What Do Cancer, Viruses And Warts Have In Common?
It’s been reported recently that Australia is showing the rest of the world the way when it comes to the prevention of HPV infection in females. HPV is also known as the Human Papilloma Virus and is the most common disease transferred through sexual contact in the younger generation.
HPV is also known as the cause of genital warts as well as being the known cause of 70% of cases of cervical cancer in women of all ages. Once an individual has been infected there is no treatment or cure for the HPV infection but since about 2007 it is possible to be vaccinated against HPV infection. The other illness caused by HPV, genital warts, can be treated using Wartrol and other anti-wart remedies.
Those viruses in this group HPV that cause genital warts have a very dangerous secondary outcome as well and that’s that they can be the cause cervical cancer in females. But fortunately a vaccine is available now that can be injected into teenage females and this can be used to prevent the HPV infection.
This then also protects them against the eventual development of a cervical cancer, and the use of a natural remedy called Wartol helps against the genital warts. But then there are those of us who are not lucky enough to be vaccinated because the vaccine was only developed recently, and thus are now infected with HPV and genital warts.
Since 2008 the Australian government started a campaign to immunize all 12 and 13 year old girls against HPV. This was done to ultimately protect them against the development of cervical cancer but it has also been the reason for a dramatic drop in the incidence of genital warts amongst the Australian population.
A recent controversy has arisen in the UK about the subject of giving vaccines to young women against HPV infection. Since 2009 approximately 70-80% of young girls aged 12 to 13 have been vaccinated in the UK against HPV. This was primarily done to protect them against the development of cervical cancer at a later age.
This has been a great success because HPV infection is known to cause about 70% of all cases of cervical cancer in women. But HPV also causes another nasty illness called genital warts. The problem was though that the vaccine used in the UK vaccination program, called Cervarix, only protects young girls against those strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer. It gives no protection however against the HPV strains that cause genital warts.
