What are some non-traditional HPV treatments?

Question

I have HPV and am dealing with a new outbreak of genital warts. This is not the first time this has happened, however it has been a while since the last outbreak.

I have used all the normal medical procedures in the past; cryo, acid, aldara and would like to know if there is a homeopathic or natural remedy that would work? I used one in the past with AMAZING results but cannot find that company any longer (it's been several years).

I would rather no use the medical treatments d/t the amount of discomfort and pain involved with those treatments. The natural remedy I used before was completely pain free.

Just wondering if anyone knows of natural remedy that works.

Answer 1

the only med i know of is valtrex by prescription only for this and i dont see how that can be painful as far as having HPV if you are bothered by the treatments of getting rid of it have you considered a hystrectomy? sorry i dont know of any natural treatments except for medical ones to calm down the symptoms of your watrs and HPV

Answer 2

Hi, I've just replied to a similar question and so am going to post that response below, hope it helps you because I was in similar position to you, reluctant to use conventional treatments.

Some people say there is no home remedy for genital warts, maybe true if you are talking about eradicating the HPV virus, but not true in respect of getting rid of the actual wart.

I looked for alternatives to conventional treatments over a year ago and tried a couple of oils, advertised by companies with slick websites and testimonials, unfortunately they didn't work for me - maybe because I didn't pursue treatment for long enough or consistently enough, but I did use pretty much as advised for several weeks.

I did nothing about them until just over a month ago and decided to try apple cider vinegar (ACV), as a wart near the end of my penis was getting larger and I had 3 large warts on my anus ... apologies to the sensitive ones for terminology :-)

I decided to start with one of the largest ones on entrance to my butt, didn't want to take any risks up front without knowing what would happen!

Nothing much happened for 4 or 5 days, I would soak a small piece of cotton wool in ACV and then hold in place with a plaster, I did this each evening, removed it in the morning and then repeated again at night. The wart would be partially white in morning (ACV is essentially an acid, about 5% strength I think), after a few days the wart seemed a little more prominent and would sting when I applied ACV, then over next few days it started to shrink. After a couple of weeks it was much smaller, at this point it became almost painful applying ACV, but only for the initial 10 minutes or so, and it was tempting to stop. Then a few days later there was no trace left.

***Amazing ***

So I then tackled the other 2 smaller warts and the one up front! This is a 'work in progress' that is almost done, I just cut a small piece from a face cleanser pad and soak with ACV before putting at end of my penis and let the skin hold it in place ... if you're cut then guess it will be plaster time again! Again the results are truly amazing and I really didn't expect to get such a quick or satisfactory resolution to the problem. I obviously don't know about the long term, but guess that if I take more care about antioxidants/immune etc, then there is no reason for them to return ... a virus does not like a healthy oxygenated blood system. There is no scarring, the skin has just returned to normal.

Obviously if you try this out, be cautious as I was, make sure it is working for you. By the way I used the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar, in case this has any significance to the results, I would suggest using the same, or otherwise at least using an organic/quality ACV.

Your former cure was probably a case of the warts going into remission rather than going away. HPV is stubborn. If you keep getting it, you need to stop having sex with people who have it. Wear condoms - 2 is better - and wash thoroughly after sex. Be an adult and put up with the discomfort of real medical treatments.
