My big warts were itching like crazy and I had several small ones. It took all the small warts off and I've had no further problems with them. I had to take bloodroot internally to stop the big ones from itching. I guess it depends on how long you've had it and how deep they go. I agree with the lady who wrote the book Cancer Salves. She says you need to cleanse internally. If I could do it over, I'd start by cleasning my system and taking it internally for a while.

Your poor kid. I've had that done...it is uncomfortable! Great that you are into alternatives. Oh, and you should see the scar I have! I had a pedicurist once insist on trying to remove the scar thinking it was a big callous. I'm like "touch it and I can't guarnatee that I won't kick you off that stool." Geez.

I've had great success with Indian Herb, but never used straight bloodroot. I've also not tried it on plantar warts. Aren't they viral? Maybe you should be using it internally? I was always curious about this b/c I had a few, but never looked deeply into it b/c it was some time ago and I've not gotten them anymore (makes me wonder if the virus went deeper into my system???).
