I stumbled across this forum whilst researching red raspberry seed oil for topical use. I am a homeopath and a formulator of organic skin care products. If i could make a suggestion to people wanting to integrate a topical approach to their skin problem be it cancer or something else it would be this.
DO NOT spend your money buying a commercial application. MAKE IT YOUR SELF!! there are a few companies that sell small amounts of organic raspberry seed oil and the other seed oil research showing to be of benefit to skin cancer is Pomegranate seed oil. Don't make an emulsion, your diluting the point. Use the oil directly on the skin 4-5 times a day and make sure the oils are organic, cold pressed and food grade. I manufacture a product that is a blend of Pomegranate, Raspberry and Rosehip with 8 CO2 herbs and botanicals, all organic and food grade for just £42 for 30 mls--it makes me so cross to see companies exploit people. One more point, gently exfoliate with a fruit acid (AHA or Vit C solution 10%) to remove the umberella of dead skin cells and allow the oil to penetrate more easily. Also look up Dr Canell at the VIt D research Institute. Good luck everyone. |

Because many of us use a variety of different substances for skin cancers, what ingredients do you recommend as a base to carry the healing agents into the skin, to really penetrate the skin well? Also, could you post your website if you have one, too? Thanks for posting. |

| Brigid, that's a good question. My ps oil idea didn't work, so I cut the whole plant down and juiced it. Even though its fall and full of seeds it seems pretty strong. I would like to ad something for a preservative, I was thinking of vinegar. |

| Hello again, sorry it's taken me a while to check back with you guys. To answer the above question. I suggest, but please allow me to make it clear that i am nothing more than a Homeopath & organic skincare formulator, i would not use a base other than to prepare the skin by exfoliating with an acid solution like a 10% ascorbic acid (Vitamin C powder in water, but never store it, always make it fresh and then throw it away as otherwise it becomes unstable after a couple of houres or less) solution to remove the umbrella of dead skin cells and prime the skin, just 3 times a week would do depending where on the body. If it is an are of tough skin, perhapes more often, if it's an area of sensitive skin, less often. The important addition I would like to add is to consider adding rosemary CO2 antioxidant and Vitamin E to add extra antioxidant protection to the oil. 1% and 3% Vit E. check out www.aromantic.co.uk for supplys & if your ever interested www.naturalwisdom.co.uk. Good luck lovely people, never give up. xx |
