I just found out I have cancer threw alot of my body and was wondering if someone can tell me a good place to start with this stuff. I guess what i need is maybe a plan what to use and when to use it that sort of thing and another thing if anyone knows what this compound x is that i'm hearing about i can't seem to find anything out about it Thanks for your time | ||
| Ingrid |
I would suggest reading my book because it is the most complete account of Compound X and similar products. Then, I would propose making an appointment with Judith to organize a strategy and the supervision you need. Best wishes, | ||

looking for venus fly trap injection, please... Where to order etc.??? | ||

I have a 37 lb., 14 year old English Field Spaniel which has a tumor underneath his neck and then a small tumor in his throat. The results of the biopsy were squamous-cell- carcinoma. The veterinarian for the oncology department in Fort Collins Colorado has given me the option to put Theo through one Kemo treatment to determine what the effect will be on the growths. It could either cause the cells to generate at a rapid pace, shrink the tumors or have no effect. My dog is in fabulous health but does have arythmia so that surgery is not an option at his age. I hate the thought of loosing him to this disease and I am not ready to put him down if there are options available. Have there been any reported success stories using the salve on animals. | ||
| Ingrid |
Venus Fly Trap I believe this product was provided by Dr. Hans Nieper in Germany. I also heard that he died a couple of years ago but why not search the net? | ||
| Ingrid |
Sara, We have lots of animal stories about the salve, but the dog stories are not as happy as the cat, horse, and donkey ones. I honestly don't know why. A part of me suspects that dogs complain less and are diagnosed later. The salve is very difficult to manage, but taking it internally is a reasonable consideration. Since most chemotherapeutic protocols cause some damage to the heart, I am surprised chemotherapy is being considered, but I'm not a veterinarian . . . but then the veterinarian you have consulted does not seem to be in a position to predict either. What most people are using is the trifolium syrup. Dogs tolerate it well. It does improve the quality of life. We have not seen it save a life with dogs. As I said, cats and horses are doing well (there has only been one donkey on the product). Recently, someone fought a long battle. His dog held his ground well but he thought the Fox Liniment had been more helpful than anything else. We have it. Let us know what you decide to do for Theo and how it works. | ||

Cheryl, When I posted the response to your previous question, I hadn't realized you were the Cheryl I met last weekend. The herb you want is Boswellia serrata and there is information about it on this site. You and your family can read about it and let me know how you want to follow up. Blessings, Ingrid | ||

Dear Ms. Naiman, My dog had thyroid cancer four years ago (she was 8). The vet removed half of her thyroid, and I put her on a version of Hoxsey's Formula. At the same time as the thyroid removal, she also had a fatty tumor removed from her hip. Once she was on the Hoxsey's, the hair on her hip would NOT grow back. I kept her on it for three years, taking her off just last year. After I stopped the Hoxsey's, her hair grew in on her hip. I'd say, if it can stop hair growth, it's got to be good for cancer. Also, the prognosis for dogs with thyroid cancer is absolutely dismal -- they don't usually even last six months after surgery. She's been very healthy for four years, much to my vet's amazement. Unfortunately, it appears that the cancer has returned on the remaining half of her thyroid. I probably shouldn't have taken her off Hoxsey's. She's (a very youthful) 12, now, and I don't want to put her through another thyroid surgery, especially one that will make her parathyroid. So, I ordered your Trifolium Extract. Unfortunately, it didn't come with any dosing instructions (the last formula I gave her came with instructions based on patient weight, so it was easy to scale down). Do you have any dosing instructions you can give me so that I can get her started? I don't want to delay treatment any longer than I have to, but I don't want to guess, either. Thanks, Melody | ||
| Ingrid |
Melody, Just for the record, we make a trifolium compound specifically for animals that does not have alcohol and contains a little more immune boosting herbs. The worst that would happen with an overdose is that your dog could have looser bowels. This said, there is no reason to overdose so I'd say something like a teaspoon per 30 pounds of body weight 1-to-3 times per day. It's not an exact science, but more is a bit better than less. Keep us posted and good luck with your precious furry friend. | ||
| Melody |
Dear Ms. Naiman, Thanks! I'm afraid I didn't search the website thoroughly enough the first time to find the non-alcohol-based formula. Hopefully, a little bit of alcohol won't hurt her this time. I'll order the other version next time (and probably be back with another question on dosage). I'm going to try to mix it in with her meat and see if she'll eat it (otherwise, she gets it syringed down her throat). I have great hopes for this; in fact, if I'm ever unfortunate enough to get cancer myself, I'll be taking it. Regards, Melody | ||
| Ingrid |
Melody, Let's hope you never need the tonic! Ingrid | ||
| Melody |
Ms. Naiman, May She always prevent it! Regards, Melody | ||
| Melody |
Ms. Naiman, BTW, I didn't realize that she'd be getting a whole shot of alcohol every time she got her Hoxseys. I think I might like that, but she doesn't. I'd suggest that anyone who doesn't enjoy that shot get some other form. Most dogs love beer (the hops), but they usually don't like straight alcohol. Right now, I'm trying to force it down her throat, and she's trying to keep me from doing that. I'm determined that she's going to get it, and she'll come around to my way of thinking, sooner or later. The next time, we'll get the non-alcoholic version. My vet is telling me not to keep her on this for too long. He thinks that the chances of her dying of thyroid cancer are less than that of her dying from something else (her thyroid has shrunk a little from last Thursday, and he's worried about her losing hair) -- he figures that since she's 12, and a fairly large dog (Siberian Husky), that she'll be OK for a few more years. Sorry, but I'm going for the record! Let's see if she makes 20! Regards, Melody P.S. My other two dogs were an Afghan Hound (17 years) and a mixed-breed Sheltie-Collie/Britanny Spaniel (16 years). If I'd had Hoxseys for these two, they might still be alive! --MW | ||

Melody, Just for the record, we have three versions of the trifolium compound: 1) the glycerite for people and animals who really want to avoid alcohol; 2) the extract for those who want to avoid honey; 3) the syrup, which contains both alcohol and honey. For those who aren't quite familiar with herbal manufacturing, I might mention that we use steam displacement for the extract and syrup. So far as I know, we are the only ones using this labor intensive method, but since we began, we can't go back to the simpler ways because the herbs are much more potent than when tinctured conventionally. However, we can't do this with the glycerite so the glycerite formula is not as strong. The dosage should therefore be increased considerably, maybe by three times. Lastly, while the herbs in our formula are the same as in Hoxsey's formula, his tonic is really more like a potassium iodide cocktail, rather vile tasting and herbally not much to rave about. This said, people swear by his product (and by ours). I substituted Irish moss for potassium iodide and the quantity cannot possibly match the chemical potency of Hoxsey's. If people really want that much potassium iodide, I would suggest additional supplementation, but I cannot imagine any body needing that much of such a concentrated chemical. | ||

My 10 year old lab just had a very large soft tissue sarcoma removed from her left front leg. The biopsy report stated that the cancer cells extended to the margins, meaning that there was no way to remove all of the cancer cells and that the tumor will definitely come back. Would the trifolium compound help in delaying or preventing the return of the tumor, and if so, is it a lifetime treatment? | ||
| Ingrid |
Ruth, The answer is "I don't know." These are very challenging situations. I would definitely try it and/or the artemisia annua as well as something directly on the leg, maybe not an escharotic, but something to draw off the toxins. Though the report on the artemisia seemed to offer a lot of promise, we have yet to get enough feedback to know if it is working. With the trifolium, we are fairly certain that it relieves both pain and toxicity with these tumors, but we don't know if it "cures" them. It's tremendously helpful with early diagnosis situations, which, alas, these canine sarcomas rarely are. It is also nearly miraculous in some very advanced situations but we have yet to be able to predict who will respond and why. Is it a lifetime treatment? I'm not sure what you mean, but if it works, it is something one should consider taking on an ongoing basis. Good luck, | ||
| Ruth |
Thank you for your previous response for treatment for Ajax, my 10 year old lab who has a soft tissue sarcoma. I am hoping you can clarify a few things for me. Since her surgery a couple of months ago, I am already starting to feel new tumor growth in the area. I just started Ajax on the black salve internally. The dosing instructions are for a 21 day run of 7 days on and 2 off X 3 and to do it 2 or 3 times a year as a preventive measure. In Ajax case, is this dosing ok since we know she has cancer? Also, I am hesitant but not opposed to using the black salve externally but in the case of a dog I worry about keeping the site clean. You suggested previously the use of something externally that is not an escherotic to draw off the toxins. What would you suggest? Another question is that since I am using the black salve internally, can I additionally use the trifolium and the artemisia annua at the same time? | ||
| Ingrid |
Ruth, I think you can use the trifolium as well as the Artemisia annua, but the external black salve is very painful. I tried it on my dog, who had been x-rayed but not biopsied. She gnawed at her leg and when I tried to change the dressings, it was basically a major battle of the wills. She won. I did not have the heart to force her. That was some years ago, and my learning has continued. Therefore, what I might suggest under the present circumstances is different than what I myself tried nine years ago. If there is discharge, you can use the poultice described in the appendix of my book. It's absolutely painless. If there is nothing on the surface, but you want something that might penetrate enough to slow down the growth, I might suggest the Fox liniment (which we make.) It's a more conservative strategy than an escharotic. This said, these conditions are notoriously difficult to treat and truthfully, I do not know of a single success story though I never stop praying for one. | ||
| Ruth |
Ingrid, Thanks for your response to my questions. It has certainly given me a place to start. I will add the artemisia annua and the trifolium. I will additionally visit a holistic vet in our area to help with changes in diet, etc. It is very hard for us to consider amputation which has been suggested. I will also try the Fox linament. I will keep you informed. | ||
| Ingrid |
Ruth, I wish you the best. I know how we love our critters (and they us) so we try our utmost. I have a theory based on my experience. Kaehi was a white Akita who was born during a thunderstorm in New Mexico where the noise and echoes can be deafening. There was a solar eclipse to boot, ergo her name which was my effort to translate Return of the Sun into Japanese. She was always extremely high strung, really alert, sociable, but terrified of lightning and thunder. She would hide in closets and tremble. She once broke a window to get into the house when she was outdoors when a storm came. I used to sedate her with homeopathic magnesium phosphate, yoghurt, trace minerals, etc. My theory is that the body has priorities; it has to choose, for instance, whether it is more important to have calcium in the bones or blood. If a dog or person is exercising, calcium moves from the blood into the bones and afterwards, the individual may have some cramping. When nervous, the calcium moves from the bones into the blood. Cancer appears wherever the body is weakest so I think Kaehi had weaker bones than my other dogs. I had a dynasty of white Akitas and though she was certainly the prettiest of all of them, she was also the smallest, not a runt by any means, truly a well-formed and gorgeous creature. When my veterinarian first saw her, he said, "Ingrid, you really did it this time. She's a princess." I've got another high strung dog now, a shelter dog named Tundra, who resembles Kaehi except that she is red. I give absolutely as much calcium as she wants, more bones, more trace minerals, yoghurt, cottage cheese . . . because I never want her to suffer like Kaehi did. You know, I have everything one could imagine here, more than a thousand formulas plus hundreds of bulk herbs, but Tundra, who hates to sit, will sit instantly if I so much as move the bottle of chewable trace minerals. She does not sit for most treats, just trace minerals: http://www7.safire.com/store/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SMS&Category_Code=MIN Good luck! | ||

Ingrid, I have used the escharotic salve. I am now interested in applying a drawing salve to be sure that I have all of the malignancy. I originally was going to try to make the German Kermesberro but you state in the book that many practitioners prefer herbal poultices to products containing tallow if some malignancy remains in the treatment site. Would Jones' Poultice Powder be appropriate? thanks - chris | ||
| chris |
Ingrid, I have another part to my earlier question. If I am trying to draw the cancer out would it make sense to add poke root to Jones' Poultice Powder? thanks again | ||
| Ingrid |
Chris, Oh how I hate these questions. As I was driving around today, I was thinking how difficult it is to imagine what a treatment site looks like and what any individual might need. I will therefore skirt your question a bit and you can try this response on for size. What the tallow-based products do is tug a bit. Patients report a sensation that sometimes goes right from a metastatic site to the primary site. In other words, the tugging suggests that the entire route taken by the cell(s) that gave rise to the metastatic mass is somehow affected by the tugging tallow. It is appropriate to use tallow if a mass is partially detached but not separating. However, if it is oozing a lot, the poultice absorbs the discharge and is a better choice when there is profuse purulent matter coming out of the site. Poke is used by a lot of people. It is mentioned in many books and is, of course, the basis of the German Kermesberro (a rather strange name for a Native American plant) -- and the Christopher formula is gentler than either the yellow salve or a poke root poultice. Fresh green poke root is aggressive and painful, but many have used this because Susun Weed and other authors mention it. Most people whose paths cross mine seem to prefer bloodroot; maybe it is an instinctive choice and those doing the poke send emails to Susun? I'll ask her next time we connect. The long and the short is that this is a judgment call and you either need to confer with someone experienced who can look at what's happening or make an educated guess on your own. I wish you a happy outcome and do report back on your choice and the effects. | ||

Dear Ingrid, A friend recently told me that her husband was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. They removed the cancer and one node that it was in. The doctor told her they would treat her husband just like they would if there were one infected node or six infected nodes. They did an X-ray to check the lungs and the liver and they were okay so far. I think he might be taking chemo. Is there anything else that he could try? | ||
| Ingrid |
Well, this is a holistic site and what he has done so far does not appear to be holistic so the real question is whether he is interested, open, or even mildly curious? Of course, there are many other treatments, but he would have to want to explore them before it is worth more investment of your time. Perhaps, what he really wants is support for the choices he has made? | ||

Hello, I treated an area about the size of a dime on my side close to my brest,that was slightly raised, whitish and rough with the black salve. The area where I put the salve did not do much but under it was a large quarter size area that reacted. There were three black spots in the area that reacted and just a little black spot at the edge of the area I thought was the problem area . It turned very red and swollen and in a week or so a whitish area sluffed out.From the beginning of applying the salve the whole thing burned like fire. Then it seemed to heal but the origional problem area did not go away and now is more raised up and if accidently scratched, because it does itch, it will blead just a bit. Should I try retreating it with the black salve .A couple of months ago I treated three other spots and I am very happy with the success. All went as expected from what I have read. Thank you for any advice. P.S. I did take pictures of the first treatment on my side if that would help with an answer. | ||
| Ingrid |
Chris, These questions are almost impossible to answer without seeing what is going on. My "stock" answer to everyone is to see a practitioner who is experienced with this method of treatment. Obviously, I keep thinking of some kind of way to upload pictures, but basically it's still always better to see someone in person. I went to Chinatown in Oregon last weekend and to Chinatown in Seattle a few days ago. They really do have a number of products that can be added to the salve to reduce the pain. Since some salves only method of destroying growths is by burning, you do not want to add something to those salves that affects the heat, just the pain. Everyone should keep Yunnan Paiyao on hand for bleeding. Any eschar will bleed if it is scratched or bumped hard enough. Large ones will bleed if people carry heavy items or stress the side of the body being treated. The risk of bleeding is small in the beginning, but it increases as the eschar is about to detach. The reason for writing my book was to explain all the preparations people should make before they start. Good luck. | ||
| Chris |
Good Afternoon Ingred, Thank you for replying. We live in a tiny town slightly in the middle of nowhere. I am afraid I do not know of anyone within 100 miles, really anyone anywhere, I can go to. We are in Cambridge ,Idaho, 50 miles from the Oregon border at Ontario, Oregon if you have any suggestions of someone to see in this area I would appreciate your information. Thank You Chris. | ||

Dear Ingrid, My name is Allison and we chatted this morning. I was wondering if you could elaborate on why you do not indicate eschaoteric (sp?) treatments for dogs? My dog has a fibro sarcoma near his nose and you recommend fox linament over the black salve. Please clarify, could you? Many thanks. Allison von Maur | ||
| Ingrid |
Allison, It's basically a matter of pain and nursing challenges. Most animals will struggle to remove the black salve and dressings. They will rub against something, scratch, and tear. They may even run away from home because they feel they need to escape what people are doing to them. Since you can't reason with them, you usually have to find another way, one that does not require the same level of cooperation. The liniment does not require any bandaging so it's easier to use. If it fails, you have other options, but it's always worth trying the simpler things first unless you really haven't a moment to lose. Even so, I wouldn't probably try the black salve on the nose of a dog. | ||

Ingrid, This is something new for me. I am a RN but strangely do not wholely believe and trust in the traditional medical/medicinal treatments. I don't know much about holistic medicine but the philosophy is something that is of great interest to me. With this is mind, my question is this: I have an area between my breast that appears to be a melanoma. I have a friend who once loudly proclaimed the benefits and efficacy of Bloodroot Cancer Salve. She sent me the formula for making it and I have thought about it many times before this as an alternative use for others. Her information sounds simple and uncomplicated but after reading on your site it appears that there is much to know before heading in this direction and that there is also preparation needed and required past just making the salve, putting it on the area of concern, covering it and not bothering it for 24 hrs, then cleaning it and keeping it soft for the next 5-7 days. I am really interested in trying it on myself or something comparable. I have an appt with a dermatologist for an evaluation (just to try to find out something) but I have always said that I would not take chemo/radiation treatments or have surgery should I ever get cancer. Because I have always been healthy, I rarely have gone to any doctors. I have also always said that I was not going to take medicine because I don't believe it heals or cures, but only masks/hides the symptoms. I have felt that I would be willing to take Vitamins/herbs/ supplements instead, but do not take any at this time other than Hyaluronic acid. I am not familiar with any natuopathic, homeopathic or holistic practioners. Can you give me any help on someone to work with, how to obtain advice or find such a practitioner and some direction? It will be greatly appreciated. I live in a small rural area just outside of Tyler/Athens/Canton Texas. Thanks for your time and consideration. After finding your website, it sounds as if I could greatly benefit from reading your book (which I plan or ordering.) As I learn more about you , your work and what I am doing, I am sure I will appreciate all more. Karen | ||
| Ingrid |
Karen, Sounds like you are ready to explore a career change? I believe that health is a state of integrity so healing has to lead one into resonance with one's deepest beliefs. In the long run, it's difficult not to walk one's talk. I don't post referrals on the bulletin board, but you might take a look at this web site: http://www.thyselfbehealed.com/index.htm Best wishes, Ingrid | ||

Dear Ingrid.. I'm finding it hard to get answers and navigating this site and so I'll ask my question here and come back later to check it out.."Lord willing that is"..Hahahaha ;-D I'm trying to find out how anyone has treated Squamous cell cancer which is what I have..It started under the tongue and moved forward to infect my lower gums .. I now have 2 tumors on either side of the mouth doing their best to utterly destroy my lower gums and ther's even a weird fold of skin (or is it a tumor) that has grown between the gum and the lower lip...I have been treating this cancer with the Cansema Salve and other things and there are eschars forming on the gums but they don't stay for long.. This is different than something like breast or skin cancer wherein one can apply a poultice with the salve and suck out the cancer..I have yet to come across anyone with this type of cancer on various sites and I'm at a loss as what to do?..I've heard of people being healed of tumors on the tongue but not of the mouth..(on the gums) I am a 67 year old male in excellent physical condition due to changes in my lifestyle since contracting this "dragon"; and it was after I had all of my teeth removed and fitted with new ones that the problems began..I have had Xrays re any amalgums etc...and there are none.. So please suggest a process that I could start with..I am reading your book which I ordered from the site and am searching for information in it that could help me..Perhaps you could point to a place in your book that I could find the answers.. Perhaps someone on this "board" could help me as well..I welcome any input.. melville | ||
| melville |
Ingrid; I have read your previous post to me; after searching the site again..You mention environmental dentists who have found that the cancer goes away after addressing the cause or root of the problem...Is this true in all cases of squamous cell cancer regarding the gums? This cancer is not "only" in the gums but other parts of the lower mouth as well and I fear that it could at anytime head for the throat or tongue..As I've mentioned before I have had Xrays which have shown no "cavitations" or other problems.. melville.. | ||
| Ingrid |
Melville, Your questions are fairly specific, too specific, I fear, for a bulletin board. You actually require the assistance of an expert. There are some environmental dentists who understand these issues. If you want a personal opinion, then I would suggest that while it is possible to remove amalgams and teeth, it is rarely possible to perform this work perfectly. By the time the amalgams have been removed, they have leeched most of their payload into the system. With extractions, the risk of infection is simply enormous. Therefore, I would begin with an assessment of your immune status. You might also have a totally independent dentist evaluate the fit of your new teeth. While I totally understand that you have an enormous crisis on your hands, I try to limit my comments on this board to general issues since the purpose of the site is to educate. This said, oral hygiene might be a place to start. You can take systemic immune boosters and use mouthwashes and gargles and topical applications with propolis (this helps the herbs to stick) but obviously, you cannot bandage or manage your condition in the same manner as a skin cancer. Good luck. | ||

Thanks Ingrid; Actually there has been a good development or outcome from reading on this site and your book..I've been preparing a solution of goldenseal (1/2 tsp to 2 cups filtered water) and a few drops of Oregano Oil and a pinch of cayenne for heat..Now I'm looking for some tumeric which I know I have stashed in the cupboard somewhere to add to this goldenseal solution..How much tumeric would you suggest to add to the 2 cups? I've been holding this solution over the gum area and the results are incredible..I'm feeling greatly encouraged...The tumors has decreased dramatically already.. I'm still using the Cansema salve which causes eschars and intense burning, and then I do the goldenseal to ease the pain and burning...It's amazing how well it works... I'm also using a healing clay mixed with Coloidal Silver and that works wonders as well when it comes to easing the pain of the Cansema salve.. I hope that this post will help others with squamous cell cancer..I'll continue to post as to my progress... Godbless you all melville | ||
