Further Discussion on HPV//genital wars treatment

Dear Sir,
I appreciate your knowledge and experience with this subject. I gleaned much from your previous answers on the matter of varied approaches and treatments of genital//anal warts. I have just now returned home from a visit to the public STD clinic. There I was observed and urged to go almost directly to clinical surgery where I was to begin at least planning my future of surgical removal of my anal warts. I was//am apprehensive to go straight to surgery without at least considering other options.
Prior to this most recent visit, I had also visited another clinic in another town that I had recently moved from. Where this clinic also encouraged a pro-active approach they were less intense about it and urged a consideration of topical or at least self-applied possibilities.
I understand that it is possible, maybe even likely, that i may always have HPV but the warts i would really like gone. I have read a lot about different opinions such as active treatments as well as others that say that warts usually only last for a few months and can be cleared by the body's immune system. My particular dilemma is that i am a cyclist and i feel that this may hamper progress as it irritates.
My question is, do you know of or recommend any home remedies that can aid the immune system in this process? Any herbal or natural-pathic routes. I am very averse to surgery as well as introducing harsh toxins into my body. However, i have had these warts for about 6 months and need them to subside at least. They seem to be getting worse even.
thank you for any and all information to can give me,

This isn't the doctor's forum. If you want a doctor's opinion, then click the STD link under related expert forums on the right side of this page. You will have to pay $15.
Since your hpv is evidently serious enough to warrant surgery, I would suggest posting this in the HPV forum, as well.
