NOTE: I don't know what the laws are and I don't want to get sued. Use my information at your own risk. I'm just trying to help in any way I can, because NO ONE should have to go through what I went through - numbing devastation and fear. If this helps you, PLEASE spread the word!

3 skin cancer growths on my face cured in a WEEK of applying Hydrogen Peroxide on them - HOW YOU APPLY could mean the difference between EFFECTIVE, or NOT (read further for detailed explanation). (NOTE: I use a lot of repetition, to make sure you understand exactly what I'm referring to.)

I would definitely recommend trying this before you try bloodroot.

THANK GOD!! WOW! I'm still shocked it worked and it took only a WEEK!!! How is this possible that people don't know about this and a truth so simple is not known by everyone is beyond me.

My story and how I used Hydrogen Peroxide 3% to cure my skin cancers: Over the period of two years two cancerous growths appeared on my face (nose); one of them was growing very slow the other one faster. Then in less then a year another one appeared on my face as well - on the side of my nose very close to my eye. That one was growing at an alarming rate. All those growths hurt with unusual intensity when touched and had tiny veins but they were not moles. They were kind of the color of my skin except more red and at times really red. I applied just about every fruit on them I could think of with what seemed no effect. I was getting worried and felt helpless. I begged God to help me and I searched a lot. I found this great site and read that there have been reports that Hydrogen Peroxide cured melanoma. I was going to try the eggplant and white vinegar remedy, but was worried about the fumes from the vinegar being so close to my eye. So I decided to try the Hydrogen Peroxide first. At first it didn't seem to have any effect at all. I was getting so worried by that point because the spot close to my eye was growing even faster and by then it was about 5 millimeters in diameter and just few months ago it was a tiny spot. In my helplessness.

HOW I USED IT:

I took a cotton swab and soaked it in Hydrogen Peroxide and kept rubbing the cancerous growth with the Hydrogen Peroxide soaked cotton swab until the growth was soaked in the Hydrogen Peroxide and was white. It stung badly, but I didn't care, I just wanted these things gone. I was so desperate, my eyes watered every time I looked at the spots on my face. After the soaking of the growths I applied cotton soaked in Hydrogen Peroxide on them. NOTE: when soaking the skin with Hydrogen Peroxide make sure you don't do it to the healthy skin, because even though it is more resistant to getting white and soaked with the Hydrogen Peroxide, it will also get white after a while. If healthy tissue gets white like that, let it air out until it regains its normal color. So do the soaking to the unhealthy tissue only or as close as you can get. After soaking and making it white apply soaked in Hydrogen Peroxide cotton ball on the growth and when the cotton gets dry, wet it with more Hydrogen Peroxide. How it worked was: the soaked cancerous growth after a while formed as crust much like what happens with a normal sore. The strangest thing is I see no scars it flattened it out like it was never there..IN A WEEK!!! Even the fast growing one!! I'M STILL IN SHOCK. I tried SO many things. THANK GOD. THANK GOD!!!"

John writes again: "In my previous email to you, I forgot to mention:

1. I stopped drinking tap water and started drinking purified water when I was doing my Hydrogen Peroxide therapy.

2. I tried applying the Raspberry Skin Cream well known to cure skin cancer to the cancerous growths on my face for weeks, but it didn't work for me - I noticed no difference. I have heard the Raspberry Skin Cream worked well for many people after about two weeks.

3. Also I forgot to mention when I started my Hydrogen Peroxide I also started using air purifier that is running 24/7 in my bedroom.

In my opinion this skin cancer is nothing to play around with. I have a brother who has had skin cancer occur a number of times. He sees a dermatologist who easily deals with these growths in his office. My brother has told me it is NOT painful to have these growths removed by a qualified doctor. The big danger with not having them removed promptly is that skin cancer can cause more serious cancers throughout the body if not removed by a qulified doctor as soon as they occur... Oscar

Have you heard about black salve? It supposedly draws the skin cancer out of the skin naturally as a lump. It's an all natural remedy with dmso, zinc chloride and glycerine, plus herbs chapparal, galangal, graviola and bloodroot. I haven't needed it so I'm only passing on what I've learnt along the way. It's apparently cured breast cancers too. Check it out.

I need help with information about the use of interferon for melanoma. My 19 year old daughter has been diagnosed with a Meltump, it was biopsied, they did surgery to check for any further growth, of which doctor said was clear, they biopsied 6 lymph nodes, they found a .2 mm tumor on her sentinel node. The doctor now wants to run a organ scan, and start her up on interferon, which is required to give herself 3 injections a day, and would have to deal with flu like symptoms for up to a month or so. we have elected to go to Tiajuana Mexico to the Bio-Medical Clinic, they have had great success with skin melanomas.

My question is, has anyone had experience with the use of Interferon, its side effects?? Any other Information would be great.

Has anyone had experience with the Bio-Medical Clinic in Tiajuana??? They use the Huxley formula, they moved to Mexico from Texas because they were being harrassed. Please help because we also have another doctor that say we should definitely use Interferon.

Please please please help with this, I have a beautiful young 19 year old daughter here, and I want to have her to able to live a great and long life. Any suggestions??? Any thoughts about where to go or we right to go to the Bio-Medical Clinic. We are going this Tuesday any information would be great.

My 22 yr old daughter also has melanoma and has had 3 surgeries with more to come. I'm looking for any kind of information on alternate remedies to interferon too because of its side effects. I've been told hydrogen peroxide might be helpful but how do you take this internally? Any other suggestions?

I tried interferon in 2009, after 3 weeks of high-dose my liver enzymes went out-of-whack and my liver started to shut down. While on the treatment I had massive headaches, flu-like symptoms, and my personality changed (short tempered, mad at my family for no reason and very mean). I stopped the treatment and it all went away within a week. My oncologist said there was only a 10% chance it would reduce a recurrence and asked if I wanted to try self-dosing (epipen) every day at a lower dose, I denied and carried on with my life. Before the interferon I had a wide margin dissection where the mole was and a sentinal lymph node biopsy, the node came back negative. I had a recurrence in 2011 which resulted in surgery to remove the lumps and had radiation in the area.

There is no right or wrong answer as to what to do, at first diagnosis you reach for answers and cures other than surgery, chemo (which doesn't work for melanoma) and radiation. I personally don't believe alot of the crap that is on the internet about natural cures, actually the internet will only fill your head with false hope and promises and you'll waste alot of money at the same time. A good website for help is MRF (Melanoma Research Foundation), there is alot of knowledge there from patients and their families. I wish you my blessings, never lose hope or give up, a positive attitude is everything!

There are a lot of people sharing their similar experiences and successful treatments and CURES of Melanoma with a more natural approach. It does not sound as if you have given any of the alternative treatments the possibility of a fair try. EarthClininc is a good start in reading about ones experience using natural remedies for a variety of aliments including cancer.

I hope at some point you do investigate it with an open mind as there are hundreds (if not more around the world) of people sharing their testimony of their cures with corresponding oncology diagnosis and follow-up results after treatments, proving a factual basis that the cancer was cured with out the using any of the approved methods like chemo, radiation or cutting.

The "reality" most people are familiar with cancer is created and governed by the FDA with their corresponding laws regarding claims and approved cancer treatments. All the "approved" data taken in through television, news media and set standards in the medical and pharmaceutical establishments, writes our perception of cancer reality IF we do not stop to think for ourselves, questions "reality" and research, discern a wider spectrum of cancer reality.

For those who have yet to do so, this will not make sense as "everyone knows the earth is flat" but eventually the true nature of reality will show cancer it treatable with natural remedies including high dosage of Vitamin C in an IV, clean healthy organic diet, the removal of toxicity in the body and environment, replenishing the body with minerals not present in the food supply due to soil erosion.

Intravenous Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate), will apparently kill melanoma. The mechanism appears to be that it increases the level of h202 in the blood. So our guys with the Peroxide cures appear to have gotten it right. It's also nice to see a Linus Pauling cure in the process of being proven correct (even if he got the mechanism wrong).

I have had great success with using iodine to remove melanoma. I have had 2 separate brown and irregularly shaped growths on my body that where getting bigger over the years which I removed with Lugol's 5% iodine solution. The 2% solution requires more applications, so for lazy people like me I recommend the 5% solution. I would apply it at least once per day and twice if I could remember. I took a nail file and lightly exfoliated the area to remove any dead skin cells that might have blocked the absorption of the iodine before I applied it. It took about 6 to 10 weeks to have them scab up and fall off. They were itchy soon after I applied the iodine but in about 15-20 minutes it stopped being itchy. This is one of the best remedies that I found on this site and I highly recommend it.

HI U GOOD FOLKS DOIN, , , , , , , Recently read of Dr Simoncini's iodine cure for skin cancer and found a forum in which 6 of 7 people had cured their problem with 5 % Lugol's Iodine. They took this route after their Dermotologist had made a mess of things. Normally, I go to my Dermotologist once a year and have my skin problems frozen with CO2. I have taken some off via ACV as others do on this site. This time I am taking a growth off with the Iodine. I think this may be a better method than the ACV. The forum folks say their growths did not come back. We'll see.

HI U GOOD FOLKS, , , , , well I've used Lugol's Iodine on my hand growth for over a month and a half and it has only gotten larger and higher. Last week at my Vit C , B Complex IV, I told a fellow patient and showed him the spot. He told me that I was a dumb ass and showed me where he had numerous skin grafts because he delayed in getting them removed. He said, "fella, if that gets into your lymph system, you a dead man". That comment scared my mule and I immediately made an appointment with my surgeon to have it removed.

Like the old gambling song goes, there's a time to hold and a time to fold. The thing looks just like the photo's of Melanoma on the net. Also, my brother in law let his get into his lymph nodes and it now has returned. We try to go the natural way, but sometimes you got to see a sho nuff doctor.

Also, I am going back to my dermatologist because my research on this problem says that sometimes you can't see your problem, but can feel it. This is the way my present situtation started. I think it is best to handle these by CO2 freezing while you can.

As I've told ya'll many times, I's smart, jus slow. If I don't come back as a goat in the next life, I will do things differently.

Robert Henry, I had a mole turn nasty on my back a few yrs ago and I threw everythang in the medicine cabinet at it and 6 mo later I felt it itch and scratched the bugger right off and on the floor. I posted the products on E.C. somewhere before but the logic here is variety. If the doc can't beat it, use one substance or treatment for 1 wk then rotate to the other.

For well over a year I have had a slowly enlarging growth on my face that began with tiny discoloration under my skin. After it broke the surface I began trying every one of a number of creams that have worked on rashes, etc. , in the past, such as vaseline, cortesone, Neosporin, and even the strong Desoximetasone Cream. The growth increased in size - about like a fingernail - and became red and rough. After reading about Iodine on this site, I researched and ordered Lugol's. Two weeks ago I took it internally for four days as they direct and also began applying it to the area every night. It stung at first and seemed slightly irritated, but after a week I suspected improvement and it no longer stung. Last night it felt tight so I barely scraped at the edge of the thin scab and it fell off. Today the redness is gone and a little residue is visible only because I know where to look. With a magnifying mirror I observed a little star patterned mark, which may mean something to a dermatologist. This is just terrific.

I use tincture of iodine (everyday) on skin ulcers which refuse to heal. Sometimes I apply iodine 2 to 3 times a day. I never miss a day when treating squamous cell carcinoma. The area being treated by the tincture of iodine often becomes very sensitive or itchy...don't discontinue the iodine...keep applying iodine on the ulcer. The itchy skin will scab up...it's just the healing process. Scrape off the skin if it again develops a white flaky patch or a brown scab...then, apply more iodine. Use the iodine for at least one to two months until the skin ulcer has completely disappeared. Then, use Retin-A cream to complete the skin rejuvenation process. Use Palm Fruit Oil along with the iodine to promote deep healing and along with sun block to prevent future skin damage. The ulcer patches have developed on my hands and lower arms. One skin damaged area shows my skin separating on crease lines on top of my wrist. The day after I applied the tincture of iodine to the separating skin, the crease lines showed signs of healing, as blood circulation appeared in the area. The areas I treat are all about the size of a quarter, which is larger than the freckle-sized spot. I figure the underlying skin damage takes in a larger area and it may only show up on the skin as a small freckle-sized spot. Last, everyone will ask you why you are using iodine on your skin...it's orange...it's sooo old fashioned. Don't let the embarrassment of orangey skin stop your self-treatment...it beats having a doctor remove the cancer and leaving you with holes where the carcinoma or melanoma used to be. I use this treatment on all skin problems, to include possible melanoma. In addition to the topical treatment, I plan to add a daily dose of Lugol's Iodine in my drinking water. I want to treat all cancers and other health problems from within. I have red hair and white skin with lots of freckles, and I am very sun sensitive. I have been terribly burned year after year while growing up in California. I am now 56 years old, and the skin cancer is just starting to appear. That's why I feel it necessary to add the Lugol's Iodine daily to my drinking water.

If you're using iodine for topical use and don't want the orange stain..remember you can buy decolorized (clear) iodine. Leaves no evidence behind! I found mine at the local drugstore for about $5.

Only Use Iodine on Non-Malignant Melanoma

I used Iodine for my malignant melanoma on my right cheek. Not good. I almost killed myself in the process.

ONLY use Iodine for non-malignant melanoma. My melanoma spread to my brain, and when I put Iodine on my cheek topically, it must've been trying to attack the cancer in my brain as well, and I started having such severe dizzy spells, that I thought I was going to die. These dizzy spells lasted for weeks. Unlike anything I have ever experienced. They were so crippling, that I thought any day could be my last.

I had to heal my cancer from the inside out.

Low carb, alkaline diet, eating right for my blood type O, plenty of meditation, exercise, sunlight, sleep, and love.

The biggest thing for me was going on a low carb, high vegetable diet. I feel like candida/poor digestion played a huge role in the formation of my cancer.

It took months of super strict eating and super clean living, but, it worked. Iodine, on the other hand, damn near killed me.

I went to a talk this weekend by one of the leading alternative cancer specialists in the country. I asked about bloodroot (cancema) as I've found all the info quite interesting on this and have a friend who used it for breast cancer and swears by it. The doctor said it was effective but a really painful way to get rid of (predominantly) melanoma. She said to put drops of Lugol's iodine on the spot instead and it would eventually kill it off - roots and all. Also works for warts. She said if you do opt to have the cancer removed surgically, make sure you take burdock root and other blood purifiers for at least a week after as some roots (of the cancer tumor) will break off or get left behind, they then make their way into the bloodstream, and then attach themselves to something else - like an organ - and it starts all over again. She also had some interesting things to say about lemons but I'll post those on the lemon remedies page.

Hi, I would like to mention that iodine can be a huge problem if you are hypothyroid, the reason for this is 95% of people that are hypo have Hashimoto's disease. This is an autoimmune condition where the thyroid attacks itself, adding iodine can be like throwing gasoline on a fire....

Editor's Choice I am sorry for your loss... however, bitter much? I sure am, only I'm on the opposite side of the coin...let me share with you what happens in melanoma removal in my family. I lost my beloved father after he, at age 59, let surgeons follow the dots and cut out his melanoma on his shoulder. Well since they drug their feet between drawing their dot-to-dot and surgery, it spread PAST their little drawing over that 2 weeks and also went deeper and entered his lymph system. Two more weeks later it was in his liver and the size of a grapefruit. They then dropped the ball on starting his chemo soon enough.

Chemo by the way comes from mustard gas, MUSTARD GAS look it up! They started his chemo cocktail...round one...felt okay, round two, peeing blood and fever of 105,2 days into round 3 I pulled the plug on the chemo because there was more blood, lumps now showed up on his spine and skull, I had to help him to the commode and yet the chemo center was pleading with us to bring him in to pour more poison into his body, they called the house 4 times a day, even offered to bring that poison to the house and run it through his half dead body! I finally had to threaten to call the authorities if they called back, it was awful! I was his medical power of attorney. He had made me sign the paperwork knowing I would know when to pull the plug on the chemo and to this day I wish I'd pulled it after that first round!!

He insisted on 'trying' the chemo because he felt he had nothing to lose and that we, the family left behind, would always 'wonder' if he didn't try it. We had watched 7 other family members die from their side effects from chemo, not from their melanoma! Three more have died since daddy - same results! I was diagnosed with melanoma that same year as he was, yet I changed my diet and have used & grasped any and every natural protocol I can get my hands on. Daddy died within 4 months with surgery & medical intervention and 2 full rounds of the nasty! I am still here...currently 10 years later in 2017! Oh, and my aunt had it removed with same results, two cousins, same thing, chemo side effects killed them before they could finish their cocktails! 😢

Let me say this: you have to do the research! You have to use the right protocols inside and out and change your diet, gut health and stress level is crucial! One man's protocol is not the magic cure all for the next guy. AND..it takes time to see if a protocol is having an effect or not! No one can promise or guarantee that their particular protocol can cure, treat or heal your particular ailment, tumor, etc, it's all trial and error. But I'll take natural over mustard gas any day and twice on Sunday, esp after my years of research since losing my dad, husband and so many others to cancer! God has given us what we need to heal, treat, and cure ourselves from within and topically, and it's not a magic pill, radiation or nerve gas derivative & it doesn't come at the price of taking a scalpel to our bodies, although if the time comes I can't shrink an internal tumor, I think I might consider removal, but never ever chemo! Natural is always ALWAYS best, you just have to research the correct natural protocol, and I'm truly sorry that whatever it was your daughter in law tried out did not work for her but did the opposite. It sounds like either she attacked an already large tumor with something that adversely made it grow, or perhaps the concoction had impure ingredients. Often I run across many who cannot get their hands on what they 'really need' for a protocol, so they'll substitute something close or a knockoff of the main ingredient. Another option could be that her 'type' of cancer tumor cell responded rapidly to treatment by enlarging, whereas a melanoma would have shrunk. This is to say that there are certain protocols for melanoma that only work for 'melanoma', just as there are protocols for basal cell cancer tumors that only work for that type of skin cancer and so on.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Interesting about the nail polish. There's another theory that you might not have heard of which is previous injury to the area. I have spoken to a few friends over the years who reported that they got melanoma on areas of the body that they had injured a few years before. As I understand it, cells in the area of injury get damaged and no longer differentiate. Among the canine greyhound rescue community, it is widely known that greyhounds are susceptible to bone cancer after they retire from the racetrack. The dogs don't typically get bone cancer where they had broken a bone (bone fractures usually heal well when set right) but they do get cancer in the area that had a severe injury but not a break. So keep that in mind because you could have stubbed a toe repeatedly or if you wore tight shoes that jammed your toes as this might have something to do with it.

Needless to say, be good to your feet from now on and careful of the shoes you wear. Melanoma is nothing to mess around with. Best of luck. Do let us know how you are doing.

I strongly suspect that Malassezia yeast, in combination with environmental and virulence factors that favor its growth, are the cause of Melanoma.

Key points about Malassezia:

- It infects melanocytes in the skin.

- It accumulates melanin.

- Non-lethal exposure to UV radiation stimulates the growth of fungi.

- Unlike candida and most other common yeasts, Malassezia feeds on LIPIDS rather than sugar/starch. Note that because of this, Malassezia will *not* be found in serum fungal cultures because the medium they use is sugar/starch based; it does not contain lipids which are required for Malassezia to grow.

- It is very slow growing, meaning overgrowth occurs over years or even decades.

- Risk factors may include: prolonged use of antibiotics or steroids, exposure to UV radiation (sun, CT scans & other medical procedures, etc), use of oil-based skin lotions, diet high in vegetable oils/animal fats (sources of oleic acid), excessive alcohol (with the possible exception of beer and dry red wine), high cholesterol/triglycerides. High sebum/skin oil and high triglycerides could in theory also be CAUSED by Malassezia. It might release acids etc. that cause the body to respond with increased lipids. (Makes sense since that is its food source).

If I am correct, it may be possible to reduce one's risk by eliminating things that favor the growth of Malassezia. I don't know what treatment options there might be once Melanoma occurs. In general, sulfur seems to inhibit the growth of fungi so that's at least something to think about. Not sure whether levels in food would be high enough to have an effect. Foods high in sulfur include garlic, onions, brassica vegetables like broccoli. Highly pigmented/colorful foods (red-purple-green) are another avenue to explore. I would be careful about supplements containing Vitamin D or iron, as these can feed yeast from what I've read.

I have had 6 In Situ Melanomas over the course of 12yrs with a handful of atypical moles removed. In 2015 I developed a soft tissue sarcoma. I have tried everything from Black Raspberry Oil, Frankincense, tea tree oil, orange oil, Etc. Nothing seems to stop the growth of these things. I would highly recommend that anyone that thinks you have a melanoma or suspicious mole get it checked out by a professional. I read a lot of these posts and shake my head as to how many people assume they either have a melanoma or some type of skin cancer. Till you are diagnosed by a professional don't blow your money like I have on self help remedies. I self admittedly admit I still am opened to trying natural solutions, but based on my history I have lost confidence in holistic medicines. I have never tried hydrogen peroxide. I may just try it, but as I seem to be growing skin cancers at an alarming rate for being a 43 yr old male. Most of my melanomas have been on my back and torso region. I go to Duke every 6 months for follow ups. At this point I feel like I deserve a VIP parking pass. Gosh knows if Duke traded on the stock market I would certainly by stock. The point to all of this is don't practice medicine at home. Till something is found to work for me, I am going to keep seeing specialist. My hope is a vaccine or cure will one day be found for skin cancers. Hopefully I won't be totally disfigured by that time from chunks being taken out of me. I am alive, so I guess that is a positive for now. Take care everyone, and god bless.

Thanks so so much, great information. Take lueferon, (not sure of spelling ) for this yeast (it is lipid soluable and inhibits the chitin in the yeast.) about a gram a day for most people, up to a year to totally eliminate it (and other fungal growths) cancer is associated with fungal diseases.

Hi, Here's another Melanoma story that may help someone. I found a dodgy mole when I was pregnant with my first child at the age of 30.. It looked like the magazine photos but not as bad but as I was pregnant and in and out of the docs frequently I showed it to the doc who humoured me and sent me to the check in centre at hospital. It was a melanoma I had 2 I biopsy and 2 surgeries.. For a small mole a large chunk was removed from my calf. As I was pregnant that was my treatment, it was 1996 so 15 years ago. No lymph nodes or scans were done, it was low grade. I went for 2 hands on healing sessions. When people found out a few collegues and friends of friends told me they had been treated for melanoma too often in places that were not exposed to the sun. I now think it is a deficiency in selenium maybe vit d and c. I remember before my mole I had a strange mole/spot that I had squeezed! Before that when I was around 16 I had a strange sort of sweat burn from using a sunbed. My consultant at the time told me to go away and live my life he said they still did not know the cause and that the sun was one of many lines of study.
I hope this helps x

I just wanted to let you know what else has worked for me now. I was using applications of ACV directly to the basal cell or cancer spots of types unknown. The ACV worked to an extent but took many months it seemed. Then I read a bit about the fact that melatonin has been known to help with the control of melanoma. I never found any actual hard core documentation about the melatonin but there is a lot of references to the fact that melatonin has been useful in the treatment of cancer within the body to certain extents unknown. Nonetheless, I decided that there would be little or no harm in trying to apply melatonin directly and topically to my spots of skin cancer. I am never really sure of what type of skin cancer I have but in the past I have had surgery for carcinomas . I have also been biopsied for pre-cancer and basal cell etc etc. I do not know if I had a melanoma spot recently but it was not healing with ACV or cream or efudex etc. The dermatologist had previously prescribed Efudex for topical treatments when need. By the way, the Efudex did seem to work on the carcinoma and the pre-cancer cells but I am not sure if the Efudex ever really cured anything as I was also using melatonin off and on. So, one day I decided to mix a batch of melatonin for topical applications. So I went and bought some melatonin pills. I took about 20 pills and crushed them as best I could using the back of a stainless steel spoon and a flat glass dinner plate. I crushed the pills into a fine powder and made the powder as fine as I could get it with the spoon method. I did not really know how to make a fine powder so this is what seemed to work. I then mixed the fine crushed melatonin powder with about 3 parts of coconut oil. I used coconut oil because I have learned that it is very high in antioxidants. That's 1 part melatonin powder and 3 parts coconut oil. I mixed the powder into the oil as best I could again using a spoon. The coconut oil can be formed into paste or not formed. The oil seems to turn from paste to oil at about 76 degrees or lower. It does not matter to the mixture. However, I like to keep the coconut oil cooler so that it stays as a paste. After mixing the powder with the coconut oil I began to apply the paste to my suspect spots 3 times per day. I used my fingers to apply as from what I could determine, the melatonin will not harm good cells. I decided that if I applied the melatonin mix to a spot without cancer cells, then that spot would be unchanged? Not very scientific I suppose but I am no scientist or chemist or expert. Exactly why the melatonin works is somewhat explained within various research articles found on the internet but I am not smart enough to explain the chemical actions myself. Nonetheless, I applied the mix to my spots and within about a week or less I noticed that the spots began to scab at the crown of each spot. I was also applying Efudex on some days in place of the melatonin mix. I am not sure why I switched back and forth but I did. The spots kept healing and then I decided to use the melatonin mix only and stopped the Efudex and each spot healed fully within a month and never returned. Because of a biopsy, I was scheduled to have a carcinoma spot on my head surgically removed via the MOHS method but I was not happy about surgery of any kind and especially not on my forehead. So I opted out of the surgery and used the melatonin mix three times per day for about 3-4 weeks until the spot appeared to be just sort of red without scabs and without scales. Just pinkish. Then I stopped using any topical applications to the area so as the air could heal the spot/spots. The melatonin mix worked really well for me and none of the spots has returned within the last 6 months. I also decided to start using a supplement of (COq10, alpha lipoic acid and Acetyl L carnitine) combined. So at the same time, I began taking the supplements because my very limited and elementary research abilities began to show me that the supplements would help stop the occurrence of cancer spots of all types. I am not saying that this method will heal melanoma or prevent melanoma or prevent anything else, because I do not know that at all. I was never diagnosed as actually having melanoma but then again, I never had all the spots biopsied. I am simply saying that I used the mix on all suspect spots and it always worked. I am however, convinced that if I truly saw spots that appeared to have the strong possibility of being a melanoma, I would charge off to the doctor for a biopsy. That's just me. I no longer have any spots and I am hoping that I never will again. We all have very different chemistry within our bodies so your experience might be different. good luck,, mike at [email protected]

Hi Mike thank you for sharing. I wanted to suggest that when you stop treatment on your spot, which by your account was still partially there, that you continue with coconut oil. Coconut oil can kill cancer cells on its own, only it is slower than other methods, but the advantage is that it is clear, so even on the face or forehead it can be applied without embarrassment for eg work purposes. The reason is that some have stated that skin cancers returned because treatment was stopped too early. I am currently using lugols myself, but it is on my arm not my face, and we are in winter here. Best to you

Interesting, but very dangerous, first of all, a melanoma can ONLY be diagnosed after excision by a pathologist and second of all, it is the most deadly skin cancer around, which can easily be cured with a little cut, when you are early enough.

I know, I had it and I would warn anyone who suspects (s)he has a melanoma; go to the docter and ask for it to be cut out, it's NOT worth the risk to lose time over it with self care which takes time you might regret later if you will die of this.

People tend to call a spot 'melanoma' without having 'hard core' evidence it is. This is very dangerous, cause 95% will die when metastised (and it does it fast) in a few years, most will die within 6 months.

But if your fast enough, and teh melanoma is small and cut out, your chances are almost 100 % to survive it.

Do not underestimate this cancer by thinking you can diagnose it yourself without any real knowledge and without a pathologist and then assume you can easily cure it with a 'potion': you may spread false information and someone might die as a result of your infornation.

I am going to try the eggplant/vinegar recipe. Last winter I was diagnosed with breast cancer (non-aggressive). After my PET/PEM scan to determine any mets, I developed 3 spots on my skin that appeared to look like melanoma. That kind of cancer is not non-aggressive The one on my abdomen wasn't there at the time of diagnosis of my breast cancer but after the PET scan. I am using a variety of alternative supplements including: Protocel, Paw Paw, Graviola and Curcumin. I switched from Protocel 23 to 50 after finding the melanoma. I've applied protocel topically to the growths and they have gone away but not completely. The conventional medical community has nothing to offer but surgery, radiation (LOL) and chemo. My breast cancer started about the time I had extensive mammogramming procedures over 5 years ago. To the reader who cautioned others to seek conventional medical help... I will let you know if I survive.

Please, please consider, if you have breast issues - fibrocyctic, tumors, tenderness - taking Iodoral (iodine tablets) along with Vitamin C & Selenium, and the other vitamins described at breastcancerchoices.org. I had fibro and my Dr. was concerned about cancer (family history. ) I did a little research, found this site, followed the protocol (I did experience some of the detox, and they were a bit alarming) and now have the best breasts I've had since I was 16! (And I'm 50... ) Iodine deficiency is causing major breast and even uterine issues, and NO doctor will tell you - they say it's unsafe to take extra iodine! Try it, it really may save your life.

Linda from Amsterdam is absolutely right. Go to a dermatologist. Even pathologists mistake a benign spot for melanoma and making sure and treating it is essential Too serious to fool around with home remedies!
