When it comes to black salves I will tell you what others have told me. You will likely be better off to purchase a product rather than make one. The best cancer salves have a chemical in it that is now restricted and requires hazmat shipping which makes it quite unaffordable for most people to go about making their own.
The best black salves I have come across are sold by Alpha Omega Labs which has relocated from Colorado to Ecquador due to harrassment from the FDA. They have a reputation for making excellent products. Their new site is
www.altcancer.com Unfortuanately they are still on the run from the long hand of the US FDA. The owner was recently arrested again in an airport in Ecquador.. not sure where he is at now. His wife is an ND and she was running the company alone last I heard as of January. The site use to have lots of information on black salves and testimonials etc. but most of that has been removed. There products use to be called Cansema but have a new name now, Amazon. Formulas have not been changed.
The good thing about these black salves is that the shelf life is indefinate... people have used them up to 10 years after purchase. They may last longer. It is a good product to have in long term survival gear. It has a track record for being very effective with melanoma but you really need to know how to use it and how to manage the applications and dressings unless you are absolutely sure your tumor is fairly small.
For this knowledge I recommend the book by Ingred Naiman, that is a detailed work on using black salves, dressings, assessments with photos, and even recipes for making your own. Here it is:
http://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Salves...1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276271184&sr=1-1-spell golly! I have that book but certainly didn't pay that much for it! But if you are going to self treat a melanoma it is essential and the reason being is that often melanoma is much larger than it appears from the outside so the dressing changes and assessments become somewhat more involved.
I got into all this research because I had a very small melanoma many years ago sugically removed. Since then I have had patients who were dying from melanomas they had removed 20 and 30 years ago. So that was a wake up call for me.... and these days I have no insurance.... not that I would go that route anyway. Just wanted to be prepared with knowledge for whatever may or maynot come.
I will say this though, I have known several people who have used black salve and were quite successful, even one woman with a large melanoma deeply imbedded into her leg muscle. She is doing well after quite a few years now..

and because medical doctors often cannot see where these tumors begin and end they often do not "get it all" and hence people end up dying from melanoma as it spreads after surgery though out the body, although sometimes not for many years later when they find it in their liver or elsewhere inside.
For other skin cancers I would not necessarily use black salve but you could. There is a plant called Pretty Spurge (euphorbia peplus) that is effective on basal and sarcoma skin cancers and it works similar to black salve. I have a very nice document on it that I can send to anyone who may be interested. PM me. t
If cancer is extensive thoughout the body it is good to use an oral product also, usually, but not always, bloodroot. There are some great products with Amazon rainforest herbs these days. Always seek a good reputable suplier for Amazon rainforest products as there are poor quality products out there.
If you search around the net you will find several black salve products with different ingredients. If there is melanoma you really need the type with zinc chlorite in it. ( I hope I have that right, I will double check) Thats the one that requires the hazmat shipping.
