Six years ago I thought I had malignant melanoma that was metastasizing to my lungs and liver. It turned out to be Hepatitis C, complicated by opportunistic parasitic infections. I was near death. I now feel better than I felt when I was in high school. There have been many things that helped me save my live, not the least of which is the herb Bloodroot. That is why I started this forum. But I do not recommend a silver bullet approach and I will be sharing information here, about more than just bloodroot.

Thank you to the Webmaster for dropping "and Black Salve" from the name of this forum. Unfortunately, I used black salve first, prior to taking bloodroot internally, and I have the scars to prove iit. I found that it wasn't enough. Within a few months of removing several troublesome skin cancers my symptoms were back and death was rapidly approaching again. Systemic cleansing was necessary for me to get well and stay well. Had I known this, I would have begun with taking bloodroot internally, and I wouldn't have all these scars today.

Bloodroot could be viewed as the herbal equivalent of chemotherapy. It is not a gentle healer. It should be considered only as a last resort, if nothing else works. For those who need bloodroot, it is a life saver. Bloodroot has anti-viral and anti-parasitical properties. They say it will hunt down cancer anywhere in the body and eliminate it without damaging healthy tissue.

If you think you may need bloodroot, it will probably be necessary to use it in conjunction with other herbs in order to maintain the progress you've gained while giving your body a rest, as it is important to take breaks periodically from cleansing with it.

My prayer is that everyone will be fortunate enough to find something else that works for them, so they won't have to resort to using bloodroot as it is not a pleasant journey. But it can save your life. It will also restore the quality of your life during the time when you are taking a break to give your body a rest. In fact, you may discover that you feel better than you have ever felt, as I have.

I hope everyone who is relatively healthy can find another alternative that will work for them, and I am here to assist you in that endeavor.

I am a naturopath with extensive experience in helping people identify effective natural alternative medicines. The most important thing you will have to do is learn how to listen to your body and I can assist you with this. I also believe it is important to address the cause of disease in order to get well and stay well. Toxemia and malnutrition must be corrected if you want to restore a state of vibrance and vitality.

Two of the most important overlooked factors adversely affecting health are mineral deficiencies and toxic metal contamination. A speedy recovery is hastened once mineral deficiencies have been corrected and toxic metals have been eliminated. I can help you obtain a reliable trace mineral analysis for an affordable price if you are in need of one.

Thank you for visiting the Bloodroot Forum. Welcome.
