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!

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.

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.
