Q. I have a cure for warts. As crazy as it sounds, it absolutely works. Rub the wart on the yellow exterior of a banana skin several times a day.

I had a wart on my index finger and after trying various medications, I heard about this on the radio. I thought, “What can it hurt?” Sure enough, the wart disappeared, never to return.

A. This is a variation on a wart remedy we’ve heard before. The one we’ve encountered several times calls for a piece of banana peel to be taped to the wart, with the fleshy white inside of the skin in contact with the wart. The peel is to be applied overnight and left off during the day.

I had a growth on my toe. It kept getting bigger. I was given a topical medication,on the instructions it said "do not get on surrounding skin".
So I put my foot on top of commode to apply it. While doing so some dripped on commode lid....ate away layers on lid!

I was told if this topical did not take care of the problem, the toe would have to be cut off. Which topical did not take care of it. I had an old man tell me,"wrap bacon fat around it & tape it on toe,put a sock on it overnite", do this for 3 night's at least.It not only removed it,there's not even a scar!! Just plain old Bacon Fat !!

This made me remember that my Mom always told me to put a piece of banana against any canker sore that I got in my mouth. It hurts for a while, but works really well, cures the sore in two days or less. There must be something curative there.
