"Megadosing with Vitamin C has shown itself to be effective against numerous viral and bacterial infections, although before undertaking any self-medicating program you should consult with a naturopathic or holistic medical practitioner." Reference
"Deficiency in vitamin A, C and Zinc have all been related to an increase of viral infection ( warts are caused by human papilloma virus - HPV). These weaken the body's ability to fight off everyday viruses like HPV." Reference. Arginine exacerbates all viral problems, so this table of values in common foods is worth review.
"Caused by a virus, mildly contagious, and usually unsightly, warts indicate a sluggish immune system. Combating warts is a two-step process: adopting behaviors that support immunity and using plants from your garden to destroy the wart itself. In fact, herbal remedies using echinacea and garlic can be used to prevent and eliminate warts." Reference

EMOTIONAL STRESS
Because genital warts are considered a sexually transmitted disease, diagnosis will often have an emotional impact on the sufferer. Many people will experience a whole gamut of feelings including guilt, fear, rage, isolation and helplessness. HPV is one of the most common viruses in the world and recent studies of college age females showed a near 50% infection - so, you are not alone. Emotional health has a direct impact on your physical health. Accept and deal with these feelings to get the best positive attitude. You can contact your local STD clinic for a list of support groups available in your area. There are many support groups and message boards available online. Through seeing other people's experiences, you will see HPV is a very manageable virus.
Since most of these natural remedies are considered reasonably safe, they may be worth use rather than invasive and costly medical treatments. You should discuss any alternative treatment strategies with your health care practitioner before starting and may need to seek one of the ever increasing number of doctors who are open to these highly effective natural options.

Folic Acid and Vitamin C
recent studies have shown that beta-carotene, folic acid and vitamin C are also helpful in the treatment of cervical dysplasia. Because cervical dysplasia can lead to cancer, beta-carotene, folic acid and vitamin C are often prescribed to women who have HPV infections, in order to help assure that the HPV does not progress to cervical cancer.
The following external cures for warts are also of interest.
A recent study published in The International Journal of Dermatology found that an extract of garlic effectively treated warts. These small skin growths caused by the human papillomavirus are spread through contact with warts on other people, which commonly occur on fingers, hands and the bottoms of feet. All of us are frequently exposed to wart viruses, but our immune systems usually protect us. Some warts go away without treatment, while others tend to persist or reappear. Conventional therapies include topical salicylic acid (to slowly peel away the affected skin)... cryosurgery (freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen)... and surgical removal -- but these approaches don't always work. Even worse, they may be painful and can result in scarring.
Liquid garlic extract was applied to warts or corns twice daily. Within one to two weeks of use, all 23 participants' warts completely disappeared -- and none reappeared. The control group without garlic extract did not show any improvement. The garlic extract also resolved 80% of corns. An earlier study with garlic cloves applied topically found all the warts cleared completely after an average of nine weeks.
Garlic extract should be used as a first-line therapy for warts, corns and calluses -- before other conventional therapies. A good option is Kyolic liquid garlic - available at health-food stores. Check first with a physician, then apply two to three drops to the affected areas daily. Start slowly with very small doses and build up, particularly on sensitive areas.

Make your own Salt and Onion Juice or Garlic Juice
Placing salt on onion or garlic slices and then letting them sit in the refrigerator overnight can yield a juice which you can apply to your warts. As with many treatments, this juice will help to dry out the warts while also treating the underlying local infection that created the wart in the first place.
Black Salve AKA Bloodroot when used with care, has been highly effective on warts that were resistant when more common topical options such as: Salysilic acid, Nail Polish, Duct Tape, Freezing, Castor Oil and Apple cider vinegar
There are numerous cases where Bloodroot/Black Salve has worked on even the most resistant Plantar's warts.
