Molluscum Contagiosum

This 8 year old girl had suffered from molluscum for over a year. As well as being itchy, she was highly self-conscious of the unsightly spots affecting her back, upper thighs and behind both knees. They were also spreading. From time to time some of the spots became inflamed and were quite painful. Her mother had tried numerous remedies, none of which worked, and was very concerned about the problem. She was told by her doctor to wait a couple of years, and they would disappear.

I commenced her on wheatgrass spray twice daily on 29 July, 2005. Eighteen days later (see photographs below) spots are disappearing (arrows & circles) and have stopped spreading.
