Re: Eschar - oops

[Guest guest]

I posted the other day: " DH had a Squamous Cell Carcinoma on his back,

treated with Cansema

paste containing DMSO. This came off successfully. The paste has been

reapplied from time to time on small areas which come up on the periphery of

the original scar. It has only ever itched, and the paste was reapplied the

other day on small bumps on the periphery after noticable itching, possibly

brought about by the Hoxsey mix causing changes? "

This evening DH asked me to look at the site, which was itching intensely to

one side of the plaster I had covered it with. I had applied a large amount

of Cansema which covered the whole scar site instead of the three smaller

amounts I'd applied some days before on the apparent new, small spots, which

small amount seemed not to have caused any activity. I pulled off the

plaster, expecting to see a crust of brown salve, instead of which I seem to

have pulled off the top of an unexpectedly large, pussy eschar covering the

centre of the original site. This was a big surprise. I cleaned it with

hydrogen peroxide in filtered water, and covered it with a dressing again,

with a little coconut oil on the pad. The instructions I know of for this

are to use petroleum jelly, but I'm reluctant to use that. At the same time,

I don't want the flesh to heal over before all the discharge is out.

I'm very glad we are already on course with our treatment, and have been

looking for sources of the herbs required in Australia; I think I have

located sources for what's needed.

By the way, I thought I would ask this of any with the experience or

information.

I mentioned DH was having his SCC on his back treated with Cansema, and this is

now off and healing well.

On one of the days, before the eschar had come away, the wound exhibited

bleeding when the dressing was taken away. Is this significant?

In the 1960s when my mother had an epithelioma treated by a folk practitioner in

Wales, the legend was that you had to lie very still while the thing came out,

and if it bled, that was curtains for you. My mother didn't lie down, and while

rushing around making tea for visitors (family visiting the sick!), knocked the

top off. She lived to nearly a hundred years old.

When I had my breast tumor removed with Cansema, there was some blood and

pus--did not have any problems. I was told to keep vaseline on after scab

started breaking away to keep it moist so the bandage would not stick to scab

and possibly pull off. Sure was a lot easier than surgery, chemo or radiation.

This was back in 2002--alive and well today. I used TEGADERM clear

bandages--buy from www.vitalitymedical.com (800) 397-5899
