Imiquimod for Genital Warts

Imiquimod is a patient-applied immunomodulatory topical treatment of Genital Warts. Imiquimod induces macrophages to secrete cytokines IL-2, IFN-? 1 and 2, IFN-?, IFN-? and TGF-?. IFN-? is probably the most important cytokine inducing genital wart clearance. This duration of treatment is longer than that of any other genital wart treatment.

A clinical response with imiquimod is accompanied by a decrease in the amount of HPV DNA and of messenger RNA for HPV proteins L1 and E7. It is thought that imiquimod may stimulate a cell-mediated immune response against HPV. In vivo studies show enhanced cytolytic and lymphoproliferative responses with imiquimod use.

Imiquimod was studied in 1 percent and 5 percent creams, the latter is more efficacious and is the only available commercial preparation. In randomized placebo-controlled trials, 5 percent imiquimod cream shows clearance within 16 weeks of up to 50 percent of warts. Imiquimod is applied to Genital Warts at bedtime and washed off in the morning, 3 times per week for 16 weeks.

The side-effect profile of imiquimod is benign. Mild to severe erythema may occur with this treatment. Other side effects include localized erosions, an impetigo-like reaction, and itching or burning sensations. Less frequent side effects include irritation, induration, crust formation, and tenderness.

Recurrences occur in up to 20 percent of patients. The safety of imiquimod during pregnancy is not established and thus its use is contraindicated in pregnancy. Animal studies do not show that imiquimod to be teratogenic or fetotoxi;, however, contraception is recommended for women of childbearing age using imiquimod.

A particularly growing area of study concerns the potential of plant medicines to cure skin diseases, including warts, hemorrhoids and molluscum. And with improving analytical methods, developers of plant medicines have also been able to determine the traceability and safety of these natural products. As a result, it is also becoming increasingly acceptable to use plant medicines for more serious illnesses such as herpes, human papilloma virus and irritable bowel syndrome.

Many suppliers claim to use ‘100% pure’ or even ‘organic’ essential oils and natural substances without providing the certifications needed to back their claims. This may only be a marketing ploy, which is probably fraudulent since essential oil treatments are unregulated in the US. They may also unknowingly be using mass produced oils in their treatments, which are commonly adulterated.

CURED never uses sub-standard essential oils and medicinal extracts of this type. We use certified organic extracts harvested specifically for medicinal use. This results in HPV cures that are consistently safe and effective. CURED has established a reputation for providing high-quality products, and HPVCurative has come to be known as the ultimate treatment for Genital Warts.

Many treatments may be ‘all-natural,’ yet be devoid of essential oils or extracts of medicinal quality. Despite claims to the contrary, these treatments are not able to provide the required HPV cures. This is another reason why HPVCurative is preferred over other genital warts cures.

Our oils and extracts are rare, unique and very different from the industrial-quality essential oils used by most companies. The oils and extracts we use are products of plant metabolism, reflecting a plant’s struggle for survival and the ways and means it uses to communicate with other organisms.

Products that claim to be all-natural or made of ‘pure’ essential oils, may use plant material sprayed regularly with toxic chemicals and pesticides during cultivation. These toxins integrate with the plant material or essential oils and can easily pass into the blood stream via topical application, especially if used as an HPV cure.

These treatments pose a health risk when used to cure genital warts. Their therapeutic effect is suspect and the side effects of toxins introduced into your system should not be taken lightly. This is where we believe the true value of our products lies – in harnessing the strength of the plant metabolism to improve the health of those who use them.

If you are in need of effective, pure, and natural genital warts cures, HPVCurative represents a very trusted and safe method to cure genital warts. Please only apply an organic HPV cure when treating the genitals. To learn more, please go to http://www.bcured.net.
