics just in case http://jarrowprobiotics.com/products.php I also drank some diluted ACV yesterday and today. I have a pap on the 10th. I am actually praying it comes back negative - no hurt in hoping."

I havnt been able to leave it on for more than an hour due to the burning. But I have to say that things are looking better. I did a double dose last night of acv, hp and tee tree oil. This morning when I woke up I had some bleeding so I know something is working. I am hopfull that i will be gw free in a couple of weeks. I am also duching with diluted acv and tee tree oil once a day. I have no idea if it is working but i have to try. I have also found a new remedie that i will try tonight. I found it online Oil of Oregano. I know that this heals most ailments when taken internally and it is pretty potent stuff. Has anyone else heard of this to treat warts? Like I said I dont know if it will work but this is what im going to do. Clean the infected area well with hp apply vitamin e on the surrounding skin then rub the oil of oregano on the wart itself let it be then apply tee tree oil to a cotton ball and leave over nite. I will update with my findings in a couple of days. Thanks to all!"
