Genital warts
Hi. I recently discovered I have genital warts about a month ago. There are several very small ones, mostly arranged in a group. Upon research on the internet I decided to try to stick to a natural course for dealing with them, attempting to raise my immune system in order to overcome and, hopefully, suppress them. I also been applying apple cider vinegar directly to them, which seems to be having an effect, and sometimes a little bit of garlic from the liguid gelcaps, as it is supposed to be effective against viruses and I wanted to prevent any potential local spreading. My question is, what is an appropriate mix of herbal medication to take internally? I have been taking several garlic gelcaps each day, as that seems to be the best that I've come across in research. I have also been taking 1-2 Echinacea pills each day, as well as 1 Goldenseal in the hopes of increasing the effects of the others 'in vivo'. But now I'm starting to wonder if this is too much on my immune system, since an overload can sometimes make it 'crash', and also since viruses can sometimes adapt to certain remedies. Oh, and I've also been taking ColdEeze (zinc coughdrops) every now and then because they have always helped me with previous colds and viruses really well. Any sugeestions will be helpful. Thanks.hopefull on 2007-05-12
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
There is nothing like overloading of immune system.
Its perfectly all right.
Take Thuja 200 : 5 drops weekly for 4 weeks and report.

So then am I ok to take all of those other pills, or do I need to take it easy? I've recently cut back the past few days to just the garlic pills just to be safe.

Hello there, I discovered that I have genital warts two months ago. I am in India right now for many months, so I did not go to the doctor. At the chemist they gave me homeopathic remedies (creams, tablets, and the little balls), which I now use for 3 weeks. There is no change at all! I have also tried coconut vinegar, which for a little while made some difference, but after starting the homeopathic remedies I stopped using vinegar. Today I decided to go back to the vinegar treatment, but am also continuing taking the remedies. I did not dare to tell my boyfriend what is happening with me, because I am worried what he would think about it. I try to keep away from sex though. My question is, why the remedies not help? They all have thuja in them, although they are not the 'Thuja 200' remedies. I also take vitamin C & E now. Is there any chance to get rid of the warts as quickly as possible? They are all around my labia, and makes me feel horrified! Thanks for replies.

1. Describe your main suffering?
I have genital warts along my labia, quiet a few in groups. I also have a weird looking one, which actually started off as a scar or something like that. That was the first thing appearing, then the warts followed. The warts are cauliflower like dark pink growings. They can be very itchy at times.
2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?
Occasional heat rush under armpit, sometime bloating after certain meals.
3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
In the past year I lost 3 people who were very closed to me within 4 months. I also had to finish my last year at university that time, look for new accommodation, and similar stressful events. The loss of my boyfriend of 6 years was the worse of all. I also travelled to Peru last October for 2 months, where I ended up in hospital with some allergic reaction on my face, which was swollen, red, and very dry. This caused further distress. I was also robbed there twice, and I was robbed in India, too, so I lost almost everything valuable I had. Last summer I had terrible heat rush/hives after visiting a solarium (sunbed). I took antihistamine tablets and used corticosteroid creams for months. I now have a new boyfriend, and I cannot tell him about my GWs. We also have some emotional issues in our relationship I keep comparing him to my ex, who was a completely different person. Were currently working on this problem.
4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst?
I feel very low in mood, sometime feel trapped in my own misery. That time I feel impossible to get out of my depressed feelings. The GWs cause me massive stress as well, I think.
5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?
I was with a guy once in Peru, Im pretty sure he gave me the GWs. Unfortunately, we did not use condom. The first sign could have been some itching around the labia, and once I think I scratched it with my nail, soon after a scar sort of thing appeared. This is still there, and now looks like the warts around it, but the scar is raised. I have no idea what it is.
6. Which time of the day you are worst?
At night and morning the warts are quiet itchy.
7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same?
Vinegar seemed to help a little, but since taking the homeopathic remedies and cream it got worse, the warts are spreading.
8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?
Well could be stress and change of countries.
9. When do you feel better, during hot weather or cold weather, humid or dry weather?
I like dry hot weather, although I dont mind a little cooler climates.

As far as I remember I can get some headaches, or feel weird.

NO!
- Are you sensitive to external stimuli like smell, noise, light etc?
YES.
- Do you have any typical habit or gesture like nail biting, causeless

Sometimes I can weep without no reason, but rarely.
- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?
I feel they love me, but I can be distant, ie: dont call them, etc. I have expectations from my boyfriend, but I recognize that it is wrong.
Also, when I came to India he new all the long termers here, for they are good friends. So I met all of them, and I was really worried about what they might think of me, etc. This had major influence on my mood, almost as though I had to behave in a certain way all the time to make sure they liked me and accepted me as my boyfriends latest girlfriend.
11. What are your fears and do you dream of any situation repeatedly?
Not being liked (which never happens really, for people generally like me). I have slight paranoia since Im in India because the aforementioned situation. I tend to think that people nice to me, but gossip about me behind my back.
