Home Remedies for Warts: A High Omega 3 Fats Diet

My son has molluscum contagiosum which presents in a sort of "colony" of wart like bumps. They are contained under his arm and on the side of his body. It was just suggested to me to put a bit of pure fish oil in his juice daily. Is there any research on this solution? He is not a very good eater and has never been. He is 2 1/2 years old.

My doctor, whom I greatly respect, believes the best cure for this is time. I understand the "warts" can be frozen off, but I am unwilling to do that to my 2 1/2 year old and risk the pain and scaring.

Dear Susan: Thanks for visiting our Portal. You can subscribe to our Blog to get the new pages we build.

Omega 3 fatty acids have been known for its improvement of the immune system and since this Mulluscum Contagiosum is a viral infection, I would recommend you start doing some reading on how to improve his immune system.

One of the main steps would be taking 2.000 mg of fish oil daily (360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA). You could start with a good quality Cod Liver Oil (molecularly distilled) for the first 3 months and then switch to a Fish oil. The reason is that the Cod liver oil has vitamins A and D that also reinforce his immune system.

Now, there are some omega 3 topical creams that may help but they should not replace the oral omega 3. You can check at: http://www.springboard4health.com/store/more_hpl_cod-cream.html

A second step would be to have a high omega 3 diet (that you would be giving him) and LOW in omega 6(read Omega 3 Deficiency and Eating and Omega 3 ). A high omega 6 diet weakens the immune system so try to avoid any sodas, sugars, candies, grains, cereals and vegetable oils.

Make sure he gets a lot of outside play and sun (Very important for his immune system)

Your doctor maybe right, his immune system may eventually learn how to fight the virus but make sure you take steps to avoid spreading of the warts: Try to avoid scratching since the virus spreads by contact. You may put a tape on them.

If after several months these steps do not improve his problem, you may take an appointment with another dermatologist. There are many ways to mechanically eliminate the problem. Nevertheless, the real reason for the warts is a weaken immune system.

The best for you,
