• Garlic is a faithful standby. Cut a thin slice of garlic and carefully tape it over what you consider might be a skin cancer. Try to avoid contact of the garlic on good skin. (If you can’t avoid it the skin will redden and burn somewhat.) Russian research from back in the 1950s revealed that garlic is more powerful than antibiotics in destroying bacteria. It also causes moles and skin cancers to fall off.

• Put the garlic on in the morning; take it off and carefully wash the area in the evening before bedtime. Put on a new application. Remove it in the morning and repeat the process. Do this for about 3 days. The mole or ulcer will dissolve and slough off. Let the area heal. If part of it remains repeat the process at a later time.

• If you keep applying the garlic for more than 4 days it will begin burning deeper into the skin (you will know because the area will become very painful.) Such deep burning is not necessary to slough off the cancer and could be harmful.

• The herb chaparral works well for skin cancer. Take it as a tea or in tablet form.
