Home remedies
- eggplant : 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.
- Studies have shown that ginger can help to protect you against ovarian, breast, colon and skin cancers.
- Modified Citrus Pectin : Several animal studies found that MCP helped reduce the spread of prostate, breast, and skin cancer.
- non-melanoma skin cancers and pre-cancerous lesions treated with diluted tea tree oil inhibits tumor growth and causes tumor regression.
- Grape seed extract shows remarkable protective effects against three major cancers: squamous cell carcinoma and prostate and hematologic malignancies.
- Mint exhibits the capacity to protect the animals’ lungs, skin and colon against the formation of cancer.
- the colorful plant pigments known as carotenoids are especially protective by their antioxidants properties. The leading sources of carotenoids are eggs, spirulina, chlorella, tomatoes, dark green leafy vegetables (kale, collards, and spinach), and yellow-orange fruits and vegetables (apricots, cantaloupe, carrots, sweet potatoes, yams, and squash).
- the carotenoid astaxanthin has also piqued the interest of researchers due to its ability to reduce signs of aging by helping protect your skin from sun damage.
- Take care with polyunsaturated (Omega-6) fats : The makeup of fat in the human body is normally about 97% monounsaturated and saturated. Only about 3% should be polyunsaturated (the primary fat found in vegetable and seed oils).The problem with polyunsaturated fats displacing saturated fats in cell structures is that these fats are highly unstable. They are extremely vulnerable to oxidative stress, especially in the skin, where they are exposed to oxygen and UV light.

Warnings
If you do suspect you have a cancerous lesion and want to treat it with BEC5, health practitioners strongly recommend that you consult with a doctor before treating yourself. Your doctor can perform a biopsy to determine whether a skin lesion is cancerous, and, if so, to confirm the type of cancer you have. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Experts do not recommend BEC5 treatment for melanoma because this type of cancer spreads so fast and once it spreads, it is often fatal. Therefore, surgery is recommended instead. Certain other skin cancers may also require surgery. For this reason, health practitioners recommend seeing a doctor first for a biopsy to confirm cancer type before beginning any home treatment.
