When
I was about 10, I had several warts on my thigh. My mother taped a piece of lemon
with rind attached. It seems to me this lasted for about a week. Being impatient,
I remember peeking at it a lot. The warts started turning black and little by
little fell off. The lemon bit was probably changed daily; I don't recall. I did
not have any warts until recently ( I am now over 50) and intend to try this again.God Bless - JM Plisky, January 21, 2006
Now
that thanksgiving is over use the leftover cranberry and rub in on the
warts. Repeat every so often. You will see improvement after two weeks. It may
even go away. - John H, November 29, 2004
Boil
one whole garlic in water and drink one cup of it do this for fifteen days
and your warts will be gone. - Maria Garcia, July 12, 2005
Being
raised on a farm in rural Georgia by grand parents who were born in the late 1890’s
I was subjected to all kinds of country cures. The only doctor my grand parents
saw was an Herb Doctor by the name of Jeddy (from the mountains of North Carolina)
who made house calls every 2-3 months selling her potions. She claimed to be able
to cure every ailment or disease except for cancer. A fast and painless remedy
to remove warts was to rub a smooth stone taken from the branch (creek) over
the wart, place the stone in a box, wrap the box in paper, and place the box in
the fork of a road. The next passer-by who saw the box and opened it would then
receive a gift – your wart. My dad remembers his warts being removed on several
occasions by my grand-maw using this remedy. It’s worth a try. P.S. The old-timers
used newspaper or the Sears catalog to wrap their box in (when outhouse demand
was low). I suggest pretty wrapping paper, maybe even a bow or ribbon to entice
someone. - Wayne Dyer,

I'm
not sure exactly why this worked, it's not medical at all. But someone once suggested
to me that a wart would fall off if I stole a dish towel from someone and
then threw/left it in the woods. I tried this and after a week or two the wart
went away. - N.
