I just wanted to post about my experience with Iodine and skin cancer (basal cell carcinoma). I had surgery a few years ago on the right side of my nose to remove a bcc, it came back about 3 months ago, and i decided I'd rather not pay another $700 and go through the ordeal again if i didn't have to. So i read that some people had success with topical iodine. I applied iodine multiple times a day for weeks, occasionally applied magnesium oil and also picked up some DMSO gel to apply over the iodine so that it might absorb deeper and quicker, which it did appear to help. The bcc would scab over multiple times before healing.
Anyway, my bcc is currently in complete remission. I can't say whether it's gone for good, but certainly much easier and cheaper than getting cut up by the skin doc. fwiw.
Great news, James. I know Iodine works for removing moles, suspected it would work for skin cancers too; now I know it is possible!
Maybe not compareable to bcc, but some moles came back after 1 1/2 years; then I removed them again. I now plan to paint the area maybe once a month and see if they stay off this time.
-As you say it comes off in several layers before they are gone; the great thing is that it is no scarring or mark under the moles.
I went on a series of cleanses, using variations of The Master Cleanse and general juicing and fasting, and a mole that had emerged and grown over the last several years gradually dried up and fell off, revealing fresh, new skin underneath.
..."Nyiri and Jannetti also mentioned iodine applied on the skin can be used to shrink swelling of the thyroid gland (goiters). So even small amounts of iodine absorbed through the skin can have good effects on body organs. From my own clinical experience, repeated application of iodine (Lugol’s) to the skin appears to cause regeneration of the skin from the bottom up (Quiescent, stable or stem cell) (3) eventually sloughing the old version of the skin off like a snake molting. If there was a pre-cancerous lesion on the old skin, it is replaced with new skin minus the lesion. There does not seem to be any skin lesions which are not helped or cured by this procedure. In some cases I found clinically obvious low thyroid conditions also needed to be treated to be more effective. Minor lacerations and healing of surgical wounds respond well. If skin regeneration is from the bottom, then there is little or no scar formation"...
Just for clarity, the Iodine i applied was 5% lugols, on occasion i would apply sski during the day if i was going to be out, as it would be less noticeable. It took a good month of daily applications to see results. I feel the DMSO gel was really worth the effort, i started applying that around week 2. I also re started the iodine protocol internally, as i had been taking of break from supplementing in the months leading up to it.
I have had dry skin spots for at least 15 years. Tried a lot of prescription creams and herbals. I got rid of most but there is one the size of a quarter on my leg that was bad. Recently I tried toothpaste on it; I think it is working since it is down to the size of a dime now and hardly visible. Anyone know about this? I like the Iodine reference; will get some - back to what our ancestors used - maybe it will help with spots on hand if toothpaste doesn't correct it.
Unfortunately, my skin type is of irish descent. I grew up and still live in a very sunny region. I doubt their exists any kind of elusive diet fix for genetic predisposition to non melanoma skin cancers. Not to mention i can't undo decades of damage from intense summer days of my childhood or the toxic sludge called sunscreen my mom use to slather on me constantly as a child during the 80s. As far as eating a healthy diet, my diet is pretty good, as far as reducing toxins and things like radiation, unless you have a time machine and can go back in time to pre industrialization era it's pretty much impossible living in the modern world/society to significantly reduce exposure to chemicals/pollution/radiation ect,.
My dad eats one of the healthiest diets of anyone I've ever met, and is fit and young looking for someone in his 60s, but having skin problems like bcc has always been a issue with him. He was impressed by my Iodine results though. :)
I double this one; except my genes arent Irish; Redhead with frecles I was as a kid. Strangely enough this have changed some. I tan easily now; and after coconut oil I hardly burn at all.
My family is full of moles and all kinds of skin tags, pigmentation, inflammation, lupus, cancer etc.
One of my kids have inherited this condition; it will be interesting to see what can be done; with Iodine & co supplementation and change in fats /diet +++.
My 2 cents. Most people need Iodine anyway. See info on the net from Dr. David Brownstein on this.
However, I did not find iodine to be my personal answer.
I discovered a little bump, about 1/2 pea size, on my forehead & it was slightly crusty with crustiness around the whole area. On the net I saw that this matches descriptions of pre cancerous lesions.
I tried topical iodine with no success, also hydrogen peroxide ditto. (Not trying to get religious, just feeling I should give credit where credit is due... I prayed about this YHWH brought me the word "eggplant" later.)
What worked for me was simply rubbing the area with a small piece of eggplant every day, with the white side down on the affected area. It took about a month but now there is no trace of the problem.
There is minimal smell and the smell is just slighly veggie. There is no stickiness or residue no matter how much you do this.
If you search on the net you will see there is an ingredient in eggplant that kills the cancer cells - and they don't come back.
