MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM / WATER WARTS: Removed (safely) in 4 – 6 weeks by wheatgrass extract

About molluscum in children

Molluscum contagiosum is a very common, contagious viral infection that mostly affects young children. It may be unsightly, but it is not a serious condition for either children or adults unless the lesions are treated (incorrectly) with various physical applications such as icing and burning that might cause considerable skin damage.

These viral lesions appear as small, sometimes itchy raised spots that can occur anywhere on the face or body. Although the condition is harmless, molluscum can be unsightly and distressing to patient and carers alike. Entry to public bathing areas may be refused.

How do children get molluscum?

The molluscum virus readily spreads by direct contact e.g. from family members or other children when swimming, playing, bathing or sharing towels, etc. The incubation period can vary between 2 to 24 weeks. If left untreated the spots will eventually disappear, but this could take 2 years or more.

How to treat molluscum

I first saw my wheatgrass extract eliminate molluscum in 1996 when one of my sons contracted the virus. I was certain it would not work because at that stage no effective treatment was available. So, rather cautiously, I applied a little extract to his "spots" daily. Then, to my amazement, in four weeks, they had all disappeared! Since then, I've received numerous positive reports from parents (and from adult sufferers). It usually takes about 4 to 8 weeks to eliminate the virus and restore the skin to normal, but some recover more quickly.

So as not to spread the virus to others, try to avoid sharing baths, towels and close contact with other children.  

Before wheatgrass proved its effectiveness, there were no effective treatments available, but now though, freezing the spots with CO2, cauterizing, squeezing, pricking, cutting and burning all seem rather barbaric.  

These “treatments”, such as benzyl peroxide, Betadine, and Burrow’s solution (aluminium acetate), Aldara, (imiquimod which should not be used for treating molluscum), appear to be useless, possibly because they're not tackling the real cause - prevention of cellular receptors maintaining connection with the brain. For instance, this child who was treated with cantharone, a nasty toxic substance, suffered badly because of the damage it did to his skin.

The extract however, appears to reactivate the "lost" connections and normalises them. 

Because the extract is very safe, (it is even useful for oral and skin burns), it is ideal for usage by infants and children. It is also safe to use around the eyes by applying a little with a cotton bud/Q-tip – once on alternate days. Increasing the frequency of application is not necessary.

How does wheatgrass work?

Healing appears to be achieved by restoring the connection of damaged or dysfunctional cellular receptors that exist throughout the body, to the brain. Without that connection the brain will not be able to eliminate the virus.

For instance, the molluscum virus attacks a number of cellular receptors on the skin that blocks their connection to the brain. The virus is then able to spread anywhere via blood and lymphatic circulation. But, if you apply wheatgrass extract to one or two affected area(s) on alternate days, the ligands it contains can then reconnect dysfunctional receptors to the brain which then “restores” all virus affected cellular receptors. In time, usually a few weeks, the skin returns to normal.

This same approach applies to treating many other illnesses and injuries. So many other "difficult or untreatable" conditions respond positively to this treatment such as psoriasis, vitiligo, even leprosy (for which there is no available medical treatment). There is only one rule to follow - "less is best". Don't overtreat! It's wasteful, and it doesn't accelerate the healing process.

Molluscum, because it is caused by a virus, can not be cured with drugs. However, wheatgrass extract is not a drug - it is a safe herbal extract that contains the many ligands required to assist re-connection of dysfunctional cellular receptors to the brain - and "normalising" the affected skin.

Also, wheatgrass extract is perfectly safe to apply anywhere on the skin, including the genital area.

How long will it take the extract to work?

Apply it just once every second day over the worst affected areas. In the first two or three weeks, you won’t see much change. In fact the spots may spread further at the beginning but this indicates the extract is working. It may take several weeks for the brain to destroy the virus, so try to persevere. Molluscum is not a harmful infection, it's just unsightly.

Finally, because of the way the extract works, only apply to the worst affected areas. In other words, under-treat rather than over-treat, and don't rub the extract in - it's not necessary.

Also, in the early stage of treatment, you may see increased numbers of spots, redness, enlargement of some, and perhaps some yellowish colouration. Don't worry, this means the extract is active. (And don't throw the half empty container away. There are many other potential uses for the extract.
