Hi,

I spoke to a man recently who told me he had removed over 250

skin cancers on himself over many years by using a once only application of a

balck

salve containing zinc chloride. One application reoved the skin cancer he

said, some of which were an inch in diameter and half an inch deep, he

said. The cream he used was called cansema. It caused some pain for two

days he said, after two weeks he said the skin cancers simply drop off.
