History of Herbal Treatment for
Cancer
External Treatment
for Cancer Compiled Excerpts from Trustworthy and Forthright web
sites
The external treatment of cancer with escharotic salves
actually seeks out and destroys cancer cells. Escharotic pastes and salves
are caustic compounds that are applied externally on the skin. These are
directly applied over the affected area and will erode the tissue to
eventually destroy and remove the underlying tumor.
The direct
application of herbs and herbal juices to tumors has been practiced in
many different traditions and cultures far back into antiquity. It is
known that the Native Americans commonly applied poultices of roasted
onions and bloodroot as well as other substances, which eroded the skin to
draw out cancers, tumors and other undesirable materials. These formulas
were admired and used by medical doctors during the 18th century in
Europe.
Other examples of topical application of herbs and their
expressed juice are the use of chelidonium or dandelion latex to remove
warts and other excrescences. The Chinese have a tradition of breaking
open the seed of brucea javonica and taping directly over warts and
excrescences to stimulate their dissolution. The treatment of breast
cancer particularly through the use of dandelion latex was described as a
folk remedy by the Chinese.
In the mid nineteenth century, Samuel Thompson, a leader
of one of the most popular movements of natural healing based primarily on
the use of Native American herbs, reported the successful treatment of
breast cancer. This was done by using a paste of thickened decoction of
red clover blossoms. It was repeatedly and thickly applied to the woman's
breast and covered over with a protective bandage. After a short time the
cancer literally sloughed off through the surface of the skin, leaving a
shallow crater. It is presumed that if this case is at all similar to
dozens that I have seen or heard of, that this healed over without any
complications.
Skin Cancer - Black Salve Around the
mid-nineteenth century, Native American herbs became very popular in
Europe and a Dr. J.W. Fell, working at Middlesex Hospital in London
developed a paste made of bloodroot, zinc chloride, flour, and water. This
was directly applied as a paste to a malignant growth and generally
destroyed the tumor within two to four weeks.
|
Bloodroot | Bloodroot
(Sanguinarea canadensis) is one of the most beautiful eastern North
American woodland herbs and was commonly used to treat cancer by the
Native Americans. Since that time it has been identified as a primary
ingredient in most escharotic salves and pastes, as these are called, used
for the treatment of cancer. The alkaloid, sanguinarine has been indeed
found to possess powerful anti-cancer properties.
The Eclectics
medical doctors of the 19th century, especially Dr. Eli Jones, specialized
in the treatment of cancer emphasizing internal treatment and lifestyle
changes but evidently used escharotic salves and ointments with success.
The late Dr. Raymond Christopher created a Black Ointment drawing salve
that contained potent anti-cancer herbs such as poke root and black walnut
bark. Many consider this to be only for drawing out slivers and such
embedded in the flesh, but in fact, the salve is also used for drawing out
cancers and tumors. In recent times various formulas for the salve has
been sold or given away by various clandestine individuals who are mostly
motivated by the desire to help provide patients with a less invasive and
harmful method to remove cancers from various parts of the
body.
One of the most startling facts is that the use of
escharotics has been and continues to be an accepted and recognized
medical procedure. A medical text entitled Chemosurgery: Microscopically
controlled Surgery for Skin Cancer was written by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs,
B.Sc., M.D. and last published by Charles Thomas in 1978. It uses the same
basic escharotic paste used by Eli Jones, Hoxsey, and others for
application for topical application for the removal of various cancers,
molls, warts and other growths and excrescences. Dr. Mohs was clinical
Professor of Surgery at the University of Wisconsin Medical
School
However, of the modern researchers, the two most respected
and well-known authorities in the use of this approach were Dr. J.
Weldon Fell and Frederic E. Mohs, MD, both of the
United States.
Fell was a faculty member of New York University and
later was one of the founders of the New York Academy of Medicine. In the
early 1850s, he moved to London and built up a very successful cancer
treatment practice based on escharotic therapy using bloodroot
(Sanguinaria canadensis) as the herbal base. He published his
results
|
Frederic
Mohs | extensively. We know
today that the alkaloids in bloodroot do indeed have a strong anti-tumor
effect.
Frederic Mohs called his approach chemosurgery and used a
fixative paste. His was more an integrative approach that combined the use
of the escharotic paste with surgical tumor removal and analysis, rather
than allowing for the sloughing off of the eschar. His contribution is
immense as he put the procedure on a very sound, scientific footing, with
a tremendous amount of research that spanned decades. The soundness
of his approach was underscored in a 1990 report that stated he had a
verifiable and documented 99% success rate in his treatment of skin
cancers!
As recently as the late 1960's Vipont pharmaceuticals
under the name of Vipont Chemical Co. of Fort Collins, Colorado, was
formed by a rodeo cowboy named Howard McCrorey and two friends
specifically to research and develop the salve for FDA approval. At one
point they informally sent it off to an investigator of Mayo clinic to be
tested for its efficacy in treating cancer. The investigator sent back two
letters stating he had not tested anything that even came close to the
anti-tumor activity of the salve.
In order to keep the company
viable they performed various contract work. As a result they brought a
toothpaste to market called Viadent which utilized the ingredients of
their salve to maintain dental hygiene and prevent and cure periodontal
disease. It was and still is very effective and the company was eventually
bought up by Colgate who is the manufacturer of Viadent.
Besides
its topical use, there is a tradition of internal use for cancer and all
infectious and inflammatory diseases. Vipont conducted an LD/50 toxicity
study of the salve for internal use. It was reported that the LD/50 was
around 700mg per kilogram of body weight. Since the recommended dose for
internal use is no greater than 250mg, at this level toxicity is very low.
However, it should never be taken on an empty stomach as it can be too
irritating. The salve can be taken in a 00-sized gelatin capsule as it is
taken each day.
Vipont and company has documented the use of the
salve for a wide variety of problems, ranging from the removal of warts,
moles and skin cancers to other internal cancers, colds, eye problems
(diluted in a saline solution, one part salve to 1000 parts water), staff
infections, impotency, skin diseases, gastrointestinal inflammations and
other conditions too numerous to list. One representative who reported
this story and was on the Board of Directors of Vipont Chemical Company,
Clark Bigham stated that "my inclination is to try it for just about any
known condition other than stomach ulcers and auto-immune
diseases." Source: www.PlanetHerbs.com
What
studies have been done by modern medicine to demonstrate that these Salves
are a proven skin cancer treatment system?
"In the orthodox
community this question refers to a "longitudinal, peer-reviewed,
double-blind study with carefully monitored control groups, using strict
statistics measures..." bla, bla, bla, bla. We believe in the time-honored
tradition of empiricism. It is the fundamental principle underlying the
development of homeopathic, naturopathic, and herbalist formulas, even
entire volumes of formularies (pharmacopoeia), not to mention the healing
techniques of dozens of other modalities. A formula is proven to be
effective and safe, in our minds, when it has been tested upon thousands
of individuals over a period in excess of one century (that's 100 years)
and has been found to repeatedly, thousands of times over, cure legions of
patients with little or no side effects. Such is the history of
escharotics, the illustrious herbal tradition from whose roots
Cansema has sprung. It is the foundation of our South American
medical herb formulas, and virtually all herb-based
products.
The pecularities of modern food and drug law, based as
they are on 19th century "atomist" theories on pharmacology, have
totally turned the free market on its head - and this is something most
people either don't know, or don't take the time to figure out.
The
simple fact is, escharotic preparations are not sufficiently proprietary
for anyone to get a useful patent on them. No drug company on earth is
interested in a compound if they can't get an enforceable patent on it.
And why? Because no drug company on earth ---- no, make that no
intelligent human being on earth -- would ever invest the $100 million
plus it takes to get "drug approval" in the U.S. and other major Western
countries without the reasonable assurance a patent provides THAT THEIR
INVESTMENT WOULD BE PROTECTED FROM THE ENCROACHMENT OF
COMPETITORS!
The fact is, medicine today -- whether you live in
Perth, Edinburgh, Nassau, or Los Angeles, is far more about the dynamics
of making money, than it is about doing what is best for the patient. Only
when you can clearly view this industry from the inside does the intensity
of this concept become so solidified and crystal clear that you would no
more question it than you would think to doubt the curvature of the
Earth.
Like the Mother Goose story about the Emperor who wore no
clothes, the masses of those living in Western society live behind the
veneer. Only when one stands back and innocently looks at the structure of
modern health care for what it is -- only when one takes the time to
follow the money trail, can you understand why the very best products on
the market have no chance of becoming mainstream if the most powerful
interests in health care cannot figure out a way of cornering the market.
It can be a "cornering" of short duration (a patent in the U.S., for
instance, lasts 17 years), but it must be a turf that can be legally
protected, with artificially high margins, for at pre-calculated period of
high, sustained profitabilit." Source: http://altcancer.com/
"Over
the past decades, hundreds of caring, concerned, and conscientious
alternative healers have been jailed and abused like common criminals for
the "crime" of curing people of life-threatening diseases in an
"unapproved" manner by heavy-handed government agents who swoop down on
clinics with drawn guns, flax jackets, and Gestapo manners. All the while,
these same agents and agencies posture themselves before TV cameras and
the public under the ludicrous pretense of being servants of the people
and protectors of the common good.
The medico-drug cartel was
summed up by J.W Hodge, M.D., of Niagara Falls, N.Y., in these
words: 'The medical monopoly or medical trust,
euphemistically called the American Medical Association, is not merely the
meanest monopoly ever organized, but the most arrogant, dangerous and
despotic organization which ever managed a free people in this or any
other age. Any and all methods of healing the sick by means of safe,
simple and natural remedies are sure to be assailed and denounced by the
arrogant leaders of the AMA doctors' trust as fakes, frauds and humbugs
Every practioner of the healing art who does not ally himself with the
medical trust is denounced as a 'dangerous quack' and impostor by the
predatory trust doctors. Every sanitarian who attempts to restore the sick
to a state of health by natural means without resort to the knife or
poisonous drugs, disease imparting serums, deadly toxins or vaccines, is
at once pounced upon by these medical tyrants and fanatics, bitterly
denounced, vilified and persecuted to the fullest extent.'" Source:

More recent FDA and TGA activities regarding
Cansema:
In The
US Altcancer.com: Website
Closed, Owners Detained, Products Seized by
FDA
Cansema is the latest, most widely used
topically applied skin cancer ointment: it is the most advanced salve of
its kind, belonging to a class of compounds known as "escharotics."
Thousands of individuals and physicians from around the world have used
the product, with no results only in cases where the cancer was
misdiagnosed (i.e. there was really no cancer to begin with). Empirical
case studies to date show that it has successfully removed (cured) every
malignant carcinoma, adenocarcinoma (i.e. breast cancer), and even
melanoma, to which it has been applied.
The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, heavily populated by former (and future)
pharmaceutical-industry executives, has a long history of aggressively
attempting to close down businesses that produce holistic healthcare
products for cancer and other serious illnesses, even if (especially if)
the products work. This often involves raiding, arresting, prosecuting,
and imprisoning the owners of the companies. Terrorist raids have become
the new cure-all for alternative cancer remedies.

Greg
Caton | On September 17th, 2003
the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) suspended most activities at the
Alpha Omega Labs fulfillment center in Louisiana (Makers of Cansema) and
arrested owner and herbalist, Greg Caton. In all, Greg Caton estimates,
the FDA took $250,000 worth of materials and $400,000 worth of buildings.
This doesn’t include what he lost in the distress sale of Preservx and the
one building he sold, his legal fees—which amounted to $50,000 for the
criminal charges alone—or the ongoing revenue from Preservx and Alpha
Omega. Source:

world, from people who had used Alpha Omega’s products, protesting what
had happened. Read The Story: http://health.centreforce.com/health/fdapanacea.html
“The medical definition of "cure" is the
non-reoccurence of pathology within five years after treatment. By the

The
new TGA amendment Bill, August 17, 2005 will make the penalties so
prohibitive that it will be almost impossible to bring to market any
herbal remedy or supplement unless it is backed by a million dollar
trials, and even then it will be swept under the carpet at the
NHMRC. Source: http://www.ahf-au.bigpondhosting.com/tga.laws.htm
“Surely
we, as adults, have the right to choose the type of healthcare treatment
available to us without the government unilaterally eliminating our
options. Isn’t it time for the FDA to heed what the patient at one
alternative cancer clinic said to them during a raid? “We’re all adults
here, making free-will choices. Why don’t you get out of here and leave us
alone?”
Aside from restricting our healthcare choices, what
justifies the FDA’s gestapo/KGB tactics in smashing, intimidating,
demoralizing, and bankrupting its targets, even before a trial to
determine their guilt or innocence? What justifies seizing their assets,
impounding their computers and business records, confiscating their
personal papers and effects, destroying their products and ingredients,
and holding them in prison for extended periods? Very few people can do
what the individuals described here have done. It takes tremendous
initiative to come up with a product that works, make it available
commercially, and assume the risks of being put out of business and
perhaps imprisoned.
Perhaps most important, these individuals have
resisted the temptation to get rich on other people’s suffering, which
can’t be said of the pharmaceutical industry. They could have made much
more money and put enough away to cover their eventual ruinous legal
expenses—but they didn’t. Shouldn’t we be encouraging and rewarding people
like this rather than persecuting them and destroying their lives?

ALDARA – THE SKIN CANCER “CURE”
THAT CAN KILL
"Aldara. The chemical used in this widely-sold
drug has been known since 1986 to cause cancer. It is so
dangerous that the American Cancer Society, The National Cancer Institute
and others have determined it is a carcinogen, and have placed it on their
lists of most hazardous chemicals. It has even been
listed as a laboratory chemical hazard by the US Occupational Safety
Health Agency. Yet, doctors worldwide are prescribing it,
willy-nilly, to “cure” skin cancers, even though there are safe
vegetable-based creams and other proven remedies."

TGA
Regulating Drugs
"

Eve
Hillary | Like its U.S. FDA
counterpart, the TGA regulates and approves drugs. Ten years ago in 1994
there were 157.5 million prescriptions issued annually. That figure has
now increased exponentially as hundreds of new drugs have come on line. It
would be reasonable to assume that a large part of the huge modern TGA
building in Canberra would be devoted to ensuring public safety through
monitoring of potent pharmaceutical drugs. However more oversight
committees and manpower is devoted to herbs and vitamins. Why? A quick
overview of just one drug regulating example will yield some disturbing
answers and raise even more questions."
"It is my intention to
reveal the fact that trans-national pharmaceutical corporations have
already assumed the role of government at least where health care is
concerned. I intend to highlight what steps have already been taken by
corporate interests to move Australia and New Zealand toward CODEX and
toward international corporate governance in the Asia Pacific region. This
being true, it would alter the basic premise and agreement which
Australian governance was founded upon – Democracy. This agreement cannot
be altered except with the informed consent of the majority and only after
public debate and referendum. It is my educated guess that most
Australians want democracy for themselves and that they would want to
preserve it for future generations. It is my guess that Australians do not
want to be governed by trans-national corporations. It is my intention to
allow these issues to be debated, understood and corrected by the
electors, the only legitimate proprietors of government at this
time. Eve Hillary is a freelance medical writer and research analyst

"Everything you hear throughout your life
is not based on who has the most truth, it is based on who has the most
money. If you haven't figured that out by now, you better figure it out
real quick. "
"Ask your self this questions: "When was
the last time orthodox medicine used their massive profits to find a cure
for a disease?" When was the last time a cure for disease was found that
used prescription drugs? If you said polio, you would be wrong. Polio was
cured by a medical doctor in the 1940s, but the cure was suppressed
because he used a form of Vitamin C, which drug companies could not
patent."
"Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone found
a cure for cancer? You probably think that the person finding the cure
would be featured on every television show in America and would win a
Nobel Prize in medicine. Such a person would become both famous and rich
overnight. Dream on."
"Some people erroneously think that medical
doctors do not use the best alternative cancer treatments because the
doctors do not know which treatments are really effective. While medical
schools turn doctors into nothing but drug salesmen, that is not why
medical doctors do not use natural substances in the treatment of disease.
Medical doctors know how to read. But they also know that if they used
a single one of these alternative cancer treatments on a single cancer
patient, they would risk losing their license and could go to jail!!
"
"The suppression of truth by Big Medicine is why this website,
and many other websites, exist. Nothing is sold from this website, not
even information. The major purpose of this website is to make information
about alternative cancer treatments free and available to the public so
that more and more people know which alternative cancer treatments are the
strongest. Why is this important? Because whether you have cancer or
not, knowing all of your options, and not just the most profitable options
that orthodox medicine will force you to take, could save you a lot of
pain and possibly your life. " Source:
