Dry Socket
Submitted by minus a tooth at 2010-07-30 02:11:20 from 67.167.254.52
I will save you the time of reading all the other entries below mine, they all say the same thing- buy the Red Cross Toothache kid and use the clove oil.

WELL- THEY ARE ALL RIGHT!!!!

I have a dry socket from a left lower molar extraction last TUESDAY! I read these entries, set down the laptop, drove five minutes to walgreens, and my pain - which was unbearable - is absolutely gone.

Here's the trick, though. Take a ball of gauze NOT COTTON, and soak it in the clove oil using tweezers. THEN squirt some orajel on the gauze and with the tweezers, stick it in the dry socket hole. Cram it in there, I can only tell you that your pain will immediately disappear.

Leave the gauze in until you call your dentist. It will save you hours of agony.
Toenail Fungus
Submitted at 2010-07-29 22:42:40 from 72.225.173.55
I had fungus in one toe nail for going on two years. The nail was fully infected. I then decided upon a full assault. I filed the nail a bit every day, just enough to take a think layer off. Then I applied straight bleach - brushed it on with a fine paint brush. I got immediate results which inspired me to continue. A month later my nail looks normal... Now it should be said that the nail is not normal, but it looks it. As the bleach kills the fungus, the remaining nail is essentially dead and gradually falls away a small strip at a time. I imagine that the nail will completely fall off in the next weeks and then a new healthy nail will grow it its place. Also, the bleach did not bother my skin around the nail. I thought it might when I began, but for me, it did not. After two years of a most unsightly nail, I can hardly believe I've made this month progress in just four weeks. Think about it: straight bleach...you know it is gonna do something. Do proceed with caution, obviously, it is strong stuff.
Genital Warts
Submitted at 2010-07-29 13:07:30 from 76.124.117.170
I've only been doing this for about a week but so far it has seemed really successful.
I thought a had warts but I went to the doctor to confirm and sure enough, HPV it was. She gave me a prescription for Aldara but when I went to go get it from the pharmacy the pharmacist told me it was $416.00. I just could not afford that. I'm a student and that is more than my monthly rent in a major city!
But these warts were embarrassing and I couldn't think about anything else (plaguing my brain!) so I came here to look. The most positive remedy was obviously the ACV, but I kept looking. Someone said they had been drinking 5 hour energies and that helped a lot also. Someone recommended taking immunity boosting supplements also. So I went to the drug store armed with the power of the internet and 50 dollars. That was all I had. I went to the supplement/vitamin aisle and looked for Elderberry, Vitamin E and Garlic but only found the Garlic ad E. Then I walked past a 5 hour energy display. Those drinks are composed of high levels of B6 and B12 as well as Folic Acid so I picked up some of the supplements for those too because what did I have to lose.

So here is what I have been doing
At night - Wash the area, soak about 1/4 of a cotton ball in ACV and place it where the warts are. I am a lady with perianal warts so taping it on there was near impossible.

In the Morning - rinse off and wash again, apply vitamin E to the area (I just poked a hole in the liquid supplements with applied it that way)

B6 - 50mg
B12 - 500mcg
Folic Adic - 400mcg
Vitamin E (applied externally but also swallowed) -400IU
Vitamin C - 500mg
Garlic - 1250mg

Every 3 days- VitaminD 2000IU (I do this less often because it makes me a little nauseas due to the high dose. )

It's kind of a pain but the warts are worse. They're not entirely gone yet but they seem to be recessing back into my body, which makes me think that my body is fighting off the virus which is AMAZING. I really think the B vitamins and Folic Acid are helping a lot.

Warning - applying the ACV will be fine initially but it starts to HURT. Apply it at night because 1 - the smell is kind of weird. and 2 - you're not moving around as much there i less friction and the skin around the warts will not get as irritated. But it will sting a little!

Best of luck to everyone
