For the last two years, my Mom has had a red spot on her cheek that flares up and then grows a bit. That cycle has kept going until it finally formed a lump. Took her to the dr and they did a biopsy. It is cancer. She did not want to do anything about it and we have truly argued for the last six months while I watch this thing grow. A bit more than a week ago, I finally started putting the silver on it and insisting she do it 3 times each day. She has been faithfully putting it on and this thing is dying! It rose up into a thick mass and about day 5 it popped its top that was about the size of a nickel. Now the silver is getting deep into the growth and it is shrinking at a fast pace. The entire thing is down to about the size of a dime now and thinning as each day goes by. I am not sure her skin will ever loose the color of the silver (!) but that is much better than what was there. I am still in praying mode that this totally heals Mom but it sure is looking good. We are using the 5000 strength silver.
