tea tree oil

I had one gw and it was removed with acid at the doctors office - but I'm curious if I can use tea tree oil as an precautionary device to help prevent further occurances? also, can anyone tell me the stages of acid treatment? What should happen?

No way to prevent occurances

12/8/2004 9:18:17 AM -
hpv can cause cancer

12/8/2004 10:22:53 AM -
to the poster above you are a fucking
moron. Yes tree oil helps kill and
get you on the road to clearance. GW
does not cause cancer you dump fuck

12/8/2004 10:58:45 AM -
from everything I've read - hpv is
linked to cervical cancer - but if
caught early enough your chances are
better - that wasn't the question anyway.

12/8/2004 6:57:45 PM -
The strains that cause 90% of Genital
Warts are virtually never found in
cervical cancer.

12/9/2004 1:31:31 PM -
listen people, gw and hpv are linked
to cervical, penile, anal, rectal,
vulvar, vaginal, and oropharynx
cancers NOT just cervical, its just
the most common on the cervix.

12/9/2004 6:04:10 PM -
According to the ARHP
(www.arhp.org): "Low-risk HPV types
(6, 11, 42, 43, 44) are virtually
never found in cancers." Planned
Parenthood says: "In more than 90
percent of cases, they [GW] are caused
by types 6 and 11" Therefore if you
have GW the odds are over 90% that you
don't have anything to worry about.

"Cervical cancer can be prevented if a
female gets a Pap smear at regular
intervals. This way, if abnormal cell
changes are found, it can be monitored
and / or treated before" from
http://www.ashastd.org/stdfaqs/hpv.html

12/9/2004 8:14:33 PM -
from above - left out a line

before progressing to cervical cancer."

the problem is someone will see
visible warts and think, oh i have a
low risk so i have nothing to worry
about. BUT, you could have contracted
a low and a high risk at the same
time, most ppl have more than one
strain, so even if you have visible
warts, you need to monitor your
health. oh yeah, and visible warts
CAN also be caused by hpv 16 and 18
which are both linked to ALL of the
cancers i listed above. just be
careful and go to a dr if you have
warts.

12/9/2004 9:57:37 PM -
from person above the last one. Yes, go
to the doc. monitor your health, but
blanket statements don't help anyone.
The ? wasn't about cancer - it was about
treatment and reoccurrence. How to help
your body and your disease. I
understand you want to tell people this,
how about post a personal experience
that says "HPV and Cancer" and list all
the fact you know and where you got them.

12/9/2004 10:03:39 PM -
To the first comment, another blanket
statement, "It can be useful to help
patients understand that it is
counterproductive to attempt to assess
blame for their current situation.
Rather, attempt to empower patients with
a sense of hope by exploring behavior
modification that can potentially
improve their immune status. This could
include eating healthy, limiting alcohol
consumption, getting enough rest,
exercising, and, most importantly,
smoking cessation." From www.arhp.org

12/9/2004 11:17:09 PM -
Right on!

12/11/2004 4:53:54 PM -
you forgot to mention one other
behavior modification, they should
also re-examine their sex life and how
they go about it. this includes
trying to limit the number of partners
one has, always using protection to
help yourself and the other person,
and always getting tested (both
partners) b-4 a new sexual encounter.
this can lower your likelyhood of
catching something else.

12/11/2004 5:31:46 PM -
i almost forgot to mention, it also
includes informing all future partners
of your std. and since there is such
a debate about whether hpv is a life
long disease or not (it has been
proven both ways, some ppl will clear,
some never clear and can always pass
it) it is important to inform. there
have been cases where ppl sued over
getting an std from someone, esp. a
lifelong disease and they win.

12/12/2004 10:22:35 AM -
I disagree with the above statement.
It has not been shown that people who
don't clear it can always pass it on.
It just means that they are
susceptible for it to return in the
future when their immune system is
compromised. I would like to see a
successful lawsuit for HPV considering
you can't prove when it was acquired
considering that 95% of those infected
will never know.

12/12/2004 10:23:24 AM - same as above
And that many reputable sites put the
lifetime liklihood of infection with
HPV in the 75% to 90% range.

12/12/2004 10:46:05 AM -
Can you direct me to where you found
that statistic? I have not been to a
site that gives statistics on this
except arhp, which says 10-20% of
patients either remain in active disease
expression, or "recur" after a
lesion-free interval. Although it is
unknown if anyone actually clears the
virus, ppl can go into "sustained
clinical remission." It is unclear if
latent HPV should is contagious.

12/12/2004 4:15:18 PM -
Sure, there are plenty of links at
http://www.hpvforum.com. The CDC
pretty much assimilates all of the
various studies in its reporting, the
2004 CDC report to congress is a great
read on HPV. I would start there.

12/12/2004 5:57:50 PM -
there actually was a successful
lawsuit with a woman and her cheating
husband who gave her hpv and she did
win thank you very much! and if they
have a break out, what makes you think
they cant pass it to others? if they
still have the virus and they get a
breakout, they can pass to others and
since you can have a breakout and not
know about it (i.e. high risk strains)
thats why i say you should inform.

12/12/2004 6:50:15 PM - repeat comment
just because it says your lifetime
likeihood of getting hpv is 75 to 90%
that doesn't mean the likeihood of
having lifetime hpv is 75 to 90%

12/12/2004 6:52:21 PM - same as above
sorry for the spelling error.

12/13/2004 7:55:01 AM -
Exactly, becuase over 92% clear it in
2 years. If everyone that got HPV had
it for life, then who would care?
That means we are mostly (75% to 90%
of us anyway) forever infected and
always potentially contagious.

12/13/2004 1:43:52 PM -
I think the thing here is around 90% of
the people never have further breakouts
- and "clear" the virus. Like you clear
chicken pox, warts on your hands, and
the flu.

12/13/2004 6:40:58 PM -
I read that lawsuit your talking about
and it involves more than just HPV...

12/13/2004 11:08:00 PM -
the thing is, not having further
breakouts doesnt mean you have cleared
the virus. for instance, no one
clears chicken pox. the virus remains
in your body for life though most
never have another problem with it and
it cant be detected by conventional
means. but then, you get a lowered
immune system and it springs back up
and causes shingles. most ppl that
get shingles get it 30-40 yrs after
having chicken pox. that means the
virus was at such low levels...

12/13/2004 11:10:08 PM - same as above
that they couldnt detect it for all
those years and then *BOOM* here it is
again to rear its ugly little head.
if they know that the virus is never
cleared and it causes shingles, but
they cant detect the virus b-4 a
shingles outbreak, what makes you
think that you are cleared of hpv b/c
they cant detect it?

12/13/2004 11:27:28 PM -
Exactly, it is possible that it can
happen but it that is only the case
for a small segment of the population
and it is not contagious in between.
Sure its possible that your HPV might
come back, but why sit around and
dwell on it, especially when 70% to
90% of those around you are in the
same boat.

Tea Tree Oil may help you to prevent
warts , there are many people saying
that they had good experience treating
warts with TTO. It may kill the virus,
at least at skin level.
Hope it helps,
K.

12/21/2004 4:59:07 AM -
i wonder if tea tree oil works because
it dries out the skin a lot... reading
about hpv they talk about warm moist
places which is odd because i know that
is ideal for bacteria but viruses i
thot were more diverse in
their "preferred" environs.

12/21/2004 6:17:07 AM -
it is possible, viruses are more
resiliant than bacteria and not all
viruses prefer a moist environment, its
just hpv can thrive better there. but
getting rid of warts doesnt mean the
virus is gone, just the symptom of the
virus. hope this helps.
