pregnant women - HPV and Cervical Dysplasia - product to use VAGINALLY ?
by jenni11, Feb 22, 2007 12:00AM
I’ve been reading about the dangers of HPV and Cervical Dysplasis on the tell-someone site and others,
Then I came upon this site, is this for real? I couldn't find ANY research on it, looks hoaky to me,
http://www.cervical-dysplasia.com/
under “ Treatment Recommendations “ in the left column
-- and then under
• HPV (human papilloma virus) -- cervical dysplasia (abnormal Pap smear), genital warts, plantar warts, and other HPV-related problems.
-- this site recommends using their product both orally
and VAGINALLY !!
- for instance the below, for PREGNANT women,
is this safe?
I’ve never heard of this product before, is it an approved drug?
HPV - Human Papilloma Virus Summary > HPV > Treatment with Beta-mannan™ for pregnant women –– cervical dysplasia without external genital warts
Treatment with Beta-mannan™ for pregnant women –– cervical dysplasia without external genital warts
For CERVICAL DYSPLASIA without external genital warts in pregnant women
For preventative maintenance, I recommend 2 caps/day orally, and, after delivery, one capsule per WEEK vaginally, except during menstruation, indefinitely. This will require 1 bottle of Beta-mannan™ per month indefinitely.

I did a search of the medical literature looking for 'Beta-mannan' and have not seen any references to it, other than biochemistry reports talking about the structure of the compound, and its use in chickens (Chickens !). There is no clinical data, and absolutely no reports of human clinical trials with it. When coupled with HPV or cervical cancer, I can find no references.
I have not personally heard of this compound for the treatment of cervical HPV. No references, no trials, no efficacy reports. It is definitively not FDA approved for cervical cancer. Therefore I can offer you no scientific evidence of benefits of this compound.
More importantly for your pregnancy, there are no reports on teratogenicity (i.e., risks to the developing fetus).
so, no benefits to your cervix, and no word on whether or not it will harm your baby. This is not a good idea for you to take if you are pregnant.
