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.

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.

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.

Some possibly helpful tips for you to deal with minor scarring:
ReplyDelete1. TCA/TriChloroAcetic Acid (chlorinated vinegar) is pinkish crystals when pure, and when dissolved with just enough water to dissolve them (saturated solution), is a liquid that peforms a skin-peel - but it must be tested first to understand how it works! And only in the smallest amounts! You may dilute as necessary once experienced with it. It's basically a medically utilized chemical burn, and the skin will peel off after about 3 days, and then takes a few weeks to heal, and many more weeks for the healing process to end (as you know, things heal, but continue to become closer and closer to normal skin over time). Anyway, this is one substance that can help with any scarring, but it can create a scar in it's own right, so experiment first with a tiny area with the thinnest of films to see how it works if you do use it. It can be purchased from chemical supply businesses. You do *not* want to bathe skin in this - just the thinnest swipe with a Q-tip that will dry in 15 seconds or so. It burns, but not so bad, and only for a minute or so.
2. Another alternative is to take a 50g jar of Vick's Vaporub (basically, a purified form of Vaseline and essential oils: Camphor, Eucalyptus, Peppermint; which kill pain) and add 100 drops each of the essential oils of Thyme, Palmarosa, and Lemongrass, each of which are cancer killers in themselves (and these each have a unique and important effect - so you can't just use 1 or 2!), but if this is left on a slight scar for lengthy periods of time (at least 12-24 hours, perhaps multiple times/days as well), it will perform a skin peel that is not quite as strong as TCA, but the results can be better than TCA on slight scars - and this will help kill any cancer cells, whereas TCA won't. As you may have read, cancer has a lot in common with fungal infections, in fact, many people claim cancer is a fungal infection, and it is true that fungi are found in all cancers. Bacteria grow fast but die fast, and fungal infections grow slowly and die slowly, very similar to most cancers. But they are tenacious - they don't die easily - just check the web for how many people try a zillion things to get rid of athlete's foot and suffer for decade's. However, the Vaporub/Thyme/Palmarosa/Lemongrass is a potent non-toxic combination that destroys every topical bacterial and fungal infection that I've ever seen, including small cancers. You may want to try this - but I don't want to destroy your experiment with bloodroot alone :) I am interested to see the results!
3. Colloidal Silver is an amazing healer for the skin: heals skin super-fast, and super-well - this is probably the best thing around for healing minor cuts/abrasions/chemical-peels. Just take a folded paper towel at least several layers thick, cut to the right size, soaked in a saturated (gray/purple) colloidal silver solution (9V battery, silver on +, stainless steel on - until the water is grayish) and center it on some clear packing tape, and leave it on for 12-24 hours, and you will be amazed how fast and how well it heals, and it also will keep abrasions/chemical-peels sterile. It can pretty much heal many abrasion-type things in 24 hours. I am not big on its internal use because it is very poor at penetrating and distributing in tissues, but topically, there isn't anything better.
Anyway, I have decades of experience along these lines, and I really appreciate your contribution with this blog, and this is my gift back to you. If we just wait around for the govt to test natural methods of healing ... hehe - we'll be in the grave long before we ever learn much.
Thanks for this public service to humanity :)
I was reading about the TumoRx Easy Digest earlier today, and though I can't remember the exact amounts, I believe that Bloodroot is only a very small amount in the formula - the Slippery Elm is like 90%, and Bloodroot 10% (don't quote me, I just remember thinking "wow, that is a tiny fraction!"), so ... something to consider and double-check. I mean to say that if you eat 10 capsules of the ED, it may only be like eating 1 capsule of Bloodroot, which may not be very effective. But you can check and decide for yourself. I don't have cancer, but for the hell of it, I ate 4 size OO capsules packed tightly with Bloodroot with big cheesy dinner tonight just to see what effects I would notice, and I didn't notice anything. This may be equal to dozens of the ED formula capsules. I was thinking of taking them just for maintenance/prevention. Anyway, may want to consider the Full Strength instead of the ED if you want to go the Bloodroot route.
ReplyDeleteHehe, sorry for all my comments! But another thing: keep in mind that Bloodroot is nothing like the Black Salve paste. The Zinc Chloride in the salve is what makes the Bloodroot activate so fiercely and powerfully, but pure Bloodroot herb is pretty much benign. I have taped the powder to my skin for 24 hours just to test the effect and it did nothing, not even a little irritation. I even drank a tea of it on an empty stomach - and besides being the most nasty tasting thing you could ever imagine, it was harmless. I think it probably can make you nauseous, but it would take a fairly significant amount, especially if eaten with food. Keep in mind, this is just a powdered dried plant, and the plant is living with all these alkaloids in it, so ... it's not like it is a corrosive acid that destroys living cells or anything. And keep in mind that the effect will come from saturating your body with the alkaloids. A little Bloodroot isn't going to seek out cancer and deposit itself - it gets distributed throughout the body, and it takes time for the levels to build up for any effect to occur. OK! Thanks again for your work!
ReplyDeleteOOPS! One last thing - keep in mind that you won't only be affecting cancer on your skin, but it will, if it works, kill cancer all over your body, so ... it should kill any prostate cancer or other cancers you may not even know about, and many cancers are developing for many years before they are ever noticed. So, it's a nice thought to know that you will be killing cancers that should keep you cancer-free for a decade to come.
