Remedy Description

For foot warts:



"Put duct tape over wart and wear for 6 days. Then remove the tape

soak the area in water, and then use a emmery board or pumice stone

to scrape the spot. Rapply tape the next morning. Continue for two

months untill the wart goes away



The duct tape irritates the warts which causes a immune system respones

that attacks the warts.



This apporach is non painful and is more effective then using liquid

nitrogen.



In a study at the Madigan Army Medical Center, near Tacoma Wash,

It began with 61 patients between the ages of 3 and 22, but only

51 patients completed the study.



Of the 26 patients treated with duct tape 85% got rid of their warts

compated with 60% of the 25 patients who received the freezing

treatment.



This study was reported in 10/2002 in the Archieves of Pediatrics

and Adolescent Medicine."
