Can BEC or an Eggplant Extract be a new skin cancer therapy?
As the incidence of skin cancer continues to climb, more people are being diagnosed with skin cancer each year than all other cancers combined. Wow! According to the stats, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. And the annual cost of treating skin cancers is close to $8.1 billion dollars! [Skincancer.org]. So is there a natural skin cancer therapy option that will eliminate this potentially deadly cancer?
According to some research findings, BEC or eggplant extract may be able to eliminate most non-melanoma skin cancers in several weeks’ time.
Here’s the Research:
A cream formulation containing high concentrations (10%) of a standard mixture of solasodine glycosides (BEC) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of malignant and benign human skin tumours. We now report that a preparation (Curaderm) which contains very low concentrations of BEC (0.005%) is effective in the treatment of keratoses, basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the skin of humans. In an open study, clinical and histological observations indicated that all lesions (56 keratoses, 39 BCCs and 29 SCCs) treated with Curaderm had regressed. A placebo formulation had no effect on a smaller number of treated lesions. Curaderm had no adverse effect on the liver, kidneys or haematopoietic system.
A researcher at the forefront of healing skin cancer naturally is Dr. Bill E. Cham, who documents the following:
“A cream formulation containing high concentrations (10%) of a standard mixture of solasodine glycosides (BEC) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of malignant and benign human skin tumors.
We now report that a preparation… which contains very low concentrations of BEC (0.005%) is effective in the treatment of keratoses, basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) of the skin of humans.
In an open study, clinical and histological observations indicated that all lesions (56 keratoses, 39 BCCs and 29 SCCs) treated with [the preparation] had regressed.”
A followup study by totally different researchers was done. Here’s what they had to say…”a 0.005% mixture of solasodine glycosides (BEC5) is a therapy that is “safe for basal cell carcinoma, with a cure rate of 66% at 8 weeks and 78% at 1 year follow-up.”
If you want to purchase this BEC cream, check out Curaderm. Here are some of the top reason to consider this natural therapy:
- It’s a non-invasive, non toxic skin cancer cream
- Medical research is behind it
- Natural and safe
- Physical and cosmetic results are very positive
- Affordable and easy to apply
- Targets only cancer cells
Not convinced yet? Here are some other therapeutic options you may want to try:
- Vitamin D– Research is telling us that if your vitamin D levels are low, your chances of acquiring skin cancer goes up. Living in the northern climates, where sun exposure is limited, it would be wise then to supplement with vitamin D on a daily basis. Read more on my post entitled: Vitamin D Deficiency and 38 Health Conditions.
- Iodine Tincture– DC Jarvis MD, in his book Folk Medicine writes about iodine and its curative effects on skin cancer. Maybe you’re just deficient in iodine? To learn more about iodine deficiency read my post here.
Need Iodine Testing?
Here are your options according to The Truth About Cancer website:
- A random urine test ordered by a physician is a good place to start.
- The iodine patch test refers to painting a two-inch square of tincture of iodine or Lugol’s Iodine on the body and watching to see how long the orange square takes to fade. However, this test is not considered to be overly reliable or conclusive, but can help to give a general idea as to whether someone may be deficient in iodine.
- The gold standard is the 24 Hour Iodine Loading Test, which can be done with a doctor or via online testing at Hakala Labs and others.
There are natural skin cancer therapy options out there. Do your own research, read the reviews and I’ll bet you’ll be encouraged too. Good luck!
