Dude, my Dad had small spots of skin cancer, his dermatologist took it out with laser using only local numbing, took less than an hour and his skin has no scars. Don't mess with things that can ruin your health, the solution is much simpler than it looks!
Yes, skin cancer is one of the most treatable! I went to check out a mole and it ended up being ok, but you don’t even have to really worry about cancer medicines like chemo if you’re good about getting lesions checked when they appear. My appointment was super relaxed, we even got some acne treatment done too.
I had doctor, I think, take out painfull moles in an office with a machine that was like a laser but it was electricity . He zapped anything I had indicated. Excellent job in CR.. So now I have skin cancer, just spots. And iam looking for the laser dude once again
I saw a video about a man who tried to remove his skin cancer by himself but unfortunately in the end the cancer spread to his brain bcs of what he did.
Never do this kind of thing at home.
@@astralklein539 the video by ChubbyEmu?
Wow!!!
"After removing my own cancer" is it just me or does she seem proud of that statement even after melting her nose and forehead trying to, she never seems to acknowledge that this was pretty much entirely self inflicted and admit her mistake.
I totally got that vibe from the photo of her smiling while showing the damage she did to her face. I hope she learns from her mistakes but I do find it a tad ironic that she initially wouldn’t get treatment for cancer but would get major surgery to reverse the damage she inflicted on herself
It was stupid BUT in her case it appears to have worked. The treatment for skin cancer is generally to just cut it out, black salve does sort of the same but in an uncontrolled way. And you won't know if you got all the cancer, so if you miss a cancer cell or two... oops. Or you could kill more tissue than would have been required, though that wouldd probably the lesser evil. If you're really unlucky, it's both.
I belong to a anti woo group where a woman just removed a small skin cancer on her nose with black salve and not only did she completely remove part of her nostril she also ate away everything into her sinuses on that side. A tiny scar was bad to her but a open sinus cavity is fine😖. In the BS support group she is in the other members(this is not the anti woo group)they are telling her it will all grow back but without the cancer.

She instantly said she’s down for plastic surgery to fix her mistake but she refused to get surgery to remove her skin cancer??? Girl- you need some help
her choice
Is soooo weird for me that she didn't have the surgery for cancer but have surgery for her nose job
I guess live and learn. In hindsight she might wish she had done things differently.
Right???
Zero common sense!!
And the reconstructive surgery probably also cost significantly more than the removal of the skin cancer would have cost.
I would bet the cancer treatment is covered by insurance. The reconstructive surgery, not so much
Possible life saving surgery: "I'll pass thanks"
Cosmetic surgery: "sign me up"
She wanted to find something “less invasive” and “cured” her cancer with a messy uncontrolled eating away all the tissue compared to having the cancer surgically removed with precision, and ends up having two surgeries that are possibly just as invasive to fix her destroyed nose.
Right? That lady is one of the stupidest I've seen. Then had to get invasive plastic surgery to fix it.
😂😂😂😂
Today is so simple to remove spots of skin cancer using laser with local numbing, don't understand what the actual f*** she was thinking
i feel like its 110% because she could not afford the outrageous healthcare costs in USA
My father in law always says: who pays less, pays twice!!
This is the exact example of it
She used black salve to avoid surgery only to need surgery to repair the damage from the black salve.
After all that somehow she still seems proud of treating herself when she could have just gone with the original surgery and done far less damage...
And insurance would’ve covered it too. Thus being more affordable, effective, and less damaging. Also there is no guarantee that she even burned out all the cancer.
@@cannsmith people amaze me. Smh
She wanted to avoid one surgery. And ended up with at least three.
And this dumb lady is out there, voting & possibly reproducing. Scary
There’s a part of me that thinks she should be forced to live with the disfigured nose, and made an example of as to what snake oil and “hollistic” medicine does.
Maybe she’d have learned her lesson if the damage was permanent.
I'm not a native English speaker, so I hope I didn't get this right...
she refuses a minor surgery to remove her skin cancer.
instead, she slathered a toxic, non specified compound on her nose, that eat away her skin and cartilage.
so then she proceeded to have a way more invasive kind of surgery (and most likely more than one session) to correct the mess she made in order to avoid surgery.
...
🤔🤦♀
well, that's some major circular reasoning 🤷♀
Some people just learn harder than others….
If you are not American, it might help to understand that even a simple procedure to remove a small spot of skin cancer can cost tens of thousands of dollars. It obviously doesn't matter after the fact as ahe had to get expensive surgeries anyway, but that's why people in the US are so eager to try things like this rather than go to a doctor. We simply can't afford it.
@@cassiusvoidkin So true, it’s terrible. There are also many medicines that could really help Americans but we cannot possibly afford, so many people try supplements that don’t work well.
You understood it perfectly correctly.
This part isn't directed to you, but to other commentors. I get awfully tired of everyone bashing the US health system. Canadians can't even travel outside of their home province and be sure if coverage. Want to come to the US? Well first, you'll have to buy supplemental coverage, which gets more expensive the older you get. Oh, and if you stay too long you lose your coverage altogether. Then there's the wait times. Canadian friend waited several years to get a knee replacement. Keep your socialized medicine and leave mine alone, tyvm.
@@morrigan908 I have experience with the US healthcare system that thankfully you seem to have not had to experience, I think. Not everyone has the same experiences.
She seems exactly the type of person who would do what she did. The look on her face, the way she talks, how she carries herself just screams "I googled for 5 minutes and now I know more than doctors who spend decades learning."
„Vaccines are a government conspiracy“ type 😂
Unfortunately, with the state of American medicine and the medical system, you are pretty much forced to use Dr. Google. Docs spend five minutes with you, pass it off as something simple, and you get worse, so Dr. Google is a way to advocate for yourself. Unfortunately, it is generally NOT a way to TREAT yourself.
Good to see you generalizing like the underachiever you are junoant
I had a very bad bleeding melanoma on my back. Went to Doctor. He said operate this afternoon. I instead obtained Black Salve. Wife put it on my back. It stung. It pussed up. It changed 2 different colours over 5 weeks. 2 weeks later the scab dropped off. Left a small light red mark 90% smaller than when it started. 2 weeks later went back to Doctor. He was shell shocked. Didn't want to know about it. 3 friends of mine have used it & also cured them 100%. big pharma finds out who's selling it they will be prosecuted. No money in a quick cheap cure after all.
That’s quite detailed, however with such resentment for ‘people like that’ you would be much easier to analyse, a quick glimpse would probably paint your life story.
My mom's close friend died really young from a treatable breast cancer because she tried treating it with homeopathy. Sometimes modern medicine get a bit too good at treating things that people would start underestimating chronic illnesses. Cancer is no joke people, please don't take the leap of faith with alternative medicine with a life threatening disease
Same thing happened to Steve Jobs he got diagnosed with a completely treatable form of prostate cancer but decided he was just going to eat a bunch of fruit instead of getting treatment and surgery and then he died
People entering the medical industry these days are taught to practice holistic medicine. We're told to only discourage alternative treatments that will conflict with the doctor-recommended method, or ones that are high risk.
The placebo effect is real, and even without it, the only reason we'd have to discourage safe alternative medicine in conjunction with treatment is to save the patient money and time. But we're not accountants or bankers. It's their money and time, they should spend it how they want.
@@PWNsoldier Yea but it still pains me to see people who just didn't have the training we had fall for things like that. Sure if aroma therapy helps you getting through chemo thats fine and helps a lot with treatment. But so often I see people at the Pharmacy I work in (in Germany where homeopathy and such has a stupidly high status legally) chosing something thats 10 times more expensive than the thing that has tons of evidence and is dirt cheap like Ibuprofen for pain. Sorry for the long paragraph but people practicing alternative medicine could be such a good addition to holistic treatment but so often it's just not and people claim things like it can cure cancer... and people belive them cause they are desperate
My aunt waited too long too before getting proper medical treatment. It took my mom to see her without a bra on. Her breast looked like someone had stuffed a bunch of grapes into it :( She realized this was serious after mom called a doctor she knew, and they scheduled the operation for 3 days later. Unfortunately, the cances had metastasised at that point, so she only lived for another 12 years, with various forms of cancer. She said one should not ignore medical issues. When we all knew she would die and I told her I don't want her to, she said I shouldn't feel bad about it - she would finally get some rest :'(
Current standards of BC treatment are severely inconsiderate and lacking in innovation. Women are treated like chattel and lied to while men get to make the truly informed decisions meaning they are informed of ALL the risk before consenting to medical treatment of relevant cancers. The information out there is really disturbing and I totally understand how someone might look for better solutions in alternative medicine. If women had better options and treated with respect by modern Healthcare fewer of them would die.
I used to work for an herbalist and we had a similar philosophy. If you have a headache or a mild fever or a cold sure we'd give you some willow bark extract or elderflower or yarrow or whatever. But when it came to things like cancer or other similarly deadly illnesses we'd be like "go to a flipping oncologist" Sure we'll make tinctures to help with pain, appetite stimulation, immune support, etc. but by the time something like cancer has happened, the systems are broken down beyond the ability of our methods to repair. We can help, but they need allopathic medicine at that point.
"They need Allopathic medicine at that point" Thank you! You have such GOOD sense!!! 🤗💛
Willow bark extract is great for pain, it's where aspirin came from
People who take blood thinners cannot use any of those herbs.. unfortunately I am limited to tumeric for inflammation and hot cold treatments and massage.
I belonged to a group on Facebook that one of the rules was, you could not recommend someone see a doctor! I did not last long, especially after someone had gotten a cut on their hand that developed a serious infection. The whole hand was swollen, red, weeping pus. The people that went ahead and said you need the ER, you need a doctor, got attacked, then booted. These people are willing to DIE rather than see a doctor. Granted, I had something similar, but FAR less advanced, when I was a kid, my mother put an epsom salt pack on it (basically a poultice), wrapped it up, and kept an eye on it, since a red streak had started travelling from my hand. Did the job, but she was making sure it did, or we'd have...now keep in mind, this is apparently a novel idea...WENT TO THE FREAKING DOCTOR! Few years later, did it again when a blister on my foot got infected (stupid summer sandals). Home remedies have their place, but there is a point at which you have to actually see a medical professional. Maybe the ease at which I'd get infections should have been a clue that my immune system was screwed.
@@AhNee oh your not lying.. similar situation here..my oldest daughter refused for most of her adult life to go to a doctor, I kept warning her about the consequences and now at age 32 she has tremors and a brain injury and is under the care of a neurologist. Herbal remedies have their place, but they can sometimes be dangerous especially if you are using a blood thinner or heart medication.
So 21 yrs ago I had a raised mole on my neck. My mail lady gave me the black salve. I put the microscopic dot from a toothpick on it. Cover w bandaid. Next day it flattened it and turned it white looking like a cauliflower another dot of toothpick cover. The next day it stuck to bandaid and my daughter tried to peel it off when she did it pulled it out the size of quarter BUT it made a hole through all layers of skin. Down to muscle in neck. It looked so bad I went to PA he put a crème on it, gave me antibiotics for 7 days. I put that crème on and luckily took away all the bloody hole. I have a quarter size scar on my neck but at least I DIDNT DIE FROM A MAJOR INFECTION IN MY BLOOD OR TISSUE. Literally I only put dot from tip of toothpick and it created all that damage. Please DO NOT USE IT OR LET PEOPLE TELL YOU ANOTHER NAME FOR IT! I’m into herbal remedies but DO NOT USE EVER N LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT! Bless you Dr. For addressing this issue.
I never heard of Black Salve. What does it smell like?
that's so scary... I'm glad your experience wasn't even worse
it is EVIL!!!

Doctor: we need to remove something from your face that will kill you
Her: no, let me spend 2 hours researching it and destroy my nose.
Doctor: you need to cosmetically fix your jacked up nose
Her :I’m in
We might cure cancer but we will never cure foolishness.
I lived with an 'herbalist' who put this stuff on my face without explaining what it was. She dabbed it on my face and covered it with a bandaid to 'let it soak in'. I as horrified the next day, I was so upset.... she didn't seem to care nor understand the violation. I told her I was going to the police after my doctor was shocked and told me it was illegal.... I still can't locate this woman and I'm left with a scar after taking care of the Esher that formed. My skin in that area is not the same and I hope more people become aware of this horrible practise.
Jesus I’m so sorry 😞 It’s so unfair you have to live with that. What a horrible and dangerous person. I hope they’re caught and aren’t able to do this to anyone else
Jeez she moved out while you went to the police never to be seen again? Holy crap!! What a horrible experience.
If we knew her name, that might help.
@@dieselscience i knew her first name but she had a 'spiritual' alias for her last name.... should've been my first red flag
@@dream9831 Wow... it must be rough. IF you ever see her again, get her photo ... 'the internet' will help you.
She seems proud of “Removing my own cancer.” She quite literally removed her nose to spite her face and sees nothing wrong with it.
Could have done the same thing with an axe, with the same result.
My mum recently had her skin cancer removed from her face. Her plastic surgeon did an amazing job. It's still a fairly fresh surgery but if you weren't looking for it, you'd not even notice the scarring.
Don't be afraid to have your doctor take off your skin tags. I wore mine for a few too many years because I'm dumb. It's a 5 minute procedure, assuming the doctor has to go find the nitrogen canister.
10/10 would let the doc shoot me with a freeze gun again.
Sure, you can go to the Doc. You can also tie a string REAL TIGHT around the root of them and they will fall off in about a week. *As long as you know it is just a benign skin tag, they’re pretty distinct looking*
@@k.hendrickson8735 5 minute near pain free procedure with medical staff on hand or diy fishing line trick…
@@k.hendrickson8735 wrong channel for DIY projects
@@Name-ot3xwIt's actually perfectly safe, some skin tag removal products have the same idea behind them.
You prevent blood from reaching a skin tag, eventually that piece of tissue will necrose and fall off. Your body will handle the rest for you. Same principle as when a baby is born and they still have a bit of their umbilical cord left, you use an umbilical cord clamp/band and it eventually shrivels up and falls off. If it's safe enough for what is essentially an organ on literal newborns then it's safe enough for your tiny skin tags.
it's not brain surgery.
@@k.hendrickson8735you can also use the otc wart spray on yourself. It’s actually kind of hard to tie line on yourself, depending on where the tags are.
I had a great aunt who used some kind of homeopathic salve to “cure” her breast cancer. It took her life. I think it could have been black salve but I’m not sure. In the end it was very hard to go see her because of the smell , the salve was eating away at her breast. She was so delusional , she waited until the very end to get help and they tried to save her but it was too late. Worst is , it was pushed on her by the person selling the product , her cancer wasn’t very advanced when she was diagnosed and her life could have been saved. That person left her to rot away while taking her money.
If I remember this story correctly, she initially looked for alternative treatment because her doctor wanted to do the skin flap surgery when removing the cancer, but she was scared after researching the procedure. The sad thing is, she ended up needing a skin flap surgery anyways and was worse off :( I'm so glad she seems to be doing better now.
She first needed Mohs micrographic surgery , not the kind of skin flap that ended up needing but a procedure where the tumour is removed in thin layers until only healthy tissue is left behind. Its a bit like getting a cavity removed and will leave a visible hole that will be closed with reconstructive surgery , usually shifting tissue in a small “skin flap” or with a graft. It can also just closed with stitches depending on the shape. It leaves a scar behind but it’s very possible to get work done on the scar later on. Magical thinking probably made her believe that she could control the product to remove a much smaller portion than all the people reporting disfigurement online.
She's a whole ass adult, she did this to herself.
@@Notawesomeatall7 people make mistakes damn girl

Remember back in the day when they would televise full uncensored surgeries on TLC or whatever? Super interesting to watch, even if it made me queasy.
My favorite was a young lady who had osteoarthritis. She had every knuckle on both hands replaced. Amazing!!!!
The snowflakes complained and now clips like Dr Lee's cyst removals are blurred. People are such crybabies.
@@mattiemathis9549really?! They almost never replace finger joints these days.
If she did some reading into how skin cancer is treated she'd find out it's not nearly as heinous to your skin. My dad has been treated a few times. She melted her nose rather than go to a doctor.
My thoughts exactly! If I was going to smear something on my face, you'd better believe I'd have researched the hell out of it before using it!!!
And btw, I have had a pre cancerous spot removed from my nose. I dont even remember how they did it, but I do know that I went back to the office with a little round spot bandaid on my nose. When people asked what happened I told them that id spent too much time at work with "my nose to the grindstone" and had to have the callous removed. (I was working with 12 other male Soldiers so the answer was appropriate 😊)
15 years later, there is no evidence of anything.
I am in some psoriasis groups and in this one small group I was in a troll came into the group and was telling people to use this stuff. I notice in the psoriasis community people are SOOO desperate to try anything for relief... especially people who are really new to getting psoriasis... trolls and hokey sales people and MLMs are constantly preying on them in those groups. Luckily an admin kicked them out but not before a lot of people said "I'll have to try this!". >. < ... ugh
That’s not what a troll is.
OMGosh!!! I think that's terrible!!! I hope you were able to correct this impression in some ppl. Have a great day.

“All I needed was a little skin abrasion by a doctor, but I believe in homeopathy, so I dissolved my nose and then got major reconstructive surgery costing me the price of a new car. Next week I’m getting rid of some cancerous colon polyps by putting a live shark up my butt.”
No, no, no!! Please don’t put a live shark up your butt!!! LOL!! 🤣🤣
So she didn't want a simple operation to remove the cancer, but instead had to go through 2 major surgeries to repair the damage.
Good decision 👏 👌 🤣
My mom had squamous cell carcinoma on her cheek last year and had Mohs surgery to treat it (the use a microscope to remove all the cancerous tissue and then have a pathologist look at it on site). It was a simple surgery and she did well and her scar barely shows now. Holistic medicine does have its place, but in my mom’s case it wouldn’t have helped her. She’s been doing great since then and wears sunscreen everyday when she’s outside (I remind her lol).
Sunscreen gives you cancer. The sun does does not. You've been lied to. What will is staying out of the sun and wearing sunglasses. Sad how dumb the western world has become. The life giving sun is bad for us now😂😂😂😂😂
@@truthhurts2149I have never seen someone be so confidently wrong in my life
@@truthhurts2149 No, sun exposure causes skin cancer. Sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer.
I used black salve when I was in college to get rid of a concerning spot on my arm. I do not recommend it, I still have a keloid scar that some people think is a bullet wound on my arm. I learned my lesson, next time just let the doctor look at it.
How on earth could she sleep through her nose being dissolved?!?
I'm thinking she didn't really feel anything because you don't really have major nerves going through the nose so maybe it wasn't really that painful somehow?
@@mayflyrose8195 idk man I've burnt my nose before and it fucking hurt.
@@SjofnBM1989 I'm sure it did. Maybe she just expected to burn so she just went with it, I don't know ^^" but if it dissolved her nerve with time she wouldn't have felt the pain anymore after a while though.
I think this is partly an indictment of our health care system where life saving treatment is insanely expensive even with insurance. Medical expenses are the number one cause for personal bankruptcy. Now that I moved to the UK I realised how horrible the US health care system is. People are willing to try anything at home and it's the systems fault not theirs.
But you also have to look at groups like all those farmers who are stubbornly “self-sufficient” or people who sweat by essential oils. It’s not that they can’t pay for medical care, it’s that they truly believe that they don’t NEED doctors and can take care of these things on their own. It’s self-enforced ignorance. Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if the high cost of medical care was a factor in breeding these sorts of anti-doctor beliefs, but I still think foolishness is a much larger factor. We have the internet nowadays; it’s so easy to look up things like black salve and see the negative side effects. But people like this woman either don’t believe that it could be that bad or don’t look it up in the first place.
@@zapheil id have to disagree. Yes there are some people who completely disregard western medicine because they believe holistic approaches to be ‘safer’ and just as effective. However I absolutely believe it is down to the healthcare system in the US being overpriced and inaccessible. There is a lot of poverty in the US. Even the poorest of the poor can seek medical attention in the UK, I’ve seen that because the healthcare here is so easily accessible, even those who swear by holistic methods will consult with their doctor for all the possible options because they have nothing to lose. Whereas in a country where a bill is handed to you after a simple routine check up or ambulance pick up you would think twice before calling a doctor and be more inclined to search for alternatives that are cheaper.
There's nothing in the video that even hints at the cost of treatment being a factor in her decision to use the black salve. She only says she decided to look for an alternative to surgery and found the salve. No mention of cost. It turned out that after the multiple surgeries she had to have to correct what she did, she probably paid much more than the original treatment would have cost her. That additional cost isn't the fault of the health care system. It was her fault.
@@itszenbaby And you’d have to pay in full up front to remove the cancer if you don’t have insurance in the US. Without insurance or money, they will only help to keep you from dying right now. Doesn’t matter if you’re going to die in a week.
@@MsPea Fact is, we don't have all the info here. She probably didn't either. Yeah, she should've just done the mainstream medical treatment. But she didn't. That doesn't mean she deserves to be punished.
I hold more disdain for the people peddling false treatment than most, but as long as the alternative medicine is safe, and the patient ALSO uses the doctor-recommended treatment, that's not a problem.
The problem is people who spread the sentiment that mainstream medical treatment is dangerous, unnecessary or ineffective. They mislead people into killing or hurting themselves.
From the info we have here, she's a victim, not the problem.
it's almost like she could have completely avoided all of this if she would have not been an idiot and tried to "treat" her own cancer. when people do shit like this, i always think that they kind of got what they deserved.
It's so important to remember that some of these "cosmetic" surgeries offered by plastic surgeons are so much more. The patient mentions that she can breathe better here. I definitely believe that.
Even if there's a surgery that doesn't offer any "real" benefit, some people might be experiencing body dysmorphia or dysphoria. It might even be caused by trauma, like burn victims. We're finally in a place where we encourage people to love themselves regardless of looks, but some people need a little bit extra, and they should get that help.
Next on Five Minute Crafts - DIY skin cancer treatment
I think of the stubborn farmer who cut off his skin cancer with a pocket knife and thought he was getting it all - but metastasis was definitely going on! By the time he got proper help it was too late. See the chubbyemu video.
I was thinking the same thing!!
It seems odd she would “treat” her own cancer yet she is willing to go to a plastic surgeon 🤯 Could have saved pain and 💰by GOING TO A DOCTOR!!!
I'm guessing the original surgery she would have had to remove the skin cancer was Mohs surgery?? Where thin layers of skin are removed and every layer is inspected until it comes back cancer free. It's pretty safe and allows for the most minimal amount of tissue to be removed. If so, she likely ended up damaging more tissue than she would have if she got the surgery anyways. Sometimes surgery is the more conservative option compared to these approaches.
So in order to avoid a minor surgery to remove a small amount of skin cancer, she destroys her nose, thus requiring a massive repair job in order to replace her nose. I think she is a definite contender for a Darwin Award.
When you said integration, I thought "omg another homeopath. Let's see what kinda bs essential oil he pedals". then you're like "western medicine which is proven to treat cancer..." and I thought, yup, this is where the bs comes in, then you said "and diet and exercise".
Tldr you had me in the first half.
I had Mohs surgery in the exact same place she had. I had an aggressive basal cell carcinoma. After the procedure, my doctor took a skin graft from neside my ear to close the wound. It was a tough few months going around with a huge bandage on my nose, but I kept on going to work. It eventually healed and is now undetectable. A friend reied to get me to try black salved. Glad I didn’t. Eek! 🦋😊
So I did some research after having an argument with a friend who swears by black salve… Here in the US, the stuff they sell in the drug stores as black salve is pretty much just a topical ointment. However, if you get it from other countries, that’s a different story. There are different varieties of black salve and certain varieties have ingredients that will do exactly what the salve did to her face. Do your research, check the ingredients. That’s pretty much good advice for every product you buy.
“Black salve” and “black ointment” are two completely different things, not just in USA.
The stuff they sell in drug stores is ichthammol. It’s a salve/ointment that just happens to be black but it’s not marketed as THE black salve like this. It’s. “Drawing salve” and mostly just old people use it.
@@tookitogo Both go by 'black salve', one is a drawing salve that likely uses charcoal, the other is nasty stuff, usually made in other countries (though the main ingredient is a Native American plant, bloodroot), and there are no controls as to how strong, weak, efficacious, or dangerous it can be, so it's best just avoided.
@@clintparsons3989yes, if I recall right it’s for drawing boils. I have no idea if it works or not.
My dermatologyst removed a tiny cancer on my forehead. For years I only wore a brim when in the sun. Immediately upon removal, under topical anesthesia, the dermatologist took the removed tissue on a slide, and reassembled it under a microscope. She completely assembled the cancerous growth to verify she had removed the entire affected area. I had a follow-up to remove a couple of stitches near my hairline. No scar visible!
I got great satisfaction from this one. In her picture, with the black salve on, she looks so impressed with herself. I bet she thought she was smarter than all those doctors. Until reality knocked on the door & asked her to hold it’s beer.
Some days I look at my acne scars and stress about it.. (even though everyone says they're hardly noticeable) but when I see this $#!t I know I'm totally fine!!!
Whoever treated her before the show did such an amazing job getting her to that point.
I have a crazy grandmother who has skin cancer growing by the side of her eye which she absolutely refuses to go to the doctor for. She would definitely do something like this.
I’m honestly shocked at how well it looks before she ever even met the botched doctors.
Wow - as someone who has had skin cancer (and had professional surgery to remove it), I can't even imagine why she would risk her own life this way. When I was diagnosed, I was only too happy to be told that there are modern surgery techniques that solve this problem if it is identified early. WHY would she do this?
How did they do a forehead flap when she had a huge, black spot of dead tissue on her forehead?
They likely removed that, as well, and stiched it up.
At this point I'm a bored uncertified plastic surgeon
Geee this could have all been prevented if she just got the first surgery which was probably way more less evasive. Well she ended up having surgery in the end.
WTF are people doing to themselves
They're stupid.
I had a patient put this on her leg for a tiny skin cancer, she really screwed up her leg…we had to sit her down and tell her she needs to stop immediately or she could cause severe permanent damage. Was scary what this little black paste does
Black salve, less is more. It’s only supposed to be a tiny amount applied. Not a handful.
Not as bad ass as the dude who burned the skin cancer off his arm with a red hot metal rod and it never came back.
Fun fact: the forehead flap is one of the oldest known surgeries . The first writing we have documenting it is in the Sushruta Samhita written in ~600BCE.
Oh right, I think I learned this from Sam O. Nella
Interesting! Thanks!!
@@candylide Ha ha ha! 😂👍
I'm trying to figure out if he did another video where someone used black salve or if this is possibly a re-upload of something YT might have tried to take down for one reason or another ( Because TH-cam is weird like that. )
Is this a reupload? i swear i've seen you react to this botched episode before >.>
I thought the exact same thing
Same here
Ikr I was just thinking the exact same thing
He has, on his channel 'Doctor Youn'. I don't know what is going on with this channel, I'm very confused
Amazing how smug she looks with those huge burn marks all over her face "Look what I did! I cured cancer!" Anyway, I'm not sure if PRID is considered black salve but I use it for Bartholin's cyst and it always makes them go away within a week with no ill effects.
The real problem here is people do not know how to use common sense when determining the difference between decent first aid skills and serious medical conditions.
Good first aid skills can be life saving, but you need to know your skills. I like to tell people, I might be able to fix parts.of my car, but the important thing is knowing when your skills end and when to call the pro.
Shouldn't this product be illegal? Or... what is the intended use? As in- some sort of industrial purpose?
Thanks for sharing,dear Doctor
Your skin looks fresh and glowing
Cannot understand why anyone would do this to themselves
What a shame
Always go to a trained Doctor for the correct diagnosis and treatment
Am I the only one who thinks she wasn’t necessarily proud of what she did, but that she was just being matter-of-fact about it? Like, ‘This is what I did, why I did it, and now I’m going to move forward and see Dr. Nassif to get my nose back.’ Idk, maybe I’m just optimistic that she learned something through this experience.
I wish they hadn't fixed her nose... I am sorry, she was proud, listening to her statement "I removed my cancer" no she put a acid on her face that ate her nose... she doesn't see that what she did was a mistake and you can count on the fact she is online telling others that you should be doing the same.. I am sure I saw her in another video about black salve, where she was telling people to use it.
they just gave her a nose she can use as a weapon "see I used it and I am fine"
they should of told her to leave and live with what she did
That’s just mean
I was at a lecture where a holistic chiropractor told us that she used essential oils to treat her son's ADHD. I thought it was a little irresponsible to completely forsake western medicine in favor of less evidence-based treatments, but I also saw where she was coming from. I have ADHD myself, so I know how powerful Adderall can be. Her son was only 7 and she didn't want to deal with the possible side effects which I entirely understand. However, when she started to suggest using essential oils to treat an asthma attack instead of a rescue inhaler, she lost me.
I fully support holistic medicine, but that comes with the stipulation that you cannot just swear off western medicine entirely. I'm thankful Dr. Youn makes it clear that he doesn't suggest holistic treatments as an alternative to traditional medicine, but as something to try on top of it.
Yes, holistic medicine is nonsense.
The side effects of over vaxxing & psychotropic drugs given to neurologically injured children is absolutely CRIMINAL & the current day medical industry DENIES any of this nor do they take any responsibility for their recommendations causing so much damage decade after decade.
Why all the reposts dr youn?
My mom was gonna get black salve but my dad said hell no, my dad is smart thank god
It would have been wayyyyyyy simple if she had a dr remove the cancer in the first place
Society has changed the meaning of 'holistic'. Like he said, it's about working with the whole, eating right, exercising, and using scientific and natural options as needed. Unfortunately someone changed it to mean DIY. Scary.
*screams in nurse*
I remember working with doctors and SEEING their horrified faces after they were told patient tried cabbage leaf for breast cancer and similar situations.
BUT THIS...!
It's true that she removed her cancer. And half her nose with it.
The plastic surgeon did an amazing job. Best I've ever seen, even though the end result is a little bit Barbara Streisand.
This reminds me of my friend who performed her own ingrown toenail surgery in her bathroom. How bad do you gotta fear doctors to 1) get totally wasted on tequila, 2) dig her toenail corners out of her toes, 3) slice toenails down the sides, 4) can't even imagine what else it entailed, 5) all on your bathroom sink. No sterilization, no numbing, no medical degree, but tons of really bad judgement and a few Google searches. When she told me, I almost fainted just hearing about it.
Well, in the US, most people can afford doctors.
@@AhNee No, she had insurance. I think there's a disconnect with some people about education here in the USA. Some people underestimate what benefits an education brings. They diagnose diseases they don't have with Web MD, and then they see a surgery for it online and think, "I can do that!" I used to think this was just one person, but actually no, she's my impression of her fellow "I love the uneducated" dipsticks of the world.
I had the same nail condition (which wasn't even truly "ingrown" yet, our toes looked the same before all this), and a nail tech at the local mall taught me how to trim my own toenails (no blood or surgery, just some nail clipping technique) to stop the problem, and now I have cute toenails without any pain. That nail tech wasn't even a PhD, but she was EDUCATED and TRAINED enough to inform me how NOT to mutilate my own toes.
@@Sarappreciates I've had the complete opposite experience. Even with my insurance, I can't get anything done. So I have to be my own advocate. Doctors think that because they spent all that time in med school, they're gods. But, all their knowledge is still online for anyone to read. Sure, some misdiagnose, and do stupid shit, but, it's helped me discover things wrong with myself and others that doctors just don't have time to address, especially if it's not something simple.
@@AhNee I need to be careful with it. I'm in my 3rd year of immune suppressing therapy for metastatic breast cancer. I'm under the impression that oncologists themselves work in a secret cave with microscopes and all the stuff they need to keep doing their mad scientist stuff. I see my oncologist twice a year, but every month I see one of her physician's assistants (Basically nurses with master's degrees), so I've bonded most with them and the tech nurses since my diagnosis, and they're very smart people.
When you get a progressive disease diagnosis, people who read online and feel super smart suddenly come out of the woodwork and throw all kinds of crazy your way; it's like the Internet, but on steroids, like, "Eat these mushrooms, they cure cancer! Use these bed sheets, they cure cancer! Do this yoga, it cures cancer." Even the most insane stuff, like, "Put this coffee up your butt, it cures cancer!" And there comes a time when you gotta just go to the experts and be WTF in their faces. What's true, what's not, and how will it interact with my meds?
There are too many variables I don't know about. Getting cancer taught me I didn't even know WHAT QUESTIONS TO ASK for almost the whole first year, it felt like an entire semester of college again, but at 50, not 20. They knew things I wouldn't have ever thought to search Google to find. *It's unreal how much more they know than the Internet.* The hard working experts are experts for good reason; they've truly WORKED at it. I don't gotta put coffee up my butt to know it won't work, and although bamboo fiber bed sheets won't cure cancer, they definitely help with night sweats.
EDIT: Also, your doctor is an ass if they aren't at least CURIOUS about you. Change doctors if yours isn't CURIOUS. It's SCIENCE, they're supposed to be CURIOUS! *Your doctor works for YOU, not the other way around.* I've had crappy doctors in the past, and I walk out on them and get someone new until I find someone I gel with. Not all experts are good at their jobs. Good luck with this!!! I truly believe finding a decent doctor is key to decent medical treatment.
@@Sarappreciates I do not have the luxury of 'changing doctors'. As it is, with my shit insurance, I have to travel 75 miles one way to even a poor one. I do a lot of alternative medicine because I have bad reactions to pharmaceuticals, and while I suggest things to other people, I also tell them it works for me, but may not work for them, and they should check for any drug interactions, and talk to their doc if they can, if they have one. Sorry to hear about the cancer. Lost both parents to cancer, and several others.
What she doesn’t understand is that cancer can run deep or spread elsewhere. My mom had a piece of cancer they had to remove several layers. This was on her face and the dermatologist said it was hereditary. I bet this lady understands this now.
I was abroad and got an ear infection where they put black salve in my ear. I have some damage because of the ear infection and I suspect the salve.
That doctor did INCREDIBLE
Is the salve the same as PRID? My mother in law had some, she use to be a nurse, and she claimed it would help my boil drain. It only hurt to put it on. For me, pain = bad treatment. So I washed it off and never put it on again. I just kept using warm compress and manuka honey and neosporin. It drained and healed up well.
Bless these doctors fir even taking her case. I cannot believe she did what she did. I mean… has she eventually treated her skin cancer PROPERLY?!!
She did treat the cancer. It’s gone. Along with nose cartilage.
@@k.hendrickson8735 This is what I was going to say. She got rid of the cancerous cells, along with a lot of healthy tissue.
My father swore by this stuff. He had a large mole on his neck that he put black salve on. Sure enough it fell off in about a week. He had no scarring or problems. I have that same mole in the same place but mine has never grown as large as his
That to me was legit scary:( and i also just can't understand why this is still allowed to be sold.
I don't know that it's legal to be manufactured in the US, so people buy it online from other countries, with no idea what is really in it.
Yea some things arent produced under the eu regulations but you can basicly buy anything you want on the internet.
@@lugaruna Seems a lot of the black salve is coming out of South America.
What worries me is that she doesn't seem to think it's a bad idea to put unknown substance on her face
Nor believes cancer is something very serious so better let an actual medical doctor deal with it
Is this the same as Ichthammol ointment? My Granny used this in 1920's to treat carbuncles on my Daddy. It was called black salve or the drawing salve.
That’s what I’m wondering.
No, that's smelly black ointment that's good for boils and such, and you can get it from the drug store. This black salve is different, and destroys the tissue it touches. The only thing they have in common is the color.
@@FirstLast-vy6rn ,thank you
@@FirstLast-vy6rn Thanks. I’m wondering where they got this mysterious salve because it surely cannot be legal in the USA. It sounds like it has acid in it!😬
Im still trying to figure out how my grandmother-in-law used black salve to cure her melanoma and not have bad scaring afterward. She may have mixed in other plants with it or used a better preparation method. I wish I knew.
The answer is: she used it properly, the way most people do. Most people have good outcomes with it but you have to use it properly and you have to get the salve from a highly recommended source.
The pedicle flap blew my mind 🤯 modern medicine and the symphony that is the human body are incredible!
The crazy thing is that forehead flaps were invented in like the 3rd century by Sushruta, an indian doctor. Not sure if it was ever performed tho
best way to avoid a small surgery is melt your nose then have 2 other bigger surgeries 🤔🤔🤔
I had a tiny melanoma mole on my neck, my surgery was $4,800 the roots went all the way down to my spine and had to be dug out. I was left with a 4” horrendous scar. I have a new mole now 6” from where the last one was that looks bad as well. I don’t have to money to have it removed. I can see how someone would feel the need to remove it themselves.
Exactly. It's not cheap to get treatment.
Look, Jay, the fact that the first mole had ROOTS?
Stop messing around. If you can’t get insurance, go get on aid or something and don’t delay in removing that mole. Why no insurance?
@@True2U08 > WITH INSURANCE you would have a small co-pay. Maybe a little deductible also. If you are young, insurance isn’t even expensive.
Still, would you rather rot your spine?
I can't believe that someone tried to treat cancer with DIY home remedies. Cancer is not the same thing as a common cold.
unfortunately, I have no trouble at all believing it.
Is PRID drawing salve the same thing as this? After my doctor kept dismissing the cysts I get in my uterus area as well as the Bartholin glands, I took matters into my own hands when a bartholin cyst became unbearable. I bought PRID and it drained the cyst within a day. The relief I felt made me cry... my partner has also used it because she has crohns and had a big cyst on her butthole (lol sorry tmi) and it worked like a charm. Her doctor also dismisses her and tells her that crohns isn't a big deal and that she needs to toughen up :(
Obviously, I don't want to use something that will harm us so I'm wondering if PRID is the same thing as this? The medical doctors here will not listen to us or answer our questions seriously, it's exhausting.
Idk what PRID is but if your partner has a doctor who says crohns isn't a big deal, she should find another doctor immediately. Crohns needs to be treated well, consistently, to prevent as much permanent damage as possible.
@@orangew3988 we did eventually get reffered to a specialist that helps and gave her a needle to take every week. But that took years of pleading with her GP who insisted it was just period pain -_-
Sounds like you both need new doctors. I don’t think any doctor should be telling a patient to “toughen up”
Don’t know WTH PRID is, but you darn sure need to find a new doctor.
“Doctor’s are like a box of chocolates…”
I doubt it’s the same thing, or else they wouldn’t be selling it at Walmart. Black salve is frequently made with bloodroot (RED FLAG NUMBER ONE!), and its juice is literally poisonous. It EATS living tissue when applied. Never, ever use it. Just research everything that you use and make sure it’s safe.
She is like, i dont trust doctors, i dont want surgery, so now i have to have these two insane surgeries, and probably is spending way more time in doctors offices and hospitals!!
Why is he re-uploading old videos? Seems such low effort.
I thought I'd seen this before, thanks for saying
Probably for people like me who just started following and haven’t seen these older videos
I'm not sure, but I think he might be uploading all his reaction videos on this channel cuz it's a reaction channel. though, I do think it's better to only upload new reaction vids to this channel
I was actually wondering if this is a legit YT channel! It’s a new one anyhow 🤔
Yt takes things down a lot, he probably had to reupload it
My little brother was born with no cartridge in his nose. They would probably fix it for him at no cost, but it hasn't bothered him, and refused to have the surgery and he's like 43 now.
Well, my dog has no nose. How does he smell, you ask?? Awful!!
Hi Dr. Youn. Have you heard of a specific brand of Japanese pear juice drink that is said to not cure but remove cancerous cells from the body? The topic of this video just reminded me of that.
sounds idiotic to me
Pears are sugar (fructose) + water + fiber + few minor vitamins. They’re Delicious and good for digestion - but that’s all. Someone was pulling your leg.
@@k.hendrickson8735 I know someone with stage 4 skins cancers that was recently told by a naturopath that drinking pineapple juice and ginger extract would cure his cancer. Tried to point out that if that was the case no one would have cancer.
@@LoveratLoves
That naturopath is trying to pull their leg.
Sorry not sorry, but this lady is certifiably crazy. The "I read one blog post -- I'm a doctor now!" meme was *so* appropriate here.
What is with people removing their own cancer? Do ppl even know what causes cancer? What cancer is? May natural selection help these poor people
Why didn't she take homeopathic medicine to fix the missing bits?
Because homeopathy is nonsense!!
You realize that 25-30yrs ago you could go to a pharmacy and get actual medical grade black salve, it worked great, stinks but works,, currently there is 50 knockoff versions so its sketchy nowadays
How could she have gone to sleep and woken up with half her nose missing, without waking up from pain? Does the body not produce any pain signals while this paste is eating it's way through the tissue? I reckon it should hurt like hell!?!
I thought the title said black slave and was real confused for a while-
she has money for all that plastic surgery but didn't use it to get her cancer treated. wow.
so is no one going to address the elephant in the room? these people did something incredibly stupid and harmful, but they did it out of desperation, because being hospitalized and going under the knife is incredibly expensive in the u.s.. there are people who work hard all their lives, then they get cancer and have to sell their homes to afford the cures.
Guys I think we know what happened to Voldemort…😂
Synop: Doctor recommends seeing a doctor. Instills fear. Shows extremes cases.
You are a dr? You might actually try some on a spot that has no suspicious skin. It does nothing if the skin is not abnormal. You are decidedly not for holistic options if this video represents your research.
Skin cancer is certainly NOT a DIY project ... 🤔‼️
She tried to remove the cancer herself, not realising that it was in fact HER that is cancerous. What a terrible person lol
