Despite over 100 years of use, evidenced by medical patents
at the U.S. Patent Office in the late 19th century, the
actual mechanics of escharotics
are still not fully understood. (A far deeper examination of
escharotics and their history can be found in Chapters 1 and 2
of the online book, Meditopia®).
By examining the results of blood work, we know that when
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.
For some reason, the proper escharotic formula will kill cancer
cells, while normal, healthy cells will only become mildly
irritated. When applied to normal tissue, the properly-prepared
escharotic is merely a "rubifacient." It will redden the skin
slightly and perhaps even produce a small amount of edema -- but
even that goes away after a couple of days.
Upon killing those cancer cells in which it has come into
direct contact (and even beyond, because of its penetrating
ability), a scab or "eschar" is formed. If analyzed, the
eschar will be found to contain not only the dead cancer
cells, but also some of the body's own antibodies, macrophages,
red blood cells -- the same kind of cellular debris one will
find in almost any healing scab formation.
The rest is clearly and quite graphically demonstrated in
our pictorial page on
Cansema®: the eschar falls out in time, like any scab;
a decavitation remains and heals over in a matter of a few days
to several weeks; and what remains is healthy tissue. Gone is
the cancer. For an extensive reading
of selected user experiences using Cansema® (including email
addresses, used by permission), visit our current Cansema® Testimonial page.
The original Cansema® formula
(ingredients, percentages, and manufacturing methods)
has evolved over time, largely to improve performance and minimize
pain management issues. The current ingredients of the
original formula are, listed in order by weight:
zinc chloride (ZnCl2), chapparal (Larrea mexicata leaf [contains active
principle: NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, 17% by weight)]),
graviola leaf extract (distilled water, Annona muricata),
oleander leaf extract (distilled water, Nerium oleander),
and bloodroot (sanguinaria root powder: Sanguinaria canadensis), and
glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist).
Functionally, all Cansema® perform similarly
with slight variations that are enumerated below.
Those who pick this product want the Original without the diluting
effect of any adjuvants.
The ingredient declaration for
Cansema® Salve with Iodine (tm)
is slightly different:
zinc chloride (ZnCl2), chapparal (Larrea mexicata leaf [contains active
principle: NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, 17% by weight)]),
glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist),
graviola leaf extract (distilled water, Annona muricata),
oleander leaf extract (distilled water, Nerium oleander),
Lugol's iodine (distilled water, potassium iodide, iodine
crystal), and bloodroot (sanguinaria root powder: Sanguinaria canadensis).
Functionally, this variation would provide a slightly higher
anti-microbial action than the Original, with the presence of the Lugol's iodine,
and may be recommended when the targeted cancer is in an ambient environment
that may subject it to a higher number of microbial pathogens.
The ingredient declaration for
Cansema® Salve - Deep Tissue (tm) is:
zinc chloride (ZnCl2), chapparal (Larrea mexicata leaf [contains active
principle: NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, 17% by weight)]),
glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist),
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide),
graviola leaf extract (distilled water, Annona muricata),
oleander leaf extract (distilled water, Nerium oleander),
and bloodroot (sanguinaria root powder: Sanguinaria canadensis).
The functional difference between "Deep Tissue" and the
Original Formula is the addition of the DMSO (15%) which acts
to provide creater transdermal penetration. This formula is used when
cells of the targeted cancer are not on the skin surface or in the
epidermal layers -- they reside deeper. Users should note that
the pain response on a deeper cancer growth can be significantly higher with
this formula. So whether pain management is achieved with a bioelectronic
device or orally-administered analgesics, thought should be given to
pain management prior to purchase.
The ingredient declaration for
Cansema® Salve for Cats, Dogs, and Horses (tm) is:
zinc chloride (ZnCl2), chapparal (Larrea mexicata leaf [contains active
principle: NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, 17% by weight)]),
glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist),
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide),
graviola leaf extract (distilled water, Annona muricata),
oleander leaf extract (distilled water, Nerium oleander),
emu oil, and bloodroot (sanguinaria root powder: Sanguinaria canadensis).
Functionally, this product is similar to
Cansema® Deep Tissue,
but is further enhanced for veterinary use with the additional of emu oil.
The ingredient declaration for
Cansema® with Aloe Vera Gel (tm) is:
Wild-crafted aloe vera (gel), calcium carbonate, zinc chloride (ZnCl2), chapparal (Larrea mexicata leaf [contains active
principle: NDGA (nordihydrogauaretic acid, 17% by weight)]),
glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist),
graviola leaf extract (distilled water, Annona muricata),
oleander leaf extract (distilled water, Nerium oleander),
bloodroot (sanguinaria root powder: Sanguinaria canadensis),
and methylcellulose. Functionally, this product is designed for those who want
a less aggressive escharotic -- trading reduced pain response for additional
applications spread out over a longer treatment period.
The ingredient declaration for
Cansema® Salve with Nuwais (tm) is:
Zinc chloride, chapparal (Larrea mexicata or divaricata), glycerine, and nuwais extract (nuwais, distilled water).
Functionally, this product is designed for treating
oral cancers.It is worth noting that
several web sites have taken the liberty of posting unusual,
even bizarre, guesses at what is in our formula (why would
they do that when we post it on our site?). One site (zetatalk.com)
even states
it contains
white flour, which isn't remotely true. If you want to know
what exists in any of our products, ask us. We'll tell you.
What exactly does escharotic mean?"Escharotic" is a classical medical
term used in dermatology that was coined long before we came into existence. The term
escharotic literally means "burn" (from the Greek). And the kind of
"scab" that results from the application of an escharotic is
traditionally referred to as an
eschar. "Escharotic" is a term applied to any compound which contains one or
more caustic agents that is capable of causing a chemical burn.
We dislike the term because it is somewhat of a misnomer to apply
this term of Cansema®, because our product, unlike chemotherapy
and radiation therapies, is highly discriminating in its action.
It creates the physical appearance of a "burn" after application to
cancerous tissue, but not to normal, healthy tissue.
In common usage,
"escharotic" and "eschar" are actually derogatory terms, in our opinion.
Many allopathic doctors in some
countries, most notably the U.S. and nations of the British
Commonwealth have no problems alarming users of Cansema® Salve
and similar products, telling them things like, "Oh my God! You're
using an escharotic? Don't you know that all you're doing is burning
your skin!?" Nothing could be further from
the truth, and, in fact, we deal with this fallacious issue
in the next question. However, at the same time,
we attempt to be as technically accurate in our work as possible.
Three of our products contain, in relatively small amounts, the mild
caustic "zinc chloride" (ZnCl2): Cansema® Salve, Cansema® Tonic I,
and to an even lesser extent, Bloodroot Paste. So technically,
this would potentially make them "escharotics." We use the terms
begrudgingly to be technically and historically accurate.
But very few caustic agents share our products' discriminating
property. A caustic agent capable of burning skin will usually
do so wherever you apply it. The clarification between our
"escharotics" and traditional caustic agents, capable of causing
burns wherever they're applied, is an important one.
No. In fact, it's provably false.Of course, we can't speak for
every escharotic preparation ever made, but when properly made
no escharotic is indiscriminate in its actions. When a
Cansema®
customer who is unsure of him or herself first starts using the
product, we sometimes ask them to apply the product on their forearm
for a few hours and see what happens. Just in case you don't
have the product handy and you don't want to kill a few hours
to find out, we'll just go ahead and tell you -- nothing. Specifically, when you
apply Cansema® to healthy tissue, it gets a little red and irritated
(all escharotic topicals are "rubifacient"), but no scab begins
to form. The response is entirely different when you apply
Cansema® to diagnosed skin cancer. You feel a much stronger
response, and within 24 hours you get a scab formation ("eschar").
Recently, we had a customer
send a link to a page at
cancersalves.com,
a site created by an author named, Ingrid Naiman. Although
Ms. Naiman is familiar with the subject of cancer salves in general,
and we've even read her book, she is light years behind us in
understanding escharotics. To-wit, we reprint the following false
comments from the Q & A section of her website, concerning a primary
caustic ingredient in most escharotic preparations,
zinc chloride (ZnCl2):
The simple fact is, Ms. Naiman
doesn't know what she's talking about. Yes, zinc chloride is a
caustic compound, and if you create an ointment or salve with a
high enough molar concentration, yes it can burn the skin -- depending
on the person. (This is how the word itself originally came
to be: "escharotic" is Greek for "burning.") But
the fact is that ALL PROPERLY MANUFACTURED ESCHAROTICS DISCRIMINATE
BETWEEN CANCEROUS AND HEALTHY TISSUE. (We'll get to minor exceptions
below.) To dramatically illustrate
our point, the pictures at right show one of our production people
working with raw zinc chloride right out of the container.
That's means 100% strength. We would never, ever recommend that
anyone else do this, by the way. But if zinc chloride were as severely caustic
as Ms. Naiman suggests, our worker would not be able to work in it
for hours at a time before washing it off. There are exceptions, of course,
the most notable being a high yeast count in the blood. You can
apply Cansema® to almost anywhere on the body and if a high yeast
blood count exists, you will see the emergence of what we call
"pinprick eschars" -- little pusculars, normally white or yellowish,
that come up. With discontinued use, these pusculars go away without
fully escharizing. Another point worth mentioning,
since it's mentioned at the above site, is one of scar tissue. Normally,
Cansema® Salve leaves little or no scar tissue. You can see this from
our many pictorial testimonials. But there are exceptions. Some people
have more significant scar tissue that takes the form of hyperpigmentation
or slight discoloration. But only in a small minority of cases is this
more noticeable than if the subject had gone ahead with a surgical
approach to remove their cancer. In one word, ignorance. This is not to say we don't think
licensed physicians are an important part of the process. We end up
telling many of our prospective customers to stop their guessing and
go to a doctor and get a qualified diagnosis before trying to fix
what they don't understand. In a perfect world, doctors would have enough
knowledge about escharotic preparations that they wouldn't put out
this kind of misinformation. In time, this will be the case.
For now it's not.Like most misinformation, this
one has a grain of truth. Cansema® contains zinc chloride, a mildly
caustic compound (see previous question), and in
a high enough concentration, it can chemically burn the skin -- just
like aspirin, taken in sufficiently quantity -- or any non-steroidal,
anti-inflammatory drug, by way of example, will burn holes in your
G.I. tract. In actual practice, Cansema® is very discriminatory in
its action. You can apply it to healthy tissue with great regularity,
and in vain, never get a scab. It can in some cases, but
not with great consistency. Besides,
that application is really "overkill," and we do
not recommend it for that use. Whereas Cansema® salve
is designed for one to three applications, a topical used
to treat warts and moles will normally require a longer
period of use for maximum effectiveness.
The best approach to
removing non-cancerous warts and moles is to take
the Cansema® capsules over a 30 day period,
plus our Bloodroot
Paste For Warts & Moles.
Both on our own bodies and in reports from our customers,
we have noticed that many growths, both warts and moles,
diminish in about a month with the taking of the internal
version, along with the Bloodroot Paste.
If not, why not?
If something works as well
as you indicate, wouldn't a major drug company
jump at the opportunity to get it approved,
and then manufacture and sell it?
The address the first question: Neither Cansema®, nor any other escharotic
product made over the last 150 years, has ever been approved by a "food
and drug" agency anywhere in the Western World.Read our
suppression page as well as our welcome page. What Cansema® has
going against it is it's cheap, fast, safe, effective, and
no one in the pharmaceutical industry can corner the market.
No one molecular structure ("empirical formula") is the
proprietary basis for why these compounds work, hence no
exclusivity for anyone. Ultimately, not even us.
Pity... On New Year's Day, 2,100 A.D. this product will still
not be approved by the FDA. Fortunately, you do not have
to be victimized by institutionalized politics, greed, stupidity,
and a worthless imprimatur that has no bearing on your ability
to get the product that does the job right, the first time,
every time, or your money back.
As to the second part of this question,
yes, many people are told by their ill-informed physician, "If this stuff really worked,
the drug companies would have snapped it up a long time ago." The flaw here is that people
are accustomed to thinking that the ability of a company to make
money is tied to its ability to find or develop products that
really work. After all, isn't that the way things work
in a capitalistic society? Aren't the best products the ones that
deliver on their promises - more so than the competition - and
aren't fortunes made by those who "invent the better mousetrap"?Yes, that's how it usually
works. It is certainly the way it ought to work. But
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 [price omitted]0 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 profitability.
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.
How many have we done? Not a damn one. And we proudly never
intend to, just like the U.S. FDA never intended to fulfill the
court's order to investigate the effectiveness of Hoxsey's
topical formula in the '50's, after hundreds of proven cancer
cures managed to stop the government's case against him dead
in its tracks.
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 was the foundation of our South American
medical herb formulas, and virtually all herb-based products
you see on our site.We address the long history
of effective escharotic use in Chapters 1 and 2 of our book,
Meditopia,
a free online read.
Although early escharotic formulas were patented (there
are six in the U.S. Patent Office) by individuals who
are now deceased, the current Cansema® formula
was created and subsequently refined over time by
Alpha Omega Labs founder, Greg Caton (see
bio).
The history of this healing modality, and the abundant proof of
its vigorous suppression over the last several hundred years
is explained in the first two chapters of his latest book,
Meditopia®.
We've been selling Cansema® since 1989 when we
started Alpha Omega's predecessor company, Applied
Botanical Research. In that time we have sold
thousands of Cansema® in its three forms.
Early on, we also created a company with Mr. Richard
Ross (now deceased) called Lenex Laboratories.
Under contract, we created an escharotic formula called
Herbveil 8, and internal versions called Lenex I
and Lenex II. These formulas are still available,
but we, the original creators, are no longer associated
with the current company. In 1991 we also did consulting
work for a company called Lifeline Sciences International,
Inc. ("LSII"), which created its own very effective escharotic
formula. That company is no longer in business, either. Our
Cansema® Salve is frequently
confused with a product sold out of Fort Collins, Colorado, called
Compound X. That product, similar to our own and priced
significantly higher in the U.S., was created by a Dr. Russell
Jordan, who used to run a business called MedConEx. We know the
exact formula of that product, but have no connection with the
people who now make and sell it.
First, the topical: if instructions are followed, there are
none that we know of. In theory, one could get secondary
infection by not maintaining proper hygiene at the site
of an eschar, particularly during the decavitation stage.
But in all these years we have never received even one report
of infection. (We always advise the liberal use of hydrogen
peroxide (food grade, 6% or under)
whenever there is doubt as to the possible exposure
of an eschared area to pathogenic microbes.)
There are greater risks associated with our internal
formulas. And we clearly state these in our hardcopy
literature. First of all, Cansema
Capsules & Tonic I contain
bloodroot, and one of the reasons we advise taking Cansema
internal products on a full-meal is that bloodroot is
an emetic. In sufficient quantities it can make you
nauseated, and at higher doses even make you vomit.
Like many medicinal herbs, bloodroot contains serious
phytopharmacological compounds. One of its 60 alkaloids
is sanguarene, and although it is cancer-killing in lower
doses, at high doses (in the 3 gram range), it is lethal.
This is why, with its "let's go shoot mice with elephant
guns" mentality, the U.S. FDA banned bloodroot for internal
use and you can't purchase it in health food stores.
Nonetheless, we keep bloodroot in our arsenal of
cancerolytic herbs because it contributes to the overall
effectiveness of our formulas.
Our advise to all users of our internal Cansema® formulas:
nausea isn't just a contraindication; it is
your body's way of telling you that you're
overdoing it. If you get nauseated taking any of our
products immediately back off. If you take our
minimum recommended dosage levels and you are one of those
rare individuals who continues to have problems, please call
us for a return and a money
back refund.
We know of no prescription medication which will create
contraindications when taken with any of our Cansema
products; however,
we must advise you not to take our products with any other
herbal formula that contains bloodroot, chaparral (any
of the species of the genus, "larrea"), or caustic
zinc chloride. If you do, you could experience
contraindications noted above, or worse...
Because if you don't, you are likely to experience the
emetic effects of the bloodroot and get nauseated.
(See previous coverage).
Of course. Ideally, we would prefer if you used
Cansema® in conjunction WITH your physician's
aid, but given conditions we've already discussed,
this is not always possible. Our advise is that
the best course of action you can take as a consumer
is to find a doctor you trust. Get his diagnosis.
Go for a second opinion if you have any lingering
doubts. Then, as an informed consumer, make your
therapeutic and support product choices
based what you feel is good for
you... not necessarily what is best for your doctor
and the local pharmacist. No one will make your own
health condition as high a priority as you will.
Always value the input of a good physician, but
ultimately the final choice must always be yours.
Your doctor's right. Bloodroot is dangerous -- but only if
taken in high doses. Take enough aspirin and you can cause
internal bleeding. In fact, 20,000 seniors in the U.S. alone
die from this problem every year. Does this mean you should
never take NSAID's (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)?
Of course not; that's silly.
Serious drugs, whether artificial or plant-based, require
some attention to proper dosage.
It can be. There are many factors that influence the
possibility of experiencing pain with Cansema.
Size of the tumor is an influencing factor: if the
size exceeds one inch (a little under 3 cm.) you will
probably want to keep ibuprofen, or a similar analgesic
on hand. If you DO experience some pain in taking
Cansema, expect the discomfort to last no more
than two to three days. Remember, part of what escharotics
do is initiate the body's own surgical procedures in
dealing with an invasion, foreign body (in this case
a dying neoplasm). Prepare yourself for this possibility.
We know of no such occurrence, although we know of no reason
why it wouldn't be theoretically possible. In our early days
we were more concerned that Cansema® Tonic I, which is
faster acting than the capsules, would kill tumors that
replaced organ linings and quickly create fisculas, but
that never happened, either. Apparently, the body's
mechanisms for removing necrotic tissue and replacing it
with healthy tissue during the healing stage works to
prevent either impeded circulation or life-threatening
fisculae.
In such a case, Cansema® becomes what herbalists call
a "rubifacient," making the skin red, irritated, and maybe
even edematous (fluid buildup). It goes away after a day
or two. There are cases, however, where small, white
"pinprick" scabs have formed, where no cancer was identifiable.
This is rare, but it can occur, and it is usually the result
of a excessive fungal or yeast condition in the body, sometimes
"candida albicans," but not always. The "pinpricks" go away
after a day or two, normally without even forming eschars.
It is our belief that diagnosis is better left to the licensed
physician, and the ultimate decision as to therapy to the
patient. If you use Cansema® to kill the cancer without
first having a physician examine you, there is the risk that
you limit your doctor's ability to uncover a deeper pathological
condition. (Example: is your skin cancer "primary," or localized
to just that area; or is it "secondary," the result of metastasis
from another area? This is important to know.)
If you eliminate the cancer, but are no wiser as
to a possible cause, you risk making your condition even worse
at a later stage. So as to not appear hypocritical, we must
admit that we ourselves have gotten rid of skin cancers and
even treated internal viral conditions with Cansema
products without first seeing a physician. Nonetheless, it's
generally not the optimal course.
Yes. We have a good
melanoma pictorial on our site and have helped even
advanced patients of melanoma experience a full recovery,
through a combination of one of the internal Cansema's
and our Cansema® Black Topical Salve.
The results with keratosis is patchy. Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't. Because of the product's great success
in dealing with skin cancer and the reputation we have to
uphold for it, we generally discourage those with keratosis
to use Cansema® to treat that condition. Nonetheless, even
our Cansema® Testimonial
page contains statements from users who refute this and
say that Cansema® got rid of their keratosis. Unquestionably,
this is an area where Cansema® results depends on the person,
and on underlying conditions that are beyond our ability
to predict.
If you are self-administering the product, avoid applications
to mucous membrane or any area where there is an existing,
unhealed burn (sun, chemical, fire, or otherwise), first
degree or higher. We have some people who have used
Cansema® products rectally and orally, for cancers
in both areas, but these were performed in conjunction
with physicians who could supply, among other things,
the necessary analgesics (pain-killers) as required.
If you want to read a case study on the use of Cansema
with cancers of the mouth, look into the
Kent Estes case. With respect to larger tumors -
growths larger than a centimeter in diameter, we caution users
that they may be need to attend to
pain management issues.
This need varies considerably from user to user, with
many variables providing inputs to the user response.
Nonetheless, the larger the tumor, all other things being equal,
the larger the pain response and the more that pain management
has to be addressed. With breast cancers, you have
a particularly sensitive part of the body. We see this same
sensitivity in the ears - only to a lesser extent. By the
time that a breast cancer is no longer asymptomatic and is
large enough to be diagnosed, it is already of sufficient
size, as a general rule, to pose pain management issues shortly
after Cansema® is applied. Cansema® is effective in this area,
but usually strong "narcotics-class" analgesics are needed
to lessen pain through the process. This is yet another area
which was not originally foreseen when we started marketing
Cansema® and its predecessors back in 1989. Our intent was to
provide an effective remedy for skin cancer, not breast cancer.
When users started experimenting and reported to us that Cansema
worked with breast cancers, we found that a large percentage
also reported a painful response. Since about 1994, we have
been warning users to observe this caution when contemplating
a breast cancer application. You will note we do not make
a claim or a recommendation for specific Cansema® use with breast
cancer on this site.
Users report back better than 80%.
One distributor, a Rev. John Swyer,
reports about 91%,
but claims in this area make us nervous, simply because we would
never want to be accused of suggesting, let alone promising,
more than we can deliver.
This is why we have such a . Suffice to say
that whatever the percentage is, it is not as good as with
Cansema® Salve and the treatment of skin cancers, which
is over 98% as a success rate.
Very rarely. Users normally report a "tingling" feeling, or
sometimes a "pulling" sensation in the
area where cancer has been diagnosed, assuming the tumor or
neoplasm is localized. For all intents and purposes, only
when dealing with Cansema® Salve do we have to attend
to pain issues, and this is primarily if the skin cancer is
larger in size, as discussed earlier.
Although both are "escharotics," the composition is different.
(For instance, we do not currently use potassium iodide in
any of the Cansema® formula - though it is one of the two
ingredients in Lugol's
iodine. Moreover, the Hoxsey formula uses at least two
herbs that our findings show to be inert as to cancer-fighting
effectiveness.) Nonetheless, the success rate of the Hoxsey
formula is very impressive, approaching that of our own.
Assuming that both approaches were on an even toe, then
cost would be the remaining issue. Our product costs [price omitted]
plus shipping. Going to Tijuana costs more than [price omitted] even
if you live in Los Angeles, and this doesn't include the
steep cost of treatment, which can run (last time we checked)
well over $3,500. Hoxsey's people would counter that at
their facility you get an attending physician, which, of
course, has value - (and their dietary consultation).
Our response would be: once you have
the diagnosis of a competent physician in your own locale,
do you really need a doctor to apply an ointment? Especially
when we provide such exacting detail as to the expected
outcome while using the product? This
is a question best left to the patient.
Most of our customers rely on NSAID's (nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs), such as iboprofen. On larger
cancers, we really prefer working with our customer in
conjunction with his or her physician so that if more
potent analgesics are needed, they will be readily
available. About five years ago, we had one gentleman
who had a tumor about four inches in diameter. When
we asked him if he experienced any pain during treatment,
he replied that on a scale of 1 to 10, it was an 18.
Nonetheless, he was delighted with the outcome and
his doctor reported that he was cancer-free by the
end of the treatment. If your cancer growth exceeds
one inch in diameter - or the location of the growth
is in a particularly sensitive area, such as the
breasts or ears, you should be sure to work
with a physician who can provide the necessary pain
killers, should you need them.
Better than 98%, pure and simple. And most of the cases that report
no success turn out to be cases of misdiagnosis.
We don't provide a money-back guarantee just because we're generous.
We offer it, largely, because our success rate is so high
that we can afford to.
Oh, sure. There are cases where Cansema® Salve has not worked
on actinic keratosis. There are cases where the purchaser used
Cansema® Salve on their dog or cat, and although we've had
good luck with pets, one customer reported that they didn't.
We had one case where a lady told her doctor about purchasing
Cansema® and the doctor replied that if she didn't return
the product immediately he would not treat her. In several other
cases, we were told by a customer who purchased one of our
internal Cansema® products for a sick relative that their
loved one died before they could see them to start our treatment.
(One of our greatest heartaches is that people often consider
alternative therapies when they or their loved one is on the
verge of death, usually from chemotherapy or radiation treatment.)
So, yes, we get returns.
But they are a very small percentage of our total sales.
Yes, your Cansema® Salve is still
good. It has a long shelf-life - and, in fact, we ourselves have used
Cansema® Salve that is about ten years old and it was still effective.
The reason for the long shelf-life is simple: the active components
are quite molecularly stable and non-reactive.
One important point, however, is that despite the addition of a
humectant, glycerin (a wetting agent), to the Salve - it may still dry
out over time - even though you may have kept the lid on the jar
fairly tight. This can be quickly remedied by adding a few drops
of water and carefully stirring the contents thoroughly inside
the plastic jar in which your Cansema® is shipped. In one word, no. We understand that people routinely
use Cansema® to remove cancers without getting a diagnosis first.
(This is not something, by the way, that we recommend, because a good
physician may identify health issues in the diagnostic process that
can only be picked up by a health care professional.) It then follows that some
customers will wonder, after an eschar falls out, if they can have it analyzed to
see "if it was really cancer." (It isn't just cost and inconvenient;
many people avoid an initial biopsy because they don't want a chunk
of flesh taken out of their hide. It's not exactly painless.)This is akin to taking a
McDonald's hamburger to a chemist and asking, "Can you tell me
what kind of cow this came from?" In order to have an accurate
biopsy done, you need a live tissue sample. By the time your
eschar falls out, all that is detectable is a mass of dead cellular
matter. Analysis would show that it contains serous fluid,
certain immunological components, and perhaps the remains of
Cansema® itself - but little else. If you want a good diagnosis,
get it before you apply Cansema® - not after.
Our advice is to start
at the edge and make sure you do not apply more than
a square centimeter. As usual, apply so that the coating
is somewhat thick and definitely opague. A warning in advance:
if you do not have good analgesics on you, this thing
could hurt. What Cansema® does, in a matter of speaking,
is initiate a process where the body is conducting its
own surgery. Make no mistake about it: Cansema® is
taking that thing out of there. But pain management
can be a real consideration when you have larger growths.So one very small
application .... wait .... see how you feel .... when the
discomfort subsides in a day or so .... apply again ....
repeat. In this way you are extending over time and in
small incremental amounts, any pulling or stinging
sensations, so that the entire process is
readily manageable.
You should keep the
area as dry as possible from the
escharization through the heal-over phase,
but since bathing is necessity, we ask that users try
to keep the area as dry as is 'practiceable' through
the process. What is preferred
is to "sponge bath" the area and don't be
too abrasive with it -- given the sensitivity of the area. I remember in the early 1990's
when we first became aware of this phenomenon. A customer applied
Cansema®: on his shoulder for a skin cancer and shortly
thereafter he had an eschar appear on his forearm.Through the years we have
experimented to make Cansema® respond more systemically
to take advantage of this observation.One practitioner here in
Guayaquil uses our formulary advice to create a Cansema®
version that he applies to the hip, which he then covers
with a transparent bandage. (He chose this location because
it is not near mucous membrane or other more sensitive areas
on the skin surface. He also chose it for esthetic reasons:
it is one of the areas one is least likely to show publicly).He has reached the point as a
practitioner where he can tell from the size and type of
the eschar the severity of the internal cancer, its type,
its probable location,
and how best to treat this internal cancer type.This takes the application
of Cansema® to a new level. It adds a new dimension
to Cansema® as a healing art -- one for which we plan
to create educational materials for physicians as this new
cancer treatment discipline blossoms under the scrutiny of
unbiased empirical observation --- (G. Caton, 14 Sep 08). Cansema® products
are not paliative in nature, let alone preventive. They are aggressive
cancer fighters, the latest generation in a family of preparations
with a very long history of usage, effectiveness, and suppression
by orthodoxy. Therefore, they should not be thought of as
general preventives. They are too aggressive.No Cansema® product
should be thought of -- or used -- in the manner of . . . let us say,
daily multivitamin and mineral formulas. And no Cansema®
product should be taken on a regular basis for an indefinite period
of time. Cansema® products should be "used briefly -- get
the job done -- discontinue use." In advanced internal cases, the use
of Cansema can last for months, but even then, usage does not go on
indefinitely.In the alternative, some of
our practitioners have recommended using either one of the Cansema®
Salves or Tonic III for several days -- every quarter or even every
year. If there are usually warm sensations that this usage induces,
then a report back to the practitioner will bring out further
investigation to see what underlying problem may be detectable.
But other than these short duration usages by customers without
cancer, long term use in the absence of any cancer is discouraged.Prevention should be addressed
through improvement of lifestyle and diet -- and avoiding the forms
of maladaptation (as was taught by French biologist, Rene Dubos) that
promote cancer in the first place. We provide a plentiful amount
of prevention information in our
Health Zone.
As general rule, small
skin cancers should require only one application. Larger, deeper
growths will require multiple applications. One or more of the
following signs will manifest if you need additional application:
continued presence of a mole-like discoloration, the sensation of
a slight itch or the presence of an unidentifiable mass
(example: red, raised bump), however small,
in or around the target area well after the "heal over" process of
the prior Cansema® application is already complete, or the
obvious: a culture or biopsy taken by a qualified practitioner
(and this can be years) after Cansema® has been applied that
indicates the presence of cancer cells.As we indicate in the
Cansema® User Instructions,
many users don't take a chance. They simply apply Cansema® after removing
a cancer to insure that they "have it all." Since Cansema® does not react
to healthy tissue, this not only indicates an absence of cancer activity in
the area, but also removes cancer cells from this skin tissue if there is
any cancer. Cansema® Salve contains a small
amount of bloodroot (L. sanguinaria canadensis),
which contains certain abortifacient alkaloids
(i.e. potential chemical-inducers of pregnancy termination). It can be taken topically
without any problem, but none of the various "internal" uses for Cansema®
Salve should be employed for the duration of pregnancy, nor should any of the
internal versions be taken internally.
As with so many aspects of
Cansema use, each case is different. Many people use the product
and experience little or no scar tissue. Meditopia®
opens with Chapter 1
and the story of the author's (AO Labs' founder, Greg Caton) own use of
a predecessor to Cansema® in 1989. That first use produced
mild scarring that went away completely within a year -- but, once
again, each case is different. It has been our experience that
when Cansema does leaving some scarring
-- in better than 95% of all cases -- it is less than you will
see using surgical removal.There are a variety of
healing agents that can be used to minimize scarring. These include
the use of QuikHeal Salve
and/or Sangre de Drago.
These two products use different mechanisms of action to both speed
up the healing process and minimize scarring. (See product page links
above for particulars).If you do not have either of
these two products, or cannot get them from us for whatever reason,
another effective approach is the use of colostrum mixed with
neosporin.Lastly . . . to minimize
scarring to begin with, please follow the
Cansema User Instructions.
