Eggplant and White Vinegar
Posted by Nida (Fresno, Ca, USA) on 10/07/2012
I tried the eggplant and apple cider vinegar concoction for skin conditions I suspected were melanomas. One of the scars I treated with the concoction was a kelloid from a surgery I had about 30 years ago to remove an infected fibrocystic cyst on my stomach about two inches from my belly button and around my waistline. The kelloid started getting itchy and an even ugly scar was developing on top of the old scar. I started the daily treatment on September 12 up to this writing, October 6, 2012. My question is this, how long should I do this and how do I know that what I treated was in fact the deadly melanoma because I read a lot of strong warnings of the deadly melanoma. Thank you for any help or clarification!
Interferon
Posted by Bryan (Sudbury, Ontario, Canada) on 09/02/2012
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!

Surgery
Posted by Robert (Tuscaloosa, Alabama) on 06/25/2011
My brother had a large growth on his belly next to his navel and if he bumped it on something it bleed alot. I tried for a long time to have him go to the doctor about it but he did not go. However, when he did go they found that the growth was melanoma and he was sent to the surgen. The growth was removed along with one of his limpth nods which had no melanoma in it. He was told to come back for additional treament which he chose not to do. Now he has three lumps that came up on his back.... So I guess the melanoma is spreading. Is there anything that he can do now since he is in the situation that he is in.

Risks of Self-Treating Melanoma

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!

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.

My sister found out about mebendazole, which does something to a melanoma gene so the immunesystem kills it. Anyone who has experience with it?
Weedoil is too expensive for too little, 30 euro per gram, gcmaf is also vey expensive and no testimonials found on the internet except on the gcmaf website.

Interferon
Posted by Flame80 (Fullerton, Ca, Us) on 01/07/2012
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?
Bloodroot

Hi, I've been dealing with a nasty-looking melanoma (won't go into details here) I was trying to treat first with Bentonite clay which drew out the infection & then putting a slice of eggplant on it & leaving overnight. Infection is gone but it doesn't seem to be getting better. Now ready to try the bloodroot paste. Wondering if I can make my own? Any suggestions?

Essiac Tea
Posted by Melanoma Ma (Staten Island, Ny) on 03/22/2011
I just purchased the Essiac Concentrated Liquid for a Melanoma on my index finger that the Oncologist wants to cut off. I want to try this before the surgery, but I am wondering if I bought the right one and what is the right way to use it? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. And thank you for your post, your post led me to this.

Hi Melanoma Ma - someone whose education and words of wisdom I take seriously may suggest that you brew up the four herbs of Essiac tea and, in addition to ingesting the tea, use the sludge on your finger; check out herbalhealer for some good (in my belief) information! Best wishes, Linda
General Feedback

Hello,.
Your site is very interesting to me , I have recently found a spot on the back of my thigh that appears to be cancer to me..
Is there anyone who has used this concoction to rid themselves of the same.(melanoma).
I am having an issue going to a dr., if I am correct it will be surgery, chemo(poison) introduced to my system..
The reason I have for issues are drs. Are to eager to put poison in you without good prospects, my father died of non hodgkins lymphoma, when it was discovered it was stage iv. The oncologist convinced him it would give him 6 -10 months, so facing death he elected for the treatment, the first leg did not work and then periontitis, he lasted 1 month.
My problem is I don't wnt to be an oncologists testing ground for his database of what doesn't work, the medical community gets to "practice", attorneys "practice".
I have spoken with friends in medical field and all say witchcraft, and danger abounds, I expected this kind of answer, what, the medical community can only accept what they are taught, there was interesting feedback being you don't know what it will affect that doesn't need to be messed with..
Soon I will need to see a dr., should i get a diagnosis first, if a biopsy is decided on don't they generally remove at the time, and if thereis possible lymph node invasion,they will remove those as well at the time. Should i then consider my own course of action? I believe our health care system makes money by not trying to cure. Should i seek remedies overseas if there is any.
I know once you have cancer, you always have it, 5 years seems the best results for any except pancreatic cancer..
I don't know what to do, yes I am very worried, is life over at 50.

Hi, I have what appears to be Melanoma under one toenail. How many nights did you do this for and how many hours per day? Was it on a toenail or after the nail was removed? Was yours diagnosed by a Dr? Please tell me anything else you can that may help me. I have an appointment booked at the Drs in 2 days.
