Desiccated Liver Offers Unique Approach to Eliminating Plantar Warts

Q. You had a question from a reader about plantar warts. From the age of 14, through about 30, I was plagued with them. Doctors used cryosurgery [freezing] and scraping, but the warts kept coming back and multiplying.

Finally, a doctor tried an alternate method. He said there was something in my immune system that was not fighting off this virus. He told me to go to the health food store for desiccated liver tablets. I took six daily while he treated my warts. He told me the tablets would not get rid of the warts, but would keep them from spreading while he treated them.

This worked for me! I haven’t had a wart in 20 years.

A. There is no research on this unusual approach to eradicating plantar warts. We heard about it decades ago, and it was old-fashioned even then. Thanks for the reminder of this nontoxic treatment.

Perhaps some day there willl be scientific data to explain why this worked for you and may well work for others.
