[YEA]  10/14/2006: Steeve from Montreal, Quebec: "Hi, I just wanted to tell people about taking Blood root. I am HIV and I am not taking any treatment for the moment. My state was stable although I was feeling tired all the time and had swollen glands in the back of my neck and behind the ears. I had tried a few natural remedies to try and cope with the virus, but they all seemed so inefficient. Then a friend told me about Bloodroot and how it is used to locally treat some kind of cancers... I said why not... and I ordered the pills, which were hard to find! Every website said that internal use of bloodroot is toxic and dangerous... But I tried anyway, and I took 450mg 3 times a day (and I'm still taking it), it's been 3 weeks since I started and i don't regret it!!! The lymph nodes have almost disappeared, I gained some weight on my body and face. The bags under my eyes are gone! And i have so much energy now! It's crazy...! I told my doctor about it and he said he'll do a blood test to see if I have a toxicity level in my blood. I'll post you the results."

09/23/2009: Deryle from Evansville, In replies: "Any new solutions for HIV symptoms would be wonderful information. I would like to be informed of your success or failure using the bloodroot. Thanks... Deryle"

06/15/2011: Thingz8 from New York, Ny replies: "Are the side effects not that bothering? I believe only those who doesn't have any gastric problem can take such vinegar.

09/22/2011: Sheila from Cork, Ireland replies: "I have just returned from Abadiania, Brasilia, where John of God with the help of God, heals people from all ailments, including hiv. He performs some physical operations but most are spiritual operations.

I interviewed many people, some of whom were given only months to live by their doctors, they are now fully recovered and return to Abadiania every year to say thank you."

12/15/2011: Anthony from Miami, Fl., Usa replies: "I went to see John of God and found many people leaving the area as myself very disillusioned. He rules every aspect of life in that town. Stupid things like only flat sheets on the beds in the hotels, no air conditioning, no tv. In his church area it's worse, no talking most places, buy tons of his water, buy all his passion fruit powders at $1.00 a pill, buy 6 months supplies. It's a money scheming hypnotically controlled cult. He was once a doctor who got kicked out, cause he wouldn't follow rules. Dr. Arrigo was the original healer with the rusty kitchen knife but he was, mysteriously murdered! And this phony took his place..."

04/09/2011: Sucitza from Toronto, Ontario: "Can I use blood root and in what form: tonic, tincture and how much? Can I make it and how? Thank you so very much. Sucitza"

11/19/2008: Steve from Hernando, MS.: "bloodroot: This is a good video Doctors hate. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5528328984547372206&ei=wpQjSdubCYfq-gGOvd3uCA&q=Hoxsey"

07/08/2011: Shar from Los Angeles, Ca: "I am also having an irregular pap come back that is probably HVP and I wanted to see how I can use Blood root to cure myself naturally. What is the secret potion/application?"

09/02/2011: G from Nyc, Ny replies: ""probably HPV".... My daughter was going to Planned Parenthood (if not allowed to post the name, then: the nationally known clinic that starts with a P). Last year they said she might have HPV.... They did a scraping.... Nothing found. This year she went. Again, they said possible HPV... Wanted to check further. She switched to a real gynocologist. They said she did not show results of HPV and needed no further testing/biopsy, and that the first diagnosis should not have been made because at the time she had a bacterial infection. I'm thinking that they are trying to prove that they need more gov't funding and don't care about the emotional upset they are causing to their patients. I myself have not found them reliable in their diagnosis'."

09/28/2011: Cancer Survivor from Central, Fl replies: "Regards HPV. If your daughter does not have HPV now I STRONGLY suggest Gardisil. When I was a teen or early 20 I was sent to dysplasia clinic at a hospital & then they said I was ok. Uh HUH. 30 years later.... I got anal cancer. And it was "cloacogenic" which is strongly tied to HPV 16 or 18. EVERYONE GET your teens innoculated. FYI - I volunteered at Planned Patrenthood working with doctors and I think it is "preposterous" that you feel that made up DX for funding. Wrong DX would RUIN thier reputation. Much better they refer you if something looks funny. I would CONTINUE WITH HPV TESTING.. BUT GET THE SHOTS. ANAL CANCER IS NOT FUN.. Your skin falls off... Over and over. Farah fawcett DIED... She was Dx four months before me. Make sure you see a GYN and he does rectal exam. Good luck."

03/11/2012: Mamallama from Roseville, California replies: "If you are looking for natural alternatives, don't recommend Gardasil.

10/20/2012: Melissa from Stuttgart, Germany replies: "I cannot believe there is someone on here "promoting" the Gardisil vaccine, thank you for posting the link about the dangers. There have been several deaths linked to this scam of a vaccine!"

02/12/2013: Sheree from Oakhurst, Nj replies: "I would highly advise against the GARDASIL vaccination. Girls have died soon after taking the shot and many others have had serious adverse reactions. You can google this info and see videos on YOU TUBE. Any time you are tempted to take a vaccination, think twice. Some research has shown them to be ineffective and in some cases, detrimental to health and well being. Educate yourself."

[YEA]  10/16/2007: George from Camp Verde, Arizona: "After using Indian mud from the Nyes corp., for years with great success, I find now that the FDA has stopped them from making it or selling it, butt out big brother!"

EC: Indian Mud is another term for Bloodroot.]

02/17/2009: Jim from Mesa, Arizona replies: "How can I buy some indian mud here in Arizona?"

10/30/2009: Karine from Tucson, Arizona replies: "I am responding to Jim from Arizona's request on where to purchase "Indian Mud" Here is the information: Bloodrootproducts.com Page link: http://bloodrootproducts.com/Black-Salve-C1.html (Indian Mud is at the bottom of the page)

They also sell various strengths of blood root and black salves .. Every item explains in detail about the strength of their products. Hope this information will help. I used Indian Mud on my Actinic keratosis on my face and had great results."

11/17/2011: Th from Magnolia, Usa replies: "Indian Mud is available from www.altcancercream.com

They were the suggested replacement source for compin and compex once the Nyes Corp. closed the doors."

[YEA]  11/08/2007: Andre from Waterbury, CT: "Yes i have tried the bloodroot paste on many things. i 1st used it on a weird lump i had on my thigh.my doctor had told me it was just fibers under my skin and not to worry, but i had to get rid of it, it just naged me to be there. so i did a search and tought bloodroot paste might work. and guess what it did. it also got rid of my skin tags. and 1 time out of 5 it left a scar. i think its because i bandaged it with, because the other times i didnt and it left'nothing.."

06/10/2012: Maisie\'s Mom from NJ: "Okay, after reading all these posts, questions, testimonials, warnings, etc. , would it not just be workable or effective to use just pure bloodroot extract/tincture (liquid) either by itself or with some form of delivery (dmso) or suspension (glycerin or vit. E) only? Because it would seem to me that the zinc chloride in the formulation is the culprit. I am trying to use it for cosmetic purposes (moles, plentiful, but none cancerous). Maisie's Mom"

Thursday 11/6/03
Age 38, I am fair-skinned with history of blistering sunburns during childhood. A barber discovered that I had a large mole while trimming the back of my neck while I was out of town working on my mom's estate. I was extremely busy that year and was not checking my skin monthly. The covering was reddish brown oval shape 5/8" wide with a rough surface like a mole or scab, but with no recent injury. It grew to that size within less than 5-7 weeks since I had last looked at the back of my neck. It was not painful, but I noticed my shirt tag rubbing against the rough spot for the first time the day before it was discovered. Of course I was in a mental panic driving back from the barber shop. As soon as I walked in the door, I called immediately for an appointment with my dermatologist but the receptionist said there was a 5-week wait. I was very concerned and they moved it up to 15 days. After I hung up the phone, I remembered bloodroot is supposed to remove moles and that there was a patch at the edge of the yard just outside the kitchen. I also knew a lady who had used black salve to remove skin cancer from her forehead. Even though the bloodroot was dormant I dug in the dirt, found it on the first try, broke off a root piece the size of a finger joint, washed it and kept it refrigerated in a little glass pill jar. I sliced off a 1mm thick piece of bloodroot, rubbed the juice on the mole and let it soak in. I applied the bloodroot slice to the mole basically the same way my dermatologist had shown me how to use salicylic acid pads for plantar warts, but I never scraped it. The bloodroot juice made it sting slightly and I could feel that something was happening. I put a drop of water on the root slice to make sure it was moist and rubbed it on the mole again. All it took was a 1mm thick slice and the diameter fit perfectly on the mole. I taped it down tight on the mole with a bandaid, and sealed it with medical tape.

Within 20 minutes of making the doctor appt my first bloodroot treatment was already applied. At that point I was not worried because I was doing something positive about it plus I had a doctor appt scheduled just in case the bloodroot didn't work. I massaged it through the bandage frequently to squeeze more juice into the mole and stimulate healing. The reddish brown cover came off the next morning. I changed the bandage each morning, and repeated the process. The light colored yellowish gray pus sloughed off on the bandages a little bit each day and rinsed off while showering. The skin was also healing as the mole was clearing out, it shrunk down to almost nothing in 5 days and completely healed within a week. The scar is a 5/8" wide crater but It is totally unnoticeable.

Friday 11/21/03 3:30PM
I brought the bandages and tissue which I had kept frozen in a jar to the appt. My dermatologist remarked that the scar was pretty big. I had prepared these questions for my dermatologist:
Will you biopsy the tissue that I had frozen so that I will know whether I had cancer?
Can you take a biopsy sample from the dried mole covering still attached to a bandage?
Have you had other patients who used bloodroot?
What do you think of the bloodroot-based escharotic black salve ointments that are on the market?
Can you find out from a biopsy if this was associated with a specific cancer, virus, mold, or bacteria?
My dermatologist refused the biopsy request and didn't really explain why. I wanted to know if I had had cancer and felt like he brushed me off.

Of course, I dug up some bloodroot while the house was vacant and have a nice patch growing in my yard now. I kept the piece of bloodroot that I used in 2003 frozen in a jar and found that it maintains potency while frozen. It can be reconstituted with water and sliced for continued use for several years - which is good since the plant is rare and grows very slowly. I used it again twice in 2006 & 2009 , but these were pinhead-size moles that I discovered during routine skin self-examinations, and bloodroot removed each of them in one day.

Meanwhile, in 2009 one of my best friends died of melanoma at age 44. He had an abundance of moles, but the melanoma was already at Stage 4 when discovered and he told me before he died that he did not know where it originated.

In 2012, 9 years after the discovery of my fast-growing mole, I viewed WebMD.com "Skin Lesions And Cancer" slideshow. I think what I had most closely resembled Bowen's Disease which is a type of squamous cell carcinoma that rapidly spreads outward. If that is the case then I probably had a a pre-cancerous actinic keratosis in that location that I was unaware of prior to the rapid growth of the mole. Now at age 47 I discovered that I suddenly have about a dozen actinic keratosis spots on top of my head, so I am trying apple cider vinegar for 3 days so far with no result. I might try bloodroot powder from an herb shop mixed with aloe lotion if ACV doesn't work, but I've tried bloodroot before and it doesn't seem to work with AK either. I can always visit a dermatologist to freeze them off if needed."

01/19/2013: Annette from Queensland, Australia replies: "Black salve should only be applied once, I think, to the affected area, for 12 to 24 hours, and then simply left, covered if you want to protect the area and also your clothes. I believe that the salve breaks through the disguise that the cancer uses to trick your body into growing it, and allowing your body's own immune system to do its stuff and recognise and expel the foreign material.

With all it's successes over time black salve should be readily available to us all, and the authorities should be supporting research into how it works best rather than suppressing the information and shutting down and jailing the manufacturers!!!"

05/10/2008: Joyce from Joelton, TN replies: "Consider yourself fortunate to have found something that works & doesn't kill you before any cancer has the chance to. I have also used the black salve with good results many times in the past. If anyone wonders why many are getting disillusioned with orthodox medicine and the FDA, go to www.altcancer.com, go through until you find reference to Cancerolytic Herbs: A History of Suppression. You just might decide that the above has developed into our worst cancer of all. Most of all, we need to thank God for the internet which makes it much easier for useful information to be passed on to the public and when enough of us "little bucks" plebians" join together, maybe we can out shout the big bucks and change things back to the way it should be. The first thing we need to tackle is getting the toxins (especially monosodium glutamate and aspartame) out of our food supplies and we don't have time to play around - because they are now saying that alzheimers disease is hitting people in their thirties. At this rate most parents won't be functioning mentally long enough to get their children to a state of independence where they can care for themselves. Even worse is the probablility that these children will develop symptoms much earlier than their parents because they have been fed foods laden with MSG and aspartame since they were old enough to eat baby food.

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS]  03/20/2010: Margierunner from Austin, Texas replies: "I had similar results on a mole on my back. I put bloodroot paste on the mole for about 1 week. It got really infected and my lymph nodes hurt and I felt really sick. I put honey on the mole and within a few days the infection was gone and the mole dropped out this morning. There is a serious hole in my back right now but it is clean and I expect it to fill in as others have reported. I had a smaller mole (pencil eraser size) on my neck that fell out much quicker with less pain. The hole is filled in now after a week. I really appreciate all the advice on this website as I was not surprised at the process I went through. I would certainly do it again but also warn others not to do this if you are faint at heart. It can be very scary."
