"It is not clear if the risk is from the OCP or the increased risk of being infected with hpv for women on OCPs who may not use barrier protection. However, since the risk of getting cervical cancer is 0.008%, in any given year a doubling of risk means increasing your risk by another 0.008% per year. OCPs increase the risk of liver cancer, but this risk is rare. OCPs increase the risk of breast cancer by 10% to 20%. In women of childbearing age, breast cancer is rare, and any increased risk is eliminated after OCPs are stopped." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"If it is negative for high-risk strains of the virus, and you have never had a problem with hpv or abnormal smears, Pap smears can be reduced to every two to three years—as long as you have a stable sex life (that is, a monogamous sex partner whom you trust.) If you have had a hysterectomy and no longer have a cervix, you do not need Pap smears. I still recommend yearly internal exams (or ultrasounds) to monitor your ovaries." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"It should be emphasized, however, that condoms don't always stop infection, since hpv can be spread by parts of the genitals that are not covered by the latex. ACYCLOVIR Herpes simplex includes HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 involves herpes labialis, or cold sores on the lips. HSV-2 can cause both herpes labialis and herpes genitalis, or genital herpes. Genital herpes is more of a concern because it can be spread by sexual contact and is potentially transmittable at childbirth." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Although Gardasil blocked almost 100 percent of infections by two strains of hpv, it only reduced the incidence of cervical cancer precursors by 17 percent. One possible reason is that many of the women examined to obtain this information had already been exposed to the virus. But Gardasil may also, by blocking only specific strains, allow other varieties of hpv to flourish. I would assume there will likely be more discoveries in the future, regarding Gardasil? just as there were regarding Vioxx?(another of Merck's contributions to society)." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Pap smears may not need to be done annually if "high-risk" hpv (human papilloma virus) cultures taken during your Pap smear are normal (ask your doctor to check). Some tests, such as mammograms and metabolite measuring, should be done each year to ensure a safe makeover experience. As you can see, understanding what hormones do and what it feels like when hormones are not in balance is important to feel your best and to slow down the natural aging process. I hope that this will be the beginning of a better understanding of just who you are and why you feel the way you do." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"But several states have tried to mandate the hpv vaccine for teenage girls, and I don't believe that vaccines should ever be mandated. Whether your child is fifteen months or fifteen years old, you should always have a long discussion with your doctor about the benefits, and risks, of any vaccine. Only then can you decide what's right for your child. Substance Abuse Experimentation is a completely normal part of childhood. But in recent years, teenagers have started abusing a record number of substances: cigarettes, alcohol, illegal and prescription drugs." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"There is no permanent cure for hpv. The only known treatment for growths caused by hpv is surgery or chemical removal. Phytochemical-Rich Foods to Fight the Human Papilloma Virus The human papilloma virus is stimulated by estrogen. The indole-3-carbinol (I3C) content of cabbage and other cruciferous vegetables has demonstrated the ability to stop the growth of recurrent respiratory papilloma caused by hpv due to its capacity to alter estrogen metabolism." - Laurie Deutsch Mozian, M.S., R.D., Foods That Fight Disease: A Simple Guide to Using and Understanding Phytonutrients to Protect and Enhance Your Health (Get the book.) "A wide variety of benign and malignant growths may be associated with hpv, which also causes other genital infections that are not visible. HPV also is responsible for recurrent papilloma growths in the upper respiratory tract that block the airway and impede breathing. Frequent surgical removal of these growths is often necessary to maintain an adequate opening in the airway to sustain life. It is believed that hpv stays in the body for life like the herpes and hepatitis viruses." - Laurie Deutsch Mozian, M.S., R.D., Foods That Fight Disease: A Simple Guide to Using and Understanding Phytonutrients to Protect and Enhance Your Health (Get the book.)

"Only 5 to 10 percent of these women have cervical cancer, and most of those who do have it test positive for hpv. Fortunately, there is now a more sensitive test for hpv infection. The Hybrid Capture II test detects 90 to 95 percent of cases of hpv infection, compared to 75 to 80 percent for the Pap smear. This test is especially helpful if the results of a Pap smear are inconclusive. þ Health -care professionals have long known that cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix turn white when exposed to vinegar." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies (Get the book.)

"THE FUTURE Despite the vaccine, women will still need to be screened for cervical cancer that is caused by other types of hpv, experts note. This is most often accomplished by a Pap test, which is still a very accurate indicator of a woman's cervical condition. What Is Cervical Cancer? Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant disease in women globally, causing an estimated 290,000 deaths worldwide each year. In the United States, approximately 10,400 new cases will be diagnosed each year, and 3,700 women will die from the disease." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "An estimated 20 million men and women in the United States are infected with hpv, but for most, the virus shows no symptoms. . , For more information on a second cervi-— cal cancer vaccine, Cervarix from Glaxo-SmithKline, read the following article. Second Cervical Cancer Vaccine Is On the Horizon Diane M. Harper, MD, MPH, professor of community and family medicine and obstetrics and gynecology, Dartmouth Medical School, Lebanon, NH. Rachel Winer, PhD, research scientist, University of Washington, Seattle. The Lancet." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.) "PROMISING The vaccine's apparent long-term effectiveness is promising, says Rachel Winer, a research scientist and hpv researcher at the University of Washington, Seattle. Once a cervical cancer vaccine hits the market, young women in their late teens or early 20s would be the most likely candidates to receive it, she says. The multistrain cross-protection that Cervarix offers is a bonus, Winer adds, and "worth investigating further" to find out the mechanism behind it. For more information on cervical cancer, visit the National Cancer Institute at www. cancer.gov/cancerinfo/types/cervical." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer A number of factors increase the risk of getting this cancer: þVirus infection known as hpv (human papilloma virus) þHigh number of sexual partners, which increases exposure to hpv þSexual activity at an early age, which increases contact with hpv þCigarette smoking, especially for long-term and high-intensity smokers þLow dietary intake of carotenoids." - J. Robert Hatherill, Eat To Beat Cancer: A Research Scientist Explains How You and Your Family Can Avoid Up to 90% of All Cancers (Get the book.)

"National and international surveys reveal that hpv remains a common sexually transmitted disease. The most common variants of the virus lay behind seven out of every ten cases of cervical cancer in industrial countries and probably even more in the rapidly developing regions of the world. Even today, 4,000 women in America—many more blacks than whites—die each year of a cancer that is believed to be largely avoidable. We do not know why older black women have three times more cervical cancer than white women and die of the disease more often." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "Instead it is argued that vaccinating against hpv will open the door to wanton sexual behavior among girls, because, among other things, they will not need to think about whether they might contract cancer in thirty years. I've got news for them. With two out of every three girls having sex by age eighteen, and with close to half of them not necessarily willing participants on each occasion, it makes little sense to suppose that decisions about sexual activity are based on the possibility of getting cancer in middle age." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"The federal government approved an hpv vaccine last year, and a government advisory panel has recommended that all girls get shots at age 11 or 12- before they begin having sex. But the American College of Pediatricians, a socially conservative group, has opposed any vaccination requirement, calling that a "precedent-setting action that trespasses on the right of parents to make medical decisions for their children, as well as on the rights of the children to attend school." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.) "By sidestepping the legislature, Perry - a conservative Republican - avoided a showdown with GOP lawmakers and Christian organizations that oppose mandatory hpv vaccinations on the grounds that teaching young people to avoid premarital sex is a better solution. The mandate would affect roughly 365,000 girls a year. The move drew immediate criticism from conservative groups, which noted that the governor had accepted campaign contributions from Merck & Co., the drug company that manufactures the vaccine. "All Merck wanted was a mandate so the insurance companies would have to pay for this." - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"These warts usually don't hurt and are caused by hpv types 2 and 4. • Plantar warts: This type usually appears on the soles of the feet and tends to grow down into the skin, instead of creating mounds. Caused by hpv type 1, plantar warts are painful and attack blood vessels that are embedded deeply in the skin. • Plane warts: These are small, flat, and flesh-colored warts that grow in clusters. • Venereal warts: This type (known medically as condyloma acuminata or genital warts) affects the genital and anus areas. These moist, fleshy mounds of skin feature surfaces that resemble cauliflower." - James F. Balch, M.D. and Mark Stengler, N.D., Prescription for Natural Cures: A Self-Care Guide for Treating Health Problems with Natural Remedies Including Diet and Nutrition, Nutritional Supplements, Bodywork, and More (Get the book.)

"Taking beta-carotene supplements did not appear to have a direct effect on precancerous conditions such as cervical dysplasia and hpv infection (Romney et al 1997). Diabetes Evidence suggests that serum beta-carotene levels may be reduced in diabetic patients. A case-controlled study assessed the effects of diabetes on vitamin A, beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol, and retinol binding protein (RPB). Patients with type 2 diabetes (n=107) and a control group (n=143) received a dietary assessment, fasting blood levels, and a 10-hour urinalysis." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"As a result, the best way to combat cervical cancer is to reform your health so that your body becomes an environment unfriendly to hpv. This, of course, involves regular consumption of probiotics ("friendly" bacteria) as well as excellent circulation (which can be boosted through exercise and nutritional supplements like ginger). It also helps to eat antiviral foods and herbs on a regular basis, including onions, garlic, ginger and all the culinary herbs. Oregano is one of the best, and oregano oil as a supplement is highly useful in a number of supportive health roles." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Some types of genital wart virus (particularly hpv types 16 and 18) are linked with an increased risk of developing cervical cancer. These high-risk wart viruses do not cause visible warts, however, and the types of wart virus that do cause visible genital warts do not appear to increase the risk of cervical cancer." - Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.)

"Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer A number of factors increase the risk of getting this cancer: þVirus infection known as hpv (human papilloma virus) þHigh number of sexual partners, which increases exposure to hpv þSexual activity at an early age, which increases contact with hpv þCigarette smoking, especially for long-term and high-intensity smokers þLow dietary intake of carotenoids." - J.

"If you already have hpv, as millions of people do, you are out of luck. What about a real cure for a major disease like cancer or even a minor one like the common cold? Now that would be a cosdy discovery to the pharmaceutical industry with $2.9 billion spent on over-the-counter drugs, $400 million on prescription medicines for symptomatic relief and $1.1 billion annually on an estimated 41 million antibiotic prescriptions, even though the drugs have no effect on a viral illness." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"Creosote bush is distinctly inhibiting to several prominent viruses that are troubling in these times of social excesses. hpv (Human papillomavirus), the cause of genital warts and cervical dysplasia, is sensitive to Creosote bush's NDGA content as is Herpes simplex virus types I and II. A douche of Creosote bush tea applied twice daily or a suppository applied before bed is a useful approach for either virus affecting vaginal and/or cervical tissues. Otherwise, topical use of the oil or salve is efficacious. Cold sores respond very well to external salve application." - Charles W. Kane, Herbal Medicine of the American Southwest (Get the book.)

"Genital warts caused by hpv are considered a major cause of cervical dysplasia (page 3) and cervical cancer. All warts are contagious. Medical treatments Over the counter drugs used to treat common warts contain salicylic acid (Compound W, Dr Scholl's Wart Remover Kit, Mosco) and are applied topically on a daily basis. Prescription medications are available to treat genital warts. They include podofilox (Condylox) and podophyllum resin (Podocon-25). The lattet drug is only to be applied by a physician. A protective pad may be worn to relieve the pain of plantar warts." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc.

"The vaccine's manufacturer, Merck, has said that the vaccine reduces the number of pre-cancerous lesions caused by hpv. But some have pointed out that Merck's study was not long enough to demonstrate the vaccine's effectiveness; it only lasted three years, although it was examining a disease that can take decades to develop. The U.S. state of Ohio is now considering making this vaccine mandatory." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"HPV is the virus that causes venereal warts (Condyloma acuminata) and is the most likely culprit in many cases of cervical dysplasia. There are over forty-five different strains of hpv, and one strain in particular appears to be a major cause of cervical dysplasia. HPV16 has been found in ninety percent of all cervical cancers and fifty to seventy percent of all cases of cervical dysplasia." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book.)

"But Gardasil may also, by blocking only specific strains, allow other varieties of hpv to flourish. I would assume there will likely be more discoveries in the future, regarding Gardasil? just as there were regarding Vioxx?(another of Merck's contributions to society). This Kind Of Obvious Corruption Absolutely Must Be Stopped! First it was Ritalin? followed by Prozac? and then other more potent SSRI antidepressants such as Paxil?soon followed. Now there are the atypical antipsychotic drugs such as Zyprexa?" - Dr David W Tanton, Ph.D., Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, And Stimulants - Dangerous Drugs on Trial (Get the book.)

"Low red blood cell folate levels may increase the effect of other risk factors for cervical dysplasia; in particular, that of hpv infection. In a 1992 study, researchers from the University of Alabama in Birmingham investigated the links between folate deficiency and cervical dysplasia in 294 young women with the disorder and 170 healthy women. They also assessed the impact of factors such as smoking, oral contraceptive use, hpv infection, and number of sexual partners. The results showed that at low folate levels, the risk of dysplasia caused by hpv infection was increased." - Nicola Reavley, The New Encyclopedia of Vitamins, Minerals, Supplements and Herbs (Get the book.)
