When I was 12 years old, I had 3 warts on my hands. I hated them. They were there for years. One in the middle of one hand and two on the other hand. My friend told me her grandfather could charm them off. We walked to her grandfather's house and he spit on his finger and went around each wart and quoted something from the Bible. I tried to remember what he said but couldn't. He told me you have to believe the warts will go away. They disappeared in 2 weeks. He was suppose to pass that down to one of his daughters. He died before passing it down.

I would love to know how to do this. Does anyone know?

What happened then was a fluke.
You are chasing a non-existent rainbow.
My suggestion for the cure is to see
A very reliable chemist.

They disappeared in 2 weeks. You do realize that they often go away on their own right?

Go for the liquid nitrogen, that's the preferred treatment.

You do realize that warts are nothing more than a virus don't you?

A similar story... My daughter (5 at the time) had warts on her knee. She was tired of kids making fun of her so we made a doctor's appointment to have them removed. Well, the day of the appointment came, we showed up at the doctors, and the doctor couldn't find any warts.

What that man did was just an old wives tale... nothing to it really.

It wasn't a fluke. They were on there for years. They slowly went down and they were completely gone in two weeks. If it happened to you, you would know it wasn't a fluke. You might be an accounting expert but you know nothing about charming off warts.

I guess we'll have to wait for soemone else who knows about charming off warts to answer. I just know about charming the pants... oh never mind.

... I'm sorry, but I think... it's a bit ridiculous that the man spit on his finger and then traced your wart with it.

... perhaps he wanted to just touch your wart?

Medically speaking, there is no way that this man's saliva and bible verses could "charm" off a wart. It's usually in the way of "sizzle sizzle" or "snip snip"

The question is: Do you know how to charm off warts? If you don't know, don't answer.
I know warts are a virus and all of that. I know you can use liquid nitrogen. I know they were charmed off.

The question is: Do you know how to charm off warts?Hello C:

Yes, I know how to do it. I learned from an old Indian Rabbi on the Azcanazi Reservation in South Dakota. It's a little different than your Grandpappy.

Everybody uses spit, though. So, do like your Grandpappy, and spit on your finger. Go around the wart counterclockwise three times saying, "Oy vey is meer" each time you go around. Those are the charming words.

They'll be gone in 6 hours.

Should help... maybe. It consists of getting an eel and such...

I really think liquid nitrogen is probably easier, and more readily available...

You haven't got smart a$$ answers.

People are telling you that it is impossible.

Fact.

Why not see a doctor about it? I have heard that some warts may be removed with nail polish... but I don't know any "charms"

I used to have a children's wart on my knuckle for years. I cut it off a few times but it always grew back. Finally I cut deep enough - didn't think it would stop bleeding - but it's been gone for quite some time now.

Sorry, saliva doesn't make warts go away. I know this for a fact.

EDIT: I take that back - Jesus Christ had healing spit. So if you can figure out a way to go back to approximately 30A.D. when He was healing the blind and the lepers, I'm sure He could give you the secret.

First of all I'm going to be completely honest and say that I do not believe in magical wart cures. Here are some things I found but use common sense and do not try any that can be hazardous to your health or any animals.

The power of suggestion is very strong. It is basically a form of hypnosis. My great uncle was a Pow Wow doctor in Pennsylvania. This is similar to a modern day medicine man but more like a folk doctor. He would treat patients with the power of suggestion and did not use medicine of any sort. This was in the Penna Dutch area of Pennsylvania many years ago.

I once had a wart on my finger many, many years ago and kept gnawing it off with my teeth until I finally got the root out and it never came back. Magic? No. Presistance? Yes.

I have to wonder if this spit method works on birth marks or moles.

I had to get my mole burned off, I'd much prefer just to spit on it.

Exy, do you do house calls?

Actually, what Jesus did was spit on the ground to make mud, put the mud on the blind man's eyes and he was able to see :)

So what you're saying is...

... some people are worshiping the wrong thing? It's not Jesus, it's the mud?!

No, it's the "Jesus Mud." Could you imagine the market on that stuff?? Jesus would be richer than Trump :)

I am SO marketing this...

JESUS MUD. Cleanse yourself with this stuff and you'll be all holy like. Want to heal the sick, raise the dead, and turn water into wine? THIS IS FOR YOU!

... I feel like there's a special place in hell made just for people like me...

Yeah, I kind of feel like I'm teetering on blasphemy so I think I'll stop :)

EDIT: One more thing I thought of... who do you think Jesus would use to market the mud? Billy Mays of OxyClean fame, or Vince Schlomi from the ShamWow! and Slap Chop commercials?

So can we use healing spit for other ailments too? :confused:
Cancer.
Herpes.
Dry Scalp.
Diaper Rash.
Dumb@ssedness.

Just curious.

**I'm still grossed out that someone would let another person put spit on them and it believe it healed.

I'm pretty sure if Jesus can not only cure death but beat it Himself, cancer won't be an issue.

If spit worked they must have a lot of garlic in their saliva.
The only way I know that they go away on their own is your body rids itself of the virus.
You can use a garlic/olive oil mixture but you have to apply it regularly.

I need energy do you think the spit will work for that?? If so lets bottle it and make millions!

I have read most of your answers and like you had a long term wart charmed off by my grand father who learned it from someone from the east coast. He would find 2 small smooth stones spit on them and rub them over the wart and say something very quiet to himself. He then disposed of the stones how unknown.
In my case and all others that I know of it worked very well. Can't remember how long before it was gone but it never came back and I have never had another wart. He was to pass on the secret to my father but died before this happened. He treated many people for this and all that I know of this worked for.And I must say when he did this to me I thought he was nuts but I have no warts

I do not claim this will work. There are lots of folk-cures to charm a wart off.

Rub a wart with a potato or penny. Drawing a circle with the charred end of piece of burnt broomstraw around the wart for three consecutive mornings. Take blossoms of the walnut tree, rub the warts with them, and they will soon heal. A string or ribbon is tied over the wart and then tossed into a moving body of water; as the water rots the string or ribbon the wart disappears. Rub the warts with roasted chickens’ feet and bury them under the eaves of the house, the warts will vanish. Wash the warts with an old dishhrag; place it under the water gutter spout on the corner of the house; when that wash cloth has rotted away, the wart will be gone. Etc.

I think what you are asking about is this one:

Spit on the warts
Recite Mark 8:23-24
(And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. In Jesus name, amen. Mark 8:23-24)

Then say, "Jesus prayed put spittle on the affliction. As he healed that, I heal this. In Jesus name, amen."

I grew up in Northern Ireland. My father told me that the local gravedigger could charm warts off peoples hands or whatever. I laughed at him and said that was ridiculous but he was adamant that the old guy could do it. Quite a few years later I read in the newspaper about a study at the U of Chicago where the doctors put pieces of colored tape over peoples warts and told them that the tape was impregnated with a special chemical which would make the wart disappear. The warts all disappeared, obviously through the power of the subject's belief that the chemicals would work. In fact there were no chemicals, ordinary store bought tape was used. That is when I knew that the gravedigger could actually charm peoples warts away. Cm

Post your source. The placebo effect is strong, but it isn't going to work for everyone.
