Is Wartrol a Scam?
I found this question was being asked a lot when I was surfing around trying to decide whether to try Wartrol or not. It’s amazing the amount of contradictory information you can find in just a few minutes of visiting forums, blogs and Google.
Here’s what I was able to figure out from all the things I read. (and my experience)
First, Wartrol is actually a homeopathic, all natural product so it isn’t regulated by the FDA. Some people said that because it doesn’t have FDA approval stamp on it can’t work, and therefore, it must be a scam. Well, cucumbers aren’t FDA approved and they get rid of bags and dark circles under my eyes? The fact is that the FDA only “approves” drugs, and Wartol isn’t considered a drug.
Second, many people said they tried it for a while and didn’t get any results. The truth is that the application instructions say you should use it for the complete period to get the desired results (ie. no more genital warts). I couldn’t find anyone who said they tried it for 5-6 months and still thought it was a scam.
Third, there’s the “free trial” offer. (personally, I hate these!) This seems to be really common with a lot of the homeopathic products being sold on the internet today.
Wartol is being sold through manufacturer’s website that offers a “free trial”. Now, in the details of the web page it states that if you don’t return your “free sample” with a certain amount of time, they’ll charge your credit card for the full amount, and they’ll continue to ship you a monthly supply until you cancel. Personally, I read the details before I buy anything online. I knew what I was sending away for when I ordered Wartrol. And, I decided to go with a straight purchase (which included a few extra bottles) instead of going for the “free trial”.
Most of the comments I read regarding Wartrol being a scam came from people who were furious that there credit card got charged after their free trial.
If you want to call that a scam, then go ahead. I certainly think many of these offers should be a little more transparent about what their “free trial” really means. To me, I never think I’m getting anything for “free”, so I read the fine print, re-read the details and then make a decision. I’m glad I bought Wartrol. It eliminated a big problem for me.
Then again, I read the website and checked the details before I purchased.
Is Wartrol a scam? I guess it depends on your expectations. If you want a solution to your genital wart problem I think it’s a great product. If you want something for nothing, you probably won’t be pleased. They actually charge for this product.
And personally, I would have paid a lot more for the results I got!
How To Get Rid Of Genital Warts
If there’s any consolation to having discovering you have genital warts it might being knowing that you aren’t alone. (Okay, that’s really not much help, I know). I was reading that about 15% of the population who is sexually active would test positive for HPV or have genital warts showing. Of course, I’m not sure how they would prove this, but the numbers are astounding!
Also, it seems that about 2/3 of the infected population are women. And genital warts are less obvious on women (for obvious reasons!)
So, how to get rid of them….
Believe it or not, some people go to a doctor and have them removed with a laser! It’s a procedure where the physician uses a laser to basically burn off the wart from the rest of the healthy skin. Recovery time seems to be about 2-4 weeks and the cost seems to be around the $300 mark. Anyone else thinking “OUCH!!”
Home Remedy
There are many home remedies that promise relief. I’ve tried a few and I must say that lessened the frequency of my outbreaks. But I didn’t have complete success with any of them.
Prescription Treatments
There are a few prescription application and injection treatments that doctors must apply to rid your genital warts. These range from compounds that freeze the wart to kill it (like liquid nitrogen) to types of acids that are prescription compounds and must be administered in a doctors office.
There are also prescription cremes that a doctor will prescribe to be applied at home by the patient. These treatments last from 3-4 weeks to 3-4 months.
Homeopathic Remedies
There are a few natural, homeopathic products that might help you conquer your genital warts. The benefit of these is that they are 100% natural which means you don’t have to worry about prescription drug side effects. They are generally less expensive than being treated by a doctor (or being charged by the big pharmaceutical companies), and they can be taken at home.
I’ve tried a few solutions, most with limited results. Wartrol is what finally worked for me.
What Causes Genital Warts?
Genital warts are one of the most common kinds of STD’s. Basically they are ugly contagious bumps on your genitals or anus. It is thought that you get genital warts through sexual contact with someone infected by the human papilloma virus (HPV). They can also infect the inside of the vagina, cervix and rectum.
Personally, I was completely freaked out when my first wart appeared on my privates!
Apparently, there is currently over a hundred different types of HPV that may cause warts, but only a few of these can cause genital warts. Those that do cause these genital warts are really, really contagious. The most common type of HPV that cause this condition are HPV6 and HPV11. It is possible for someone to have HPV an not know it. If they haven’t had a genital wart outbreak yet, they can infect without ever knowing they did so!
The best way to protect yourself from this is obviously chastity. But in the real world, I suggest you use a condom and take whatever other precautions you might think necessary, especially with “new” partners.
The percentages of young girls tested for HPV show alarming infection rates (and they say it’s increasing at an alarming rate). In England one study found that ten percent of teenage girls have HPV by age sixteen. And another US study found that twenty six percent of teenage girls (age 14-19) have at least one STD!
Some of those infected have “outbreaks” on a very frequent basis. For others, breakouts might be less frequent and these people can go many months without a single genital wart.
The pain, embarrassment and social stigma that goes along with having genital warts is socially crippling!
