Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 I used an herbal salve that I make. You can find the recipe on our website. From the home page click on " How to Use Herbs " then " Salves " and scroll down the " Wilderness Family Naturals Healing Antiseptic Herbal Salve " (or something like that). That is the salve. I put it on just about everything. My skin tag when it was really bothering me turned purple and then part of it turned white. I was worried that it might be cancerous. But now it is totally gone. It doesn't exist any more! I put the salve on every morning and evening and if it was very painful I would put a piece of cloth (like a wash cloth under the bra to kind of protect the inflamed area. It did take a while for it to disappear, but it was worth it to just keep using the salve. You might be able to place a sliver of garlic in the salve as well if that doesn't make it too bulky and your bra won't rub it off. Our website is http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com is you want to get that recipe for the salve.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2001 Report Share Posted May 4, 2001 Annette, thanks for the link to your website. I copied the salve recipe so I can make some too. Skin tags are such an annoyance.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Niz, I do not know that this " skin tag " was cancerous. Very likely it was not. Sometimes I fear the very worst, and I was just admitting that I was in a lot of discomfort and was very concerned about it. My understanding is that cancers of any kind are not so simply dealt with. They are a much more complex problem. There are many things that need to be changed and done to arrest cancer. This skin tag actually became inflamed and actually got worse before it got better, but unlike cancer, which continues to grow, this tag, once it began to respond, quickly healed and there is only skin there now. There is no scar and no growth. It is as if the skin tag was never there. I do not feel it was cancer. But it still was not pleasant. If this happened again I would be just as concerned only now I know that it would probably follow the same course. I have not had much experience with skin cancer, but those that I know that have, do not find that it goes away. I do not know anyone that has used natural methods to treat skin cancer. But I believe it would take more than a good salve to arrest the cancer.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Annette, I was asking my question generally speaking. So what you are saying is that if someone removed a mole, skin tag, plantar wart, etc. and it healed well, there was nothing remaining, and it didn't come back, then it would be safe to assume that it was not cancerous? Thanks much, Niz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Niz, I know you were just asking " generally speaking " and I wasn't offended at all. All I can say comes from my summation based on 3 people I know that had skin cancer and some things I have read. And based on those things: skin cancer doesn't just go away. It is serious stuff. It continues to grow and unless you do some radical things with cleansing your body and radically changing many things in your life or go in for surgery the cancer will continue to grow. Cancer is not easily licked. It is a long hard battle. Even skin cancer. But maybe " Doc " has some good advice? I'd be anxious to know what he thinks.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2001 Report Share Posted May 7, 2001 Just to add my 2 cents. About 8 years ago I started developing skin tags under my arms and in other places. My allopathic doctor removed the first few and then said I could clip them off with sharp surgical scissors. He told me they were never cancerous, were common as we aged and it was cheaper for me to remove them than he. He also told me that tags are rarely, if ever, sent for tests. So, since then, I guess I've removed fifty of those little pieces of skin. A snip and they are gone. However, these tags were of skin color, not in any way inflamed or odd in their appearance. Melanoma is a killer and there are signs for it. I have every odd mole or growth checked out because of my fair skin. I also avoid sun exposure as much as I can. But plain old skin tags are just clipped off. Blessings, Janet E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 Dear Niz, Neither warts nor tags are indicative of cancer and according to a Wall Street Journal article I read about a year ago, 75% of all medical diagnoses are wrong which means that you have a 1 in 4 chance of coming away from a medical doctor with a chance of getting well. Looked at in the reverse, you have a 3 out of 4 chance of being made worse by going to a medical doctor. With those odds, I'd rather go to Vegas where they are better, and the only thing I'd be losing is my money. Love, Doc PS. It is a medical establishment tactic to keep us ignorant and in fear of finding out about our bodies and natural health. Trust me, these things are hard to kill. You really have to earn a disease.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 You really have to work at getting a disease. You have to earn it by doing all those negative things (that we know are wrong) for years and years before the average person will actually get chronically ill and that goes for cancer as well. These negative things are not only physical, but mental and spiritual as well. It's bad enough to go around drinking cokes, pots and pots of coffee, alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and eating junk food (includes food bought in super markets), but if you add to that scenario no exercise, negative thoughts, angry words to our loved ones, the leading of an unethical, unspiritual life, you'll find we are well on our way to earning our diseases whatever they might be. Healing, regardless of the disease (including Heart disease and Cancer) becomes automatic when we start doing those things which are healthful from a spiritual, mental and physical viewpoint. It's not necessarily easy to turn around and change a lifestyle just like that and sometimes it takes doing it one step at a time (quit your coffee first and then quit the booze, etc). It takes a very determined attitude which must be maintained 24 hours a day. It must become a life long committment. But to attain a healing, it must be done. As long as there is breath on the mirror, there is hope.

Skin tags are not just a sign of getting older. They indicate that there is a hormonal or dietary problem. They can also be an indication of colon cancer.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 Though I have yet to have skin tags my mother has them quite often. She grows them professionally I think so her docoter told her how to get rid of them at home. Take a dark colored string (so you can see it well) and tie it around the tag as close to the body as you can get. Tie it tight and just leave it, the tag will fall off on its own. Not many people have access to this treatment but my father (a dairy farmer) you can put dry ice on it, like the treatment for warts, and they will fall off as well.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hello, I have had success using Essential oils for skin tags. It might take a few months but what I have used was a good quality oil..Frankincince, oregano sometimes others. I put it on at night when I go to bed, oil of oregano can be a hot oil and lots of people use it diluted in olive oil. Only use great products on your skin. Good luck!
