Celebrex a cure?

Celebrex has recently been linked to a cure for HPV.

Mass trials are set to begin...

Has anyone tried this before (very possibly unknowingly tried this).. What results have you got? Maybe some people are planning to try this as well and would be willing to share their results here.

Actually, the more I thought about the article you sent the more excited I got about it. It could be another major break through towards curing or at least understanding cancer. My mom almost died of HPV as she hated doctors and didn't go in for her PAP's and got grade IV cervical cancer. Somehow she survived 20 years. But it affected her quality of life. It is coming out that more and more types of cancer are caused by viruses and bacteria. I hope we can get more early detection so that we can get rid of these problems before them become cancerous. NO more chemo!!!

You're welcome, It's always good to see that there maybe some hope. Maybe a Celebrex / Aldara combo would be a good treatment. I would guess that would have a really strong chance of being successful.

Its always good to see that there is some potential out there for a cure or treatment other than the surgical or topical route.

Hi, I read the news article and doctors comments. It is a promising treatment for HPV. It is still very early in clinical trails. It sounds like it doesn't work for everyone as a cure. Some seem to be cured while others have to stay on the drug. There are side effects of long term treatment with Celebrex as well. But the doctor in the article thinks that in some people it is genetic to produce the Cox-2 enzyme and those that do will get cancer or tumors while those that don't their immune systems will clear the virus. This is very interesting and thank so much for sending it.
