An Idea for Healing Worts

I just ran into the following article excerpt that just may be helpful in solving your warts problem :-)
From Whole Earth Magazine, Winter 1997, Issue 91, p90, an article by Andrew Weil:
Stories about wart cures are told sometimes by doctors as examples of patients' gullibility. One doctor told me that he had a patient at a rural hospital in South Dakota who had warts all over his body. They had been burned off repeatedly and had always regrown multiply. Finally, on a whim one day, the doctor and a colleague told the guy that they had a new form of radiation that could make warts go away. They had him stand in a darkened X-ray room while they made the machine hum for thirty seconds. The next day the warts fell off all over his body and didn't grow back.
But this story was told as an example of how you can really put things over on patients, rather than seeing it as a marvelous example of how the body's healing machinery can be accessed through the level of belief. We don't take these things seriously in our medical teaching and research and practice because they don't fit our conceptions.

I have seen my girl friends wart slowly go away using tea tree oil every night before bed for about 4 months. First it got red and angry looking and even got bigger. Then it got crusty on top and a scab fell off every couple of days leaving it smaller but red. Now you cannot tell where on her calf it was.
I was able to get rid of 2 small wart/skin tags under my arm using a paste of yellow onion and salt 1:1. They dried up and fell off in about a week. Both methods take persistence and probably work by getting your body to focus its healing attention on the wart. Good luck.

Well my 7 year old daughter and 2 1/2 year old son are living proof of the power of the human mind to treat warts. I had read that the power of Grama's cure (peal a potatoe, rub it on the wart and bury the potatoe in the backyard) was one's belief in the cure. So I tried some visualization with my duaghter when she was about 7 and couldn't get rid of a couple of plantar warts. She visualized Smurfs (little blue cartoon characters for those not in the know) marching down her leg at night and digging out the warts. We did this exercise for about five nights and within a week the warts were gone.
Now I didn't really think this would work with a 2 1/2 year old (I'm not sure why I didn't think it would work). We changed the story a bit so that Cookie Monster was eating his warts. He had three very stuborn warts that had huge callouses. His doctor had cut the callouses away three times and we had tried various over the counter remeadies to no avail. Well Cookie Monster did the trick in about a week again.
Pick your own visualization and believe me - it does work.

Another wart saga...Just last week I noticed that the large and painful plantar's wart area on the bottom of my right food was completely gone. Then I realized that I hadn't felt any pain there in quite some time. All I can think is, meditation, release of deep-stored stress, healthy diet, intense circulation-moving and sweaty physical exercise, and regular steam room time (4-5 times a week). This was one of those deep wart infestations that I was avoiding taking to the allopath's for removal. I like happy resolutions. And if this happened on a visible part of my body, then what all else has disappeared inside...

Sorry...my lack of computer skills are showing with the number of times the last message was posted. Nice slip up though...."right food" rather than "right foot."...

Dear J.,
All allopathic medical conferences, that have a booth about warts, have mentioned self-hypnosis and suggestion as the most efffective way to get rid of warts---for at least 50 years.
When even this conservative philosophy has to admit that this is the most effective way to deal with warts, one should take it seriously. It worked in MY practice better than anything else.
Some people insisted that I burn them off. Once I had explained their options, if that is what they chose, I did it. I certainly made more money, and spent less time, burning off warts than sending them for self-hypnosis training.

Hi, RocketHealer Jim,
A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF SELF-HYPNOSIS. I swear I had not read this before I put my note about what the most effective way to treat warts is.
How do those who see this as an example of "gullibility" explain what happened? Did the gullibility cure the warts or did the person's activated self-healing power do it?

Isn't it interesting the response people had to this problem?
This phenomenon has been observed for millennia. Why has it taken so long for this to be the "standard of therapy" for this condition? It still in not.
Could it be because the AMA has been one of the most consistant scoffers about self-hypnosis (or really any form of self-healing) for a hundred years. How embarassing it must be for them to have to admit they were wrong all these years.
Also, one does not have to have a medical license to teach self-hypnosis. This is a terrible threat to the monopoly.

The dratted letter slip

Kyra,
I just had to chuckle when I read this post. It reminded me of my own letter slip. When my son was in the third grade, the area schools ran an author's competition. My son wrote an adorable story about a lost puppy. He did the rough draft, and I typed it for him. It was the first time I had ever typed. His story won in his category, and he got to go to a special awards party. His storybook was put on display with the other winning entries at our local library. When the the book was returned, I carefully packed it away with all his other school momentoes. Years passed, and my son was Freshman in college when we decided to move. That weekend the whole family came to help us pack, included my son's girlfriend and her brother. That's when his book was rediscovered. We decided to take a coffee break and read the winning story. It started out fine - boy got dog, took care of dog, played with dog, etc... That's when it happened. One day the boy went out to play with his friends and the dog couldn't go. The boy was so exited, he forgot to shut--Oh my gosh, I typed an "i" and not a "u". I couldn't believe it. This book had made it through three stages of competition, won a prize, and was on display for others to read! Now in our family, it is not uncommon to hear the phrase, "Read any good books lately." It never fails to get a chuckle. After all, Mom typed a naughty word.
It is so easy for personnel to become personal, and forts become fa.......you get my meaning. For me, it is often the little slips that give the most lasting chuckles.
LOL Kimberly
