Before you dive into the blog I just want to say one thing:
no matter how much you love your bf and you dont want to
embarrass him, if he has genital warts -
HE MUST TREAT IT.
Or you'll both suffer. Dont just let it be cause you'll pay dearly later on.
If you dont feel comfortable to confront him just do what I did - I got him this really amazing cure after seeing it on ABC news, and I used it to treat him without him even knowing anything about it :)
In the end of the day it doesnt really matter if you take this cure or any other
just treat it and dont ignore it.
Live healthy and enjoy my blog,
Suzi
Consider this quote:
…the Christian Right is distorting the government’s relationship to science. One example is that we now have a vaccine for the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, which causes cervical cancer, of which 5000 women die every year in the US. The vaccine, which can be given to girls at age 11 or 12, is safe and effective. Yet evangelical Christians at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention – political appointees – have argued that we should not use this vaccine, because it will remove one of the natural deterrents to premarital sex. Reginald Finger, who’s on the immunization advisory committee of the CDC, has said that even if we had a vaccine against HIV, he would have to think long and hard about whether to use it, because it might encourage premarital sex.
If you worked at the CDC, would you promote the vaccines? Suppose we had cures for ALL STDs, as well as safe, reliable birth control. Would this change your views on premarital sex?
The quote is from an interview with philosopher Sam Harris in the September 2006 issue of The Sun. He made this statement while referring to an article by Michael Specter in the New Yorker.

Ooopsss…the "who" in my question was supposed to be "would" so it should have read: If you had the power to cure all sexually transmitted diseases, would you do it?
Ebemdpa: Your response reminds me of a joke I once heard. A town was flooding and trucks arrived to help people evacuate. One family refused to leave, saying that God would help them. As the flood waters rose higher and higher, the family climbed up on their roof and prayed for God to save them. A coast guard boat arrived. The family refused their help, saying that they had faith that God would save them. The flood waters kept rising and soon a helicopter arrived and lowered a ladder, but the family refused to climb because they were still convinced that God would save them. Eventually they drowned and went to heaven. They were curious and asked God: Our heavenly Father, why did you forsake us? We prayed and prayed, but you let us drown. God shrugged His shoulders and said: “I sent a truck, a boat, and a helicopter. What more do you want?”

I am a strong proponent of giving people the choice to have open, healthy sexual relationships, and therefore I believe that making both the vaccinations and birth control available is an important step towards a more healthy societal attitude towards sex and sexuality. The "economics of scarcity" that surround sex are, imnsho, completely unhealthy and ridiculous.
I think it is a crime to have a cure and then use your own judgement and not use it.
I would certainly promote the vaccines.
My view is that people have more sex before they are married then after.
Yes
for a price, yes.
Of course I would do it!!! If a life can be saved, if suffering can be diminished or eliminated, why wouldn’t you opt for that? It seems totally moronic & small-minded to withhold a vaccine because of a premarital sex issue. Who says it has to be premarital, anyhow? A marriage license does not prevent or insulate you from sexually transmitted diseases. So, once again, the Christian Right has it ALL WRONG.
yes, no question about it
i do.
The Christian Right will still have bastard births to complain about, so curing stds should be something everybody strives to work towards. It is a selfish view to prevent others from making the decision to A) have premarital sex in the first place, and B) cure the disease that they have so they can go back to doing A. There will always be the chance that pregnancy will occur. No birth control method outside of abstinence is 100 percent effective. The Christian Right need to get its priorities in order. What’s good for humanity should trump what’s good for the religion.
of course.
I’ll push for the vaccine, if its proven that it works.
People can choose whether they want it or not.
Saving souls? That’s God’s job.
What people can do is save lives, and that’s what I’ll do.
On my part, It won’t change a thing.
I believe if I had the cure, I would put it to use. I see it like this; people are having premarital sex and don’t really care about the consequences. At least with a cure available, unsuspecting victims won’t have to suffer from someone else nastiness.
Of course I would do it. There would be no hesitation what so ever. In fact, I would report to all who would listen, those that would be against it and make every effort to have them removed from their position of responsibility. I hope that this story is not factual as it’s disgusting in its nature.
Here it is the Cureall… from the bible!
Gingseng and plus Frankincense and Keep thyself clean at all times If thou want not ills of thy world! Eat not of anything that is of Carcas
if thou wishes to be well! Every herb and fruit bearing seed shalt be for meet! ( meat eaters tthat translate the bible will use meat rather than meet! Sentence is meet for thy health!
yes…for the good of many…and to further abolish that belief in Zimbabwe wherein it was reported that some AIDS men patients perform intercourse with virgin women, "believed" to relieve them of that disease…The idea still frightens me.
about the vaccines: better save the lives of the many. In this perspective in life, we’d rather not talk about morality.
YES. Diseases do not tend to recognize the morality of the person they infect. As a person, I cannot concieve of a morality that would not allow a disease.to be cured. The morality of specific sexual behavior is a separate question and should be addressed as such.
Only God has this power. Why don’t you let him heal your addiction to fornication? Read CS Lewis’ Mere Chrisitanity. Faith in God can free you from sexual bondage.
Certainly. People who wouldn’t have their own personal agendas. Who would most benefit from such cures/vaccines? The poorer classes and the huge majority who suffer from them in the Third World.
Of course I would use it. This seems to closely mirror what is going on with the FDA and Plan B. It is so disheartening to hear about all of these things. No matter what religion I am, I don’t want any one else to tell me what I can or can’t do. That’s why it is called GOVERNMENT NOT RELIGION.
yes
