Look up Cancema cream on net. I know people who have used this powerful natural cancer killer. Works on Melanoma’s as well as other skin cancers. It burns into the cancer and destroys its roots as well.

I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading extremely slow for
me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end?
I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.
GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of the yet FDA approved HPV vaccine Cervarix, has released promising results about the vaccine. The results showed Cervarix to be 100 percent effective in young girls and women ages 9-55. This is compared to rival vaccine, Gardasil, which is effective in girls and young women ages 9-26.
Like Gardasil, Cervarix is a three dose vaccine given over a six month period. It has already been approved in Australia, and is currently under review by the FDA.
But the same smartphone that brings you Fruit Ninja might not be the best tool for diagnosing deadly melanoma.
Smartphone apps that evaluate moles for skin cancer risk missed threatening moles one-third of the time, according to a study by dermatologists at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Those apps let users photograph a funky mole or other skin lesion. Then the apps use mathematical formulas to look for asymmetry, irregular border, varied color, or a diameter larger than a pencil eraser. Those are the same things a dermatologist scans for during a checkup, and the things we're all supposed to be checking ourselves.
But for those of us who aren't skin docs, knowing when that asymmetry is no big deal, or which color change demands a panicked call for an appointment can be a challenge, even with the help of scary photos showing us . Surely an app could help with the anxiety, right?
"It seems so appealing," says , a dermatologist and co-author of the study, which was published online in JAMA Dermatology. "Unfortunately, our data suggest that maybe these apps aren't quite there."
Ferris and her colleagues used photos of 188 moles, 60 of which were confirmed as melanoma, to test four find-the-skin-cancer apps: three that do instant in-phone diagnosis, and one that ships the mole mug shots to a real live dermatologist for review.
The dermatologists correctly identified the suspicious moles 98 percent of the time. But the apps that relied on algorithms were much less reliable, missing the melanoma 30 percent of the time.
"One app would pick up a certain melanoma, and it would be missed by another," Ferris tells Shots. And it wasn't like they were going out of their way to stump the app. "These are melanomas that I could show to an untrained person and they'd go, 'That looks bad.' "
Ferris and crew didn't name the apps they tested. But a quick run through the iTunes store finds three that use algorithms to analyze moles for skin cancer risk. All carry disclaimers that say that they aren't offering a diagnosis or replacing medical advice.
The company behind had its two staff dermatologists review about 4,000 images taken with the mobile app, and also tested it on about 500 patients, according to CEO Roel van Summeren. That app analysis was accurate 70 percent of the time, he says. The firm is now working on a study with an academic medical center to compare the app with dermatologists' analysis and pathology reports.
"We don't want to replace the dermatologist, we want to complement the dermatologist," van Summeren tells Shots.
But these sorts of screening tools could give people a false sense of security, Ferris says. "Melanoma is a very time-sensitive diagnosis," she says. Melanoma caught early is curable, she says. But a lesion can grow deeper and spread to other organs within a matter of months. "We don't have good treatment for late-stage melanoma," she adds. Apps, she says, are "not good enough to trust your life with."
