Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 oh, details, details...haha. Well, the documenting part I'm not equipped to do, i'm afraid. This is one of those 'folk remedies' that goes way back. I can't find a book ref for it at the moment, but i've encountered it in diverse contexts over the years. As you know, garlic is a powerful visuscide; the number of applications would depend on the severity of the infection I would suppose. Usually overnight for the garlic, less if it's found irritating. Could be repeated. The yoghurt or acidophilus capsule is of course to restore floral balance, though garlic has been reputed to selectively kill bad bacteria, etc. One can google HPV garlic and get several discussions, i'm sure. No time to check now. One can also apply Vitamin A in liquid form or cod liver oil.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Just read a great article in the Clinical Journal of Mycology (Feb 2007, Vol 2, Edition 1): Evaluation of Coriolus versicolor Supplementation in HPV Patients By Dr J Silva Couto Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Coriolus versicolor (biomass) supplementation in the evolution of cervical HPV lesions. Conclusions: The Coriolus supplementation showed a high degree of success, when campared to the control group patients. Negative cervical cytology in 91% of cases compared to 50% of the patients in the control group. HPV+ high risk negation in 100% of cases compared to 0% of patients in the control group. Coriolus versicolor Supplementation in CIN-1 (LSIL) HPV Infection: Mode of Action By Professor Amin Karmali, Dr Antonio Bugalho, Professor Tito H Fernandez Conclusion: The immunonutrition properties of Coriolus versicolor (biomass) supplementation should be considered as a clinical tool for patients over the age of 35 since supplementation at 3g per day provides the delivery of: 1. Protein bound pllysaccharide complexes (beta-glucans) responsible for immune enhancement. 2. Enzymes that a) preven oxidative stress i) laccase activity ii) superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity b) inhibit cell growth i) protease activity ii) pyronase activity c) are involved in detoxification process i) peroxidase activity ii) cytochrom P-450 activity another interesting article in the Journal is Coriolus versicolor Supplementation for Recurrent Herpes Simplex by Dr Andrew French, MD He reports success in treating Herpes using 1500mg in the morning and 1500mg with dinner for 1st two weeks and then 1500 mg in morning with breakfast for weeks 3-8. 3g/day is used to stop an attack that has already begun ad 1.5g/day used to prevent attacks.

No time to check now. Garlic is an old time folk remedy but not for HPV since the diagnosis of HPV has not been around so long. HPV is also not bacterial so I am not sure why the anti-bacterial effect of garlic is mentioned? I use garlic (10 cloves soaked in a cup of white vinegar - then 2 TBS of this vinegar in 3 cups of warm water and used as a douche) for bacterial infections such as Trichomonas or Haemophilus. Also HPV does not have a relationship with PH and flora balance in the vaginal tract so yogurt does not really apply to it. My own experience with HPV in the clinic is first and foremost that all strains of the virus are not alike and each case must be taken individually. Some strains are virulent and faster to develop. Others are slow and not very dangerous. I am not sure it is ever possible to actually get rid of HPV except through allopathic measures such as cone biopsy or laser. A colposcopy will show the strain and the extent of the invasion. If it is mild or non-invasive (i.e. in situ) and a non-virulent strain then we can advise our patients to use Chinese medicine to treat it and encourage them to avoid the very invasive cone biopsy etc. The important thing for the patients is that they come back with clean PAP smears and that they get regular paps. Though I am not sure we can get rid of HPV we can certainly make a big difference in keeping it from growing or being a problem. I think of HPV like a fungus growing on a tree. Without cutting it out, it is very hard to get rid of but, on a healthy tree it is not much of a problem unless the fungus is virulent and toxic. Determining the strain or watching the progress of the virus with PAPs is therefore essential. For treatment with Chinese medicine which is what we practice, the most most important thing is to do careful diagnosis and treat the person as opposed to the disease. Each person with HPV has a different tendency for imbalance to there is no specific internal treatment for HPV. Externally there are suppositories, douches etc. There would have to be some differential diagnosis here too though to differentiate heat, cold, damp, dry, stasis or deficiency - all of which can play a part. We don't want to simply clear heat and toxin in every patient. There are a variety of douches etc for different manifestations of cervical dysplasia that can be very helpful. Some of them incorporate western research regarding herbs that have a special effect against HPV (like E Zhu) but that is a longer discussion. I've had many patients diagnosed with mild or moderate HPV who I have treated according to their presentation without external herbs and they have come back with clean PAPs. I recommend another PAP in 3 months. If that is clean I recommend 6 months and then yearly. If the HPV shows up again then we do another round of treatment.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 There are many strains. Some are cancer-causing. Try here and scroll down to 'genital warts'. http://www.aidsinfonyc.org/hivplus/issue3/prevent/std.html This is a pretty descriptive site, with some natural treatments at the end. http://www.moondragon.org/obgyn/disorders/std/genitalwarts.html And here's one from Bastyr's website that cites a small study of garlic extracts (water and lipid) that showed success in resolution, in 1-2 weeks of use. http://www.bastyrcenter.org/content/view/851/ ann On Aug 25, 2007, at 11:00 AM, wrote: > Is HPV the same beastie that causes cervical cancer and intraductal > pappilomas of the breast ducts?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Sharon, Of course ongoing follow-up PAPs are in order here. And individualization. As with herpes, it remains a hypothetical whether HPV can be 'eliminated'. Yet it is a virus and as I mentioned in my brief post, garlic does have ability to kill viruses, as well as bacteria and funguses (though it seemed your fungus analogy was more metaphorical, though perhaps we shouldn't confuse it with the other nasty 'fungus'). So garlic still does not seem inappropriate to me. The application of flora was a measure to take in case one feels that killing some bacteria might change the pH adversely. Do you not feel garlic has antiviral activity? It has long been used as a remedy for warts; warts are caused by HPV. We now know there are several strains of HPV; perhaps more virulent ones might elude garlic's powers. Is that your hesitation? (aside from the issue of treatment individuation, on which we all agree) I mentioned this simple remedy b/c it seems to have worked in the past. Of course, general immune enhancement, however one conceives it in the particular patient, makes for a higher success rate - in elimination of warts, if there are any, and restoration of normal cervical cells. And of course, individual testimonials are not controlled trials. But i admit, it would be interesting to find a study where someone tested garlic (in its various forms) against one of the more noxious strains of HPV. ann On Aug 25, 2007, at 5:59 AM, sharon weizenbaum wrote: > (a wrote) Well, the documenting part I'm not equipped to do, i'm > afraid.

My experience with Garlic vaginally is only for the bacterial infections I mentioned in the last post. I have never had someone's flora upset by it though as it can be with western antibiotics. HPV can be quite serious and the presentation can vary widely so I would still tend to use differential diagnosis for the internal and external treatment as opposed to garlic. I am interested though as to whether folks have seen HPV disappear with the sole use of garlic. Anyone have experience with this?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 One of my patients in Maryland with HPV chose last year, with a nudge from her gynecologist, to have a hysterectomy.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Sharon, You mean you never used raw garlic to get rid of a cold? You haven't lived. You can put it on toast or pasta with butter or on top of a boiled egg or in peanut butter or between apple slices or just a very strong salad. Or ask the kitchen god. Since I have heard that garlic 'selectively' kills bugs, I wouldn't expect it to necessarily unbalance the flora, but since I can't be sure of everything, the flora capsule would be a good back-up. But there we are stuck between the devil and a hard place with that 'gold standard' of the single ingredient trial. How else can we isolate the effect? After all, maybe it was the apple. ;-) ann On Aug 26, 2007, at 8:57 AM, sharon weizenbaum wrote: > Sharon, > Of course ongoing follow-up PAPs are in order here.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am wondering about using coriolus for the genital wart strains of HPV? The study quoted here is tracking cervical lesions, although it seems to indicate that the patients in the study are also testing negative for HPV virus at the end of the study? Also the second study indicating positive results with HSV outbreaks seems to indicate that it might be useful for HPV wart outbreaks. Also wondering about any other (besides the garlic mentioned) topicals etc. for HPV genital warts (NOT the cervical dysplasia strains.) This is in addition to straight up TCM treatment by differential diagnosis etc. TIA Kirsten --- Re: Treating HPV Just read a great article in the Clinical Journal of Mycology (Feb 2007, Vol 2, Edition 1): Evaluation of Coriolus versicolor Supplementation in HPV Patients By Dr J Silva Couto Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Coriolus versicolor (biomass) supplementation in the evolution of cervical HPV lesions.
