| Question: | I keep getting warts. What can you suggest? |
| Answer: | Warts are c used by a virus, and 2ny recurrent infection may be a sign that you have a beleaguered immune system. Common warts, however, are notoriously difficult to get rid of. In order to strengthen your immunity, make sure you' re eating a healthy diet of fresh, unprocessed foods and avoiding sugar and alcohol. Deficiencies in vitamins A and C and zinc reduce the immune system' s strength, so take a good antioxidant or multivitamin. There are various recommendations for topical applications of natural substances: a thin slice of garlic, aloe vera gel and vitamin C cream (or a paste made from vitamin C powder). You can buy the latter two from your healthfood shop. Viruses have a hard time surviving in a vitamin C-rich environment, so I' d start with that one. |
