Well, after being diagnosed with GW last week I was referred to a gyno and it was an awful experience. 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 the store 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!!!

Christy,

Happy to know this place made a difference for you. it did for me, big time.

Not sure what size cotton balls you are using but the regualer ones covered a wider area then needed for me. I found that using the tips of cotton swabs works better as it leavs the other parts of the "healthy skin intact. it makes the treatment more specific and the whole area heals faster.

Just my 2 cents...

Keep us posted and hang in there, personally I know how NOT easy it is to keep this "secret".

ACV Treatment Cont.

Well it's been 5 days since I first started treatment and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with how things are going. The three day miracle that I was hoping for didn't exactly come true, but I am well on my way!! I'm choosing to do the slowly but surely method of things instead of ripping my skin apart trying to get rid of these things overnight. The past few days I did a couple 'spot treatments' at the reccommendation of Mr. E (THANK YOU!!) using cotton swab tips and ACV. I left them in place for about an hour. A couple times I felt like I could pass out from the burning/stinging, but I stuck it out. I was pretty tender today so I chose to forego much ACV - just on one spot that creeped up, but it's tiny and I think that should be gone soon. I did have some skin that got a little burned right outside of my vaginal opening so I have been spot treating it with A&D ointment and it's feeling way better.

I've also been bathing lots in warm water and then keeping the entire area dry and clean with hydrogen peroxide. I've also been taking a shot of ACV in a glass of water in the mornings (tastes like hell, but whatever) as well as garlic and vitamin e tablets in addition to the multivitamin that I always take. I'm also really watching my diet and exercising everyday. I did so some Vitamin E treatments yesterday but really kept it simple today with just a little ACV because, again, I don't want to do any real damage! I will probably do another round of ACV maybe tomorrow or the following day.

I'm worried about internal warts at this point. Has anyone tried douching with ACV? I've never douched because as it's said not to be such a good thing, but I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea all things considered. Ladies - let me know if you've done this and how you went about it and what your results were! THANKS ALL!! I'll be back to report in a few days!

i was actually considering soaking a tampon with ACV to get further up the canal... but i'm not sure if that would do more damage than necessary. have you heard of anyone doing this, either successfully or not?
thanks!

I also thought about using a tampon soaked in ACV but I was afraid it would destory all the "good" bacteria too or get raw in there and how in the world would you get an ointment to treat it up there good? I was wanting the ones gone on the inside gone so Bad though that I decided to try douching with it. So I mixed about 2 parts distilled water with about 1 part vinager. That was last night and this morning when I checked alot of dead white nasty looking skin came out and Im just hoping I havent hurt myself and thats just the warts eating away. Im new to all this and only started the ACV treatments yesterday but I am really hopeful that its gonna work out. When I put the ACV on the outside for a couple of hours yesterday the tips was a little white but not much else had changed so I Soaked cotton balls in tea tree oil that I had picked up at the pharmacy with my many other supplies. Anyway, I put the soaked cotton balls on the area of clusters and covered it wiyh gauze and taped it all down. I left it on for about four hours and when I started feeling really raw I took it off and lots was white then when I got up this morning all kinds of white stuff was coming off my "butterfly" At first I thought it was the ointment I had put on but then I realized it was dead skin off the warts. I took a bath and cleand the area and put more tea tree oil on but I plan to switch out tonight with ACV cause I really dont know which one is working but im just glad SOMETHING is working, But if anyone has tried the tampon soaked in ACV PLEASE let me know the results. THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT POSTED ON THIS SITE ITS REALLY TOOK A LOAD OFF MY MIND AND NOW I DONT FEEL SO ALONE!
