This is information I never knew before. To say it surprised me an understatment.

Common cures for lycanthropy:
Draw the Werewolf blood to fainting
Draw the Werewolf 3 drops of blood
A friend of the werewolf gives him three knifes strokes.
Lop off the Werewolf’s penis
(what if it's a girl?)
Flog the Werewolf
Roll the Werewolf in the dew
Purge the Werewolf’s colon and encourage vomiting
Some plants and ingredients: Wormwood, Thyme, Acrid vinegar
Have the Werewolf drink milk and whey for 3 days
In England, rye, cinder, mistletoe, silver and ash trees are good means of protection and you can get away from a werewolf and be safe by climbing up into such a tree.
Rub the Werewolf’s  nostrils with opium before bed
Force the Werewolf to drink salt water
Blowing the head of a werewolf using an iron rod will free the man from werewolf possession
(or kill him. One of the two.)
Hit the Werewolf on the head three times with a knife
Reproach verbally the Werewolf
Address the Werewolf three times with a Christian name 
Salute the Werewolf with a sign of the cross
Splash the Werewolf with holy water


Needless to say, I shan't be using the most horrific of these for any sort of Van Helsing fanfic. I was just amused.
