Apple Cider Vinegar, Garlic

So I found a pretty small cluster of bumps on my peritoneum and freaked the **** out. My conclusion was obviously Genital Warts which blew my mind bc I haven't even had sex for 3+ months, my last pap 2 months ago came out normal, and I was under the impression the Dr tested for it in my std test.

Anywho, I immediately started treating it Night 1 with Tea Tree oil.

Night 2 I used ACV on a cottom ball 3 diff times over about 4 hours. It burned and everywhere that the ACV touch turned puffy and white. I still do not know why but it looked and felt like an explosion.

Day 3 I hysterically cried and had severe panick attacks. My vagina lips were redish and sore even tho the wart was not located on the lips. Used less ACV on a cottonball for a couple hours.

Night 3 Smashed Organic Garlic and TT oil on a cotton ball and slept w it overnight. It burned very badly!!!

Day 4 removed the cotton ball to find blood and wart cluster burned off! The skin is completely raw. My Drs visit was today and she confirmed I had literally burned the wart off.

But I have to note that I'm extremely disappointed w the Dr... I was pissed when I found out they didn't test for HPV in the STD test and when I insisted on an HPV/DNA test she refused stating "it's so common, we don't test for it." NO WONDER it's common idiot, none of us know we have it and so it spreads. So I don't know what type of HPV strain I have, or that I scientifically even have it bc apparently all they do now a days in the year 2017 is eyeball it. Unbelieveable.

Bf all this started and during, I've been taking L-Lysine & Silica which are helpful supplements (w/ herpes and cysts) so I think it's safe to assume they'll help w warts too. I got a really good idea to make a spray bottle diluted w water, acv, tt oil, and maybe a smashed garlic clove to spray on after a shower to inhibit wart growth.

Will keep you all updated, I'm only on day 4 but what I had is gone, yaye! I'm starting to cheer up but I'm sad my sex life will never be the same.

Wish I knew how common Genital Warts are or I wouldn't have been so irresponsible. Love you all and good luck. May we all be cured ;)

For genital warts, I used the coconut oil, no pain and they were gone or greatly reduced in a week. I took 2 tbs of coconut oil a day by mouth, it was 6 months later that at the first sign of reoccurance I used it topically.

Buckthorn Bark

Hi all, as a teenager I had a bad case of genital wart. My vagina was practically closed. In Back to Eden he recommended buckthorn bark for warts. I figured it would work for genital warts too. I made a tea and poured it over and into my vagina. The warts turned white and spongy and fell off in 2 days. They never came back and it was if nothing had ever happened. The doctor couldn't understand what happened. She wanted to burn them off :(. She didnt believe that I poured tea on myself.

Genital Wart Advice

Posted by Rusty (New York, Ny) on 02/04/2012

Hi, please, Please, PLEASE read this before you do anything. Do not put apple cider vinegar anywhere on your genital area. It may work, but you are playing Russian Roulette. (I played and lost). I just got back from my doctor and I have chemical burns with permanent damage from less than a week of using 5% vinegar for just a couple hours a day. My doctor said it was stupid and was like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito. Please let your immune system fight it. Do everything you can to strengthen your immune system (reduce stress/overwhelm, get sleep, relax, take vitamins A, C, D, E, garlic pills, echinacea, lysine).

Go see your doctor. If he wants to freeze it or burn it off, say no. We hate warts and we hate them down there and are eager to get rid of them ASAP. But don't be greedy, be patient. Or you will be very, very sorry, and will feel stupid for practicing medicine with stuff you read on the internet. ACV might be fine for warts on your hands, but please know that the only way to truly get rid of warts is to have your immune system fight them. Keeping them moist with oil or antibiotic ointment can increase circulation which helps your immune system fight them. Once your immune system wins, they will fall off. I tried to do it myself b/c I thought I would have a scar if I went to the doctor and he froze/burned it off. Now I have an enormous scar, and sense of major regret. If doctors recommended ACV, they would be sued. Please don't think you'll find the secret on the internet - boost your immune system and go see a doctor ASAP.

Genital Wart Advice

Posted by Candice21 (Los Angeles, Ca) on 03/04/2012

PLEASE HELP: I was raped and contracted hpv when I was 18, I broke out with warts and received medicine from my doctor, and the warts went away. The ignorant doctor told me that if the symptoms were gone then the disease was gone, which years later I found was untrue, the disease was still alive in my blood and I could still pass it on to others. NOW: I have heard that it is possible for your immune system to eventually fight off the HPV. I have had sexual partners that I failed used protection with (because the doctors said the hpv was gone) and that never contracted HPV. What can I do to get rid of this disease? I have had it for years now, but have only had the one initial outbreak of warts. I've read that vitamin supplements, quitting smoking, and staying away from iron can help increase the chances of getting rid of the disease. Is this true? I do not want this for the rest of my life. What can I do? please help. Is it even possible to get rid of this? or am I torturing myself by believing so?

ACV, Aspirin, Vit E, Tea Tree Oil

Posted by Lotus_flower (Bentonville, Ar, USA) on 08/08/2009

I am a nurse, and I just found out I have GW from HPV. I went to the doctor and I was prescribed a topical acid. First of all, that with insurance cost me 130 dollars, and I damn near passed out. But, I wanted the GW gone and probably would have paid anything. I began the treatment as directed. It burns and it is imperative not to get any on the healthy skin, which is difficult and adds to the anxiety of the whole thing. After a month and a half, it had worked-but it wasn't all gone. After reading on this site about ACV, I thought I really can't go wrong-I've waited over a month, been in pain for a while. I went to the store and got the following: vitamin E oil, pure tea tree oil, 325 mg aspirin and apple cider vinegar.

Make a paste with the ACV and aspirin. I had eyeballed it to make the right consistency. Add a few drops of vitamin E to the mix with a dropper. Apply it to the area and leave it on for a half hour and try it twice a day. You can apply tea tree oil all day if you want-it has penetrating power and the best part: takes away pain!!

I did the other treatment for a month and a half, and the result was sorta better-for 130 dollars.

I did the ACV treatment 3 times, and the area is COMPLETELY CLEAR after 3 treatments-for 10 dollars.

This doesn't harm healthy skin, and there's hardly any uncomfortable moments. I didn't think it would work, I admit. I was wrong, way wrong! I can't wait to go to the doctor in 2 days-he'll tell me that the treatment worked, and I get to say, "I have a confession...it was ACV!" I'm sure the look on his face will be priceless!

Hang in there all, there IS hope!! :)

Colloidal Silver

Posted by Marie (Ny) on 09/14/2016

I have used colloidal silver for twelve years and am not blue! I have a colloidal silver machine and I take it a few times a wk to prevent a cold or flu. The much older machines many yrs ago may have bigger molecules which may turn someone blue, but I seriously doubt the newer machines do that. I also know a man who makes the silver solution and drinks a cupful every day for the last ten yrs and he has not turned blue. The blue color is a lie to get us to take drugs instead of silver!

Tea Tree Oil

this will have been my 3rd post regarding my search and test for genital warts and more specifically vaginal warts. and as mentioned in my previous post, i've tried almost everything to get rid of these suckers. i've had them for 3 years!!!! beat that everyone. i've tried liquid nitrogen, podofolin, raw garlic, garlic gel caps, vitamin e, jobs tears, almost every vitamin and mineral, apple cider vinegar, almost everything. i got so frustrated i was going to throw in the towel and give Aldara a try; i bought it but was to scared to try it in fear of the side effects. but i've been reading some online write ups on Tea Tree Oil and decided either that or aloe would be my last shot so i headed to the health food store and got a bottle. i kid you not, it's been 3 days and i've seen drastic change! i still take my vitamins and minerals and drink my jobs tears every morning but the TEA TREE has done wonders for me. if you are like me and have tried almost everything and still no luck try Tea Tree Oil.

what i've been doing:

1) get a cotton pad damp with the oil and wipe the affected area in the mornings

2) before i go to bed again dampen the cotton pad and directly apply to the affected area for 20mins and wash.

you WILL feel a somewhat minty sensation (like vicks to the eyes) but for me it doesn't hurt. everyone is different so if one thing doesn't work for you try something else, then try something else, and TRY something else. it sucks, but for me the search is well worth it. since i'm only on day 3 i'll write back in a few weeks to keep you posted.

Green Tea

Posted by Anonymous (Michigan ) on 01/29/2017

Updating my experience with green tea for genital warts. It definitely works. All the warts are gone and they haven't returned it's been about 3 months. I did have 2 stubborn ones that were taking there time to disappear. Yes, disappeared because when you treating and addressing the virus from inside it doesn't turn black and fall off like it would from ACV but get smaller and smaller and it eventually dissapear.

After watching the movie "Fat, Sick nearly dead", I decided to give it a try, to juice fasting. I only juice fasted for 5 days I was still drinking my green tea at this time but something miraculous happened within a week after my juice fast the two stubborn ones had disappeared. So in order for healing can take place nutrition and dietary changes a must, because there's no DR out there that can heal you or give you a magic pill, only the body that can heal itself by giving it proper nutrition. Lots of fruits and vegetables and the right herbs.

You can also supplement zinc or use zinc oxide ointment along with green tea and lots of fruits and vegetables for faster results. I hope that helps.

Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Oil

Posted by Anonymous (Newton, Ma) on 04/10/2016

Since my situation is a little more severe than most postings on here, I wanted to give details on my struggle: what worked and what didn't. First, I have a strain of HPV that is both high risk for cancer AND shows warts -great! I am also a very healthy individual, who eats well and exercises regularly. Once I realized I had HPV, I went to the Dr.and she prescribed Aldara, which worked slowly on two small bumps. After 3 weeks, they were mostly resolved. However, a third bump appeared on my vaginal opening and started growing quite rapidly. I liberally applied Aldara (daily too) but could not tell if it was working.

In frustration, I researched home remedies (which honestly I was not a fan of until now) and tried ACV on it to see what it would do. To my horror, white bumps showed up all over the vulva and near the vaginal opening. So I realized that while Aldara may work, there was no way to know where else the virus may be presenting. So, I researched ACV and started with the regimen that others mentioned on this website (overnight was impossible due to pain, but I left it on as long as I could bear, or applied it a few times throughout the day). I smelled like a salad bar and spent so much time crouched over a mirror.

Initially, I thought I was saved: bumps turned black in the center within a few days and I could pick them off in the shower. However, once I laid off ACV for a day or two, new ones appeared and more vigorous than before. So, I started again with ACV, but this time it did not seem to work as well. It took about 3 weeks to get some gone, others seem to just stay white, and a few new ones appeared too. A constant rotation of bumps in different stages- it was so frustrating, it hurt so bad, and was getting to be a real mess down there. I also believe the ACV on the cotton balls was spreading the infection to outlying areas. So I tried different techniques: using Q-tips on each one (hard bc so many), applying coconut oil to unaffected areas (may have helped to some degree), using hydrogen peroxide, taking lots of baths and keeping it dry. It just wouldn't stop and I could never get all the bumps gone. So, I tried alternating ACV with Aldara each night, thinking maybe I needed to fight this on a few different fronts. But that combo was too irritating and then, when I switched back to only ACV, my vulva looked SO bad (giant white all over almost every inch of my lower vulva and opening). It looked like one of those horrific pictures on the internet. At this point, I was too embarrassed to go to the Dr.

Researching, I found a number of scientific articles about green tea extract's efficacy. So I mixed green tea extract capsules with about 1 oz. of grapefruit seed extract and applied this to the area (I also consumed green tea extract mixed in juice (with vitamin C)). The extract felt good down there and seemed to dry out the area. It also kind of stuck to the cauliflower center of each wart and looked like it might be helping. But out of nowhere, a new outbreak developed on my anus! Due to all the warnings on the labels to not use salicylic acid on genitals, I had chosen not to do so, but at this point, I just didn't know what else to do. And I found one reference on the internet where a girl whose situation sounded similar to mine had luck.

Following her advice, I bought a blemish stick by a popular health food brand which contained salicylic acid and tea tree oil. It WORKED! Here's what happened: I put it on liberally before bed - it stung really bad but only briefly. I woke up the next morning and MY WHOLE VULVA area was HARD and BUMPY (not white) - like an alligator's back. I was VERY upset, thinking I had just ruined my vagina for life. I spent the day in shock. But the next morning I realized that actually it might be a good thing. So I took a bath (water/soaking helps it work), and applied it again. Almost immediately the warts turned brown and partly black! By that very afternoon, I could rub off 50% of them. That is where I am at today. It feels like it is working completely, unlike ACV. I am no expert, but based on all the readings I have done, I'm thinking different techniques work for different strains... Just a thought. Anyway, I will write back again if there are any new updates. I hope this helps someone who has a similar situation. Thanks to everyone who shared their stories.

L-Lysine

There is one technique that I discovered many many years ago as my mom and sisters were using it for their cold sores and I had warts on my hands and feet - so I started using it.... The supplement L-lysine and it got rid of the warts. Years later I contacted genital warts and had some mutilating surgery which was extremely painful and about the time the surgery was healing more popped up. I was devastated and remembered the lysine. I began taking it again and they went away. I have to take the lysine almost daily or the warts will begin to return. I have been very acidic most of my life (about 5. 5 ph) and have increase the ph in my body, take coconut oil daily, and have almost decreased refined sugar intake to almost nothing, reduced gluten, reduced GMO's, and many other things but I still have to take the lysine. That is a cheap daily supplement to take and I swear that it has also kept me from getting the flu virus over the last 20 years that I have been taking the lysine - I have only gotten a touch of the flu when I have failed to continue taking the lysine. I thank you Earth Clinic sooooooo much for the site and the varied information as each of us is different and what works for one may not work for the next person. This is my favorite #1 go to site for information and I refer it to everyone I can. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU......

Essential Oils

Posted by Granny On The Go (Waco, Tx) on 12/30/2012

Please keep in mind that genital warts are a Herpes Virus and that L Lysine several times a day should be of help. Start with one 500 mg dose and work up to what as much as 1500 mg a day, divided into 3 doses, of course. There are also several herbs that are anti virals that may be of some help. The cures are here, we have just depended on Big Pharma for so long that we don't know anything about curing ourselves any more.

Genital Wart Advice

Posted by Jessica (Australia) on 11/29/2013

Hi, I have had genital warts last year June 2012.

I have tried the apple cider vinegar for a month bck in 2012 but not lucky with the genital warts as they came bck after 2 weeks..it peeled off my skin and also burned that healthy skin. I had great discomfort I could not walk very well..plus the putting it in a cotton ball inside ur vagina is outrages idea as it burns the soft tissue and cause bleeding..

Than I tried another method which was a success:

1. Buy 200mg Tagamet from over counter pharmacy/ take 3 times a day.

2. Drink Green Tea as it will help in shrinking the wart size at least 3/4 cups a day without sugar.

3. Take L-Lysine to soothe the skin to its natural colour. I used because docter burned and turned the skin black.

4. Take 2 muiti vitamin tablets.

I ate this for 4 months and it all cleared and never came bck. it has been 6 months wart free.

REMEMBER DON'T QUIT AFTER FIRST FEW MONTHS AS IT WILL TAKE TIME ACCORDING TO YOUR BODY AT LEAST 3/4MONTHS.MANY PEOPLE QUIT WITHIN A MONTH...PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO GET RID IT BEAR IN MIND 3/4MONTHS IS NOTHING.

WHEN YOU ARE WART FREE PLEASE DONT REINFECT YOURSELF WITH ANOTHER HPV STRAIN...IT WILL BE VERY HARD FOR TO GET RID OF IT....PLEASE DONT GO OUT AND HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE IN DARK THEY MUST BE HIDING THEIR BUMPS OF HPV...

HAVE ONE PARTNER AND GET YOUR PARTNER CHECKED BEFORE HAVING SEX..PLEASE ADVISE YOUR PARTNER WHAT IS GENITAL WARTS AND IT IS VERY HARD TO GET RID OF IT SO THEY DONT CHEAT WITH YOU.

Thanks hope this helps.

ACV, Aspirin, Vit E, Tea Tree Oil

Posted by Gwremedy ( Usa) on 04/27/2015

Hey guys. I am so grateful I came across this website/GW forum. In return, I thought I would tell you my experience and what worked for me. A couple months ago I had hard, skin colored bumps down there that appeared out of nowhere. I haven't had many sexual partners, nor have I been sexual active in about half a year. I couldn't understand what was happening. Went to walk in clinic and got diagnosed with GW's. I was embarassed and horrified. If you do your research, you will come to understand that this condition is fairly common and I could have had it from 4 partners ago, you're not able to tell. A lot of people have it and don't even know. Until your body can't fight it anymore and perhaps an event in your life such as high stress will finally bring them out. So, I picked up my prescription, condyline. I applied it to the area twice daily, 3 days in a row. Watts turned white but no sign of progression. I thought there has to be something else out there when I came across this website.

My home remedy: stopped applying condyline. I made a paste of 2 extra strength aspirin (crushed), tea tree oil, vitamin e oil and apple cider vinegar until consistent. I applied it on a few pieces of gauze and put it down on my spots for 20 minutes. It was highly uncomfortable and painful, as in burning. Took it off and carefully cleansed myself. For the next couple days I was in pain. I burned myself. Good news was that all the warts were wiping off until there were none! I was ecstatic and my region healed from the burning. (I applied aloe Vera a few times a day and vitamin e oil to ease the pain). I think because I used condyline right before that treatment, that also burned Mr it was a lot at once so that's why I burned myself).

Also tip: the Apple Cider Vinegar makes all the warts turn white and you can see all the regions affected that may not have popped out yet. Extra precautions: take apple cider vinegar tablets daily. I take 2-4. (This isn't new to me). Now and then drink a glass of water in the morning with 1-2 tbsp. Of Apple Cider Vinegar as well.

Go to your local health store and pick up immune system strengthening pills, do a trial. Your immune system needs to be strong again! Apply tea tree oil every now and then. Eat healthy and exercise. You gotta do what you gotta do. Healthy lifestyle, keep taking precautions and keep that happy level up and stress low. Now chin up! You got this.

You are right about building the immune system, but you are wrong about going to the doctor and getting a blood test for HPV. First off, HPV is not detected by blood test, only the HPV DNA test for women. Secondly, if you still had warts on you, then you still have HPV in your system. People, don't listen to this person giving out false advice, he doesn't even get the simplest facts correct.

Problem w/ conventional, mainstream liberal information outlets is that facts and truth are terribly compromised by greed. Jon Barron has done several articles and pod cast on the major flawed (lies) studies of vitamins by "independent" scientist/labs that just happened to be subsidized by large pharmaceutical firms and corps. As you might guess, or if you watch liberal mainstream news, ALL vitamin and mineral supplements are not only not beneficial, BUT they are actually harmful.

Banana Peel

Not to lower the tone... I contracted genital warts some years ago and underwent cryotherapy and used Imiquimod to clear them up. And they disappeared - or so I thought. Recently one reappeared. The horror, the horror. It was tiny, I'll admit, and I thought I would try banana skin before going through the abject humiliation and misery of seeing my doctor. Today I went and bought bananas and applied a little piece of skin to the wart... (Not in the supermarket, obviously...) After five hours, maybe even less, I CAN'T FIND THE WART. I was very sceptical prior to trying this, I confess to not having had much faith at all. If you're reading this and wondering if all these stories are written by quacks or nutcases - they're not. I've never written something like this before, but something that works so well, so easily, has to be shared. If I'd only known all those years ago. Thanks for the help!

Compound-W Freeze Off Wart Remedy

Posted by James (New York, New York) on 01/08/2008
★★★★★

Seems like a really obvious home treatment for genital warts. Go the your local pharmacy and buy a Compound-W Freeze off wart removal kit. Its is way overpriced at around $27, but it is good for way more than the 12 treatments the label advertises, and a lot cheaper than a visit to the doctor. Use as directed, you will know it is working when you see the area around the wart turn white, it stings a little, but keep the freeze tip on until it loses its cool. The white area goes away quickly as the cold numbs your pain receptors. Put some Neosporin on afterwards and wait about a week. The area around will scab up and then peel off, leaving you without a wart. It's what the doctor would charge you hundreds of dollars for doing in the office, but you can do it yourself, at home, in private, and get the same results. Don't buy any overpriced "healing oils" that require three treatments a day for several months and don't do a thing (my first mistake). The freeze takes care of business, quickly!

GW Vs, Vestibular Papillomatosis

Posted by JA (Sydney, Australia) on 07/04/2024
★★★★★

Hey all, I just thought I'd share that there's a skin condition (or "variation") in women called vestibular papillomatosis. It gets mistaken for GW. My doctor never believed I had GW because I've had this condition since before I was sexually active. It occurs around puberty.

I looked up photos of vestibular papillomatosis and it's exactly what I have. Symmetrical pearly little bumps that are in ripples. Apparently GW is different in that they're in clusters often spreading from a centre wart and has a cauliflower appearance. GW can appear anywhere in the genital area. VP only occurs in women in the labia majora and minora. It does not appear white under vinegar.

The bad news is there is no remedy for VP. ACV helps with irritation. I just thought I'd share this information because for most of my life I've questioned whether I have GW even though it wasn't physically possible.

I had warts on my vagina and came across this article of curing warts with banana peel. All I needed was a medical tape..tea tree oil and banana peel. I washed the area and dried the tiny lil things there...i applied a lil oil on them and yes they burned I then put lil drops of oil on the peel and placed on the warts the whole night. It would burn becoz of tea tree oil but after an hr or so the pain goes away....i kept it the whole night and in the morning I noticed the smaller ones had even disappeared n the larger one turned brown and the size was even half.....i repeated it the following night and the next morning..almost everything was gone...it only took 3 nights to clear the vaginal warts using banana peel and tea tree oil. Im really greatful for this remedy...i also suffered from yeast infections but when I took the banana peel and oil remedy.. everything vanished.....Banana peel rily works and its very efficient.. I would recommend this remedy if you have similar problem.

White vinegar is amazing, in just three days removed the genital wart, applying during the day 3 times per 30 minutes just on the top of the wart, and letting it over the night did the trick!!!

100% recommended.
