Alternative therapy

I have used eggplant extract with success on my basal cells. It is a slow process and lesions can recur. I continued the extract and the lesions shrank again. I was looking for something to.add and speed the process. I read of research that showed anti cancer effect of frankincense oil and case study showing complete remission of basal cell so I started using it. The lesion on my left cheek began to recede in a couple of days and is now almost entirely gone. The lesion on right ear has shrunk by more than half. ALL this in a few days time. I know of no other reports to equal this. Frankincense alone is also reported to take weeks as eggplant does. I am MD and lesions were con firmed as basal cell by biopsy.

  1. thank you for taking the time to share an alternative therapy that you have found helpful. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled with your dermatologist? Please let us know how you’re doing. Wishing you continued successful healing. All my best, Julie (team member)

    1. I have told you I achieved a complete elimination of the lesions. I do plan to have my cure validated by dermatologist here and will speak up about my treatment breakthrough where ever I can. I wonder if your answer is just or just the extreme hypocrisy in saying you care about empowering patients. Aren't you just a shill for the status quo for the dermatology establishment and Big Pharma?

      1. Above I meant to type "aren't you just AI?"

        1. we always appreciate members sharing their experiences. It’s such an important component of advocacy and increasing awareness! I can assure you that I (and others Health Union team members) am not AI. You’re connecting with real people! If you’re interested in learning more about Health Union, this faq page will hopefully help to answer your questions https://health-union.com/faqs/. We’re glad to have you as part of the community. Please do not hesitate to reach out anytime💙. Best wishes, Julie (team member)

      2. I just feel certain that you have absolutely zero interest in establishing cures for skin cancer, which is what you pretend. If you are not AI you do an incredible job of mimicry-hollow and robotic, lacking real empathy.


        1. Hi . We are here to support people who have skin cancer, but we are not medical experts. We share information about treatments (medical, alternative and complementary), but we do not advocate for specific treatments nor do we investigate potential cures. It's just not something we are equipped to do.
          We greatly appreciate that you shared what helps and we really do hope that it leads to a breakthrough in skin cancer treatment, but, if you are looking for someone to further research the impact of frankincense oil on skin cancer, that is not something we can do.
          Sharing what helps is a form of advocacy, as my colleague Julie noted. It can help spread the word about potential new treatments and stir interest in research. I hope you will continue to update us on your progress and, if you do go back to the dermatologist, I think it would interesting to hear what the doctor has to say. Maybe your experience will inspire your doctor to recommend frankincense oil for others.
          I hope you will continue to be active in the community and to share your experiences here. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
