Duct tape and raisins

OK, a while back I did a post on duct tape and its use in removing warts. I had forgotten it until the other day when some folks were visiting ad she said she was advised by her doctor to put duct tape on a wart she had on her foot.

I have many "aging" brown spots, but two of them on my cheek were getting big and were a problem when I shaved. So, I tried the tape on them. In a few days they had reduced greatly in size, and now they are almost gone. I put the tape on them twice a day. This morning I had to look in the mirror to find them, could not feel them.

Two day ago I figured I would try it on one of the aging spots on my cheek. After three days it has lost most of its dark color and seems to be going away. I will keep you posted. If it works on aging spots it will be miraculous, I have many of them to work on.

I also did a post a long time ago, three years,  on white raisins soaked in gin being good for arthritis. I found them a few days ago while rummaging through our kitchen cabinet. Whoa, pungent aroma. Three days ago I ate 9 of them, as instructed, have been doing it each day.

I have arthritis bad in the lower neck and lower back. After three days of the raisins I have less discomfort.

I don't know if this works for everyone, but they have for me. Duct tape and raisins.

Duct Tape to Remove Warts

In 2002, a group of doctors compared duct tape's effectiveness with liquid nitrogen in removing warts.

After two months of wearing duct tape on a daily basis and using a pumice stone about once a week to exfoliate the dead skin, 85 percent of patients' warts were gone, whereas freezing only removed 60 percent.

"The question is whether there is something in the chemical adhesive itself, or if the occlusion (suffocation) causes the destruction of the wart," says New York City-based dermatologist, Robin Blum, MD.

"The other thinking is that the duct tape causes irritation, which stimulates our body's immune cells to attack the wart."
