Skin Cancer - Cansema, Can-X, Colloidal/Ionic Silver

How It Works

The Cansema Black Topical Salve, which contains zinc chloride and the herb bloodroot, among other substances, is used for treating skin cancers, melanomas and tumors. There is no herb with such a long history of success treating cancer as bloodroot.

Cansema Black Topical Salve

Zinc chloride is "a highly antiseptic caustic that is somewhat more readily absorbed by malignant tissue than by normal tissue, though it is often reactive with healthy as well as morbid tissue." "... zinc chloride (in a liquid form at room temperature), while in the presence of certain herbal combinations at known concentration ranges, has strong cancer-killing properties."

Using bloodroot for treating skin cancer dates back to the mid-1800s. "Bloodroot has been used historically in numerous topical preparations for the treatment of various skin cancers, and also for sores, warts, eczema, and other dermal & epidermal problems."

According to the vendor's own web page: "The current ingredients are:
zinc chloride (Cl2Zn),
NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, from Larrea mexicata), (I think the correct spelling is: nordihydroguaiaretic acid)
sanguinaria [or bloodroot] (Sanguinaria canadensis);
galangal root (Alpinia officinarium) or ginger root (Zingiber officinale);
graviola leaf (Annona muricata),
bitter melon seed (Momordica charantia), and
glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist)."

Larrea mexicana (the correct spelling) is also known as Larrea tridentata, or one of the varieties of chapparel. Chapparel in tea form can also be used as a skin cancer treatment. Chapparel is toxic in doses that are too high, so it is best to take it as part of a herbal complex such as Cansema.

For those who want more detailed information about the formula, please send me an email and include your telephone number and include the word "Cansema" in your Subject line.

Warning: Most skin cancer salves contain bloodroot. However, sometimes you hear that products containing bloodroot can safely be taken internally in small doses. Most alternative cancer experts agree that bloodroot products should not be taken internally. I strongly agree. Until there is further research, I do not recommend any skin cancer product containing bloodroot be taken internally, not even in small doses. There are plenty of natural treatments for internal cancers that are known to be safe, meaning there is no reason to experiment on yourself with treatments known to be dangerous when taken internally. In short, do not take any cancer salve internally.

At the current time, the only way to get the official Cansema formula is the Tumorx website or from Australia, which ships to the U.S. See the links below. It is critical to see the Photo Testimonials on the Tumorx site.

Another brand to consider is Can-X, out of Canada. I repeat, a person should not take any product with bloodroot internally. Thus, I absolutely do not endorse the tablets of this company for internal use!! I only endorse their salve for EXTERNAL use only.

Colloidal Silver

Another alternative cancer treatment for skin cancer that is frequently mentioned is colloidal silver. It can be purchased from many vendors. I recommend that you make it yourself (see the Bob Beck Protocol article) for internal use. For external use, get the silver-chloride from Essense of Life:

I can tell you that the two things to look for are purity of silver and you want the smallest bits of silver possible. The reason is that the smaller the bits of silver, the more surface area of silver touches the cancer cells and the more surface area the better. This is because the effect of silver is electrical and the more surface area the more electrical effect.

Supercharging This Treatment

Superficial skin cancer should be easy to treat with the products I mention above. However, for those with more severe skin cancer, which goes deep beneath the skin, a complete treatment plan should be devised using one of the complete treatment protocol articles.

An alternative cancer treatment should be a complete treatment protocol. Do NOT forget to study the complete treatment protocol for Stage I, II and III cancer patients and the complete treatment protocol for Stage IV cancer patients:
