Q. Terry, “I have an embarrassing problem. I have warts on my hands. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them?” Rachel P., Milwaukee, WI A. Dear Rachel, A wart is caused by a virus. The proper way to eliminate them is to strengthen your immune system’s ability to kill this virus. I would recommend Calcium lactate (approximately 800 mg daily) along with a formula of very potent chemotyped plants oils that includes ravintsara, thyme, eucalyptus, and clove. Use two capsules, three times a day. Also, you need to strengthen the immune system. I recommend an immune building formula combining black currant, elderberry, zinc, selenium, and Lactobacillus sporogenes, and lactoferrin, used 3 times a day. In addition to supplementation, there are dietary changes that can help, like cutting out soft drinks, sweets, and refined sugars. These foods weaken the immune system and in fact may strengthen the virus that causes warts.
