Cansema Salve with Lugol's Iodine Cansema Salve with Lugol's Iodine

(22 g.)
(120 g.)
Main Cansema Page

August, 2008 Update: This variation, made with Lugol's Iodine, came in both the original 22 g. (net weight) container and a larger 102 g. (3.59 oz.) jar. The ingredient declaration for this product, along with the questions to many other questions about Cansema® is available in Cansema's FAQ section.

Like Cansema Salve - Deep Tissue, this product is a variation on our standard product, Cansema Black Topical Salve. Cansema Salve with Iodine is prepared using 20% Lugol's Iodine (which is itself 2% potassium iodine (KI); 1%, iodine crystal (I); 98%, distilled water). This product has the usual escharotic properties of the original Cansema Salve formula, with added iodine.
Cansema Salve with Iodine has a level of transdermic action that exceeds that of the original formula -- but not Cansema Salve - Deep Tissue. This product should not be used by those who are allergic or sensitive to iodine. Additionally, unless used by a knowledgeable naturopath or CAM physician, it should not be applied by an end user over an area of skin that exceeds a half inch squared (roughly two square centimeters).
As in the case of the Deep Tissue formula, we do not wish to infer that this product is necessarily better than the regular Cansema Black Salve product.
All other information, including User Instructions and the bulk of material in the Cansema FAQ pages will still apply.
Given the newness of this product, we invite any inquiries from any of our practitioners or end users.

To U.S. Users: Neither this product, nor the statements made herein, have been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. Therefore, this product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Comments to
Practitioners

This Cansema variation was first produced by one of our practicing physicians, while research was being conducted on Deep Tissue. One of our observations was that those who pretreat an area with Lugol's often have a shorter escharization phase.
There are several possible explanations for this -- theories which, at this point, rate as little more than educated guesses.
Potassium iodine (the chief component of Lugol's, after the distilled water) is an ingredient in a number of products in the alternative community. (We mention its use in the Hoxsey internal formula elsewhere.)
A better explanation may be developed in time.
