Wartabater?

esz
I just found this device on the internet called the Wartabater.  It supposedly kills the wart.  I was wondering if anyone has ever used it or knows anything about it.  If you have any information please let me know.  Thanks.

Yes brilliant bit of kit ,I used it on myself and in a 5 year old child who had a massive wart between thumb an forefinger.All conventional treatments,freezing ,acid etc were causing her pain and the wart was getting larger.She was getting taunted at school "your a which " and other stuff we used it for about a minute every other day .The wart completely disappeared with no scarring,but it take a few weeks and although the application wasn't painful it start to get painful after about three weeks.It didn't last long and as I say healed up with absolutely no scarring.Mine also healed with no scarring in about a fortnight.I lent mine someone who also removed their warts but failed to return it ( arse hole ,comes to mind ) I would definitely buy another and have no problems fully recommending this product

I've owned 2 of them. They work 100% and are amazing. For me it started about 10 years ago. My young daughter had large, debilitating warts on her hands. I'd spent $hundreds taking her to doctors. We tried putting chemicals on them, cutting them off, freezing them, etc. Nothing worked. I found the Wartabater on the Internet, and thought "why not" because nothing else had worked. After one single session (about 3 minutes per wart... you do large warts in sections), the warts literally died. The next day was a noticeable difference and in a few weeks she had healed completely and the warts were 100% gone, never to return. The way it works is that the wart dies immediately, then as you heal up the warts just slowly shrink away. I bought the new model a few years ago. I loan it out to friends and it works for them too. I am not associated with Wartabater in any way! It works.

I'm in agreement with others here who were skeptical and then (in desperation) went and bought one of these gadgets. I got it for my daughter when her multiple (and growing) warts in the nail beds around her fingers would not go away. Dermatologist did nothing for us, over the counter stuff did nothing either. The wartabater did the trick, and my daughter didn't seem to mind the sting too much. Years later, another wart appeared on the bottom of the foot...same deal...three or four times zapping it, and now it's gone. I'm a fan. Maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but at under $100 dollars and lasts forever, it's a bargain compared to the hundreds and thousands a dermatologist repeated treatment would have cost.

I had an extremely stubborn wart on my right hand, third finger right next to the nail - had it five years.  Tried laser on it at quite a cost about five times - it looked at first as if it had gone, then within two months returned each time.  Feeling a bit of a fool, I bought the wartabater.  I soaked the wart in hot water, then applied the device until I had a rather nasty sharp stabbing pain in the wart - held it there, teeth clenched, for five minutes.  Did it four or five times in the first two weeks.  Lo and behold, the dead wart cells started to fall off, and the skin gradually grew into it until it had completely gone.  Amazed.  I think you need to use it several times on a well soaked wart, and unfortunately you need to get that sharp burning feeling in it to know it is working.  I'm delighted though - the alternative was having my finger chopped off, I was so sick of it!! It did take a few weeks for it to gradually disappear, but it had been such a stubborn wart - the doctors couldn't believe the laser hadn't worked.

The Wartabater seems to be working for me. I agree the resonance frequency stuff is nonsense, it's just damaging the skin the same way your doctor will try to do with liquid nitrogen, hopefully activating your body's natural immune response to the virus (as I understand, HPV typically survives because it lives between the layers of the skin and eludes the immune system that way). But for me, it's a lot less painful and a lot cheaper than multiple doctor's visits. After one treatment, the wart is turning hard and yellow with the feel/appearance of dying skin. This is a wart that's continued to grow after multiple doctor's treatments and many at-home freezing and acid treatments. I think the most important thing you can do is not pick at it once it's treated. I was never able to resist the urge to do this with the liquid nitrogen at the doctor, because it created huge, hideous blisters that would become huge flaps of nasty, smelly dead skin. The Wartabater treatment seems to be creating a more modest blister underneath the dying wart that I should be able to ignore with a hefty dose of willpower. It's between my fingers, so I don't really care about scarring, I just want the stupid thing dead before it grows any bigger.

I have personally used the Wartabater myself. While I cannot stand by their "100%" guarantee, I can say that it does work for many cases. I personally love mine. It has gotten rid of all my warts except the last most stubborn one. However, each time I have hit my worst one it has gotten smaller. I am fairly positive that it will eventually get rid of the last one. I have used every conventional imaginable on this one without ANY success whatsoever.

If you happen to try it out and it doesn't initially work, I have a few suggestions. First, try soaking the wart for 15 mins or perhaps even longer if initial attempts fail. I have found this to be very effective. You might also try using one of those sand-paper nail file things to remove some of the dead skin. DO NOT use it on broken skin though. I have also found that their 5 minute treatment time is sometimes not long enough depending on the wart.

Again, start off following their instructions. If that fails, get creative, but don't go too crazy.

Best of luck.

  Has anyone used this device on their dogs?  I have two  small dogs that got a virus  from lazy people not cleaning up their dogs feces where I live and now both of my dogs have warts.  I don't mean a few, they have lots of them.  I would happily spend the $90 if someone could tell me it would work on them.  Its sad to see these warts all over these furbabies, its really bumming me out.  Please let me know.  Thank you in advance

All I can say is the damn thing worked for me....I have had a problem with warts on my legs for several years and tried everything - surgery, chemicals, etc. to no avail.  No matter what I did, they kept growing back.  

I searched the web for answers and stumbled across the Wartabater.  Some reviews were good, some not so good.  Their no-return policy and lack of contact info threw up red flags, but I decided to roll the dice anyway.  I'm glad I did.  My legs are now clear with no scars and no signs of regrowth.

This thing work so well and is far from "quakery".  I have recommended this to numerous friends and collegues and they have all had complete success.  Our family is so happy to be rid of all of our warts.  It even worked on the family dog!!!

Wartabater's website credits the work of "Dr John Crane," who in fact was not a doctor and spent three years in prison (1961-4) for producing electronic resonance machines he claimed would cure cancer. He was a partner of Dr. Royal Rife, who you can find on Wikipedia. Sellers of Rife devices have been convicted of fraud numerous times. The AMA has found that these "frequency generators" have no value in treating anything. Quackery.

i had a plantar wart develop on the sole of my left foot, right in the middle of my heel for about 3 years. tried numerous remedies (wart stick, salicylic acid, duct tape) to no avail! after the appearance of a cluster of smaller plantar warts, also on my left heel and a few small solo warts closer to my toes, I decided to give the 'wartabater' a try (especially after reading all those doctor visit horror stories of scaring and painful removals by freezing or scalpel).
I received the wartabater in the spring of 2012 and used it on all my plantar warts a few times throughout the year; at first nothing changed or seemed to improve - I too thought, I fell victim to another 'snake oil' product... but, I can report, that as of feb 2013 ALL warts, including the large original wart, have completely disappeared with no scaring or any other sign of ever having been there!!
I believe it takes a long time for the skin on the sole of the foot to heal & re-absorb the killed plantar warts! so have patients and repeat the treatment of each wart a few times... et voila: gone for good!

I am very upset that I believed in this deception. I purchased the Wartabater two months ago.
Now I may tell you that it doesn't treat warts. Absolutely not.
All this device does is it leaves dark spots and scars on your skin.
First, I wanted to sell it on ebay but will not - I do not want to take part in this scam.

YES!  It works!  I tried every over the counter remedy including trying to freeze the warts off my hands with the compound W applicator kit.  I also tried castor oil and baking soda paste, essential oils and garlic.  Nothing worked for months.  The hands are a hard area to treat.  BUT, the wartabater really did the job, easy to use..  I used it two or three times in the course of a couple weeks on the same warts to make sure I got them good.  Soon they turned brown and I knew that I had killed some wart cells.  It took another few weeks for the new skin to grow under the old dead warts, but eventually they scabbed off, no mess, easy and painless.  THIS THING IS SUCH A GIFT TO HAVE.

Wartabater works for me but only effective when the device induces an intense pain lasting a minute or so.  It feels like being jabbed by a red hot needle.  The pain is such that the instinct is to remove the device from contacting the skin/wart.  I'm usually fairly tolerant of pain as I had described my kidney stone pain level to an ER doctor as 7 out of 10 while most would have answered 10.  The device does have a Hi/Lo switch but I have only used it set to Hi.  The only downside of the device is that one has to keep the probe in contact with the wart for three to five minutes, so watching the clock can be a drag but beats having to see a doctor.

i had plantar warts for two years.. tried a lot of things but salicyic acid 40% is what worked for me.. had tried 17% did not do anything.. But 40% was the magic number, they were gone within about 3 weeks of applying every day. Try a product by the name of wart stick. I also read A LOT of great things about coconut oil, that it melts them.. Look it up on the web, Also 6 ounce glass of organic carrot juice every day and Vitamin A capsules one in the morning one at night. Also astragales herbs build up the immune system with oil of oregano and reishi mushrooms, stay away from anything fried..

Unfortunately, the wartabater leaves a nasty scar in replacement of the wart. I definitely do not recommend this product, particularly if you have warts in sensitive areas such as the genitals

I'm writing this on behalf of my husband who has these facial warts all over his face.  These warts look like raised liver spots that have increased during the years (he didn't have any 25 years ago).  He has gone back and forth to the dermatologist and they all grew back.  I found The Wartabater and suggested that he try it.  Finally, something that works.  Of course, there is the "zing" that you get when you use it and I found out from personal experience that the "low" setting works as well as the "high."  After a few uses, you get use to the zingy feeling.  The magic here is to be consistent with the treatment.  The suggested use is 3 mins on each wart and/or repeated sessions.  The wart will turn dark to black and fall off within 3 days to one week, in my husband's experience.  The warts that have been successfully treated have not returned.  Recently, the unit would not turn off.  I contacted the company and the owner (Rob Jordan) told me to return it and he would repair it.  I bought the unit in May 2009. He was very accomodating.  He not only repaired it, but he upgraded the unit with new parts. Now that's customer service!

After trying different therapies, I bought this device. But it didn't remove my warts. My warts are really stubborn and I had tried almost everything on them. Maybe wartabater works on less stubborn ones.

hello i purchased the watabater and unfortunately did not work for me. I have been using for 4 months and no changes have happened. Is a shame because I spend the 90 dollars. I also tried products from Forces of Nature and did not work either. Unfortunately one more time i will have to go through the painful visit to a dermatologist. Im not big on writing reviews but I wanna let people know that this product dosent work for everyone. Im happy for the people it did.

I'm all with "RonTri", I had the same experience with the wartabater, it works like a dream.  I spent hundreds of dollars and many hours in doctor's offices and nothing ever worked like this has.  I am so glad I tried the wartabater because now I am wart-free and proud of it!!!

I spent over 3 months on traditional treatments with a foot doctor: Scraping & freezing then the salasylic acid treatment.  At the end of the painful process the warts were beat down a little, but still there.  The next step was going to be surgery.  Dr. said it may or may not work.  I had seen the adds for the Wartabater in the Internet and decided to give it a try.  Since my warts seemed to be resilient, I went for the more agressive treatment recommendation.  I used the electronic device repeatedly on the warts.  After about 3 weeks they turned dark brown.  After about 6 weeks it was hard to tell where they had been.  The full 3 month time has not yet passed, but I am very hopeful they will not return.  The wartabater has made a huge difference for me.
