i am about to undertake making the goldenseal and zinc chloride salve,and i was wondering how one goes about getting zinc chloride. what i have found available to me is a full pound from a compounding pharmacist, and requires a prescription.

are there sources for your goldenseal salve ready made?

thank you...

Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2001 - 07:42 pm:   

Regulations for obtaining zinc chloride appear to vary from state to state. Many people have obtained it without a prescription, but the easiest way to handle this is to buy a small amount of a bloodroot salve, ready-made, and goose the goldenseal salve with a tiny amount of the bloodroot salve, say 5-10% on the first day.

Sacred Medicine Sanctuary provides the base ointment for an enucleating salve to practitioners but not directly to the public because while the product is completely safe, it is not usually strong enough to do the job without the kick of an escharotic.

I have sebaceous cyst on my face of which antibiotics have not helped. The dertmatologist does not think surgery will help that it will grow back. My question is can I use this salve for this purpose and where can I obtain it. Thanks Marie

I used Red Sun Balm on something I think was a sebaceous cyst (on myself -- I didn't have it looked at by anyone.) It contained a lot of waxy material and liquefied before bursting sort of like a pimple. That was many years ago (on my rib cage) and it hasn't come back. Many people have used this for breast cysts that they have been told are benign. It's a bit painful for 2-3 days, depending on where exactly it is, but it's worth a try.

Dear Ms. Naiman:

I read your salves book and thank you for this enormous contribution to health.

My stepson, Ben, age 24, has metasticized stage 4 thymoma. The cancer-ridden thymus gland was removed in November. It was the size of a grapefruit! Seedlings had spread and are growing on the walls of both lungs, the aorta wall and where the thymus used to be.

He has turned to alternative medicine as radiation & chemotherapy don't look promising. He appears very healthy constitutionally and has been a vegetarian, health-minded person all his life. As you suggest, we are attacking this from all sides: spiritual & emotional as well as physical.

I just wanted to get confirmation that from what I read in your book, he would not be a good candidate for salve treatment due to the type of cancer, depth of the cancer and its metastastatic state. I was intrigued by the anecdote of the woman who took an echarotic in tablet form for lung cancer (p.36). Do you have a recipe for the tablet? Do you reccommend it? My stepson has been on Hoxsey tonic since December. Would Hoxsey have the same sort of effect as the tablet? Do you know of any success stories for someone in his situation and what they used?

Thank you, Cecile Harrison

Dear Cecile,

This is an unusual cancer. I think I have even read that cancer of the thymus does not occur since the gland itself usually atrophies . . . sorrowful commentary on our civilization.

Basically, an external product does not sound suitable, but it's always hard to tell. I have been speaking with a lawyer lately who has a black salve in clinical trials. They are using it internally and are very hopeful, but the formal trials are not completed at this time.

If the product is understood and Ben himself wants to try it, I can put you in touch; but I have limited experience with the product. It seems similar to those discussed in my book, but the formula is, of course, partly a secret.

Is Ben on our tonic or the one from the clinic in Tijuana? They are quite different. I wish you and Ben a happy outcome and hope you will keep us posted about what seems to help Ben the most.

Dear Ms. Naiman,
Thank you for your response. Yes, please do put us in touch with the lawyer using the salves internally. Ben is on the Hoxsey tonic that his brother brought back for him from the Biomedical Clinic in Tijuana, not the one in your book. Do you feel that your recipe is a better bet? We'd be willing to try it. It seems like many ingredients are the same with these tonics. Essiac also shares some primary ingredients. We are aware, however, that the Hoxsey tonic has been altered over the years.
Thank you again,
Cecile Harrison

Cecile,

Please contact me privately.

The recipe for the Hoxsey tonic in my book came from court records. Hoxsey was arrested more times than anyone else in history and was eventually forced to divulge the ingredients in his various preparations. The method for making the products remained proprietary, but I suspect it does not mean very high standards from an herbal perspective.

It contains a great deal of potassium iodide. Though the herbs are understood to have anti-cancer properties, they are not the primary ingredients in the formula produced by those carrying on the Hoxsey work.

Our formula is herbal. It contains the correct herbs in a much higher potency. It does not have any potassium iodide but has some Irish moss.

Just a note that zinc chloride is freely available from most chemical supply companies (although usually not in U.S.P. grade); however, chemically pure grade is easily obtainable.

I have reached Chapter 10 in your book, only to read that these methods are not recommended for metastasized cancers. My mother has breast cancer that has metastasized to her liver. After chemotherapy the tumor has reduced to less 2cm, less than half its original size, yet she is still feeling very poorly. She can hardly eat and is not doing well at all. If these salves are not appropriate for her, what should I do? I am desperate. I also do not know how to go about looking for professional alternative doctors. Any recommendations? I am in the Los Angeles area. Thank you.

Posted on Friday, December 07, 2001 - 04:37 am:   

What isn't clear here is whether your mother started using a salve and the doubt has arisen since reading chapter 10?

The issue here is similar to that of surgery. If a doctor were certain that cancer was present in multiple sites, he would probably conclude that a localized treatment would not be adequate. Therefore, he would suggest chemotherapy since it is the only systemic treatment offered by modern oncologists.

Likewise, if cancer were present in the breast and the liver, one would have to decide whether topical treatments would be more or less effective than an internal treatment that would also be less difficult to manage. The internal treatment would also be more likely to restore appetite and energy.

I think your mother needs a consultation with an expert who can guide her through the nuances of diet, life style, and options that are available to her.

This said, I want to differentiate a metastatic tumor that is believed to be the only tumor from metastatic lesions that exist at the same time as the original. For instance, if someone had breast cancer and the tumor was removed but some years later a lesion was found in the liver, using the salve would definitely be an option.

Best wishes!

Yes, several people have used them, but you also want to read the new study on wormwood:

http://www.cancersalves.com/products/wormwood.html

The salves are very aggressive and when the bone is involved, the pain could be excruciating. If the tumor is large and occupies a significant portion of the bone, the bone could break, but amputation is probably too radical to consider so finding a strategy that feels safe and acceptable is the challenge.

I think you'd be sorry. I really think that delicate areas need to be addressed with less painful substances that are not oil-based. One could try the Fox liniment or a very simple poultice of goldenseal and turmeric.

I just came across your site and am not sure what exactly all these salves are about. It sounds interesting, but kind of painful and scary to take on... My history is that I had an infiltrating ductal carcinoma, less than 2 cm with 1 node involved. Took chemo and radiation standard treatments. Was fine for 7 months. Recurred as "inflammatory type" or in the skin bumps. Underwent 9 mos. of hyperthermia/low dose radiation and Herceptin. Cleaned up the problem. Within 2 months it was back. It has now spread over the entire breast and underarm/side area. Also another area started on the upper back, not touching or related to the breast. It is VERY itchy and the breast is hard. In the last 3 months, the bumps have started to break open and bleed. It is also starting to show up on the other breast and armpit area. They are like pea sized bumps and close to the top of the skin. I am wondering whether any of these things you offer would help. Basically my oncologist has written me off and said this is only going to get worse, with infection and foul odor, and then take me "home". I have an acquaintance whose hubby went to a Mexican clinic and was given some black stuff to put on a tumor on his back and they were both amazed that it fell off as they walked on the beach and he is fine. I am getting some of the Pipsissewa to try for the itching. The tightness of the breast and surrounding arm area is really becoming a problem also. What suggestions would you have for someone like me?

Posted on Tuesday, March 26, 2002 - 11:35 am:   

Yikes!

Basically, I would suggest some kind of evaluation to figure out what is really going on, perhaps a darkfield microscope examination of the blood. I have seen these sorts of situations and detoxification does tend to reduce the itchiness (and I think coptis works better than pipsissewa for itching but I don't know as many people using it, probably because I tend to recommend coptis.)

Itchiness that is accompanied by redness suggests some kind of toxicity. You might therefore find that poultices that draw out toxins really help. My experience is also that these conditions are worse at the time of the full moon so that is when you want to address them most rigorously.

The salves will work, usually on one bump at a time, but the internal tonics will work systemically and usually with less effort.

If there is infection, which would seem to be the case, you are always on terra firma when you try to boost immunity. For this, we have many formulas. The Scrophularia works beautifully. Indigo Drops helps also but especially when there is swelling in the nodes. Astragalus is a general immune booster, very mild and easy to use. I suggest rotating or varying them because the body likes to have choices and each receptor cell can make that choice if given a smorgasbord from which to choose.

I wish you the best.

Thanks for your reply. Let me see if I understand everything.
1.Is there a way to find a practitioner in my area who knows about these things? (I had a darkfield done a year ago, but that was in another state and the cancer was pretty much in remission. My blood looked good at that time. Now with the spread of the cancer to larger parts of the skin, I am sure the cells are putting out a lot more toxicity.
2. What type of poultice would you suggest to pull the toxins out?
3. Are you saying that the internal salve will work the same as the topical? These bumps are so close to the top of the skin that I feel like I could just "peel" them off somehow. But there are many that are connected and some that are deeper, so I would be concerned about it going further than just one bump at a time. And which salve would be the one to use? Or is that "in the book"?
3.I don't know if there is any infection or not. I do use some immune boosters now such as RM-10 and AIM barley green plus juicing. I recently did a parasite cleanse. I also do colonics every few weeks and use a daily Fiberblend (psyllium plus herbs.) My oncologist says I am a healthy person as long as you don't look at the breast!! I have raised my WBC up from 2.1 to 5.5 in the last year.
4. You mentioned you had some old books for $2.50 without covers...how would I get one of those to take a look at all this and decide if it is a direction I can take?
Thanks so much for your patience. I know I am asking a lot of questions but this is a pretty new concept to me and I AM interested.

Please send me a fax or private email about the referral and book.

Since your situation requires expert management, it would not feel responsible on my part to imagine that I could come up with adequate solutions without a fuller understanding of what is going on and how you are managing the challenges.

About 2 weeks ago, my regular doctor removed a growth from the outer rim of my ear. He sent the sample to the lab and confirmed that it squamous cell carcinoma. He called me and said that he needed me to come back to his office so he could "remove" any runners not taken out the first time. The question is, before submitting to his knife again, should I attempt black salve on the area or ??? I would appreciate your suggestions. Kit

Oh, gosh,

I have photographs of a few people who have done this. The reactions were far more extensive than they anticipated. I would try something gentler first: the internal tonics and maybe some liniment (like the Fox one we make) or a fungal-type cream that might address more than one issue. The question will be how the doctor will know whether or not he has everything? He can't really see. He has to cut and hope he is on the right track. Where are you? Maybe I can refer you to someone with experience.

Best wishes,

Ingrid, Thank you for your quick response. My thoughts exactly re knowing where to cut away. I recently started using "SkinAnswer" on the surface. I do not know what it is doing but I feel a slight "drawing " sensation. Will internal tonics work on external areas as well? I live in Tyler, Texas. Perhaps you may know of someone in this area to consult with in person. Thank you very much. Kit

Kit,

Personally, I believe that cancer is systemic. If it weren't, the blood tests wouldn't be useful. Anti-cancer herbs, detoxification, pH balancing, avoidance of GMO, irradiated, and preserved food all make sense. Some people have a budget for wellness. Some will commit to whatever it takes. I tend to assume that most people will not really spend a realistic amount on their healing, but I certainly know those who leave no stone unturned and explore every aspect of illness as well as healing.

The internal approaches are more expensive than the external, but, in my opinion, they are deeper and more lasting. This said, I'll wager that 90% of patients don't take my advice seriously enough to try the internal in conjunction with the external. I've been at this a long time, way too long to ram anything down anyone's throat. So, I tread this precarious middle way: I don't rant and rave when I am sure people are making mistakes and I don't insist on anything. The information is there and people can assess using whatever measurements they find appropriate to their circumstances. Still, without jumping up and down too much, I have to say that I feel the internal treatments are invaluable.

Dear Ingrid, In your section on parasites you mentioned the word "vermes" written by Hildegard von Bingen as to translate as "viruses" and "lice".I am sorry to read such nonsense for the only possible translation for the "vermes" is "worms". "Vermes" is Latin for "worms". May I suggest this correction to you?
Ask your local catholic priest for confirmation if in doubt. Accuracy in this type of writing is of the utmost importance I feel and therefore I was at once prompted to write this comment. Keep up the good work!

Hans,

I felt so strongly about this myself that I worded it very carefully. There are, as you probably know, many doctors in Germany practicing "Hildegard medicine." It was the medical doctor translators who chose to use the word "viruses," but I personally feel that she was seeing some microscopic organism through her clairvoyance and that we do not really have a clue what it was. The person who offered "lice" as a possibility is Austrian, a translator by profession, and a cancer patient. I asked her how many possibilities there might be for this word, and she added "lice" to the list.

Interestingly, my book has just been translated into German, and I asked them to refer back to the original 12th century manuscript and use whatever word Hildegard actually used and whatever footnotes are required.

I had a discussion just yesterday with someone about microscopic things that are long like worms that I felt might contribute to lymphatic congestion. People just aren't asking enough of the really basic questions, but people like you keep me on my feet!

Thanks for your input.

Posted on Wednesday, June 26, 2002 - 10:02 am:   

Dear Ingrid,

My mother had been fighting a skin cancer which we treated with bloodroot paste. It worked as indicated but then would keep forming new eschars, at least 3-4 times. What we later discovered is that while going through this she also had Stage III advanced ovarian cancer. A few weeks ago she had a total hysterectomy, etc.
Could it be that the reason for so many eschars was that it was pulling from the cancer elsewhere in her body?

Are there any herbs that are very specific to ovarian cancer? I've heard red clover and chapparral may be which I read in your book.
My mother has refused chemo and is working with a naturopath/MD but he doesn't have much confidence in herbs. He has her on a high calcium supplement program with Knox gelatin which raises the ph level. It is a program which has had a lot of success which you can read at NCRF.org. My mother however is really having a hard time in digesting these supplements, especially the gelatin which sits like glue in her stomach. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Posted on Friday, June 28, 2002 - 03:28 am:   

Mel,

It doesn't surprise me that the gelatin "sits like glue" but it does sound like one of those old remedies from the past. Without knowing more about this, I can't really comment on the wisdom of it, but if your mother isn't tolerating it, then it probably would be wise to look for something else to alkalize her system, like green drinks!

I am on the road now, not at my desk with all my reference books. Chaparral has worked for some people, unfortunately not for many, but when it works, it's truly worth the effort.

I think your hunch about the eschars is right.

Good luck to both of you.

Ingrid, after reading the FAQ'S posted above, I hesitate to ask you such a frivilous question that I have. I am 67 years of age & have 6-8 moles on my upper chest & up to my neck. Should I use one of the mild external salve (or a tincture ointment) on these? They are not painful or inflamed, but worrisome. Also, my wife has had two squamous cell Carcinomas removed surgically, one on the fleshy part of the upper arm, the other on the calf of one of her legs. If she has any other growths like these appear, should we use one of the salve formulas you recommend in your book? I haven't ordered your book yet, but I'm going to. The information you provide is inspiring, keep up the good work. Garland

Thanks, Garland!

You will find that many of your issues are addressed in the book. I do not think anyone should attempt this treatment without reading and understanding the material in my book.

Our experience with bloodroot pastes is that some moles respond and others do not. One person with three moles successfully removed two but the third did not respond. It's trial and error, but unless you read the book, there could be more error than necessary.

Best wishes,

I just found your site and am really intrigued by it. I actually found it by finding your book on E-Bay (which I am definitely going to buy, by the way!)I have always believed in, studied and used the healing properties of herbs. Here is my question: My sister has a friend, a wonderful lady, who has bone cancer. By the time they found it, it had already attacked her spinal column, so she has lost some 5 or so inches in her height. I searched through the board and have not found anything regarding this type of cancer. Is there an herbal preparation that could help her? I didn't see it mentioned regarding your book, also, so I was wondering if you would know anything that might help cure or promote healing in bone cancer situations.

Thank you so much for your help and for setting up this wonderful site!

You might want to read the post under zinc chloride on May 19 because some of the response would be similar here. The backbone, to use an apt metaphor, of most holistic treatments is correcting for deficiency conditions, on the premise that the body has an inherent capacity to heal itself if the nutrients required for this are available. Sometimes, people eat decent and appropriate food but their assimilation is so poor that they don't benefit. Understanding this and overcoming the issue is very important.

This said, I have used various poultices on the spine and seen absolutely remarkable changes in a matter of hours. So, it's always worth a try, but the patient would have to be willing and probably would also require assistance for some time. I can't say often enough how important expert supervision is because so many people with good intentions are trying to generate miracles that would astonish the pros . . . and I honor them for their efforts and successes, but it has to be scary when one has no idea what might happen.

This said, I would get one of the better juicing books and concoct some recipes that are specific for bone deficiencies and see if anything helps. I can't even begin to imagine the pain involved when someone has lost so much height.

Are there any supplements or foods that are contraindications to black salve--in other words, make it ineffective? It seems I read that a person using black salve should not eat garlic but I have not been able to verify this.

I'm the anonymous person who posted to the scar section about internal scarring due to implants. I can't seem to post there now. Anyway, I am curious about Compound Syrup Scrophularia as it reduces fibrin. Would it be applicable to use in my situation? Is there a practitioner close to my area that I could consult about using it? I live in the Youngstown, Ohio area.

I don't have any idea about this, but red clover is often used by herbalists to reduce scarring. It's in the Trifolium Compound, my version of a Hoxsey-like tonic and recently renamed Sundance Elixir. It's also a phytoestrogen so some people don't want to use it and others do. How would you monitor your body to know if the approach is working for you?

Thanks for taking the time to address this weird issue, Ingrid. You're the tops!! I think that I would definitely be able to tell if there is any progress after taking a formula. I'm in tune and very aware of my body. The main lump that is caused by the scar tissue is very defined and obvious. (pretty scary too) I don't know what the secondary lump on the breastbone is being caused by. I think it is inflammation due to the pulling. I was diagnosed with costochondritis by a rheumatologist years ago. I am starting to get worried now as in the last 2 days I felt a pain in my lower left rib cage on my side- almost like when you get a bruise. I wondered what I banged into...well there is no bruise but there is a prominent painful lump/thickening on my last rib and I am now having pain in both the spleen and liver areas in my front stomach area just below my rib cage. It's accompanied by a 'full' swollen feeling. So in addition to my chest and upper back hurtng, my abdomen is now an issue too. I am wondering if the new issues are due to swollen lymph nodes but that ugly "c" word comes to mind. You just can't go on for years with a massive scar irritiating the surrounding tissue and not have concerns that your system is going to start deviating. I think it is time to splurge on some medical insurance and see a doc to get some tests done. It's been a year since I've seen my doc and then just for a sinus infection... just because I can't stand dealing with the situation of what to do with my breast lumps...my family doctor said see your gyno, my gyno said see your surgeon. Are there any natural medical practitioners in my area that can prescribe the formulas on your website? I decided that this week I am going to "deworm," do a liver cleanse and maybe do some fasting or enemas and just clean out the plumbing in general. Then I'd like to get on some kind of formula or supplements that will work on dissolving this mess. I know if I tell my family doc what I'm planning to do, he will think I'm nuts. Do you have any personal experience with the serrapeptase or a product called naticor which contains both serrapeptase and the enzyme found in natto?

Aurora (and others),

As those of you who subscribe to this site know, I was in Germany recently. While there, I had an opportunity to look at the blood of many cancer patients. Virtually all of them had blood parasites. Nothing about this would necessarily suggest that there are also intestinal parasites, liver flukes, etc., etc., etc., and so forth. However, it was only a few days before the trip that I watched a fascinating documentary on the Discovery Health channel in which it was stated that two-thirds of all people who ever lived on this Earth died of malaria. How exactly one knows this is a big question. When I mentioned this to my German colleagues, they maintained that there is no malaria in Germany. Well, maybe or maybe not. With global warming, one cannot be sure. Moreover, not only do people travel but mosquitoes bite people who have traveled as well as those who have not. In short, we saw a simply amazing array of blood parasites . . . and, of course, have no idea what they are or where they came from because they are not discussed in parasitology books.

Continuing. You can x-ray a distended belly and see nothing abnormal even if there are parasites. Likewise, one can do tests for parasites and miss them. So, it's not unreasonable to check for these or treat yourself as if they were present, obviously using something non-toxic because prescription parasiticides are full of toxic metals.

Last night, I surfed a number of veterinary web sites and saw recommendations for worming once a month. Most people would only do this once every six months, but we know a lot more about animal parasites than we do about people ones.

I am very partial to the Rain Tree Amazon A-P formula because there is no stomach gripping associated with it, nor is there any infection due to die off. As such, it is probably the best formula I have explored to-date, but I am always looking for good formulas for every condition, not just parasites.

As for your other questions and comments, I would perhaps ask you whether you want to buy insurance and then be governed by what they will and will not cover or whether you prefer to retain those funds and allocate them as you see fit? I have a fairly dim view of insurance companies and wonder how many will go the way of Enron? Unless and until therapies that are safe as well as efficacious are covered, insurance seems mostly like another scam, loudly portrayed as something that will enhance your security and peace of mind -- that is, until you try to make a claim. We have to remember that the ads are written on Madison Avenue but the claims office is probably in rural India or somewhere else where they can coach people into saying "no" with any accent you prefer. Maybe I'm having a cynical day, but gone is integrity in most big businesses . . . and the small ones are not providing insurance.

I myself am very cynical about conventional medicine and the control the insurance companies seem to have over the medical community. The reason I am considering insurance is for diagnostic tests that I know will be ordered if I look for medical care with my symptoms. Several years ago I was sent in to have an MRI and since I had no insurance and couldn't pay for it up front I was refused. I took my son into emergency once for an ankle injury and had to pay for all services up front... that time I was able to do so. For a few years we had insurance through my husband's job and the company had a habit of ignoring doctors when they sent in forms and then later said it was too late to collect. The only real advantage seemed to be that we could actually get care if we flashed our insurance card. BTW- I looked for the Rain Tree formula on your site and can't seem to find it.

Hello,
My name is David and I'm currently assisting a friend with advanced cancer. He is 70 years old, has history or drinking. The cancer is in his lungs and has spread to a lot of his bone structure. I am actively working to get him out of the hospital and onto a truly healthy regimen. The holistic professionals I've been consulting say to slowly transition him on a cooked microbiotic diet. Does anyone have any recipes or a meal plan that would be appropriate for this? Thank you for your help.

Hello Ingrid; and others;
I've just now been experiencing an improvement regarding this squamous cell cancer which has resulted in oral tumors on my lower gums...I attribute much of the healing to staying on top of the parasite problem..I've been using the zapper and Dr.Clark's parasite method which is very simple...
Wormwood caps..2 cps per day.
Black Walnut Husks..2 cps per day.
Cloves.... 2 caps per day.

I usually do them a few hours before bedtime so that I'm not kept awake by parasite die-off..I've gotten to the point where I can tell when the parasites have increased in activity and drain my energy levels...After a few days of this method above; my energy return to me, and so I can only conclude that cancer relies upon parasites to strenghten its malignancy.

I have also been fasting an praying the last few days and have experienced a marked decrease in the size of the tumors and in fact one has diminished so much that there's just a flap of skin left; much like the loose skin over a burst blister..

I'm also using..
HerbalVeil Internal tonic
and capsules..

I'm encouraged by what you've written regarding the blood parasites in cancer patients as it shows that there is definitive advantages to doing these parasite cleanses...Is the method I'm using and the ingredients killing off these blood parasites?

Godbless and thanks..<

I just got back from another trip to Europe. On this trip, I had the occasion to explore the blood of a few patients who had been using the zapper. Based on cursory review of a small number of cases, I would say that the zapper is not destroying all parasites. Moreover, the dead parasites continue to drift in the blood. They are clearly dead, but they are not being consumed by either bacteria or white blood cells. Many parasites appear resistant to the zapper so while it may have some merits, it did not appear to be a panacea. This said, I want to say that these observations were based on a very small number of patients.

Secondly, many herbal formulas did destroy parasites, but in an enormous variety of different ways. Die off is clearly a problem when there are many parasites and poor capacity to eliminate debris.

Hello Ingrid and others;
I find it fascinating that one of the names that the Bible has given to Satan is "Beelzebub"--that is "lord of the flies", which we know lay eggs that hatch larvae that appear as worms or parasites...The patriarch Job complained about the "skin worms" devouring his flesh, and King Herod died of a disease brought about by parasites as recorded in the scriptures and historical text covering that period..

Just some thoughts...

Ingrid
Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 01:00 am:   

I do not think this is a very good idea. Some people have used a cayenne salve on small lipomas but even this can be painful for a few days. Where there are multiple appearances, I personally prefer to see systemic treatments, ones that would regulate digestion, fat metabolism, and whatever else might be contributing to these growths. A very good and prolonged detoxification program involving lots of foods that have live enzymes and that are rich in probiotics would be something to consider in addition to all the usual efforts to regain control over a body that seems to be skidding off course. By this, I mean that when one develops a condition that one didn't have before, one starts to examine everything in one's history, one's environment, one's diet, and one's life style that might be contributing to the crisis. In theory, there is a solution for every problem but it always entails finding the cause. In your case, you probably need to find someone who is willing to think outside the box.

After doing the treatment to get rid of the yeast infection I have been itch free for about a week, now suddenly i am itching all over, mainly started my head, hands and feet but now is neck, arms stomach. Could i still have a yeast infection of the body. I haven't changed any products i use or wash with including laundry.

Duette,

By now your eschar probably detached. This stage is difficult because, as you noted, movement causes pain where the eschar is still attached. You should try to remain as still as possible and keep the area clean through proper hygiene.

Good luck.

HelloIngrid;
We have conversed before in previous messages and you were interested in hearing about my progress in treating this Squamous Cell Cancer..I have been able to isolate the parasites that I believe are partly responsible for the tumor growth and in fact the tumors that were in the mouth have now pushed through the lower lip to form a tumor on the chin..I have now applied an escharotic salve to the new tumor and it is doing what those salves do..Thank God..Meanwhile I have pictures of the parasites and wondering if you would like to see them and perhaps even identifiy them..I have been trying to send you the pics and even plain text but the messages keep returning; perhaps because of your virus protection program..If you would like to see this message with the picturesof the parasites; then please contact me and give me an email address that works..

Ingrid - My mom has Stage IIIc Ovarian Cancer. I am looking for someone who has had successful experience in dealing with this specific type of cancer. It was brought on, in my opinion due to prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy. She has taken several mostly ineffective treatments of chemo and initially has surgery which removed spleen, ovaries, part of stomach and more. She is having a very difficult time eating and keeping any kind of food down and only seems to be eating things that aren't especially healthy involving white flour, potatoes, etc. Do you know of anyone who can help?

I was diagnosed with malanoma of the vulva and was schedule for surgery in december 2003 and felt I needed to check out other alternative treatmaents. I have detoked my body for 30 days with homeopathics and juicing organic vegatables and did ozone sauna treatments also. I was told by several folks to use black salve by can-x co.. and used it twice recently and and it burn for 6 to8 hours but was tolerable compared to going for surger a MD ANDERSON FOR SURGERY AND BEING NUTERED. I have been seing Dr Wm. Cowden who wrote a book about cancer and he did kineseology on me with the can-x and said I should use it three times in a row and it would kill the cancer cells, but not apply on the uretha. I am not sure if he really knows how powerful this stuff is and if it is necessary to apply it 3 times in a row, and how will I know if it is gone, because it is alighter shade of black now. I am not sure also howto take care of the cleaning and how to keep out any infections as it heals up. I want to share that my Doctor said I got this from toxic emotions, teeth infections of crowns, old mercury fillings that were in my mouth that needed to be removed, pestisides in my body and other toxic chemicals like famaldyhde from fabrics at work inviroment, and geopathic stress lines on my bed and under sofa.I do feel better since I have cleared alot of these issues up but still need to build up my immune system and work on the emotional part. I would appreciate your help and any comments.

Hi Ingrid,

I have visited your wonderful site a few times and seem to be having difficulty getting a response. Perhaps I am not doing something correctly so I will try again. I am doing research for a friend who spent time in Afghanistan(about 3 weeks). During that time she took double or triple the dose of black salve internally to protect against parasites. She did not always take it with a meal but did not experience any nausea. She did have a bowel movement of a large amount of black tarry stuff, realized she was taking too much and stoped taking it immediately. About 2 weeks after returning home, she and the rest of her group began experiencing flu-like symptoms and profound fatigue. She went to a doctor who said her red blood cell count was very low and she would die if she did not have a transfusion. My friend refused to have a transfusion or take any drugs. Instead she fasted on juice and took supplements. A dark field microscopy showed that the membrane of her red blood cells was bursting. There is no sign of anything wrong with her organs. She thinks she has been exposed to depleted uranium. Her case is complicated by the fact that she took these large doses of Black Salve internally and knew she was hemmhoraging in an area below the liver. So my question is: have you ever heard from anyone who has taken large amounts of black salve what the consequences were? We are trying to find out what symptoms were caused by DU exposure and what were caused by the salve. She appears to be totally healed at the moment but I am concerned about what might happen in the future. I would be grateful for any information you might have. Thank you.

Hum! Barbara, I posted something and my system froze. I wonder who the little internet demons are?

I wish I had been there to see the darkfield view of your friend's blood. Your suspicions are probably correct because I have seen this with people who were treated radiologically. It's a big concern for me. I lay awake for hours sometimes wondering what will shift this in the quickest and safest manner.

As for the black salve, it tends to arrest bleeding so my best guess, just a guess, is that there is another explanation for the internal hemorrhaging. I hesitate to speculate, but it could be some kind of toxin.

Your friend seems to have healthy instincts. We have seen really wonderful improvements in the blood with fasting. In just a few days, there can be almost complete transformation. However, in your friend's case, we have to worry a bit about bone marrow suppression. Under the right circumstances, everything can be reversed. Please keep me in the loop here. I pray constantly for the day in which we can all live in peace and with sane politics and medicine. Please give my best personal regards to your friend.

Karen,

I met Dr. Cowden once and have read what he wrote in the big book! You are probably right that this is not his area of expertise. You are also right to question the safety of the treatment because, as you surmised, it will be difficult to prevent infection. Karen, it's not impossible, but it's really challenging to keep a site clean that has moisture. I honestly do not have advice because you have started something and only you know whether you can bear the pain and manage the side effects. This said, Dr. Cowden should be willing to prescribe pain relievers because he surely understands that you will not be able to face this without both fortitude and relief from the worst.

Immunity is easy to build up. Our formulas are excellent. Emotional work is time consuming. You identify the patterns that aren't working for you. Then, you have to develop strategies to shift them, practice the new approaches to former challenges, and you will probably fail a few times before you finally succeed. Patterns are deep and have causes that are real so it takes a while to learn new ways to handle issues as they arise. This said, it is one of the many reasons we are here: perfect ourselves and do as much that is worthwhile as we can.

Now, for the daughter of the lady with ovarian cancer. This is a very difficult kind of cancer, but it is curable under the right conditions and with the right protocols and life style and diet. However, you can't do the work for your mother. You can be there for her, help with the research, but she has to identify the cause of her problem and the cure. Once she knows what she needs to know, she can turn around the situation, but you can only nudge, not substitute for her.

Good luck. All of you who have posted recently have your hands full with challenges. God bless all of you.

Ingrid, Thank you for your site! I just ordered your book. I applied black salve six weeks ago to what was probably a flesh eating spider bite.
The pain lasted about two weeks. I only used one very small bit of black salve. It is taking a very long time for the yellow and white dead corpusles? to leave the site. The eschar fell off about the l4th day. I had some bitterroot and used that one night as a poltice.
Mostly I just keep unvaseline on it. I want the
yellow part to go away. The hole is anxious to heal up. Have you any cases where people have used black salve to treat a flesh eating spider bite? would you recommend using the salve for two treatments if there is debris that is taking a long time to go away. It hardly drained at all.
Mostly I guess my body is absorbing a debris. The process seems very slow. What about soaking it with water containing Burt's Bees Therapeutic Crystals containing Sea Salt, lemon oil, sodium bicarbonate, rosemary oil eucalyptus and vitamin E. I'm afraid to do much of anything with it. Mostly I trust my gut. It does seem to be healing. The yellow and white debris is taking so long to go away.
Thanks again for your time and site.

My father is 81 and is fit as a fiddle, but has been diagnosed w/ parotid cancer. I used the black salve on my mom 12 years ago to remove a liver tumor and everything went well, so he wanted to use the black salve on his parotid gland. I applied it and sure enough many white, pus-filled cysts came out along w/ other massive infectious discharge. Now however, the parotid gland itself seems to be protruding out of the 'incision' and drools everytime he eats. It won't go back inside (if that is indeed what it is) and the incision won't heal. Also, the surrounding skin tissue is thick, red, hard and inflamed. Perhaps I should continue w/ the goldenseal salve. I just don't know at this point. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply Ingrid. I gave myself a birthday present and applied another dose of black salve to the spider bite place on May 23.
So far that was a good decision although much pain. I also had it in a healing hot spring
that was very hot. It hurt even more after that. However the next day it finally began to drain a little and the pain began to subside.
I am again encouraged because it seems to be pulling more bad stuff to the center.
This is definitly an educational experience.
I think another eschar will be falling off next week, and hopefully this time it will take more of the bad stuff with it. Happily I received your book today!!!!thanks for the quick delivery. Charlotte

Sherrie,

Oh, gosh. This is impossible to interpret from a distance. You obviously want to manage this reaction very carefully. I might suggest seeing someone experienced with the salve. If there is infection, the treatment site could ooze for a long time, really a long time. If you tell me where you are located (using the contact form on sacred-medicine.org), I might have a referral for you in your area.

What I have on hand and have used for two days is emu oil and a little goldenseal sprinkled in the hole. The emu oil is very soothing and it softens the yellow. I have pulled out about five strands of yellow with much patience since they did not want to let go. I need to get on with my next chapter of life (Cataract Operation next week). So I plan to let the little crater heal up starting tomorrow even if there is still persistent yellow there. I have learned so much. Thank you.
Spider Bite Charlotte p.s. Your book is wonderful. I am still reading it and learning.

Charlotte,

I can see you are overwhelmed by all the challenges, but it isn't a good idea to let the crater close up until all the morbid material is gone!

Good luck.

Dear Ingrid,
Thanks for your help. I have continued with a paste of Emu Oil and Tumeric. The tiny bits of
hardened white stuff are diminishing slowly.
I have recently met two other women who had similar flesh eating spider bites years ago. One woman "who dug it out for months" has a large area of discoloration on her leg. The other woman left it alone and now has a large hardened lump under the skin of the area.
I am happy to see that the skin around the area
of my bite has almost returned to normal coloring and is smooth.The small central area continues to disappear. I am pretty much free of pain and even took a long walk without pain for the lst time in almost two months. Yaaaa! I went ahead with the cataract operation. I am so glad I had postponed that until after the black salve had done its work. This process has slowed me down whether I liked it or not. I am just now beginning to get back to my normal schedule.
Thanks again!! Charlotte

For the sake of others who might be reading this, can you clarify exactly what these bites are? Does the spider inject something into the tissue that causes disintegration of the tissue (like a venom) or is the spider carrying some bacterial infection that causes this? I am assuming the spider itself is long since gone?

Dear Ingrid,
The spider injects a venom that causes disintegration of the tissue. The tissue is necrotisized (sp?). Fortunately the black salve started pulling on the area before it got to the calf muscle. I'm glad I used it! Recently I have learned that for venomous injections by spiders or snakes etc a 50,000 volt stun gun can be used on the site. You zap the area of the injection one to three times. Some South American missionaries swear by it. We have rattle snakes on our property. Next time one injects a horse or ???? we are going to try the stun gun treatment. They say it will also work with venomous spider injections, wasps, anything that injects venom
Best Wishes. My leg is doing so well and I'm regaining my life again. Charlotte

Charlotte,

I had a nasty experience with spider bites in 1995. Because I only addressed the venom and not the bacterial neurotoxin, I ended up more or less unable to walk for almost a year. I could walk but the pain was so severe that I didn't want to try. Basically, the venom is something like a gastric secretion that allows the spider to turn your flesh to a soup that makes ingestion easier. The neurotoxin is to keep the dinner from leaving. It does not affect the lungs so the victim continues to have normal respiratory function but doesn't move very far.

You described a flesh eating creature so I assume that part of the issue is that there is a bacterial component to the experience that continues decomposing the tissue long after the spider itself has finished its dinner.

I have heard of the shock treatment, of people who used a 12 volt car battery. I have no idea why this works, but then I am "chemistry" and am pretty dim when it comes to electricity.

This said, neutralizing venom is not too difficult. It might be something as simple as changing the pH or molecular structure. My concern is simply that the bacteria or risk thereof is adequately addressed. I think the black salve probably does a good job on such infections, but I defer to you and your experience because you are the one who tried this and who seems to have succeeded.

Congratulations!

Hi, I was recomended by Charlotte the spider lady, :-) She has helped me so much through this ordeal, Started out a one periodically bleeding flat area size of an eraser head under my breast (thought it was a plantars wart or mole for years or something?) Got tired of it and used the black salve on it and on a tiny one on my rib cage below it where they touched. To my shock over the course of treatments the larger was a 2" x 1" perfect oval the escare fell out Huge and deep it was, this was no wart a greenish gray mass. Anyway there were still suspicious areas white round with the healthy tissue (Thanks to your book it encouraged me to keep treating) It is healing nice but the areas have moved down closer to the one on the rib cage ( I have photos of the whole treatment) the smaller one I didn't treat as much, now it has drawn out something from between my ribs big round walnut shell size growth. I started treating as agressivly as I had done with the other. Wow this is painful, but just amazing as how it works I estimate that the Walnut Shell lump will take months to get rid of I wanted to thank you for helping Charlotte inturn she has helped me. Before this large lump was pulled out of the rib cage--- for years I used to get sharp nerve pain in the area of my lung there, I have a bizarre nerve condition Reflex sympathetic Dystrophy just thought it was a part of that disease, wow It wasn't!!!!! I haven't had the pain in the lung since the lump has shown up.
If you can give me any advice on how to treat this one, should I stay agressive and get this over with, It's been goung on since June, or take my time and try to have it removed slowly.

Thanks so much for your wonderful book too!
Colleen

Colleen,

This is a simply amazing account. You appear to be managing this and the surprises very well. The only thing that I constantly urge people to do is internal treatments in conjunction with the external. Obviously, the drama of the external upstages almost anything else one could think to do, but the mere fact that apparently unrelated or peripheral issues are resolving simultaneously suggests that over and above the connections you have already observed, there could be those you have not anticipated. I do not say this to worry you -- because you are doing so well -- merely to nudge so that all bases are covered.

Getting help from someone who has been there a few times before is not to be underestimated either.

Keep us informed.

Good luck and blessings!

How can I find a practitioner to oversee the use of the salve? I live in the Seattle area but am willing to travel wherever just for the reassurance of someone knowledgeable. Thanks Elaine

Hi Ingrid, I bought a product (with bloordroot and three alkaloids) to remove moles, warts, and skin tags 2-3 weeks ago. I bought it from www.find-cures.com. I've been using it since then, for about seven days, to remove two tiny skin tags on my eye lid. (I was careful.) The scab and the skin tag have come off and my eyelid is finally in the healing process.

Because I have hyperthyroidism, namely Graves' Disease, I have what they call exopthalmosis or "bulging eyes", in which, if you might not already know, there is tissue growth or swelling of tissue, muscles, and fat in the socket behind the eyeball.

Since I've used the herb over my eyelid, it seems as though my eyeball got pushed back so my eye doesn't seem to bulge out as much. I assume it is because of the herb; maybe, because of its deep penetration, the herb destroyed some of the excess tissue buildup or somehow let the swelling subside behind the eye.

Whatever the case, I'm happier because now my left eye, where I put the herb, doesn't bulge out as much. Now to my questions as follows:

1. Would the herb have anything to with my eye being pushed back or the tissue as I have described earlier?

2. Is there any way I could use the herb that I have to remove more of the excess tissue behind both my eyes so my eyes look less bulging? Could I apply it in areas around the eyes, but being careful because it's toxicity. I believe the herb could do something about it.

3. Could the herb penetrate the skin without having to sort of break the skin, like using a pumice to roughen the surface and using a hot towel, to open up the pores?

4. Also, is it normal to feel some burning in the area where the herb is put?

I would be very greatful if you could please answer my questions as thorough as possible. Thank you so much.

Tarita

Tarita and Zoe,

Oh, this makes me almost crazy. Please, please take these questions back to the people who sold you the products. Zoe's formula sounds like Dr. John Christopher's German Kermesberro Ointment, sometimes called "black ointment" in stores, but it is not a "black salve" and is not an escharotic. It is a very nice ointment for many purposes, but it is not a "cancer salve."

Tarita's questions are enormous and require professional evaluation, but the strategies proposed sound totally inappropriate to me. I.e., rubbing the skin with pumice and applying heat sound very risky.

Folks, be enterprising but careful!

I have a question about Black Salve and Breastfeeding. I have found a small 3 mm size lump in the skin of my breast and am not sure if it is anything or not, but I applied the black salve today and a little tingling. It was a little inflamed and could be a small cyst or boil, as last week some pus came out. I just thought I would use the black salve in case it was anything else as was worried and do not want to go to an allopathic doctor at this stage. I am also breastfeeding and wanted to know if this is ok. I covered the area which is away from the nipple with a bandaid.

How do I tell if I should continue and how many days would I do this?

Is it ok to breastfeed as long as it is away from the affected area?

Thanks!

Anna,

Were it me, I would not want to be breastfeeding if I knew I had a condition in the breast that is unhealthy.

Ranjani,

I don't check this bulletin board often so I hadn't seen your post. Yes, white blood cells perform their functions in a number of different ways. If you observe them in live blood microscopy (darkfield), then you see that they "vacuum" up bacteria. Sometimes, they blow out a mist and stun passing bacteria and then consume them and sometimes, they seem to deposit a payload of bacteria and then suck it up again in seconds or minutes, but only after cleaning the edges of red blood cells. They also secrete something that dissolves fibrin and they sometimes attack parasites with something that rips the skin, like damaging the skin of a snake. I have never seen them do this near the head or tail, only in the middle of the parasite and often with the help of red blood cells that pack themselves deeply around the parasite so as to immobilize if before the white blood cells come to assistance. It's quite fascinating.

My 92 year old mother just had a Squamous Cell tumor removed from her nasal passage. The doctor wanted us to follow up with radiation to be sure all cancer cells were gone. Would Bloodroot application be an alternative to radiation?
