Re: Black Salve alternative for skin cancer

I heard this one worked with less fuss (and less pain) from a practitioner:

Surprise: Big medicine discovers cancer cure cures cancer

A new article in the British Journal of Dermatology confirms that a common

weed, Euphorbia peplus, is an effective treatment for some types of skin

cancer. Everyday names for this plant include petty spurge, radium weed, and

milkweed. It's also called " cancer weed, " which kind of tips you off that

regular folks knew it was a cancer cure a long time ago.

We wrote about radium weed a year ago in Issue #12 (you can check out

previous issues at www.cancerdefeatednewsletter.com.) Most likely the Brits

are getting ready to market this natural remedy as a drug. Maybe someone

should tell the poor sods that a Danish company beat them to it, as our

article said last year.

But it was nice of them to provide additional proof for this folk remedy.

In the BJD study, 36 patients were treated for different types of

non-melanoma skin cancer: basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas

and intraepidermal cell carcinomas. After applying sap from the Euphorbia

peplus plant for one month, the study found that cure rates for the three

types of cancer were 57%, 75% and 50%, respectively.

Those numbers are pretty darn good, and they held good 15 months after

treatment, meaning they were true cures.

So Big Medicine has proven again that a known cure for skin cancer actually

cures skin cancer. That's nice, but it's not the most interesting thing

about this. . .

The interesting thing is how predictable the attitude of the researchers is.

After proving the natural remedy works, they warn people not to try it at

home, and raise bogus concerns such as " you might harm your eyes if you get

any sap in them. " In other words, wait for the pharmaceutical drug to come

out.

We're always telling you that Big Medicine is not a reliable source of

information about cancer. They bury valuable natural cures, try to scare

people with unneeded warnings, and sometimes just plain lie. It's not

unusual. It's how things are done.

A warning or two of my own. . .

Let it be noted that melanoma is the real killer when it comes to skin

cancer. And radium weed is probably not a good treatment for melanoma. It's

effective against non-melanoma skin cancers like the ones treated in this

study. But non-melanoma skin cancers can safely be left untreated in nearly

all cases. They aren't serious.

At most, I'd just have a dermatologist keep an eye on my basal cell

carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma every year or two. But good luck with

that. Dermatologists are wild to cut out these harmless little skin lesions.

And it's a major profit center for them, because the lesions are so common.

If you had a sunburn or two in the days of your youth you'll probably get a

BCC when you're middle-aged.

If you want to get rid of a BCC, I guess Euphorbia peplus is a reasonable

choice. Be advised that " milkweed " is also the common name for a different

plant, Asclepias, renowned in North America as virtual catnip for Monarch

butterflies. Don't get this one confused with Euphorbia, the one that cures

skin cancer. Although not native to North America, Euphorbia can be found

here.

Describing what the sap does to your skin, I found a blogger who writes,

" Typically the spot will become 'angry' looking, and break out into a

weeping type sore. You may also see a line or 'lines' moving out from the

spot. These also may break out through the skin. Both areas of reaction may

take two to three weeks to settle, and scab over, and it can look quite

messy for a while. Past this point, the area should start to heal and return

to normal without the cancer. " (http://plantmed.blogspot.com)

The British Dermatology Journal suggests the effects aren't all that bad.

43% of the patients in the study reported no pain and only 14% reported

enough pain to call it " moderate. " It may depend on how frequently you apply

the sap. In the British study, the sap was applied once a day for only three

days. That was enough to completely get rid of 41 of the 48 cancers within a

month.

I think you've got better options for non-melanoma skin cancer. My friend Ty

Bollinger cured BCC's on his own face with an over-the-counter natural

salve. He describes it on page 195 of his book Cancer: Step Outside the Box.

Ty also reveals an " eggplant " treatment for skin cancer which he says cured

the disease in more than 70,000 Australians. Ty's book is one of the best

all-around guides to alternative cancer treatment ever written. Click here
