I
had flat warts all over the back of my right hand (too many to count) and they
just gave people the heebee geebees. Well I got on the internet and read about
an extreme case in indonesia and they call him the tree man cuz the warts on his
feet look like tree roots (yikes)! Amazingly his doctors were very optimistic
that they could cure him with vitamin A supplements. Never heard about vitamin
A curing warts before so I gave it a try. First I applied eucalyptus oil followed
by castor oil and popped a vitamin A pill twice a day. my hand was completely
clear in two weeks. Worked like a charm on my friend's plantar warts too (she
hugged me today!) - James Lehr, October 20, 2008
Wart
Removal - Acid and Clorox
My son woke up one morning and had about 50 warts all over. We tried to use the
acid from the doctor. It was really painful. After using it on about 20
of them he couldn't take it. He was 7 yrs old. The doctor thought that cutting
50 warts out would be too traumatizing. I met an old man he said his mother put
him in the bathtub with 2 cups of Clorox and they all went away. So I tried
it. Sure enough they all went away and never came back. - Suzanne,

Wart
Removal - Sesame Oil
Apply
warm SESAME oil once daily until it's gone. I can't exactly remember but it seems
it took only 3 days or less than a week. You'll be surprised, won't even leave
a scar. Hope it'll work on you. - Alice Santiago, July 31, 2006
Potato
Skin Wart Removal
My
Grandma used to say that rubbing a wart with a fresh cut potato peel each day
for fifteen days gets rid of them. She may have been right as doctors use podafylyn
(sp?), an acid made from potato skin extract. - PJ

Wart
Removal - Coal Oil
I was reading the
article on "Warts," when I came across a mention of coal oil. I have been trying
to find some, for many years now, to no avail. It is the best thing for cuts that
I've ever used. ASAP, put the cut in the coal oil, it coagulates the blood, almost,
immediately, doesn't sting, and rarely will even get sore. Is there is a possibility
of obtaining any coal oil, anywhere? ... -
Judy, February 11, 2001 Dear Judy, Coal oil is the old name for kerosene or lamp oil. Hope this helps

Wart
Removal - Horse Hair and Wedding Band
In the NorthEast of England, our mothers and grandmothers used to say these two
methods worked well; (1) you pluck a hair from a horse's tail, tie it round the
wart and sleep on it overnight. The wart (or even elongated moles), just seems
to fall off within a week. (2) you rub your mother's (gold) wedding ring (wedding
band) over the wart several times and it is supposed to fall off soon afterwards.
Note - this is only supposed to work if your mother had/ has a happy marriage.
On a personal note, I think I remember as a kid, a wart falling off after the
horse's tail hair remedy. I remember vividly, my Mom, Dad, brother and I chasing
around a field fopr hours, trying to snatch the hair out of its tail. It eventually
succumbed to the offer of an apple! Hope this is helpful for your website. Cheerio
from England. - Rev'd

Old
Time Hillbilly Wart Removal
Read once that each culture had a magical method to remove warts and that they
all worked if the person using it believed in the method. Must have been something
in my past that made it work. -
