Default melanoma

Hi u all

i know i dont come here often these days
but i do value all your knowledge so

i have a likkle probolemo

i have a not so little nasty.
i went to the homeopath last friday with a
raised red bump on my arm
that i have had for about 7 wks
i know i know i should have gone before
she tested it for many things
2 things that came up were
herpes zoster - we had it in the office
a week after this came up
which was one of the reasons
that i didnt get it checked before
as i thought it may be that.
the other was melanoma
heeelllllp ??!!!***??**?!!
i have some meds and
she says it should be ok
she did say to see the doctor
but i dont want to be cut.

for anyone that says dont trust the homeopath
if it is melanoma then the meds should heal it
(but i would like any extra advice)
if it isnt then i have just wasted £40

i dont remember who it is on here that uses
HEEL products

has anyone got any other brainwaves for me

i am eating mostly raw
drinking pau d'arco
taking reishi mushroom capsules
and taking the homeopathic meds

thanks in advance

lurve you all

Ani

Oh dear, now I am red-faced. I just hope Barbara is not on one her 12 hour day, 5 day long shifts, so if we are lucky she might turn up soon.
Sorry, 4dharma.

On a lunch break and checked in to see your post.

Alas. When I was into raw foods at at the peak of supposed excellence, thats when I got melanoma.

Most good dermatologists can give you a good idea if it is melanoma just by looking at it but of course they will want to biopsy. That remains your option. If they want to biopsy it is more likely that it is a cancer. It they say looks like nothing serious to me you can usually count on that. They prefer to be safe than sorry and will recommend a biopsy if they have doubt.. Usually melanoma is dark brown or blackish, and may raise up slightly and peel off the top. Red can also occur but not as common. when I had mine difinitatively diagnosed it was turning white and bluish. I had a friend who was a med student at the time and he encouraged me to get it checked right away. Go to a dermatologist that specializes in skin cancer.

Now when you say tests are you talking about hocus pocus testing? Melanoma is not to be messed with. It is deadly. Although I had mine for about 4 or 5 years before I had it checked out, (due to ignorance) it was still a stage one. Some people get it and are dead in less than a year. I had it surgically removed. They can't tell what stage it is until after the surgery. No reoccurence in 25 years.

These days if I thought I had melanoma I would use black salve ointment. You can go to that other forum and contact djt as she is quite knowledgeable about it and she should be able to tell you where to get it. Many people use this for melanoma.

If you use the ointment and it reacts I have been told then it is cancer. It it does not react it is some other kind of growth.

When it comes to homeopathy you will have to consult with a homeoapth who can work outside of the constitutional thinking box. Constitutional remedies do not always cure cancer. There is a book called "A Homeopathic Approach to Cancer" by A. U Ramakrishnan. He describes the treatment of melanoma with homeopathic remedies. I would not leave it to heel preparations to take this task on. The treatment with his methods is complex but offers the best hope.

I would also be inclined to try The Ramakrishnan method of homeopathy, since I could probably figure it out myself. I know no homeopaths in my neck of the woods that practice this application of homeopathy.

Ah, but your in UK. The British Institute of Homeopathy (do a search on it) may assist you in locating a homeopath familiar with The Ramankrishnan method. They now offer advanced training in this method through their school.

Best,
Arrow

Dont be all red faced my sweet
i really appreciate what you did
and they have both flown down south to be with us
at this time of great need.
it was the Heel i was interested in as that is the meds
the homeopath has put me on.
i think the actual melanoma one is Heel as well
i am not sure as some are preperations in brown glass.

anyways i will investigate Heallix cheers for that Joyce.

Interesting about just when you thought you were doing
so well on raw.
i was just about 100% until about 1 month ago
from last July (13mths)
after the last little scare.
i am still 75>80% and feel the best i have
since i can remember.
i was looking at the devil site
on a melanoma thread and as usual
it was a nightmare to read with the abuse going on
so i gave up in the end
shame as it could have been really useful
but i dont need all that abuse in my life
and i have looked at Djt site before
i did think it was a good idea to get the salve.
"A Homeopathic Approach to Cancer" by A. U Ramakrishnan
sounds like a good book to invest in.

i have another likkle probalemo
i am off to Thailand for 6 mths on thursday.
i will order the salve when i get there as it will not reach here in time now.
i am pretty sure you couldnt buy it in UK.

i have had this beauty for 7 wks
i am sort of thinking
most people probably wouldnt even notice
(being in a 'hidden' place such as the back)
they had it for a while
maybe that is why they die within a year.
i wonder was yours obvious from the beginning
is that why you knew you had it for 5 years.
mine is on my lower arm and it was just suddenly there
about 7 weeks ago.

anyways i am thinking maybe i have got
more than 6mths before i have to start
thinking about doing something.

please correct me if you think i am wrong
on this one.

like i say i am taking the Heel products
and the homeopath is pretty sure it will sort it out
i am going to phone her on Tues (yikes) when she is back to work.
i find out if she is sure this will sort it or
if i need more meds (i will pick up from her).

i am also taking reishi capsules
i have nearly run out but i bought them in Thailand
so i will get more when i get there.

i am putting wee on it (must start drinking again)

eating raw

drinking pau d'arco

i am going to get some salve tho
i will go back into Djt site and get some more info.

the other thing of course is

it may be the herpes zoster
it is sort of kind of maybe like a blisterish type of thing
but they dont last for this long do they
and would it just be 8x3mm (roughly)
it is the only one i have
on the inside of my lower left arm.
it came up a week before someone
else in the office had shingles.

and the melanoma maybe some where else on my body
i have had a hunt but cant find anything that looks like one
i have quite a few different things appeared over the years.

as the homeopath only uses the machine where you hold
the things in your hand
so she wouldnt know where it would be located.

all things to be considered
thankyou so much all of you

Well, if it is a blister like thing I doubt it is melanoma.

Mine appeard like an irregular shaped mole suddenly on my shoulder. It looked and acted like a regular mole except for its irregular shape for years, until it started to change color. It did this for maybe 2 years before I went to a doctor.

If you do the black salve be sure you get the right stuff. You will need lots of Tegraderms (other names, Opsite, its a clear water proof dressing that allows air to move through the membrane) This is why I say talk to djt as she has direct experience but you can also go to
www.cancersalves.com The site for Ingred Naiman who wrote the book Cancer Salves. And if you choose to use this salve I strongly recommend her book.
The proceedure must be done carefully and explicitily by the rules.
I contacted Ingrid. She can no longer sell the salve due to legal problems but she did provide a contact for me, which I went and lost.

The book also explains other healing salves that are sometimes used for cancer under certain circumstances that you may want to know about. Make sure you have all the materials you need before you start.

I do not know of any particular remedy for melanoma within the heel products.. You can certainly give it a try as I do not think it would make anything worse.

If it is some kind of herpes it should itch or burn, the blister eventually break to an open ulcer for a while then heal over.

My mother in law had an unusual cancer on her breast that felt like a water filled sack. Not really a blister. Deeper under the skin. It was surgically removed and she was fine after that, over 10 years of no return.

As far as how much time you have before starting treatment. Who can say. Sometimes melanoma ( or any cancer for that matter) goes VERY fast, other times not so fast. Some cancers are known for thier speed or slowness in development but I have seen it both ways with melanoma. The variables can not be predicted. Watch it. I would measure it in millimeters and keep a record. There is no certainty that it is melanoma. There are other cancers that have a similar look as you described or it could be something totally different. This is why I would have a good dermatologist look at it. Correct diagnosis is very important whenever you go to select a treatment. You need to know what you are dealing with. "know thine ememey"

You know, when it comes to serious disease it is always my position to have a second opinion. Wrong diagnosis is made every day. You can spend a lot of time and energy living in worry, chasing your tail around.

thankyou for such a thorough answer.
when i say blister it isnt really just a bit bumpy that looks blistery
no bursting has happened and not big enough to do so.
this is pinky/reddy
i did go on to Ingrids site it is very informative

what has just occoured to me i have had this nodule thing under my skin for quite a few years. about 2" away from the 'thing' in a direct line round the arm. i had forgotten that. it is still there.

i will get a second opinion as i dont think this ever hurts and the homeopath did say i was to see a doctor (the law says she has too).
it is just the timing is c***. maybe i could see someone in thailand as the hospitals out there are pretty good. barring the latest Dr Death thing in CM.

anyway getting off that can i ask you some personals

how long were you raw?
are you still raw?
how is it going?

thanx again Arrow

I am no longer raw. I could not tolerte it when I moved from warm San Deigo to cold and damp Monte Rio Califronia. Was close to comple raw about 3 years except for some veggie and seaweed soups in the winter and an occasional yogurt. Remained vegetarian for 13 years. During my first pregnancy I started eating a lot of fish. Found I did so much better on heavier protien. Been nonvegetarian now for 20 years and have come to feel that I am significantly stronger for it.

How am I doing? Thats a loaded question. I can say I am alive and strong and battling the enemy everyday and will likely need to do so till the day I die.

I am glad you are going to get a second opinion. Your best defense comes from accurate information. Worry is such an energy sucker. Worry based in delusion is such a waste. Your energy needs to be focused on the cure not the diagnosis. You can't have a direction to cure until the diagnosis is clear and correct. Homeopathy can cure without a diagnosis but be careful. A remedy should not take forever to cure. Weeks to a month or two at the very most to see improvement. Measure your lesion. You can even photograph it. You must SEE resutls not rely on dowsing, radionics or any mysterious information. The proof is ALWAYS in the pudding.

In the Ramankrishnan method of homeopathic treatment of cancer the condition is assessed every two to 4 weeks and the remedy is changed if no progress. The Homoepathic hospital in London may have homeopatic doctors who have access to advanced diagnositics and use the Ramankrishnan method. Again, The British Institute of Homeoapthy may have someone who can direct you to a Ramankrishnan practioner. This system has the highest cure rate for cancer with homeopathy.

http://www.nhs.uk/England/Hospitals/....aspx?id=RRV60
I am not sure how truly homepathic this hospital is. No first hand experience with them. Just found it on the net some years ago.

I love your answer to how am i doing.
i was actually talking the raw food thing
but you have answered that.

i agree in the summer i never had a problem
but since we have lost our sun

i know raw can be heated but whenever i try that i dont
really know if i am going over the 115.
and often i just feel like i need a jacket spud
or something else in this weather.

oh well i'll live till i die (wasnt that Grand Funk Railroad)
so no point fretting over it.

thanx for the info on the Ramankrishnan method

When it's spelt like that you are talking about the inheel range of homeopathic products - possible Traumeel cream for that application - this link goes to a supplier - but you need a therapist to tell you for sure - try the link anyway - it might give you an idea.
