There is a long history of proven experience with ointments that can neutralize and draw out tumors from the body, spanning hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Tumors can be removed using ointments without the loss of any organs. When combined with a suitable diet and so-called blood-cleansing herbs, this treatment has stood the test of time for several centuries.
In the late 1100s, the German mystic and abbess Hildegard of Bingen used an ointment containing the sap of violets. She believed that the active ingredients in the ointment, when in contact with cancer cells, would kill them. Hildegard also wrote about ”vermes” present in the bodies of cancer patients, which the ointment would destroy. These ”vermes” were something very small that died upon contact with the ointment. Hildegard was apparently aware of the potential for tumors to metastasize (spread). She recommended a ginger brew before surgery and for eight days afterward to prevent metastasis. During the Renaissance, there was a hot debate among physicians about whether the use of ointments or surgery was the most effective method for treating cancer. Fallopius (1523-1562), a famous surgeon, preferred ointments. Just over a century later, Henri Ledran (1685-1770) advocated surgery. In 1759, the English surgeon Richard Guy published an essay in which he described a hundred cures using an herbal ointment whose composition he refused to reveal. He had bought the recipe from a family that had kept the herbal composition a secret for centuries.
More recent experiences Dr. J. Weldon Fell, one of the founders of the New York Academy of Medicine, published his studies in 1858 regarding a paste containing bloodroot, zinc chloride, flour, and water. Fell apparently knew that bloodroot was part of the ointments used by Native Americans in the treatment of cancer. In the 1850s, he had moved from America to London, where he worked at Middlesex Hospital. Fell’s work was studied by his colleagues, who concluded that the method was safe and could be used for inoperable tumors. Furthermore, it spared the patient from having their breasts removed and the risks associated with surgery.
In 1911, the book ”Cancer: Its Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment” was published by the physician Eli G. Jones. He had over 40 years of experience in cancer treatment and seemed to be well-versed in the use of ointments. Jones argued that those who relied solely on ointments were quacks and that remedies for internal use were also necessary.
Recipes from Native Americans From the 1920s to the late 1940s, Harry Hoxsey used herbal teas for internal use and ointments for the treatment of superficial tumors at his clinics in the Midwest. Hoxsey had obtained the recipes, which he kept secret, from his grandfather, who likely received them from Native Americans. The American Medical Association (AMA) attempted to purchase the recipes in 1924, but Hoxsey refused to sell them because the AMA could not guarantee that the treatment would be made available to the public. After Hoxsey declined to do business with the AMA, he was subjected to a smear campaign, which forced him to close his clinics. Hoxsey, an oil millionaire, sued the AMA for defamation in 1949, and in the trial, which he won, the AMA’s lawyers admitted that Hoxsey’s treatment could cure cancer. In the book ”What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You,” the late physician H. Ray Evers shared his experiences with the so-called black and yellow ointments. – Black and yellow ointments, used alternately, create a hole in the skin and draw out the tumor. According to Evers, the ointments were effective for skin cancer and breast tumors. Many of those who used the ointments preferred to keep their composition secret. However, the American herbalists Samuel Thomson and John Christopher published the contents of various ointments and herbal compositions used for internal use to help the body eliminate breakdown products from tumors. Thomson and Christopher also encouraged the public to heal themselves.
Several different ointments There are several different compositions of these ointments. In some cases, only one ointment is used, while in other cases, two different ointments are used. When only one ointment is used, it typically contains an herb with an alkaloid as an active ingredient (Dr. Fell’s bloodroot ointment contains the alkaloid sanguinarine). This is usually combined with something that helps the ointment penetrate the skin and with fat to increase its drawing effect. Hildegard of Bingen’s ointment did not contain any special penetrating agent, and the ointment was absorbed into the blood when applied to the skin. When two different ointments are used, one is used to kill the tumor, and the other is used to draw it out, prevent infections, and promote healing. The ointment that is initially applied to the skin is usually referred to as escharotic (burning or caustic) or as an ointment that accomplishes enucleation (causing tumor tissue to begin separating from healthy tissue). The ointment generates heat, as some ointments increase blood circulation (e.g., Christopher’s cayenne ointment), while others induce a chemical reaction that generates heat in the tumor tissue. When the ointment is applied to a cancer-free person, nothing special happens, except perhaps for a mild skin reddening. However, the ointment can cause a significant burning sensation when applied to a person with cancer. In some cases, patients have had a fever after applying the first ointment, but this is not a disadvantage because tumor tissue is more sensitive to temperature increases than normal tissue. (See the article ”The Significance of Fever for Health” in the February 1996 issue of 2000-Talets Vetenskap).
A woman with a brain tumor A woman in her late thirties had her right breast and lymph nodes removed and received three months of chemotherapy. Four years after breast cancer, malignant tumors were found in her brain, and the prognosis was that she had two months left to live. The tumors were irradiated once. At the same time, she applied the ointments to the back of her neck at the base of her skull. She made a full recovery, and both she and her doctor attributed this to the ointments destroying the tumor tissue, with radiation only killing the central parts of the tumors. MRI showed a significant reduction in tumors after 5-6 weeks of using the ointments, and on a routine MRI much later, only scar tissue remained. The woman, who used the black and yellow ointments, had a fever for the first three nights after applying the black ointment. After about three weeks with the yellow ointment, which is drawing, no more yellow-green material could be drained through the hole at the base of the skull, but the area was reactivated with the black ointment.
Mechanism of action of the ointments Some ointments, such as Hildegard’s, are claimed to be able to kill cancer cells upon contact. Other ointments may contain potentially cancer-killing substances and/or create such a strong local or systemic temperature increase (fever) that tumor tissue succumbs to it. Pathologists who have examined what comes out through the hole in the skin have not always been able to identify tumor tissue. The material has often been in liquid form or dead tissue, and in some cases, it is referred to as ”burned.” Since the ointments can also be used to draw out infections in the body, it is likely that the ointments also draw out the organisms present in the tumor. Individuals with experience with the ointments strongly assert that they work even if they are not applied near the tumor.
One or two ointments? If only one ointment is used (e.g., Fell’s bloodroot ointment), it is applied until the tumor becomes loose and comes out. After a while, a scab forms and falls off. When this happens, usually a few days to a week after the ointment was first applied, a hole becomes visible in the skin. In some cases, the tumor comes out in liquid form through the hole, while in other cases, tumor fragments/dead tissue come out. The ointment is reapplied until there is no more reaction. The advantage of using two ointments instead of one is that the first ointment is used only until a reaction is achieved, after which the drawing ointment is used. This is generally a milder method than when only one ointment is used. The escharotic ointment can cause pain, but this usually disappears after 2-3 hours. Transitioning from the first ointment to the drawing/healing ointment can be a relief. The downside of using two ointments is that some patients are not aggressive enough with the first ointment and allow the hole in the skin to heal completely before they have removed the entire tumor instead of reactivating it with the escharotic ointment. If you decide to use the ointments, continue to use them until all tumor tissue has been removed.
How long does it take? The time it takes to remove the tumor depends on how aggressively the ointments are used, as well as the size and type of the tumor. – A woman with several small tumors in the breast got rid of four tumors in two days but decided that this was too long and had her breast amputated. She regretted it afterward but said that when she had the tumors in her breast, two days was too long for any treatment. With the ointments, two months of treatment is often not sufficient, but on average, it takes 3-6 weeks. However, several months of treatment are not uncommon. The risk of cancer spreading in the body when using the ointments is claimed to be nonexistent because the ointments are said to be able to draw out tumors from the body even when applied elsewhere than where the tumor is located.

Practical use of two ointments
- First, locate the tumor and determine its extent. See if you can get a bandage to stay in place without it moving or restricting movement. Test with a bandage without ointment to see if it adheres properly. Avoid nerves and sensitive areas. (For liver tumors, the ointment should not be applied to the solar plexus, and for breast tumors, the ointment should not be applied to the areola).
- Clean the skin surface with 3% hydrogen peroxide or ethanol (brandy) on a sterile compress.
- Apply a fairly thick layer (0.8 cm) of the first ointment. The area should not be larger than 3.5 cm in diameter. Cover the ointment with a compress slightly larger than the area where the ointment was applied. Cover the compress with plastic and tape it with waterproof tape to ensure there are no openings. The reason for using bandages in conjunction with the ointments is to prevent them from drying out and spreading to a larger area than intended.
- Expect the skin surface to start getting warm – this is a normal reaction. If you get a fever, don’t worry. Do not try to reduce the fever with medication. If the area becomes very hot, you can lift a corner of the bandage and check that the ointment has not dried out or caked. If it has, remove the ointment using 3% hydrogen peroxide or ethanol and reapply new ointment as described above. Check every 4-8 hours to make sure the ointment has not dried out. With most ointments, it is recommended to leave them on for 24 hours, but if the pain becomes unbearable, you can remove the first ointment and apply the drawing ointment even if it has not been 24 hours.
- Remove the bandage after 24 hours and gently clean the area with 3% hydrogen peroxide or ethanol. Inspect the skin surface. If nothing has happened, apply the ointment for an additional 24 hours. Do not use the ointment for more than 3×24 hours of total time. If nothing happens within this time-frame, you can either end the process or apply the ointment to another area. If small pin-sized blisters appear, apply the ointment for an additional 8 hours. Typically, the drawing ointment can be applied as soon as there is any reaction, even if it seems minimal. When the entire surface has reacted with the beginnings of scab-like formation, apply the second ointment – the drawing ointment.
- Apply the drawing ointment in the same way as the first ointment. Change the bandage with 8-24 hour intervals. Clean the area as described above.
- Once the scab has formed, ensure that the drawing ointment covers the periphery of the scab. Do not under any circumstances pick off the scab; let it fall off naturally. Normally, the area beneath the scab will be skin-colored and tender. There may be a hole in the middle of the area. This hole will remain open until the area has drained of infection and tumor tissue. The hole will heal when the process is complete.
- Continue with the drawing ointment until the process slows down. Then, stimulate the area again by using the first ointment in the same way as before.
- When the first ointment no longer produces a response, the process can be ended or another area can be activated. Do not activate more than one area at a time. Continue until there is no more tumor tissue left in the body.
