I've just completed a treatment to remove a Plantar Wart from my foot. I haven't had many of these in my life, but they are quite painful once they reach a certain size, and even more if they are on a part of the body that isn't very big. Commonly they occur on the hands and feet. I can remember one big one on my toe as a child and it getting so bad that my foot would ache from wearing a shoe. I had it 'burned off' at the doctors surgery and the experience was *very painful*, so painful that I remember it vividly even today.
Burning off a wart entails the doctor injecting a local anaesthetic needle into the immediate area (yeah! I know! ouch!!) and then freeze-burning the affected skin with gas. Eventually the wart falls out a few weeks later. Its painful, confronting, and costs a doctor appointment for assessment and then another for treatment, costs of the needle and gas, then more follow up appointments to assess the wound. Its expensive...
The following jpg files will be best clicked on separately and downloaded so you can see the detail and read the notes easily, but the gist of it is that I spent two weeks of the treatment being intense but not overly painful, and two weeks of healing up. Overall costs were approximately $13. The treatment did not stop me doing most things...I run a household and two online businesses, home-educate three children, and am pregnant with my fourth...so I had a fairly full workload and I got around to it all with only a few days being difficult to cope with.
Black Salve is used to treat cancers and tumors in animals, but more people are turning to it as an affordable way of slowly treating small skin cancers with marvelous results. The recipe for Black Salve has been used traditionally for people for approximately 2000years, so there's a fair bit of anecdotal evidence to support its use on humans...however it is not 'approved for use on humans'. Never ever use it on a large lesion without professional help. Only ever use it on an area the size of your thumb pad at a time (that goes for animals and if you choose to use this on yourself too). I was interested to see if it would work on something like a wart virus and evidently, it does :).

Thank you Janette for assuring me I can use black salve on a wart. My eldest daughter has a plantar wart on the underside of her foot which she only recently told me about but has had for some time and is becoming increasingly painful. I know she wouldn't cope with having it cut out and can't really afford to be off work and as I have black salve on hand, I was keen to know if it would work on a wart and will now definitely try to it on her wart.

ReplyDeleteHello Deb
DeleteCan you post a bit of information about your treatment using Black Salve?

Other option: Essential oils have long been recognized in holistic circles for their therapeutic properties. I found a supplier, wart-thwart.com, that premixes these so you don't have to buy all the bottles and mix yourself, which is fairly expensive. This essential oils blend did wonders for me in about 10 days... Hope this helps.
DeleteThanks for posting up the link info. Looks like a good mix of oils there. :)
DeleteYou're very welcome. I hope that your experience with it works well too. As it is on the underside of her foot she will have to have some days where she is immobilised somewhat. Time to buy a few darn good books for her :)
ReplyDeleteIf the 'flu like' symptoms come on strong take some tonic like Astragalus herb or a combination of immune system helpers like Chaga Mushroom and Holy Basil leaf...they will help her body push out the eschar and also remain healthy throughout the treatment hopefully.

How long did you apply the black salve ?
ReplyDeleteHelo Anonymous ;)
ReplyDeleteAs per instructions, I applied it for one night and watched it during the next day. As the the eruption began, I knew the salve and grabbed hold of something, so I applied the black salve to the outer edge of that lesion forming and left it again for another day. Washed off the remaining salve the day after and then kept the lesion bandaged lightly with some paper tape (first aid box kind)for the rest of the treatment.
Hope that helps.
Unfortuneately, Black Salve is banned from sale now, so you will have to buy the ingredients and make it up yourself or find someone willing to give you a little of their stash :)
See 'The Answer to Cancer' DVD for detailed video of making the preparation.
Blessings!

Already watched " One answer to cancer", already bought the ingredients and made the salve.
ReplyDeleteI was looking for people having used it to remove warts and found your testimony.
Today i have applied the black salve to 4 plantar warts that have been with me for the past 25 years.
I am taking pictures. I can post them here if you're interested.
Hello Anonymous above :)
DeleteI would love to know how your treatment using the Black Salve went.

Ah I see, all good then.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best with the treatment and hope you get all the warts out easily. I would have done one at a time ;) but you're a braver soul than me :)
Yes! I am sure we would all like to see how your treatment progresses, that would be fab. Thanks! :)
Many Blessings

An enormous round of applause, continue the great work.

ReplyDeletetwenty odd years ago I used banana peel to remove warts, was actually recommended for planter warts but since these particular warts had been burnt off and re-appeared again I decided to try this. Place the inside of peel over the wart and leave for 3 days, I replaced each day as nothing was left of the peel, I held peel on with bandaid. This got rid of the warts with no problems whatsoever. My son is now 36 and his warts have not re-appeared.

DeleteMy Mother had told me about using Plantain or Banana skin as well. Only remembered it now reading your comment. Glad to know it worked.
I tried out the Black Salve on my plantar wart as I have no skin cancers to try it out on and wanted to see how it worked and what it felt like before my Mother used it on numerous spots she has. (anything to stop the knife disfiguring her again)
Thanks again for taking the time to write a comment. Much appreciated.

.Wonderful to read people avoiding the Dr's for small things like this.. Dr’s seem to do more damage than good these days, even the 2000 American medical journal said that the third cause of death was Dr’s, hospitals and pharmaceutical drugs.. and when hospitals have gone on strike the death rate drops by half.. not good and even with this evidence they still keep doing what they were doing..
ReplyDeleteI have used black salve on a few spots but it has left behind scaring which I hope will eventually go. This time however, I am using Manuka honey which I have read helps to heal without scaring. I used black salve on what I thought was a tiny lump on my nose but it developed into a horrifyingly big size something where eventually a large “what I call gremlin or alien” came out, fully capsulated.. so it must have really been something. Yesterday I also started using Manuka honey for gastro reflux.
Thank you for your comment :) Yes, the eschar that comes out with the BlackSalve treatment can be quite disconcerting,..especially if it has been a largish growth. I have recently helped my mother again remove a larger growth from her cheek/jaw area which was at first only about a quarter the size of a five cent piece, but when it erupted and came out it was about double that size. (!) Nice to know it is OUT though :) Manuka Honey is magic stuff! well done for applying this as a healing salve. The hole does heal up and over but the scar is a little paler than the skin sometimes. Other people I know have used Black Salve treatment and had hardly any noticeable scarring...guess its just an individual thing.

Jannette, my friend and I have been looking for a recipe for black salve for years! You mention that it's in the "Answer to Cancer" DVD. Do you sell that DVD? Or, do you know where I can buy it? I would be ever so grateful to learn how to make it. Thank you!!!
