Ted's Mole Theory
Posted by Bob (USA) on 10/06/2007

Ted, I am intrigued by your theory that moles are fungi protected by melanin. It makes sense that they grow and shrink and puff out! I recently burned one off in less than a day of using garlic clove mixed with ACV. I also used black walnut tincture for 5 days prior with no noticeable results. After less than a day I pulled the round bandaid off and it was blistered so I stopped doing anything. I poked it with a pin and realized it wasn't attached. I squeezed pus out for a day and then it dried up and rubbed off quite easily in four days, and the remaining scab five days later. I had some success with castor oil and baking soda on different moles but they came back. I think it's different for everyone and every mole because possibly every mole is a different fungus protected by melanin so it makes sense that they can't be destroyed all the same way! Also, I am very lethargic and have swollen lymph nodes and tonsil cruddies as well as over 350 moles all over my body so it makes sense that I'm full of viruses or funguses!!! Any good foods to eat? Goji? Garlic? Onion? Potassium rich foods? I heard that warts and moles can be a sign of potassium deficiency, but some people think moles are just the hangy dark ones so I'm not sure if they meant flat ones as well. Have you heard anything on this? Once again I'm very intrigued by your ideas please update me on any helpful information.

Horse Tail Hair

My husband had a mole in the center of his forehead. It bothered him that he looked like a unicorn. So I remembered when I was a little girl that I used to hear my Grandma speak of different remedies, for different ailments. The one that I never really believed was the one about the horse hair to remove a mole. So one day my husband and I was out and about and seen a man on a horse. I asked him could I have a piece of his horse's tail hair. He knew immediately what I wanted with it. My husband said he wouldn't believe it until he seen it. So once we arrived home I tied the hair around the mole. Every morning after, I would awake before he would to see the results. 3 days later I noticed the mole and the hair was gone! I told my husband to pay extra attention to his face when he went to wash up. When he realized the mole was gone he was so excited.
Apple Cider Vinegar and Garlic

I was sceptical but desperate to get rid of a large mole just below my collar bone. I googled and found this site and decided to give it a try. I used a mixture of garlic and ACV (slicing the garlic and leaving the slices in the ACV and changing the garlic twice a day). It took four days to dry out the mole, which I then picked off (a little too early perhaps). The skin around the mole did get burnt and I dont think this can really be helped, but I healed the area using Vit E oil and antiseptic cream. There is now only a small scar, but my parter also has a scar after having a mole surgically removed some years ago so I think that is invitable and I would rather the scar then the mole. I am working on a second one now! Thanks so much for this site and your suggestions!
Garlic, Apple Cider Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide

After successfully using this site to cure a sinus and cough problem that I cured with an ACV, garlic & oregano oil, tea in three days, I decided to take a crusty mole the size of my small finger nail off my upper back. I have had this mole for about twenty years and did not bother it much because I was told by my great grandmother when I was a small child that if you messed with a mole you could bleed to death...lol. I scraped it and started alternating ACV, h202 throughout the day and a paste of ACV and crushed garlic that I applied at night. I was impatient and picked at it when it started to dry out. It has taken a week but it has slowly come off. leaving a pink spot where there was once a scary looking black & grey mass. There is still one speck left in the very center and that should be off in a day or two. I was planning to have it removed before the summer now there is no need. I did not tape or put a bandage on it so I had no redness. At night I applied the ACV & garlic paste and let it air dry on the mole. I slept on my stomach. In the morning I peeled of the dried acv & garlic and wiped it clean with h202.
My remedy: I applied ACV and H202 alternately with a cotton pad throughout the day.
paste of crushed garlic and ACV applied directly on the mole at night. Remove with cotton soaked with H202 in morning.
one week later fresh pink skin where there was once a big ugly mole!

Moles - for Bernadette in London: I think the H2O2 is all you need to get rid of the mole and probably what did the job on your first one. I've taken off several just by applying and scraping with a Q-TIP wet with the h2o2 morning and night for a week or so.

I have a number of moles. Three weeks ago I was excited to find possible home remedies within your site. (My GP's refused to get them removed as the procedure would be considered cosmetic.) I started treating 3 of my moles with garlic immediately, (just a slither to cover them exactly) and cleaning with H2O2 6%. The largest one, which was on my face, took really well to the treatment. Within days, it flattened and went soft and black. The area surrounding became inflamed. I believe this is not due to contact with the garlic, H2O2, plasters or micropore. It is simply the area reacting to what is going on. I then found out that you should only do one mole at a time (Immune system) so I kept up treating the one on my face and 'just' put ACV on 2 of the others (probably a mistake.) Anyway the one on my face started to form a yellow crust around the edges and 'dry out'. I did feel a bit sick for two days as I think my body was absorbing and processing the contents. On the 10th day it came off while I was cleaning it with H2O2. (It was just like a thick piece of dead skin) It is now day 17 and the skin is slightly pink and VERY tender. There is no crater though and I think this is because I didn't pick it at all. I let it do its thing and grow skin underneath. (VERY important.) However I think that a new mole maybe growing again! Nonetheless I am keeping it clean (H2O2), smothering it in aloe vera gel and keeping it covered. The problem is with the other moles! Once the one on my face fell off, I started to treat one on my inner thigh. It seemed to grow with the garlic treatment so I stuck to ACV. Well I had to stop that as the top came off twice, the mole has got flatter but bigger and turned yellow and the skin around it was coming off and underneath was black! I just went to my GP because I was worried it had turned cancerous or gangrenous. Luckily he said it just looks like an infection. Am now on antibiotics and painkillers (and feel such a fool.) I guess I was lucky with the one on my face. Notably the other mole I was treating I switched to smothering it in aloe vera gel and keeping it covered while I started on my thigh. It seems to be diminishing very slowly. I think this is the safest way to treat moles. Clean with H2O2 and smother with Aloe Vera gel and keep covered. It is a much slower process but much more gentle. If you saw the mess my thigh is in you would agree. My theory is moles might be caused by different things and therefore react differently to treatments. They also react differently depending on the type of body tissue they are in to be honest I do not know why I have an infection. Throughout my treatment process I have been taking 2tsp ACV in 1/2 pt filtered water daily, along with 3 cloves chopped raw garlic daily , and 1000mg Vit C (As ascorbic acid) up to 5 times a day. I also have kept the sites and everything I used very clean.
The String Method

My friend (an RN) removed a large mole on my back by tying cotton thread around it and slowly cutting off it's blood flow. She'd tie a new thread, slightly tighter, every few days or so. After three weeks it came off. This was absolutely painless, the only thing that bothered me was my clothing rubbing on it so I kept a band-aid over it. It was quite large and got bigger and turned purple as it died. I'm sure a smaller mole would come off in less time.
