Black Salve Indonesia

Profile Mr. M.
Disease Category 3
Severe skin tumors, cancers, parasites; abnormal skin growth, metastatic skin cancer, visible lymphoma

Warning! Graphic!

Mr. M. came by asking for financial help with the removal of a lump on his forehead.

Mr. M. Day 1. Large hard nodule on his forehead. Looks innocent enough.

A local MD wanted $100 USD to cut open Mr. M's forehead and remove "whatever it was" ailing him. A previous doctor had informed Mr. M. that the bump was nothing to worry about, regardless of the steadily increasing size and discomfort it caused. 

The fact now remains that any MD who opened this tumor would have only found 'the tip of an iceberg.' There was much more below it than met the eye.

He'd been complaining to me about it for three years. As I had previously treated him for a skin piercing, a bamboo stake that had been driven through his hand, Mr. M decided his treatment was to be here, no other would do. I'd refused to to treat him for over a year, not sure he was ready for this alternative known as Black Salve. He'd known nothing about the Black Salve cure until this date, November 30, 2009.

Mr. M. has only known traditional or native Balinese medicines his entire life, he'd never experienced surgery by an MD and was reticent to go. He was more than eager to try the Salve. Whether the tumor was malignant or benign, it could still be removed with Salve.

Here's his treatment log.

Mr. M. Monday, November 30, 2009, Bali.
An appointment every evening at 7:30.

Day 1: Monday November 30, 2009.

I had assumed this to be a simple fibroid or fatty deposit on the forehead. About 2.5 cm in diameter, 1.5 cm tall. It had been steadily growing over five years. He said it due to a fall and perhaps sand and/or a parasite entering the wound. Chances are he never looked at the wound in a mirror, nor sought medical attention. He said he hadn't cleaned it.

Blood pressure and temperature normal. Age 64.

I gave him a "0" gel cap containing one large scoop of Black Salve orally, with water.

I cleaned with 95% alcohol, and prepared the tumor site by poking it several times with a medium moxibustion needle.

Needling allows:

1) If pain is felt (none), indicating presence of nerves and how foreign the body is,

2) If there is blood present (there wasn't, except very little at the skin surface),

3) The qualities of the tumor (hard, difficult to penetrate, indicating difficulty if administering Salve), and

4) Speeds up the process.

I put approximately one tiny BSI scoop of Traditional Black Salve/ Compound A - STRONG on middle of tumor, and later covered it with a standard Band-Aid. I Asked him not to wear his hat, to please keep the area dry, not scratch, etc.

Day 2: Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Patient enthusiastic. Reports no stomach problems from internal medication. But had "ants" sensation on lips and mouth.

Fatty tumor has thick skin, the Black Salve applied has only nearly penetrated to the tumor, indicating healthy skin, no cancer below.

I washed the salve clean with alcohol, and applied a larger amount, covering with standard Band Aid. It's okay to use alcohol on the first stages. When the area has opened, it is better to use soap and water, or hydrogen peroxide, if needed.

I gave a double amount of Traditional Black Salve/ Compound A - MILD in capsule, two scoops from the small BSI spoon. I advised patient to eat as soon as possible. Full moon tonight, patient has to attend a very large ceremony at the largest Hindu temple in the area.

Blood Pressure normal, indicating no major disease (yet) being fought.

Day 3: Wednesday, December 2, 2009.

No major changes yet. Cleaned off the salve with ethanol, and applied new salve, 1  scoop. Covered with standard Band Aid. Blood pressure and body indications all normal. Subject animated. Did not administer oral medicine.

Mr. M. complained of pain over much of the top of his head, as well as his nose and cheek bone area, and under the right eye. This was our first indication of the extent of his infection - large.

Day 4, Thursday, December 3, 2009.

Day 4. Appears to be a difficult tumor in that small amounts of Salve are affecting a large area: the tumor us swelling and reacting to the medicine. On softer tumors there may already be evidence of separation. Here necrosis has only barely begun. It appears, by the raised outline caused by the Salve, the tumor has descended into the bridge of the nose and perhaps below.

The tumor is by far larger than previously believed, as evinced by the very large swollen perimeter.

Mr. M. appears tired. The medicine has had a profound effect.

A "V" has descended from the tumor to the bridge of the nose. It’s possible he may have a cancer after all. Cleansed the application site and administered new Salve, about 1 cm in diameter (after this photo), but a lesser amount this time. Covered with a sealing bandage. It appears a long-term sinus infection is now draining.

No internal medicine given. Decided it better to slow down the process, considering his elimination is at a satisfactory level, and not wanting to stress him more than necessary.

He complained of chills during the afternoon. All indicators were normal upon his usual arrival time of 7:30 pm.

Day 5, Friday December 4, 2009.

BP borderline low. Patient fatigued, said slept three hours during afternoon, did not attend ceremony (big deal in Bali) nor work. Felt guilty.

The effect of the Salve worked itself down into the bridge of his nose, 3 cm further than the lower edge of the tumor. Obvious indication of actual virus, more than just the fatty tumor we’d thought it to be. Main node near dead, evidence the body is beginning to push it free now.

Cleaned and applied more salve, but less, covered with small sealed bandage.

Contemplating supplementing with more internal, to help push out any virus. He appears in good general health, certainly a man 20 years his junior, can’t rule out the affects of plastic burning, MSG, and other local contaminants.

He handles pain very well. I’ve never seen anyone better at it.

Day 6, Saturday December 5, 2009.

Day 6. We had ceased topical application for one day, and swelling subsided almost completely. Only slight evidence of the tumor in the bridge, and below the right eye can be seen. Just below his right eye is a small nodule that later swelled. From this we discern the tumor possibly metastatic. Other areas atop his head were less visible, but highly painful, beginning the third day of treatment.

I never cease to be amazed at the effectiveness of this medicine.

He told of immense discharges from his right eye, a long string of mucous and water as well. There was a pocket of swelling below his right eye. The swelling in this temple and nose bridge has lessened almost completely. But the tumor had grown in size. There was yet no sign of the tumor beginning to separate. But it was harder, where it had been spongy before.

Resumed oral medication. Double scoop of med in a 0 cap.

Day 7, Sunday December 6, 2009.

The tumor has not yet, visibly at least, begun to separate, but it's hinting in that direction. A little later than usual. I wonder the potency of the salve I'm using now.

But that's not to say we're without reaction. The swelling below his eye has increased in size and area. Very fluid, watery. But not in his sinuses, no discharge from there. Completely sub-dermal.

Nothing oral this time. Put one small scoop over the center of the tumor and covered with a very large surgical-type taped bandage, looks like a very large Band Aid.

Blood pressure was a little below normal, which is usual for Mr. M.

Day 8, Monday December 7, 2009.

Little progress in the ejection of the tumor, no visible evidence that it is beginning to remove itself. A small amount of Salve was placed on the center of the nodule and then bandaged. The nodule is cleaned with 95% alcohol each time before new Salve is placed. He felt no sensation from the alcohol, indicating there is no healthy tissue in the area. No Salve orally. Given 5 Tylenol caplets.

Day 9, Tuesday, December 8, 2009.

At first I'd thought there little change. No evidence of the tumor beginning its "mushrooming" from the body. Didn't appear as though the tumor had begun separation.

I scraped it a little, to find a soft stone-like nodule beneath dead skin. I am now convinced that it was more than a fatty tumor, that it may have been metastatic, perhaps even parasitical, but no evidence showed of animal parts from just under the surface. The possibility of the nodule being metastatic is further evinced by the "finger" that had descended through his bridge and nose, to below his right eye. The swelling in this finger has ended, further evincing the actuality as well as the death of the tumor.

We elected to multiple-puncture, to within 4 mm, the periphery of the Styrofoam-like structure, to determine if there remained any living tissue. We saw none within a 3 cm diameter. Seems Mr. M's ability to push out foreign bodies is limited. I question his white-cell count. Salve as applied as a ring around the periphery of the nodule, in expectation of the scar growing larger and perhaps initiating the body's response to push out the tumor.

I now realize that in my desire to limit scaring, I've not been aggressive enough. I've not applied enough medicine over a large enough area.

Mr. M. was given a capsule with two small scoops of Mild Salve, to swallow with water. He was also given five more Tylenol caplets, for use over the following 24 hours. He said the Tylenol was strong enough.

His blood pressure indicated lower again, slightly below normal at 109/45. Temperature was normal. But he's a small man, mostly vegetarian diet. Hindu. Lower BP appears normal for him. He works gardens and land every day, is on good physical condition.

Day 9. Tumor swelling, but still alive. Skin pores can be seen in the dead tissue, indicating we've not yet reached the heart of the tumor. But swelling is increasing, indicating the effectiveness of the Salve.

Day 10, Wednesday December 9, 2009.

We elected to cut beneath the dead skin to enable faster process. I used a standard surgical blade, carved the center of the tumor to nearly one centimeter in depth. The tumor was very hard, sinewy, difficult to cut. I believe it not fully dead yet, mainly because of the cream color. Mr. M. felt no pain, was only amazed by the sound of the cutting that transferred into his ears, a subject of repeated conversation.

I was relieved to find that the tumor had actually begun to separate, if but very little though. I was also glad to have cut approximately 10% of it away, perhaps empowering the Salve to work into the under portion of the tumor. Generally by the ninth day, the tumor has fully separated. But this tumor is unusual, of a very tough consistency.

Day 10. The Salve is not yet causing the tissue to slough off fast enough. We have to be more aggressive and apply more Salve than customary. I scraped a small amount of dead tissue from the center of the tumor, using a small, lighter surgical blade. The blade was not strong enough for this cement-hard tumor. Could the patient be dehydrated?

I applied a generous amount of Strong Salve to the wound. The Salve had been lesser effective due to the barrier of the dead tumor, that blocked the medicine from getting to the edges of the tumor. I had wanted to minimize scaring, and avoid making the wound any larger than possible. But I have to keep in mind that Mr. M has had this tumor for more than five years, and he is expecting a scar. But he wears a hat most of the time, and keeps it covered well, so was not concerned about scaring. He said it would give him 'something to talk about, to show his bravery'.

Last night was the first night he'd had trouble sleeping. He suffered from itching over his entire head, shortness of breath, restlessness, and possibly a low-grade fever. But he showed no fever or other problems during the treatment. I'm glad fever finally occurred, an indication the medicine is working as desired.

From what we have discovered,the tumor had fingers radiating into the top of his head, as well as his face. Allopathic surgery would not have cured this beast. But this longer-than-usual treatment is absolutely getting to the root of the problem.

I have not observed any of the normal "psychological separation" issues that I've seen in other cases. The patient was not experiencing the normal depression or loss generally associated with other patients' tumor loss. But he has now stopped working, as he feels weak and a little nauseous.

Day 11, Thursday, December 10. 2009.

Interesting visit this time. The visible area of the tumor had shrunk in size by about 50%. From this standpoint, the cutting we did last evening has had a profound effect, in that the Salve better entered the tumor and gave it a death throw, or so it seemed.

The skin below Mr. M's eyes had swollen, but less-so at the time of the visit than during the previous morning. He said his eyes teared a lot during the night and morning, but there was no mucous discharge like on Day 6. He also told of painful, spider-leg-like feelings of pain extending over the crown of his head. What ever tendrils of the virus/tumor that had extended throughout his head are now dead or dying.

We stopped application of Salve now, the first day without since beginning therapy. But I did not clean a portion the remaining Salve from the wound. Instead I placed Vaseline gel in the wound, to keep it moist, to aid in the body's ejection of the dead tumor. I prefer to leave some Salve in the wound, though it may add to pain, as an antiseptic measure. Obvious separation of the tumor had begun. Complete ejection should occur rapidly now.

I'm glad to report there have been no motor or brain function anomalies, and indication that the tumor has not entered the brain.

Both Mr. M. and I are convinced that had the tumor been simply cut-out, the virus would not have been cured, and could possibly spread due to exposure. Considering the extent of the infection, from lower face to the back of his head, this cure may prove the better of them.

Cleaned the wound and added Vaseline around the edges to prevent drying. We had hoped it began to separate by now.

Day 12, Friday, December 11, 2009.

Not much progress, as I had hoped, at least at first glance.

Elected to cut away more of the tumor. Discovered that it has pushed up from the skull, and concentrated to the center, resulting in an increased diameter of nearly 4 cm from the 2.5 visible the first day.

This is a very strange tumor, difficult to cut, difficult to penetrate with salve, difficult to kill. But it is retracting. And there are signs that it is separating. We found the healthy-skin-edge by cutting away tumor on the edge (indicated the boundaries of the tumor, indicated by the presence of blood).

He's been provided with 5 tablets of 500 mg acetaminophen each night, that he used over the following 24 hours. He says the relief they bring over the day is enough, does not need stronger.

I wanted  to burn away much of the tumor with Acetic Acid, but my supply had aged and evaporated. It's now obvious that sometimes one has to burn away healthy tissue to get to the unhealthy. In the case of Mr. M, thick tissue and thicker tumor has prevented the Salve from penetrating to the sides and underside of the tumor. It's rare that cutting-away of the tumor is needed, Mr. M. has been that exception.

Day 13, Saturday December 12.

Simple exam this time. Decided to give Mr. M. a break, no Salve or cutting. Added Vaseline to the wound in an effort to soften it for cutting on Day 14. Still no sign of the tumor separating from the skull.

Mr. M. spoke of fingers reaching to the back of his head, and again into his right face. We now know the tumor is extensive.

Day 14, Sunday December 13.

Performed surgery on the tumor, but was only able to remove about 20%, without causing damage to the surrounding tissues. This hard and sinewy tumor is nearly three times larger than what was visible 14 days ago. It had fingers or roots extending to the back of the head, and under the right eye. About half the forehead is/was host to the tumor. Looks as though he will have a 3 cm diameter scar. The Vaseline had little benefit in terms of softening the tumor.

Cleaned the wound, added a large amount of salve. Covered with cotton pad and tape. Gave gel cap with 4 scoops of salve for internal use. I've found that with Indonesians, who consume spicy food containing ginger root, that more needs to be given than with westerners, as Indonesians are accustomed to weating potent roots in their diets.

Gave one Vicodin for pain during surgery. He had little, as there is little sensation in the tumor area. But he did experience great burning from the salve placed on the open tumor. Fortunately the pain generally subsides within 20 to 30 minutes of application.

Day 15, Monday, December 14.

Finally, some action. The large dose of both internal and external Salve last night had a profound effect today. His face and eyes were greatly swollen in the morning, nearly normal this evening. The actual tumor had shrunk considerably. The insertion cutting under placement of Salve was effective. The outer surrounding healthy skin was shrinking and wrinkling over the shrinking tumor below it. I hope that skin can remain, reducing the size of the scar a little. Certainly the tumor under the skin is finally ebbing as well.

This evening I left the remnants of the large dosage of Salve in place, covering it with a generous amount of Vaseline. Covered with a cotton square, held in place by tape, as is usual.

I gave him one capsule with four to five scoops of Salve, deciding to continue internal to help push out the tumor. He complained of pressure and pain over the top and back of his head, plus the swelling of his eyes. His eyes mostly teared a lot, very little mucous discharge, which I assume will occur later on.

Only one Vicodin last night, he didn't want any more. But still consuming around five 500 mg Acetaminophen per 24 hours. Appetite healthy. His diet remains simple, good for a Salve regimen.

His blood pressure in the upper normal range for the first time, indicating his body is finally working at eliminating the tumor. Upper normal is high for Mr. M. Temp nornal this evening, but was higher in the morning.

I greatly admire his bravery and ability to handle extreme pain in a very sensitive place.

Day 16, Tuesday December 15.

Cut and removed dead tumor tissue, I estimate 25% total has been removed now. Mr. M. is a very good patient. Covered the area with Vaseline and bandaged. No Salve either internal or external. Blood pressure upper normal, plus slightly elevated temperature. We both agreed to slow his therapy a little, not to overwhelm his body.

Eyes and surrounding tissues swollen. Tearing throughout the day.

Day 17, Wednesday December 16.

This has to be the toughest tumor I've ever seen. The escharotics are slow to eat it, cannot easily penetrate it. And the tumor is, essentially, glued as though with epoxy, to Mr. M's skull. In order to surgically remove the tumor, it appears multiple incisions from below the eye to the top of the head might be needed, leaving terrible disfigurement. As it stands, he will have a 3 cm diameter scar, at best, in the middle of his forehead. The hole is approximately 1 cm deep.

Day 17. The tumor has cratered 1 cm in the center. It's 3 cm in diameter. No visual evidence that it will soon separate from the host. Notice the swelling under the perimeter skin, raised about 2cm.

His eyes remain swollen. New development is swelling above the nose bridge. Cutting below the skin, the lower part of the tumor, revealed tissue going to the bridge is still living. The tumor appears much larger than I'd thought.

So, it's become time to be more aggressive with the external application. I sliced circumambulate under the remaining skin, as well is all areas exposed.  Then massaged Salve into the slices, using a wood stick swab, and a lot of Salve. Covered with cotton and held with tape. The cuts should allow much quicker melting of the tissue, along with forced impaction of the Salve.

Administered 2 scoops in a gel cap for internal. Half the amount given two days ago. Mr. M. complained of long-term stomach burn on from Tuesday's dosage.

Day 18, Thursday December 17.

Much swelling below and around the eyes, especially the right eye. Eye red. Some white discharge, a lot of clear discharge through the day. Less pain. More swelling in the bridge area.

Used a number 12 blade to excise another 20% of known tumor (sharper and larger blade). Noticed more tumor is still living at the base, the bridge area above the nose. Diameter increasing a little. Not optimistic about keeping the scar area small.

Applied a large amount of Salve, pushing it into the cuts made earlier. Bandaged with cotton and tape, as usual.

Gave two scoops in gel cap.

Day 19, Friday, December 18.

A quick visit this evening. Did not clean the wound, electing to leave the dried medicine in place. Filled the area with Vaseline, to enable moisture and ease of separation. Covered with cotton patch and placed with tape.

At last there is real evidence of separation. Mucous pockets forming around the perimeter. Some drained a little. The tumor has subsided some, the opening now about 6 mm deep, was 1 cm deep yesterday. Remains over 3cm wide. This will be an amazing scar. I can only jest that, as a Hindu, the villagers will see it as a third eye. Mr. M. is highly respected and widely feared in this community. The swelling in the bridge and under the eyes has subsided as well. I'm cautiously optimistic about the progress now.

The top of his head was warm, indicating some healing was taking place on the crown area. He complained of headache in the crown region.

Decided to give Mr. M. a break from external application, due to headaches and fatigue. Did not want to aggravate aging issues.

Mr. M. was highly fatigued, fell asleep on the exam table for two hours. I covered him with a blanket and put his feet up on a pillow.

Administered two scoops in a gel cap for internal continuation.

Day 20, Saturday, December 19, 2009.

At long last. Mr. M. has experienced a healing crisis. He awoke to intense vomiting and fear, as well as hot sweats and severe crown headache through the morning. He came to my office around noon. 

After questioning, we had come to agree that Mr. M. had this morning vomited mostly mucous, with bile, and some blood. After drinking some water I offered, I was able to watch as he vomited a second time. I was amazed to see dead parasites in the vomit, but no blood. The parasites appeared as 1.5 cm beetle-type animals, similar to watermelon seeds. He'd eaten only rice for breakfast, with banana later on. No evidence of worms.

After further questioning, he had passed a dark blood stool right after vomiting the first time, earlier this morning. His second stool, later this morning, was normal, not discolored.

His face had cleared, looked more normal. The swelling had reduced considerably under and around his eyes. His eyes had mostly cleared of bloodshot. I cleaned the remaining Salve from the wound, and noticed more separation was occurring, evinced by pus welling up from below the skin around the perimeter. I covered with more Vaseline and cotton bandage with tape.

Day 20. Mr. M. has just endured is first rough healing crisis.
Vomiting during the night was the result of the elimination of parasites. And his face has mostly cleared of swelling. Here is seen evidence of a much larger mastasis than previously thought.

Blood pressure was lower normal. Slight fever. Hot sweats. I made peppermint, chamomile, and ginger tea with honey for him. Also a small meal of tempeh and green vegetables was greatly appreciated. His stomach had settled and he was feeling much better. He slept for two hours before returning home. He had returned to being his vibrant and enthusiastic self, indicating that the tumor had mostly died and that withdrawal had from the toxins it exuded had lessened.

Day 21, Sunday December 20, 2009.

A slight characteristic smell of rotting flesh came from Mr. M. for the first time. Though this sounds bad, it's a good indicator of the body beginning to remove the tumor, a long-past-due need. The tumor is ringed by a puss-filled pocket, covered by dying skin. I did not want to disturb it too much, not wanting it to dehydrate it.

I cleaned the wound as best I could, then applied Salve to all exposed areas. Some of the tumor has not yet died. Tough tumor! I also administered 1 scoop in a gel cap for oral consumption. Observed Mr. M. for half an hour, no adverse reactions. He experienced itching around the perimeter of the tumor, a good sign. Stomach no problems, more indication that he was expelling parasites two days ago.

He's been using around 5 tablets of Acetaminophen 500 mg per day. His diet remains simple and fairly clean. Rice, cooked greens, some local fruit, a lot of water.

His energy had returned somewhat, but for the first time accepted a ride to and from home via motorbike. He lives more than 400 meters away, uphill from here.

Day 22, Monday December 21, 2009.

Cleaned and dressed the wound. Added a large amount of Salve. One scoop internal. He's a little weak, not eating, but doing well.

Day 23, Tuesday, December 22, 2009.

Some progress, not as fast as would like it.There is some evidence that the tumor is pushing out, but not all of it. Exposed area is 4 mm in diameter.

Excised more tumor, enough to help the medicine enter better. Put Salve on the newly exposed areas, and Vaseline on the older areas. Bandaged as usual.

He vomited the internal gel cap, which had contained two scoops. Will have to give only one scoop for the time being.

He's only using 3 Acetaminophen tables per day now, meaning less pain. He's till having headaches, around the top of his head, which one would expect. Still experiencing hot sweats. Sleepless at night. Not eating enough.

Day 24, Wednesday, December 23, 2009.

Quick visit this evening. Examined the tumor, added Vaseline and re-bandaged. Left the Salve in place from yesterday., but covered with Vaseline to keep it all moist.

Evidence that about half the perimeter of the tumor is dead and becoming ready to push out. The rest, the lower portion, has shrunk.

Had a major discussion about drinking more water. Mr. M. is dehydrated, causing everything from constipation, dry eyes, dry skin, small urine, headaches, etc. The larger problem is the inability of the wound to produce mucous and fluids to push out the tumor. The Balinese drink very little water on the average. His son has agreed to try to get him to drink 1.5 liters per day. Now he drinks perhaps 300 ml. He pees three times per day, each time very yellow.

Day 25, Thursday, December 24, 2009.

Progressing very slowly. The exposed area of the tumor has increased to 5cm in diameter. I had no choice but to clean and medicate again, with Salve over the entire tumor area. No blood in the tumor, only on the extreme edges.

BP ok, body temp ok. Mr. M. is eating normally. And finally, he's drinking enough water to get the elimination action going. He said he peed six times today, normally only three.

Gave one small scoop in a gel cap. I think I will revise the internal salve, by using Zinc Citrate instead of the usual Salve compound that includes Zinc Chloride, perhaps a little rough now that the parasites have been eliminated from his digestive track. I hope his white cell count will increase now, and perhaps his body will begin to push out the tumor.

Day 26, Friday, December 25, 2009.

I've elected to make an inject-able Salve. Used 2% solution. Injected/ skin-popped in approximately 30 sites. Then covered with Vaseline.

I've decided to cease all surface Salve application for now. Probably could have stopped a long time ago, if not for the severe dehydration of the patient. He's finally drinking at least 1 liter of water per day (I've requested 1.5) and is now able to perspire and the wound is now beginning to produce mucous and fluids.

Gave one scoop Salve in a gel cap. Mr. M. later told me he vomited soon after returning home. His stomach has had enough for now. So now we must simply wait and keep the wound moist and clean.

Day 27, Saturday December 26, 2009.

After cleaning the wound, tissue necrosis had spread just a little more. It appears the injections have helped a lot, loosening and stimulating the area more.

Injected approximately 30 sites again, with 2% solution. The tumor has become more porous and pliable in the areas injected yesterday. Covered with Vaseline. No internal salve this day.

Mr. M. said he slept well the previous night, first night in at least two weeks. It seems the injections have helped to alleviate pressure on the wound.

He says he's perspiring a lot, and urinating much more than usual. His skin has attained a more youthful and supple tone.

Day 28, Sunday December 27, 2009.

Cleaned with alcohol, the area surrounding, so that tape would stick with the bandage. Injected 40 shots of 2% solution. The effect has been dramatic, has increased the pace of necrosis of the tumor. Finally! We can now see separation surrounding the entire tumor.

He feels not pain during any of the injections, indicative of abnormal tissue. These things always appear, bad or overwhelming. This is not for the feint-of-heart. But it will get better, and if the would is kept moist, after the body has expelled the tumor, it will heal and look okay.

Injection also gives accurate feedback as to what parts of the tumor are still alive or dead. If soft it is dead. Otherwise this tumor is nearly rock hard. Also the moisture it injects really helps to speed-up the process.

I've come to realize that Mr. M. has been severely dehydrated, and hence the reason for the slow process. He's now drinking at least 2 liters per day. I can see the difference in his skin, eyes, and the tumor.

Day 29, Monday, December 28, 2009.

Tumor beginning to release. The surface skin necrosis has stopped advancing now. But he still has a lot of discharge from his eyes, as well as morning swelling around the eyes and crown of the head.

Injected 40 points. Tumor becoming more pliable, not the hard concrete of before.

Day 30, Tuesday, December 29, 2009.

A moderate amount of seepage has begun, encircling entirly the tumor, at a diameter of about 5 cm. Mr. M. is in good spirits and is regaining stamina.

Body temp at 99.6F. BP normal.

I injected 20 points, very lightly. I am greatly impressed with this 2% Black Salve solution. Keeps the tumor moist, while getting the medicine where it needs to go. This way I can still administer medicine and keep it moist with Vaseline the whole time.

He's also drinking upwards of 2 liters of water per day now. This has helped a lot. He would have sloughed the tumor at least two weeks ago had he been able to drink water. Balinese custom to drink very little water.

No evidence of the sub-tumor below the eye flaring up again. It appears to have shrunk away, absorbed back into the body. Same for the area in the bridge of the nose, swelling and redness almost gone.

He spoke of heavy perspiration, something he's not accustomed to. I 've several times had to tell him that's normal, how his body pushes out poisons.

I'm certain the scar would have been much smaller if Mr. M. had been willing to drink water.

Day 31, Wednesday, December 30, 2009.

Cleaned wound, added Vaseline. Covered with loosely with gauze and tape. Elected to take a day off from medication.

Temperature slightly elevated at 99.8F. Has been for two days now. BP normal.

Day 32. Thursday, December 31, 2009.

Slight fever, temp at 100.2F. BP normal.

Cleaned wound, injected 20 sites with 2% solution. Still very hard at the top, but soft and better separation at the bottom, above the nose bridge.

Gave one capsule with minimal amount of regular Salve, less than one scoop.

Separation is slow but coming along. Very little mucous, some blood over the entire perimeter. I'm concerned that the center of the tumor may not be separating yet.

He spoke of a waking type of dream. Going through a locked door, meeting someone, essentially deciding to live.

Day 33, Friday, January 1, 2010.

Cleaned and dressed wound. Tumor swelling some, but not yet separating.

Temp. 99.8, BP mid normal range for Mr. M, which is low.

Day 34, Saturday, January 2, 2010.

Cleaned and replaced bandage. Coated with Vaseline. No oral medicine given.

Mr. M. told of 'ants feeling' over entire head. Much pain surrounding the tumor, which has lifted considerably. I hope it will separate within two more days, but could be three.

Temp down at 99.1F, and BP down but lower normal range.

Day 35, Sunday, January 3, 2010.

Tried to get him to take a capsule of Salve, but he said he would vomit it up.

Injected several points with 2%. More separation is evident, but still too slow. The tumor appears to have consolidated, with little or now root activity beyond the 5cm diameter tumor area.

At least there is no more swelling around the eyes, or top of the head. I'm convinced the tumor extremities are dead. There may still be a little life in the tumor over the bridge of the nose.

Temperature at 100.3, BP low at 118/65, heart rate 90. Body working hard.

Day 36, Monday, January 4, 2010.

Temperature up a little at 100.2. BP low at 115/ 63. Heart at 85.

Day 37, Tuesday, January 5, 2010.

Temperature down a little, at 99.4, BP up a little at 119/65. Heart rate lower at 78.

Day 38, Wednesday, January 6, 2010.

Made a new batch of Injectable, now 4% solution, was using 2% until now. Implanted under the center of the tumor, which has yet to begin lifting from the bone.

But the perimeter has separated very well, and is oozing much mucous and some blood, much needed as lubrication to expel the tumor.

This tumor is taking much longer than most because Mr. M. has not learned to keep the Salve in his stomach. He always vomits it back up. This, I have now learned, is because he refuses to take food with Salve, must be a personal superstition, like his not wanting to drink water. At least now he's drinking a lot of water. He finally seems convinced, and agreed to take a one-scoop capsule with water, promising to eat rice upon return home.

And it's for this reason that we are now developing a more edible version of Black Salve, that using Zinc Citrate, instead of Zinc Chloride. We still have the option of using either though.

He asked if he could begin working again. We decided a couple of hours in the morning would be okay, if he promised to drink water every fews minutes and induce a good sweat. He wants to plant a garden. He's feeling much better

He took an oil solution, of cajuput, cinnamon, fennel, and other local herbs last night, without my knowledge. He said he moved a lot of white mucous this morning. I assume his liver is draining a little, or that he had a lot of mucous in his digestive system.

Temp down, 99.1, BP up 128/70. Heart rate down at 71, normally around 85-90. His body is relaxing now, not fighting the virus as much.

Day 39, Thursday, January 7, 2010.

Mr. M. said the tumor had risen a little, was 'bigger up' in his translated words.

Decided to give hot compress therapy, using cloth steam packs from Thailand. Filled with aromatic herbs and rice skins. Steamed and massaged the tumor area, and eyes, for an hour. Though his skin was very sensitive, he very much enjoyed the heat, and the aroma. It helped to loosen the tumor, which still appears stuck to the bone in the center of the 5cm diameter tumor, but much looser now.

The 4% solution worked very well overnight. The tumor become significantly more pliable, and changed to a darker color. I injected the entire area again, about 30 injections. 1.5 cc 4% solution.

He kept last night's Salve capsule down, due to having eaten immediately after ingestion of the cap. I gave him another gel cap with one scoop of Salve this evening. The Balinese are stubborn, well probably no more stubborn than anyone else. It's taken a while to get him to drink enough water and to eat and to appreciate the value of the therapy.

BP up 177/68 and temp down 98.0, heart rate down at 77, due to the heat therapy.

Mr. M. worked today for about two hours. Says he perspired a lot, drank a lot of water, and the garden is looking better. His over health and stamina are excellent for a man of 64 years.

Day 40, Friday, January 8, 2010.

He's intuitively started massaging the tumor and surrounding tissues. He's taking vitamins that include zinc and C.

His BP is fully normal now, his temp hovering around 98.8. I consider Mr. M to be nearly fully healed from the tumor, appears his body is nearly finished fighting the virus.

Injected 4% solution into the tumor, all areas. 2cc total.

Temps down, tumor working out.

Day 41, Saturday, January 9, 2010.

Mr. M took a native "Jamu" stomach purging solution, I asked him to discontinue for now, as it negates the effects of oral medication. The main problem we've had with this therapy is Mr. M's not keeping the medicine down, not following instruction. Now he will eat after taking the medication, but then wants to to take a purgative that pushes it out. Go figure. I made it clear the process would go much faster if he'd follow instructions. At least he's drinking enough water now.

He's started working again (tending fields and his cows), and making himself perspire. He did not like to perspire before, preventing it through dehydration, all his life. He's also massaging the tumor, which helps in its release. All in all, he's finally becoming a better patient.

Day 42, Sunday, January 10, 2010.

Temp up, 99.5, Bp normal low.

Tumor still not un-attaching in the center of the tumor. But good around the edges. No shots this evening, he needs a rest. But gave to scoops internal.

Day 43, Monday, January 11, 2010.

Finally, the tumor is coming loose, at the top of the forehead. And new skin is appearing below. Because the tumor has been so slow in coming off, new skin has been able to regenerate.

Still very painful around the temple area, right above each eye. I suspect the sinus are affected. But he's never had blood from the nose. His tear ducts are still working, no problems there it would seem. In any case, it may be a little longer for the tumor to loosen above the nose.

My hope is that scaring will be minimal, if Mr. M. is able to keep it moist and continue to drink a lot of water. The presence of new and smooth skin below is a positive indication.

He worked for a couple of hours today, walked around the neighborhood seeing his friends. Was proud he'd worked up a sweat.

Injected 2ml 4% solution into all areas of the tumor, working to get the solution in below the tumor a little. The tumor has become a lot more butter-like, used to be like soft stone.

Gave one capsule with 2 scoops of Salve. Temp 98.7. BP the highest I've seen, at 131 over 75. Makes an average of 103, ten points over the average of 93. Heart rate at 81. He drank coffee with ginseng today. He feels good, is full of energy.

No heat therapy this evening, need to take off one day out of several from time to time. Same goes with the medicine, so the body has a moment to catch its breath, regenerate, eleminate. Mr. M. really liked the heat therapy, says it helped a lot.

Day 44, Tuesday, January 12, 2010.

I'm very please with progress today. Half the tumor has loosened from its socket. There is visible healthy skin growing below. In this case, waiting longer for the tumor to come off may have resulted in better skin, not as scared. Time will tell.

All signs are normal, heart rate, BP, temperature. Mr. M. worked today, was in high spirits, had good energy.

I injected the part of the tumor that had not yet released with 4% solution. Alsog gave one gel cap with 2 scoops of Salve.

Day 45, Wednesday, January 13, 2010.

The top of the forehead. About 60% of the tumor is beginning to lift. 1.5 cm thick when not compressed by fingers. New skin is appearing, healthy and clean. Bone can be seen directly below the new skin. A thicker upper layer is beginning to appear at the right edge. This must be kept very moist to minimize scaring and speed healing. We do not force the tumor, allowing the body to push it out when ready. We don't want to damage the new and sensitive skin below.

Temp and BP normal. Heart rate normal. No injection nor oral medicine. Time to let the body detoxify and heal. Vaseline and bandage only.

Day 46. Thursday, January 14, 2010.

Not much to report here. BP, temp, heart rate all normal. Patient working again, happy and full of life. Tumor about 70% removed. Injected 4% solution into the un-removed portion. Evidence of roots entering lower into the flesh at the nose bridge. The inject-able helps this process a lot.

Gave 2 scoops in a gel cap, treated with a large amount of Vaseline. Bandaged.

Requested to see every two days instead for now, until tumor drops off.

Day 47. Friday, January 15

More of the same. Tumor about 80% removed. I massaged it some, lifted it some to help it along. Although this protocol is out-of-the-ordinary, I felt it necessary so the medicine could be more effective.

Injected 4% solution. Covered with Vaseline and bandaged thick with gauze.

Gave 2 scoops Salve in a gel cap.

Several days are skipped here, more of the same as written above. Black Salve was administered orally each day. Injectable Salve as well. Vitals were checked too, all displaying nornally.

Day 54. Friday, January 22, 2010

We had hoped the tumor would fall off today. Indeed, the entire perimeter has come off the healthy layers below. The problem now is that there remains a 1cm wide root, 1 cm above the bridge of the nose. It may still be alive fairly deeply to the areas between the eyes and around the sinus areas.

Indeed Mr. M, had said it was ready fall because all pain had ceased. Generally, when pain ceases, the tumor is dead and detached. But where the root is descending into tissue, there may be no feeling by nature.

BP, temp heart rate normal.

Injected 5% solution directly into the root, from side and from above. I was able to fold the tumor back, in order to see the root. Otherwise the surrounding tissue was healthy. I want to begin using the healing salves, but don't want the skin and tumor to heal around it.

Gave two scoops Salve in a gel cap.

Decided it best to continue with daily visits, so daily medicine can be administered.

Day 56. Sunday, January 24, 2010

Mr. M. proudly displays the newly-removed Tumor, placed in a sandwich bag with hydrogen peroxide. Mr. M will later burn the tumor in a Hindu ceremony, with his family in attendance.

Finally, the tumor has come off. There remains a small , gray root that required further treatment with Salve. Much evidence of muscle and skin tissue regenerating. Had there been surgery instead, there would be little skin re-growth. The tumor had adhered to the cranium bone. Now can be seen the rebuilding of skin and other tissues.

We added placed a single scoop of Salve atop the root area, and covered the remaining area with Neosporin Triple Antibiotic Gel and Vaseline.

For lack of a better bandage, we sealed the area with clear plastic from a sandwich bag, held in place with surgical tape. His entire head was then wrapped with a long gauze bandage afterward. Best not to shock other people, and also shield from sunshine for now.

We are now confident that the tumor's roots have redacted and are dead. There may or may not still be life in the small remaining root as seen above. A little more Salve provides insurance. All pain has gone, also an indication of thoroughness.

Now that the tumor has been removed, we can finally begin the process of healing. Quality bandages hard to find here, so we must make do. In fact clear sandwich-bag plastic works well.

The healing tissue must never be allowed to dry, or scaring and complete healing of tissue could be impeded.

BP very low, temp high at 99.9. His body is still working on the virus, and making new skin. We are taking a break from internal Slave for one day.

Day 58, Tuesday, January 26, 2010

The second session involving tissue regeneration and skin healing. Most of the previous Vaseline had melted, dripping down Mr. M's forehead. He had worked hard cutting wood and other outdoor chores. Seems he abounds with energy.

As it's very important not to disturb the new, exceptionally fragile tissues, We agreed to only change dressing every three days or so. Mr. M would only visit if problems arose. He seems unconvinced of the need to rest and keep tempuratures down. But getting the blood pumping is beneficial as well. As long as the tissues are not allowed to dry, the healing will continue. Otherwise major scaring will occur.

Inspection showed no signs of the remaining root. The single shot of Salve seems to have terminated the last of this very difficult tumor. And evidence of relatively rapid re-growth of tissues displayed.

We administered a combination of Neosporin Triple Antibiotic gel, under a combination of Zim's Wound Care Advanced Collagen Cream in Vaseline. Again the entire area was covered with clear plastic and then bandaged with gauze wrapped around the entire head. We added small cotton pads under the bottom of the bandage, atop the eyebrow area, in order to block the healing salves drainage. There appears to be minimal bodily fluids draining.

Day 62, Friday, January 29, 2010

The third session involving tissue regeneration and skin healing.

The good news is nerve regeneration is happening under the entire area. Mr. M was able feel, where there had been no feeling before. The cold of the refrigerated Vaseline and collagen gels, plus the sensation of their application surprised us all.

And again, relatively good tissue regeneration was occurring, notably above the cranium bone area. When the area below the tumor first became exposed, there appeared to be only bone below, but with the new sensations of cold and touch, that assumption be not be true. Now layers of skin and tissue are building up.

I can't help but feel that if we had used the injectable Salve early on, or that Mr. M. had been able to drink more water at first, during that first first week, we might have been able to save more skin. At least none was lost under the eye, over the nose, or the top of his head. I think this due to injectable Salve helping to draw-up the roots of the tumor, what we assume to be the reason the tumor swelled to more than twice the original size.

Day 64, Sunday, January 31, 2010

Unexpected arrival, but not problems. All signs of the reaming roots of the tumor have died, as evinced by the puss draining from the root entries. Muscle and skin are rebuilding nicely. Old skin, that separated the tumor from the body, is separating, exposing new skin below. The wound is beginning to close, is a mm or two smaller in diameter now.

Dressed with Neosporin, collagen, and Vaseline.

Vitals all normal.

Day 67, Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Progress is being made with tissue rebuilding. Blood vessels are appearing, tissue structures and skin layers are beginning to create pockets of activity as well.

Eyes are to the left. There remains some Vaseline along the outer edge of the circle. The red tissue is caused by blood vessels rebuilding, followed by lower skin tissue. The outer skin is slowly joining with the new skin, and also closing the circle, by about 5 mm more closed than 6 days ago.

An old skin layer, that used to thinly separate the newly, removed tumor from the cranium has flaked off today. The tissues below are thicker and beginning to join with the outer circle of previously-undisturbed skin and tissue.

The combination of Vaseline, Collogen, and Neosporin is working very well. No infections are visible, although small amounts of white puss exude on occasion. The main problem is that when Mr. M. is working, or overheated in the hot tropical weather we have here mid summer, the gels tend to liquefy and run down onto his face. Mr. M. is full of energy and finds it difficult to rest. Even at 64, his stamina puts those younger to shame.

Vitals normal.

Repacked with Vaseline, collagen (10%), and Neosporin (3%). Still covering with single plastic sandwich bag to seal it completely. Cannot risk dehydration, as tissue regeneration might stop and the cause worse scaring.

Mr. M. is very good about not scratching or disturbing the tissue, understanding this may improve the quality of the newly-forming skin structure, less scaring. Of course, healing takes longer in an older person.

Day 74, Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Mr. M. comes by every other day now. Not much to report most of the time, other than his tissues are slowly recovering. The underlying cranial smooth tissue is swelling some, due to blood flow.

By all accounts - blood pressure, temperature, skin tone, attitude - Mr. M. is very healthy now, vibrant, full of energy.

The tissues comprising his new skin are coming along, but slowly. Time will tell the extent of his scar.

Swelling has reduced in the outlying, original tissues. I expect it will be another month before we see actual top skin forming. For now just the underlying tissues. Still applying a mixture of Vaseline, Neosporin, and collagen.

Day 74. Much tissue has begun to regenerate. Swelling in the surrounding tissues has subsided considerably. The diameter of the wound has decreased by a few millimeters - not much, yet. The wound won't being to close until the underlying tissues have become viable enough to support outer skin layers.

Day 82, Friday, February 18, 2010

Still only seeing Mr. M. every two days, at 7:30 in the evening. He's generally accompanied by his son, son's wife, or Mr. M's wife.

The tissues are re-growing, but at a slower rate, as would be expected for a man of 64 years. Nearly all of the area is covered with new tissues, that exhibit a "popcorn" appearance. Parts are beginning to swell higher than the surface of the surrounding original skin. This swelling is normal, similar to any other wound, that swells while healing.

The original 5cm diameter opening is now becoming more oblique and smaller in diameter.

Only slight evidence of outer epidermis cells, appearing more yellow and smoother than the red tissues now building.  We can only hope that he will produce a smooth scaring surface over his forehead area.

Day 82. Underlying tissues are re-growing well, but slowly. The tissues are more solid now, not gelatinous, as in the previous photo. One or two outer epidermis nodules can be seen rising, a yellowing color. Some rejoining with original skin can be seen at the top and bottom of the photo. The white mater around the perimeter is mostly Vaseline.

The wound area was cleaned with 3% H2O2 dripped by cotton. The outer old-skin areas were cleaned with alcohol, to remove tape residue. We still use a clear plastic sheet, cut from a thick sandwich bag, held in place with surgical tape. Cotton is placed at the bottom to aid in fluid weeping. His entire head is then wrapped with a length of gauze. The wound is covered in Vaseline and Neosporin Triple Antibiotic Gel. We discontinued collagen for the time being. It's more important to keep the wound clean and moist now. Any dehydration of the growth would most likely result in severe scaring.

At this point, we have stopped counting the days, simply because the skin rebuilding phase is more a matter of months. The patient is seen everything days, for change in medicine and bandage.

Please see the progression of healing below.

March 11, 2010. Tissues have risen and are beginning, at long last, to form outer skin layers. The lower tissues have now become harder, not gelatinous as before. The center is pushing-out the remnants of the tumor, that later produced a bone-like chip. Some blood appears due to bandage removal, but is from the gelatinous center, not the healthy surrounding tissues. His age of 64 requires more time for healing.

From here, we only document the progress of skin regeneration in the following photos.

March 27, 2010. Tissues are coming to form similar to the surrounding area. Notice the skin folds over the brow. He is still eliminating some pus, perhaps left-over toxins from the process. His only medicine at this point is "Bioplacenton," a placenta extract with Neomycin sulphate (antibiotic). The wound is cleaned every three days with hydrogen peroxide 3%, then sealed with a large latex bandage.

April 17, 2010. Pus eliminations have subsided, as tissue form a sold base. Blood vessels appear stronger and deeper. Some original scar tissue is beginning to slough away.

May 17, 2010. Only a small patch of scab remains. An outer layer of skin is beginning to form around the edges, progressing inward. Unfortunately, this skin appears more as scar tissue, and there will be no obvious pores or hair. But it still looks a lot better than a 2cm deep hole. After this photo, Mr. M. stopped using bandages, covering instead with a knitted cap to keep it clean.
