Sarah 2012-03-23T16:16:18Z 2012-03-23T23:34:43Z <p>Yay, fun times, so a throwaway account. I'll be clear here- this is HPV genital warts. I have been pretty paleo for awhile, but when the outbreak occurred recently I hadn't had the best diet. Now I know it's here to stay for awhile, but I'd like to speed it on its way and maybe even have a bonus of building a better immune system.</p> <p>So far my plate is getting more vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate. Any other tips for building up the immune system for fighting these kind of things off?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/106930/how-can-i-support-my-immune-system-to-fight-a-virus-outbreak/106931#106931 Answer by air_hadoken for How can I support my immune system to fight a virus outbreak? air_hadoken 2012-03-23T16:22:02Z 2012-03-23T16:22:02Z <p>Can't speak for HPV specifically, but Vitamin K2 in large doses (15mg daily for me, but it may be overkill and I'm thinking of stepping it down) along with D3 has prevented me from getting a cold all cold &amp; flu season, and cured some fungal stuff I previously couldn't shake. Get a vial of the Thorne K2 drops (pricey but a good value per mg) off of Amazon.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/106930/how-can-i-support-my-immune-system-to-fight-a-virus-outbreak/106937#106937 Answer by Nix for How can I support my immune system to fight a virus outbreak? Nix 2012-03-23T16:41:24Z 2012-03-23T16:41:24Z <p>I've heard of applying tea tree oil topically if the warts are visible on the outside. Eat as clean as possible. I take echinacea for just about everything dealing with the immune system. I've also drink Pau D'Arco tea to boost my immune system. Sometimes I mix my echinacea and pau d'arco teas together. Not sure if there are any negative interactions going on with the mixing of the two, but I do it. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/106930/how-can-i-support-my-immune-system-to-fight-a-virus-outbreak/106963#106963 Answer by Dragonfly for How can I support my immune system to fight a virus outbreak? Dragonfly 2012-03-23T18:50:49Z 2012-03-23T18:50:49Z <p>Short-term high doses of D3 (40,000 IUs/day for 2-3 days) has kicked other viruses for me, so it is definitely worth a try.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/106930/how-can-i-support-my-immune-system-to-fight-a-virus-outbreak/107020#107020 Answer by luckylisa for How can I support my immune system to fight a virus outbreak? luckylisa 2012-03-23T23:34:43Z 2012-03-23T23:34:43Z <p>A strict sugar free phase can stop or clear a hpv outbreak. I don't know if that includes natural sugars like fruit or not but definitely no sugar or sweet stuff for the hpv to live off.</p>
