Friday Favorites: Removing Warts with Duct Tape
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2024
- Duct tape beat out cryotherapy (freezing) and ten other treatments for removal of warts in a randomized, controlled, head-to-head trial. Why isn’t it standard practice?
This includes the first and second videos in a three-part series on duct tape for wart removal. Check out the last one: Which Type of Duct Tape Is Best for Wart Removal? (nutritionfacts.org/video/whic....
I never heard of using duct tape for warts until I was researching other dermatological remedies, like the ones found in Benzoyl Peroxide vs. Tea Tree Oil for Acne (nutritionfacts.org/video/benz..., Does Tea Tree Oil Work for Nail Fungus? (nutritionfacts.org/video/does..., and Benefits of Tea Tree Oil for Warts & Cold Sores (nutritionfacts.org/video/bene....

I love this channel!
so do I!
Me too. Helped me give up meat and oils.
The two warts on my leg that had been there for 40 years (with a few failed attempts to remove them) naturally fell off after about a year I converted to WFPB diet!
Probably because of the high fibre content.
What's that Hun?
@@RIForg vegetarian diet. Don't you have Google?
@@Ullimatelyno need to be cranky. have an oatmeal.
@@bellenesatan you sound more cranky than me. Get a life.
When I get warts they don't go away unless I do something. Depending where they are I scratch them off and if they don't leave I use Betadine.
My guess is that the duct tape keeps them moist and allow the immune system access to them. Most often warts seem to occur (for me) on relatively dry skin areas.
i need! that follow up!
Thank you
Apple cider vinegar + duct tape works better, I tried both on many warts. A good B12 level is very important against warts
I guess I need to get myself some duck tape. I tried cryofreezing a wart a couple months ago. It was sore for over a month, and it did nothing. My dermatologist scheduled a new appointment but I decided to skip the rest of the treatment, as I prefer to keep the wart as a pet, than experiencing that pain again.
Do it. Duck Tape works. See my comment above.
That was very eye opening. I actually thought the cryofreezing was normal too ...Thank you.
Silver Nitrate works well.
Tea tree oil worked for my daughter's planter's wart. It took almost a week, applied once a day, for a difference to be visible. After applying twice a day it was gone about a month latter.
Man, I’m jealous. That didn’t work for me and I’m sitting here in pain after a painful dermatologist procedure for it today after duct tape & multiple freezings failed too.
if you knew what a planter's wart was you would not say such silly nonsense....i nearly lost my foot to planter's warts as a child. Had my mother been stupid enough to put oil on it I would have become an invalid.
@@LGuetz Can you share how long you applied it and did you apply it twice daily? I think it would be useful to have more anecdotes to clarify the likely utility or lack thereof and so on.
Thank you❤, I used to get haemorrhoids iced, so that probably wasn't going to be gentle on the tissue either. I have learnt something new.
I removed a wart with a gauze soaked in Povidone Iodine, then Duct Taped over top of it. It took about 3 weeks, but the wart is gone and never came back.
Iodine is my go to for any skin problems.
I've used it. It was very slow. Yes, it worked.
Castor oil applied externally,
is said to help with nipples, is said to help with arthritis pain, is said to help with hair growth, is said to remove small fine lines, so it's practically like a miracle cure, can you please look up whether there are any studies on this?
Perhaps applying greater celandine milky sap below the duct tape would make it even more effective.
Next??? Doc I need to know now! I was just about ready to go find some duct tape in my home. Can u post pt 2 soon please?? 😩 🙏🏽
the link to the final part is in the description above..........good luck!
I had a wart
On my face for 3or 4 years , heard about the duct tape , tried it & the wart went
All dry and peeled off !
I used superglue, it’ll come off after a few days, reapply if wart is still present, until it’s gone it takes a few weeks tops, depending on size of course. Top tip, don’t try to spread it with your finger 😂😂
More suspense than a Marvel movie.
I’ve tried duct tape many times and can’t get it to stay on with a plantar wart foot placement, even with multiple pieces crossing. It’s too hot here to wear socks all the time and they still need to come off after exercise and stuff, which grabs the tape with it! I’ve tried cryotherapy in doctors’ offices 3-4 times now and it’s always failed, plus costs a lot. Tea tree twice a a day for a long time didn’t work either. Today, coincidentally, I had it injected to numb, then frozen (again), carved up, and injected with immune activator. Sure hope that works because I’m in lots of pain now and over it. The video mostly talks about warts in children but I think I’ve had this guy 24 years!
Schon mal mit Secundenkleber probiert?
Use a Fabric Band-Aid on top of it (perpendicular). They stick better than the Duck Tape. (See my comment above)
I wonder would duct tape also work for big sunspots or precancerous lesions, which used is used by cryotherapy 🥰
com tradução em português....por favor 👐🙏🙏🙏😊
While the title calls it "Duct Tape", I used the original gray "Duck Tape." The Original Duck Tape (official brand) worked in a couple weeks without any discomfort. To keep the Duck Tape on, I cut a small 2 x 0.5 inch strip of Duck Tape and put a Fabric Band-Aid on it to help keep it in place.
My dermatologist excised the skin above the wart (she sliced off skin layers with a razor), and then the plantar wart cleared up even faster. I didn't want to cryofreeze my foot because I run and walk regularly.
After a week of Duck Tape, the wart fell out leaving a white crater. I kept it up for a few days after that.
Great idea on the bandaid pairing with duct tape
I usually just a wipe down with an alcohol pad and then slice it off with a scalpel. Cover with bandage and keep clean and good to go.
ok, I have a small wart that appeared on the top of my right hand below my index finger knuckle...which is ugly and annoying....so I'm going to try this; however, the only "Duct" tape I have laying around my house is "T-Rex" tape...now, will this work? I realize its not "Duck" tape (the most popular or perhaps the original "Duct" tape), but I'm going to give it a go and report back in a week to let you know the results, if any.............so fun!
Superglue works as well and you barley notice it.
Don’t try to spread it it with your finger though😂😂
@@contact2001 hey thanx....thats a good idea.....as I recall the times I've gotten super glue on my skin by accident and it simply kills it and peels off later.....if the TREX tape doesn't work I will give that a go....and yeah, won't be spreading it with my fingers like you say LOL!
I had a wart growing on my pinky. As time goes by it got bigger and bigger and started to be painful. I bought a wart-kill lotion but never wanted to use it because it can cause a lot of pain killing it that way too. So I just procrastinated. Anyway, for some reason I started to get into drinking smoothies daily. Just a combination of parsley, carrots, a bit of walnuts and soy milk was basically what I used.
Oblivious to me, after a couple if months, I didn't realize that the wart on my pinky had completely disappeared. No scars at all. It's as if I had never had a wart on that pinky, to begin with. I suddenly realized how a simple green smoothie was so powerful helping my immune system remove the wart.
Imagine what this same smoothie would do to cancer also. But that said, I was already a long-time vegan but I wasn't into healthy eating. Buy that smoothie regime somehow perfected my vegan diet to enhance my immune system to the point of detecting the wart on my pinky and imperceptibly removing it without my awareness.
Your smoothie didn't cure your wart. As he clearly stated 2/3rds of ALL warts disappear on their own.
@@EricS-uf9mv You didn't read what I said carefully. I said my wart was growing bigger and bigger. That is not what you would call " disappear on its own". It was not until I started the smoothies that after a while it completely disappeared.
@@quantumchang4410 I DID read what you wrote. The TWO YEAR study showed 66.67% of ALL warts, that's warts GROWING or not, disappear on their own. What you are doing is NOT scientific. You are doing is connecting one random event to another random event/action through hindsight. You are employing Confirmation Bias. You had something "bad".. a wart. You did something "good"... drink healthy daily smoothies. One day your wart disappeared on its own b/c your body's immune system suppressed or cleared the virus b/c it **WAS** growing and was inflamed... WHICH ITSELF was the reason your body's immune system kicked into high gear and finally "NOTICED" the wart growing and decided to attack it. It wasn't the smoothie. You think it was the smoothie AFTER THE FACT b/c your brain is like Wart=Bad; Unhealthy Diet=Bad; Smoothie=Good; NOW my diet is healthy=Good! .... then randomly notices the wart disappeared and also thinks this smoothie can "probably cure cancer too!" Dude. Just listen to yourself.
@@quantumchang4410 I read EXACT what you wrote. YOU are the one not understanding the information provided. The 2-yr study showed 66.67% of ALL warts, that's both GROWING and existing warts, simply disappeared ON THEIR OWN during the study window. What you are doing is NOT scientific. You are linking one random event to another random event/action through HINDSIGHT because you WANT to believe healthy actions always result in "good" outcomes. This is called Confirmation Bias. In reality the wart disappearing in the months & months & MONTHS AFTER you started drinking smoothies is simply coincidence. In fact the likely reason for your wart disappearing is BECAUSE it was inflamed & GROWING! Inflammation is a signal to the body's immune system! Your wart disappeared bc the wart drew attention to itself and your body "woke up" and attacked the area, clearing the virus. It's the same as the info provided in the video... introducing a foreign body into the wart, or an irritant like cryo-therapy/acid/duct-tape to the wart area causes inflammation which wakes up the body and directs it to the problem area.
But instead, you are doing this in your head...
Wart=Bad; Unhealthy Diet=Bad; but NOW... Smoothie=Good; Healthier Diet=Good; and THEN you just happen to notice your wart cleared on its own... But no, in your head you now attempt to link the two random events bc of CONFIRMATION BIAS! You believe healthy eating cures all disease so ofc the smoothie cured your wart. How do I know 'you believe' healthy eating cures all disease? Because you literally believe your smoothie can probably "cure cancer"!! Dude, really? You prob should to spend some time learning about evidenced based research, and honestly just about evidence based thinking. Spend more time listening & learning about the scientific method and how it differs from anecdote & bias. btw I'm glad your wart is gone. But it wasn't the smoothie.
❤❤❤❤
freezing left a permanent scar and a hard lump on the ball of my foot. I currently have about 25 on each foot so I'll probably have to go to Europe where they use a strange thing called "science" (not sure about spelling) to get rid of all of them.
Someone else used Tea Tree on their kids for a month and it solved it. Have you tried that? :)
I used superglue, it worked. Don’t try to spread it with your finger😂😂
As someone who accidentally superglued my fingers by accident yesterday. I second that.
Science?Who cares for their "Safe and effective" therapies?
What do you do? Just tape the duct tape on top of the wart?
pretty much 3:04
it seems to be all what is needed.
search in the channel "Which Type of Duct Tape Is Best for Wart Removal?" , the type is important.
@@Daclaem they include the link to this in the above description.......
@@trevorregay9283 better safe than sorry , you know
Silver nitrate works well.
I had a wart on my finger when I was young (under 10 I think) and I removed it by chewing it off (more than once) till it stopped growing back.
Breast cancer is less common in men than women. Are there any studies out there that look into the fact that women typically shave their arm pits? Could deoderant be the root cause of breast cancer by blocking the bodies ability to sweat out toxins from the lymphatic system node near the armpit? Affecting women more than men due to shaving?
make it raw -> dab on some ACV -> put tape on it. boom
Rub with garlic they drop off the next day
I had to tape garlic to my wart for a few days, then still had to dig out the tiny black "stem" after the garlic softened the wart. But, it never came back after that. 😅
Wow, hadn’t heard that one!
This might sound crazy but hear me out: what if we take the liquid nitrogen-wart money and, you'll say I'm nuts, but I say put it into something like curing cancer or making those wart-popping doctors learn to help somebody with a more complicated problem instead?
And, this may seem totally off the charts, but maybe just put the wart-laser money into developing new cures? Or, God forbid, invest it into making medicare more affordable. But that would be totally crazy to the leaders of the medical community, am I right?
Well, the wart popping doctors fall under dermatologists and they do deal with skin cancer and other nasty skin diseases so they're not just popping warts.
@@TheVidgamejunkie no disrespect to dermatologists. But do we need lasers, cryogenic procedures and the time and expertise of a doctor, where duct tape would suffice?
I cut mine off with a cut throat razor, then applied salacylic acid to kill the root. Be careful folks, cut throat razors are very very sharp.
Apple
Cider
Vinegar.
Sir excuse me let me tell you something you know you speak so so fast and make lots of people who hear you get mad for me I couldn't complete the video .
You can change the video speed in the settings.
Thanks doc, you're ruining feet for me
how to waste people's time with no usefull info unless you fall for the cliffhanger garbage used by con-artists. This channel has devolved in 10% of videos actually having value.
Who are you talking about? 2012 study Vegetarians displayed elevated prevalence rates for depressive disorders, anxiety disorders and somatoform disorders. Due to the matching procedure, the findings cannot be explained by socio-demographic characteristics of vegetarians (e.g. higher rates of females, predominant residency in urban areas, high proportion of singles). The analysis of the respective ages at adoption of a vegetarian diet and onset of a mental disorder showed that the adoption of the vegetarian diet tends to follow the onset of mental disorders.
I wait on this guy regularly at Outback Steakhouse and he's not just eating a salad. He wears dark glasses and a hat but I know it's him as soon as he speaks.
And when you waited on me your hand was all messed up and I said do you have warts? And you said, "no, just what's on the menu."
Your prior comments on this channel (all 100+ of them, which are publicly visible on mobile RUclips, btw) indicate that you either have some serious work ethic or that you're talking out of your ass. I'm not sure I want to follow whatever diet you're doing, Jack, because it's clearly affecting your brain function. 😂
I think that a better therapy already exists. a vegan diet. nothing thrives on a vegan diet.
Carnivore rocks.
yeah, dude, meat heals! 👍
Enjoy your heart disease
Boring useless topic.
