A common treatment for a common cancer

If you have the most common form of cancer, you probably also have a safe and inexpensive treatment for it in your home right now.

Basal cell cancer appears on the skin as a small lump or sore that doesn’t heal properly. This type of cancer is annoying and unsightly, but rarely dangerous.

The Orthomolecular Medicine News Service has posted an article that explains how to use vitamin C to treat small spots of basal cell carcinoma by mixing a paste of powdered vitamin C with a small amount of water and then applying it directly to the spots. After three applications per day for two weeks, many of the spots become dry and drop off.

So is this a revolutionary new breakthrough?

Not quite. This information comes from research that was published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition…more than 35 years ago!

To Your Good Health,

Jenny Thompson
