quoted Cuttlefish from the where did you surf today thread, just stumbled upon this where you said you have been using an ointment that burns / kills cancer cells.

please tell me, are you better?
Does it work?
does the medical profession recognise this stuff as a possible cure or hoax?

Got "black salve" skin cancer brew turning a spot just above my achilles into a fri66in volcano waiting to erupt it's cancerous roots out so not too sure about water time unless its good.
Here's a link to the stuff I'm talking about if anyone out there wants to try it rather than having docs freeze/cut it out...

For Sunshine coasters there's a guy selling at it at Noosa farmers market cheaper than you can find on the net.
See the Paul the "Neem man" for a testemonial.

What an absolute farce.

Surely no one would believe that ... no?

"if you take on an empty stomach and it will make your stomach burn"

You would think, that since the stomach is highly acidic, the more likely location of the burn would be in the mouth, pharnyx and eosophagus which unlike the stomach, do not have mechanisms to neutralize acidity...

Haven't bothered to look at that link but I know they've been using an ointment on the skin spot for some time now. My boss in Sydney had it on his NN.
A specialist I see up here was talking about it or something similar during my last visit.
Me? I'd just rather thay ice them off on the spot. All gone in two weeks.

Not quite sure what you're talking about exactly, but there are creams or ointments for NMSC's that actually do work - like Iquimod (excuse the spelling ) - but only for NMSC's. Not that the link's product does work, but it's especially ludicrous to suggest it cures malignant cancer etc .. ha

If you have a skin cancer there is just as much chance of it being removed by application of a cream these days then by icing off or cutting out.

BCC's, non-melanoma skin cancers, related spots, all being treated with a cream these days. By GP mum-in-law has got rid of a few by simply applying a cream, prescribed by a specialist.

But it's a fully researched piece of work, not some new age hocus pocus.

Is the ointment made out of snake oil sold by an ex-used car salesman?

For the past year or so I've been accompanying a friend who has MS- he's basically immobile from the neck down, hence my assistance with his visits - to RPH Skin Cancer Centre, where he's been succesfully treated for a large - dinner plate size - melanoma on his back with a topical cream. This cream has been previously used to treat warts, and the discovery of it's efficacy in treating recurring melanomas, which have not responded to all other treatments, was made by his Dr. Diona Damien , associate professor at the clinic. This break through discovery made news late last year.
Not hocus pocus but the good oil Capt.
My friend is thankfully clear of life threatening melanoma thanks to this cream. And I must add, what a cruel irony for a guy who's been confined to a wheelchair with that hideous affliction - MS - and hasn't seen sunlight much for the past 20 odd years - to develop skin cancer from possibly a few burnings in his early teens.

So, in answer to this threads question? Yes. There is a cream to treat some types of skin cancer.

If anyone bothered to read the link, that oitment (which is what the OP was alluding) is not just useless, but harmful. And it referred to cancers in general, not solely skin.

The creams they use these days (only for pretty much benign lesions) are 5-flurouracul and Imquimod.
