WARNING: Please read the following instructions through carefully before applying Black Salve. Do not, in any way, deviate from the following. Remember, Black Salve will provide results only if you have skin cancer, as opposed to a benign growth. This includes basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas of the skin. For information on an alternative to benign moles and warts, see Bloodroot Paste.

--- (1) PREPARATION ---

Many people, on the observation that they have a "mole" or similar skin marking that is growing and getting darker, have elected to use Black Salve anyway. After all, Black Salve is selective in its action and will only "go after" neoplastic (cancerous) tissue. Healthy tissue will only redden and become mildly irritated when Black Salve is applied. This decision is entirely at the discretion of the user; there is no danger, toxic or otherwise, of applying Black Salve to healthy tissue, although doing so is simply a waste of the product.
In addition, if you are targeting more than one growth, do one at a time.

--- (2) APPLICATION ---

Centreforce Black Salve comes in .8 oz. and 1.6 oz containers. The product has the consistency of a thick, moist paste. It can easily be self-applied with the fingers and should be spread over the lesion or cancerous tissue in a thin covering, almost lightly "caked." Wash hands thoroughly before and after applying Black Salve.
The applied area will start to tingle shortly afterwards -- anywhere between 5 minutes to 6 hours after the initial application. (In fact, if you feel "nothing" after three to six hours, it is most likely that nothing more will happen: Black Salve has failed to come into direct contact with the cancer. After 24 hours, you will want to remove the Black Salve and reapply, repeating this process, until the Black Salve can reach and "grab" the underlying aberrant growth.) In some cases, there is a burning sensation with larger lesions, so it is important to have a non-prescription pain killer, available during the process. Areas larger than a square centimeter may require even stronger analgesics, which, being prescription, will require the services of a cooperative physician. Otherwise, observing good "pain management" It may require that the cancer be "taken out in stages." This involves applying a small amount to the edge of the growth, waiting for the sensations to die down as the eschar process begins, and then repeating this process on an adjacent area of skin until the entire area has been covered. Observe this same procedure if you are targeting more than one growth. Do one at a time. In this fashion, any discomfort is minimized because the entire process, which can at that point last several days, has been spread out over time. This bears repeating: never apply Black Salve to a large area, unless you are under a physician's care and advice.
It is also a good idea to place a bandage over the area, particularly if the forming eschar is on a place on the body that might be subject to being bumped or bruised in the course of daily activity. Another thing to consider is that Black Salve can stain clothing, so for practical, aesthetic, and cleanliness issues, covering the site is a good idea.

" . . . I applied Black Salve and no eschar appeared! . . . What do I do now?"
Black Salve has to come into contact with the target cancer area in order to work. It has transdermal properties (i.e. skin penetrating ability) - a characteristic that is enhanced with the Black Salve - Deep Tissue, as well as our veterinary versions. However, a couple of simple tricks can also speed up the process and/or reduce the number of applications required to "reach" a skin cancer that is well below the epidermis. Most people don't need these techniques if the skin cancer is close to the skin surface. We recommend that these "tricks of the trade" only be used if an initial application does not produce results - which turns out to be a minority of cases.
"Deep Loufah Wash" - Many people use a loufah sponge to rigorously wash and prepare the skin before applying Black Salve Salve. This serves to remove some of the dead cells in the top layer of the epidermis (the stratum corneum), so that Black Salve has less tissue through which to travel to get to the underlying cancer.
"Needle Points" - This technique is more effective, but more invasive. It involves taking a sterilized needle and carefully making holes in the skin - about a sixteenth to eighth inch deep, very much as an acupuncturist would - except that the needle is removed as soon as the holes, usually spaced about a quarter-inch apart. Following the creation of the "skin holes," Black Salve Salve is then (re)applied. We recommend that this technique be used by practitioners and not end users. We also advise that practitioners prep the area by rubbing three drops of Lugol's into the freshly "pricked" skin before Black Salve is (re)applied, provided that the subject is not diabetic - a clear contraindication, in which case hydrogen peroxide (3-6%) will act as a suitable substitute.)

--- (3) MANAGING THE ESCHAR ---
After 24 hours remove the bandage. Using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 - 3% and a Q-Tip, very lightly go over the lesion, removing any excess Black Salve and other organic debris (i.e. pus, serous fluid, etc. Normally one application is sufficient for small tumors (the size of a pencil eraser), but no more than three applications are required for larger tumors. There are instances, however, when repeated applications of Black Salve are required because of "accessibility" problems - although this can be limited using the techiques cited in the preceding section. In order to initiate the escharization process, however, and begin killing the cancer, it is vital that Black Salve be able to penetrate and reach the subject site. This can take multiple (three or more) applications, though one to two applications is more common.
After the eschar has formed, keep it well protected.
Normally the bandage can be left on for a period of 10 days: however, in advanced cases there is considerable "drainage," that is, a steady emission of pus. In the sense that Black Salve kills the cancer cells and takes certain leukocytes (defending white blood corpuscles) with it in the process of eliminating the neoplasm, it is a suppurative agent: that is, drainage should not be viewed as abnormal. The range of possible response is very little pus and only one bandage ever required, to a regular change of bandages required in the case of advanced melanomas. Your case will be somewhere in-between.


--- (4) REMOVING THE ESCHAR ---
The eschar itself represents the death of the neoplasm, and this occurs shortly after application. Everything that follows from there is the body's own reparative responses. From here on out, the body knows exactly what to do and wastes no time doing it. However, to us the days and weeks that follow may seem lengthy.
The next stage is the removal of the eschar, or scab. This usually happens within 10 days after initial application, unless the case is advanced and/or cancer(s) cover a large area of the body. As with any scab, let it fall out when it is ready. Do not pull it out prematurely, although you may find that it will eventually be attached with a small thread of skin tissue which can be easily and safely severed. If you remove the eschar premature, you further risk developing scar tissue.


--- (5) DECAVITATION & "HEALING OVER" ---
After the eschar comes out, the pit or "decavitation" can look raw and unsightly. Nonetheless, if kept covered and the everyday principles of good hygiene are followed, there will be no threat of secondary infection. If you work in area that is less than clean, however, you might want to have hydrogen peroxide handy, and apply it liberally to the site once a day to kill any invasive germs. Another option is the use of SilverAloe which accelerates the healing process and unlike hydrogen peroxide, has a thicker viscosity that allows it to stay on the skin longer.
Only in rare conditions does the cancer "come back" to the area applied, unless there is underlying metastasis. To be sure that the area is clear of cancer, many users elect to initiate a second, or even third, application after they get to the "heal over" stage. In other words, once Black Salve has finished its work, there are normally no residual cells from the original neoplasm. This rule finds more exceptions the larger the original cancer growth is, the deeper it is beneath the skin, the more instances of skin cancer the subject has experienced, and/or the more extensive a person's history of skin cancer is or has been. Remember, you may need to repeat this process if the skin cancer is sufficiently extensive such that residual cancer cells have been left behind after you finish your first "cycle." (Although, this same admonition would exist if you had your skin cancer surgically removed.)

The current ingredients In Centreforce Black Salve are: zinc chloride (Cl2Zn), chaparral Larrea mexicata), bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis); galangal root (Alpinia officinarium) or ginger root (Zingiber officinale); graviola leaf (Annona muricata), DMSO and glycerine (used as a humectant, to keep the product moist).

A wide variety of successful reports have come to our attention in the veterinarian area. The animals which have received the most attention are domestic cats, dogs; and horses. This page provides veterinary guidelines for the use of these products.

The application of Centreforce Black Salve to animals is fairly straight-forward and the same User Instructions would apply. The same cannot be said of the internal versions: Centreforce Capsules, Centreforce Tonic I, and Centreforce Tonic III, so please read the dosage information below carefully.

The standard human dosage for Centreforce Capsules, printed clearly on the label, is one capsule, twice daily -- a total of two capsules per day. This is a recommended "baseline" dosage. Many people with advanced cancers will take nine or more capsules per day, knowing that the body will let them know if they're overdoing it - (i.e. general nausea will set in, even when capsules are taken with meals, accompanied by excessive fatique... the symptoms go away when dosage is cut back to a manageable level. We do not, by the way, recommend that you exceed the "baseline" dosage unless you are under the care of a naturopath).
Most animals will use far less because of smaller body weight. To create uniformity in dosage, we are recommending that 160 lbs. (72.5 kg.) be used a baseline with animals for our standardization of dosage.
Prorating from there, and taking into account that a single double-O Centreforce Capsule is 750 mg., the following values would be produced for smaller animals (usually our pets: cats and dogs):

Centreforce Capsule Dosage for Cats & Dogs
If Animal Body Weight if ...	Then Daily Dosage Is...
5 - 10 lbs. (2.2 to 4.5 kg.)	1/4 Capsule (about 180 mg.)
20 lbs. (9 kg.)	1/2 Capsule (about 360 mg.)
40 lbs. (18 kg.)	1 Capsule (750 mg.)
80 lbs. (36 kg.)	2 Capsules (1500 mg.)
120 lbs. (54 kg.)	3 Capsules (2250 mg.)
Over 120 lbs	Email us.

Horses: The use of Centreforce Capsules with horses (and this is true as well for our other internal products) is limited. We have had users reporting pouring the contents of 15 to 20 capsules into their feed and seeing success, but our opinion is that the number of cases is too limited to draw useful, reliable dosage recommendations at this time. We invite veterinarians and end users to provide input. The same recommendations should apply with horses as with smaller animals: make sure the animal is taking Centreforce Capsules with a meal; be sensitive to any sign of nausea (i.e. signs of stomachic sickness, vomiting, etc.)

There are two versions of Centreforce Tonic -- the original version (Centreforce Tonic ) and Centreforce Tonic III. The usage instructions for both are quite different.
Centreforce Tonic : Using one Tablespoon (or 3 tsp., roughly 15 ml.), as our baseline, we have calculated that you are safe by giving your animal 3 drops of Tonic for every pound of body weight, or roughly 6 drops per kilogram - daily.
Keep in mind that you may break this up to ensure that you can safely hide the product in their food. So, for a 10-pound cat, you would give your animal 30 drops daily; however, this could be 10 drops, three times daily, or 15 drops, twice a day. As long as the aggregate daily dosage is the original 30 drops per day.
Dosage for pets would be one drop per daily of Tonic III per pound of body weight, or roughly one-third the dosage level of Tonic I.

There isn't one. If there were, we would drop the other products and stick to just one winner.
We have testimonial letters where the pet owner swore by Centreforce Capsules, and other letters where the owner indicated that Centreforce Tonic was the better product. This should surprise no one remotely familiar with pharmacology, or the narrower field to which we devote our attention: phytopharmacology. Any PDR (Physician's Desk Reference) contains many alternative medications, so that if one does not work, the physician has therapeutic choices for his particular patient's need. The same goes for supplement products
Based on our most recent information, we are recommending Centreforce Capsules or Tonic first -- and then we are shipping Centreforce Tonic III if, for whatever reason, the original product fails to provide the intended result.
