I am not a fan of taking pills, I find them hard to swallow and they taste the worst. I wouldn’t take them unless necessary. Honestly before all the allergy and the CPT (carpal tunnel syndrome) I don’t have any maintenance vitamins or supplements. I just feel I don’t really need to take all these stuff in me.
I guess I am just being stubborn. I mean our ancestors don’t take these stuff and they lived a hundred and now that we are taking so many supplements and vitamins and all those supposedly healthy stuff people only live less than a hundred this days. With all this precaution in the food we eat and the vitamins we should take the rise of some dreaded diseases and illnesses continue.
However, the logic behind all these supplements may come from the more polluted air, water and food we take. The pesticides, the smoke and smog, and all the trash harm the environment more than we ever think off and so we need to find something to boost the health benefits we get from the food we take.
I am not so much particular about iodine supplements but I chanced upon this health forum and I was surprised by how many people talk about the effects of iodine deficiency and it’s importance in our health and well-being. There are so many people responding on the threads about iodine it’s amazing.
Another thread that has gained so much popularity in this site was about alternative medicines and therapies. There is this funny and yet amazing thread about how to remove warts by using duct tape.
I don’t know if this is something that has already been around umpteen jillion times or not but I thought I’d share it because, for some reason, it seems important, especially to those of us who’ve been tormented by warts at some time in our lives.
It seems that we’ve yet found another use for good ol’ duct tape. It can now be used as a wart remover. What? Yep, that’s right, a wart remover. Here’s how it’s done:
If you have a big, ugly wart somewhereand you want to get rid of it, cut a piece of duct tape to about the size of the wart and stick it on top of the offending wart. Leave it on for a minimum of six days. After that, pull it off and put on another piece of duct tape. Eventually, the wart will disappear. How does that work? Here’s the theory:
Evidently, when you place the duct tape over the wart, it causes the skin in and around the wart to become irritated and inflamed. When this occurs, the body’s own immune system kicks in and goes to the area of irritation to find out what’s going on. When it gets there is finds the offending virus that is causing the wart in the first place. It either kills the virus out right or it chases the virus out into the body where the immune system easily kills it. Once the virus is killed, the wart disappears.
Now, does this work for everyone? I don’t know but from what I’m reading this method is becoming quite popular just because it seems to work.
It may not work on plantar warts or genital warts but is certainly seems to be working on common warts, usually found on the hands, fingers or arms. I guess you could try it on genital warts if you can reach them easily or have someone else put the tape on
