I and my kids and grandkids have had lots of warts over the years, and
have never seen one disappear without doing something. As I said though,
just believing that something will work is often enough.  But I have had
100% success on 4 different people including myself with a combination
of Aloe Vera and EIS mixed together.  It has to be used immediately
after mixing though as the aloe vera causes aggregation of settling of
the silver if left for a few days (or the acidity can be neutralized
with sodium bicarbonate and it will then last for a few weeks
refrigerated).

There has been a lot of discussion on this issue on other lists.  A
couple of references indicate that silver is stopped by the blood brain
barrier, but there are many on these lists that do not support that
view. I have looked for several years for definitive data on that issue
and have been unable to find anything.  To add to the confusion, there
is at least one reference that indicates that the citrate form of
metals, such as silver will allow them to cross the barrier, but at
least for silver, maintaining a citrate form of the ionic portion should
be impossible once it is exposed to the HCl in the stomach and the NaCl
in the blood.  Also the reference I found that indicated that silver
does not cross the barrier also indicated that silver is toxic to brain
cells, but I can find absolutely not real research on the issue.

Most modern day Pakinsons I believe is actually misdiagnosed aspertame
poisoning, also known as Rumsfield disease.  For those people, simply
avoiding this neurotoxin is sufficient to reverse the "disease" for
those that have not sustained sufficient damage. Many of us feel that
Michael Fox, spokesman for diet Pepsi, who drinks a lot of these is one
such case. I have heard reports of stopping the progression of
Parkenson's and some recovery with silver, but have no first hand
experience with that.  With diseases of that nature, simply killing the
pathogen is not sufficient for full recovery if too much damage is done.

The general consensus of those who are researching "silver solution" is
that it has no effect on Alzheimers or prion diseases.  It may help
prevent Alzheimers if Alzheimers is caused by a pathogen, but then again
it may not if it does not cross the blood brain barrier.  Testing for
prevention would definitely be a long term study which has not to my
knowledge ever been done.  As far a prion diseases such as mad cow, I
consider it extremely unlikely that it would have any effect. These are
misfolded proteins, and are not alive by any definition of the word I
know of, and I am not aware of any indication that they are related to
microbes at all.

Many people on the silver list that I am a member of likely have
relatives who have Alzheimers. I have never heard of anyone ever getting
better. You may be right that it would allow repair if it got in the
brain, but if it does not cross the barrier, then that will not occur,
and if it did cross the barrier, then it would likely be toxic to brain
cells.

My opinion is that it does not.  But I have not proof nor can I find any
research that supports or invalidates that position.

I would NOT consider doing that!  If it does not cross the blood brain
barrier, then it likely is a toxin to brain cells.  Before any
researcher ever considered doing that, then animal studies should
certainly be done.  Now many people have received silver by IV without
any negative consequences, but I would never consider injecting directly
into the brain.

Oh, yeh, for mice, sure you might give it a try. Be sure to do a control
group since it is likely that it is toxic to brain cells. But do mice
get Parkinsons and Alzheimers?

If you do this research I would love to hear the results. Also if you
can, give the mice some orally and then biopsy the brain to see if it
crosses the barrier or not. This is just the kind of research that needs
but be done, but it will not be done by the pharms since there is no
money in it unless it can be patented.  I am not sure if you can say
categorically that if it does not does not pass the barrier in a mouse,
the same would apply to a human, but I think it most likely that they
would behave the same.

 Warts are  caused by viruses, which are killed by silver  ions. Here

 The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy
 Chapter 115. Viral Skin Infections

 Warts (Verrucae)

 Common, contagious, epithelial tumors caused by at least 60 types of
 human papillomavirus. (See also Genital Warts in Ch. 164.)

 Warts may appear at any age but are most frequent in  older children
 and uncommon in the elderly. Warts may be single or multiple and may
 develop by  autoinoculation.  Appearance   and  size  depend  on the
 location and on the degree of irritation and trauma. The  course may
 be variable.  Complete  regression after many months  is  usual, but
 warts may  persist for years and may recur at the same  or different
 sites. Some warts can become malignant (see Table 115-1).

 The relative importance of humoral and cell-mediated immunity is not
 clear. Because  wart virus particles exist in  the  outer epithelium
 (granular layer and beyond), they are unlikely to become deep enough
 to    serve   as   effective   antigens.   However,   patients  with
 immunosuppression from organ transplants or other causes may develop
 generalized cutaneous  infections   with   many   types  of viruses,
 including  human   papillomavirus   (HPV),   cytomegalovirus, herpes
 simplex virus,  and varicella-zoster virus. This suggests  that some
 immune  mechanisms   are   significant.   In   addition, spontaneous
 disappearance of  multiple warts in immunologically  normal patients
 who later develop lifelong immunity needs further explanation.

 Symptoms and Signs

 Common warts  (verrucae  vulgaris)   are   almost  universal  in the
 population. They  are sharply demarcated,  rough-surfaced,  round or
 irregular, firm,  and  light   gray,  yellow,  brown,  or gray-black
 nodules 2  to  10 mm in diameter. They appear  most  often  on sites
 subject to trauma (eg, fingers, elbows, knees, face) but  may spread
 elsewhere. Periungual  warts (around the nail plate) are  common, as
 are plantar warts (on the sole of the foot; see Plate  115-1), which
 are flattened  by pressure and surrounded  by  cornified epithelium.
 They may  be exquisitely tender and can be distinguished  from corns
 and calluses by their tendency to pinpoint bleeding when the surface
 is pared away. Mosaic warts are plaques formed by the coalescence of
 myriad smaller, closely set plantar warts. Filiform warts  are long,
 narrow, frondlike  growths  usually on the eyelids,  face,  neck, or
 lips. This morphologically distinctive variant of the common wart is
 benign and  easy   to   treat.   Flat   warts  (smooth, flat-topped,
 yellow-brown papules) are more common in children and  young adults,
 most often  on  the  face and along scratch  marks,  and  develop by
 autoinoculation. Variants  of  the common wart that  are  of unusual
 shape (eg,  pedunculated,  or  resembling  a  cauliflower)  are most
 frequent on  the head and neck, especially on the scalp  and bearded
 region.

 Diagnosis

 Wart viruses contain circular, double-stranded DNA, with  about 8000
 base pairs. Each type is indicated by a number and  generally causes
 clinically distinct  lesions  (see  Table 115-1).  To  qualify  as a
 separate type, DNA cross-hybridization must be < 50%;  for subtypes,
 > 50%.  Although DNA is distinctive, most HPVs,  including  those of
 bovine origin,  share   a   protein   antigen   that   can  be shown
 histologically on fixed tissue with a test that is positive  for all
 types of  HPV  and  is   useful   for  diagnosis.  When  HPVs become
 oncogenic, however, they no longer stain positive and cannot be seen
 with the electron microscope. Oncogenic HPV DNA can thus be found in
 malignant warts  by modern molecular  hybridization  DNA techniques.
 DNA typing is now available in only a few research  laboratories but
 is important for prognosis of genital warts and their consequences.

 Warts are lumps of thickened and hardened skin.

 Warts are caused by a virus which infects skin cells and changes the
 way they  grow.  Warts are caused by the Human  Papilloma  Virus and
 there are 65 different Human Papilloma Viruses.

 Warts are contagious; you can catch them from other people.

 Warts usually  go away by themselves but it usually takes  between 6
 months and two years.

 You should never pick at warts. Picking at them could make  the wart
 virus spread through your body in your blood stream and  warts could
 pop up on other parts of your body.

 What is HPV (wart virus)?

 COMMON WARTS  can be found on the hands, feet,  forearems,  and face
 and range  in  size from a pinhead to a small  bean.  They  can also
 occur on the voice box or the larynx and cause hoarseness.  They are
 rough, irregular skin growths, and are caused by a virus.

 Highly contagious, they can be spread by picking,  trimming, biting,
 or touching  them. They can also be spread on the  face  by shaving.
 Common warts most often occur onskin that is continuosly  exposed to
 friction, trauma,  or abrasion. They may be flat o  rraised,  dry or
 moist, and  have  a   rough   and   pitted  surface  that  is either
 flesh-colored or darker than the surrounding skin. They typically do
 not cause pain or itching and can be left to disappear on  their own
 unless they become bothersome.

 Warts are  due  to an infection of the skin by  the  human papilloma
 virus. A number of different types of the human papilloma  virus can
 infect the skin.

 Human papilloma virus

 HPV - or Human Papilloma Virus - is commonly called the  wart virus.
 More than  80  types  of HPV have been  identified,  and  they cause
 problems ranging from warts on the hands and feet, to  genital warts
 and pre-cancerous changes to the cells of the cervix.

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/ask_doctor/human_papilloma_virus.shtml

 --------------------------------------------------------------------

 One of the most common human infections in the world is  that caused
 by Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV, which is commonly known as "wart
 virus", is  a microscopic virus particle that infects  the  skin. In
 the case of HPV, the infection is actually localized directly to the
 infected point in the skin, as opposed to herpes simplex,  where the
 virus goes  through the skin and into the nerve cells,  traveling up
 the nerve  cell connection to the nerve ganglia by the  spinal cord,
 where the  virus lives. With HPV, the infection is  actually  in the
 skin.

 Warts and verrucas

 Reviewed by Dr John Pillinger, GP

 What are warts?

 Warts can be transmitted indirectly, especially via hard floors like
 those found in swimming pools.

 Warts are caused by a viral infection in the skin. Ordinary warts on
 the hands and feet are caused by viruses, which only  affect humans.
 More than 60 different viruses that cause warts are known.
