7 reasons to switch from freezing and acid to a capsule, if the warts on your hands have started to spread
If one became several after you treated it, the treatment is the likeliest reason. To get rid of them forever, you need to go from the inside: here is why, and something you take that never touches the wart.
You had one wart, on a finger or in your palm. You did the sensible thing and had it treated: frozen, burned with acid, or cut out. Now you have several, and the new ones came up right next to the old one. By now you may be covering them with bandages or tape, or pulling on gloves to cook.
That is not bad luck, and you did not catch it again. One person put it down to this:
“I also believe when I had the one wart froze off that it causes micro tears or something and is why so many warts appeared in its place (the clusters on my palm)”
Another had one cut out: “Soon I had four warts in place of the one I got removed.”
Here is what the box does not tell you. A wart is an infection living in your skin, and everything that is put on a wart breaks the skin around it. Broken skin is how the infection gets next door, and on a hand, next door is the next finger.
You followed the instructions. The instructions were aimed at the lump.
Moskira Propolis is not put on the wart at all. It is a capsule of pure propolis, the resin bees line the hive with to keep infection out. You may know it as bee resin. You take one a day for three months, the dose and the time used in a clinical trial of propolis on warts. Here are seven reasons to switch.
| Acid, a file, freezing | Moskira Propolis |
|---|---|
| Break the skin around the wart | Touches nothing |
| Carry the infection into the skin next door | Works from the inside |
| Treat one wart at a time | Reaches all of them at once |
| One becomes several | Nothing to spread |
| Weeks of acid, tape and filing | One capsule a day |
Nothing touches the wart, so the treatment cannot spread it
Think about what each treatment does to the skin.
Acid softens it and makes it peel. A file or a nail clipper scrapes and cuts it. Freezing leaves a blister. Every one of them opens the skin right beside a wart.
The infection lives in the top layer of skin and spreads through small breaks in it. So each round of treatment hands it the skin next door. Dermatologists see the same thing with picking, biting and shaving.
“I have completely stopped self medicating my hands because it made my warts spread like wildfire.”
A capsule is swallowed. Nothing softens, scrapes or blisters your skin.
So for the first time, treating it cannot be the thing that spreads it.
It works on all of them at once, through your own defense
With acid and freezing you treat one wart at a time, and while you work on the first, the fourth is getting started on the next finger.
A capsule does not pick. Its compounds are in your blood within the hour, and blood goes to all of your skin: every wart you can see, the skin between them, and the places the next one was about to come up.
What it does there is the part that ends a wart. Your body has not cleared the infection because it cannot see it: it stays in the outer skin, never enters the blood and causes no swelling, so the alarm is never raised. Your immune system is not weak. It has not been told. When it does notice, warts go, sometimes all of them at once. One person wrote: “I went to sleep one night, and they were gone with no treatment.”
Propolis works on that defense. In adults taking 500 mg a day, white blood cells released more of the signals that start an immune response, from the fourth day.
So you stop chasing them one by one, and start on the thing that ends all of them.
No acid on healthy skin, no file, no blister
You know the routine: the acid that runs onto the good skin, the white, raw ring around the wart, the file, the tape that will not stay on a knuckle.
None of it is needed. One capsule with a glass of water, in the morning.
So your evenings over the bathroom sink are over the day you start.
No more bandages or gloves, and no new ones to count
Spreading takes more than skin. On a hand it takes the things you do in front of people: cooking, a handshake, paying at a register.
“I’m tired of people asking why my hands are covered in bandaids.”
“I couldn't use my hands to do basic things like cooking and eating. I had to glove up.”
“had to buy so many tapes and looked like i got out of jiu jitsu gym cuz all the tapes on my finger”
Every new one makes the next one feel certain. That is the part that wears people down: not the warts themselves, but the count.
This course is aimed at the thing that ends all of them, and at no new ones coming: nothing is breaking the skin any more, and the capsule is working on all of them at once, from the inside.
So the aim is a day when you hold out your hand and do not think about it.
You are not guessing: bee resin (propolis) was tested for three months, against echinacea and against placebo
After acid and freezing, the fair question is whether a capsule for a wart does anything at all.
It has been tested. In a trial, 135 people with warts were put in three groups: a propolis capsule every day, echinacea, or a capsule with nothing in it. It ran for three months.
On propolis, about three in four of the people with common or flat warts were clear. Common warts are the kind on hands and fingers. Both other groups did worse.
The trial capsule was 500 mg of propolis, once a day. So is this one, and one bottle is the same three months.
So you are taking the dose and the time that were tested, not trying something and hoping.
You get a week-by-week plan, so you can see it working
A capsule gives you nothing to watch in the first weeks, which is hard when you have been counting them every night.
So here is a plan for the three months: one photo a week, and three things to look for. The first of them is the one you have been waiting for: no new ones.
The three months, and what to look for
So you look once a week, and you know what you are looking for.
Three months cost less than a sixth of one freeze, and you get it back if they are still there
Freeze kits, acid and visits add up. One person added up theirs: “i had spent over $2,000 on treating this wart and saw NO improvement”
.
One bottle of Moskira Propolis is the full three months: 90 capsules, one a day. It is $34.99, with free shipping.
Take the whole bottle. If the warts are still there after three months, write to us within 100 days of delivery and we refund you. You do not send anything back.
So the worst that can happen is three months in which you did not spread it further, at no cost.
Good to know
The three-month course
You can buy another freeze kit and keep filing. You have seen where that goes: one became several.
Or you can take one capsule a day for three months, touch nothing, and get your money back if they are still there.
