ABOUT HPV
HPV is believed to be a virus known as the Human papillomavirus because
they tend to cause warts, or papillomas—benign (noncancerous) tumors.
Warts may appear on the hands and feet or on the genital area. The
strains of HPV that cause warts to grow on hands and feet, however, are
rarely the same type that causes warts in the genital area. And, not all HPV
strains cause warts..
Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and avoiding illegal drugs, fried foods,
tobacco and alcohol are simple ways to help maintain a strong immune system. Pap
test remains the recommended screening option to prevent abnormalities that may
develop into cervical cancer.
“The SAD Consequences
of GADASIL”
The American Cancer Society
estimates that cervical cancer
affected an estimated 11,070 women
in 2008, killing about 3,870. Before
Gardasil in Washington DC during
2006, 8 women died from cervical
cancer and in 2005, 13 women died
from cervical cancer ranging in age
from late 30’s to mid 50’s. Not one
teenager or child died from cervical
cancer, however, since the Gardasil
injection, more girls have been killed
and have had spontaneous abortions
and miscarriages than any other time
in history from a vaccine. As of March
8, 2009, according the federal
Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting
System (VAERS) there were over
4,000 reported adverse Gardasil
vaccination reactions sent to the FDA
included over 15 deaths and life
threatening disease side effects such
as paralysis, Bells Palsy, Guillain-
Barre Syndrome, and seizures.
According to healthywomen.org
HPV is spread by skin-to-skin contact
with an HPV-infected area. Infections
can be sub clinical, meaning the virus
lives in the skin without causing
symptoms. This is why many people
with HPV do not know they have it or
that they could spread it. It can take
weeks, months or years for genital
warts to surface after sexual relations
with an infected person. Researchers
don't know whether people infected
with genital HPV but who don't have
symptoms are as contagious as
people with symptoms. Doctor’s also
don't know how much HPV is
transmitted through sexual contact
versus skin-to-skin contact.  Most
people with HPV infections don't
require treatment. Your body simply
gets rid of the virus on its own. Only a
small portion of women develop
problems, ranging from warts to
cervical cancer, that require treatment.
