there are some topic which is difficult to understand due to the high syntax. Please be more simple... thanks!

sunsetgal, it can seem overwhelming but like thanks01 says, keep at it and soon you can be just as confused or enlightened as the rest of us! We are all here because we HATE to be cut and are looking for better alternatives. We would very much like you to keep asking questions and also share what you find out. The background material is hopefully useful for people with skin cancer because it was written under the same duress as you are now experiencing. Some of these ideas really work, at least they did for me.

There is a search link at the top of the forum that is often helpful to me. Another good source is http://www.wikipedia.org/ to get the basics of things like bloodroot and DMSO. Wikipedia can sometimes be a bit too technical but usually there is a snippet like "DMSO has a distinctive property of penetrating the skin very readily" to make it fairly understandable.

Sunset Gal,
Be patient. It's all here. This is a very good site for information, but you have to read through it slowly and carefully. Why don't you just start on a topic thread that interests you and follow it through, then try another. My suggestion is that you read some of the ones on basic health and some of the ones on methods of treating the skin. I also highly recommend the main pages of this website. Actually, why don't you start by reading that background material. It would be hard for someone to answer you and try to tell you everything that is here from scratch.
It sounds as though you are having a tough time right now. Be patient. Be careful. Be hopeful. Enter into the discussions here and you will find help. Best to you...
