From what I have been reading, physicians do use a form of this, bloodroot mixed with zinc oxide. The zinc oxide is what is so corrosive, The original remedy has been around for centuries. I'm definitely all for alternative and natural medicine. If you watch tv at all, you already know what

Hi,Black salve (Neoplasene) isn't quackery. However it must be used with caution on a cat. I would strongly encourage anyone wishing to use it to join the Yahoo group -http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/TheBlackSalveNeoplaseneCancerForum/?yguid=323115008 It is a group with valuable
