Black Salve Alternative Cancer Treatment (1)

Stephen Barret, makes either a deliberate or uneducated mistake and describes black salve contents
that are not even in the black salve recipe: “Many salves, pastes, poultices, and plasters have been
applied directly to tumors with the hope of burning them away. Zinc oxide, bloodroot, and several
other herbs are common ingredients”.
This is ENTIRLY incorrect; first of all the contents do not contain Zinc Oxide; the black salve
formula in question contains Zinc chloride (ZnCl2,). NOT Zinc oxide (ZnO), ZnO could never be
made to do the same function. 100% zinc chloride is not damaging to healthy tissue, it will
however “sting” if it comes in contact with an open cut and sting when it is treating cancerous tissue
in the body. To show Zinc chloride (ZnCl2,) is not corrosive to healthy skin, Greg Caton foinder of
Alpha Omega labs has gone to the effort to prove this and handled zinc chloride with his bare hands
in the escharotics video on the Meditopia site (2004).

Second of all, Quackwatch describes “in the hope of burning the tumor out”. Black salve does not
operate by “burning anything out”, or by “drawing” anything out, the process is understood to
remove the membrane around the cancer cell so the body can then recognize it and expel it
naturally. Healthy tissue does not get affected.
