When I heard of a woman who had pancreatic cancer and who had been sent home to die, but had managed to save herself with these salves (self-administered under the guidance of a Naturopath), I was incredulous. I was told she actually had the growths in jars and was always happy to share her story with others who might benefit.

I made a point of meeting the woman and found her the picture of health, running a vibrant business, working harder than any of the men under her employ. She showed me the jars containing some evil-looking growths. She showed me an unusual scar where the cancer had exited her side. She told me how much it had hurt and how hard it was to kick the morphine they had her on in the hospital. And she told me of other "terminals" who had survived.

I got to know this woman well and I trust her implicitly. When I got the book "Cancer Salves" and showed it to her, she was ecstatic. Somebody had finally gotten it in print! How brave!

The value of the internet is that you have access to information that would otherwise be banned. With the bad (pornography, etc.) comes the good - voices long silenced by the heavy hand of institutional authority - facts about effective cancer cures that have saved many lives. Search the web for the life history of Royal Raymond Rife. Get the video "Hoxsey - The Quack(?) Who Cured Cancer" (Also renamed "Hoxsey - How Healing Becomes A Crime").

Make up your own mind, however incredible it all may sound at first. And get this book while you still can! Many less-threatening items have been banned by the AMA/FDA. If one out of every four people in America will get cancer, this may save you or someone you love. Knowledge is power.

Cancer Salves is a fabulous reference resource and a truly fascinating read. Dr. Naiman has accomplished quite a feat in this book. When I got my copy, I literally could not put it down and as I read more and more of it I became more and more in awe of the amount of research that obviously went into this less than one inch thick volume.

Throughout the book, Dr. Naiman has referenced her sources and outlined all the cautions that one must be cognizant of when embarking on any healing journey. Think of this book like the old Portuguese Pilot Books that were so highly valued as the only reliable navigational aids prior to the sextant. Like them, this book will aid you in navigating through the physical and spiritual journey that is healing. It tells tales of both success and failure, it gives further resources, points out pitfalls in science as well as philosophy--a truly epic ode to healing and the reform of our philosophy of health.

Although Cancer Salves is obviously and specifically focused on cancer, I found that the information provided on individual herbs is very useful generally and not just for cancer. The appendices, especially the suggested reading list, and the bibliography alone are worth the price of the book. Dr. Naiman's musings on the philosophy of health and healing will be echoing within me for some time to come.

Finally, I would like to add my own cautionary note: Do not attempt to put any of the programs outlined in Cancer Salves--or any other alternative medical resource--into practice unless you are prepared to take full and complete personal responsibility for your own health and healing. This book is a map, an atlas, a Pilot Book, not a guarantee. It gives you resources to make your own educated alternative medical decisions. What comes of your decisions is your own responsibility, just as it should be. I for one am very grateful to Dr. Naiman for this invaluable resource.

Shortly after I received the book, I had the opportunity to meet Dr. Naiman. I was just as impressed by her knowledge, presence, and integrity as I was by her book.

Dr. Naiman writes an amazing and giving book detailing the use, the formulas, and protocols for working with herbs to remove tumors. The reasearch on the book is scholarly and exhaustive; the prose style light and angelic. I read it in manuscript form and was so amazed by the book's generosity - the author even provides recipes for creating the salves - and its clairity that I bought a copy for my Naturopathic Doctor. He is equally impressed.

As a cancer patient I heard hints and whispers about the amazing salves, like blood root and the black and yellow salves, but could find no one truly versed in the art of making or using the salves. All of the practitioners I consulted knew of the existance of the salves but knew nothing of how to obtain them or the proper way to apply them. With this book, Dr. Naiman gives anyone who believes in alternative cancer treatments a virtual howitzer to use in the battle against this killer disease.

I paid nearly double the low Amazon.com price for each of the books I bought and believe that I got an incredible bargain. If you have cancer, if you love anyone who has this dread disease, or if you treat cancer patients, you need this book. The herbs are a gift from the earth. The use of them is our legacy from generations of countless healers from decades and centuries past. Certainly we owe Dr. Naiman a debt of gratitude for putting it all in our hands via her very readable and accessible book.

This book can be purchased from the author at her web site brand new for 42.50. I do not understand why Amazon and the other sellers are selling used ones for 74+ dollars. I come here often for books and this is the first time I feel taken advantage of. I will buy the book because it is highly recommended for anyone who wants to formulate cancer salves, but I will buy it directly from Ingrid this time.

This book was a terrific find for our family and a validation of what we have known for years. My grandmother was diagnosed with a huge tumor near her liver in 1957. I remember entering her bedroom and seeing what looked like white cocktail onions embedded in the surface of her abdomen prior to their complete emergence. (She had a jar full of them preserved in alcohol on the dresser.) She used what is basically the the red & yellow salves mentioned in the book. (She lived cancer free for 30 years and died in her 80's) My father "pulled" a lump the size and thickness of an oreo cookie from his chest after the Dr had told him that his "sore spot" was cancerous. The interested Dr had the lump biopsied and the report said it was necrotic tissue of some sort and appeared to be "burned at the edges" ... or something like that. Personally... I was diagnosed with breast cancer (early stages) and I tried it using the same techniques that my mother used to "pull" a lump shaped like a fried egg from her breast... Same batch of salve. It did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me. That is the dilemna of these salves. The author herself mentions having had this experience. READ THE BOOK and LISTEN TO YOUR DOCTOR. I see no reason why a person can't try the salves and then proceed to the doctor if there is no results. There is a lot to gain and not much to lose.

This book is fascinating! It belongs on every Herbalist's bookshelf. It details the herbal history of certain herbs used over the centuries for treating cancer & salves used for enucleation & escharotic treatments. Ingrid is a brilliant Herbalist & her book carefully details the necessary details needed to proceed with this type of treatment. I highly recommend this book!

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in alternative treatments for cancer. It is enlightening and informative and very well written.
