The People's Pharmacy® with Joe and Terry Graedon

My sisters boy, when he was in high school has a severe problem with planters warts on his foot and the doctor prescribed Tagamet in a a very large dose and it worked wonders for him. I do not know the exact amount but it was very large and the pharmacists questioned her about it.

My dermatologist prescribed me 800mg/day of Tagamet for a plantars wart and it worked! This was about 7 or 8 years ago. However, the last time I went to the Dr he wouldn't write me an Rx for it because he said it wasn't approved for that use or something to that effect.

I WAS FIGHTING PLANTARS WARTS FOR YEARS, TRIED EVERYTHING. FINALLY AGREED TO 800MG OF TAGAMET PER DAY. I'VE BEEN WART FREE FOR OVER TWO YEARS! MY NINE YEAR OLD NOW HAS A FEW, I JUST STARTED HER ON TAGAMET, 300MG A DAY. WART FREE FEET ARE WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Have had a raised ugly wart on the side of my hand for YEARS. Nothing the doctor or derma has prescribed worked. Neither anything in the drugstore, not the freeze stuff or the smelly stuff you put on with a wand. Have sliced it with a razor blade, with a pedicure file, anything for years but nothing worked. Then I found out about this alternative cure last week in a newspaper article. Purchased Tagemet yesterday AM, took a 200 mg tablet right away. Significant difference overnight! That's right, OVERNIGHT! Took another 200mg tablet this morning. (Almost) pain free and significant reduction. Can't wait to see what the next week brings.

My podiatrist had me take this for plantars warts on my foot in high school.

After having them cut, lasered, and frozen this worked. Haven't had them since. Over 12 yrs ago.

I suddenly got a bunch of warts near my fingernails and nothing worked untill Doctor gave me 800mg Tagamet and I took it once a day for 2 months and within a week of taking it they ALL disappeared, it was a miracle!!

I have been taking Cimetidine for about a week and have had AMAZING results!! I have had plantars warts COVERING my heel for about 10 years and nothing else has done anything before. They are already reduced to half in size! It is truly a miracle, I still cannot believe I will have a wart-free future to look forward to!

We finally gave Cimetidine to our 6 yr. old daughter. It's amazing! After months and months of visits to the derm., the warts on the back of her hand are gone. She had up to 40 big and tiny warts, they were starting to spread to her wrist and other hand. We'd treated them with everything! Finally 2 tsp. a day for 8 weeks and they just disappeared.

I have had dozens of unsightly warts on my back for years.  I tried Tagamet, two 200 mg tablets per day, and it has worked wonders in just a few weeks.

Although this is a little off-subject, I read with interest all the cures etc people suggest for warts and it brought to mind my personal story. I submit it as a matter of interest so make of it what you will.

When I was a boy of five living in rural England (c1942, evacuated from London), I had a sudden onset of warts covering the backs of both of my hands and fingers. The warts over my knuckles cracked and bled .

Several visits to various doctors did nothing to cure them, and over the months they got so bad and ugly I wouldn't leave the house.

Here's where it gets interesting...

One day, in frustration, my mother was relating my plight to the old lady who ran the village store. This woman had lived in the village for many years and suggested we visit the local "witch" as she has been known to cure such things.

By this time my mother was at her wits end and one evening, in desperation, took me to the witch's cottage.

After looking at my hands, she told my mother to wait a couple of days for the next full moon, give me a freshly laundered handkerchief with which I was to wipe the backs of both my hands.

My mother then was to walk into the woods where, in a communal picnic clearing, there was a well known tree stump with a concave top that held rain water. She was then to rinse the handkerchief in this water, return and have me wipe my hands with it again.

With my mother shaking her head in doubt, We did as the witch suggested and within three days my warts were gone and I haven't had one since!

I remember this as if it were yesterday. Strange.

I just had my first treatment for plantar warts ( 4 of them)
the Dr prescribed 2400mg of tagament a day. I am concerned about a large dose, but hopeful it will work.
