My Story
I tried several ways to get rid of the abnormality on my nose. I did find
aloe vera leaf stuck on a band aid did heal up the broken skin, but the hard
pearl like feeling was still underneath the skin.
After
a week or so of this photo I went to a dermatologist. He took a sample for the
lab. When he took the sample, we had to use 3 different band aides before I left
the office, it was bleeding so badly.
When
the test came back, his office called me to schedule surgery. It would not fit
into my schedule for 5 weeks.
The
next day, for some reason, I was cleaning out an old box of papers. I ran across
an article about black salve. I called the phone number and ordered some.
The day I received it, I applied it. I applied a
little bit every 12 hours for 5 times. It smarted very badly, so I called the
number where I got it from and they told me, it is suggested to apply it once
and then possibly once more, 12 hours later, not 5 times, like I did. It is
important to read directions.
Twice
a day it is recommended to take off band aide and clean with peroxide, then
apply a soft natural balm, and keep band aide on it.
Some
make their own band aides from cotton gauze and skin tape.
It
is so important not to let the area dry out.
24
days after I applied the black salve the core came out on the band aide. For a
couple of weeks, after that, I did keep a balm on my nose to prevent scarring.
I did not go back to the dermatologist.
In January of 2003 I noticed a little bump on my nose, similar to a white head, but it was hard under the skin surface and felt like a little round object. Of course after a week I applied pressure to it�..and it hurt extremely!! I applied everything I had on it and nothing made it clear up and go away. More squeezing, more pain, and then it did bleed�and bleed. It kinda developed a scab like on it��.but still no healing. Just getting uglier and bigger�
I even tried a split stalk of the great Aloe Vera plant. I took a little piece and band aided it in place for several days. Yes, the plant did heal the skin, but there was still something under the surface. So, in June I made a trip to the dermatologist. He took his special tool and took out a hunk; this ain�t going to hurt, Right!! It did and it bled so bad when he did this, the nurse had to apply 3 different Band-Aids, going from small to medium to large and gave me some extra to use on the way home.
The doc told me he would call and let me know the result. The day he called, my son, Alyn, just happened to be at my house. �Well, Mom,� he said, �cancer surgery is done all the time. You are a strong person and we will live through this.�
I had several shows committed to doing and it would be 6 weeks down the road before I could do the surgery.
To get my mind off the surgery to be, I was cleaning, as one does. In the office I was going through a old box of miscellaneous papers I had collected over the years. There it was, a green colored paper that had several products on it and one that caught my eye was: black salve for skin caner!!! And a phone number!! WOW, �THANK YOU GOD� I SAID ALOUD. When I stopped crying for joy, I called the number and ordered some. Finally it came in the mail, I applied it and read the directions. Bottom line, once you put it on, there is no reversing, and you are committed. So, not knowing the time frame it would take to cook and brew to get it all out, I went to all my shows with a supply of Band-Aids, peroxide, cotton balls and a nice balm.
The whole deal was NOT a picnic! At times it felt like bumble bees stinging me. For 24 days I took care of it the best way I could. On the 24th day after I had applied the Black Salve the glob came out when I was changing the Band-Aid. There it was on the Band-aid !!! I remember the day well. It was July 3rd. I still kept a band-aid on it with a nice balm to help heal the hole. As you can see, there is not much disfigurement.
And of course, Alyn called everyday. �You still have the surgery appointment, right?�
On the day the glob came out, I did call the doc and told him to cancel the surgery. He was silent and in ahh��What!!! You can�t cancel, you have cancer!. I told him the cancer came out. What!!
I told him I used Black Salve and he told me I would have had the same results using Vaseline. Dah, if that is the case, why didn�t he tell me that in the beginning?
So, yes, with God�s Blessing my cancer is gone! And yes, if need be I would do it again, knowing how painful it was for me. It probably would have not been so painful, if I would have identified exactly what I had earlier and not 5 months later. What a year 2003 was!
Here is it November of 2006 and I am going strong, in the public, still doing shows.
Alyn and my daughter are very proud of their beautiful mom.
P.S I also did color therapy, the zapper and drank a lot of good tea during this time.
I also went into some cancer support groups and found a lot of support to help me through this time. I love each one of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Proud to be an Iowa Farmers Daughter, surviving many challenges!

Before treatment
Several days after Can-X Black salve was applied
2006
Make salve
1-tablespoon zinc chloride
DMSO (5 drops per 4 ounces of salve)
One tablespoon Charcoal (optional)
Vitamin A, 10,000 IU (more vitamin A can
be added up to 200,000 IU.
Pine tar (one teaspoon to one tablespoon)
Bentonite clay
Dissolve the zinc chloride in one to two
tablespoons of warm distilled water. Use only enough water to dissolve. Set aside. (Be careful with this, do not get it directly on
skin and keep locked from children), and do not breathe fumes.
Mix bloodroot, charcoal and polk root in a
separate container with a little cooking oil, just enough to cover the herbs,
mix well. Carefully add the zinc
chloride and water mixture, stirring well. Use large glass bowl in a heavy pot.
Gently heat the mixture in a double boiler (190 deg) stirring constantly with
wooden spoon for about 20 minutes, being careful not to scorch or burn. Remove
from heat, stir well, let cool, add DMSO.
Next, mix one teaspoon to one tablespoon at a time of the bentonite clay to the bloodroot mixture until you have a smooth, thick paste that is easily spreadable. Do not put too much of the clay into the mixture or it will be lumpy. If the mixture is too thick, add a few drops of oil or water to thin. If too thin, add a small amount more of the clay. The clay is important in this recipe since it helps to draw out impurities from the skin.
You will only need to apply this
paste once. Apply to abnormal skin
cells, cover with gauze and tape, leave undisturbed for 12 hours.
At the end of 12 hours, wash area and clean with hydrogen peroxide.
This can be applied every 2-3 days if you feel you need to, usually one
application is all that is needed for very small areas of abnormal skin cells.
The group of cells should drop off by itself in a couple of days or one
to five weeks. Your may have pain,
fever, stinging, intense itching or burning; this is normal.
You can apply some chickweed salve to the area for the itching, but do
not use anything else such as healing salves.
Healing salves may heal up the area before it has time to kill the
abnormal skin cells.
Every 12 hours or so clean area with peroxide, keep area soft with nice balm and change the bandage.
