Thought I should post this....
Vinegar keeps popping up as a way to deal with skin cancers..a few years back one person posted an eggplant vinegar recipe that had a lot of us placing this goo all over our lesions with no noteable success.
I did knock out an ulcerating what I believed to be AK maybe bcc lesion on my neck by soaking it repeatedly with vinegar. I used gauze and just kept wetting it for an hour or so each day for a few days.
Recently fighting a very large one with other solutions I decided to try the gauze and vinegar treatment on this rather large BCC ( about a good 1.5 x 2" lesion)...Yeeeeouch! it burns like heck for 10 minutes then subsides..The first day was VERY painful and it was a bloody painful mess pulling the gauze from the lesion before showering..
Definitely seems to have done something the nodular part is raw and shrunken down..
I will keep posting on this and take some pictures..
I did a google search today and found this..concentrated vinegar...The active chemical is acetic acid... the more I read the more I realize we are just burning these lesions with acids my assumption is..Healthy skin is stronger more resistant to damage than cancerous tissue...there may be a more scientific explanation than this but I believe that is the end result / answer...
When we apply acids like Acetic, Zinc Chloride or Ascobic they cause Apoptosis ( cell death to the weaker cells)
Liquid Nitrogen just kills everything..
Anyway
here's a link to a post by someone who's father used concentrated acetic acid..who knows maybe it was a 25%, 50% or even higher solution..
Here's the Post
Skin Cancer
by Les Davison
(Australia)
My father, a miner for all of his working life with great exposure to the sun was riddled with skin cancers, especially on his arms and legs/face. His twin died from a melanoma on his face - horribly, so Dad was determined to find his own way to fix his problems. He had had many cut out, and burned out, but always found that they came back - often with a vengeance. After many tries and heaps of different preparations, juices etc, he tried essence of imitation vinegar and hasn't looked back since.
If it is just put on good skin it has almost no reaction -bar in some people a bit of redness - it is acid of course. But if it is put on a skin cancer or one just forming it will ache or sting - especially ache if a saturated pad is held to a suspected part for 5 or 10 mins. Sometimes one will see the beginnings of roots forming out from a spot and they are ones that really need attention.
Treatment is to tape a saturated pad over the spot for no longer than 3 days. It will pull the cancer up and out and may look quite nasty for a bit, but will heal really well - can sting and ache but is quite bearable. It can be quite confronting to treat a spot that has no visible mark but stings with the vinegar application and seeing roots travelling quite a distance and the new cancers popping up from under the skin "downstream". These things are like weeds with long suckers that pop up new weeds further down. After the site has healed hit it with the vinegar again to see if it is all gone - if there is still a reaction, do it again. If you do it for too long at a time you may cop a fever and feel quite fluey. Too much for the body at one time.
Dad has helped people with very bad ones about to go have the chop and they have cleared up very nicely leaving barely a scar. The advantage of course is the absolute minimal cost and the efficacy of the treatment. A bottle costs a couple of dollars.
My own story is of an itchy spot near my elbow that had no mark whatsoever, but which blew up quickly with a vinegar touch. It sent roots all the way down my arm and about 6 more of them came to the surface. After it had healed up another spot itched between my thumb and forefinger and there was another line of them down there lying in wait.
The vinegar is cheap as chips and also great for putting on any kind of bite or scratch which might become infected or is. It stings for sure sometimes but the results are worth it.
The one we use is diluted for table use at one to five parts so is very strong. It is used for pickling as well. One can't buy it in some states unless one is a chef can you believe:) But maybe even cleaning vinegar would work - would have to try it out.
I hope that this is food for thought and helps:) It truly is magic for those of us afflicted with loads of them from too many years in the sun and an Irish/Scots background especially.
Thanks to Bill for the website to share this with anyone interested.

Hi. This is my first post. I guess I'll go to a new members area after this and tell my story. I'm posting here following Anivoc from the thread back in 2007 which discussed using the eggplant. I have been dealing with very "sick" lips since 2007. Doctors haven't helped. This morning, I was especially frightened looking in the mirror, so I've been researching (as I've tried to do in the past. This time with some luck.) Looks like this is actinic chelitis. Anivoc, I just wanted to thank you for continuing to post in this forum. It's so good of you to continue to share your experiences for everyone's benefit. |

I'd say by personal experience, yes it may work. Only on amaller, less developed ones though.
The treated ones I've had were horribly deep, like half a centimeter in some, and the roots could be seen, once some topical remedies had been applied. I'd encourage anything, that kills them before they go deep.
Catch them early, I'd say, is a good idea. Then milder remedies might work. Good idea if it works, just catch them fast.
I must admit I haven't personally tried this. Apple Cider Vinegar I have, but much too slow for deep ones. |
