IODINE

[YEA] 02/26/2007: Diane from Chesapeake, VA: "I use tincture of iodine (everyday) on skin ulcers which refuse to heal. Sometimes I apply iodine 2 to 3 times a day. I never miss a day when treating squamous cell carcinoma. The area being treated by the tincture of iodine often becomes very sensitive or itchy...don't discontinue the iodine...keep applying iodine on the ulcer. The itchy skin will scab up...it's just the healing process. Scrape off the skin if it again develops a white flaky patch or a brown scab...then, apply more iodine. Use the iodine for at least one to two months until the skin ulcer has completely disappeared. Then, use Retin-A cream to complete the skin rejuvenation process. Use Raw Organic Palm Fruit Oil along with the iodine to promote deep healing and also use Raw Organic Palm Fruit Oil along with sun block to prevent future skin damage. The ulcer patches have developed on my hands and lower arms. One skin damaged area shows my skin separating on crease lines on top of my wrist. The day after I applied the tincture of iodine to the separating skin, the crease lines showed signs of healing, as blood circulation appeared in the area. The areas I treat are all about the size of a quarter, which is larger than the freckle-sized spot. I figure the underlying skin damage takes in a larger area and it may only show up on the skin as a small freckle-sized spot. Last, everyone will ask you why you are using iodine on your skin...it's orange...it's sooo old fashioned. Don't let the embarrassment of orangey skin stop your self-treatment...it beats having a doctor remove the cancer and leaving you with holes where the carcinoma or melanoma used to be. I use this treatment on all skin problems, to include possible melanoma. In addition to the topical treatment, I plan to add a daily dose of Lugol's Iodine in my drinking water. I want to treat all cancers and other health problems from within. I have red hair and white skin with lots of freckles, and I am very sun sensitive. I have been terribly burned year after year while growing up in California. I am now 56 years old, and the skin cancer is just starting to appear. That's why I feel it necessary to add the Lugol's Iodine daily to my drinking water."
Replies[YEA] 11/06/2010: Mlh from Greenville, Sc replies: "After having moles on my body all of my life I figured I was stuck with them. I had a few removed (surgically) when I was a teenager and the rest I figured I'd have forever. Until I saw this thread I figured why not give iodine a try. It couldn't hurt right? I can't believe it.Within days the moles had dried up, and like others mentioned, formed a scab. I kept up with the iodine and low an behold the moles are gone! I had 3 prominent moles on my chest that I was always self conscious of. They're gone! Why didn't I know about this 20 years ago??? Thanks for an awesome tip!"

[YEA] 01/18/2006: Brenda from DE: "Iodine is excellent for toenail fungus, ringworm, fever blisters, moles and skin tags, hangnails, etc. Just a few drops on a q-tip is all it takes. Use daily until the "boo-boo" is gone."

[YEA] Teresa from Lowell, North Carolina: "I had a raised mole to come up on my face and several skin tags to appear under my arm. I was embarrassed by the mole on my face, but didn't have the money to have it removed. Using a q-tip, I rubbed iodine on both the mole and skin tags at night before going to bed. Within 3 to 7 days the skin tag dried and fell off while the mole went away. I have shared this information with my sister who has removed several as well."

REMEDIES NEEDED
09/30/2011: Moley from Anonymous: "In the past year I've had maybe 50 small flat brown moles show up on my body, on my stomach and under my breast are. What is causing this and how can I get rid of so many? My Dr saw them during my physical but didn't think anything fo them."

09/08/2011: Ruth from Uk: "I have lots of moles all over my body. They ruin my life and stop me from going swimming, wearing skirts, etc. My doctor won't remove them because they are benign. My moles are mostly flat or very slightly raised and are fairly small but are unsightly and numerous. I want them gone and topical solutions such as garlic didn't work. What can I take internally to fix this problem and get rid of them? I eat a high raw, low sugar diet already."
Replies09/10/2011: Catherine from Wellington, New Zealand replies: "Not an internal remedy but I have personally had great success painting moles with iodine. They fade gradually with consistent painting. Hope this helps."
09/14/2011: Ruth from Uk replies: "Hi! Do you need to scratch it first? I'd rather not, it makes me feel uneasy. Can it be dangerous in any way?"

08/08/2011: Cheryl from Knoxville, Tennessee: "My daughter had a mole removed on the top of her knee by a dermatologist three years ago. It was about the size of a pencil eraser and slightly raised. The Dr.just scraped it off. What remains is a larger spot, reddish and about the size of a AA battery end. Since it's on the top of her knee and visible, friends ask all the time what it is. I was thinking about taking her to a plastic surgeon but hate to go to that expense just to avoid a scar and no guarantees it will work. Anyone have any thought on whether ACV would work on it? I'm assuming there still must be mole roots there and I should scrape and soak ACV on it. I'd love any feedback!"
Replies08/08/2011: Oscar from Syracuse, New York, Usa replies: "What is ACV ? Please, all posters, define your aconyms when using them. As to mole removal: Moles should be removed by qualified dermatologists. It is not that expensive. Moles can be precancerous tissues, not something to play around with. As to scar removal: Scar tissue is more than skin deep. This is true for permanent scars. The skin deep ones will dissappear with time. I have a lot of scars. I had some surgery to repair the worst one. A hole the size of a silver dollar in my back. The exit wound from a frontal gunshot wound. The rest I live with and there are many. Some large and ugly. I very much understand why any woman would be more concerned about such things and I very much recommend seeing a truly good cosmetic surgeon to do what can be done to remove disturbing scars. See a good, reputable doctor about this and discuss with him or her what can be done about this scar. For her sake: do not rough up the scarred area and apply some home remedy. Again, permanent scars are more than skin deep....Oscar"
08/08/2011: Mitch6114 from Gatineau, Quebec replies: "I have used 35% hydrogen peroxide successfully many times to burn off warts anywhere on the body even on the face. First get Avery hole reinforcements (32203) available in the paper and labels department of any department store. Place one hole reinforcement on the wart to expose only the wart and help protect the healthy skin around it. Then you take a very small round band aid, place a drop of 35% hydrogen peroxide in the center of the band aid, place the band aid on the wart and leave it for at least 2 hours or overnight. You will feel a slight burning sensation (depending on your pain threshold) for the first hour or so, then it will stop burning. Then, remove it, the wart should fall off by itself. If not, you can repeat the same operation a second time. It is effective and cheap."

SCRATCH AND APPLY SALT

[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 05/12/2008: Sonnie from LAGOS, NIGERIA: "MOLE REMEDY: I had moles scattered all over my body (up to my face). They first start out like tiny specks and begin to expand over time. Some were as big as maize seeds. The remedy was to scratch the surface with a sharp object and apply salt (regular kitchen salt). You begin to see results after two days and whatever scars appear initially fizzle out over time. I may not know if it worked for me because am black."

SUPPLEMENTS

[YEA] 10/08/2010: Sue M. from Worden, Il, Usa: "I recently bought a bottle of cellfood at my local health food store. I researched the uses and one of the things that they said it did was to remove moles, warts, etc. So after washing my face, I cut off the end of a q-tip and dipped the end in a drop of cellfood. I applied it directly to the moles that I had on my face. Just barely touching the mole with the cellfood, I did this several times during the evening. You have to be very careful as it can burn the surrounding tissue. It blows my mind that this morning two of my moles are gone and after another application tonight, I'm sure the other two will be gone by tomorrow morning. I removed one mole using the ACV method and it took several nights to remove and longer to heal, but this process was amazing. It is also great for burns and small cuts. BUT, there is some burning involved..... Nothing that cannot be tolerated... More like an irritation. I know this is not a cheap product, but what it can do is worth it."
Replies10/08/2010: Zsaqwe from Brownsville, Texas replies: "What does cell food contains? Is it the same as 35%food grade Peroxide? It looks like so much like the same thing."
10/12/2010: Suem from Worden, Il Usa replies: "Cellfood is not a peroxide. According to the research, it has amino acids, vitamins and oxygen.... The oxygen content is what I believe removed my moles. It's now in the healing process, but the moles are gone."
10/14/2010: Ann from Austin, Tx replies: "Where did you buy these supplements? I am covered on my face, and neck. Now, I'm getting them on my chest and back."
10/14/2010: Suem from Worden, Il Usa replies: "Ann... I bought my bottle at my local health food store, but it can be purchased online. Amazon has the best price that I found. The sites where my moles were are scabbed over, but still healing nicely."
[YEA] 10/29/2010: Lovebydesign from Oakland, Ca replies: "Thanks, Suem! I used Cellfood and after about a week of applying regularly, the mole on my face and two on my arm have all peeled easily off.. Amazing! Now, I'm working on healing the skin around and underneath (using MSM cream and coconut oil -- usually w/ a drop or two of an essential oil (tea tree or lavindin for the anti-fungal properties or sea buckthorn for the skin nourishing properties)).. Hopefully they heal beautifully.."
10/29/2010: Lovebydesign from Oakland, Ca replies: "Hi.. I forgot to mention that during the week or so that I was dabbing the CellFood Q-tip on my moles, I had to urinate much more frequently and much more suddenly (and I couldn't hold it for nearly as long as I normally can). I wondered if I was developing a UTI (which I've never had before), but I had no other symptoms/discomfort and haven't noticed it now that I haven't used the CellFood these last few days. I'm assuming maybe the CellFood was killing/releasing the fungus or whatever the cause of the mole and my body wanted to eliminate it ASAP."

TED'S MOLE THEORY

[YEA] 10/06/2007: Bob : "Ted, I am intrigued by your theory that moles are fungi protected by melanin. It makes sense that they grow and shrink and puff out! I recently burned one off in less than a day of using garlic clove mixed with ACV. I also used black walnut tincture for 5 days prior with no noticeable results. After less than a day I pulled the round bandaid off and it was blistered so I stopped doing anything. I poked it with a pin and realized it wasn't attached. I squeezed pus out for a day and then it dried up and rubbed off quite easily in four days, and the remaining scab five days later. I had some success with castor oil and baking soda on different moles but they came back. I think it's different for everyone and every mole because possibly every mole is a different fungus protected by melanin so it makes sense that they can't be destroyed all the same way! Also, I am very lethargic and have swollen lymph nodes and tonsil cruddies as well as over 350 moles all over my body so it makes sense that I'm full of viruses or funguses!!! Any good foods to eat? Goji? Garlic? Onion? Potassium rich foods? I heard that warts and moles can be a sign of potassium deficiency, but some people think moles are just the hangy dark ones so I'm not sure if they meant flat ones as well. Have you heard anything on this? Once again I'm very intrigued by your ideas please update me on any helpful information."
Replies06/16/2010: Aria from Port Huron, Mi, Us replies: "Try adding 1/2 tsp. baking soda to each litre of water that you drink. I started drinking 3-4 litres per day to help alkalize my PH to get rid of a 3 year battle with MRSA. Not only was the MRSA gone within a few days but it never came back and I noticed several other "side effects". One of these effects was that my moles started shrinking from within days. I added extra virgin coconut oil to my diet a couple of times a day and most of my skin blemishes were gone within a month with no sign of their previous existence.On the tough moles, I am adding 5% lugol's iodine right now. It has been three days and they are hard and dry. A patch of scab from one fell off last night to expose pink skin so I think it's working. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out."

THE STRING METHOD

[YEA] 04/05/2008: Jennie from Fort Wayne, IN: "My friend (an RN) removed a large mole on my back by tying cotton thread around it and slowly cutting off it's blood flow. She'd tie a new thread, slightly tighter, every few days or so. After three weeks it came off. This was absolutely painless, the only thing that bothered me was my clothing rubbing on it so I kept a band-aid over it. It was quite large and got bigger and turned purple as it died. I'm sure a smaller mole would come off in less time."
Replies[NAY] 06/19/2011: Malte from Usa replies: "re: mole removal (the string method)I tried this on a medium sized-mole (maybe 5 mm in diameter). The mole was raised a little. What I did was apply HP until it turned white and raised some more, then I tied a thread around it tightly and covered it with a bandaid. It seemed to be okay after a while, but after day 2 I had to remove the string because the area was getting red and inflamed, and hurting so badly I had a headache and was beginning to get nauseous. A few days later the area is still very red, tender, and painful.
Maybe it was because I used HP first, but I think this method is probably far more painful that simply applying iodine (which I am trying on other moles with no pain so far). I would not reccomend this method."
11/19/2011: Sally from Warsaw, Poland replies: "I've actually used the string method succesfully on my arm, but in a slightly modified way.My mole was a medium brown color, raised, and circular. It had been there unchanged for years, so I knew it was safe to remove. I cleaned the area well and I tied a string around it - no knots or anything, so I could tighten it at will. I tied it around tightly and watched tv, and I would tighten the string every few minutes. After about two hours the mole was very pale, and the string was pulled so tightly the mole had turned into a perfect spherish bubble above the string. I took a sharp knife that I sterilized earlier, and while pulling the string and mole upwards, I placed the blade under the string and I cut the mole off. I cleaned the wound and waited for it to stop bleeding, and covered it with a bandaid. For the next few days I cleaned the wound and put Neosporin on it. Now, half a year later, I have a tiny scar. It's a barely visible brown ring where the edges of the mole were (it turned out that I didn't grab enough of the mole with the string), with a very small brown dot in the center (the root). The mole so far isn't growing back and I'm really happy with the results.
This method is really risky and you can really harm yourself, so I advise choosing a more safer method to remove your moles."
