Hey everybody. I recently talked to a friend who had non-genital hpv breakouts. Serious warts on the hands and feet. He had one on his foot that had been there for 20 years, and no amount of acid seemed to get rid of it forever, it'd just come right back.

At one point he heard that Zinc was good for the immune system, and figured, what the heck right? His wife was crazy about these pills called "Wellness" though he was always somewhat skeptical. He read the label, and saw that they were high in zinc. He started taking the pill every day, and in a few days, the wart on his hand flaked right off, and within a few more days, the ginormous one on his foot began to shrink then it too came off. He's been taking them every day since. Does he need to continue taking them to prevent a recurrence? I don't know, he doesn't know, but the pill seems to be boosting his overall health level, and you can't argue with that.

So, I'm here to say, I'm gonna look into this particular pill, and start taking some zinc myself. My doctor told me that there were no signs of HPV visible, and that it's quite possible I DIDN'T catch it from my ex-partner (whose doctor was also skeptical about her "wart" but treated it with acid just to be sure), but still, there's no reason NOT to boost my immune system, I figure. Right?

Just wanted to share that with everybody.
