Natural Remedies for Melanoma? Bubbles vs Rob578

      Hi guys. So, Is there any natural remedy out there to prevent that disease?  I see Rob578 talks about bee propolis, and I assume  Bubbles disagree with that?  

      I marked three years since my melanoma in situ diagnosis, February 2015. 

      Thanks, 

      eric

          The best natural remedy for the prevention of melanoma is probably cotton.   Weave it into cloth.   Make the cloth into a shirt, pants, and a hat.    Cover your skin with them.  Do this every day from the day you are born and your chances of being diagnosed with melanoma will decrease astronomically.

              That only works in vitro, which I've recently learned is French for, " in the store window".

                Melanoma doesn't always come from the sunshine.  People get melanoma on there bodies where the sun has never shined.

                  Absolutely correct.   However, it is a significant, and known, risk factor.   The original poster asked about prevention, and, as the only known risk factor that one can likely control, staying out of the sun seemed a responsive reply.

                        When melanoma appears where the sun don't shine it is because the sun exposure gives your whole body a dose of radiation.  Insitu should never see a comeback.  Prevention is easier than cure.

                        As for remedies, sharpened steel seems to be high on my own list; however, I take the following daily supplements under the assumption that they may not do much harm and may possibly do some good (with no concrete evidence beyond the anecdotal that they actually do anything): Niacinamide, Vitamin B, Vitamin D3, and Curcumin
