Cancer

Cancer covers a wide-ranging series of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled development of cells that have the ability to invade tissues of the human body. Cancer is the lead cause of death in developed nations. Although cancers have a genetic component, many are associated with environmental causes. These include tobacco, excessive alcohol, obesity, too much bright light, UV exposure, radiation exposure, and specific persistent organic pollutants. The reduction of certain cancers can be helped by removal of the pollutants and education of the public (e.g. teen smokers) on the dangers as well as control of advertising and product development (e.g. asbestos board).

I know of a cure for some cancers. I am 65 years old and would like to give the world something before I die.
Please don't laugh at this. My grandfather had a 3rd grade education, knew nothing about acids. He was given this formula by three men who came to him in his bedroom in the middle of the nite and then were gone. It has been used on several people with skin cancer and worked on all but two people, he had charged them for the salve. (It would not work if you charged for it.) Please see that the proper people get this and try it.
Thank you for your time

10 drops carbolic acid (these acids were liquid but now are crystal)
10 drops salicylic acid
20 drops canphor
1 8oz jar of petrolium jelly
10 drops emu oil (in the past he used kerosene)
mix together and use once a day on the infected sight
