Anti-virals

Vitamins:

I have seen high doses of vitamins A and E listed as effective wart treatments. Warts are viral in origin. I have used both A and E to good effect and also had good results with high doses of other oil-based supplements (such as flax seed oil). My recollection is that the recommended dose of vitamin A for treating warts is 100,000 units per day for one month. This did not work for my son until we learned that he had CF and therefore needed 1 1/2 to 2 times the dose of vitamins as other people. At that time, I upped his wart treatment to 160,000 units per day for a month or 6 weeks and the warts he had suffered from for several years finally cleared up.

Enzymes:

The same digestive enzymes which are prescribed to aid digestion in CF patients are also effective as anti-virals, especially when taken on an empty stomach between meals. For additional information on enzymes and viral issues as well as non-prescription sources of enzymes, see Dana's View: Enzymes and supplements. I am not personally familiar with the sources she lists there but I am familiar with the solid advice she gives concerning biomedical issues in a public forum. Her site addresses autism spectrum disorders (ASD) but some of the same issues common in with ASD are very similar to issues found with CF. I have gotten a lot of valuable information for treating my issues from CF by hanging out on a list for treating autism using a biomedical approach.

Tea Tree Oil:

This is also listed as a treatment for warts. I cannot use it because I am allergic to it, so I have no additional information on it at this time.

Other:

There are commercial anti-viral protocols. One I have heard of but not used is called Virastop. I have also heard that olive leaf extract is both anti-viral and anti-bacterial, but I have no first-hand experience with it.
