Pros and Cons of Treatment

The main advantages and disadvantages of escharotic use, in my opinion, relate more to the skill and determination of the user and/or his or her practitioner than the treatment itself. Though there are inferior products on the market, the problem of poor information and completely inadequate instructions is far greater than whatever the limitations of the product or method might be.

In the right hands, escharotics constitute an important option for cancer patients. They cause no loss of body parts or function, but the products sold today are aggressive. Thus, there are some disadvantages:

First, most of the products are painful. The pain can be mild to so severe that patients abort the treatment mid-stream. Since this poses risk, pain management has to be considered before use of the salve. There are ways to control the pain, but they need to factored into the treatment before applying the salve or paste. Since pain medications are usually prescription items, patients need to consider the value of working with a holistic physician.

Second, most of the pastes leave scars. Minimizing scarring is highly desirable and covered quite well in my book along with the other issues I consider to be relevant to genuine cancer cure.

Third, experts rarely relied on escharotic use alone to cure cancer. In fact, throughout history, many have said that those who did depend exclusively on the salves were quacks. Proper diet, good immunity, adequate detoxification, and emotional poise are all probably as essential to cure as removing the tumor.

 

 

Over the years, I have developed products and methods that I find preferable to many of the methods used by others. The techniques are gentler but slower than those used by others. I feel they are generally safer so long as the tumors are not growing fast. These are only available to health care professionals.

Note:

It is wise to determine the symbolism of the growth and of the body part in which the growth occurred and to remove the predisposition to cancer by addressing the deeper issues aggravating the tendency towards cancer. Though in some cases, the irritants may be environmental, such as exposure to mold, electromagnetic force fields, radiation, or chemicals, in most instances, life style, stress, and psychospiritual patterns are at the root of the disease. The section called checklist is devoted to adjunctive measures that can support a fuller level of wellness


The pros and cons of escharotic treatment are thoroughly covered in the book.
