I copy here from the first entry there. There is more to say on this subject, but since this approach has not yet been shown on this forum to be effective, I leave you to research it if you are interested. The website in the Philippines allows the DeBCC product to be purchased by physicians.

"From DAN: Good find trudie! An abstract of a Phillipine study "A Combination of Gliricdia Sepium and Anacardium Occidentale (Linn.) (DeBCC) for the Treatment of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) or Skin Cancer" is at http://www.debcc.com/clinicalstudies.html#clinicalstudies There are some pretty severe skin cancer before and after pictures at http://www.debcc.com/clinicalphotographs.html Those are huge lesions to try to treat topically."

The single other approach which I find promising you can learn more about on the Petty Spurge threads, such as: http://www.topicalinfo.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=278.

I myself had Mohs for a spot below the eye, mostly because I was new to all of this. I guess they got THE spot, but I did not feel reassured that they found all problems in the area. In fact, I was told that they wanted to treat the specific spot identified and did not plan to look at other things at that time. The Mohs surgeon did a good and clean-edged job and the plastic surgeon did a pretty good repair, not unsightly. However, my choice from now on is to avoid repeat entanglements with Mohs, if possible.
