Talking about "alternative medicine" on another thread. I had a plantar wart. On the bottom of my foot. Front right. For about 5 years. It just wouldn't go away. They don't go away. It hurt. Every year or so I'd get the fingernail cutters out and pick away at it so it didn't hurt so much when I walked with no shoes on. I don't like going to doctors. I don't trust them. So I said to hell with this. It's long past the time I did something about it myself. So I went on the internet. I googled "How to get rid of a plantar wart". As you can imagine, there's no shortage of stuff on the internet re: how to get rid of a plantar wart. There are numerous articles and long forum threads with countless comments by people who apparently have nothing better to do with their time than discuss plantar warts and various ideas about how to get rid of them. I won't go into all the offered answers, but there is one that kept re-appearing. Duct tape. Yeah. You put duct tape on it. Hahahahaha Supposed to leave it on there for a month. So I thought what the hell? I got duct tape. What do I have to lose? The worse that could happen is it's still there a month later. I ripped off a square 2" x 2" and put it on there. Duct tape doesn't come off. Not in the shower. Not in bed. Not in your shoe. It just stays there right where it was put. A week later it started to come off so I got another square to replace it. I put a drop of tea tree oil under the duct tape this time. If you're getting bored with my story, don't worry because it's almost over. It took a month. The last time I took the duct tape off, the plantar wart was gone. It hasn't came back. That was a few months ago. True story.

I had a plantar wart years ago. Saw a pediatrist, he used a circular bandaid like thing with a raised center which contained a type of acid I think. It had to stay on for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, it was gone, leaving a hole where the wart used to be. It healed by itself in about 3 weeks after taking off the bandage/bandaid type thing.
That's called "Casey Anthony Treatment". Get's rid of a lot of things.
I know, Bad Taste. :-(
I thought about what I said about doctors. That I don't trust them. Not entirely true. They have their place and can be useful for many things. Like a broken bone. Or diagnosing a problem. To name a couple. To say I don't trust them may be an over- generalization. If it weren't for doctors and medicine I'd be dead. I had my appendix removed when I was eleven. It probably would have killed me. Other things too like broken bones etc, but I should retract that I don't trust them. I just try to avoid them if possible.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." ~ Ben Franklin "For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.” ~ Patrick Henry
Yeah, like gonorrhea. A guy I knew sat next to someone on a Greyhound bus who had a friend who had an uncle whose wife's mother's first husband's brother had it once......
Dude.
Their symbol turns me off a little ... I don't care for snakes !
"The real deal is this: the ‘royalty’ controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen
