Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 [wddty.co.uk] Skin cancer: This reader requests help for a friend?s mother with basal cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer) of the head. She?s been prescribed Imiquimod cream (Aldara) but has become very ill since taking it. She experienced nausea, lethargy, depression and very painful headaches. She?s now been advised by the hospital to stop using it (after three weeks of daily use). Does anyone know if there are any long-term side effects? Are there any natural approaches that can help? A few readers have had experience with Aldara. used it on a couple of small skin cancer abnormalities on his face, but it didn?t work. He used it religiously for 45 days with no adverse reactions. , however, has a different story to tell. Her friend developed Primary Cerebral Lymphoma after he was prescribed the cream. ?He spent several weeks in the high dependency ward and came close to death several times, then had to undergo chemotherapy to control the immunological storm that the Aldara precipitated.? She also mentions the case of Beasley, who suffered terrible damage due to Aldara. He won a court case against 3M, the manufacturer responsible for the drug, and all his research can be found on this website: www.aldara1.com. The bottom line is, Aldara is extremely dangerous and should be avoided. As for alternatives, several creams have been suggested, including SunSpot (a blend of glycoalkaloids, aloe vera, salicylic acid, tea tree oil and menthol), Curaderm (see www.curaderm.net) and Raspex (containing ellagitannins from raspberry extract). These have worked for individual readers, but obviously they may not work for everyone. Always carry out your own research before embarking on any treatment. Other recommendations are turmeric (applied externally) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). According to Dr from Australia, PDT actually kills cancer cells without any adverse effects. See www.opalclinic.com. For WDDTY?s natural suggestions for skin cancer, see volume 17 number 2 (May 2006).

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 [wddty.co.uk] Further thoughts on: Skin cancer: This reader requests help for a friend?s mother with basal cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer) of the head. She?s been prescribed Imiquimod cream (Aldara) but has become very ill since taking it. She experienced nausea, lethargy, depression and very painful headaches. She?s now been advised by the hospital to stop using it (after three weeks of daily use). Does anyone know if there are any long-term side effects? Are there any natural approaches that can help? Elaine Hollingsworth, author of Take Control of Your Health and Escape the Sickness Industry (Empowerment Press, 2003), writes in to thank readers for alerting others to the dangers of Aldara (see last week?s broadcast). This drug came close to killing Elaine, and she is not out of the woods yet. For more information on the truth about this drug, see Elaine?s website: http://www.doctorsaredangerous.com/. One reader with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) had a legion frozen with liquid nitrogen by his GP. It left a faint burn mark for about a week, but he?s been clear of BCC for two years. Barry has found vitamin E body cream to be an effective cure for BCC. It needs to be used frequently for a couple of weeks. " Every time you pass the bathroom, dab a little on the lesion. The lesion should disappear within two or to four days, but continue for a few weeks to be sure. " Other suggestions are sodium ascorbate powder (mixed into a thick paste and applied topically) and supplementing with coQ10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I would consider using black salve on the area, especially if it returns. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jane Rowland I have a spot of squamous cell on my leg, about the size of a pencil eraser. It looked like a bright red scab that would not heal. I began applying iodine and 2 weeks later it's gone. There is however, a smooth skin space where it was. Im wondering if I should still go to dermat. or blow it off as cured. Any experience here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 " Scent " May Aid in Skin Cancer Diagnosis The concentration of certain molecules called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) given off by a cancer may ultimately contribute to accurate diagnosis of skin cancer. These results were recently presented at the 2008 annual American Chemical Society meeting. Some dogs can differentiate between benign and cancerous moles with high accuracy. http://www.caring4cancer.com/go/cancer/news?NewsItemId=42495 Blessngs, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thanx Don:I did have an e-mail conversation with the young man I see at the Hep C Clinic and I'm sure he's already talked to the Gastro there about this; however, he did suggest I see my GP first and that if she wanted me to see a Dermatologist and we didn't have one here they would set that up. However, we do have one and he checks my Dad about every 3 months to keep a handle on his growths and changes. Actually, if I were to lay odds 30 yrs ago, I'd never have guessed my Dad to have as much skin cancer as he's had - my fair skin and fair hair come directly from my maternal grandfather and he too found the skin cancers in his day.So, it's never really being scarey for me because I've just always known I'd have skin cancer. But the weird thing is - why now?? Thus, I'm leaning towards good news not anything worrying. I had cervical cancer when I was 24 and a baby when I was 28 - so it showed me that caught in time, cancer does not have to be an ugly word. If anything, I'd worry more about the black spot they've already found on my liver and on one kidney. Perhaps, the ultra sound at the end of the month will be checking up on that.GloriaFrom: Christ <ludichrist2000@...> Sent: Saturday, July 4, 2009 6:47:39 PMSubject: Re: [ ] Vitamin C and Iron effects on Hept C Hi Gloria I have been concerned too about moles and spots. A few of them itch a bunch, and it seems Ive gotten a lot more over the years. Some also change size, and some flake off. My last doctor told me that due to my liver this happens. I will see a new heptologist soon and will ask. I will also see what I can find on the internet. I may have to go see a dermatologist about it. love don in ks From: Gloria <gadamscan (DOT) ca>Subject: Re: [ ] Vitamin C and Iron effects on Hept C Date: Saturday, July 4, 2009, 8:35 PM Now that was an extremely interesting article. Plus it appears that Peg typed all of that information from her research and not just a link to something.I do have a genetic disposition to High Iron that of course was never being tested for, since this is relatively new scientific research. As long as I was within the age of menstruation, I had a tendency toward anaemia. Then my GP says to me one day not that long ago - she was concerned about my high iron and what it meant. So, of course I went online to do some research and then had to have a good laugh. My ancestors were all Northern European, well actually British Isles and my soon to be 84 yr old Dad has always had high iron. Then, of course there was the notable Hep C. Think my GP learned some new medical stuff because of this. Now even funnier is how my one brother who has already been diagnosed with Hep C (and has diabetes) doesn't appear to have the gene for the high iron. I find it very thought provoking about the correlation between high iron and failure to have a sustained response to my first treatment. I'll certainly be asking at the Hep C Clinic at the end of the month.Now - a question to the group - has anybody ever heard anything about treatment with or without the new protease inhibitors having an effect on already existing (more than likely) spots of skin cancer? Again, because of my skin tone and family genes, I am certainly susceptible to skin cancer and actually have already had a couple of treatments on my nose. Recently, a couple of mole like growths I have, have suddenly changed in size etc. I am off to see my GP about this, but just wondered what this group might have knowledge of.You'd think that the Interferon at the very least would have the opposite effect considering it was once used for cancer.Gloria Canada Toolbar : Search from anywhere on the web and bookmark your favourite sites.
