Pure Gum Spirits of Turpentine for Skin Cancers.
A while back I was reading the book - Merck's Manual of the Materia Medica 1899.

The Merck's Manual of the Materia Medica was first published in 1899 published a small reference book for physicians and pharmacists. It was meant as an aid to physicians and pharmacists, reminding doctors that “Memory is treacherous.” Compact in size, easy to use, and comprehensive, The Merck Manual (as it was later known) became a favorite of those involved in medical care and others in need of a medical reference. Even Albert Schweitzer carried a copy to Africa in 1913, and Admiral Byrd carried a copy to the South Pole in 1929. If you look up turpentine in the 1899 manual of Merck, it will let you know that turpentine therapy is effective for cancerous growths (i.e. skin cancers). From Merck's Manual of the Materia Medica 1899 page 79.

It's the turpentine that comes from Pine trees that targets cancer. A paper published in the journal Prostate in 2008 found that oigomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs) taken from maritime pine bark, targeted a prostate can cell line known as LNCaP. The LNCaP cells ceased to spread but also ended up dying. OPCs in pine tree oil was found to slow the spread of cancer cells, induce cancer cell death, inhibit processes that lead to cancer, exhibit natural antioxidant, antimutagenic and antiproliferative properties. It was later found that pine needles of the Pinus densiflora variety inhibit many of the processes by which cancer forms the body and directly blocks the growth of a multiple cancer cell lines including MCF-7, SNU-638 and HL-60.

The authors declared that pine exhibits a strong antioxidant, antimutagenic and antiproliferative effect on cancer cells. In a study involving mice tumorigenesis was suppressed by pine needle supplementation in model systems

Another oil of terebinthine pine, known as terebinthe, is another anti-cancer effect that stimulates both the prostate gland and the uterus. It helps to mitigate adrenal fatigue and balance hormone production. It is turpentine pine resin that is among the most regarded anti-cancer remedies in ancient folklore, showing benefits in cancers of the liver, breast, spleen, rectum, tongue and even more. – Dr Fredda Branyon.

Now, this past month I got the chance to test this on two people with skin cancers.

CASE STUDY Mrs. M.

Mrs. M had a Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on her nose about 7 years ago and went thru a horrible surgery to remove it. She swore she would rather die then go thru that again. Well, last month a strange lesion popped-up on her chest. It looked exactly like how the BCC on her nose first started out. I suggested she try Gum Spirits of Turpentine for the cancer. I told her it would take about 2 weeks of applying it daily to see any results. She agreed and I gave her a bottle with a eye dropped to make it easier to apply. She put one drop on the BCC 2x/daily. She said it turned a ash color, turned dry and crackled, then fell off exposing health tissue underneath. She was over joyed with the results.

CASE STUDY Mrs. J.

Mrs. J has had Squamous and Basal carcinoma cells around her eyebrows on and off for 10 years now. Both cutting and freezing them off. Recently some have developed again and she was tired of getting cut on. She wanted to try turpentine. She applied a drop to each lesion 2x/daily and by the third week they had fell off exposing healthy tissue underneath.

COST ANALYSIS.

Estimated costs:

Excisional surgery: $100-$2,000, Mohs micrographic surgery: $1,000-$5,000, Cryosurgery: $200-$500, and Radiation therapy: $3,000-$10,000.

It's important to note that these are just estimates, and actual costs may be higher or lower depending on the specific circumstances. It's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate cost estimate.

Note: I treated both women for less then $1.00 USD if you add the bottle with the eye dropper in…

DISCUSSION.

In both cases I used Sunnyside Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine bought at Rural King back in the paint department.

Brands of Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine available in the USA are:

HUMCO Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine

Diamond G Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine located in Georgia

Sunnyside Pure Gum Spirits Turpentine

Pure gum spirits are a NATURAL, solvent-grade liquid derived from the fresh resin of living pine trees, used primarily as a solvent to thin oil-based paints and varnishes and to clean brushes and equipment. It is distinguished from industrial turpentine, which is a lower-quality by-product of the paper industry containing impurities. Pure gum spirits are known for their high purity, effectiveness, and a fresh pine scent, making it a preferred choice for artists and for certain industrial applications.

In traditional and folk medicine, pure gum spirits of turpentine (or turpentine oil) have been used for a variety of purposes, such as an antiseptic, external anti-sesptic, a chest rub for congestion, pain relief and an internal remedy for parasites.
