A member asked:
Can boosting your immune system help you clear genital molluscum? if so how can i boost it .
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's an unknown: Many "non-medical" supplements, foods, herbs, and techniques are claimed to "boost" the immune system, but none have been proven effective. The immune system is complex, and "boosting" it to make it act stronger is not always a good thing. In conditions like arthritis, thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, lupus, eczema, etc..., the immune system is over-acting and damaging the patient's own organs.
