Brooklyn, NY – Insisting that she was simply looking to “help” people, an ultra-Orthodox woman has run an ad in Brooklyn’s Di Tzeitung newspaper championing the use of pigeon blood as a “cure” for warts.

The NEW YORK POST (http://bit.ly/11vABSU) reports that the woman says she ran the ad after the treatment removed a wart on her daughter’s hand.
According to the woman, the treatment is as easy as going to the market and buying a pigeon, letting the blood sit on the wart for an hour, and washing it off.
In her ad, the woman gives a shout-out to the Wallabout Street poultry market for their assistance, but says she has no official affiliation with the market and turned to them only after being unable to find anyone within her own ultra-Orthodox community willing to apply the treatment to her daughter.
The woman does, however, add one “caveat” to using the treatment, and that is that it “does not work” on “gentiles.”
Some members of the Orthodox community have cautioned against the ad, saying that it may become the “object of ridicule.”
Does not work on gentiles,what does that suppose to mean?is she for real how does she know it doesnt work on nonjews unbeleivable,did she do any experiments on goyim?.
What an idiot!! A fool ish fool who will look like a fool only seeking attention.
Are these pigeons shechted or killed? What is the source for this cure?
This is excellent proof that you don’t need treif secular knowledge to be a successful person. This Eishes Chaiyl never went to medical school, probably doesn’t know anything about science, and yet has this wonderful cure for warts. For non-gentiles, of course. I think with a little tinkering and FDA trials, this can be made to work for gentiles as well. מי כעמך ישראל!
They dress like they are in the 1800’s? Why shouldn’t they use medicine of the 1800’s?
This is absolutely 100 % true and effective. Say what you want about it…it works. This is no more “krazy” than the now approved by the medical community use of such as maggots and leeches.
Does it get any Crazier?
From Shakespeare, MacBeth, Act 4, Scene 1:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,
Witches’ mummy, maw and gulf
Of the ravin’d salt-sea shark,
Root of hemlock digg’d i’ the dark,
Liver of blaspheming Jew,
Gall of goat, and slips of yew
Silver’d in the moon’s eclipse,
Nose of Turk and Tartar’s lips,
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Ditch-deliver’d by a drab,
Make the gruel thick and slab:
Add thereto a tiger’s chaudron,
For the ingredients of our cauldron.
Hey everyone out there, lets give her the benefit of doubt. She obviously lives in Williamsburg and doesn’t speak or write well English . She meant to say ” Genital warts”.
This is another of these unknown trends being pushed by people with no knowledge but need for money.
A few years ago I was told to try Fish oil for hyper activity of my special child. The caveat was that I had to use an unlabeled capsule from Israel that claimed to derive the oil from sage plants. The claim was that this origin oil had less side effects. When I tried to get dose information I was unable to get any info except for how profitable it could be and that I should buy in to be an agent.
We now use a branded fish oil. It might be beneficial but should be used under medical advice. There could be side effects including bleeding time changes.
For Gentiles uou need a non-kosher bird. Obviously!
Time for her husband to reign her in, she’s out of control.
Its true I once erev yom kipur had the shochet shecht a pigeon in chicago and used the blood on my sons wart. It disapeared shortly after
Leeches work that I know for sure .Dont know about wart but for more proffesional it definitely works
The proof that this is shtus is that she said it doesn’t work on non Jews. Zeya crunk woman.
This is total mishugoss but there is plenty of mishugoss in de goyishe velt aychet.
This story is for the birds….

Funny, antibiotics were tested on gentiles, and they work for Jews. I don’t suppose she uses pigeon blood for her son’s strep throat…
Is it even halachically allowed to use blood in such a way? I doubt it.
May become?! I think it was created to become such!! How funny, thanks for the good laugh. Doesn’t work on Gentiles! Pigeon blood on warts! Oy!
Thanks owl for taking me back to my HS literature days!
Here’s the best solution: The white liquid on the stem of a fig leaf, where the leaf breaks off the branch. Cured 20 warts on my 7 year old’s hand after nothing else worked.
I guess that I’ve been wrong all these years…looks like Charedim don’t really need a secular education of science and math, or even sechel.
