   Love your show!

   I have few questions for you.

   1. What is your typical diet like? How much fruit etc?

   2. I’ve been 90% raw for about 2 months and I have been experiencing hunger after consuming big green smoothies and big salads. Some people have suggested I cut out fruit others say increase fruit. I always put hemp protein in my green smoothies, but this doesn’t seem to help with feeling hungry afterwards.

   3. Have you noticed you need less food after transitioning to a mostly raw diet?

   Thanks,
   Linzi

   Kevin, I did the duct tape idea, I was very faithfull to it I left it on constantly for about two months. I was so elated when they were gone after I took off the tape. But I also have changed my diet a whole lot too.

   Hello! Thanks for all the great info you send!

   Yesterday marked 2 months of eating raw. Not bad for a 52 year-old overweight grandmother of 13. (I had a few days of not eating raw this last month because of moving and helping my daughter move, and it was, for me at that time, too much.) (And I have lost 17 lbs. in two months!)

   But I did want to say I had a wart on my finger, and after about a month of 100% raw, it went away. The spot is still there, but no wart. My SIL lost his wart drinking Noni juice and eating a “regular” diet.

   Dr. Scholl’s “freeze-away” treatment worked for my brother’s warts in around five weeks. Also, I’ve heard that one of the most important things you can do to get rid of warts is to keep them as dry as possible.

   hi kevin, i have nothing on the wart question, but i do have a question. i just found out i have shingles. i have a pretty good diet. i was under a little stress but, not to the point of this. i also was traveling lately. the doctor put me on an anti-viral med. is there anything you know to do that is more natural? or to do after it has cleared up? im not in any pain and they haven’t spread. thanks kevin

   I’ve never had but Victoria Boutenko lost a wart from childhood by drinking green smoothies.

   I have been taking NCD (Natural Cellular Defense - Liquid Zeolite by Waiora) mainly to combat Lyme’s. It detoxifies the body (cleans out the heavy metals and toxins) and therefore your immune system starts working better too. It made my wart disappear which was also on my right thumb (had been trying for years to no avail).
   Have a great time on the West Coast - we’re expecting to see some of those raw cooking demos when you get back!

   Thanks Kevin for your upbeat energy… You are a really gifted and genuine person. Great Show !

   I had two stubborn warts on my wrist 45 years…. A bi-polar girlfriend of mine did not like it, so I consulted with an alternative dermatologist. Dr. Haines Ely in Grass Valley, CA had successful results removing warts with Beetle Juice and duct tape, which he asserted would give my immune system an opportunity to fight it… I gave him a $100 for the treatment, which ended up being 40 time consuming visits to his office.

   Ultimately, the treatment did not work. He ended up surgically removing the warts, and cauterizing the surrounding tissues. Its been about a year since they were removed, and it looks like one of them is gradually starting to grow back. As much as I value alternative medicine, it looks like I may want to it surgically removed again…

   Also, if you are a Tom Robbins fan, you might enjoy the following novel. There is a character who has a really large cauliflower shaped wart on her nose… And, I won’t give the story away about how its removed.

   Hi Kevin, It is always good to see your videos. I really enjoy them. About wart
   i never had any so far but i have heard
   that rubbing castor oil twice a day, one
   in the morning and one at night for about
   a month helps in getting rid of them -
   though the condition is - one must be very
   regular and cannot afford to miss the
   ritual. With warm wishes, Sudhakar

    Now, banana peel. Long ago, mercurachome–not a good thing! I hear there is a non-mercury type but I haven’t seen it.

11. Vlad on August 18, 2008 10:57 pm

    Hi,
    Here is the “witch” recipe against warts. (My younger sister recommended it to me). You need to get a new wooden pencil, sharp knife or blade, then carefully count ALL your warts on the body, make corresponding amount of cuts on the pencil with that knife and then throw the pencil away. When she told me about that recipe I just laughed, - I was a student in the medical school that time and was fighting with warts traditionally - by burning them out or freezing them with NO2 or CO2 having bad healing wounds and scars afterwards. And warts kept coming back… She showed me her hands as a proof and they were just fine. It was a problem for her before, I saw that.
    So, anyway, I gave it a shot… Approximately one or two weeks later she asked me about my warts. What warts? I completly forgot about them! I examined my hands - all warts were gone!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes! No warts since… That was 23 years ago.
    Mind over body?

    I accidentally found something that works fantastic for warts in a palmistry book from New Zealand.
    Take a small piece of bananna skin and put it on the wart and hold it down with a bandaid, with the bananna skin insied facing down onto the wart. (I pop the bananna skin in the fridge in a zip lock so I can go back to it later). I found that just changing the bandaid and the bananna skin a couple of times a day and at bed time, that the wart shrivells and comes off 3-5 days, depending on size. I used this for my kids because it is so safe. The result in one day of using bananna peel, is as much lift and shrivel as can be obtained from using that nasty chemical stuff for 3 days. Our Warts did not return either.

14. sharon ferguson on August 19, 2008 12:57 am

    I had a wart when I was young and had it frozen off. But my friend Brigitte Mars (herbalist) says a slice of garlic, bandaided on, works. I don’t know how long it takes…

15. sonja on August 19, 2008 3:14 am

    I had a wart on my thumb too, and it was very annoying because it would catch on things. One day I ripped it out unintentially (it caught on something). It grew back and I decided I did not want it anymore. I ;have not had a wart there since. I just have a little spot. Now have a wart on my toe. I tried special drops that are supposed to get rid of the wart, instead it sprouted. Now I have another one close by, plus the old one.
    My brother had a hand full of warts and had them cut out. He has not had any since.

16. sonja on August 19, 2008 3:17 am

    re goitre. I am taking Modifilan and my goitre has gone down in size over time. I saw a practitioner and she checked how much I needed to take which was much more than the recommended dosage. I took that for a week then went back to the lowest dosage and do well on that. I used to feel constantly tired and exhausted. This has totally handled this.
    I tried other seaweed and nothing happened.

    Hi,

    I had warts all over my hand as a child. They freezed them…and I ended up having twice as much warts. The freezed them again…no results accept the scars. Then I heard of a ‘wart’lady who which you could ’sell’ your warts to for a dime. I didn’t believe it but hoped that would do the trick. And it did… in a few weeks my hand was wartfree!

    Keep on the good work Kevin and Anne Marie!

18. Meri on August 19, 2008 5:32 am

    I have had two little warts close together on the inside of my left elbow since I was a child. I don’t remember when they first showed up. I never really felt bothered by them so I haven’t done much about it, but my mum always gave me garlic and multivitamins as a kid so my immune system was pretty good. I still take garlic to this day, and vitamin C too. I’m working on improving my health and immunity all the time so I’m assuming the warts will eventually disappear when I reach the right state of balance within my body?
    I do notice little wart like lumps on my fingers from time to time but they only last about a week and the occurence usually coincides with me eating too much sugars. I’m pretty sure that’s what causes it but I don’t know for sure that they are warts.

19. Muriel on August 19, 2008 8:01 am

    I had warts on my hands as a child, my aunt peeled a few slices of potatos and rubbed the peel on the wart for a few minutes and then went outside and threw the peel over her shoulder without looking where it landed. YES the wart was gone in a week.

20. Sheena on August 19, 2008 8:02 am

    Thank you for the quality and entertaining shows!

    I had a persistant cluster of warts om my big toe for years. When they started to spread I decided to pull out my orageno oil (having tried everything under the sun)

    Every night before bed I would clean my foot and buff away any dead skin cells and apply a layer of Orageno oil over the warts, covered with a band=aid until the oil soaked in.

    Within three weeks of nightly treatments the warts stopped spreading and the cluster of smaller warts (6) dissapeared. The large main wart is slowly shrinking too.

21. Suzie on August 19, 2008 10:13 am

    Hello, I just found your site through my Mercola.com letter. I love your unique way of speaking of health. It makes me feel good to listen to you. I don’t have a comment on your video today but I do have a question. About three years ago I started getting tiny white bumps on my top lip. They got worse and worse until there are about 200 of them now. They did not spread to my lower lip and my husband says it doesn’t bother him, but it sure bothers me. My accupuncturist told me it’s parasites. Have you ever heard of this and how can I get rid of it. I stopped eating meat about three months ago. I do have a problem with sweets, trying really hard to give them up. I thought I would start to lose weight eating so much better but I have gained 5 more pounds. thanks for any help you may have.

22. Carolyn on August 19, 2008 10:16 am

    Hello,
    Thank you for all your wonderful information and for being an uplifting highpoint of the day!
    O.K., I must admit I hesitated to share this as it sounds a little “kookie” however……my 15 year old son had severe plantar warts on his feet for which we tried many natural and some not so natural cures to no avail. I read in a brief comment somewhere in my internet travels, that urine ( first stream of the day being the most effective ) cures plantar warts. My son at that point was willing to try anything and agreed and urinated on his feet each morning in the shower. The warts began to disapperar in two days. With in 2 weeks they were gone and never returned. Fact!

23. Jacqueline on August 19, 2008 2:35 pm

    Hi everybody,

    The first and only time I had a wart was when, I believe,I shook hands with a homeless person in a street of London. I went to a homoeopathic pharmacy where I was recommended to use a few drops of THULA,a homoeopathic remedy,several times a day. After a week,to my astonishment,the wart disappeared leaving no scar.

    Merci Kevin and Annemarie for the videos and the good and useful health infos.

    Regards,

    Jacqueline

24. Sheilah Renaud on August 19, 2008 3:02 pm

    Hey Kevin, I love your show! Just one thing I want to suggest….Keep your active right hand a little lower as you make your gestures….Try not to “cut off” your face while on camera. Other than that, you’re doing great!

25. Betty on August 19, 2008 3:28 pm

    I found this worked… I took an Apple Cider Vinegar tablet, crushed it and rubbed it on the wart, and at night I would cover the wart with more of the Apple Cider Vinegar tablet and put duck tape around that. Even after the wart flattens, continue to put the tablet/duck tape on at night until you see absolutely no sign of the wart. For more information you can google wart removal and apple cider vinegar to see other testimonials. Worked for me on my hands

26. sarah on August 19, 2008 10:07 pm

    most of the remedies above seem better than this one, but here is my experience.
    i had a plantar’s wart that ‘i tried everything’-really - to get rid of, for 2 years…i even talked to it.
    in desperation, i bought dr scholl’s plantars wart medicine kit from the drugstore and used it that night - the next morning , that plantars wart had grown 10 times in size! - NEVER USE DR SCHOLL’S!!!! so, finally, in the 3rd year, i got the idea to use hydrogen peroxide on it. i appled peroxide to it twice daily for 3 months - and i would put a small bandaid with peroxide on the pad on it while i was at work - and it began to dry up and shrink slowly, and then it shrivelled up and left. it was like a miracle.
    so, i highly recommend you at least try peroxide. if you use food grade peroxide, water it down enough so that it is just warm to the touch before applying.
    i appreciate reading all these cure experiences - good to know!

27. cole on August 19, 2008 11:05 pm

    I know someone who ground up garlic and put it on their wart with duct tape over it. Make sure you put vitamin e oil around the wart to prevent the garlic from making the skin around it hurt. Just put it on every night until the wart is gone.

28. Sue Rushford on August 20, 2008 1:48 pm

    My little brother, when he was just a child, intuitively developed his own accidental/ experimental concoction to get rid of warts on his hands. One of the ingredients was the white liquid from a bloomed dandilion. It worked! We always thought it was magic, but now that I’ve been going on a few foraging expeditions, I’m learning it’s simply herbal medicine. Thanks for reminding me - I wonder whether I should tell my brother it wasn’t magic after all.

    In college, I had a plantar wart burnt/ cauterized off at the student health center. It worked, but if I had it to do again, I would definitely try all these natural cures first.

29. Irma Nance on August 20, 2008 2:46 pm

    I usd the garlic, it burned my skin and left a scar. The wart had to be zapped off by a Dermo.

30. Lori on August 20, 2008 4:01 pm

    What is a natural way of getting rid of parasites?

    I enjoy your daily videos.

31. Lori Coleman on August 20, 2008 4:14 pm

    Hi Kevin,

    My sister had a goiter when she was about 2 yrs. old. My mom, who is an herbalist and iridologist, started giving her kelp and the goiter went away. (And we got on the cover of “Let’s Live magazine with the before & after pics!)

    I have had hypothyroidism all my life (genetic) and I can recommend a couple of iodine supplements and taking kelp supplements. One of the liquid iodine supplements is called Detoxified Iodine formulate by Edgar Cayce. The other is an iodine called Magnascent Iodine which I think is similiar to Cayce’s but I don’t know what the difference is between them. All I know is that they work. Another fantasitic supplement is called Metabolic Advantage Thyroid Formula by enzymatictherapy.com This formula is NOT vegan or vegetarian so buyer beware–except that it works like magic.

    LOL,

    Lori

32. Marion on August 20, 2008 6:53 pm

    Good show.
    I have a couple warts, but not in places where they bother, so I just don’t worry about them.
    Have a good time at the Expo. Be sure to tell those organic growers to be sure their crops are not Genetically Modified. You might address the issue of GM foods on some future show.

    When my daughter was small she had warts on her fingers. I used a bandage to keep out all air and only left a small area to drop in castor oil on a regular basis. In a few days, the warts were gone.

34. Meghan on August 25, 2008 9:11 pm

    Re: getting rid of warts
    I can’t remember how I heard about this, but I tried it and it works . . .
    I had two small warts for about three years on two cuticles, and when I was nursing my daughter I would apply my breast milk to them. Took about six weeks for them to disappear! I’ve heard colostrum works even better, but I was already about six months into nursing, so no such luck.
    So if you can find a generous and accomodating nursing mom . . .!

35. Lexi on October 27, 2008 1:59 pm

    I take probiotics regularly while using a simple wart-killing band-aid from Dr. Scholls. Worked like a charm for me on 3 different occasions.
