Wart remedy for diabetics?

I have a small lump on my left thumb which may be a wart (although I've never had one before). Pharmacy say I must see GP as over the counter remedies not suitable for diabetics. Does anyone know of a remedy which is ok? Seems a bit trivial for a visit to GP.

Far eastern treatment focuses on boosting the immune function through the lung and spleen networks, which is accomplished through herbal therapy and a well-balanced diet of whole grains, nuts, seeds, organic proteins, cold-water fish, and fresh vegetables. Other remedies for warts include applying the juice of a calendula plant to the wart three to four times a day, applying aloe gel directly to the wart, and consuming an immunity broth of broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, asparagus, shiitake mushrooms, and miso. It is also recommended to practice qi gong for promoting circulation of both qi, or vital energy, and blood.

My northern european ancestors however used to sacrifice various farmyard animals and mix their blood with spittal in a bowl and apply that.

I think what this all means is that no one in the history of human kind has ever found a good cure and modern methods of direct brutality is an indication that lotions and potions don't work very well. Freezing them with CO2 and snapping them off, tieing them off with cotton and starving them of their blood supply or burning them off with a hot implement is as far as wart research has come.

More than likely your gp is your best bet anyways so he can diagnose what it is, often you'll find that the prescription meds are much stronger and more reliable at treating such problems than the over-the-counter meds in a pharmacy.
 
Warts are funny things. I've got rid of a couple with an old wives tale remedy.

The remedy is to rub the wart with some bacon, bury it in the garden and as you are doing so, say these words - 'as this bacon rots, so will my wart go'.

Worked for both a wart and verrucas. Probably co-incidence :D

Sounds more like something out of Hogwarts to me.
 
The podiatry department told me to stick duct tape on my verrucas but due to position of them I've not tried it as I thought it would be uncomfortable. May try this with my thumb though thanks

Hi Denise,

I work for a television production company called Outline. We are casting for a second series of our health programme that is currently on Channel 4. The series offers a platform for incredible home remedies like this one. I would love to chat to you further about it if you're interested in finding out more.

Please drop me an email is interested in chatting further on [email protected].

Thanks and apologies for posting without any remedy of my own.

All the best,

Sam
