Social Topics - Singapore Tattoo Con 2009

This is part two of Stories on the Skin: the Life and Times of Tattoos, Piercings, and Modifications.

Tattoos had been used in ancient Greece and Rome to mark ownership of slaves and as punishment for criminals. Rather than being ornamental, the tattooing practices signified degradation, punishment, and permanent ownership. in Greek literature, the first reference to tattooing is as stigmatias or ?a marked slave.? the word stigma in English is derived from the Greek and indicates discredit or shame.

Apparently the Greeks adapted their tattooing practices from the Persians, and later, the Romans continued the practice of tattooing slaves and the term stigmata. within the medical text Medicae artis principes, by the sixth-century Roman physician Aetius, is the oldest known description of stigmata.

Spiritual and Religious

Body modification can certainly have spiritual meaning; many people are on nature-based spiritual paths seeking to reclaim or regenerate magical rites of passage.

Ritualising the act of tattooing may be the closest we humans have to transform the body in an ancient, Shamanic way to mark the passage of the seasons and the growth of the Self, and decorating it in a way that is pleasing to the spirit.

In the Pujab, India, there exists a widespread belief that a tattoo is inscribed on the soul as well as the body. when a person dies, the soul ?will go to heaven blazoned with the same tattoo patterns which adorned the body in life.?

In the Bible, slaves who were free but chose to work for their masters had their ear pierced to signify their loyalty and steadfast devotion to their master. (Exodus 21.5, Deuteronomy15.16)

Orthodox Jews have a prohibition against chavalah (wounding), but Israel is turning more and more to aesthetic surgery. the negative overtones of tattooing include refusing the burial of tattooed Jews in consecrated grounds. the changes in society have forced even the most conservative to reconsider expansion of aesthetic permission, especially in cases of social isolation and psychic pain brought on by physical deformities.

Is it a matter of original skin vs. original sin?

The treatment of our earthly bodies as ordained by the religious mandate of cleanliness has been weighed against the tribal superstition or modern self-aggrandizement through modification and adornment.

Medical

From Egypt to South Africa, from the Native American peoples to the Inuit, tattooing has traditional uses as preventative medicine against illness in much the same way as the West uses vaccination. in the Sudan and other African states, the welt tattoos are not purely decorative but act as a way of strengthening the immune system or reducing the risk of infection. Similarly, a particular mark or symbol can used to enhance fertility or to boost courage. the tattoo here is not only a means of giving quick information about its owner, but as a way of using the body?s natural energy centres and sensitive points to work magically. the significance of the design, however cryptic, and the act of will in the application, create the medicine.

Protective tattoos are rarely used in the West during pregnancy (for fear of infecting the infant) but can be observed in other cultures as a way of ensuring the baby is healthy or guarded from spiritual attack.

As the noted medical historian Roy Porter wrote, ?The body is pregnant with symbolic meanings, deep, intensely charged and often contradictory ? Medical beliefs are always underpinned by cultural attitudes and values about the flesh.? the use of tattoos, modifications, and adornment often reflect attempts to ward off the perceived evil of sickness and death. Porter adds, ?The dread of disease, potential and actual, the pains of acute complaints and long-term ailments, and the terror of mortality number among our most universal and formidable experiences.?

Literary References

One of the great literary characters is Queequeg, the Polynesian harpooner in Moby Dick. He opens Ishmael?s mind and eventually saves his life. Not only is Queequeg is important to the theme of friendship, but he is important for the value of diversity and tolerance. although Queequeg is a heathen, by Christian definition, Ishmael increasingly notices the man?s independent dignity, good heart, extraordinary courage, and generous spirit. Queequeg?s body is covered with tattoos, and Ishmael initially assumes that the aborigine must be a cannibal. He soon learns that his new friend is one of the most civilized men that he has ever met. as Ishmael concludes, ?You cannot hide the soul.? Born a prince, Queequeg gave up a life of ease on his native island, Kokovoko, when he stole aboard a visiting whaling ship and insisted on joining the crew. His purpose was to experience the world of which he had only heard stories. Ishmael, too, wants to see the world. What they discover is that a man?s soul is more important than his appearance or even his religion.

Ishmael has sensed his friend?s noble spirit. in fact, almost immediately Ishmael recognizes Queequeg?s noble character, noting that he ?treated me with so much civility and consideration, while I was guilty of great rudeness.? Queequeg is a synthesis of all racial and ethnic characteristics; that is, he is a symbol of all mankind. His signature is the symbol for infinity.

Cosmetics and Aesthetics

Cosmetic medical procedures and permanent make-up applications utilize piercing, tattoo and modifications. Sander Gilman, in his book Making the Body Beautiful: A Cultural History of Aesthetic Surgery, writes, ?The desire for rejuvenation in the West is as old as myth. Did Ponce de Leon really find the fountain of youth? one doubts it.?

Emanuel Thorne of the Aspen Institute stated, ?Human beings have become useful to each other in ways never before possible.? Cosmetic, corrective, and replacement surgeries are a rapidly growing part of our society, including hair transplantation, breast augmentation and reduction, penile implants, sex change operations, and corrective rhinoplasty. We live in a time when all of us can exist in the realm of possibility?depending on supply and demand, we are able to have a part, whether it is heart or knee, replaced. the demand, of course, far exceeds the supply, yet we march on at a furious pace. in 1996, more than 300,000 people received bone, tendon, ligament, and connective-tissue implants. more than 40,000 people underwent corneal transplantation. Hundreds of thousands of replacement and cosmetic procedures occur annually.

The replacement of a diseased organ by a healthy one has turned from dream to reality for tens of thousands of people of all ages. the ?old? favorites are on the menu, such as hip or knee replacement. many of the items may be either new or variations of old standards that are filled with exciting ways to put more zip in your drive or eliminate the catch in your giddy-up. Tasty! while you browse, you will move on to Nouvelle cuisine, and you can sample delicacies such as knee shaving, and new foci in gene therapy. as we head into a new millennium, more and more of us will be seeking to utilize the great technology that awaits.

Health Considerations

What about the piercing and tattoo scene and where is it headed? Both forms of adornment have their dangers. the American Dental Association opposes oral (tongue, lip, or cheek) piercing and calls it a public health hazard. the American Academy of Dermatology has taken a position against all forms of body piercing with one exception: the ear lobe.

People piercing their bodies should concern themselves with more than just sensitivity and allergic reactions. one of the biggest problems many of us see is keloid formation. although the ear lobe is made of fatty tissue and has a good blood supply, it does not protect you from the wrath of keloids and other disfiguring growths that can sprout up in response to piercing.

A keloid is a large scar or raised portion of abnormal skin. I have removed horrendous keloids on those that have had ear piercings including one recently that had grown to the size of a small tomato on the right ear of an African-American man.

The tattooing procedure involves a variable amount of pain and a small amount of bleeding. the medical complications can be classified as either infectious or noninfectious. Noninfectious include scarring (common), skin allergies to the jewelry metals, urticarial (hive-like) reactions, and prolonged bleeding. Malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, psoriasis, sarcoidosis and lupus have been attributed to tattoos.

Infectious agents include Hepatitis B and C, tetanus, syphilis, leprosy, tuberculosis, warts, fungus, HIV, and pyogenic Staphylococcus and Streptococcus infections (cellulitis and gangrene necessitating amputation). one must even be cautious of the benign, pretty tattooed butterfly, for it may be a vector of mycobacteria.

Make sure that wherever you go for piercing is a reputable place. It?s important to ask what tools and devices they are using and whether they?re going to check for allergic reactions.

Both the U.S. and Canadian Red Cross will give you a year?s deferment if you?ve been pierced or tattooed except at a state-licensed shop. why? Both procedures can transmit dangerous blood-borne diseases. Beyond the immediate pain and suffering of the procedure, other factors including the risk of chronic infection including abscesses or boils, prolonged bleeding, scarring, Hepatitis B and C, Tetanus, skin allergies to the jewelry that?s used, permanent holes, chipped or broken teeth, choking from mouth jewelry, and a speech impediment.

Tattoos require appropriate aftercare, including keeping them clean while they heal, usually 5-10 days. Once they?re healed, sunscreen is strongly recommended, both because the skin is more susceptible to the rays of the sun and to prevent fading.

The Adorning Reality

We?re seeing a resurgence in the popularity of tattoos, mutilation, modificatio, and adornment. the art of is a far cry from the rebellious Western teenager making a shock statement or a middle aged person making a spontaneous bid for an eternal youthfulness by picking a deliberately provocative pictorial statement as a tattoo.

I have observed many body adornments that do not seem to have a congruent common theme. love and wonderful pastorals flourish next to death and spirits, thriving on the same skin surface as if emanating a potpurri of sentiments. Or a series of tiny earrings, each bearing a different color and tone, are on the left ear with a oversized nasal piercing on the right nostril, as if making sure the face stays in balance. I think there should be adornment planners in similar ways as life or financial planners, implementing new designs with time.

The bond between the tattooist and tattooed is filled with infinite possibility, limited only by the imagination of the participants. whether a person uses her or his body as way to record life experiences or a canvas for tattoo art, it is the individual coming out on the skin.

?Of all the raw materials available to humanity for transformation into art, the body is the most readily available. the marking of the body is often a human being?s first expression of individuality, the putting of something of the inner self on the outer skin. the body art of tattooing is a personal means of immediate self-expression, a permanent visible statement of self.?

A trip to a local ?tattoofest? was the key that unlocked a door that opened to a journey into the cultural, spiritual, and myriad other manifestations of the ancient and current use of tattoos, mutilation and adornment. perhaps the human body is the ultimate canvas on which to chronicle your life. I prefer my computer. But I have gained quite a new perspective on a subject that is most definitely not just skin deep.

Skin, hair and nails in children

Filed under: heal warts 

September 21, 2011, 8:09 pm

Dr. B.J.C.Perera MBBS(Ceylon), DCH(Ceylon), DCH(England), MD(Paediatrics), FRCP(Edinburgh), FRCP(London), FRCPCH(United Kingdom), FSLCPaed, FCCP, FCGP(Sri Lanka) Consultant Paediatrician

* Skin is the largest organ of the body.

* Nails and hair are appendages associated with the skin.

* Skin and its appendages have a predominantly protective role.

* There are several diseases that can affect the skin and its appendages.

It may come as a surprise to many that the skin is the largest organ in the human body. If the skin of a typical 150-pound or 68 kilogram adult male were stretched out flat, it would cover about 2 square yards or 1.7 square meters and weigh about 9 pounds or 4 kilograms. the skin protects the network of muscles, bones, nerves, blood vessels, and everything else inside the body. with regard to the texture of the skin, the eyelids have the thinnest skin and the skin of the soles of the feet is the thickest.

Hair is actually a modified type of skin. Hair grows everywhere on the human body except the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, eyelids, and lips. Hair grows more quickly in temperate climates and more slowly at night than during the day. like hair, nails are a type of modified skin. Nails protect the sensitive tips of fingers and toes. Human nails aren’t necessary for living, but they do provide support for the tips of the fingers and toes, protect them from injury and aid in picking up small objects. Without them, humans would have a hard time scratching an itch or untying a knot. Nails can be an indicator of a person’s general health and illness often affects their growth.

Skin is essential in many ways. It forms a barrier that prevents harmful substances and microorganisms from entering the body. It protects body tissues against injury. It also controls the loss of life-sustaining fluids like blood and water, helps regulate body temperature through perspiration and protects from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. Without the nerve cells in skin, people would not feel warmth, cold, touch, superficial pain or other sensations. For instance, goosebumps form when the erector pili muscles contract to make hairs on the skin stand up straight when someone is cold or frightened and the blood vessels keep the body from losing heat by narrowing as much as possible and keeping the warm blood away from the skin’s surface, offering insulation and protection.

Every square inch of skin contains thousands of cells and hundreds of sweat glands, oil glands, nerve endings, and blood vessels. Skin is made up of three layers. these are the epidermis, dermis and the subcutaneous layer of tissues. the upper layer of our skin, the epidermis, is the tough, protective outer layer. It is about as thick as a sheet of paper over most parts of the body. the epidermis has four layers of cells that are constantly flaking off and being renewed. In these four layers are three special types of cells. They are :-

* Melanocytes produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. all people have roughly the same number of melanocytes but those of dark-skinned people produce more melanin. Exposure to sunlight increases the production of melanin which is the reason why people get suntanned or freckled.

* Keratinocytes produce keratin, a type of protein that is a basic component of hair, skin and nails. On the surface of the skin, kerating produces a tough intact protective barrier.

* Langerhan cells help protect the body against infection.

Because the cells in the epidermis are completely replaced about every 28 days, cuts and scrapes heal quickly. Healing occurs much earlier due to the inherent property of rapid cell turnover in the skin. Even surgical incisions in children heal very well in about 5 – 7 days.

Below the epidermis is the next layer of skin, the dermis, which is made up of blood vessels, nerve endings, and connective tissue. the dermis nourishes the epidermis. two types of fibers in the dermis, collagen and elastin, help the skin to stretch when the body bends at joints and repositions itself when straightening up. Collagen is strong and hard to stretch while elastin, as its name suggests, is elastic. In older people, some of the elastin-containing fibers degenerate, which is one reason why the skin looks wrinkled.

The dermis also contains a person’s sebaceous glands. these glands, which surround and empty into hair follicles and pores, produce the oil sebum that lubricates the skin and hair. Sebaceous glands are found mostly in the skin on the face, upper back, shoulders and the chest. Most of the time, the sebaceous glands make the right amount of sebum. as a person’s body begins to mature and develop during the teenage years hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum. when pores become clogged by too much sebum and too many dead skin cells, this contributes to acne or pimples. Later in life, these glands produce less sebum which contributes to dry skin as people age.

The bottom layer of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, is made up of connective tissue, sweat glands, blood vessels and cells that store fat. this layer helps protect the body from blows and other injuries and helps it hold in body heat. There are two types of sweat glands. the eccrine glands are found everywhere, although they are mostly in the forehead, palms and soles of the feet. By producing sweat, these glands help regulate body temperature and some waste products are also excreted through them. the apocrine sweat glands develop at puberty and are concentrated in the armpits and pubic region. the sweat from the apocrine glands is thicker than that produced by the eccrine glands. Although this sweat does not smell, when it mixes with bacteria on the skin’s surface, it can cause body odour. A normal, healthy adult secretes about 1 pint or about half a litre of sweat daily. however, this may be increased by physical activity, fever or a hot environment.

The hair on the head is not just there for looks and beauty. It keeps the body warm by preserving heat. the hair in the nose, ears and around the eyes protects these sensitive areas from dust and other small particles. Eyebrows and eyelashes protect eyes by decreasing the amount of light and particles that go into them. the fine hair that covers the body provides warmth and protects the skin. Hair also cushions the body against injury. Human hair consists of the hair shaft, which projects from the skin’s surface and the root, a soft thickened bulb at the base of the hair embedded in the skin. the root ends in the hair bulb, which sits in a sac-like pit in the skin called the follicle from which the hair grows. At the bottom of the follicle is the papilla, where hair growth actually takes place and growth occurs from the bottom upwards. the papilla contains an artery that nourishes the root of the hair. as cells multiply and produce keratin to harden the structure, they are pushed up the follicle and through the surface of the skin as a shaft of hair. Hair grows by forming new cells at the base of the root. these cells multiply to form a rod of tissue in the skin. the rods of cells move upward through the skin as new cells form beneath them. as they move up, they are cut off from their supply of nourishment and start to form a hard protein called keratin in a process called keratinization. as this process occurs, the hair cells die. the dead cells and keratin form the shaft of the hair.

Each hair has three layers. They are the medulla at the centre, which is soft, the cortex, which surrounds the medulla and is the main part of the hair and the cuticle, the hard outer layer that protects the shaft. each hair grows about a quarter of an inch or about 6 millimetres every month and keeps on growing for up to 6 years. the hair then falls out and another grows in its place. the length of a person’s hair depends on the length of the growing phase of the follicle. Follicles are active for 2 to 6 years and they rest for about 3 months after that. A person becomes bald if the scalp follicles become inactive and no longer produce new hair. Thick hair grows out of large follicles while narrow follicles produce thin hair.

The colour of a person’s hair is determined by the amount and distribution of melanin in the cortex of each hair. this is the the same melanin that is found in the epidermis. Hair also contains a yellow-red pigment. People who have blonde or red hair have only a small amount of melanin in their hair. Hair becomes grey when people age because sufficient pigment is not formed to colour the hair.

Nails grow out of the deep folds in the skin of the fingers and toes. as epidermal cells below the nail root move up to the surface of the skin, they increase in number and those closest to the nail root become flattened and pressed tightly together. each cell is transformed into a thin plate and these plates are piled in layers to form the nail. as with hair, nails are formed by keratinization. when the nail cells accumulate, the nail is pushed forward. the skin below the nail is called the matrix. the larger part of the nail, the nail plate, looks pink because of the network of tiny blood vessels in the underlying dermis. the whitish crescent-shaped area at the base of the nail is called the lunula. Fingernails grow about three or four times as quickly as toenails. like hair, nails grow more rapidly in temperate climes. If a nail is torn off, it will re-grow if the matrix is not severely injured. White spots or lines on the nail are sometimes due to temporary changes in growth rate of the nail.

The term dermatitis refers to any inflammation characterised by swelling, itching, and redness of the skin. There are many types of dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis or eczema is common, hereditary dermatitis that causes an itchy rash primarily on the face, trunk, arms, and legs. It commonly develops in infancy, but can also appear in early childhood. It may be associated with allergic diseases such as asthma and seasonal, environmental and food allergies. Contact dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritating substance or one that the person is allergic or sensitive to. There may be several causes which include chemicals found in laundry detergent, cosmetics, perfumes and metals like nickel plating on jewellery. Seborrhoeic dermatitis is an oily rash which appears on the scalp, face, chest and back. It is is related to an overproduction of sebum from the sebaceous glands. this condition is seen regularly in infants and adolescents.

Several types of bacterial infections can occur in the skin. Impetigo is a bacterial infection that results in a honey-coloured crusty rash, often on the face near the mouth and nose. Cellulitis is an infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that typically occurs when bacteria are introduced through a puncture, bite or some other break in the skin. the area with cellulitis is usually warm, tender and has some redness. Certain types of these bacteria are also responsible for distinctive rashes on the skin, including the rashes associated with scarlet fever and toxic shock syndrome.

Certain types of fungal infections can occur in the skin and nails. A warm, moist environment, such as that found in the folds of the skin in the diaper area of infants, is perfect for growth of the yeast Candida. Yeast infections of the skin in older children, teens, and adults are less common. another fungal infection is Tinea infection or ringworm. Contrary to popular belief, it is not caused by a worm. It is caused by a fungus infection that can affect the skin, nails or scalp. Tinea fungi can infect the skin and related tissues of the body. the medical name for ringworm of the scalp is tinea capitis, ringworm of the body is called tinea corporis and ringworm of the nails is called tinea unguium. with tinea corporis, the fungi can cause scaly ring-like lesions anywhere on the body. Tinea pedis or athlete’s foot is an infection of the feet caused by the same types of fungi that cause ringworm. Athlete’s foot is commonly found in adolescents and is more likely to occur during warm weather.

There are a few other conditions that affect the skin. Parasites, usually tiny insects or worms, can feed on or burrow into the skin, often resulting in an itchy rash. Scabies and lice are examples of parasitic infestations. both are contagious and can be easily caught from other people. Many viruses cause characteristic rashes on the skin, including varicella, the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles, herpes simplex which causes cold sores, human papillomavirus the virus that causes warts and a whole host of others. Acne is most common in teens. some degree of acne is seen in 85 per cent of adolescents, and nearly all teens have the occasional pimple, blackhead or whitehead. Skin cancer is rare in children and teenagers but good sun protection habits established during these years can help prevent skin cancers such as melanoma which is a serious form of skin cancer that can spread to other parts of the body, later in life, especially among fair-skinned people who sunburn easily. In addition to these diseases and conditions, the skin can be injured in a number of ways. Minor scrapes, cuts, and bruises heal quickly on their own, but other injuries such as severe deep cuts and burns, require medical treatment.

There are certain diseases or disorders that affect the scalp and hair. Tinea capitis, a type of ringworm, is a fungal infection that forms scaly, ring-like lesion in the scalp. It is contagious and common among school-age children. Alopecia is an area of hair loss. Ringworm is a common cause of temporary alopecia in children. Alopecia can also be caused by tight braiding that pulls on the hair roots. this condition is known as called tension alopecia. Alopecia areata occurs when hair falls out in round or oval patches on the scalp. It is a less common condition that can affect children and teenagers.

What is the fastest way to heal genital warts??

Filed under: heal warts 

I don't think there is a healing to genital warts. Definately go see a doctor!

ok well you do know there is no cure but there are treatments that can reduce the number of warts — or help them go away faster. When the warts disappear, the HPV virus is still there so if you havent already go to the dr. and here is a good link to learn more

Check out this link..and see your doctor

niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/stdh…

I've heard laser removal is the best way as they are less likely to come back but remember never a cure as it is virus and can reappear at a later time and you would still be contagious.

Go to the doctor

naturally? I'm not sure. they say a lot of different things help, but I have no experience with them.

This is a pretty good site for natural cures.
home-remedies-for-you.com/rem…

Other than that, you need to go to a doctor to get a prescription, but they have plenty of different creams and stuff that work. Aladara is the most commercialized one.

A lot of times, genital warts will go away on their own, but if you want to take action to cure them your doctor is probably your best bet.
Here's another site that might help.
webmd.com/content/article/8/1…

Go get them burned off with acid or frozen off with liquid nitrogen immediatly.
The longer they sit untreated on your skin, the more they spread.
If you do not have health insurance, you can get the treatment at planned parenthood on sliding scale cost ( what you can afford to donate.)

What are the "3 groceries that heal genital warts (hpv) in 3 days"? i see this adveritised alot and am curious

Filed under: heal warts 

healgenitalwarts.com/

this is the website…. i dont want to pay the $16 just to know, was wondering if anyone had already done this or knew…

Um , they are scamming you . Warts NEVER are gone out of your body ( the genital kind) they may not be seen from the outside but you will always carry the virus. once one has started to must be removed by a doctor. there are NO groceries that HEAL warts! LMAO

You cannot get rid of it. you can only get rid of the symptoms. You're doctor can do one of two things: prescribe an ointment or freeze off the warts. but HPV never goes away.

well…i dont know. it may work and it may not. Some warts – left untreated will go away on their own. others, will continue to grow. Your best best is to go to the doctor and get some cream. you can get it free at your local clinic.

As for "curing" what everyone else wrote….its not true. 91% of people with HPV will clear the virus out of their bodies within 8-24 months.

Dont believe me? lol, check out the attached report to Congress that the Center for Disease Control put out.

Healthy diet and lifestyle and you should be ok.

Good Luck.

They can't even spell Wal-Mart. Don't waste your money. This is just another virus that can't be cured. Crico or laser makes things look better but that's all. Blessed Be

Nothing "heals" genital warts. you can use a cream to keep them at bay or you can have them removed cryogenically (frozen off). I suspect this is just a scam.

LULZ U HAVE GENITAL WARTZ LOLOLOLOLOL!

Applying Aldara Cream to healing Genital warts?

Filed under: heal warts 

2 months ago i got my genital warts frozen with that cryo gun thing. They reduced in number, but never fully left, They are now back in full force, I got them frozen again 2 days ago.

Is it ok to use Aldara cream on them? and does it work better?

I use to bite mines off. no joke.

Yes, it is OK to use Aldara and it does work way much better because the medication in the cream actually penetrates the skin where the virus has developed the warts.

Warts – How to Remove Warts – Medical and Natural Remedies For Removing Warts

Filed under: heal warts 

Warts are often unsightly and discomforting to find no matter where they are on your body. in fact, many people are so embarrassed about them that they try to conceal them with band-aids so that other people will not be able to see them. For those who get tired of always wearing band aids here are some tips on how to remove warts both medically and using herbal or natural remedies.

First, off, you will need to see your doctor for any of the medical treatments, of course. he or she can recommend what they think is the best way to remove your particular type of wart. if you don’t want surgery or laser treatment, you can try some of the natural methods listed below first, then if they don’t work go ahead to your doctors and see what they recommend – the natural methods don’t hurt and have no side effects while the surgical methods can be painful and leave a scar.

There are three primary kinds of surgery that can be utilized to remove your warts, and these are:

? Laser treatment – this requires the application of a powerful beam to abolish the warts.

? Electrosurgery – this entails the use of an electric current to burn off the warts.

? Cryosurgery – this needs the application of extremely low temperatures to be able to freeze the warts.

Laser treatment may be a little sore but this depends on some things attributed to your wart and things attributed to the laser device that is used. Lasers can actually be a relatively pain free and non-intrusive way to treat warts so it is something you really should consider.

Electro surgery can be quite painful and following the treatment, you may feel some discomfort and there can be some discharge in the area where the wart was. It may take up to six weeks before it can fully heal. One of the main disadvantages of this treatment is that it generally leaves a scar.

Cryosurgery is the most popular wart removal treatments today and has been used for quite some time in wart treatment. this procedure that involves the freezing of the wart can be quite costly and at times may require a few visits to the clinic to in order for treatment to be completed.

The healing time for this kind of treatment can last from one to two months. Though it rarely happens, there is some chance of an infection or nerve damage.

If you want to learn how to remove warts using natural means, you might try some of these home remedies:

1. Crush garlic cloves and cover the wart with the crushed garlic. put a bandage over this for 1 week.

2. Rub banana peel on the wart several times a day until it goes away.

3. “Suffocate” the wart with duct tape.

4. Crush up a vitamin C pill and put the powder on the wart – cover with a bandage. Repeat for several days until the wart disappears.

12 Foods With Super-Healing Powers

Filed under: heal warts 

By Nikki Jong, Caring.com contributing editorAs part of a healthy diet, whole foods play a significant role in helping our bodies function optimally. There are hundreds of extremely nutritious whole foods, but the dozen on this list do more than contribute healthy nutrients — they help you heal. In fact, every food on this list boasts multiple healing effects, from fighting cancer to reducing cholesterol, guarding against heart disease, and more. Eat these super-healing picks and start feeling pretty super yourself.

  • Anti-Cancer Superfoods
  • KiwifruitThis tiny, nutrient-dense fruit packs an amazing amount of vitamin C (double the amount found in oranges), has more fiber than apples, and beats bananas as a high-potassium food. the unique blend of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals found in kiwifruit helps protect against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and respiratory disease. Kiwifruit’s natural blood-thinning properties work without the side effects of aspirin and support vascular health by reducing the formation of spontaneous blood clots, lowering LDL cholesterol, and reducing blood pressure. Multiple studies have shown that kiwifruit not only reduces oxidative stress and damage to DNA but also prompts damaged cells to repair themselves.Kiwifruit is often prescribed as part of a dietary regimen to battle cancer and heart disease, and in Chinese medicine it’s used to accelerate the healing of wounds and sores.How much: Aim to eat one to two kiwifruit a day while they’re in season, for the best taste and nutrition. California-grown kiwifruit are in season from October through may, and new Zealand kiwifruit are available between April and November.Tips:

  • Kiwifruit contains enzymes that activate once you cut the fruit, causing the flesh to tenderize. So if you’re making a fruit salad, cut the kiwifruit last.
  • The riper the kiwifruit, the greater the antioxidant power, so let them ripen before you dig in.
  • CherriesCherries boast a laundry list of healing powers. for starters, they pack a powerful nutritional punch for a relatively low calorie count. They’re also packed with substances that help fight inflammation and cancer. as if that weren’t enough, in lab studies, quercetin and ellagic acid, two compounds contained in cherries, have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors and even cause cancer cells to commit suicide — without damaging healthy cells. Cherries also have antiviral and antibacterial properties.

  • 10 Little-Known Heart Attack Symptoms
  • Anthocyanin, another compound in cherries, is credited with lowering the uric acid levels in the blood, thereby reducing a common cause of gout. Researchers believe anthocyanins may also reduce your risk of colon cancer. further, these compounds work like a natural form of ibuprofen, reducing inflammation and curbing pain. Regular consumption may help lower risk of heart attack and stroke. In Chinese medicine, cherries are routinely used as a remedy for gout, arthritis, and rheumatism (as well as anemia, due to their high iron content). plus they’re delicious.How much: Aim for a daily serving while they’re in season locally. And keep a bag of frozen cherries in your freezer the rest of the year; frozen cherries retain 100 percent of their nutritional value and make a great addition to smoothies, yogurt, and oatmeal.Tips:

  • Buy organic, since conventionally grown cherries can be high in pesticides.
  • GuavasGuavas are a small tropical fruit that can be round, oval, or pear-shaped. They’re not all that common, so they might be hard to find, depending on where you live. but if you can track them down, it’s more than worth it. Guavas contain more of the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene than any other fruit or vegetable, and nearly 20 percent more than tomatoes. Our bodies can’t process much of the lycopene in tomatoes until they’re cooked; the processing helps break down tough cell walls. However, guavas’ cell structure allows the antioxidant to be absorbed whether the fruit is raw or cooked, and the whole fruit offers the nutrition without the added sodium of processed tomato products.

  • Egg Yolks OK With High Cholesterol?
  • Lycopene protects our healthy cells from free radicals that can cause all kinds of damage, including blocked arteries, joint degeneration, nervous system problems, and even cancer. Lycopene consumption is associated with significantly lower rates of prostate cancer; in addition, men with prostate tumors who consumed lycopene supplements showed significant improvements, such as smaller tumors and decreased malignancy. Lycopene has also been found to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells, and research suggests that this antioxidant may also help protect against coronary heart disease.This strange-looking little fruit is also packed with vitamin C and other antioxidants. Serving for serving, guava offers more than 60 percent more potassium than a banana, which can help protect against heart disease and stroke. In fact, the nutrients found in guavas have been shown to lower LDL and boost HDL cholesterol, reduce triglycerides, and lower blood pressure.How much: Aim to eat fresh guavas as often as you can when you can find them in stores. They’re not commonly available in the freezer section; and most guava juices are processed and sweetened, so they don’t provide the same superior nutrition that the whole, fresh fruit does. One to two guavas a day is a good goal.Tips:

  • Opt for the red-fleshed variety if you can; both are loaded with antioxidants, but the red type has more than the white-fleshed apple guava.
  • Beans Beans are a miracle food. they lower cholesterol, regulate blood sugar and insulin production, promote digestive health, and protect against cancer. If you think of fiber, protein, and antioxidants and immediately think whole grains, meat, and fruit, think again — beans offer all three in a single package.an assortment of phytochemicals found in beans has been shown to protect cells from cancerous activity by inhibiting cancer cells from reproducing, slowing tumor growth. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health reported that women who consumed beans at least twice a week were 24 percent less likely to develop breast cancer, and multiple studies have tied beans to a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and breast and colon cancers.Beans deliver a whopping amount of antioxidants, which help prevent and fight oxidative damage. In fact, the USDA’s ranking of foods by antioxidant capacity places three varieties of beans (red beans, red kidney beans, and pinto beans) in the top four — and that’s among all food groups. Beans are a great source of dietary fiber, protein, and iron. they also contain the amino acid tryptophan; foods with high amounts of tryptophan can help regulate your appetite, aid in sleep, and improve your mood. many are also rich in folate, which plays a significant role in heart health. And depending on the type of bean you choose, you’ll also get decent amounts of potassium, magnesium, vitamin B1 and B2, and vitamin K. Soybeans are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. In Chinese medicine, various types of beans have been used to treat alcoholism, food poisoning, edema (particularly in the legs), high blood pressure, diarrhea, laryngitis, kidney stones, rheumatism, and dozens of other conditions.How much: Aim for a minimum of two servings of beans per week.Tips:

  • Adzuki and mung beans are among the most easily digested; pinto, kidney, navy, garbanzo, lima, and black beans are more difficult to digest.
  • WatercressNot only is watercress extremely nutritious, it’s about as close as you can get to a calorie-free food. Calorie for calorie, it provides four times the calcium of 2 percent milk. Ounce for ounce, it offers as much vitamin C as an orange and more iron than spinach. It’s packed with vitamin A and has lots of vitamin K, along with multiple antioxidant carotenoids and protective phytochemicals.

  • 10 Early Signs of Prostate Cancer
  • The nutrients in watercress protect against cancer and macular degeneration, help build the immune system, and support bone health. the iron helps red blood cells carry oxygen to your body’s tissues for energy. the phytochemicals in watercress battle cancer in three ways: killing cancer cells, blocking carcinogens, and protecting healthy cells from carcinogens. They’ve also been shown to help prevent lung and esophageal cancer and can help lower your risk for other cancers.In Chinese medicine, watercress is thought to help reduce tumors, improve night vision, and stimulate bile production (improving digestion and settling intestinal gas). It’s used as a remedy for jaundice, urinary difficulty, sore throat, mumps, and bad breath.How much: Eat watercress daily if you can. In some regions, it’s more widely available during the spring and summer, when it’s cultivated outdoors. but since it can also be grown hydroponically in greenhouses, you can find it year-round in many grocery stores and at your local farmer’s market.Tips:

  • You can cook it, but watercress is better for you when you eat it raw. Tuck it into a sandwich in place of lettuce.
  • Toss it with your favorite vegetables and eat it in a salad.
  • Watercress is great in pesto — just replace the basil with watercress — and soups.
  • Use watercress as a wonderfully detoxifying ingredient in a juice or smoothie.
  • Spinach You already knew spinach was good for you, but did you know just how good? Spinach protects against eye disease and vision loss; it’s good for brain function; it guards against colon, prostate, and breast cancers; it protects against heart disease, stroke, and dementia; it lowers blood pressure; it’s anti-inflammatory; and it’s great for bone health. Spinach has an amazing array of nutrients, including high amounts of vitamin K, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, magnesium, and iron.A carotenoid found in spinach not only kills prostate cancer cells, it also prevents them from multiplying. Folate promotes vascular health by lowering homocysteine, an amino acid that, at high levels, raises the risk of dementia and cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke. Folate has also been shown to reduce the risk of developing colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancers and to help stop uncontrolled cell growth, one of the primary characteristics of all cancers. the vitamin C and beta-carotene in spinach protect against colon cancer in addition to fighting inflammation, making them key components of brain health, particularly in older adults.Spinach is loaded with vitamin K (one cup of cooked spinach provides 1,111 percent of the recommended daily amount!), which builds strong bones by helping calcium adhere to the bone. Spinach is also rich in lutein, which protects against age-related macular degeneration, and it may help prevent heart attacks by keeping artery walls clear of cholesterol buildup.How much: Fresh spinach should be a daily staple in your diet. It’s available in practically every grocery store, no matter where you live, it’s easy to find year-round, and you’d be hard pressed to find a more nutritionally sound, versatile green. So do yourself a healthy favor and aim for a few ounces, raw or lightly steamed, every day.Tips:

  • Add a handful of fresh spinach to your next fruit smoothie. It’ll change the color but not the taste.
  • Conventionally grown spinach is susceptible to pesticide residue; stick to organic.
  • OnionsOnions get a bad rap for their effect on the breath, but that’s not the only part of the body where they pack a wallop. Onions contain potent cancer-fighting enzymes; onion consumption has been shown to help lower the risk of prostate and esophageal cancers and has also been linked to reduced mortality from coronary heart disease. Research suggests that they may help protect against stomach cancer. Onions contain sulfides that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as a peptide that may help prevent bone loss by inhibiting the loss of calcium and other bone minerals.Onions have super antioxidant power. they contain quercetin, a natural antihistamine that reduces airway inflammation and helps relieve symptoms of allergies and hay fever. Onions also boast high levels of vitamin C, which, along with the quercetin, battles cold and flu symptoms. Onions’ anti-inflammatory properties help fight the pain and swelling associated with osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis. Onions are also extremely rich in sulfur and they have antibiotic and antiviral properties, making them excellent for people who consume a diet high in protein, fat, or sugar, as they help cleanse the arteries and impede the growth of viruses, yeasts, and other disease-causing agents, which can build up in an imbalanced diet.How much: for all the health benefits onions provide, it would be ideal to eat one a day. However, if that’s not doable for you, add a few onions to your weekly grocery list and try to eat a little bit every day. All varieties are extremely good for you, but shallots and yellow onions lead the pack in antioxidant activity. Raw onions provide the best nutrition, but they’re still great for you when they’re lightly cooked. And cooking meat at high temperatures (such as on a grill) with onions can help reduce or counteract carcinogens produced by the meat.Tips:

  • Onions should be stored at room temperature, but if they bother your eyes when you cut them, try refrigerating them for an hour beforehand.
  • CarrotsCarrots are a great source of the potent antioxidants known as carotenoids. Diets high in carotenoids have been tied to a decreased risk in postmenopausal breast cancer as well as cancers of the bladder, cervix, prostate, colon, larynx, and esophagus. Conversely, diets low in carotenoids have been associated with chronic disease, including heart disease and various cancers. Research suggests that just one carrot per day could reduce your risk of lung cancer by half. Carrots may also reduce your risk of kidney and ovarian cancers. In addition to fighting cancer, the nutrients in carrots inhibit cardiovascular disease, stimulate the immune system, promote colon health, and support ear and eye health.

  • 6 Foods that Weaken Bones
  • Carrots contain calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin C, and an incredible amount of vitamin A. the alpha-carotene in carrots has shown promise in inhibiting tumor growth. Carrots also contain the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, which work together to promote eye health and prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. In Chinese medicine, carrots are used to treat rheumatism, kidney stones, tumors, indigestion, diarrhea, night blindness, ear infections, earaches, deafness, skin lesions, urinary tract infections, coughs, and constipation.How much: Eat a serving of carrots each day if you can, and enjoy them year-round. Carrots are good for you whether they’re raw or lightly cooked; cooking helps break down the tough fiber, making some of the nutrients more easily absorbed. for the best nutrition, go for whole carrots that are firm and fresh-looking. Precut baby carrots are made from whole carrots and, although they’re convenient, they tend to lose important nutrients during processing.Tips:

  • Remove carrot tops before storing them in the fridge, as the tops drain moisture from the roots and will cause the carrots to wilt.
  • Buy organic; conventionally grown carrots frequently show high pesticide residues.
  • Cabbage Cabbage is a powerhouse source of vitamins K and C. Just one cup supplies 91 percent of the recommended daily amount for vitamin K, 50 percent of vitamin C, good amounts of fiber, and decent scores of manganese, vitamin B6, folate, and more — and it’ll only cost you about 33 calories. Calorie for calorie, cabbage offers 11 percent more vitamin C than oranges.

  • Can Aspirin help Protect Against Colon Cancer?
  • Cabbage contains high levels of antioxidant sulforaphanes that not only fight free radicals before they damage DNA but also stimulate enzymes that detoxify carcinogens in the body. Researchers believe this one-two approach may contribute to the apparent ability of cruciferous vegetables to reduce the risk of cancer more effectively than any other plant food group. Numerous studies point to a strong association between diets high in cruciferous vegetables and a low incidence of lung, colon, breast, ovarian, and bladder cancers.Cabbage builds strong bones, dampens allergic reactions, reduces inflammation, and promotes gastrointestinal health. Cabbage is routinely juiced as a natural remedy for healing peptic ulcers due to its high glutamine content. it also provides significant cardiovascular benefit by preventing plaque formation in the blood vessels. In Chinese medicine, cabbage is used to treat constipation, the common cold, whooping cough, depression and irritability, and stomach ulcers. when eaten and used as a poultice, as a dual treatment, cabbage is helpful for healing bedsores, varicose veins, and arthritis.How much: The more cabbage you can include in your diet, the better. A study of Polish women found that those who ate at least four servings of cabbage per week as adolescents were 72 percent less likely to develop breast cancer later in life than their peers who consumed only one weekly serving or less.Tips:

  • Try raw sauerkraut. it has all the health properties of cabbage, plus some potent probiotics, which are excellent for digestive health.
  • Use the whole cabbage; the outer leaves contain a third more calcium than the inner leaves.
  • Both are nutritional stars, but red cabbages are far superior to the white variety, with about seven times more vitamin C and more than four times the polyphenols, which protect cells from oxidative stress and cancer.
  • Broccoli You’ll find it difficult to locate another single food source with as much naturally occurring health-promoting properties as broccoli. A single cup of steamed broccoli provides more than 200 percent of the RDA for vitamin C (again, more than oranges), nearly as much of vitamin K, and about half of the daily allowance for vitamin A, along with plentiful folate, fiber, sulfur, iron, B vitamins, and a whole host of other important nutrients. Calorie for calorie, broccoli contains about twice the amount of protein as steak — and a lot more protective phytonutrients. Broccoli’s phytochemicals fight cancer by neutralizing carcinogens and accelerating their elimination from the body, in addition to inhibiting tumors caused by chemical carcinogens. Studies show evidence that these substances help prevent lung and esophageal cancers and may play a role in lowering the risk of other cancers, including gastrointestinal cancer.

  • 10 Foods To With Overactive Bladder
  • Phytonutrients called indoles found in broccoli help protect against prostate, gastric, skin, breast, and cervical cancers. Some research suggests that indoles also protect the structure of DNA and may reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Extensive studies have linked broccoli to a 20 percent reduction in heart disease risk. In Chinese medicine, broccoli is used to treat eye inflammation.How much: If you can eat a little broccoli every day, your body will thank you for it. If you can’t swing it, aim for eating it as regularly as possible. Like many other vegetables, broccoli provides fantastic nutrition both in its raw form and when it’s properly cooked. Cooking reduces some of broccoli’s anticancer components, but lightly steaming it will preserve most of the nutrients. Broccoli is available fresh year-round in most areas, but if you can’t find it where you live, frozen broccoli is a good substitute.Tips:

  • Steaming or cooking broccoli lightly releases the maximum amount of the antioxidant sulforaphane.
  • KaleKale is highly nutritious, has powerful antioxidant properties, and is anti-inflammatory. One cup of cooked kale contains an astounding 1,328 percent of the RDA for vitamin K, 192 percent of the RDA for vitamin A, and 89 percent of the RDA for vitamin C. It’s also a good source of calcium and iron.

  • Will Lettuce Juice help Cure Lung Cancer?
  • Kale is in the same plant family as broccoli and cabbage, and, like its cruciferous cousins, it contains high levels of the cancer-fighting compound sulforaphane, which guards against prostate, gastric, skin, and breast cancers by boosting the body’s detoxification enzymes and fighting free radicals in the body. the indoles in kale have been shown to protect against breast, cervical, and colon cancers. the vitamin K in kale promotes blood clotting, protects the heart, and helps build strong bones by anchoring calcium to the bone. it also has more antioxidant power than spinach, protecting against free-radical damage. Kale is extra rich in beta-carotene (containing seven times as much as does broccoli), lutein, and zeaxanthin (ten times the amount in broccoli). In Chinese medicine, kale is used to help ease lung congestion.How much: Like cabbage, the more kale you can eat, the better. A daily serving is ideal. Eat it as much as you can, as long as you can find it fresh at your local grocery or farmer’s market. In some areas, it’s available all year; in others, it only makes an appearance during summer and fall.Tips:

  • Kale’s growing season extends nearly year-round; the only time it’s out of season is summer, when plenty of other leafy greens are abundant.
  • Steam or sauté kale on its own, or add it to soups and stews. Cooking helps tenderize the leaves.
  • Kale is also a great addition when it’s blended in fruit smoothies or juiced with other vegetables.
  • DandelionThe same pesky weed known for ruining lawns has a long history of being used as a healing herb in cultures around the globe. One cup of raw dandelion greens provides 535 percent of the RDA of vitamin K and 112 percent of the RDA for vitamin A. Dandelion greens are also a good source of vitamin C, calcium, iron, fiber, and potassium. among all foods, it’s one of the richest sources of vitamin A; among all green vegetables, it’s one of the best sources of beta-carotene.

  • 10 things Skin Says About Health
  • Dandelion has been used for centuries to treat hepatitis, kidney, and liver disorders such as kidney stones, jaundice, and cirrhosis. It’s routinely prescribed as a natural treatment for hepatitis C, anemia, and liver detoxification (poor liver function has been linked to numerous conditions, from indigestion and hepatitis to irritability and depression). as a natural diuretic, dandelion supports the entire digestive system and increases urine output, helping flush toxins and excess salt from the kidneys. the naturally occurring potassium in dandelions helps prevent the loss of potassium that can occur with pharmaceutical diuretics.Dandelion promotes digestive health by stimulating bile production, resulting in a gentle laxative effect. Inulin, a naturally occurring soluble fiber in dandelion, further aids digestion by feeding the healthy probiotic bacteria in the intestines; it also increases calcium absorption and has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels, therefore being useful in treating diabetes. both the dandelion leaves and root are used to treat heartburn and indigestion. the pectin in dandelion relieves constipation and, in combination with vitamin C, reduces cholesterol. Dandelion is excellent for reducing edema, bloating, and water retention; it can also help reduce high blood pressure. on top of all that, dandelion contains multiple antidiarrheal and antibacterial properties.In Chinese medicine, dandelion is used in combination with other herbs to treat hepatitis and upper respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. the sap from the stem and root is a topical remedy for warts. Imagine — all this from a lowly weed!How much: How much dandelion to incorporate into your diet boils down to two factors: availability and personal preference. Dandelion greens are considered a specialty item in some areas and therefore can be difficult to find. they also have a pungent taste, and people tend to love or hate the flavor. If you can find fresh dandelion greens and you enjoy the taste, make them a regular part of your diet.Tips:

  • Use the root in soups or sauté it on its own.
  • If the raw leaves are too bitter for you, try them lightly steamed or sautéed.
