Can anyone confirm the strength of the iodine solution the formula of which was given at the start of this thread?

My compounding chemist said it is 28% iodine and not 7% as expected. 28% is ALOT stronger than 7%. I have switched from 5% lugols to the 28% solution and I have had to reduce the number of applications at each 'sitting' from 5 to 2 due to my eye tearing up from the fumes. It seems to soak into the skin alot quicker too or perhaps it is just evaporating more quickly.

The 5% lugols has not worked as hoped on my BCC. The sodium bicarbonate solution I have been using on the inside of my eye has not reduced the inside BCC either. But I will persevere with the stronger iodine solution.

Thanks for your kind words D.B.Lawton. I lost a mother to chemotherapy so I'm determined to explore all options and use surgery only as a very last resort. The first 2 weeks after the diagnosis I was in a bit of a panic but now I feel confident that I will somewhere find a cure - maybe with Iodine. Will post results soon.

Thank you Toni for the references to the documetries and sites. I will check them out. I saw reference to Gerson in the same video that referenced the iodine therapy. More and more access to the real answers are hidden as big co's do not want profits threatened. Take some research but is worth it.
D.B.Lawton Posted - 04/14/2013 : 09:46:52
Wow. I applaud your inventiveness, as well as your courage. That is a scary place to have a carcinoma. I am sure that the iodine will do the trick. The bicarbonate, as well. Dr. Simoncini is a true healer, which is everything that any doctor should be. He deserves to be rewarded for his forward thinking, and his desire to actually HELP people. What an evil world we live in, where people such as Dr. Simoncini are vilified and persecuted, all because he is trying to CURE someone.
Congratulations to you for having the courage to treat this on your own. Keep us posted!

I have a BCC on the edge of my lower eyelid on the outer skin surface and it also wraps around and continues to the inside of the eyelid a little.

I tried a Vitamin C solution on the outer BCC for a few weeks but it seemed to have little effect so I changed to a 5% Lugols solution on the outer BCC and a sodium bicarbonate solution on the inner BCC as recommended by Dr Simoncini on his website.

Initially I had big problems trying to apply the Lugols so close to the eyeball as my eye would sting and water profusely almost immediately and apart from being quite painful it also washed away the iodine.

I thought that maybe my eyelashes were spreading the iodine to my eyeball when I blinked so I removed the upper and lower eyelashes around the effected area (I have read that these will grow back in 7-8 weeks). But this did little to help.

So then I thought that maybe it was the fumes from the iodine that were floating up to the eyeball from the treated area, so I tried lying down on the floor so the fumes would float straight up and not into the eyeball, closing my eyes to protect them still more, and asking my partner to apply the iodine. This has done the trick! No more tearing up! I also apply the sodium bicarbonate solution whilst lying down at a different time of the day so it doesn't wash away the iodine.

If you are living alone it would be more difficult to use this method but still possible. My partner uses an LED 'miners' light strapped to her forehead (looks quite funny) which allows her to use one hand to pull down the eyelid a little and the other to apply the iodine with a tiny paint brush. If doing it alone you would need to position a table lamp exactly, hold a mirror with one hand and the brush with the other whilst pulling the eyelid down with your pinky from the hand holding the brush.

I've been applying the iodine for 3 weeks now and it has just started to form the first scab, so two more scabs to go. No real outcome yet but it looks promising.

re: " I have a severe thyroid condition and am not to have iodine products. I worry about using this wonderful treatment due to the iodine I would absorb.

If you read the files at the Yahoo iodine group, you will find info from dr Abramham re 10-12% absorbable for transdermal I2.
http://www.optimox.com/pics/Iodine/updates/UNIOD-02/UNIOD_02.htm

Other files suggest that lugols is helpful for the thyroid by pushing out floride and bromide. I am on thyroid meds and have built up to 50 mg per Day of I2/KI. I feel it helps with cancer.

I also use enzymes learned about from dr-Gonzalez.com, reading his books and listening to MP3 lectures by him.

I try to eat as much grass fed meat as I can, since one of his cases indicated he puts all his melanoma patients on red meat.
Note for a different tumor type cancer, dr G may recommend a vegetarian diet. It depends on your ancestrial type. Google One Answer to Cancer for more free info on this protocol.

Detox is my current exploration area. Also reading Brian Peskin's info and may back off the high fish oil I have been using. A bloodtest showed that my arachidonic acid was very low. This confirms one point Peskin raises.
Toni5671 Posted - 03/12/2013 : 08:50:40
I began my journey with this forum a couple months ago when I discovered that I had a very small lesion on my chest. It was like a scab that wouldn't go away. I remembered seeing Dr S on Doug Kaufman's TV show called Know the Cause which teaches how cancer is a fungus and how we need to stay away from all refined, processed foods because those are the kinds of foods that the cancer feeds off of.

I am a relatively healthy 41 year old. I'm very active, I run marathons and have been eating a mostly vegetarian diet for the past few years but, to be completely honest, I still found myself indulging in the processed garbage and comfort foods quite regularly. Let's face it, ice cream and potato chips taste good! However, upon discovering my lesion, I realized that my skin was an outward manifestation that my body was not as healthy as I had hoped. I knew that I needed to get serious about what I was putting in my body because you are, after all, what you eat!

About the same time I started treating my lesion with Lugol's iodine, I also started researching diet and nutrition because I was not just interested in making the lesion go away, I wanted to make my body a cancer fighting machine to insure that no type of cancer would ever come back again!

This is where I'm going to bombard you with information that, if you take the time to immerse yourself in it and make the necessary changes as I did, you will find hope and healing for your body...

There are lots of interesting documentaries that discuss the topic of how diet is directly related to the 2 biggest killers of the western world: heart disease and cancer. If you have NetFlix or Amazon Prime, look up the documentary Forks Over Knives. It is compelling and life changing. I would also highly recommend Food.inc, Food Matters, Hungry For Change, and Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Along with those documentaries, I would also highly recommend the books "The China Study" and "Healthy at 100".

I can't say that I agree 100% with all the dietary advice given in every one of these publications but it's definitely a giant step in the right direction. I currently follow a very strict diet of 100% raw fruits and veggies. Most people would say that my diet is a bit extreme but I would suggest that dying of cancer or having your chest cut open for a coronary bypass is EXTREME. Since reading the book The 80/10/10 Diet and adopting it's 100% raw vegan lifestyle, I have never felt better. It's so liberating to know that, if I feed my body the nutrients it requires, it will not only function optimally but it can prevent all sorts of chronic illness/disease and actually reverse many of the signs of aging along with whatever ill health I have suffered as a result of the years of abusing my body with the Standard American Diet.

Just remember, there are no shortcuts or miracle cures. It takes day after day, month after month, year after year, etc. of making the right decisions in a world where comfort and convenience reigns supreme. This is a BATTLE, it's a battle for your life and vitality, but the good news is it's winnable! So fight and fight hard that you may come out victorious!

Here are a few little teasers to get you started on your journey to wellness:

Just came upon this thread last nite. I had googled Dr. S's iodine treatment. Some good info. Keeping the bc's away has been a loosing battle since I was diagnosed. At first I had monthly cryo sessions at a clinic, after having one surgically removed. This surgery left me w/ painful nerve damage and filing for disability in 09. It also triggered fibromyalgia and a whole host of health stuff. The pain still shoots thru the area where the the surgery was and is like being stabbed w/ a big knife. I don't leave the house, if someone touched me there and they have, it becomes ER time and weeks of severe pain. I will never be cut again!!! If that means death so be it.

What has been working for me is C-herb, but can only treat 1 area at a time. AS I treat one 2 more come up. I no longer have access to the cryo treatments and all they do here is cut cryo is not in their vocabulary-only cutting, so this sounds good. I have a severe thyroid condition and am not to have iodine products. I worry about using this wonderful treatment due to the iodine I would absorb.

I wonder though if the baking soda peroxide paste would be beneficial to me instead. There is 3% they sell at the drug store and 20% food grade they sell at the health market. Which one would work in the paste?

I'd prefer the 3% as it's easier and cheaper to come by and I don't have to worry about being burned by the bottle seeping.

I bought a can of what is essentially histofreeze [cryo in a can used by some clinics], but a better brand that was mailed out to me today, so I can freeze if needed, the areas I can't hit w/ c-herb, but still, freezing is not as natural as say baking soda. So I would prefer to figure out best way to use baking soda paste.

regarding gloe's post of 8/8/2012 quoted below
Can you mention docs name and elaborate on his cancer prevent/treatment protocol?
I have started using the enzymes 15 twice a day. I got this from the Kelley/Gonzalez protocol. Google: One answer to cancer.


"My alternative doctor (actually a well known alternative cancer doctor in NYC, who I have been seeing for almost 20 years for chronic fatigue syndrome) recommends the vit c paste treatment. You make a paste from vit C (ascorbic acid powder) put it on in the a.m., leave it all day; wash it off in the p.m., and reapply paste. Keep it on all night and repeat for a total of 7 days. He also recommends taking 10 caps of pork pancreas (Allergy Research Group brand) 3 times a day on an empty stomach. It must be on an empty stomach. If you take pancreas with food, all it will do is help digest your food. I wait at least 2 hours before/after a meal to take pancreatic enzyme caps. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I get up and take more.
logicman Posted - 03/08/2013 : 15:32:59
Some observations since my last post.

Re
The formula is
7 grams iodine
5 grams potassium iodide
5 mls distilled water
alchool to reach 25 mls
All the best
Tullio Simoncini

I just noticed that this formula is not a 7% lugols that you can purchase at

http://www.ebay.com/sch/the_full_orchestra/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686

It is much stronger wrt I2 (iodine).
7% lugols has 7g I2 in a 100 mL solution.

dr Simoncini's has 7g I2 in only 25 mL solution. This is 4 times stronger wrt I2.

Regarding KI (potassium iodide): 7% lugols contains 14g KI in 100 mL solution.

dr Simoncini's has 5g KI in 25 mL. This is 1.42 times stronger wrt potassium iodide.

I see now why Simoncini had to add some alcohol to his 5 mL of distilled water. The iodine (I2) will not dissolve in water with that concentration and proportion to KI.
Iodine (I2) does not dissolve in H2O. You either use alcohol, some other solvent or, as Lugol's discovered before the Civil War, you mix in "enough" KI to dissolve the whole mix in distilled water. Up to around 7% I2 concentration, "enough" is twice as much KI.

I made 100 mL of 7% lugols using chemicals available at full orchestra. I put 7 g I2 and 14g KI in a mason jar and added around 79 mL distilled H2O. Let sit overnight and stirred it up. You can google how to make lugols and watch a U-tube.

For treating skin cancer lesions I now cover the lesion with DMSO first before applying the 7% lugols. DMSO is penetration enhancer and anti inflammatory.

Below is a quote from the DMSO group at Yahoo. Note, he used I2 not KI. Note also the last sentence.

"I have used two different elements to treat squamous cell skin cancer, tagemet pill, anti acid from wally world, dissolved into a paste with adrop of water, and mixed with tsp dmso, and applied several times a day. I also have used elemental iodine, which is iodine crystals dissolved in drinking alcohol, at about a five percent mix, followed w/ dmso several times a day. Both worked equally well.
I have both basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, and *not* melanoma.
Interesting thought that dmso may work alone, I shall give that a try next time I get one. I live in wes tex a lot of sun here daily, seen a lot of ol cowboys w/ half their ears cut off, noses and faces botched up with surgery. sad it does make me. It is very simple to use the two above procedures, no surgery, no freezing, and with a lighter wallet, None of which that I removed were dxed, but on the other hand, that is the left hand, I have had some twenty to thirty burned or cut off that were dxed, so I believe what I removed myself were the real deal, When my immune system, white blood cells fall below three thousand, I begin getting skin cancer, so ultimately the responsibly of the immune system be the cause of my skin cancer."

I think I'm fighting actinic keratosis on my breast. Here is the picture day 4 after applying iodine 7% once a day only.
Jason79 Posted - 02/24/2013 : 11:36:41
Always great to hear about successful stories.

Mine is still going on, positively, I think. After nearly 4 months and 4 iodine application cycles, my wound seems to on its way. It's now completely covered by skin (has never been since I had the bcc), however it had "hot spots" under the very fragile skin for quite a while. I can still see a darker shade of pink under the new skin, and unsure whether it's part of the healing or a residue of the bcc. I'll wait for the surrounding area to completely heal before trying a new series of applications. The treatment left me a very large "scar", it's like when you burn yourself with the muffler of a motorcycle. The surrounding area is still darker, but healing. The pink spot in the middle is covered in skin, and about the size of... don't know.... like one of the buttons of a cordless phone. It took MUCH time to get to this point, but my bcc developed to the state of a big ulcer, the size of a quarter.

Oh.... so the clear also burned? Hmm.... I tell ya... that 7% tincture burned.... and burned longer that 5 minutes. In fact, that was when I knew that it was time to re-apply..... when it quit....lol. Hell man, I been roofing houses for 36 years.... I reckon pain is just a part of accepted life, to me.

Hey DB I know the burned like hell thing with my concoction but to be clear, after application how long did it burn for you? Again for me certainly bad for the first few minutes but at least in my case subsides after about 5 minutes...do you agree?
Toni5671 Posted - 02/18/2013 : 07:18:11
I used the weaker J. Crows Lugols Solution 2%. I thought I had ordered the 5% but I guess not. Anyhow, I sent away for the 12% white iodine and I like it better because its clear but I honestly don't think it works any better.

Thank you. Wasn't sure if there was a difference in quality since some versions were way cheaper than others but didn't want to take any chances so I ordered the more expensive SSKI Wweetwater stuff from UK.

Wondering if anyone can tell me where to purchase the clear 12% iodine that Lawson mentioned. Thank you
Russky Posted - 01/22/2013 : 18:07:53
Jason79, I agree with you. Chemical peel it is for my kind of skin problem.
I was reading somewhere that atom of iodine has characteristics that confuse bacteria into thinking it's atom of oxygen. Iodine clogs their oxygen receptors and bacteria dies.
Iodine probably has more than one action to produce dramatic results like Mr. Lawton's.

Probably chokes candida too. Just thinking aloud.
Thank you for pain encouragement! Quite unbearable.
Russky Posted - 01/21/2013 : 15:53:49
Toni5671 Not to ignore you I'll say I don't have opinion on 2% Lugol. My mom was using ethyl alcohol based iodine tincture.
Toni5671 Posted - 01/21/2013 : 08:56:25
I purchased Lugol's on Amazon and just noticed that it says 2% on the label. Can I use that since I already have it or did I just waste my money?
Russky Posted - 01/16/2013 : 18:09:33
Hi Mr. Lawton,
Today was a big day. After 7 weeks of applying iodine scab #3 fell off. Alliluia! White clear skin, no sign of original 'head'. As a bonus varicose vein next to 'head' is gone too.
Dr. Simonchini is genius. My mom never succeded with iodine because she was using 2% iodine. 5% Lugol was sold without prescription but we had no clue to use it on skin. Pediatrician prescribed me Lugol but only to cover strepthroat glands area inside my throat. It was mixed with glycerin.
You and Chuck broke through layers of my prejudice toward iodine as being ineffective.
Thanks a lot!

Russky Posted - 01/11/2013 : 16:40:19
Hi thewind777,
I read the whole board. Nice of you to update us.
I can chime in as foreigner from country with heavy iodine use. Nobody ever developed any complications from iodine use on my watch.
And I was medically trained including internship at cancer hospital. My mom was big user of iodine. She died at 72 from stroke never suffering any side effects from iodine. I thought it was unsafe but facts speak for themselves. She was right. Iodine was safe.
TheWind777 Posted - 01/09/2013 : 10:31:25
I would like to get back to everybody seeing that I used Iodine extensively on 'liver spots', facial 'psoriasis' (now I would say that it was probably a dermal fungus) which had gotten to itch really bad, was quite bright-red and covered the sinus area of my face, and thick pad-like spots on my arms which can be scraped-off with my fingers if I try hard enough.

The last time I spoke it was 07/17/2011 and it is now 01/09/13.

First, iodine applied ten to 15 times-a-day is how it is done. Know, though, that this might not be a safe thing to do. You better have a really bad problem. Don't just willy-nilly paint iodine on yourself. Christine was doing that. She put iodine on the white spot on her arm for about a year. She now has hypothyroidism where her TSH values around around 4 and she's taking pills to try and bring it down. She doesn't have Hashimoto Syndrome (if she did, the iodine treatments would have probably been disastrous to her.

Also, she was using iodine to try and get a brown spot off her face. It is still there, the 1/2" white spot is still there.

Whether she would have gotten the hypothyroidism without having put on all that iodine is unknown. But, if you already have a problem with hypothyroidism... don't use repeated iodine and don't be super-vigilant with it.

From my own experience, I had mixed experience. It did incredibly well on the 'psoriasis' on my face. I now use only hydrogen peroxide when it starts to turn a bit pink or starts being a bit scaly; and that backs-it-off again. Didn't get rid of it, but certainly stopped the incredibly-itcy nature of it. I would say it was 90 percent good at getting rid of that.

As far as spots go, if you paint it on your arm... then spots appear that you didn't even know were there. You then apply it on those spots and they (eventually) go away. However, afterwards, a dark spot remains. I'm glad it's my arm and not my face because I would now have dark spots on my face and not just on my arm.

Also, it seems to aggravate some spots. It seems to make them grow where they weren't growing before. They seem to go away, then in a few months they grow back (worse than they were before).

At other times it makes them go away forever. Most times it will leave a permanent brown spot where it occurred that doesn't go away with further application. It is just a brown spot afterwards. Don't use it on your face, then.

I am, right at this moment, coating some spots on my right arm; so, obviously, I do still think it works better than anything else I've ever tried (nothing else doesn't anything) and don't worry about getting hypothyoidism. I think it was just a coincidence that she got high TSH numbers, probably unrelated to her applications.

In her case, nobody ever said the white patch even COULD be gotten rid of. It wasn't what people typically try and get rid of. It's definitely better than it was. It is more like normal skin and less like a white patch.

The spot on her face is about the same as it was before.

In my own case, my skin literally burns. It is like the iodine burns me. That didn't occur with her. That's probably why it works with me. It's like I'm getting a chemical peel. Afterwards the skin peels-off and nice skin is below.

For those who say they're applying it twice-a-day or such. It does nothing if you just do it a couple-times-a-day. You might as well be putting water on it. You have to coat it at least 10 times to see the effect (and you definitely will see effects, depending on whether it is something that iodine will get rid of).

If you were to ask me? I think they're wrong about psoriasis. I now think that psoriasis, and any other thing that you use iodine on and it goes away is actually some kind of unknown organism such as a fungus, yeast, or micobacteria (or even some other living thing that they haven't identified yet). Either that or it is a virus... that's why it comes back again.

Their concept that the body is fighting itself is basically crap. I think the body is fighting itself because THERE'S SOMETHING THERE AND THE BODY CAN'T GET RID OF IT SO IT JUST STARTS FIGHTING ANYTHING, INCLUDING YOUR BODY.

Medicine is definitely NOT science. They pretend they're science when they're ALL just quackery. Their tools are flawed. Medicines are not created by caring people and aren't really created by scientists. They're created by chemists and because they are creatd by companies, there is no heart in it. They just want to get money. They don't care that something gives you 37 different 'side-effects'.

I think simple remedies work better than complex chemical remedies. I would rather use a simple thing like iodine, or lemon juice, or tea tree oil, or oregano oil, or salt than use all their toxic chemicals.



D.B.Lawton Posted - 01/02/2013 : 08:37:09
I am interested to see the finished product, Russky. Especially in this case. This should definitely prove to any doubters that Dr. Simoncini's treatment is the real deal. It will be nice to see you cleared up, and healthy again.
Russky Posted - 12/25/2012 : 23:00:39
Well, second scab is still there. Dark and resisting. 12 days old.
Total 28 days of iodine covering. About 5 of the heads appeared in my wide margin. Now they go through iceberg period.

Sore and dripping limpha sometimes. 6 mm in diameter.
Absolutely resisted all my efforts to remove it with 7% iodine before.
After reading Chuck and Lawton discussion I 'saw the light'.
I bought 7% iodine a while ago but used it to cure eczema and keratosis.
Both of those doctor diagnosed. Just peeled off after spraying many times with iodine (but only once daily)
I didn't know anything about treating skin cancer with iodine.
Now I see the trick: painting 3 times a day.

My neck problem as seen by IPhone. Had it since 1991. Seen many doctors. They see nothing and offer me prozac.
Covered it twice with iodine and got 'iceberg' big time. Hurts a lot. Like Jason. Need painkiller.
Now back to my leg.
So I'm in day 4. 'Iceberg' popped as big as small chicken egg at the store.

Looking at WebMD it's probably keratosis head. BCC underneath, dead skin on top.
Thanks to Carol for brush idea.
Will update.
Cheers!

Keep up the good work, Russky, after some time, the pain gets manageable. If the wound is bigger, it will hurt more.

Mine now is completely covered with new skin, whoa! However, there's still 4-5 very little "hot" spots, in a very little area (smaller tan the original bcc), so I'll start a new treatment, it should take way less. Skin is still peeling every 1-2 days, and the whole area is not "clear" yet.

Something I noticed while trying to snap a picture, is that a cellphone camera is GREAT in showing the real extent of the healing process.
If you turn the phone camera flash-led on, and point it to the wound, it would reveal MUCH better than the eyes, the parts of the skin that healed, and the parts that are still "in progress".

D.B.Lawton Posted - 12/03/2012 : 18:43:03
Actually, Russky.... I paint mine on several times each day, carrying the bottle around with me and giving it a good soaking each time. My bottle came with an "eye dropper" on the lid, and I just use that as an applicator, and it works quite well.
Second scab fell off today (great news!) and I am still applying several times a day. Glad you are starting to have good results. Dr. Simoncini deserves the Nobel Prize. It is disgusting what they are doing to him.

Glad to hear your success, Jason. I had another spot come up on my face. Same side, but down at the bottom of my cheek. Already had first scab fall off. Waiting for second. Sigh..... at least we know a good cure, huh?
Jason79 Posted - 11/25/2012 : 17:41:02
Well, the bumps disappeared almost completely, except for the one on the head that I've been treating with iodine, I'm still working on that.

The big bump near the original bcc, on the leg has gone. The surrounding area has now mostly healed, leaving no scar, but a round white spot of new skin (I hope it will revert to my skin's color eventually, with time). The second scab fell off leaving just a very little area where the skin is still unformed. I'm still applying iodine there, daily. The third scab is now as big as the original bcc, although when the second fell off, the still-to-heal part was smaller, so it seems to me it's working. The pain has been, for the last two weeks, completely manageable, it just got a little worse each time a scab fell. I'd say that in about two weeks this third one should come off with the skin completely reformed. I hope!
Jason79 Posted - 11/06/2012 : 16:55:54
Now, something strange to report. As Chuck mentioned in his posts, other "dormient" spots rose up. One, about half an inch, came up very soon like a bump and has been treated together with the main one. In the last week I experienced a red spot on the left leg which seems to be disappearing by itself, another "goosebump" irritation on the right leg (but far from where the main bcc is). Also, a little lump in the back of the head, which also looked like a bcc and now I'm also treating with iodine, and another on the jaw, hurting like a big pimple below the skin. Is it possible that with the continuous application of iodine on an open wound, iodine "woke up" other potential bcc spots? I'll see a doctor if these spots don't go away in a couple of days (maybe it's just an allergy reaction, even though I'm not an allergic subject), but just wondering.
Jason79 Posted - 10/29/2012 : 17:33:25
Totally :) (fingers still crossed, have been and will be for a while)
D.B.Lawton Posted - 10/28/2012 : 13:43:50
The whole treatment idea is that the iodine kills the candida abicans. Many posters here are using Lugol's without the alcohol. I used the alcohol solution, myself. The burning was no big deal to me. Just felt like it was working....lol

Glad to hear that this is working for you. THAT is the bottom line, ain't it?
Jason79 Posted - 10/28/2012 : 13:21:01
Thank you. The first scab as I said came off after one week, but with the skin underneath not completely formed. Now, after nearly another week, the scab is starting peeling on the outside. Now the scab covers the original bcc only.
The pain has got better, after the first scab came off it was the worst.

I'm still going with the alchoolic solution because what I believe is that basically iodium and alchool basically do a chemical burn on the skin. BCCs are also treated with cryotherapy, which basically burns the tissue. Can't rule out the fungus origin of bcc, but what we're doing here seems to me a controlled chemical burn of the area. Fingers crossed.
D.B.Lawton Posted - 10/25/2012 : 18:00:55
Gee.... sorry, Jason. I haven't been on this forum in quite some time.
My experience, if youlook back on my posts was first scab falling off at day 12. Second scab took another 11 days, as did the third and final scab.
Man, if the pain is that intense, you should get Lugol's iodine, which contains no alcohol. It can be easily found on either E-Bay or Amazon.

Carole.... so GLAD to read of YOUR updates! Good for you! Stick with it, and dont give up, y'all! If you have any questions at all... there is a link earlier in this thread directly to Dr. Simoncini's website. What a wonderful man he is!
Mexico Posted - 10/23/2012 : 06:52:33
Just a quick note here. Yes it probably has to do with size and how much time it has been there. I just did a small one and it only took 3 weeks for 3 scabs to form. It looks very good this morning after stopping the iodine for 3 days. I'll see if it holds. Sometimes a second round is necessary if you stop too early.
Jason79 Posted - 10/23/2012 : 05:53:12
Thank you so much Carole. This morning I found the original scab completely lifted, after exactly a week of soaking, although the skin below hasn't completely reformed. However, there's new skin even on the wound, something that hasn't been there for a while. Challenge is to see if this new layer will generate an ulcer or not. Put iodine againe, worst pain ever and again painkillers.
Carole Posted - 10/22/2012 : 10:48:06
I've been treating my BCC since early august and it looks much, much better, however, at the moment I'm waiting to see what it looks like since most of the scab has come off for the third time on the worst area(don't know if this is good or not but it has seemed so long that I've been working on it that I thought I'd just see what it looked like IF the entire thing will come off, otherwise I'm going to begin putting on the iodine again right away). Mine had been there for probably at least four years so I think that is why it seems to be taking so long. It seems like it must have taken most of two months for the scab to come off the first time but I didn't make note of it.

We are each learning from the experiences of the ones before so I am wishing you the best in your attempt, too!
Jason79 Posted - 10/22/2012 : 04:19:07
Yesterday the bubble broke, the wound started leaking. Despite the pain I kept applying iodine, the main scab is starting to lift on the borders, the outside area is just dead skin covering the wound now.
The iodine reaching the fresh but still not completely formed "new" skin burnt a lot worse than I could ever expected. I nearly blacked out a couple of times, and had to resort to painkillers (Tramadol) for the first time to be able to sleep.

Is anybody still following this thread? How long did it take for you for the first, second and third scabs to fall? Were the second and third scabs less painful?
Jason79 Posted - 10/20/2012 : 17:26:38
Update. All around the spot now is a big corona bubble/blister. It's like a volcano. Internal scab, still the size of a quarter, thick and lower. The edges however are starting following the profile off the blister, detaching from whatever it's below it. Still hurts with stingy pain, but almost no sensitivity in the area, high sensitivity in the borders, that are painful to touch. Will wait, keep applying iodine, and see.
Jason79 Posted - 10/19/2012 : 15:15:17
Hello all, and thanks everybody for sharing so much useful information about the bcc treatment with iodine.
Some background info on me: 33yo, male, caucasian. Not quite the typical skin cancer subject because my skin is not really pale, brown eyes and hair. I don't have my thyroid anymore, has been completely removed after it developed a tumor.
My bcc initially it just seemed a little wound on my leg the size of a cent, that no matter what, it never healed, becoming a small ulcer. It then grew bigger to the size of a quarter. The wound hasn't healed, and it's like a hole in the skin, whose level is a little higher than the surround skin (like a bump). Before trying surgical options, I decided to try the iodine treatment, three days ago. Bought 7% alchoolic iodine tincture, and started the treatment.

The first day I applied iodine in large quantities, covering the bcc and the surrounding area. Needless to say, it burnt like hell, since the wound basically has no skin on it. I applied continuously the whole day, suffering a lot but trying to manage the pain. The wound looked scary, because the iodine very quickly created a large black scab that looked like dead (burnt) tissue. I kept soaking with iodine. The day after, the wound itself was a little more clear than the surrouding area. Kept applying iodine tincture the whole day. Still burns like hell, as now, and in some moments I feel "something" is happening on the wound like feeling a drop that isn't there, or feel like a thousand needles tickling it from the inside. The scab is quite dry, I soak it with iodine, wating for it to get dry again after 10-15 minutes. Then I apply again.

Today I went to work, applied iodine this morning, the wound was black, so it didn't "clear" overnight. I put a loose bandage to let the wound breathe. This evening, back from work, the wound looks WAY scary. The center is a solid and thick scab, surrounded by bubbles, like you may have after a mild-to-severe burn. The bcc itself has astonishingly lowered its height. It's the same level with the rest of the leg skin, while has always been a bump, lately. It's surrounded by these bubbles, which I'm not sure whether to pop with a needle or not. My guts tell me not to do it. I'm "feeling" something is definitely happening, but the pain is awful.

Will keep you guys posted about how it's going, I sure hope it will be another successful story like the one in this thread. I have to admit I'm a little scared.
Carole Posted - 09/23/2012 : 10:12:43
Finally, the iodine scab on the original cancer has come off for the first time this a.m. That is about a week less than two months! The scab had become so thick from applying iodine that I wondered how it could even penetrate the area but it must have done so because the area certainly looks better than before I began treatment. Some days recently it was itching incredibly and yesterday it was burning a lot. I’ve continued to be consistent even though I’ve wondered if it was ever going to come off. Two days ago the scab came off for the third time on the second and smaller cancer that developed within the last several months on the right side of my nose; there is no scaring and the skin is very smooth! Again, I want to say “Thanks” to everyone posting on this site previously for taking the time to document their experiences for those who find this site later, giving each of us the courage to go the natural route, saving lots of pain and expense instead of just having a cancer cut out time and again.

That picture says it all! I'm still working on mine. The iodine patch on my second one to develop came off for the second time today. The lower portion of the first one came off yesterday but the bigger portion of that one is still being treated and I'm waiting for it to come off. It must just be much deeper in that area than the other areas. (I've been working on this for over a month now.) It has been there for at least four years I know and I didn't want to use the only thing I knew of which was Black Salve so it most certainly has continued to grow underneath. Anyway, I have the time to wait and this definitely is the best method I've ever heard about to do the job so will continue with the iodine.

D.B.Lawton Posted - 08/18/2012 : 10:05:34
Hey Carole... that is great to hear! Yes, I kept wondering the same thing.... was the scab ever gonna come off? It will, and you can see in this photo that the skin is quite new and shiny looking. I am amazed, and well pleased. One more crust to go on this, and it should be done!

Carole Posted - 08/18/2012 : 06:35:35
Darryl,

That is wonderful! I'm still waiting on mine to come off the first time. I believe I began using iodine on August 2 so wondering if it is possible that it is taking so long because the first spot has been there probably at least four years. Actually, I was painting a big portion of my nose as it had become rough, almost like sandpaper with little spots here and there but, little by little, small portions of the iodine crust peeled off and it looked very smooth so it just leaves two spots, one on each side of the bridge of my nose about halfway between my eyes and the end of the nose, which I've continued treating. I guess it is a learning process but this is certainly much easier than a MOHS surgery would have been. I don't even mind the stinging anymore.
D.B.Lawton Posted - 08/17/2012 : 22:13:59
Well....the second crust fell off when I was drying off after my shower this evening. This is..... what? The seventh day since I lost the first crust? I will wait until in the morning to take a photo in the daylight. I have put iodine on it after my shower. It looks even a little better than it did when the first crust dropped off. So, if Dr. Simoncini's posts are accurate, I am now waiting for the third and final crust or scab to form and it should be healed when that one drops off.
D.B.Lawton Posted - 08/12/2012 : 20:44:52
AAArrrggghhh!!! It is days like today that I am GLAD that I am using the 7% TINCTURE with alcohol! This thing is itching me like CRAZY!!!
D.B.Lawton Posted - 08/11/2012 : 09:42:50
Wow, Carole.... that is interesting. I read a LOT of info on the black salve, which is also called bloodroot paste, and from what I can gather on that stuff, it is a Native American cure, and most importantly, you MUST be very careful who you buy it from!
There is some propaganda on a site called Quackwatch, and the doctor there uses the experiences of a few people that all bought their black salve from Alpha Omega Labs, which, unfortunately, uses sulphuric acid in their product, which ate holes in people. The one thing to consider here is that not all black salves contain sulphuric acid. I would not put ANYTHING with sulphuric acid on my face..... or anywhere else on my body. Of course, Quackwatch seeks to stop people from seeking out anything other than traditional, treat-the-symptoms medicine.


I am in agreement with you on the black salve/bloodroot paste. I would use it on any other part of my body, other than on my face, and I certainly would not use it on my nose...... which is why I opted for the iodine treatment for my issue.

As for mine, in the first photo with my daughter, you can see that the slightly discolored spot on my right cheekbone is hardly noticeable..... but boy, when the iodine began its work, it shocked me to see how large it really was.

I am once again applying the iodine, and am excited to see what differences there will be in this second scab formation. Will post photo before and after the second one drops off.
Carole Posted - 08/10/2012 : 11:58:30
Darryl,

I really am thankful for those pictures and they show in such detail how this all works. Obviously, it takes patience. I'm not sure what day I began using the iodine but it was right around the first of August so yours are ahead of mine by several days, it appears. It looks that it might not take as long as I had thought but the original one and largest of mine has been there for possibly as long as four years and may not be as large as yours appears to be. It's just that there are some smaller ones involved (and we were certain it appeared like it was spreading before beginning this).

I am so glad I found this website as I had continued to wait without doing anything because I really didn't want to use the black salve on an area that close to my eye. We used the black salve years ago on one on my back and it worked beautifully; however, it was very painful for the first 12 hours but it healed up just like pictures showed and I don't even think there is a scar there now.

We (my husband) actually removed a brand new probable cancer that raised quickly very close to my collar bone within the last couple of years but the funny thing is that within about a week's span he tried several things and one morning I just touched the area and it fell off in my hand. It had litle "roots" all over the back side. But we can't remember what all we used that week!!! They were things such as the baking soda/maple syrup (internal), mms, shock (calcium hypochlorite) for swimming pools, DMSO, possibly tea tree oil. We just can't remember what all we used but within about a week of it raising up (very red and leathery) it fell off in my hand.
D.B.Lawton Posted - 08/10/2012 : 10:57:49
Okay! The first scab FINALLY fell off on Day 11 or 12. The edges were slightly raised, and loose, and I helped it VERY LITTLE, and it nearly dropped off.... it was held by hairs.... so the shaving of the spot before treating is a good idea

I took some photos. I will include all three on this post. The first shows me with my daughter, and you can see on my right cheekbone (left side looking at photo) there is a red spot. That has been there for 2 years.
Photo 2 shows the spot after applying iodine for about three days. The iodine reacted with the spot, and formed a scab very quickly.
Photo 3 shows the spot with the first scab having come off. I wish I had found the clear 12% iodine before I bought the red tincture, but I am not going to wait for it to get here. Time to start Round 2.

Ha! Ha! Ha! I reckon I like the stinging, Chuck! It FEELS like it's working.... LOL!

The instructions that I got were from the very first site I learned about this treatment from, and here is what it said there:

"If the lesions are fairly small, they must be painted with the solution 10-20-30 times twice a day for five days and then once for another ten days so that they become very dark. When a scab (a skin crust) forms, it is necessary to continue to paint the iodine under and above it, even if at first this causes a sharp pain.

"This needs to be repeated when the second scab forms. At this point, the lesion may be considered destroyed, because after the third cycle it is possible to reach the center of the neoplasia, which is the last strong hold of the colonies.

@ Carole: Bless your heart, honey..... I know how you feel. I never imagined that the spot on my face, originally thought to be about half the size of my pinky nail, came out large as a quarter! I am hoping that in my case, the infiltrations with bicarbonate of soda were not necessary. Otherwise, I may be forced to use the bloodroot paste.

Hi all. Chuck, thanks for all the work you put into this topic. I am trying a variation of your iodine protocol, first using a vit C paste to create a scab, then soaking the scab with SSKI (a clear form of iodine) a few times a day until the scab falls off. Then repeat and retreat until I am satisfied with the results. Posted here: http://www.topicalinfo.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1265

Carole Posted - 08/08/2012 : 21:52:00
I've been trying to follow the instructions by Chuck on 7/5/2010 by applying the iodine about six times per day hoping that was enough. Is it really sufficient to apply 3-5 times per day? I purchased a small flat brush (paint brush) from a hobby store and that works very well for me. It doesn't seem to run very easily and stays where you "paint" it on. After I began putting the iodine on, making sure to cover the surrounding area, I began to see that the area of cancer was larger than it originally appeared. I have basically covered almost my entire nose!

I've found that as the layers of iodine are applied (around the perimiter) that eventually they come loose and separate from the skin. (I've used scissors to cut them once they come up so that I don't damage the area where the cancer is. The area where the cancers are continues to get much thicker. I'm prepared to wait it out as mine have been there for several years, especially the largest one. Once I began painting the area I found there were additional smaller spots that appear to be cancerous as it has gotten very dark and raised, too.

I might mention that I've been using the 5% iodine now and I really believe that it doesn't hurt as much as the Humco I began with even though my husband tells me they are exactly the same thing! The only difference I can see is that the Humco Lugal's solution product does not state the percentage of water used and the J.C. Crow's Lugal's product states 85% water; otherwise, both products state 10% potassium iodide and 5% iodine.
Chuck Posted - 08/08/2012 : 20:17:37
Hi Darryl,

I strongly urge you to print out the specific guidelines I posted. First, you should be using Lugols 5% WATER-BASED iodine and not the extremely painful alcohol-based tincture.

Second, do NOT apply it 20 - 30 imes a day. I have no idea who posted that, but it's rediculous. You should only be applying the Lugols about 3 - 5 times per day.

Third, it will take time. I carefully explain in my guidelines thjat it will take weeks for the process. You won;t have just one scab fall off. You may have 3 or more. That's because the iodine heals in LAYERS. That means the underlying layers are healed and then the upper layers are healed. That's how you prevent scarring.

So please go to my guidelines and print that out and keep it next to your counter where the ioodine is stored. The biggest frustration with this blog format is that some people didn't follow the method that was successful for me and then complained it didn't work. It will work if you follow it and allow your body to heal.

Chuck
D.B.Lawton Posted - 08/08/2012 : 20:01:40
Sigh...... started not to post, but changed my mind, after thinking that perhaps someone will read these posts later, as I did Chuck's posts, and find some hope in them.
STILL waiting for the scab to fall off. It seems like maybe it won't.... but I know that I am probably just being impatient. Also, I am not applying the iodine 20 -30 times in the morning and 20-30 times in the evening. I keep the bottle with me, and apply it using the dropper that came with the bottle, until the scab is completely wet, and I am doing this about ten times a day. As a note, I can see as I apply the iodine, that it runs down behind the scab, and comes out a little along the bottom of the scab, so it is definitely getting to the skin under the scab..... but this is day 10 and the scab is still there..... sigh. It is thick, and ugly, and about the size of a quarter. I wish it was gone already. I will continue to apply the iodine, and wait.

Chuck,

Thanks for the fast response. Some of the things that you said were a little funny to me. You mentioned the AMA (American Medical Association). Most people think that the AMA exists to protect people from bad doctors. Nothing could be further from the truth. The AMA exists for one reason, and one reason only: to protect the PROFITS of its members! That is the reason that you will NEVER see ANY type of a CURE for cancer.! It would cut into the profits of the AMA's members. As for the FDA, forget them. Anyone that believes that the FDA protects American citizens is very foolish. The FDA has approved so many drugs that have killed people by the hundreds of thousands..... It is unbelievable. Whistleblowers are these people's, as well as Big Pharma's #1 enemies. That is what Dr. Simoncini is: a whistleblower. That is why I decided to try his treatment.
Chuck Posted - 08/06/2012 : 17:04:45
Hi Darryl,

I totally agree with every word you said - awesome post! I wanted to mention a couple of things related to your post. First, I researched who BEATIS is and it appears she's a well-known author and a breast cancer survivor. I think she's embittered by some previous experiences involvinmg quackery. While I share her resentment towards those taking advantage of othes' misfortune, I direct that anger to not only the non-professional quacks but also the professional ones as well.

Dr. Simoncini has been vilified as you so astutely explained. He was "caught taking money" for helping someone with their treatments. He made all of $400 acting as their counselor / advocate when they were being treated. He couldn't personally perform the treatment because the Italian medical board stripped him of his license after he began to expose the near-futility of conventional cancer treatments. So after he was stripped of his license and a good income, he continues to help others by acting as their advocate. And his crime? Taking $400 to cover his time and try to make a minimal income. If this man was in it for the money, he would have turned his back on the "FUNGUS CURE" and let people die while he used a much larger income to fatten his nest. This man was a licensed pediatric oncologist watching helpless children die after doing everything "per the book". After crying out to God for an answer because he couldn't stand to watch it anymore, the Lord revealed the CANCER - FUNGUS CONNECTION.

My daughter's home somehow manifested a mold. A mold is a form of fungus. When it was discovered, they tore out the sheetrock, cabinets, ceiling, baseboards, etc. Why? Because mold is deadly and they could have gotten seriously ill from mold (fungus). The people that eradicated it wore full bodysuits, masks, boots and gloves. The medical establishment says "that's a wise treatment". Yet the same people that agree with that, turn a blind eye to the fungal problems associated with skin cancer, gingivitis, uterine cancer, yeast infections, breat cancers, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and on and on the list goes.

So let's break it down. Fungus, mold and yeast are very similar. They colonize and devouor their host. Our immune system and healthy biotics attempt to keep them in check. But if your immune system is impaired or through ANTI-biotics we kill the good guys, the Candida begins to flourish. Once it reaches critical mass, it takes over that area of flesh and destroys it. That's why cancer and HIV / AIDS victims often have thrush, cold sores and skin cancers.

One of the few things that kills Candida is iodine. The Japanese living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki have a lower cancer rate than the average US citizen. Why? Because they learned that kelp contains iodine and they consume about 25 - 50 50 times the iodine that we do. The Japanese "get it". It's why they cornered the market on iodine when they had the nuclear reactor meltdown. They bought millions of tablets and instructed their people to take it.

What does our government do? They labeled iodine a "controlled substance" and sellers have to register who's buying and how much they buy. The US removed iodine from our salt and replaced iodine in our bread with bromide which is a harmful additive. Why? Because a bottle of Lugols 5% iodine costs $13 - $25 per bottle and I've used 1 bottle to cure 7 skin cancers over the past 2+ years. The Big Pharma guys lost thousands of dollers by not cutting on me, lasering me, chemo-ing me, etc.

I look forward to the day when American doctors do exactly what Dr, Simoncini did - take a stand, tell the AMA, FDA and Big Pharma to go to hell. And then use these effective treatments to save lives.

I prau I see that day.

Sincerely,
Chuck Frazier

Hi Carole,

My name is Darryl, and I am also new here. I have read every post on this forum. Chuck's info has really given me courage, too. I had a spot on my face, on my right cheek. It was just a small red spot that would show up more prominently after a day in the sun (I have been roofing houses for 35 years), and when I touched the spot with my finger, it felt like there were tiny cactus needles sticking in me on the spot on my face. I did a search on the symptoms, and after some searching, I found some images that looked nearly identical to mine, and these folks also had the cactus needle description. The culprit was most likely actinic keratoses, and the info I got was that it is a precursor to squamous cell carcinoma, or basal cell carcinoma.
I searched for days, and came upon Dr. Simoncini's discovery, and the iodine cure. There are a LOT of people calling Dr. Simoncini a 'quack'. One of these people is the user here that calls himself BEATIS.
I have found over the past several years, and as I am a member of the Natural Cures website that the mainstream medical world here in the U.S. is a sham. The normal, business-as-usual method here is not to CURE anyone (no money in curing folks), but to MANAGE people's sickness by treating symptoms, and draining people and their insurance companies' wallets. Any true CURE is demonized, villified, and called B.S. by defenders of mainstream medicine. Thus, it just struck home with me that Dr. Simoncini lost his license because he simply pissed some people off by publishing his findings, and cutting into the PROFITS of those that use traditional cancer therapies.

Anyway, I was down to two choices to treat my spot. One was bloodroot salve, which is what is called an 'escharotic'. I researched that option, saw photos that document the treatment, and did not want to go with that for something on my face. The other was the iodine. SO.... I have been using the iodine (7% tincture from Pure Health Solutions) that I found on E-Bay. It stings for a while, as it is 7% iodine, 5% potassium iodide, distilled water and ethanol. It says it contains 50% alcohol. The pain is bearable, though. I have been using this for 8 days, now. There is a thick crust scab formed, and I am patiently waiting for it to fall off. I became worried because it seemed that it was never going to come off, but after reading Chuck's posts, I have renewed faith in this treatment. I actually have posted a photo on my Facebook page of what the spot looked like before the treatment, and what it now looks like, and I look forward to posting the 'after'' photos.
I believe in this treatment. It makes sense to me.
Carole Posted - 08/05/2012 : 15:09:26
I'm new here - just recently discovered this information and want to say that I've completely read through it and this has given me the courage to treat the BCC on my nose. Unfortunately, the cancer has been there for several years and I've not been able to deal with it as I had transitional cell cancer several years ago, lost a kidney and have never recovered afterwards. Now I am gaining some real insight into what most likely has taken place in my body. I am still dealing with the devastating effects of the antibiotic Levaquin used during the first procedure. (Unbeknown to me, it already had a black box warning but the doctor never gave me this information.) The very next day veins broke on a leg, my head felt like it was going to explode and I felt like I might have a heart attack. I also believe that the severe nerve damage in my feet developed since are effects of the drug. Soon after the procedure, I developed an extreme case of insomnia that I'm still dealing with and as badly as I hate drugs I've been on them to get any sleep, yet I feel as though I haven't slept in months!
I simply couldn't deal with the BCC, although I finally did have it diagnosed last winter. I know that if I did the Mohs surgery I probably wouldn't have much of a nose left so I have gotten the courage to do iodine after reading everything here.
Wondering if anyone is still here since the last post was about four months ago. I really appreciated the detailed explainations that Chuck has given and I thank him and everyone here for your posts. Know that it has given one more person courage!

Hey Chuck,

I understand and thank you once again for the info.

Kevin
Chuck Posted - 04/11/2012 : 08:49:28
Hi Kevin,

My iodine treatments would be layered over each other without re-cleansing each time. I only washed the area once a day. You need the iodine to soak deeply into the tissues. Plus. it's crucial you keep the skin DRY. Some on this blog didn't follow that recommendation and I believe it affected the outcome. The drier you keep the tissue, the more deeply the iodine is absorbed. Very important detail.

Sincerely,
Chuck
Niagarafalls1 Posted - 04/10/2012 : 13:14:12
Hi Chuck,

Thanks for responding. I did check through your detailed treatment method and I understand 20-30 times a day for applying the iodine is a bit excessive and your opinion of 3-5 times daily will work fine. But what's still unclear to me is after the first treatment of iodine in the morning, do you wash/sanitize the area for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th treatments or do you just keep applying the iodine over the last coat? Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks Kevin
Chuck Posted - 04/10/2012 : 08:54:56
I posted a detailed treatment method on this blog you might consider following. You do not apply iodine 20-30 times a day. Usually a few times will work fine.

Chuck
Niagarafalls1 Posted - 04/09/2012 : 16:13:49
After reading through most of the posts, whats unclear to me is when you're applying the iodine solution 20-30 times a day, are you supposed to clean/wash/sanitize the area/lesion before reapplying the iodine again and again. Or does just cleaning up the area in the morning sufficient enough?

Hi I'm new and thanks for all the information last week my dermatologist performed me a biopsy on the right side of the nose and days later they called me to inform me that the biopsy was positive for skin cancer ( BCC ) and gave me an appointment with another dermatologist for a Mohs Micrographic Surgery . I could not believe this was really happening to me depressed me so much nothing else to think about the word cancer I thought I will die many things went through my mind . Started looking for information and I dont liked the scar that I could stay in my face . Find lots of information for hours and come to this forum and thanks to Chuck do not know him but everything he mentioned and explain every step of the procedure quickly find ways to buy the Lugol's 7% iodine and thanks to Chuck I buy it without alcohol . I bought mine here by the amount of US $13.75

Hi Adi!

I am glad that your wife is also cured of melanoma! People should know that this disease is treated. They have to fight the disease and will win!
I informed the woman with BCC about the methods of Dr. Simoncini. Doctors, like when my mother insisted it operates. But she began treatment with iodine and heal.

Dan, thanks for this site!

God help us all!

Miya
Adi Posted - 03/04/2012 : 14:49:25
I read about dr. Simonccini method, I sent an email to ask if iodine is good for melanoma, I read all of your discussions, and I decided to use iodine on my wife neck melanoma. Guess what ? Two weeks and couple days after , the think went down . I continued to apply iodine two weeks more, and now everything is like before. Just a little scar. If anyone need, I can provide pictures with melanoma, before and after.
Miya Posted - 03/02/2012 : 13:27:41
Hi, Chuck!
Thanks for your good words!
I forgot to write something more important.
My mother used another therapy, parallel treatment with iodine. This is the treatment of Nikolai Shevchenko. Here is a link to his method: http://cancer-bg.blogspot.com/. This is described by a Bulgarian father. This is Father John Vasilevski. You can use online translator.
Besides, my mother used sometimes hydrogen peroxide. With hydrogen peroxide it flush the wound.
I hope that this will be useful to people who are being treated.
God help you, friends!

Hi Miya,

I wanted to say "thank you" for posting the details about your Mother's success in treating her cancer. What fantastic news and a source of encouragement for those reading it!

Although I successfully treated my own basal cell cancer, it sounds like your Mother's condition was far worse than mine. I cannot imagine how frightening that must have been but is now a source of joy!

Please let your mother know that we rejoice for her and you and share the excitement. God is great and He definitely led you to this website. We all owe Dan, the blog founder and Dr. Simoncini much!!

God Bless You,
Chuck
Miya Posted - 02/25/2012 : 12:49:27
Hello, friends! Please excuse me for bad English! I hope you will understand me.
I am from Bulgaria and I write you a translator.
I want to thank you for this forum, which greatly helped my mother get well!
A year ago, doctors diagnosed with malignant melanoma of my mother. She had a large dark spot on the face. This stain was injured in the middle. They formed a wound that was great. Then there is formed something like a volcano with a wound on the top.
Doctors from two laboratories have studied biopsy. Proved to be malignant melanoma diagnosis.
Doctors wanted to cut out half the face of my mother.
I found information about the treatment of Dr. Simoncini.
We started treating my mother with Lugol. That lasted about three months.
During this time we read the your advice. They gave us strength us to continue with treatment.
Now my mother was healed and her skin is clear.
We thank you! We wish success to all who are receiving. Do not give up. There cancer treatment.
We thank Dr. Simoncini! God bless you!

Sincerely,

P.S.: Love your moniker "Happy" - that says it all :-)


Chuck, HELLO

Happy is not even close to how good I feel about my success with using the Lugol's iodine. And you Chuck, are the reason I tried it. I do not have words to express how grateful I am to you for sharing your experience.

I read your posts over and over again before I decided I wanted to give it a try. I read other forums and researched skin cancer.
I have read much good information about Lugol's iodine and I would urge others to read as much as you can. Very informative information on the Internet.

Again Chuck, thank you so very much.

Yes, I am going to keep applying the iodine for the next few weeks.

My edits are because I am not using spell check. I can't seem to catch my mistakes until after I post and then read my reply again. lol

I wanted to share some more information about my skin lesion on my nose and also information about myself.
I am 64 years old, healthy and am retired. I have fair skin and was in the sun a lot growing up and sun burned often. Like so many I wanted to have a nice tan like my friends but my skin would not tan like their skin and I burned often and turned red more then a nice tan color. I suspect I am the perfect canidate for skin cancer.

The lesion on my nose looked like the google images of a nodular bcc.
It was white and a waxy pearl color with veins showing. About the size of a dime. It first showed up ten to twelve years ago and I did visit the doctor. I was afraid and the Dr. was aware so he told be not to be so afraid because skin cancer was nothing like real cancer.
He made an appointment for me to see a dermatologist and said I would need to have a biopsy. I am someone who does not enjoy going to the doctor and was so disappointed he made another appt. with another doctor and I did not go to the appt. I convinced myself it was a skin cyst.
The lesion on my nose would not go away. I opened it with a needle three different times over the years. It bled profusely and took forever to heal. The result would be it looked the same no matter what I did to it.
Recently it had taken on the shape of having rolled edges and sunken in the middle.

Today after using the Lugols iodine 5% the rolled edges are gone and most of the skin is looking normal.
I posted in the above post how long I have been treating this lesion and how surprised and amazed I am this Iodine is working to heal my lesion.

I also am using the iodine on some other spots on my skin that I feel could be a problem.

I also started taking a drop of the Iodine orally, today was my first day for taking it orally.

I am going to take it twice a week for a while and see how I feel.

I have done a lot of reading on skin cancer and also iodine and I am convinced this has been successful for me and I just had to share with those that read this forum.

I also wanted to add when applying the iodine my lesion did swell some and turn red but it never had any kind of a discharge. It has hurt a lot during the procedure but after seeing the wonderful results the pain and time has been worth using the iodine.

Remember the 7 % formula dabbed on any nodule or location 20-30 times morning then 20-30 times afternoon can be done anywhere. I used HUMCO STRONG 7 % IODINE and if you can get a doctor to write a prescription for the SIMONCINI FORMULA perhaps you need, if elderly, to cut off the ALCOHOL AMOUNT and substitute Distilled Water like I did.

ROME PHONE NUMBER FOR DR. SIMONCINI REMAINS:

I first read this forum a couple of months ago.
I have a lesion on the side of my nose and after years of denial I looked at google pictures of BCC and decided, yes, this is what is on my nose.

I figured I would be at the doctors soon but wanted to try some natural cures first.

I tired the baking soda and castor oil for ten days. It hurt a lot and also bled and then I went to Lugol's iodine.

Used the Iodine for three weeks and it did not seem to do much. I then tried it again and put it on twelve times a day for three days.

The iodine forms a thick film on the lesion and today I scraped and picked until it was off and wanted to see what the lesion was doing.

It is better. I am so shocked. I put some ointment on it as it is sore and the skin peeled but will continue with iodine treatment tomorrow. The lesion looks more healed and smaller.

I am in total shock this is working and so very greatful for this forum.

Thanks to all who have shared.

Chuck you are the one who posted and gave enough info that convinced me to try this.

Thank you so much.

I will post again after using the iodine for a bit longer.

Dr. Tullio Simoncini treats Skin Cancer using a special formula available in any Pharmacy in Italy plus most Compound Pharmacies can make up 1 ounce or 8 ounce solutions. I cannot use Alcohol at 45 or 85 percent because it cracks my skin so we only use distilled water with the formula.

Dr. Simoncini gave this formula to me today:

The formula is
7 grams iodine
5 grams potassium iodide
5 mls distilled water
alchool to reach 25 mls
All the best
Tullio Simoncini

Obviously the formula is for a 1 ounce or 30 mls bottle. Not sure how to measure the amounts necessary to have an 8 ounce bottle made up but do recommend ALL shake any bottle with the solutions before application. We bought 2 percent solutions from CVS and Walgreens plus even Supermarkets to get the applicator and threw out the 2 percent with high alcohol solutions to use the bottles. We found perfect 2 ounce plastic bottles with applicators for $3.69 at a local Supermarket and bought two. Remember in America only a DEA Licensed Pharmacist can make up the solution 7 percent with 5 percent Potassium Iodide --- Something normally ordered from a Compound Pharmacy by Prescription from a doctor often required.

Remember also that being a FUNGUS one must take special care washing family clothing to use granular bleach to kill FUNGI plus be sure to find something like 'MOLD ARMOR' to spray on your showers or tubs. I have asked Dr. Simoncini to provide the formula for destroying all Cancer inside the body by spraying like lung or rectal tumors or injection by Catheter or Syringe for internal organ tumors. Dr. Simoncini cures BREAST CANCER in 4 days using Sodium Bicarbonate or perhaps best known as ARM AND HAMMER BAKING SODA type solutions of perhaps 5 percent with distilled water.

DO PASS ALONG THE CANCER CURE INFORMATION FOR SKIN AND INTERNAL !

I have asked the Nobel Prize Committee to award Dr. Tullio Simoncini the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his discovery and cure techniques PLUS we sent him to a web site www.apfn.org/apfn/du.htm to see how one can translate his web site into 48 or 50 Languages.

Thank you for allowing me to join the group. My skin Cancer treatment is worth the effort and with help applying drops to hard to reach areas 20-30 times a day TWICE A DAY the scabs are coming off and areas CURED !

Forgot ONE ITEM --- Skin with HAIR should be shaved either with an electric razor or razor if you do not cut the skin before commencing the treatment with solution. Usual dose requires dabbing with applicator 20-30 times TWICE A DAY for 5 days and taking usual showers or baths until the scab forms and falls OFF. Do not PULL on the scabs because they are usually attached to good skin in areas and it will pull off layers of good skin causing pain and bleeding. After the first scab comes off then keep up the teatment ONCE A DAY still applying 20-30 drops until the second scab falls off then the skin should only stain with the solution and it is declared CURED.

Sorry we forgot that small item about hair causing the scab to stay put longer.

Thanks for the Simoncini skin cancer treatment recipe Ralph! Do you know what type of alcohol is recommended?

Personally, I would steer clear of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and go with Everclear or vodka.

Dr Simoncini's internal cancer treatment methods using sodium bicarbonate are very controversial and I am skeptical that they work.

But I do think skin cancers are often promoted by an underlying candida yeast (fungus) infection and an iodine based therapy may be quite helpful. Please let us know how your treatment works for you.

I don't know if you've read this thread, but it's based on a physician's hypothesis that skin cancers are the result of fungal infections.

I will add, since I've posted a number of times, that I have given up on the iodine treatment for my lesion. After several months it became obviously ineffective. I've ordered some Petty Spurge seeds for my next attempt at self-treatment. http://www.topicalinfo.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=273 is the thread dealing with that technique.

I was told by a doc that scabs tend to promote scarring, so it's best to cover a wound with vaseline to prevent scab formation.

In our situation, I don't think we're after removing the scab so much as making it more porous to the iodine.

Yes, I was just commenting about the evaporation. I don't know anything about overdosing.

But yes, I find it actually painful after I've applied the warm, wet rag for a while and then applied the iodine.

I googled that hydrogen peroxide will soften and dissolve scabs. YMMV, but I'm tempted to try it.

I don't think there's any danger there. The I/KI is not volatile; only the water will evaporate, leaving the iodine behind.

OTOH, while it's in solution, it can soak into the scab more readily, I would think.

Yes! I've noticed I get more burning if the scab is wet, such as from a recent shower. I know the recommendation is for the scab to be dry, but I suspect a moist scab absorbs better than a dry one.

I may be wrong, but in light of my slow progress, I have started applying a warm, wet rag before every other application. I'm applying every two hours now when possible.

I suspect that's a =tincture= (alcohol solution), whereas Lugol's is a solution of iodine and potassium iodide in water. the former stings a lot more.

You want to buy Lugol's from JM Crow & Company. Just Google that company name and look for the 5% iodine. Lugol's is a maximum 5% strength - the 7.5% is probably iodine tincture which means it contains alcohol. That makes it very painful so you'll want real Lugol's which is water-based.

Good luck!

Quick question for everyone, I work for a dr office and recently had them order an extra bottle of iodine solution. Its a 7.5%....Is this the same a Lugols? I did a little research and it appears to be the same. Thoughts??

I used a Q-tip and re-applied several times a very small amount each time. No running off issues this way for me.

The Lugol's runs right off my face. I'm painting it on with the glass dropper, but it doesn't sink into the skin initially, and since my cheeks are "vertical surfaces", much of the precious Lugol's just runs down my neck... Is there some method for applying to vertical skin that yields better absorption?

My current spot is also vertical, and the scab seems to be the main absorber of iodine. I don't remember a problem at the beginning; maybe your skin is too "greasy" from the earlier treatment. I seem to recall the scab formed pretty quickly, so maybe that eliminates the drain-off.

I waste a certain amount of solution with each treatment, because I dab it on with the dropper until a drop forms at the bottom of the area. Then I use a folded tissue to blot the drop.

Johnny Mac, I recently had contact with someone from Dr Simoncini's camp by e-mail. They said I could "write him directly at t.simoncini@alice.it or phone him at +39335294480". Hope this helps.
johnny Mac Posted - 08/16/2011 : 14:28:23
Thank you so much for your help Rosebud and Overthere! I will check the Shen clinic out and see what i can find. Will also look at the Dr Bryzinski.
I have already been on the websites you suggested Overthere ,but can not seem to get a response? I have read Dr Simonici's book but it still only gives directions to the various websites. Will keep you posted! By the way......what an amazing thing this forum is, and how wonder full are the people that contribute to it . once again....thank you. x
Rosebud Posted - 08/16/2011 : 11:25:38
Hello Johnny Mac,
I believe from my google research that Dr. Tullio Simoncini works out of THE SHEN CLINIC
Have a look at their website & you may be able to send an email or give a call.

Good luck with it all!!
May that brain tumor go take a hike!

Also, worth googling Dr Bryzinski as well if your interested (he's in the usa)
(With apologies to all for the digression.....)
johnny Mac Posted - 08/16/2011 : 08:39:24
Hi there! New to all this! Could anyone tell me where in Rome Dr Simionici's clinc is? Does anyone practice this method in the uk? I'm having a hard time getting in touch with him or his team. I would really like to have the Bicarbonate of Soda treatment on a slow growing brain tumor. Any help would be much appreciated........thank you.

I'd say it's about the same size, although it's hard to tell with the scab there.

I like your suggestion of increasing the frequency of treatment. I think I'll up it to about every 2 hours or so and see if that helps.

Another excellent possibility that I am preparing for is Petty Spurge sap as explored in this Topicalinfo.org thread:

The thead is almost 500 posts long spanning three years, so reading it provides a real education.

Thank you for that link! It certainly looks like an approach to consider. Too bad you can't just buy the sap somewhere, but I guess the "drug company police" would prevent its being marketed. One would need to find some other non-medicinal use for it, and sell it only for that purpose.

That's a LOT better than three months of 10 iodine applications per day (how many shirts have you ruined?)

Ha, ha! Actually, I've been very careful and only stained a couple of T-shirts.

I'll read... or at least skim... the milkweed thread and see if I think growing them is feasible. I'm not sure about growing seasons and such. I'm not in a situation where indoor growing is likely to be possible.

Another suggestion for you:
Apparently almost all cancer patients turn out to be Iodine Deficient. Do some research and consider taking two drops of Lugol's orally per day (in a glass of water or other liquid).

Actually, I used to take iodine that way; don't know why I stopped. I think I'll start again.

Unfortunately, the "work" has dried up, but fortunately, I don't have to keep the area covered as much. I use a regular "band-aid," so I think air circulation is pretty good at all times.

I was glad to read your recommendation about having the spot dry, and this may relate a bit to my slow progress. It's been my practice to soap the spot during my nightly showers and then to apply the iodine almost immediately afterward. I will immediately change that behavior!

Originally posted by OverthereI think Hydrogen Peroxide is a MIRACLE with powers far beyond what we know. I think it permeated the skin and (maybe) acted upon all affected cells.

I never want to question someone else's miracle, but here's some information you may find useful.

The formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. The 2's should be subscripts, but that's not possible here. Each molecule of hydrogen peroxide is composed of two atoms of hydrogen (H) and two atoms of oxygen (O).

The bubbling that is observed when H2O2 is applied is caused by the presence in all living cells of catalase. This enzyme breaks the molecule down to hydrogen (H2) and oxygen O2) gases.

quote:
1. The curative power of H2o2 is (in part) due to the way it delivers EXTRA OXYGEN to the site. So if these "cancers" really are FUNGAL in nature, that extra oxygen should help kill them!

You're right about the delivery of oxygen, but I'm not sure how that would harm the fungus. I don't think any fungi are obligate anaerobes (fancy term for critters that can't live with oxygen). I might be wrong, though.

Hi Overthere,

In reply to your questions, I just used a small pair of scissors to carefully clip my beard hair that grew near or in the affected area. I wasn't too worried about getting it close, just enough to keep in control. As for showering, I never directly touched the area, but allowed the water to briefly rinse it. But don't use soap with moisturizer - a very important detail. Also, let it air dry totally before you treat with iodine. The area should stay as dry as possible so the iodine soaks deep into the skin. Moisture and heat is a perfect growing condition for fungus so you want to keep the area dry with plenty of air circulation.

Hope that helps. I'll be out of pocket the next several days due to a family emergency, but will respond when I return in case of further questions.

Sincerely,
Chuck

Hi Lane,

Thank you fo the update. It appears that although it's taking quite awhile that you're making slow, but sure progress. I recall you're working and needed to keep the area covered. I wantaed to ask if you felt the covering had unhindered air circulation? The less air (and thus less dry) the spot, the longer it takes to heal. So I was curious if the covering was loose and allowed air to freely flow undersneath it?

As for the size, the "core" you're seeing is Ground Zero for the entire cancer which has a much larger perimeter. So when you're down to the just the core remaining, the final healing should appear to be quicker (at least from my personal experience).

I know this isn't easy and I commend you for hanging in there. When that core is 100% gone, please treat it for another couple of weeks so you never have it re-occur. My wife and I still marvel at the area on my cheek that was huge and has been blemish-free for about a year now.

Sincerly,
Chuck
LaneLester Posted - 08/15/2011 : 10:24:14
I posted a photo of my "neck bump" before starting treatment in this thread 5/19/11. It's been about 3 months now of 4-5 Lugol's treatments daily.

In the photo below there is a large iodine-stained area of skin, a smaller hard scab area, and a central depression in the scab. I'm not sure what caused the depression.

I occasionally pick at the edges of the scab, due to lack of self-control, I guess. Originally, the whole iodine-stained area was scabbed over, but the scab size has diminished with time. The current scab is about the same size as the original bump.

overthere, I used cureaderm for sc and bc. The spots spread across my face, nocking out aks rapidly. I am still dealing with some deep bc's, mainly in the places where I had moes 20 years ago. I am now washing with bobs bakeing soda, then put on iodine, let that dry, add curaderm, then I put on a peace of tape. I do the cureaderm twice a day. Curaderm works really fast on ak's. I had my whole face checked out by a derm. twice. Its been 5 years with no return. Once they get to be full blown bc's or ak's, thats when they take longer. I tried ps but I find it leaves a kind of blistery looking thing, that dosn't go away, so I am retreating those spots with the above method. I really like the iodine but bc's have those roots that spread out, and I worry that the iodine won't follow them all the way because of the hard scab.

Hi Overthere,

Thank you for the post and am so glad to hear you've taken th etime to research this. I wanted to quickly respond to your question regarding the quantity of Lugol's you should purchase. I've successfully treated four Bcc's and my wife has treated on of her own. I still have 1/3 of my original bottle. So for roughly $17.50 (67% of $25), we're treated 5 Bcc's.

So I feel pretty confident a single 1oz bottle will be more than enough if you're treating less than 6 - 7 spots.

I also want to mention one other thing, I can only attest to my personal results involving Bcc's. So to anyone besides Overthere who might read this, it's very important to have a professional diagnose the type of skin cancer. Personally, I would not attempt this treatment for Sarcoma or Melanoma.

I wish you the very best results!

Sincerely,
Chuck

Iodine (Lugol's, 7%) has appeared to work somewhat for me with a cancer I have had on my forehead. It's difficult to know if it's gone permanently, it still ocasionally feels tingly or itchy but only slightly. I used the Lugol's for several months. After a while it healed over leaving a dint in the skin.

It hurt a bit and was a bit ugly at the destruction stages but hey, what would the doctors have done but put a huge hole in my face and almost certainly cut a nerve and disfigured me I was warned. I'm only just forty and I'm an actor and performing musician. It matters a lot.

I'm not entirely sure whether there is some cancer left growing beneath the skin, or some bad cells left in the dint where it was, though it's not looking bad at the moment.

I've acquired some Curaderm BEC5 and another restorative cream, but I'm careful about using them as they seem not designed to be applied on normal skin to reach anything underneath. If anyone knows anything to the contrary, please correct me.

Does anyone know where I can buy the Cesium Carbonate recommended by some, to dissolve in water and apply to hopefully knock out any remaining bad cells?

I said I would come back and give an update on my desmoplastic melanoma that I treated with the iodine. Here's a recap:
I had a bc removed which formed a "keloid scar" (as my dermotologist called it). A year later, it was bugging me so I returned to dermo. He said it had grown so he wanted to do a shave biopsy, which he did and it was desmoplastic melanoma. I'm not sure he even suspected melanoma nor did I.
I decided to try the iodine even though it was melanoma. I believe all cancers have a fungal link. I used 2% tincture boiled down, 5% lugols, then switched to the 7% tincture. Applied several times a day over the course of 3 months. The lesion grew and became swollen, and raised and painful. It began to look like a "tumor" and only parts of it would scab over the rest just oozed and bled all the time. I decided to go ahead with the WLE just last week. I figured 3 months was long enough to experiment and I should probably just get it gone!
Anyway, just wanted to say that I propbably shouldn't have tried this with melanoma and I dont recommend it. Who knows, maybe with continued use it would have killed it but after 3 months, I was afraid to continue. Also, if you have an undiagnosed lesion, I would strongly recommend having it looked at, especially if you have a history of bc or other cancers. I would never have thought mine was melanoma. It was smooth, pink and raised like a keloid scar. It did not have the typical A,B,C,Ds of melanoma.
If I ever have another BC, I will definitely use the iodine but it just didn't seem to be working fast enough for my melanoma.

I found this forum a couple of months ago and started using the baking soda on my bcc on my nose (about the size of a pencil eraser). I went through the OMG what have I done phase when it came to the surface and looked awful and then I switched over to the Lugol's iodine after it seemed to be settling down. I never got a scab and I didn't have pain from either the soda or the iodine to any degree, but I could see 'normal' skin beginning to fill the small opening. Then I got pneumonia. The doc said I needed to be hospitalized, but I refused. I did agree to treatment (prednisone for 12 days, a Z-pack AND 875mg of Augmentin). As you can guess, I experienced MAJOR yeast infection and the bcc swelled up big time. Now I'm starting all over. I'm going to go with the soda for a few days and then start back on iodine. I've seen the 'traditional' (Mohs) pictures, so this HAS to work! Wish me luck!
