Guest guest Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Sirs, I am a former deputy chief of a Cherokee Nation. My great grandmother was a cherokee medicine woman. I know of where I speak. My cherokee (actually it is pronounced TSAALAAGEE as there was no " R " sound in our native language) background is steeped in American Indian lore. DO NOT TAKE THE BLACK SALVE INTERNALLY. This is an external medicine. I watched my great grandmother cure a cancer on the face of my grandmother using the black salve. She had a scar on her face for the rest of her life but she lived. This is powerful stuff and can be used successfully for EXTERNAL skin conditions but is not safe for internal use. As a small boy I used to gather herbs from the forrest for her to make her remidies with. There is actually a (white man's) form of the black salve which has battery acid in it. Beware of such phoney concoctions. Respectfully, -ph Simons Cherokee name: The Strong Drum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
