Lung Cancer
Posted by K (Alpharetta, Ga ) on 03/09/2014
Hi. I'm new to bloodroot, and have gotten salve from a reputable place, as far as I can tell? It seems really weak compared to some of y'all's stories, though. My mom has stage 4 lung cancer and a small spot on her liver. She's done a lot of chemo and radiation and has now joined the alternative med train! SOS, please, if you know of a quick bloodroot salve. She has limited time to live. This salve we got says roll 1/8 teaspoon into a ball and swallow. The cancer will come out later, in a weak spot. We aren't to apply it to the lung area... But we need a pretty quick healing. Thank you.

I found a long time ago not to take zinc on an empty stomach as it causes nausea. This is probably the cause.

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

Go to tumorx website (I think it's tumorx.com). It's a product sold internally and externally with a manual for proper dosing of bloodroot along with mega doses of enzymes to help with 'clean' up internally. I'm also a natural practitioner and have personally used externally and internally on myself with no ill effects. . . Pulled a bad fungal infection around my ankle right out within a few days.

Application Tips
Posted by Ramji (Amsterdam) on 07/07/2020
Hello Gail,
What about using bloodroot on an ulcerated breast tumor?
Broken through the skin and quite large although right underneath the skin/superficial.. I have bloodroot tincture, I am reluctant to use the black salve since the skin is already open.
Thanks anyone with advice/suggestions!
Application Tips
Posted by Anon (Anon) on 07/08/2020
Total body detox, aloe vera gel, spirulina, crucifer veggies (wasabi is great, easy, fast), sulfur/sulfur veggies, iodine/kelp, vitamins C, D, E, lysine, NAC, molybdenum... No dairy, chocolate, alcohol, cigarettes, birthcontrol pills. Clean up the diet.
That would be a good start.
I would also cut an aloe vera leaf piece big enough to cover the tumor ares, cut it open and tape it over the area with the gel side toward the tumor.
Maybe consider applying Lugol's iodine to the area followed by DMSO before applying the aloe leaf.
There's always cannabis, too.
You might try an activated charcoal poultice over it, too. Especially since it's right under the skin.
Here's the link for the remedies page that can tell you more:

Bloodroot and Children

Ted, what is the bloodroot dosege for a seven yr old child. i've read on this site that 5-10 drops, but is this the same for a child with a tumor. Also is it best for it to be applied on the tumor instead of internally?
Bloodroot and Children
Posted by Ted (Bangkok, Thailand) on 02/01/2010 391 posts
In an adult dose, the dose I listed is a very low dose for an adult. The dose can be higher even for an adult. The limiting factor behind bloodroot tincture use is too much induces vomiting or emetic, which is what is traditionally used. Therefore if a person can take it just below that level and as frequent, this is usually the best dose. Therefore a beginning child dose is often starting at 2 drops and the frequency of dose can be 5 or more times a day. The bloodroot tincture can be applied on and also taken internally for the tumor.

Could you please give me detaled instructions on how your grandmother has applied black salve to moles, skin tags etc. I would appreciate step by step instructions on how to successfully remove above mentioned without scaring.
My body is producing large nb. of skin tags and moles and since I had an operation on my pancreas to cure me of Insulinoma( benign tumor), I'm wondering is this increased production result of my body expelling "nasties" from within.
I'm hoping that by applying black salve I will aid my body to get rid of disease.
Please help, Marina

Blood Root helped elminated skin tags
I have an Bloodroot Extract that has a dry herb strength of 1.4 other ingredients are 55% grape alchol and filtered water.
I have applied the extract directly to skin tags via a Q-tip and also make a tinture out of this to take internally. I use 1 quart warm water with 15 drops of the extract.
My skin tags have both falling off and shrunk - I have been using externally for about a year.
I also noticed that when I started drinking lemon water, they seemed to shrink even more. They used to "sprout" out, now the remaining ones are much closer to the skin.
I haven't been particularly agressive with the treatment, but it certain does work. With this extract, there really is no topical skin burning, however the tags that have fallen off did get swollen and itchy before they "let go".
As to the internal, I can say when I sip the tinture tea, you do get kind of physical "buzz" from it - it must be working!

I've used the salve successfully on a psoriatic (fungal) infection and it worked very well. I used a product that also had dmso in it which helps get it delivered deep into the tissues. It will hurt for a few days, so do small areas at a time if you don't tolerate pain very well.

Hey, I said I'd write back after I finished using the bloodroot paste on a mole on my arm, so here I am! I am mostly pleased with the results. The reason I say mostly is because I seem to have missed a tiny bit of the mole when I was applying the paste, and am left with a tiny speck of mole, about the size of a pen-tip. But the part of the mole that did get covered is completely gone. I had applied a fresh bit of paste to the mole after every daily shower (because the medical tape got wet and uncomfortable, mostly) for a week. A white ring developed around the mole (the part that I had missed didn't get the ring). The surrounding skin was red and felt itchy, rather uncomfortable. At the end of the week, I left the bandage off while in the shower, and when the water hit it the scab that had formed in the center of the ring, it just fell off. I was left with a hole in the skin, not very deep, and it didn't hurt at all. After that, I applied Neosporin and a bandage, kept it changed every day for another week, and after that I stopped applying anything to it at all, not even a bandage. Now it's all healed up,the skin is smooth and there's only a pink mark, and the little speck of mole that I missed. I plan to use the paste again to get rid of the speck.

Right now, I am in the process of using a black salve (bloodroot paste) to treat a spot on my arm. From what I understand from the website of the company that sold it to me, it is working just as it should. I used this product on a similar spot on one of my legs about two years ago and it did the same way and healed completely. Although I did not have these spots diagnosed by a doctor, I believe they are cancerous. (My family has had many cases of skin cancer,including melanoma.) I know of several people who have also used this black salve with great success. I would recommend it to anyone. Hey, try it and if it doesn't seem to work, get to a doctor! Cindy

My husband had a large mole on his back that has increased in size over the years. He's very anti-doctor. After some extensive research he decided to try the bloodroot paste. It has worked perfectly, just as described. Be prepared, it can be VERY painful, especially with a bigger lesion, but he is very satisfied with the results. I am an RN, and I am amazed by the results and complete and total removal of the mole. He now has a nice pink, granulated wound that I'm certain will heal quickly without infection. Had he had conventional surgery, I'm certain he would have had a much larger wound with the probable need for a skin graft. We are very satisfied with the results.

I used bloodroot on my forehead and nose. Cure is the wrong word but it definitely removed basal cell carcinomas VERY effectively.. Definitely as well as in office surgery from dermatologist. I have been fighting actinic Keratosis and basal cell skin cancers going on 20 years. The first 10 years were in the hands of Traditional Medical Doctors and the practices and medicines they can "Legally" prescribe. The last 10 have been with alternative tactics and with every bit as good of results or better than the knife or the creams and products offered by Dermatologist.
It is sad that the FDA has become as big a problem as the problems it was designed to stop. There is no doubt 99% of the people that work for the FDA have good intentions, unfortunately the system is broken and many of them are in denial that it is. It is their job we are talking about.
It is my belief that they have gone too far in stopping companies that sell bloodroot from allowing unsolicited testimonials from being posted on the web because it might give people the idea that this stuff actually works...
It works.. I know.. I am a very experienced and satisfied user and it it frustrates me to no end to think they are denying "we the people" of the right to that information.

Cansema cured 5 skin cancers. my friend told me it cured her melanoma on her leg and so I tried it after two surgeons failed to get rid of mine. Good thing mine wasn't melanoma or I would have been dead! Anyway after 10 days, all cancer came out and it worked 100%. My doctor is very pleased and wishes she could sell it, but it's not FDA approved because it's a simple herb that the pharmaceuticals can't make any money off of. It's sad that there are cures that people go to jail for all in the name of greed. I use cansema from simpledefeat.com and they are great!

Years ago I got a piece of bloodroot from a health food store. I ground it up and mixed it with water and used it as a paste on a blemish I had on my arm, a brown spot. I then taped it so it would stay. Three days later the brown spot was gone. I have since bought bloodroot, even in the powder form, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know why? Is not all bloodroot the same?

I didn't start the bloodroot, it grows wild in my woods. I harvested too much last yr however so my harvest was minimal this yr. It starts easily when u replant the tuber type root but I've no idea how quickly it grows and it requires the right soil and shade which is why its so valuable. I read that bloodroots potentcy is dependent on the altitude in which its grown, fascinating! Someone has the bulbs for sale on eBay right now, 25 of them for $15 but I'd def ask the size of the bulbs prior to purchasing. If there's enuf u could make us own tincture as I did.

Clean wound after Black Salve removed tumors.
I had a dark patch on my arm that became lumpy and itchy, so I applied Black Salve and went through the process of removing several small tumors. Because I have tried several times over the years to remove that mark, there is quite a bit of scar tissue. The crater where the lumps came out is surrounded by dead necrotic tissue, and I'm concerned that it won't heal and fill in properly with all that dead tissue in there. How can I get rid of it without resorting to surgery? I've heard there are enzymatic creams, but I don't have a doctor to prescribe it for me. Any advice welcome!

Posted by Lovescats (Phoenix, Az, Usa) on 08/22/2012
My daughter is taking black salve tablets for polyps in her colon. She has experienced nausea and sweating after taking one tablet that lasts about 30 minutes. She has said if she lays down, she's fine and the feeling does go away. Is this normal? She had tried taking one on an empty stomach, and has noticed it doesn't upset her stomach. I have read in many places that you need to take them on a full stomach, but since she doesn't feel sick on an empty stomach, can she continue taking them without eating? The black salve tablets she uses does not have the zinc cholride, will this black salve work as well as the ones that do have the zinc?
Would the 28 day run protocol be enough since she only has polyps, or should she do the working on a problem protocol? I understand you work your way up to taking four tablets a day, I'm not sure if you need to take a break like you do on the 28 day run or if you stay on the tabs straight through. Also, how long do you stay on the tabs when doing the working on a problem? The instructions she received are not very clear.

Hi thank you for your insight.
I have several moles on my back and just applied the black salve to one that was raised.
My husband roughed it up with a nail file, then applied the salve.
It itched alot two days ago. Day 1.
Yesterday I applied the drawing salve. And put a bandaid back onto it. It is painful and stinging and itching. The skin around it was red and tender.
Today after a shower I will apply more pulling salve.
I didn't think it would hurt like this.
I'm kinda wishing I had left it alone. But maybe it's cancerous and needs to come out.
Do you have the instructions? And what if it destroys my skin down into the flesh?
Just need some help.
