Clearing the HPV virus (hpv16)
Has anyone (Male) had any success totally clearing the HPV virus with Supplements/Diet changes or seeing a Naturopathic Doctor after having Cancer and going through Cancer treatment. I keep reading about AHCC....
"IM NOT WANTING THE CANCER TO RETURN"
hpv 16, Tonsil Cancer.
Had a right tonsillectomy and lymph nodes removed. No radiation or chemo @ Mayo Rochester.

I got squamous cell carcinoma on an area not exposed to sun. I was told that HPV could be a cause as almost everyone had it and usually remains dormant but injuries, and immune system can make it (the virus) come back. I was told once you have the virus you cannot take the vaccination to prevent it.
This comes from my Mayo Jacksonville dermatologist and PCP. I asked about treatments and was told there was no way to treat the HPV only vaccination against it.
I cannot comment on AHCC.
I had gone through 30 rounds of proton radiation prior to this cancer coming up. I saw one poster talk about radiation affecting your immune system as body fights the damage done to body with radiation.
I look forward to post that have had medical professionals cite supplements or diet changes that can help.
@blessed52 can you share a bit more about your treatment...nutrition..supplements...etc?
Is your HPV gone? I didn't think that was possible.
Thank you

Sorry I misunderstood your question. I thought you were already on supplements..etc.
Please disregard my comment.
I also had squamous cell cancer to the one area that never gets sun. Went through chemo and radiation. Seemed to clear it up. That was twelve years ago. Now I have endometrial cancer and believe it was caused by the former problem. I was never tested for HPV but believe that it had caused the squamous cell cancer to that particular area. As far as I know, HPV cannot be eradicated from your system. I guess it's similar to herpes in that respect.
I had proton radiation for stage 3 anal cancer last year. I haws hvp positive and worried I would carry it with me into the future and may get cancer again because of it. I now get a special blood draw every 3 months (next one in 2 weeks) that show me as hvp negative. Don’t know if it is because of it being isolated in the tumor or what. Don’t understand the physiology. But happy with negative .
