Did You Know...
... that duct tape is more effective in treating warts than cryotherapy -- and way less painful?
When news giant CBS covered the duct tape treatment phenomenon on their web blog Healthwatch, they did an excellent job of summarizing the various studies done on the duct tape method so far, including one published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine:
85% of Patients Saw Their Warts Disappear  In the study, patients wore duct tape over their warts for 6 days. Then they removed the tape, soaked the area in water and used an emery board or pumice stone to scrape the spot. The tape was reapplied the next morning. The treatment was continued for 2 months, or until the wart went away. Of the 26 patients treated with duct tape, 85% were successfully rid of their warts. |
Compare that to the 40% of patients who suffered through rounds of cryotherapy (the painful application of liquid nitrogen to the afflicted areas) only to find that, after the study was over, their warts had persisted.What the Experts Say
According to Dr. Dean "Rick" Focht III -- one of the researchers on this study -- duct tape works by irritating the warts, which jump starts your immune system to attack the foreign growths.
In his interview with CBS, Dr. Focht theorized if the duct tape works through irritation -- and since no other tapes were tested -- it's possible that there's nothing about the "grey, heavy-duty, fabric-backed" material of the tape in particular that makes it so effective.
But when a study was done among older adults, duct tape was effective in removing warts only 21% of the time, no more effective than a cotton-tape bandage. When the study was completed, however, the researchers learned that the clear variety of duct tape contains no rubber, like the traditional tape used in the first study. This detail points back to the question of whether the cure is in fact dependent on the good old-fashioned silver duct tape.
Dr. Rachel Wenner of the University of Minnesota says, "theoretically, the rubber adhesive could somehow stimulate the immune system or irritate the skin in a different manner."Science Meets Common Sense
Duct tape's ability to treat warts is backed as much by common sense as by science. Warts require air to survive. When constantly wrapped in duct tape, they are unable to get it. Essentially, covering your warts in duct tape is equivalent to suffocating the annoying growths.
The treatment has incited a lot of skepticism because it does, after all, sound a little far-fetched. But listen to what one previous doubter had to say about what happened when he used duct tape to treat his 8-year-old son's plantar wart:
| "This business of treating warts in children with duct tape ... I've never really believed in it ... Then my 8-year-old developed quite an impressive toe wart ... It bugged him, but there was absolutely no way he was going to have it incinerated or freeze-burned ... So, we tried the weird duct tape treatment ... Over the next few days, when we reapplied the tape, the wart started to look sickly [then, after a few more days] my son proudly displayed [the] crater where the wart had been. It had fallen off." |
When faced with results like that, even skeptics have to admit that duct tape has a considerable degree of efficacy. And since it's inexpensive, easy, and safe, it may just be something you'll want to keep on hand in your first aid kit.

Inadvertently Led to the Discovery of ...The Best-Kept Anti-Aging Secret in the World S ometimes the most astonishing discoveries happen in the least likely places. That's what happened in 1980, when an entrepreneurial family from Chile decided that exporting snails (also called escargot) to gourmet European restaurants might make a lucrative business.
What happened next has become one of the most remarkable advances to date in modern anti-aging skincare.
The story begins when this Chilean family launched their snail farm -- an enterprise which involved the hazardous work of building snail cages. It was an undertaking that caused workers' hands to sustain tiny cuts and scrapes all over. Those constant skin abrasions -- and how they disappeared like magic -- were the beginning of what eventually became a much more exciting endeavor than exporting snails to fancy restaurants.
To their astonishment, the workers noticed that the cuts and scrapes on their hands never become infected or irritated from handling the snails -- in fact, their skin actually healed beautifully and became softer, smoother, and more supple than ever before.
At the time, the family's eldest son was an undergraduate medical student, and his mother asked him to research the connection between the handling of snails and the complete, scar-free healing of the workers' hands. It was discovered that a type of gel secreted by snails to help them move contained natural cellular regenerating agents.
An additional decade of research revealed that the gel from these snails -- officially the Helix Aspersa Muller variety of the Cryptomphalus aspersa species -- contained allantoin, collagen, elastin, and glycolic acid, all of which are now highly prized anti-aging ingredients.
The Best-Kept Anti-Aging Secret in The World
Fifteen years after that Chilean snail farm opened, the first skin serum based on the remarkable secretions of those Cryptomphalus aspersa snails hit the market. Today, the possibility of skin regeneration from this discovery may be the best-kept anti-aging secret in the world. It's still a little-known secret ... despite clearly proven results.
For example, the journal Skin Pharmacology and Physiology published a study confirming the rejuvenating benefits of the enzymes contained in the gel secretions, showing the molecular basis for this remarkable substance.
They concluded that the enzymes:
- Possess skin-regenerative properties
- Contain powerful antioxidants to fight skin damage
- Provide cellular regeneration

One highly respected proponent of this research is Dr. Al Sears, one of the nation's first board-certified, anti-aging physicians and one of today's leading voices in anti-aging and alternative medicine. Dr. Sears has seen more than 20,000 patients at his thriving private practice in Royal Palm Beach, Florida, and he's written 14 books and hundreds of health and wellness articles on alternative medicine and anti-aging through his Health Confidential and Doctor's House Call e-newsletters.
Dr. Sears travels the world conducting field research on natural cures, and it was on a trip to the Peruvian Amazon where he "accidentally" discovered the secret of the Chilean farm workers.
The revelation occurred when Dr. Sears noticed that the Peruvian women he met had radiant smooth skin that defied their age. He found out that a serum based on the Cryptomphalus aspersa secretions had been available in Peru for more than a decade, while remaining unknown to the outside world.
"I have good reason to believe the enzymes from Cryptomphalus aspersa could be the best skin beautifier and anti-aging tonic in the world," Dr. Sears says.
After extensive research and lab testing, Dr. Sears's team of world-class product developers combined a stabilized form of the most potent enzymes from the Cryptomphalus aspersa. When lab trials were completed and the resulting gel was introduced into Dr. Sears's clinical practice, the response from his patients was nothing short of overwhelming.
"I'm 57 and am always looking for something to ease the redness of my face and help keep my skin smooth and soft and combat any future wrinkles," one of Dr. Sears's patients confided after testing the gel. "I think I've found what I need."
Another patient was amazed to watch her C-section scar fade away, saying she used the new gel for just 4 weeks before seeing great results. "I also like the way it feels. It goes on cool and clean, not greasy or oily. And it smells fresh. I'll definitely keep using it," she told Dr. Sears. |
How Do Snails Produce a Gel that Erases Wrinkles -- and Why Does it Give Such Spectacular Results?
H elix Aspersa Müller is a snail that has endured Earth's harshest conditions for more than 600 million years. One of the snail's most unique (and valuable!) defense mechanisms is the secretion of a complex glycol-conjugate that helps it to quickly repair and soothe damage to its own skin.
Naturalists and zoologists have long recognized that when injured by birds or other predators, snails have the ability to repair their own eyes and mouths by "bubbling" onto the wounded area some of the same secretion they use to aid their crawling. Snails also use this enzyme as a kind of shield when they hibernate. That's why when the farm workers handled it, their skin softened and regenerated -- and the appearance of spots and blemishes faded away.Clinical Research with Chernobyl Radiation Victims
For years scientists across multiple disciplines have studied snails and their secretions. Dr. R. Abad Iglesias, a clinical oncologist, conducted the first research into the clinical possibilities of the active substances found in snail secretions, which proved effective on radiodermatitis after the Chernobyl accident.
Radiodermatitis is a skin disease associated with prolonged exposure to radiation. Continuing research has shown that acute and chronic radiodermatitis patients clearly improve when treated with a gel containing the snail secretion.
These exciting research results inspired other researchers to continue studying how this discovery might also help other forms of skin damage -- ranging from acne, aging, wounds, surgery, stretching, or adverse effects from medical treatments. Does for the Skin What It Can No Longer Do For Itself
H elix Aspersa Muller concentrate provides human skin with substances it can no longer produce for itself, and that's why it's powerful in recovering and regenerating the skin. This new emphasis in anti-aging skin care -- replacing biologically active substances that the human skin can no longer produce sufficient quantities of (or at all) -- is something Dr. Sears cites as fundamental to advances in anti-aging.
Dr. Sears also stresses the concept of ingredient synergy. When the right ingredients are combined in a topical skin product, each ingredient's potency can be dramatically increased. Dr. Sears enhanced the active potential of the snail enzymes by suspending them in a gel optimized with a combination of power ingredients that include ... - Superoxide dismutase -- a powerful antioxidant that reduces free-radical damage and repairs superficial damage from cuts, scrapes, burns, and sun exposure
- Olive leaf extract -- rich in antioxidants and an aid for skin elasticity
- Montmorillonite -- nutrient-rich "bentonite" clay discovered in the French Alps and included in many of the world's most exclusive facial treatments
The overwhelmingly enthusiastic reaction from his patients-- combined with observational results of lab tests -- led Dr. Sears to make the enzyme-rich gel available to the public. Go here to find out how you, too, can experience the same anti-aging, regenerative secret first discovered by Chilean farm workers whose skin defied aging. It's the same secret the women of Peru have closely guarded for years. Get the full story here. = = = = = = = = = =
