Around eight or nine months ago, I was diagnosed with a basal cell carcinoma on my chest. It looked like a pimple (with a thin crust on top), but it felt like something had taken hold of me, and wouldn't let go. The doctor recommended surgery, but he also said that there was no time urgency. Since I knew that both surgery and chemical creams have a risk of leaving bad scarring, I decided to research natural alternatives.
I called a friend who is very knowledgeable about alternative medicine. He recommended that I try pure (no aluminum) baking soda. The idea behind this is that baking soda is super alkaline, and cancer cells cannot live in an alkaline environment. He said to make it into a watery paste with pure water and apply it to the area every morning and every evening, covering it with a wet piece of gauze to keep it wet as long as possible, then taping a dry piece of gauze on top of that. He said I should notice it working in about ten days.
I did as he said, and it took about a week before I noticed a difference. It began to sting a little bit, and I could actually feel its grip lessening, and I could see the puffiness that surrounded the "pimple" had flattened. I knew that was a good sign. After that, the lump itself seemed to grow daily, which didn't worry me, as my friend had said that I could be sure that under the skin, it was actually four times the size that it looked. Each day it grew larger, as the baking soda pulled it out from under my skin, and as it did, it looked redder and angrier, and the burning pain increased.
As it grew, the surface became cracked, even though it wasn't dry, but wet. The cracks were red and they bled a little. I found blood on the gauze each time I removed it.
After about three weeks, it looked really ugly, which was scary on the one hand, but comforting on the other, as I knew it was a sign that it was working. I remember thinking that it felt like there was a battle taking place, right on my chest, between the good cells and the bad. After four weeks, I developed a blister-type rash all around it, which my friend assured me was my skin's reaction to being in such an alkaline, wet state, for so long. A few days later, when I removed the gauze, THE THING CAME OFF! It sloughed off in a kind of mushy mess, and left somewhat slimy remnants of itself. I continued the treatment until the remnants were all gone, except for a sizable lump, which was smooth and clean. At this point, I stopped the treatment, because the surrounding skin really needed to heal from the bumps that had developed due to the moist, alkaline environment that the baking soda had created.
The remaining bump shrunk every day, until it disappeared totally within a month, LEAVING NO SCAR. Now, 7 months later, I cannot tell exactly where it was.

Hi Bakinsoda,
It's wonderful to read about your experience. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! I am in a similar situation as you and I would like to start the baking soda treatment as soon as possible. A couple of questions first:
a) Would this do it as pure baking soda?
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41P6G97223L._SL500_AA280_PIbundle-6,TopRight,0,0_AA280_SH20_.jpg
b) Pure water, would filtered water do it?
If you could post/share anything else regarding this treatment that you successfully used to heal yourself of your BCC on your chest, that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot again!

Hi everyone,
I'm very sorry that I didn't see these replies until now. Also, someone asked me a question directly, but didn't leave a reply address so I'm posting my response here.
Shafah, I did not use Arm & Hammer, because I believe it has aluminum in it. I went to the health food store and got baking soda that is posted 'aluminum-free'.
I'm sure filtered water would be fine. I was staying in a place where we had well water, so that was nice and clean.
As for the questions sent to me directly, here are my answers:
First of all, my alternative health care provider thought that the fact that I eliminate all animal products from my diet was an important part of the healing, and helped it not to get any worse than it did.
Baking soda was the only thing I used. I kept it on constantly, except for showering and maybe to let it dry out every once in a while. The gauze covering the bcc pretty much stayed wet between changes.
If anyone has any other questions, please send them to me directly and I will be happy to respond. I wish everyone the best. |

Thank you bakingsoda for your reply. Sorry for not replying earlier as I have been very busy with things.
One question to you Bakinsoda or anyone for that matter:
is it ok to treat 2 spots at the same time with the baking soda method? How was the pain while you did your treatment Bakinsoda?
Thanks again for any/all your feedback. |

| I had a mole that was uneven in color, about the size of a pencil eraser, and it was starting to itch and burn. Frightened me. But I have no medical insurance (so I have no diagnosis), but I am highly suspicious of western medicine anyway. I found Edgar Cayce's suggestion for mole removal online. Make a paste of baking soda and castor oil and apply to the mole. I have been doing this twice a day for about ten days so far. At first, the mole burned a lot. Then an area about five times the size of the mole became very inflamed. It bled and oozed and crusted. I stopped the treatment for a couple of days to give my skin a rest. Most of the redness has gone. A lot of scabbing has peeled away. I have a small scabbed area still remaining. I am going to start applying the castor oil/baking soda mix again tonight. |

I find the mention of Baking Soda interesting - I use to go to a beautician who use to make a paste for a spot on top of my head - I had been bit by a tick years ago - and it would get pink and dry. About five years later I went to a dermatologist about a mole - mentioned the spot I had on my head - she did a biopsy and I was told that I had BCC - had it done by MOH surgery - purse stiches where they draw your skin up afterwards like one of those old draw string purses, size of a quarter. Unfortunately they did not get it all -right next to where they operated - which angers me a lot - as they never checked my scalp. But for this baking soda [/u]bit - it makes me wonder if I had kept on doing the baking soda which helped my scalp where would I be today -  |

I tried the baking soda and wanted to let people know my results!!!
I had been using Ammonia and Aloe Vera which almost got rid of it but it would come back again and again. I started cleaning it will the Ammonia & Aloe and then putting the baking soda on it at least twice a day as it was on my cheek. It is gone!!! So excited!!! It took about a month but it is flat and there is still a small mark where it was but it is going away a little more each day.
Thanks so much for posting your experience!!!
Hope it works for many others!!! |

I have been trying a mixture of baking soda,peroxide, and ammonia on my upper lip for about a month now. My area is about the size of a quarter,it looks horid, it's scabby,bleeds, painful, ect. I would put the mixture on it 2x's a day, then clean it with peroxide and put Neosporin on it inbetween to help it not dry out and bleed so much. It would seem to clear up some, least not look like I was diseased, but then it would seem to get angry and really flare back up. I think the mixture helps keep it at bay for abit, but won't get rid of the cancer. I have my Petty Spurge seeds that just sprouted so am waiting on those for that treatment. Still using the other mixture for the time being to try and hold it from blowing up and spreading any more. Wish it worked on me but I'm not seeing any results of it attacking and killing the cancer.
Good Luck |

| if any of you live in a medical marijuana friendly state I highly recommend just using cannabis oil.. it is so non toxic to healthy cells that you won't get a rash or anything. |

Hello! Thank you for posting this!
I have been using a baking soda method for about 10 days and I was getting nervous about the results because I don't have someone to ask, "Hey, is this normal?" hehe
I used the combination of baking soda and castor oil (still using) and I reapply a new past 3-4 times a day and cover it with a band aid all day, except for showers. I also rinse it every time I make a new paste.
I noticed the skin around the area I'm treating is becoming hard and I noticed slight blistering today. It's getting more red, but all of the brown is going away. I was wondering if the hard are might be the inner mole/cancer underneath and are these reactions normal?
I don't have any pain or discomfort. I just wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing and this seemed like the place to ask.
As a side note, this was a mole that was originally removed as a child and then grew back. Originally it was flat, and then grew back slightly raised but barely noticeable (though the same size as the original).
I was happy to see the blistering is temporary and seems to be normal if I read this correctly. I just wanted to double check the harder areas under the skin around the treated area. Any information would be greatly appreciated :)
Thank you so much! |
