I 2nd the Plantar's warts thing! Or even a company that doesn't test on animals for that. Don't know much about Doctor's Scholl's Company - anyone? That is the only co. I know of for that. Any alternatives?
Also, I have been using live trap (no-kill) for a mouse problem, but I think my problem may be bigger, any ideas as to what else I can use to get rid of them in my home and not kill them? If I call someone all they are going to do is kill them and I don't want that.
The no kill traps didn't work for us. The best solution we came up with when I lived with my mom was fall traps.... lead a ramp to a bucket with peanut butter or seeds or something, and rig it so the top will collapse under the mouse's weight. You have to reset it alot, but it was the best thing, and it worked fairly well. Just remember to drive them well away from your house, or they come back!

thank you for inviting me to this group. It's a great idea, I hate animal testing like you do!!!
I am Sasa from Germany, live in Italy on beautiful Sardinia island.
YES, I know products that have changed my desastrous physical condition years ago by naturally giving my body what it needs to function well. This is what mother nature intended with our body, right?
To me it's NOT normal to be always tired, without energy, having infections all the time, colds, flus, allergies etc., the way I suffered before I started to change my eating habits and started to the natural Herbalife products as a nutritional supplement over ten years ago.
You cannot believe what an amazing effect it had on me! I want to stress that these products are NO MEDICATION and that I personally HATE medicine, as it never really helped me, but mostly only caused me horrible side- effects!
I want to put NATURAL stuff into my body, since we already don't even know all ingredients exctly that are in the food that we eat each day most of the time and eat unconsciously all that stuff that nobody really wants and needs in our body... Only think about all these remarks on our food: denaturized, hydrogenated, artifically flavoured, colored, E... etc., etc.
I finally not only LOST 15 Kilos (about 30 pounds), thanks to Herbalife, but I could also strengthen my immune system to the extent that I got rid of my allergies, hardly ever get any kind of infection and feel (and obviously also LOOK, since all people tell me so!) at least 10 years younger!

Dabbing aloe vera on the planter's wart two or three times a day is supposed to cure warts. The book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing" (Third Edition) by Phyllis Balch and James Balch has natural remedies for many ailments.

takes care of plantars warts but you must be diligent! 2 times a day every single day without fail. Mix tea tree with Almond oil, half and half. Almond oil absorbs DEEPLY into the skin and "carries" the tea tree with it. This is why it is called a carrier oil.
OR Cut a small piece of duct tape and put it over the wart. change it every day. It smothers the wart. This is how the US army takes care of warts now! Hope this helps!
Julia S. ... about that duct tape ... August 22, 2005 8:35 AM
The Harvard Health Letter article said that one study found duct tape was about 45 percent more effective than liquid nitrogen at treating warts. Cut a piece of duct tape to match the size of the wart and wear the duct tape on the wart for six days. Then, remove the duct tape patch and soak and file the wart. Leave it uncovered for the night and reapply a duct tape patch the next morning. Repeat this process for two months or until the wart is gone.

Remedy 1179-4: Castor Oil and Baking Soda Paste DESCRIPTION Formulated as a skin cream for warts and moles, this formula contains castor oil and bicarbonate of soda.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Unknown.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE Used in the treatment of warts and moles, calluses, and ingrown toe nails.
CONTRAINDICATIONS No known contraindications.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION May be rubbed onto skin or applied under a bandaid.
(Q) How can [1179] get rid of her warts? (A) Apply a paste of baking soda with Castor Oil. Mix together and apply of evenings. Just the proportions so it makes almost a GUM; not as dough but more as gum, see? A pinch between the fingers with three to four drops in the palm of the hand, and this worked together and then placed on - bound on. It may make for irritation after the second or third application, but leave it off for one evening and then apply the next - and it will be disappearing!
Banana peel contains a substance that is highly effective at destroying warts and is recommended by dermatologists. Place a small amount of peel against the wart and hold it in place with adhesive tape. Change the peel daily as needed and continue for 2 weeks or until the wart is gone.
Pearled barley: a whole grain that helps discharge animal quality proteins and fats. Found in home remedy books: for appendicitis - eat as a soft gruel; for yang tumors such as warts or moles caused by the excessive use of animal proteins and fats - eat every day and as tea.
Warts can be a nagging problem. I have known people who have gotten rid of warts, by using daily doses of homeopathic Thuja 200c twice daily between meals. It may take as long as a year to remove them with a homeopathic remedy, but it spares you the surgery.
Ayurvedic remedies ...
Warts
Mash the garlic (lasan) cloves and apply externally.
Apply the milky juice exuding from the stems of figs (anjeer) and leaves on the affected areas.
Place some chopped onions in a dish, cover with salt and leave overnight. Twice a day apply the resulting juice to the warts until they disappear.
Another alternative is fresh pineapple juice or slices. Since pineapple contains an enzyme that breaks down warts, it is very effective in removing warts without leaving behind any marks. Apply some to the wart several times a day until it has gone.
Aloe straight from a piece of the plant has many uses. It can be used for the intestines, dry hair, and skin all over the body. If popped in the frigde its a natural good cooling balm for the summer
