I'm sure like everyone else who first discovers genital warts i was confused! i always thought i was being so careful, but i guess somewhere along the line i wasn't. So i went straight on line to research my options, my are just inside my vagina and i noticed everyone explaining how they had used the doctor prescribed medicines with very little results, i needed something to work and take them away without the stress of returning visits to the doctors. I first tried the natural oils you can buy on line, and they don't work at all, not even reducing them just a little. I then came across this great web site, and people explaining the great results with garlic, i decided to go out straight away and buy some liquid tablets. I found in a health shop that you can buy liquid garlic which you can add to your drink twice a day. I thought it would work far faster that way. So only at the weekend i started taking 2 teaspoons of ordorless liquid garlic in to any drink once in the morning and once at night. Within 3 days i saw that they were reducing in size. I now have started to soak a cotton ball into the garlic liquid and placing onto the warts for 10 mins twice a day. I have seen a huge difference, i am going to continue to do this until they are cleared completely, i did buy a immune boost tablet just for good measure which i'm taking 3 times a day. If you are also suffering with genital warts i would really try this, its a cheap option and it is really working! i'll keep you posted.
Garlic, Job's Tears, Tea Tree Oil, Diet
Posted by Repentent (singapore, singapore) on 11/11/2007

After two months where I was inflicted with Genital Warts, I had begun on an oral remedy for Genital Warts.
01) Job's Tears
I had the Job's Tears soup, the white beans boiled in water, eaten whole with the water based solution without sugar.
1 pint per day, 3 days a week.
02) Raw Garlic
I had 3 mini cloves of crushed raw garlic which I swallow with water.
3 days a week.
03) Cut Down on Sugar
04) Brocolli Carrots
(Water Boiled for 2-3 mins)
3 days a week
Note: I applied Tea Tree Oil for 3 weeks continuously where growth of Genital Warts did not seem to retard. In addition, I applied H2O2, hydrogen peroxide, which in one occasion caused bleeding at the inflicted wart area.
To date, 2 months of the above remedy, no sizable Genital Warts re-appear in the Penis Region.
Using tactile touch, I spot some very small warts at the anal region.
But generally, I am glad that either the Raw Garlic or the Job's Tears Solution is working to improve my immune system which would counteract on the viral infection which brings about the Genital Warts (GW).
As it is, as research has shown as GW is a viral infection, I do believe an oral remedy instead of a topical remedy is more effective as it seeks to correct the problem at its 'root'/cause.
This is my final update, I would seek to update the readers of my progress of the continued oral application of cocktail of
01) Raw Garlic 02) Job's Tears in 6 months time.
Just take note, every sex encounter you have IS A RISK TO STD, condoms don't have.
Just find someone and be faithful to each other... it's hard, but it beats getting weird dieases like warts and herpes!
Summary, I stopped sex activities after this experience. And will opt to be much more careful with the next confirm life partner... getting STD from flings, etc is not worth it!

Wanted to get back to you all. I was writing a huge posting just a minute ago, I don't know if it posted or if my computer erased it, but here is the info again.
For the last 2.5 months I've been taking garlic pills, the last 1.5 months, I've been using the liquid inside the softgels and applying it as a lotion plus taking the pills. I've seen great results using the cream, but for the month that I was only taking the pills, they did absoulutely nothing. About 2 weeks in to using the lotion I ran out of the pills I had been using (Sundown Odorless Garlic) and bought another, less potent brand. All of the reaction that had been going on in the area affected by GW stopped and started to heal. After it was pretty much healed up, I noticed that a lot of the warts were gone, and some were barely visible. I don't know if they are still warts, or if what I'm seeing are just little scars. Anyhow, thinking that the job wasn't done, I went and bought the Sundown brand, and started using it again for the last 2 weeks. The reaction hasn't been as dramatic as before, but, some of the skin is starting to flake off again, and it appears that the warts/scars(?) are getting smaller.
In my previous posting I mentioned that I was using ACV as a wash 2 times a day on the affected area. Two days after I wrote that, I had to stop doing it. The pain was almost unbearable. However, the wart I had been spot treating with a swab was gone. After about a week of healing, the skin was healed and no sign of the wart, except for some very light, minimal scarring.
Using my experience, this is what I recommend to you guys:
1. Take 3 Garlic Soft Gels (Sundown--73.5mg, if you can) twice a day for good measure, but I really don't think it's doing anything for you, but keeping your cholesterol levels low
2. Apply the gel from one soft gel to the affected area twice a day to stop and eliminate many small warts.
3. Spot treat larger warts with a ACV on a swab directly applied to the wart twice a day for 10 minutes each time.
One last thing, when the skin starts flaking off when you are using the garlic gel, it will be a little painful. On a scale of 1 to 10, the ACV I was doing hurt at about an 8; the garlic gel treatment, at about a 4 and only when I was washing in the shower.
This method is working for me, and I am seeing results. I hope this helps. Once again, good luck to all of you.

I've been trying the ACV treatment on my warts for about 1 week now. And I am happy to say that it works! I've been struggling with this since about January when I got my first outbreak. I didn't want to go to the doctor because I was embarassed, so I checked on line. I found this product called "Warts No More". IT DOESN'T WORK. It did, however, help spread my 4 or 5 warts to something like 30. It was a waste of money and very frustrating. I also used Compound W "Freeze Off", and that took care of one of the bigger ones, but about a month ago it came back as two smaller ones. I also tried salycilic acid (Wart Stick), which is the highest content of salycilic acid I could find over the counter (20%), but it was way too rough on that sensitive of an area. So I stop after a week, and let all the skin heal--no scars thankfully. So, this brings me to ACV. I read something about a "Vinegar Test" doctors use to determine if someone has GW. Still in denial, I tried it out a couple of times-I saw no results. However it appeared that the warts had gotten smaller. That's when, on a web search I found this site. I've been taken 3 3 Garlic Pills a day (jury's still out on that, I don't know how much effect its having, they do appear a bit more under control, and they are getting smaller) for about a week now. I have also been doing an ACV wash twice a day after my showers, as well as applying ACV directly with a swab for 10 minutes twice a day on the two warts mentioned above. I've been doing the direct application for 3 days, and today, I see only two scabs where those hideous things had been. I'll keep you all posted on the progress of this treatment for the other warts. But, for once, I think something is truly working. Save your money! Go buy some ACV at the supermarket, and pop some garlic pills for good measure. You will be pleasantly surprised. I was! Good luck to all of you.
Garlic, Red Wine Vinegar

I would like to give an update on the garlic and red wine vinegar treatment for genital warts. Shortly after posting, all the warts were completely gone by the end of 2 weeks. I have also gone to my gyn for a follow up and i was told that my pap smear was normal and that I did not have HPV anymore. I was advised to make sure I get an exam every 6 month. I also shared with my gyn how I used natural remedies to get the warts off and she was impressed!
Coconut Oil

After extensive research on the web when I discovered I had genital warts I decided to give coconut oil a chance. I couldn't bare the thought of going to a doctor and asking them to look at a growth on my butt, worse, there were some just inside my colon (which is typical with genital warts on the anus). After 6 weeks of 2xdaily enemas and massaging in a tablespoon of coconut oil over the warts... they are completely gone. A lot of information on the web says genital warts don't go away without serious treatment (burning off, laser, freezing, etc). I am a believer in coconut oil. It worked on me. It also made my skin glow and feel baby soft. I found myself caressing my skin, amazed at the pleasant silky feeling. Rubbing it in my hair made it super shiney and healthy. I want to fill my hot tub with coconut oil and marinate in it for days.
White Vinegar

I had a recent outburst of a vaginal wart. It looked like a raised bumpy mass and it kept on growing, fast. It got to the size of a thumbnail and raised about 1/4 inch. I did not want to use traditional medications so I saw that Apple Cider vinegar worked on regular warts. Well I had no Apple Cider vinegar, how about regular white vinegar. I soaked a q-tip in the vinegar and treated the wart directly for 10 minutes a day. After about 8 days the wart started to disappear, more and more each day. Then the area would bleed where I applied the vinegar, something was happening. As it bled the wart was disappearing. I treated the area every day until it bled. Eventually the wart was gone and a hole was there. The vinegar ate away the wart. This took about 2 weeks. If the wart threatens to come back I re-treat with vinegar for a few days, and its gone again. I hope this helps someone else.

After being let down by so called genital wart treatments online I searched up home remedies and found one that actually works. So i went out and bought it that night and tried it with myself and with my husband. Garlic liquid pills. We took about 6 a day. 3 in am and 3 in pm. After 3 days they got smaller and smaller. In about a week, if that, they were so tiny it was unnoticeable. I was so scared, didnt wanna have any sexual contact or look at my husband. I was so afraid my kids would contract it. But now im so happy I learned what wonders garlic does. Its a virus killer so it attacks the virus inside. Its also alot better then having to tape something on your vagina! How are you supposed to do that?! So just swallow some garlic pills until theyre gone, which is about 2-3 weeks the latest, then drop down to 2 or 3 to be safe they don't come back. I have not seen another wart or have felt one in about 2 months. It makes you feel good again and brings back your esteem. Pretty sure this aint a cure cause theyre are no cures for this virus,so just play it safe when you do have sex and always wash your hands after going to the restroom. This virus is very catchy so please be careful. Do not use same towels or wash cloths with others.
Castor OIl

I've had a wart on the inner labia for literally years. I tried various things and nothing worked. ACV was too painful for this old gal. Lately, the wart started tingling and was getting bigger. I decided to try castor oil. It worked. Seriously worked and no pain. I put some in a dropper bottle so I could put a couple drops on my finger and rub it on top of the wart several times a day. The wart got smaller really fast and because of the 'traveling' of the oil, I found a small wart that I didn't even know I had.
It's been a couple weeks since I started using the oil. The little wart was gone after the first week and I can barely feel the bigger one today. I'm going to keep rubbing on some oil for a few days after the wart is gone just to make sure.
BC Powder, Banana Peel, Tea Tree Oil

Let me tell u what really works. I used a BC powder, banana peel, tea tree oil, guaze pads, neosporin & medical tape... I took a cotton ball saturated the banana peel with the tea tree oil, then put the entire pack of bc powder in it... I taped it to the warts before bed left on over night (only do this once)... it will sting & even burn a bit... not to bad though . When u wake it will be a gray or white ... possibly even swollen... don't be alarmed. I almost freaked out myself but stay calm you'll thank me tomorrow. Take baths instead of showers soaking in warm to hot warm gets it off faster ... I went to wipe myself the next morning the warts were in my hand... it was like a chemical peel. I had lots of tiny warts.. once it all peels off apply neosporin as a skin protectant or Vaseline. You're welcome.
Oregano Oil

Hi everyone. I love earth clinic and a love all the courageous people stepping out of the medical box/trap/money grab that has been set up for us. I was suffering from genital warts other wise known as hpv, I had what I think can be said was a mild case of a few to a dozen small flatwarts slightly raised confined to my pubic area with a few on the base of the shaft of my penis. I had them removed by a doctor but they came back. I used Apple Cider Vinegar but the pain was unbearable and did not seem to work. I used diluted oregano oil and had a little luck but they were still there. I then bought pure oregano oil (make sure it's pure and not diluted) and I had success and have been free of all warts for close to a year. I applied 4 drops and spread it by making circles with my finger to my shaft base and pubic area massaging it in for a few minutes. It burns a lot but it's more bearable then Apple Cider Vinegar and the pain subsides. After a few applications over a few days my skin peeled kind of like a lizard, I was still showing signs of warts though so what I did next as cut them of by grabbing them with nail clippers and removing as much as I could, it's slightly painful but try to grab the wart and not the healthy skin and no I'm left with no scarring, after cutting I would apply oregano oil in the same way as mentioned previously. After what was I guess now about a month I was having no return of warts. I applied a maintenance dose for a few months after a few days a week. And I am in my opinion and of the doctors since they can't actually check on a male unless he's showing actually signs of warts, free of hpv. If you have them on you balls or shaft it will hurt more I imagine, as well if your a woman since I believe the vagina is more of a mucus membrane. You could slightly dilute with say coconut oil.
Well I hope this helps someone. Bless you all, I love you. Take care and be careful who you sleep with. Please ask if you need clarification. Peace and love.
Zinc

Mix equal parts organic coconut oil with organic oil of oregano. Mix well with q tip, dab on wart, leave on 20 min. Slight burn sensation, do twice a day. To speed things up a little, add one drop full strength dmso. Burns more but tolerable. Vitamin A 10,000 iu once a day. Warts will be gone in 3 weeks. Vitamin A should continue for 90 days. Wish you all well.

My daughter of 22 years old was diagnosed with HPV strains 16 and 31 (after DNA analysis - HPV). It has no visible lesions of the cervix but Pap test occurred changes in the cells (ASCUS and AGUS). The doctor prescribed a very good treatment with Cervugid Ovules. We repeated Pap in February, after treatment and all analyzes were good. I hope other patients to get better after this treatment.

Raw garlic topically does work, it is very painful tho and requires mental strength, and multiple treatments. What worked, using it continuously for about 3-5 days in a row does wonders, it will go away, don't smoke, drink or take excess sugar after it heals, or warts will come back
Genital Wart Advice
Posted by Jad2112 (El Paso, Tx) on 11/24/2015
If it's simply itchy, it's very hard to say if it's GW or not. ACV will indeed burn whether or not you have warts (the acid will burn the top layer of skin off with frequent exposure to the vinegar), so I think you're safe. HPV can be very difficult to detect with standard STD tests, but one way to find out if you do have GWs is to apply the ACV with a cotton ball (with or without an adhesive to keep it in place) and leave it on for about 30 minutes to an hour. When you remove the cotton ball, check any skin that was in contact with the ACV for any whiteness. A white tint to your skin can be indicative of unseen, underdeveloped GWs. Even if you do see white, just continue with an ACV treatment method (basically the same process described above) for a few days, or until you no longer see white spots. ACV genuinely works with this, you just need to be diligent with your ACV application (change out the cotton ball every hour-hour and a half consecutively), and be sure to clean the affected area after each application, preferably with a shower followed by a healthy dose of hydrogen peroxide to the affected area before reapplication of ACV. You can also take vitamins and drink some of the ACV before bed each night, although I honestly didn't do these things and still had very positive results, it definitely wouldn't hurt. Hope this helps :)
How to Tell a Partner
Posted by Advise Seeker (Olathe, Kansas) on 02/03/2013
Hi everyone firstly I think its great that people are so open and willing to share their stories about this issue. I know that when I first found out a month ago I freaked out to the point of seriously considering suicide but then I somehow stumbled across this site and it made me feel so much better especially when I tried the remedies and they worked. One thing that no one has shared yet is how to tell a current/future partner about genital warts I am really embarrassed and am unsure how to bring up the conversation any advice? Thanks.
BHT
Posted by Oscar (Syracuse, New York) on 08/15/2014
Dear Larry from USA and Columbia, This is great news. There was a previous poster here that reported the same results using BHT to treat genital warts. Genital warts are caused by a viral disease. Please do note that Larry kept it simple. Only used BHT and a multivitamin and mineral supplement. Genital warts are a miserable condition to have to live with as anyone can imagine. Thank you Larry for reporting into the EARTH CLINIC with these remarkable results. Keep taking the BHT. For MANY it works amazingly well if you keep the treatment simple....Oscar

I'm 25 yrs old. Three months back, I discovered a little pimple to my penis (near the bottom of pink head). I just used to clean it with water and few drops of dettol. But few days back I examined and found dat there had been few more grown on penis. by tracing the foreskin back, I could see few lil warts scattered at the bottom of penis head and 2 or 3 warts on the foreskin inside.
i was bit depressed to see them and had no idea... Wats dese?.... I never had a pimple on face or a scar on body.... It was just a hell.... The whole day I used to think abt dese ugly warts.... I just googled about the infections of genital areas and came to know dat I have GENITAL WARTS..... got more information on dese .
was completely depressed as it is caused by hpv..... Virus. I just kept on searching about its details and treatment..... I gave my whole three days just sitting at home and googling it. gone through every allopathic, homeopathic and home remedies.
i detail here few. Firstly I read on few sites dat this virus is not cureable but the warts are, sometimes dese warts go away untreated but sometimes requires treatment. They may reoccur. In some cases they havn't reoccured, some says dat they reoccured after 2 or 3 years and sometimes few months. some have complained dat they had been suffering from past 10 to 15 years but not removed till now.
i read somewhere dat this virus do not enter blood streams. the warts can be removed and the body can bacome free of virus within few months or a year by developing immunity in the body.
some of fellows here have tried ACV, tea tree oil, etc. And have provided good results. But with few scars or burning of sensitive skin. Few have said dat they have removed without any scars. thers no scientific proofs for dese all.
I have seen dat people dont go to doctor and feel ashamed of it. i too felt so, but i thought, i must consult a doctor first and then decide what to do. why should be i ashamed, ... its my body and i have to take care of it..... having sex is not bad.. its a very essential part of life.... but what i s bad is ignoring the safety... take precautions........... unknowingly we can acquire few diseases but we cant sit and get depressed from dem... standup and treat them
today i went to homeopathy doctor... he is 68 yrs old and i trust him. he has cured my asthma.... it took me around few (4 to 6)years to get rid of this alleregy.. today m absolutely fine and had no ashthma attack(it had been 7 to 8 years now). i just went to him and told him about genital warts. he used to see few cases daily regading genital warts. i queried him much. he told dat dese are cureable and our body can become completely rid of this virus. thers only cure in homeopathy. he put two drops of some medicine on my tongue and gave me few more medicines which are to be taken after 3 days regularly for next 15 days. a thuja lotion has been provided which to be applied twice a day. i asked him will dese warts go or when will i get rid of this virus completely. he replied dat within 15 days u will have no warts or continue for next more 15 days days. he said dese warts will be completely removed and the virus too will be kicked out of my body. he was 100% sure. at last he told dat till now all the cases of genital warts have been completely cured and no reoccurance.
while returning i was very happy, confident and i know dat i will kick out this virus from my body very soon.
so guys thers nothing to worry about. dont be shy. consult ur doctor. do not remove them with hands (u may increase the infection). warts can be cured and virus can be kicked out of our body completely.
will update my experiences very soon.

Yes Denise, I tried Papillex for HPV and it worked. I had three consecutive abnormal pap's followed by a colposcopy and I was scared. The doc booked me in for a LEEP procedure to get rid of the cervical dysplasia (CIN) lesions from HPV. I booked the appointment for 4 months later so I could try to get rid of it naturally for a short and intensive time frame. I used 1) papillex 2 caps twice a day 2) eliminated refined foods from my diet and 3) ate 8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. In 4 months when I went back for leep the HPV was gone. The doc was shocked and I've never been happier.
Carrot Juice

Hey all, genital warts are a symptom of HPV. You should definitly get checked out by your doctor. Now I had them as well, and I drank organic carrot juice. I dont remeber the name of it but it has 940% vitamin A. Which is extremely good for your skin. I drank about a half cup a day and in a couple of weeks, they were gone. Havent come back since. Make sure it's organic carrot juice, and 940% vitamin A. It worked for me. Good luck!
