Curaderm B-5 Eggplant: An Alternative Cure for Skin Cancer

According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer infects more than one million people yearly. Though skin cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer, people die because of lack of knowledge or late treatment.

Skin cancer can be treated through chemotherapy, radiation technology or surgery. However, these treatments - though highly successful - tend to pose negative effects, such as weakening of the body's immune system which often leads to other sicknesses. Due to these side effects, scientists have sought for less invasive cures for skin cancer and thus, the Curaderm B-5 eggplant was developed.

Curaderm B-5 is a cream discovered by biochemist Dr. Bill Cham. According to Dr. Cham, using the cream is as good as undergoing surgery without the untoward after effects.

The main ingredient of B-5 is solsaodine glycoside, a substance which can be extracted from eggplants. The cream has successfully cured 95% of patients inflicted with both squamous and basal skin cancers. However, for melanoma skin cancer - the most fatal type of skin cancer - the effect of Curaderm B-5 is still under study. Melanoma cancer cells spread quickly into the bloodstream and other parts of the body while non-melanoma cancer mutates slowly and often times only stays within the skin cells. Up to date, it is still a question if the glycosides in B-5 can reach beyond the skin cells. The very few cases of melanoma also hinder the progress of researches because of lack of subjects. B-5 can also be used to treat Sarcoma; nonetheless this curative property has only been observed in laboratory mice and is yet to be tested in humans.

Unlike the conventional treatment methods, Curaderm B-5 will only eliminate the cancer cells without damaging the nearby healthy cells. Once the solsaodine glycosides enter the skin, they search for the damaged cells and the core of the cancer. They then trigger apoptosis or self-destruction of the cancer cells. After the apoptosis, new cells are formed and the infected tissues are replaced with new, normal ones.

Curaderm B-5 has been studied for more than 25 years and has been tested to skin cancer patients in the United Kingdom and Australia. Results revealed the cream doesn't cause any harmful effects to the human body. The patients also didn't develop immunity to B-5 even with continuous application.

It is important to note that to achieve positive results from the B-5 treatment; one must follow the prescribed dosage religiously. Failure of doing so will simply render the treatment useless. It is recommended to apply the cream three times a day until the ailment subsides. A regular 20mL bottle of B-5 can already be used to cure two large non-melanoma tumors. Treatment is longer depending on the stage of the cancer. A patient may also notice lesions on his skin after application but this isn't a negative sign. Actually, the lesions signify inflammation of the tissues and inflammation only occurs when a number of cells have died. This means the apoptosis of the cancer cells have started. The lesions will eventually cease and will not cause the patient severe pain or scars.

Curaderm B-5 is indeed a good alternative treatment for skin cancer. Perhaps one of these days, the components of the cream can also be used to cure other types of cancer.

Skin Cancer and Alternative to Mohs Surgery

It is estimated that over 1 million new cases occur annually. It has also been estimated that nearly half of all Americans who live to age 65 will develop skin cancer at least once. The two most common forms of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. They account for approximately 96% of all diagnosed skin cancers. Together, these two are also referred to as nonmelanoma skin cancer.

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and accounts for more than 90% of all skin cancer in the U.S. These cancers almost never spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. They can, however, cause damage by growing and invading surrounding tissue. Squamous cell carcinoma is cancer that begins in the squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales under the microscope. Squamous cells are found in the tissue that forms the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body, and the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts. Thus, squamous cell carcinomas can actually arise in any of these tissues. Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin occurs roughly one-quarter as often as basal cell carcinoma.

A surgical method that is often used to treat nonmelanoma skin cancer is called Mohs surgery. This highly specialized surgical technique involves first removing the visible tumor and then successive layers of skin one at a time until microscopic examination no longer reveals cancer cells. This surgery is performed while the patient is under local anesthesia. Removing and examining each layer takes about one hour, with much of this time spent looking at the removed skin. When done, the surgical wound is treated as needed. The treatment can include closing the wound with stitches, covering the surgical site with skin from another area of the body (skin graft), and moving healthy skin from a nearby area to cover the surgical wound (skin flap).

But, Mohs surgery is not the only way to successfully treat skin cancers? Surgery on the nose, ears, eyelids or lips may cause disfigurement or require reconstructive surgery under a general anesthetic to maintain the natural appearance. Brachytherapy with the Flexitron system is an effective alternative treatment for BCC (Basel Cell Carcinoma) and SCC (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) skin cancer and avoids the need for reconstructive surgery. It also has its advantages over surgery for patients with a large number of lesions, elderly patients, or patients who are otherwise inoperable, and advantages over external beam radiotherapy as it requires shorter treatment times and less side effects.
