Gunar said: When you say that you are in "day-four of <using> salve", I hope you do not mean that you have been ***applying*** the salve each day? If you have a "good" salve, only one application is needed, and then you just wait out the time till the eschar heals and falls off, with healthy skin below..

Rowena adds: And I can illustrate that. I assumed my husband understood when I said the same thing. I wanted to put the salve on myself, and I would just have put a dot in the middle as per verbal instructions. However, he did it himself while I was asleep, and I didn't get to see it until end of second day. There was a thick crust of salve and scattered debris around, which I cleaned up with VCNO and CS. I did, at his request, apply more, but only to the "lid", not all around. Maybe I was too polite and reassuring in my instructions. Blow me down if after his shower next morning he didn't reapply and put on a new plaster. Horrified me! Last night, had a look - more salve caked around, and the top knocked off the cancer. Cleaned it up again, put vaseline on the plaster, told him to leave it there, shower or no shower. I don't know whether it got dislodged in the shower or just by movement of plaster, possibly ooze sticking the crust to the plaster and then getting bumped or leaned on in the long car drive to work. That was last night. I cleaned up the surrounding area with VCNO then Colloidal Silver then dry tissue to pick up the little crumbs of salve. I really did muse whether to put VCNO instead of vaseline, as I didn't like the thought of petroleum product on the area. But the purpose was just to stop things sticking to the plaster, not to heal, as the skin musn't heal over while the eschar is still coming out. So I left off the VCNO as being too effective, ha ha! However, another thing that shouldn't happen is - the top shouldn't get knocked off! DH had said to me the night before, when I said he didn't need any more of the salve: "If a little is good, a lot is better. I read it in Patrick O"Brian." I just took that as a joke against his obsessiveness, and didn't emphasise enough to him, I suppose, to leave it alone. Dr Maturin had this problem with his sailor patients! The salve gets hard. This forms a crust. The thicker the crust, the thicker the crust. I think it is far more liable to being knocked off as a thick crust than as just a dot on top of the skin covering the cancer. My mother was full of good ideas in her time, too. She went to a local healer (http://www.rhiw.com/pobol/y_ddafad_wyllt_2.htm) for treatment for her skin cancer in the nineteen sixties. He applied whatever secret substances he used. Instructions: lie in bed until the cancer comes out, and don't sweat. My mother's interpretation: Buy a metal vaccination protector from the chemist. Attach bandages and sling it across your back to stop anything knocking the top off your cancer. Then carry on as normal, especially if relatives come to sympathise in your illness. In that case, rush around preparing food until the vaccination protector knocks the top off your cancer. Continue entertaining your guests. Then put cabbage and /or carrot poultices on the wound for weeks until all the pus stops coming out. Allow to heal over with large scar. Live another forty years and die at the age of 99. No wonder nurses get bossy! Rowena (Bruce Fife just wrote to the coconut group that VCNO is the most effective thing he has seen for skin cancer; it actually kills it and it disappears in a few weeks. Apply to skin and also take 4-7 tablespoons a day. Of course, you can take it as food dishes.) -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
