Would you be surprised to know there is an effective skin cancer treatment…actually a skin cancer CURE for basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer? And it doesn’t require disfiguring surgery or leave scarring?

Well, I was surprised, and angry too, because last year both my mother and brother-in-law had several surgeries for skin cancers, apparently not informed about this simpler, topical treatment (if their doctors even knew about it).

In my mother’s case, the skin cancer was on her chest, over the breastbone area where the skin in thin and very sensitive. She had several surgeries to completely get rid of the cancer, and then developed keloid scars when they healed. You can imagine…she wasn’t too happy about that.

Then, a second dermatologist did some injections to try to reduce the scar. He did reduce the scar’s thickness, but my mother is still self-conscious when she wears blouses that show it.

From what I recently learned, I think she could have avoided all this...the pain, the doctors’ visits, the surgeries, even the scar!

What is the treatment?

This topical skin cancer treatment is called Curaderm-BEC5. It was developed by Dr. Bill Elliott Cham and is derived from a potent anti-cancer extract in the eggplant

This is amazing, but not surprising -- we hear more every day about the anti-cancer properties of fruits and vegetables.

What conditions does it treat?

Curader-BEC5 removes non-melanoma carcinomas and if that isn’t exciting enough, it also eliminates actinic keratoses, sometimes referred to as sunspots. These are pre-cancerous growths, but sometimes turn into cancer.

I know people who are constantly going to their dermatologist to have these removed. I have many of these myself, but have not had them removed yet due to the high cost. So, I am excited about trying this cream on myself.

How does it work?

In very simplistic terms, the basal cell and squamous cancer cells have certain “receptor sites” on their cells that normal skin cells do not. The eggplant extract can enter into the cancer cells through these receptor sites, and by a certain mechanism, destroy them. Since the normal skin cells do not have these receptor sites, the extract can not get in and they are left untouched. So, the cancer is gone, and the healthy tissue is unharmed.

Where can you get it?

I’m sure there are doctors and dermatologists using this product on their patients, but amazingly, you can order this product directly over the internet. The company website is http://www.curaderm.net . You’ll find information on the research studies, testimonials and photos of actual skin cancers that were healed, and how to order.

I wish I had known about this skin cancer treatment earlier – it could have helped my mother have a more successful treatment. It’s interesting that this information hasn’t been plastered all over the news by now. But word will get out and I’m encouraged to hear the word CURE associated with cancer.
