05/01/2013: Clare from Lytham St Annes, England: "The white milk from the broken stem of a dandelion applied to the wart clears it up in a couple of weeks - if it's small."

[YEA]  08/14/2010: Kayll from New England, Usa: "Over the past year, I've been eating poorly and gaining weight rapidly. Along with the uncomfortableness of excess weight, I noticed three warts on my feet: two on my left and one on my right foot. Thankfully they aren't painful. However, I've noticed that they are getting bigger and bigger. Not waiting until they got painful to do something about them, I started researching.

I had bought some OTC products which didn't really work. At the same time, I started changing my diet to include a ton of mixed greens and salads. A read a book about adding mixed greens to the diet. The author had some warts on her body and after she started drinking green smoothies daily, they fell right off.

Well, I can happily say that two of my three warts have fallen off! The third one is in an area on my foot where I can feel it, but can't bend properly to see it. It's flatter than it was and may fall off on it's own soon, too!

For the past two weeks, I've been eating a big salad for lunch every day with mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, pecans or almonds, peppers, and beans of some type - with fat free dressing. I haven't lost weight because I'm still eating junkfood at night and heavy meals for dinner. But I will change that soon.

Another popular author I was reading talked about the importance of nutrition and health. He has similar diet recommendations - eating at least one pound of raw vegetables and one pound of raw fruits (who cooks fruits.. Maybe applesauce?). As I continue eating 1lb of veggies (i.e. my salad) and 1lb of fruit daily (for breakfast), I will comment about other ailments that should hopefully go away. I have really bad skin - sometimes called chicken skin - on my arms. I'm hoping diet will help that, too."

08/14/2010: Francisca from Michelbach-le-bas, Alsace, France replies: "Maybe it would be helpful if you told us which books you have been reading?

I do eat a lot of salad with all kinds of vegetables in them but my warts have never fallen off. As far as green smoothies go unfortunately I don't like them but I have been drinking quite a bit of vegetable juice mixed with fruit as well for the past 8 months. Don't forget that your body needs fat so eating the salads with no dressing might not be a good idea. Healthy fats are good for you and I can tell you that since my naturopath told me that my skin was too dry because I wasn't eating enough fat at least the skin on my face is a lot smoother (my legs are still too dry but maybe that will change soon)!"

[YEA]  04/24/2012: Joan from Loveland, Colo/usa: "My son had a large wart on the ball of his foot (about 2" round) and he had it burned out by a dermatologist and it returned, he tried all the alternative remedies but nothing worked. Finally, a podiatrist suggested the supplement - DIM. After 3 weeks of faithfully taking the pills according to the bottles instructions, the wart started to get smaller and smaller. After 3 months on the DIM, the wart was gone and has not returned. DIM eliminated any excess estrogen and balanced the hormones. Don't know why it works rid warts, but it works. Praise God."

[YEA]  12/27/2009: Chris from Henderson, Kentucky Usa: "My 5 yr. old son had 2 warts on his finger, we tried to freeze the off a doctors twice.I also tried ductape for a day or two but started applying dmso on a band aid at night ant within a week it went away. His mother had one on her finger before she was pregnant so I guess she must have passed to him. She also put dmso on a band aid and the wart left as well. I got the dmso at a health food store."

Duct Tape Cure for Warts

You'll Need:

• Duct Tape

The duct tape remedy for warts gets a lot of support all across the internet. The idea is simply to cover the wart with a strip of duct tape, choking the wart's oxygen supply. Whenever the tape gets loose, gently scrape at the top of the wart and then put a new piece of tape on.

09/06/2011: Phalange from Perth, Western Australia, Australia replies: "Glad it worked for you. You should know that warts are caused by various strains of HPV (human papilloma virus), not a fungus :-)

I'm from Calgary too though! Go Flames!"

[YEA]  03/11/2013: Julie from Melbourne, Australia: "I have just ended a long and weary battle with my plantar warts on the bottom of my toe. Originally I only had one, and it was pretty small and painless for about 10 years. I decided to get rid of it at the doctors and it took 14 visits to freeze it off so you can imagine how stubborn it was. In that time it multiplied and another 4 small warts appeared nearby. After they were all frozen off I was wart-free for about 6 months. Then I noticed 3 of them came back. I left it for a couple more years then I decided to take action but not cryotherapy again.

I tried everything, apple cider vinegar (they just turned white but no more improvement after this stage) tea tree oil (they looked irratated and red but nothing more) banana peel (no change, just a messy toe) gaffer tape (I read somewhere it didn't matter what tape it was, as long as it was durable, sticky and covering the wart at all times- but this did nothing) and duofilm (which turned white and I would pumice down every day but it would end up bleeding and the area got messy and didn't really show any change) and also nail polish (no change). I tried all these things for at least a month. I think you should really see changes in a month, or it's not the right treatment.

Eventually I came accross a blog where someone who had no success with anything tried this:

1. paint duofilm carefully over the wart (avoid surrounding healthy skin)
2. When it's dry, cover wart with a small piece of duct tape and then a band aid over the top
3. Leave for 6 days (don't even peek at it). If tape comes off, replace immediately.
4. On the 6th day, pumice off the dead skin, dry and leave uncovered overnight.
5. Repeat process again for 6 weeks or until the wart is gone and the lines of your skin are restored.

Feeling sceptical, I gave it a go, replacing the tape regularly because it kept coming off my toe. In the first week, to my amazement, the top of the biggest wart crumbled and rubbed away with the pumice stone on the 6th day. I noticed the 'seeds' little red dots were visible (the are just the hijacked blood vessels that the warts are made up of) and I kept repeating every week with more and more layers of the wart rubbing off every 6th day. I was amazed at this improvement. I kept it up for 6 weeks, until I saw no more seeds, and then another 2 weeks until the lines of my toe had restored themselves. I never saw any 'core' and it never turned black. I just keep burning off those layers.

Only time will tell if they come back but I am so happy that something worked!"
