BACKGROUND

I am a 54 year old male in good physical condition. I am a software engineer at a major aerospace company. I am 5’10” and weigh 167 pounds fully clothed. I am not on medication of any kind. The results of my wellness testing conducted at my company on 07/02/2013 are shown below.

LDL Cholesterol: 128
Triglycerides: 85

As indicated by my numbers, I am generally pretty healthy. The only known health issue that I have is skin cancer. I know that I have skin cancer because in February of 2008 my dermatologist biopsied a skin sample taken from a small sore that wouldn’t heal on my face. It was basal cell carcinoma. Because of its rather prominent place on my face, the doctor recommended Mohs surgery. After about 6 hours of surgery at St. Louis University Hospital, I was left with a 2” diameter hole in my face. Because of its large size, the doctor said that the cancer had probably been growing for 7 or 8 years. Because of its size and place on my face, my surgeon did not feel comfortable closing the hole herself so she referred me to a plastic surgeon. A few days later, the plastic surgeon did a wonderful job of patching me up, leaving only a few small scars and a wrinkle. After the surgery, my surgeon admonished me to begin wearing sunscreen of at least SPF 50 which I have for the most part summarily ignored. Though not a sun worshipper, I like being in the sun and feel it is the best way to get vitamin D. That being said, it is probably the reason I still have skin cancer on my face.

About a year after my surgery, I noticed several red, flaky patches on my face similar to the one that the surgeon had removed though not in the same place. I did not relish the thought of more surgery and more scars on my face. I talked to my brother who had recently seen a dermatologist about some red patches on his body that wouldn’t heal. His dermatologist told him that the patches were probably cancerous and should be removed at a cost of $300 per patch. Since he was self-insured (high deductible) and would have to pay most of the cost of treatment out-of-pocket, he decided to investigate alternatives. He is a chiropractor and one of his patients suggested he try black salve. This patient had allegedly cured his cancer using a topical treatment of black salve. (I met this patient sometime later and he showed me his scars, enthusiastically stating that the black salve had saved his life.) So my brother obtained some black salve from the “back room” of his local health food store. The proprietor of the store told him that the main active ingredient of black salve was bloodroot and that his formulation also contained zinc chloride to promote penetration. My brother applied the black salve to a spot on his leg that had never healed since he injured it some years earlier. He followed the instructions given by the person that the sold him the salve and about a week after he started using it, a gray-green blob a little smaller than a half dollar fell out of his leg, leaving a crater about an inch deep. He then applied an after care cream that looked a little like petroleum jelly. The hole eventually healed over, leaving only a minor scar. Encouraged by his success, I asked him to get some for me. I used the topical black salve three separate times in three separate places on my face. The progression of events was about the same for each case. I applied the salve over the area I wanted to treat (usually not bigger than a dime), the spot burned like hell for a week to ten days (I took a lot of ibuprofen) and then a gray-green blob (eschar) would fall out usually with the removal of the Band-Aid I had covering it. I would then apply the after-care cream and keep it covered with a Band-Aid until it healed over. In each instance the duration of treatment from the time I initially applied the black salve to when I finally removed the last Band-Aid was anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. That’s a lot of time to have a big ass Band-Aid on your face. Not to mention the fact that the formulation that I used contained zinc chloride, which burned like hell for over a week until the eschar fell out. Since I still have cancerous patches on my face, I don’t like wearing Band-Aids that scream, ”there’s something wrong with Steve’s face”, and I have an aversion to burning, searing pain, I’ve decided to try bloodroot capsules. The capsules that I have chosen contain only bloodroot and slippery elm.

I have decided to chronicle my experience with bloodroot capsules in this blog in the hope that others can benefit, whether the outcome is positive or negative. Though I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I do think that a lot of people and organizations have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo when it comes to cancer treatment. Against the wishes of my daughter (a registered dietician) and my wife (my loving companion of nearly 30 years) I am offering myself up as a test case for the treatment of skin cancer using an orally taken formulation of bloodroot and slippery elm.

Ready to begin new treatment regimen

After another summer in the sun, the BC patches on my face are more noticable than ever. I've even started using some of my wife's mineral make-up to cover them up. I had resolved myself to begin using the TumorX Package 1A to begin treating the cancer, but when I went online to buy it, I discovered that the FDA had forced BioAnue to shut down their website. The FDA is forcing the company to re-label/re-package their products and so they are not currently available for sale. If anyone knows where I can obtain the TumorX Package 1A please let me know. I promise not to reveal my source.

Day 30

Finished the last of the 3 bottles of TumoRx yesterday. No apparent change in the treatment areas. My conclusion is that the TumoRx taken at the dosage levels I used had no visible effect on my treatment areas. In all fairness, I didn't follow the TumoRx protocol which I have resolved to do in the not too distant future. I will begin posting again when I start the protocol.

Day 21

Finished the second bottle of 90 capsules of TumoRx Apoptosis Easy Digest. In all I have taken 180 capsules over 21 days. There is no apparent, visible change to any of the suspected cancer areas. I began taking 6 capsules per meal today. I will continue until I finish the 3rd and final bottle. I recently received an anonymous email suggesting that I would have better success if I followed the TumoRx protocol. I suspect that it originated from someone affiliated with TumoRx. I am considering ordering the TumoRx Package 1 and following the protocal to the letter but I haven't decided yet.

Day 13

Took only 8 capsules last Friday because of an impending weekend float trip. I decided to take a break over the weekend because a float trip without a little alcohol consumption just isn't quite the same. I wore SPF 50 sunscreen this weekend with a hat and sunglasses. Began taking 5 capsules per meal today.

No notable difference in any of the treatment areas. No discomfort of any kind from the capsules. Have decided to increase the dose from 3 capsules per meal to 4 capsules per meal.

Day 3

Took 3 capsules with each of 3 meals today. No noticeable discomfort. Weight was 167 pounds. Blood pressure was 128/71. No noticeable change in cancer areas. I will continue this regimen of 9 bloodroot/slippery elm capsules (total of 3150 milligrams) per day with meals. I will not make another blog entry until something noteworthy happens or my supply of 270 capsules is gone.
