Re: Re: /Merkel cell carcinoma

[Guest guest]

,

I am a member of another group for Merkel Cell Carcinoma and I asked

if they have tried Curaderm and one member replied with this link.

Curaderm was not listed on the link but he suggested that it was like

the Black Salve and gives the same results by burning the top layer of

the skin.

I am not sure if this article is a scare tactic against natural cures

for cancer or the truth? The problem with Merkel Cell Carcinoma is

that the tumor is under the skin's surface and my dad's tumor is

rather large but under 2 " as stated on the " Curaderm " website.

I just wondered what you think since you have tried it.

Thanks, Louise
