Greetings to everyone:
I have had a small pearly lump on my arm for more than thirty years, but in the last twelve months, it appeared to increase in size, becoming somewhat irritated. I still ignored it until my daughter commented, "That's basal cell cancer right there, you know." She noticed it, I suppose, because she had just had one removed surgically from her leg. She showed me her scar as I became increasingly alarmed. Not being convinced that the traditional medical establishment has our healing as a priority, I started to search for alternative and less drastic treatments.
I started by rubbing the area with peroxide and sea salt. Although there was a warning that it would react if cancer was present, I was still not quite prepared for what happened next. White dots encircled the lump and it began to sting. Soon the dots merged, and sacks of liquid began to form around the lump. It was terribly inflamed, but I assaulted it further with d-limonine on a cotton ball taped over the lesion. The stinging lasted almost an hour. I gritted my teeth-- determined to kill it. By evening the white growth, which had been half the size of a pencil eraser, had reacted covering an area larger than quarter! It looked awful, but I continued to treat it, alternating between taping a cotton ball soaked with peroxide over the area, with one soaked with the orange oil.
After about a week of this, I decided that the skin appeared to be terribly irritated. It was impossible from looking at it to tell if this remedy was working or not, so I decided to give it a rest. After about two weeks, the main irritation and puss sacks were gone, but the original white lesion, though flattened, was still there, and around it were swollen, pink, itchy scars. I was a little discouraged but decided something had started to happen, so I would try another round of peroxide and orange oil.
It was then that a friend was sharing with me some information about the effectiveness of pine pitch for a huge range of skin conditions and injuries, including infections, poisonous bites, chronic inflammations, and cancers. Apparently, pitch is a Native American remedy that I had heard about at some point but forgotten. The company's literature seems a bit hokey and almost too good to be true, but I'm a curious person, and if it wasn't going to harm me or put me in the poorhouse, it might be worth a try.
I used it on my old cat first. He had developed either a nervous rash or a hot spot. The fur on his hind leg had suddenly fallen out, exposing red sores and a crusty condition--really looked bad, and he wouldn't stop licking it. I dribbled the pitch on, rubbing it in with a q-tip. Doing this every day for a couple of days and then every other day, there was a marked improvement within a week-- almost gone at two weeks. The pitch did not seems to bother him and he did not lick it off right away. His fur is growing back nicely.
Next, I tried it on my arm, soaking the affected area with the pitch and then covering it with a band aid, so not to rub it off on my sleeve. Pitch is very sticky and smells pleasantly of pine. It came in a small squeeze bottle with a tiny tip, which made it convenient and not messy to apply. The literature on the product said it would not sting, and it didn't. I was more than skeptical though that anything this mild could be effective against a condition as tenacious and virulent as cancer. Slight redness was the only sign of reaction after a week and a half. All the puffy, peeling scar tissue is gone! The central lesion has totally flattened and is difficult to see. The skin of my arm is again smooth. I intend to keep applying the pitch nightly until the original lesion disappears. Since the surrounding skin did not react and break down, there is no reason to stop treating. Honestly-- I am amazed, deeply relieved, and thankful!
I keep wondering how this could work so well. I can only speculate. Pitch contain turpentine, which is a potent oil. We used to clean paint brushes with it. I was afraid of it because it smelled strong, and mom said it was a "flammable poison". Anyway, it never hurt when I used it on my skin to remove paint. I think that the pitch suppresses the abnormal growth of cancer cells somehow, allowing the immune system to do its job while normal skin regenerates. Whatever the operation, pitch seems milder and quicker than strong oxidizing and burning agents.
I do not want to give out the company's name because I fear the readers here might think that I'm trying to sell this product. I'm not. I just teach seventh grade and believe that there must be better ways to help and heal-- to get us through this life! I think it's so discouraging to see so many people, especially older ones, spending their meager incomes and half their lives in doctors' waiting rooms. I do not want this to be the cornerstone of my social life as I get older, nor do I want to plan my vacation around the next surgery. Why is it that so many people are never really well after all the drugs they take and procedures they endure?
I can't accept this, and believe me, so many people are out there on the internet trying to help others. Earth Clinic is a great site with tons of free info-- especially check out the benefits of cider vinegar.
I'm glad to share here, and I would happy to give the web site's name to individuals who email me privately. Thanks again. Bless all you guys.

What Fforest said.
Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Very interesting story.
BTW unfortunately Dan has the e-mail function of this site disabled. The only way a person can communicate is via the forum unless you are willing to post your e-mail address publicly. Surprisingly I made a new account at gmail specifically for this site. With their excellent spam filter I get very little junk. It's topicalinfo@gmail.com
Please feel free to give us the name and link of the product you used.
This sounds like it could be a very easy thing to make at home. |

Hi,
...and I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I have been away, for a couple of weekends, and now I'm swamped with work. Been falling asleep on the World Series even! I did want to let anyone who is interested know the website where I found the pure pine pitch: natrhealth.com
It is possible to make your own more inexpensively, but you must be able to find a white or yellow pine tree with a wound that is leaking pitch. Raw pitch is very thick and sticky and has lots of foreign material stuck in it, but it is antibacterial, anti fungal, and antiviral, so a clean product is not absolutely necessary. Apparently, it has been used raw by Native Americans, mountain men, and by people in emergencies with no concern for infection. I made a small batch myself while I waited for the purer product to arrive by mail. Here's the method: Using a putty knife, I scraped the pitch from some local white pines that had lower limbs removed in the past year. I wiped the pitch into a plastic bag and scraped it into a clean tin can. Adding a very small amount of olive oil (to make it slightly more workable, I melted it in a double boiler arrangement (can went into a small saucepan with and inch of boiling water). DO NOT heat the pitch directly EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. When the pitch is melted, you will note the impurities. While still very hot, I poured it through a fine strainer-- cheesecloth might work too. I handled the can with tongs, not wanting to spill this stuff. Hard to clean it up. But pure orange oil will clean it as well as turpentine. There may be other pine-type trees that will work as well. Look for the white sticky sap around the tree wound.
As for an update on my situation using pitch, I have noted more improvement. The main site looks so much better. Every few days, I scrub the area with orange oil to get the pitch off, so I can see the progress. By the next day there is no redness at all. the red lumps are almost gone, and the main round lesion is flat and fading. My arm almost looks normal. Then, more pitch and another band aid every day. I believe the pitch gets into the skin deeply but slowly; there is no pain, nor is there much of a reaction. If anyone else tries this, please post your progress as I would be interested to know how well it works for others.
Thanks for your patience.

Just an extra note:
I was reading here about the concern with an ingredient of Citri-solve. Did some searching, and I've found a citrus product that may be still safer from a company named Citrus King. There is an 800 number that I'm sure can answer questions about content purity if there are any doubts. Citrus is remarkable for so many reasons! Let me know what you think.

Cool Dan,
I have been a member of another very large BBS / Forum over 7 years. WE have the e-mail on and no problems. Being as you have to register to get to the e-mails and have to go to each individual user profile to get the e-mail address, it's too much work for the viral spammers.
Enabling this feature is going to make communication much better and faster amongst us.
Thanks and I'm relatively sure it won't be something you'll later regret doing. |

pine sap/resin/pitch experiment: DAY 7
I have a lesion on my shoulder, approx 13 mm [1/2"] in diameter. I believe it to be a squamous cell skin cancer.
It has irrigular borders, tends to ulcerate, turn raw, and bleed a little at times. It has no raised edges, and the lesion itself is not raised above the plane of the skin. It has existed for 3 or 4 years. I have kept it under control with garlic juice, later lugols iodine, enuf to cause it to disapear from the surface of the skin, for a while.
It has never been diagnosed, or biopsied by a doctor.
7 days ago went into the woods and gathered some pine sap off of the side of local pine trees. Jack pines ??? ... not sure of species.
I melted the sap on heat, mixed with 10% coconut oil to thin it out so it would be flow-able.
I have applied to lesion twice per day for 7 days. No bandage used. So far; there has been no change in the lesion, except it appears to be a little more dark and ulcerated, than before the treatment.
There has been no burning of the skin during treatment.
I intend to keep treating the area with pine sap for another 7 to 14 days, and note the effects, if any.

Not to scare you but dark and irregular edges / borders are 2 warning signs of a possible melanoma which unlike BCC and AK's can be very deadly
Do some googlng and study what Melanoma and other skin cancers looks like. If you even have the slightest inkling it may be Melanoma get it looked at by a Dermatologist NOW, who will most likely have it biopsied. I know people have removed melanomas with Bloodroot paste. I doubt any of the solutions on this board would do much of anything but temporarily change the look.
You are a great addition to the Forum here and we'd like to keep you around so don't mess with this.
Good luck and keep us posted.. |

pine sap/resin/pitch experiment: DAY 20
DAY 20 -- I have been using the pine pich (jack pines ? /black pines ?) plus 10% coconut oil.
I have not seen any effect, or benefits to the lesion. The lesion continues to ulcerate and produce a dark, dry blood layer just below the surface of the lesion area., just as it would if no treatment was applied.

Reply to Anivoc;
Hi;, ......... I went to some skin cancer photo websites today.
The skin cancers labeled "basal cell" had the most specimans that visually matched the lesion on my shoulder.
A few "SSM" TYPE melanoma photos came very close also.
A few squamous cell photos looked very close, or identical, also.
to me; it doesn't much matter what the laboratory diagnosis of a biopsy of my skin lesion would be. I would not waste the time or money in getting one done. Frankly, I would not believe anything a medical doctor had to say about.
I intend to take care of the lesion with some soldering paste and bloodroot salve mixture; after I get thru experimenting with some other recipes.
thanks for the advice, tho.
I don't have a digital camera, but I will try to upload a photo of a similar looking skin cancer,labeled to be a basal cell carcinoma type, below:

Interesting you mention soldering paste. Did you come up with that on your own detective work? One of the few easy to get items on the shelf with zinc chloride, the other half of the bloodroot paste mixture.
I am also thinking about trying a diluted down BR paste solution. The big Daddy on my head just won't go away and I'm tiring of trying.
To be clear from my point of view, BR paste is the most effective but certainly not a 100% thing. I know this because I have had to retreat more than one area.
That said one of the areas I had to retreat was an area I had cut out by a derm a few years before. There is no 100% in this game. When I showed my BR paste pictures to one of the derms I have seen he was amazed and said it appears BR paste does what it takes Aldara a month to do in one day. I have had aldara packs sitting in the medicine chest for 3 years now hoping to find a (as we say) softer gentler way to eradicate these tumors. I have about 15 -20 ak areas on my face and @ 4 areas on my neck, forehead and top of head that are BCC. There is no doubt the various concoctions here are holding all of them at bay but certainly not wiping any of them out.
It would really be helpful to the visitors of this forum if you could scrounge up an old digital camera and document your treatment. The pictures I posted were done with a older 1.3 megapixel camera that can probably be gotten for $10 or $20 at this time of dime a dozen cameras.
Goood Luck and keep us posted. |

anivoc;
about ALDARA:
I have never tried it. I did do some internet reasearch on people who did do it, 3 or 4 years ago. I advise you [and other people on this forum] to do the same. IT IS A VERY VERY BAD DRUG. People are saying that it gave them deadly internal cancers, a short time after they used it !!! And some other deadly neuro-degerative diseases, if I remember correctly. I think some of them are now dead.
It is nothing like the hoxsey salves. Entirely different.
Do yourself a favor and research what others who did this ALDARA salve have experienced over the long haul. I mean 6 months to a year, or more, after they applied it to their skin. ....... Way to deadly for me to try.
-----------
Hoxsey salve:
I used the term "soldering paste" to mean zinc chloride, because that is the most common use of zinc chloride, as a soldering flux to clean metal.... an acid thing.
Actually I was just being al little humorus, because if I was making a hoxsey salve, I would try to get some U.S.P. grade Z-CL powder from a chemical supplier.
Now, ..... as for the hoxsey salve not working every time; Statistically- historically- it has a 98% cure ratio.
Dan Raber says to make sure you don't pull the escar off prematurely, but let it fall off naturally of its own accord. Let it fall off in the bandage, when it will. The reason being, that the cancer has tiny little rootlets going down deeper than the main cancer mass, and you must not break the main mass off from the rootlets, but instead have the rootlets die and come off with the eschar. If you get tired of looking at the eschar, and pull it off, then you will leave some rootlets behind in your flesh, and the rootlets will cause a second cancer to grow there. .... See Dan Raber's website for details, or his dvd.
Also, they recommend you leave the killing salve on the lesion for a full 24 hours, before removing it. But if the burning gets too intense, then remove it ealier than 24 hours, if you can't take the pain any longer. .... say 15 hours, 17 hours, etc.
If I suspected that the 1st treatment did not get it all, after letting it heal up for about 30 days , then judge it. If you want to treat it a 2nd time, I would wait till the 1st treatment was fairly well healed up,[not raw] before putting the hoxsey salve on the 2nd time. Time is on your side, in this situation.
Now, ......... so far, from the experiences I have been reading on this forum; the 24 hours of burning and stinging you endure with the hoxsey salve would amount to LESS pain than the other treatments I am reading about, when you add up all the segments of pain they give you.
As far as MOHS surgery goes, Mr. Mohs simply plagarized the hoxsey salve [or one of its precursors/derivatives]and then found out a way of charging a lot of money for surgically removing the dead cancer tissue , piece by piece. The whole idea is a step back-ward. But it is AMA approved, and the AMA doctor gets to charge you a lot of money for meddling into your dead cancer tissue. Other than him making a lot of money, the whole process is stupid and ignorant. It's all about the money.
I hope to get a camera in the near future. They are getting a lot cheaper now.

Thanks D
I as you do a lot of research before I leap and that is why the aldara is sitting in the medicine chest for 3 years now.. kind of a maybe last result possible alternative.
I have read everything of Dan Rabers and spoke to probably 10 other people who used Bloodroot paste before I tried it myself.
The 98% is a statistic and a very loosey goosey statistic at that. I have a hard time believing I'm Mr. 2% but maybe. There is no doubt the stuff goes after the cancer. I spoke extensively with Dr. Larson ( Horse Vet ) who studied the salves and made XXterra which is what I used. He explained in lay man that the cancers have a sheild that fools the imune system into thinking it is part of the body.The BR pops the sheild and exposes the cancer to our immune system and the white blood cells go to work. That's why it turns all white.
I followed the protocol to the T 24 hours, let the escar fall out on it's own and everything looked and healed nice a few years later some came back..
I retreated and again some came back. I have 2 ones on my forehead.
I have been able to wipe out one of the smaller with Sunspot ES . It mad a big cavity and then starting healing. Looks pretty good right now. Not so with the other one.. Six months now and still fighting it every day. There is a 1 1/2" area and little ulcers pop up come and go in random circles. Sucks..
I know the bloodroot will smack it fast and hard. It's that swelling and 2 months of recovery that is tough when you're in sales.
I look like Quasimodo for a few weeks when I use the BR.

Regarding pine pitch, a form of organic sulfur.
PAV as well as pure pitch 1 is available from NATRhealth.com
Currently their web site is under construction but PAV, pitch
extra virgin olive oil and a dash of petroleum as a food grade
stabilizer is available from Native American Tree Resins for
the past 35 years. This form of pitch is not sticky.
Any skin infection, any insect, snake or animal bite but not
intended for healthy skin. It works well on "cold sores" if
applied at the first sign of the "bump" but is not intended as
a lip balm unless you desire Angelina Jolle lips. Not recommended.
We study organic sulfur in its various forms found in nature. |

Just a note of caution on the bloodroot. The Quackwatch website has an article on bloodroot called "Don't Use Corrosive Cancer Salves (Escharotics), by Stephen Barrett, MD.
I was considering using the bloodroot myself until I came across this article.
The pictures of a few bloodroot users were enough to just about make my hair stand on end - definitely nightmare scenarios. One lady lost half her face, including her nose. The cases appeared to be fairly well documented. A couple of the patients went overboard on application it seems, but my feeling is that I'm just finding out now how sensitive my own skin is. Who knows how anyone's skin will react to such a treatment. And if the cancer is deep and spread out underneath the skin, how can the size of the eschar be predicted? I just think it's way too scary.
It may work well for some, and for some cancers. But there may also be people for whom the bloodroot is extremely dangerous.

Hi Allie,
The Quackwatch site is very biased and leaves out the very important fact that the horrifying pictures you see there are of a woman who had extensive skin cancer. Had they photographed the same woman while having her skin cancer removed via MOHS surgery I assure you the Surgeon would have needed to remove more skin than the bloodroot did.. and that's the sad truth of that poor womans fate.
If you have as extensive of skin cancer as that woman did, I think I would have rather had it removed under the care of a doctor.
For small lesions that is another story.
Bloodroot paste is not for th faint of heart but it is a very effective method of treatment for skin cancers.
Certainly there may be people who are very allergic to it.
I did hundreds of hours of research and telephone interviews with bloodroot users before I used it.
When I did get my first jar, before I applied it to my tumor, I swabbed a glob on the underside of my forearm where I was sure the skin was healthy. I covered it with a bandaid and let it sit for 24 hours.. Nada, nothing no effect.
The next day I applied it to my first tumor.. in a mater of seconds I knew things were happening.. all I can say is yeeeeouch!
I have posted my experience here elsewhere and lots of pictures.
It's a personal choice and to each his own. Though the quackwatch article on bloodroot paste may be very well intending, it is IMO a very one sided and blatantly uninformed assessment of bloodroot and it's value vs. danger.

Thanks so much for your input Anivoc. I have seen the pictures you very kindly shared with us. Seems like you had some success with the bloodroot, and that's so good!
I agree that the Quackwatch site is very biased. However, I still think it's important to consider all the possibilities, good and bad, for each treatment - whatever the source.
It's difficult to determine that the ladies in the pictures on Quackwatch had extensive cancer before applying the bloodroot. There's no mention of a biopsy for the woman who lost half her face. And according to the Quackwatch article, the woman who burned off her nose had no biopsy at all. Another woman had a bump removed from her nose by her primary physician that was diagnosed as being a benign fibroadenoma. She was still worried that it was cancer, so she applied the bloodroot; and within a week, "a large part of her nose had been destroyed". Apparently, this case is documented in a book called, "Natural Causes".
The article also mentions that bloodroot often doesn't remove all the cancer, even when the lesion has healed over after treatment. Scar tissue from the bloodroot treatment could cause further complications in treating the remaining cancer when it reappears down the road. And the cancer could spread under the skin, even though on the surface, it looks like it's healed.
As for the appropriateness of treating small lesions with bloodroot, I don't know if there's a way to determine if the lesion is large or small, just by what you can see on the surface. For myself, one lesion is about 1/4" diameter, just left of the tip of my nose. When I started treating (with an eggplant mix), several extensions appeared across my nose in different directions. Those extensions have since disappeared, but even though the main lesion is now fading, I don't know if those extensions still exist underneath the skin where I can't see them. I intend to keep up the eggplant treatment for some time, even after the area appears to be completely healed.
For me, I admit it, I'm definitely faint at heart when it comes to taking my chances with either the bloodroot OR surgery, including MOHS. I think if I'd chosen to have MOHS a month ago when all those extensions surfaced, the surgeon would have taken one look and started out by taking a huge hunk out of my nose. But at least with MOHS, there's biopsies involved to determine a limit to the surgery, and the cure rate is good.
For now, the eggplant mix is working well for me. Thank goodness! I'll be updating my progress on this forum on the eggplant thread. |

The proof was in the pictures at quackwatch. Bloodroot paste does not effect healthy skin. As I said, IMO had she had Mohs surgery it would have been more extensive than what you saw at quackwatch
Agreed that bloodroot just as with efudex, and other chemicals that attack skin cancers. They may not get all the cancer and the cancer can grow underneath the scar tissue. This is why there have been a lot of derms saying don't use efudex...yet carac is the same thing at half potency and can cause the same issues.

Definitely Anivoc, you and I are in agreement about the negatives concerning these chemical treatments like efudex. Their potential side effects are another great concern. I'm hoping that the natural alternatives really do exist - without dangerous side effects. So far - thank goodness - my experience with the eggplant/raspberry seed/oregano extract/noni mix is more than meeting my expectations.
But for all those who do choose to go with the chems, or with MOHS or with bloodroot, good luck to you in that endeavor and best wishes! |

I had a basal cell cancer on my forearm that grew quickly from a patch of Keritosis which was very itchy. It formed a tumor that was about 1/8 inch high, 1/4 inch deep and about 1/2 inch around It was an angry red color. I diagnosed it from pictures and You tube on the Internet. Here is how I treated it:
Week 1 - oil of oregano and iodine. Not much change
Week 2 - home made eggplant extract kept moist under bandage. Some small improvement at surface only.
Week 3 - pine tree salve made from pine resin, petroleum and olive oil. Purchases from same place muteshoes got it (thank you very much). Immediate improvement.
Week 4- added Turmeric to the salve by patting on the powder until surface was dry. Hastened healing by a factor of 2. Each day the tumor shrank
Week 5 - Tumor is almost completely gone, only a small scab left. Skin looks great. One setback was that I used some sports tape made in China. Cause severe irritation on the other side of the arm, and possibly more cancer, which I am treating the same way. I now use elastic bandage made in USA.
Thanks to everyone on this blog. I'm very grateful to you all.

Well done laruecharles, nice experiment! Thanks so much for the post. It is always welcome to hear both unsuccessful and successful stories.
I have a few questions. Which pine tree salve product did you use? There seem to be a bunch of them at http://www.natrhealth.com/category/catalog/tree-resin-products . Was it the PAV skin care ointment "The Miracle Salve" ?
Were any of the treatments painful?
What brand of tumeric (powder?) did you add?
I guess I should also ask what brand of bandage?
If others try the laruecharles method, it would be nice to know if pine tree salve by itself is enough, if tumeric is also necessary, or even if the week 1 and 2 treatments with oregano, iodine, and eggplant were needed set it all up.
In any case, it was great that you did not leave out the week 1 and 2 details, even though they do not seem important right now. It seems the active ingredient may be a pine sap terpine, and we have seen success with other terpines as well such as d-limonene. |

The name of the pine resin product is Super PAV
The Turmeric spice powder came from Sprouts markets and also from Indian food grocery stores
The elastic bandage, made in the USA, came from CVS pharmacy.
Latest report:
The tumor is gone, but the skin is still red. I have started adding Vitamin D3 cream to the skin, along with the pine resin salve and the Turmeric powder - all at the same time. It's too soon to tell, will give another report. |

Since my last post on 8/5/2013 (about 5 weeks ago) the skin cancer on my forearm is gone completely. No tumor, no itching, nothing. The red surface blotch on the area has now tanned over and is hard to see. I haven't been using anything on the skin for the last 2 or 3 weeks.
My conclusion is that a combination of pine tree resin and turmeric will quickly heal BCC lesions.
Blessings to all of you on this blog and my sincerest thanks for your ideas and experiences. |
