Patrick Bradley’s letter (Mercury, July 23) is a classic example. Skin cancer is a gigantic industry on which millions are dependant as a career!  Yet the cure for skin cancer is readily available as a cream called “Black Salve’’ a liniment derived from the root of various  plants.

 As I have written many times, the ‘‘cures’’ are in nature. Simple. Of course Western medicine will try and discourage you by telling you it will make a big hole in your body but if used correctly it will simply remove the cancer and the wound will heal beautifully.  The same fearmongering is applied by Western medicine for many other natural alternatives as it bites into  absurd profits.
