I just don't know if they are still available. So glad this is working for you.
You could try the Hibermate http://www.hibermate.com sleep mask, that might help. |

Karitosis on forearms plus a spot biopsied as basil cell. Using eggplant w/ a little vinegar and GARLIC. Shall report later on results. Before adding the vinegar and garlic, used straight eggplant for three days. From that it looked better already.
Using the eggplant by itself was in 1/4 " slices held on w/ tape. (Shave skin first so tape will come off easier.) Now mashing up the plant including the seeds (essence is there) using common kitchen tools. Holding that in w/ big, barge shaped BandAids.
Can't trust many dermatologists. They want to cut, cut, cut. Have to use them though as middlemen to obtain biopsy so you know what you have, and they can burn off the karitosis.
(Many individual MD practitioners now have huge staffs to support and many are adding costly nurse practitioners or medical assistants -- not nurses. It is actually these folks that often see the patients in lieu of the MD and half the time these specialists seem not to know didley squat.)
Something sounds very right to me about the curative results on farm animals from the nightshade Devil Apple. Because of that I may give Curaderm a try later, even though the results on others have been reported as being uneven, (but with enough pluses there to be encouraging).

You might use the search function on "pancreatin," something Dan has been recommending off and on. I used a paste made of a pancreatin capsule (from Swanson Health) and some common hand lotion and this seemed to be successful in removing something like what you describe. I applied the paste once a day, in the AM. Took some months, but painless and seems to be gone.
As for the lesion, it was on the back of my hand, brownish-purple, slightly raised, about 1/2 inch long. After I had been treating it for some time and it was a lot better, I showed it to "the derm" at a regular checkup and he dismissed it quickly as "a wart" He probably knows more about warts than I do. The only other thing I had seen like this was a smaller one on my wrist the year before, when I was using the eggplant treatment on my face for BCC, and the item on my wrist disappeared completely using eggplant and pancreatin mixed, in hand lotion. That is what encouraged me to proceed with the larger one that came later, and this seems to have worked.
I describe the lesion here a little because, like all on this forum, I want to stress that you should not overlook the possibility of REAL cancer, being specially watchful for the sinister melanoma. Don't just take these skin problems for granted as "age spots," etc. Best of luck.
Thoughts, anyone? |

By way of a progress report -- nothing conclusive yet.: Both forearms in question. One had history of BC and was cut out years ago. Other recently biopsied w/ BC by a derma. I have been working on both forearms for 3 wks. Applying multiple curatives over the course of each day as follows:
1A. A week with NOW orange oil which brought up an archipelligo of 1/8" diam. red spots along both arms.
A vastly experienced MD, not the derma., said stop the orange oil & make an apt. to burn or freeze off the one larger spot previously biopsied as BC. He said it was surficial & could be taken out that way. So I stopped the orange oil and on my own started…
1B. Bathing arms in Hydrogen peroxide as I've read elsewhere that Big C doesn't like oxygen. Red spot results appear same as with orange oil. Noticed that with either orange oil or H2O2, shortly after application I get the feeling in the arms of that realm of sensation somewhere between tingling and stinging -- not unpleasant but not pleasant either. I have the hunch that it is an indicator of something good happening.
(The apt. to burn or freeze off by the MD is 3 weeks away.)
2. When the tingling/stinging becomes too bothersome, I rub on aloe-vera gel which soothes it. I also use that gel occasionally over the course of the day and get a good energetic feeling in the skin. The aloe may act as a rubifacient (bring more blood to epidermis), I don't know.
3. I rub on Raspex raspberry skin gell. Good raps on this from another of Dan's forums.
4. Still putting on my 1/4 " slices of eggplant. I score them lightly first with a fork cross-hatched. Held on w/ Ace type bandage.
Intelligent feedback on any of this appreciated.

Hi Neil, thanks for the interesting progress report. I like the multiple approaches. Of the five things mentioned (orange oil, hydrogen peroxide, aloe vera gel, Raspex raspberry gel, and eggplant), I think the one with probably the most horsepower is orange oil. But I understand that it's difficult to go against the advice of a doctor you trust. I found the Now orange oil product was not as powerful as organic food grade d-limonene cleaners. It took me around 4 weeks before I saw improvement using the stronger topical d-limonene cleaner.
http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/12/3/259.pdf
Another thing I could see adding to the mix is pancreatin enzymes, either from SupraClens contact lens cleaner or open a dietary supplement capsule and mix with the other ingredients. |

Dan. Thanks very much on your feedback and the heads-up and the link on d-limonene. The article on he link sounds very professional and encouraging on the use of this. I may try it topically on the arms. After all, the MD with extensive knowledge/experience that I noted may not know everything especially in the area of alternative medicine. I'll also look into pancreatin enzymes with the view toward using it as well.
As an aside, the very cost-effective d-limonene caps have been shown to give relief for Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD), or serious recurring heartburn. My wife has this and takes very costly prescription Nexium. I'll show her this.
Amazing the catch-up MD's have to do. But being joined at the hip with big pharma as they are, I won't hold my breath. One just has to make an end-run around this establishment -- and I have to say that it's forums like yours that help block interference.
Somewhere in researching the d-limonene I ran across the benefits of ingesting citrus peal. Sounds to me like the old "zest" of gourmet cooking.
Thanks again Sir.

Hi,
There's a product called Natural EsophaGuard from LEF.org that is 98.5% d-limonene.

About 2 months ago I discovered a little flesh colored bump on my forehead. How long it had been there I have no idea since I wear bangs and generally don't much look at that area, plus it was flesh colored. It was about the size of 1/2 of a good sized pea. It was kind of crusty on top and the surrounding area was kind of crusty too. Since then I have seen on the net that the bump matched the description of a possibly precancerous condition.
I tried iodine & hydrogen peroxide & they had no impact at all.
Not to get religious, but to give credit where credit is due, I prayed about it and a night or so later when I was not even thinking about it I felt YHWH brought me a word of knowledge, "eggplant."
I researched and saw that people were using it in conjunction with other things, like vinegar, to treat skin problems. I just used eggplant.
I kept the Eggplant in a big freezer bag in the refrigerator and would cut off about a 1" by 2" slice of it each night then rub this liberally for a minute or so onto the lesion and surrounding areas. Within a few days the bump got smaller. In a month it was completely gone. Actually I still use it just to be on the safe side.
Here is something that may sound bizarre. Since my sister has been diagnosed with possibly pre cancerous bumps in her colon, I decided to put some eggplant in the blender and add it to a retention enema twice a week. I have done this for several weeks with no ill effects. Maybe it is just a coincidence but I am more regular since then.
I think things like these are wake up calls that we need to be sure we are getting plenty of Vit. D (especially through some sunshine) and be carefully monitoring our ph levels and monitoring our diets to get rid of things like sugar & additives, etc. etc. and maybe do parasites, liver stone & heavy metal cleanses. (Curezone has tons of info on how to do those cleanses & don't trust the lab tests at all re parasites. I had already done those cleanses but, again, I do not have a clue how long that bump was there.) |

Though it is less than 1/4 of a percent in the ingredient citri-solv does contain Butylated Hydroxyanisole which is a carcinogen. Wonder if there is orange oil out there that is just D-limonene?
http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/roc/eleventh/profiles/s027bha.pdf
I believe you have probably already found this list:
"citrus nobilis (clementine), citrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot), cymbopogon citratus(lemongrass), canarium luzonicum nonvolatiles (elemi), citrus aurantium dulcis (orange), citrus aurantifolia (lime), cananga odorata (ylang ylang), lavandula angustifolia (lavender), mentha spicata (spearmint), mentha piperita (peppermint), cedrol, canarium luzonicum gum nonvolatiles (elemi oil), cinnamomum zeylanicum bark extract(cinnamon leaf oil), citrus aurantifolia (lime) oil, citrus aurantium amara (bitter orange) oil, citrus aurantium bergamia(bergamot) fruit oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) oil, citrus limon (lemon) peel oil, coriandrum sativum (coriander) fruit oil, elettaria cardamomum (cardamon) seed oil, eugenia caryophyllus (clove) leaf oil, myristica fragrans (nutmeg) kernel oil, pelargonium graveolens (geranium) flower oil, zingiber officinale (ginger) root oil. d#8208;Limonene is a component of these
essential oils"
As for a source of the highest quality oils you can find.... I use YoungLiving.com .... they are expensive, but just from smelling and handling you can feel its quality. NOTHING else other than just the oils from the plant. Compare it to any other essential oil. the aroma alone will beat out competitors, YL also does gas chromatograph spectrums of their oils, all kinds of tests to check quality and levels of phytochemicals. Run by a naturopath, best source of oils i know of on the planet. please tell me if you know of anywhere else that has as-good or better quality oils. i dont think there are....
Grapefruit and orange oil are the highest in d-limonene, aroudn 90 percent. Elemi is also very good for skin issues, antioxidant, and is 40-70% limonene.... real whole-plant sources of d-limonene will definitely work better than using citra-solv....!!!
Note using citrus oils..... even citra-solv-crap.... they are phototoxic.... when applied to the skin, whereever applied should not receive any sunlight for AT LEAST 12 hours.... |

just new here, checking out some posts on different ideas and noticed a few ingredients in common (orange peel and vinegar).
Had a brain snap and decided to start this tonight, then try using it topically (it kinda makes sense to me) http://www.pennilessparenting.com/2010/11/homemade-orange-cleaner.html then even try mixing it with eggplant (3 ingredients often mentioned all together) |

Welcome just checked out your DIY Orange oil page...cooool!
A heads up on the eggplant.. IMO don't waste your time..If there is anybody here who disagrees speak up.
Fforest posted this in 2007... I am sure 100's of people ( including myself) gave this a try.. I don't know of anyone who had amazing results.. The type of "eggplant" that is used in Curaderm ( I don't endorse or recommend it personally... tried it and though it kind of worked I was unsuccessful at eradicating my big BCC's) is different than the eggplant we buy in stores.
Orange oil is definitely an irritant to skin cancers and so is vinegar.
I have actually knocked out a pretty big AK "actinic keratosis" with just vinegar.
Dependent on what you are dealing with I'm thinking your DIY orange oil that already has vinegar might be quite a powerful skin cancer solution.
Don't try it everywhere.( If you have not already done so) always try two test areas, One where you know you have a problem and one in an area where you are sure there is no problem. That lets you know if whatever you are using is just caustic to all skin or just diseased skin.
I did this with bloodroot and found that bloodroot indeed had no effect on healthy skin but tore into diseased skin like nobodys business.
Anyway... Welcome and good luck! Keep us posted and always if possible take pictures before, during and after.. "proof of the Pusdding" Or as some say POIDH pictures or it didn't happen ;) |

I just had to post my story here and thank everyone who has contributed. My husband is from Australia & when he came here five years ago he had a sun cancer spot that seemed to worsen over time. I did some research and found this site. We went out and purchased a brand new mason jar, a medium eggplant (had hoped for organic but settled for regular) and a bottle of organic cider vinegar. He cut the eggplant up in small cubes and we filled the jar (really packed it in there) and covered it with the entire bottle of vinegar and let it sit in the fridge for 3 days. Every time we opened the fridge we shook the jar to mix it up good. He started putting the liquid mixture on the pad of a band aid (the lesion was on his chest) and put it on each day before he left for work. It's been about 9 weeks now and it's all gone. It used to weep & bleed and looked very nasty and deep, and now it's very light pink soft skin. No more scab, no more bleeding. It looks fantastic.
Thank you to all who have posted here and done research as this truly was a blessing to find.
My deepest appreciation to everyone!!!!! |

I see that the link I left in the above post has stretched the page horizontally. I would go in and fix it but I don't have an edit or delete button. I've written to the forum moderator, but not hearing back. Can anyone help?
On the forum help page, it looks like no has posted there since last year. Is this just not an active site any longer? |

Hi
Do we need to peel the eggplant first befor chopping it up? I didnt because I thought there may be some nutrients in the skin too? Am I right? |

No. You leave the skin on it. You can cut it in small cubes or purée it, but the skin should be used as part of the solution. |

| I have a BCC on my leg and it starts as a small skin "eruption", almost like a small pimple. So I am applying the eggplant and vinegar solution to it. Within a few days the "pimple" turned into a circular looking thing about a 1/4 inch in diameter with a black scabby nasty thing in the center! Is this normal ? The treatment is definitely doing something I just hope this is an indication its working. When do you know when it's done? Thanks to anyone who can provide some feedback. |

I have read this entire forum topic and everyone's reaction to the mixture is different. In our case, my husbands was already a open sore type lesion. It had a scab and was wet most of the time (pretreatment). I do believe from what I read on this site, that is pretty normal. It's been about 3 months for him now and his has developed into a scar. Thick around the edges, but pink new skin. There is a small scab at the top which he still treats with the solution a couple times a week, but it looks fantastic. Go back and read the earlier posts here. I do recall seeing lots of indications that the spot does scab, and it will come off naturally on its own, but that is how some equate that it's getting rid of the bad cells.
We are all on a quest to find a natural way to deal with these issues, and its all natural so in my opinion it can't hurt to try. Give it a little time, but if you are in doubt, you can always seek the advice of a doctor. All I know is it has cleared up a spot the size of a nickel that my husband had for 5 years prior to us finding this site and has it has worked miracles for him.
Good luck and keep us informed. |

I still hold my stance that the eggplant mixture is NOT effective against Basal Cell Skin cancers.
I know from personal experience that the typical purple eggplant we buy here in the united states mixed in a slurry with vinegar DOES NOT have any effect on nodular Basal cell tumors...I wasted a few months trying with no success.
I also know from personal experience that I was able to knock out a 1/2" sized Actinic Keratosis "AK" by soaking it several times daily with vinegar... A little painful but it worked.
It's been a while so I am not sure Kittykisses is still coming here to answer me but as I read through her post a couple of questions arose.
Kittykisses never identified what type of skin cancer it was or if it was ever biopsied but I suspect it was an AK and it was the vinegar that knocked it out..
If you have AK's a 3 to 5% solution of vinegar will help you knock it out.
IMO the eggplant mixture is a messy waste of time, you'll get the same results from just using vinegar on a soaked gauze / pad.
For AK's you may have possible success, on basals or other skin cancers types I am doubtful vinegar in of itself will eradicate them |

Thanks Perry...this is interesting as it identifies that it is not the fruit of the eggplant but an extract from the skin that was found to be an active inhibitor against melanoma.
I'll look further into eggplant skin..
I was told years back by one of the Curadern "specialist" that the typical eggplant we buy here in the U.S. is not the same as the eggplant used to make Curaderm.
I am not sure how true that was and Curaderm never explains what part of the eggplant they are using to make their very expensive BEC5 cream.
I love to eat eggplant so I'll buy some, peel it and grind up the skin and apply a paste of it on one of my ongoing BCC's and see what effect it has...hmmmm? |

Hi,
New to this site, but I see there's a good deal of debate about the efficacy of actual eggplant as opposed to Curaderm, I just wanted to quickly share my experience of success. I had a BCC on my forehead, diagnosed and textbook shiny bump with bits of black inside. I treated it with orange oil, a homemade mixture of eggplant and believe it or not balsamic vinegar, which I let set in the fridge for weeks, I had cut up pieces that I put under a band-aid, only at night at first until it became too red and nasty looking to cover with makeup, then I started wearing it full time. I did this for a few months, then as it was dwindling I added Rick Simpson oil on the top. It completely disappeared, completely. Placebo? I don't think so - I just didn't want half my forehead taken off, so I just thought I'd give it a try. I was a Zuma Beach California girl - so unfortunately have many more where that came from. I'm currently treating a place on my leg they want to biopsy - trying to hurry this one along! Good luck to everyone...:)) |

Eggplant for skin cancer very exciting
