What are Skin Tags and Warts?

Skin tags and warts are growths of cells, described as an anabolic response, which means the growth of something. They are essentially benign tumors, meaning they are non-cancerous and localized. Skin tags are often found in skin folds like the neck, armpits, and groin, but can appear anywhere, including the mouth, esophagus, and private parts. There's a strong association between skin tags/warts and HPV (Human Papilloma Virus), which encompasses over 130 different types.

Why Do Skin Tags and Warts Occur?

The speaker emphasizes that skin tags and warts are indicators of underlying health issues. While the video provides a topical remedy, the primary focus is on addressing the root cause to prevent recurrence.

• Estrogen Connection: Skin tags are more common in women, potentially due to higher estrogen levels. Pregnancy, which increases estrogen, also correlates with a higher incidence of skin tags. Estrogen is an anabolic hormone, promoting cell growth. Higher body fat leads to increased estrogen production in both men and women. Elevated estrogen is also linked to a higher risk of HPV and HPV-related cancers.
• Insulin Resistance: Conditions like diabetes, obesity, and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) are associated with increased skin tag risk. These conditions are linked to high insulin levels and, fundamentally, insulin resistance. A study involving 98 skin tag cases revealed that nearly all participants had insulin resistance, measured by the Homa IR test (study cited below the video). The study also found a strong correlation between skin tags, high triglycerides, and obesity, all related to insulin resistance.
• Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Insulin resistance prevents insulin from effectively penetrating the mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to produce ATP (energy). This leads to a feedback loop where the body produces more insulin, but it still doesn't connect properly with the mitochondria. Consequently, the number of mitochondria decreases, and they become dysfunctional. Mitochondrial dysfunction is considered a key factor in both cancer and benign tumors like skin tags.

Remedy: Iodine and Garlic

The speaker recommends a two-ingredient topical remedy:

1. Povidone Iodine: Use povidone iodine, available at pharmacies, as it's less toxic and highly soluble. It can inhibit HPV and help regulate estrogen.
2. Fresh Garlic: Crush fresh garlic to extract a couple of drops of juice. Garlic contains allicin, a phytonutrient with anti-cancer and antiviral properties.

Application Process:

1. Mix two drops of povidone iodine with a couple of drops of fresh garlic juice in a small dish daily.
2. Apply the mixture directly to the skin tag or wart using a cotton swab.
3. Cover with a Band-Aid or tape.
4. Apply twice a day.
5. Store the mixture in the refrigerator to maintain the potency of the garlic.
6. Prepare a fresh batch daily to ensure the garlic remains potent.
7. Continue the application for up to two weeks, observing for shrinkage of the skin tag. The duration depends on the severity of insulin resistance.

Alternative Remedies for Warts:

If the iodine and garlic remedy doesn't show results within a week, consider these alternatives for warts:

1. Salicylic Acid: Use salicylic acid patches from a drugstore or crush an aspirin, mix it with water, and apply topically with a Band-Aid or tape.
2. Celandine: If available fresh, use the oozing fluid from the stem of the celandine plant topically. It's a potent antiviral.

Addressing the Underlying Cause:

The video emphasizes the importance of addressing the underlying causes of skin tags and warts, primarily insulin resistance and potentially estrogen dominance. The recommended solution is adopting a healthy ketogenic diet and practicing intermittent fasting.

Conclusion:

While topical remedies can help remove skin tags and warts, the video stresses the importance of understanding and addressing the underlying causes, particularly insulin resistance and estrogen dominance. By adopting a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, individuals can not only eliminate skin tags and warts but also prevent their recurrence by improving mitochondrial function and overall metabolic health.
