How do you clear the HPV16 virus to prevent cancer recurrence?

Posted by blessed52 @blessed52, Jan 10 1:51am

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head & Neck Cancer Support Group.

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 .

My dermatologist and PCP stated that once you have HPV there is nothing available to cure it or remove it. You can prevent it by a vaccine.

I was told almost everyone has it. It usually remains dormant but can resurface with immune problems, injuries, etc. I had gone through 30 rounds of radiation which caused fatigue and probably affected my immune system. I was told a recent SCC I had in a sore was most likely caused by HPV as was non sun area.

I have not heard of any supplements or OTCs that could help it keep dormant but would like that information if someone has it.

Hi Colleen, I am interested in Integrative Care, but I am currently under care of Fred Hutch in Seattle. I am a vet and all of my care goes through VA.

Is Mayo’s integrative care something I might be able to work with even though Fred Hutch was where I got my treatment 36 rads/3 cisplatin?

Thank in advance.

@ijones98280, sorry for the delay in replying. It is possible that you can work with Mayo Clinic's Integrative Oncology team while in care at another cancer center. Integrative medicine is complementary to the care you are receiving. I would contact Mayo to see if this might work for you. You can contact appointments to inquire, start here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

It looks like Fred Hutch offers some integrative approaches too 🙂 https://www.fredhutch.org/en/patient-care/services/integrative-medicine.html
