How this protocol works
In plain language
HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. Most infections clear on their own, but persistent infection with high-risk types can lead to cervical and other cancers.
KEY FACTS:
- Over 100 HPV types; ~40 affect genital area
- Low-risk types (6, 11): cause genital warts
- High-risk types (16, 18, others): can cause cancer
- Most infections clear within 1-2 years
- Persistent infection is the concern
CRITICAL: HPV-related conditions require medical monitoring. This protocol is SUPPORTIVE ONLY.
PREVENTION:
- HPV vaccination: Most effective prevention
- Regular Pap smears and HPV testing
- Safe sex practices
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT:
- Cervical dysplasia: monitoring, LEEP, or cone biopsy
- Genital warts: topical treatments, cryotherapy, surgery
AHCC* has preliminary evidence for immune support.
DIM/I3C* may support cervical cell health.
Immune support* with vitamins C, D, and folate.
Expected timeline: Most HPV infections clear within 1-2 years. Supplements may support immune clearance but don't replace medical monitoring.
