I ran to walmart today and picked up some USP Castor Oil and a box of 500g Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. I didn't know what the exact proportions were but was told that it should be a gum type viscosity. I stored the paste in a plastic film container.
I plan on applying the paste 2-3 times a day on my days off and once before bed on work days since I won't have time to apply throughout the day.
Since I've seen a few smaller moles pop up over last year I researched more on it and read that new moles are caused by a potassium deficiency, a nurse told me the same thing when she saw the white dots on my finger nails.
Thus I am going to start taking:
-1 tablespoon of 5% apple cider vinegar a day (This stuff is horrid but has loads of potassium)
-1 Vitamin E Pill in the morning
-1 Potassium Pill in the morning
-Multivitamin
Day 1 - Sunday, January 06 , 2008
Scratched the round black moles (slightly raised) on my neck with one end of a pair of scissors and then applied the castor/baking soda paste on about 5-6 of them. The area became quite red. I also did the same thing to about 4-5 very small flat tan-ish brown moles on the side of my face.
20-25 minutes later the moles on my neck sting and are a little swollen; there is also a small round ring of redness around each one. The small flat moles on the side of my head however do not sting and are not very red. I will try to scratch them harder and re-apply the paste.
Update: I made sure to scratch a little harder this time on the flat moles on the side of my face and re-applied paste, did the same thing to the ones on my neck. It burns,
A LOT now. Its almost unbearable, but I hope this is a sign that it's working!
No noticeable differences to the moles yet!
Update: While I was reading online a strange idea popped into my head. I decided to head into the kitchen and grab the bottle of Apple cider vinegar I had used a couple months ago. I decided to grab an ear swab and dip it into the ACV and then dab it onto the moles I had applied the paste to.
Instantly on contact the ACV started bubbling and fizzing. I applied decided to do this to all the moles I applied the paste to. And they all bubbled and fizzed once in contact with the apple cider vinegar.
A side note I noticed it stung really bad once I put it on there. Well anyway I hope this was significant and I still don't know why I decided to do that but I hope it helps.
I have one more treatment of paste left before bed so this is the last update for today.
Day 2 - Monday, January 07 , 2008
Well I woke up this morning and checked everything out and I can kind of see some of the moles are indeed very slightly smaller; but nothing real significant. They are a lot darker to. This is a work day for me so I won't be doing 3 treatments per day until the weekend. Only 1 treatment before bed.
Another side note that the redness around the moles has gone down a little , but there is still a small ring of red around each of the moles around my neck and side of my face. It is kind of noticeable but who cares, I'd rather look bad for a couple of weeks than still have these on my face for many more years.
I thought about putting some ACV on them before I left but if anyone doesn't know its some strong smelling liquid so I decided not to.
Day 2 - Tuesday, January 08 , 2008
Woke up this morning and found most of the castor oil/baking soda had rubbed off on the pillow I was sleeping on. I can't really where bandaids over them because I basically have the oil all over one side of my neck so I just left it open.
Came home after work today and applied more paste. Some of the moles seem to be kind of dried out when I feel them, like they are flatter. Some of them are maybe a little darker as well.
But no completley noticeable changes for the good, the side of my face and neck still looks inflamed in red sometime even after the paste is off. I guess this indicates that it may be doing its job.
