Ren had sent an email saying the old time treatment
for colds and just about everything was 'sulphur and
treacle'.
I thought treacle meant something like syrup so looked
it up as;
trea·cle (trkl) n.
Cloying speech or sentiment.
Chiefly British. Molasses.
A medicinal compound formerly used as an antidote for
poison.
I was talking with my mother and she said she didn't
know about this 'treacle' business but a long time
ago, when she was a girl and much earlier, people used
to mix sulphur and molasses to treat colds, flu and
just about anything. She said it wasn't heated, just
about a teaspoon of sulphur mixed with molasses and
spoon fed to the sick person.
A few years ago, she told me her father had a cancer
on his nose that was growing. A lady came to our
hometown of Childress and rented a house where she
treated people with a white paste and an electrical
machine. She was a little girl at that time (early
30's) but she remembers the lady applied this white
paste to her dads cancer on his nose, he left it a
couple of days, it dried out and the cancer fell off
leaving pink skin behind.

In yet another side discussion, a fellow showed us a
pink mark on his ear and about a 2" rough circle on
his chest which was healing...he said it was skin
cancer...he used something called 'Big C'
(Cansema)which claims to be a highly negatively
charged potassium compound...when put on a skin
cancer, it burns for a bit, but within a couple of
days, the cancer scabs over and eventually falls off,
leaving new pink skin....it was totally amazing to see
the result....I plan on getting some of this for my
brother, who has a mild case of skin cancer...
-----------------------
Mom was talking to a mutual lady friend of the family
of many years and they were reminiscing about old time
treatments including the white paste story, when this
lady friend said one of her relatives also went to
that same lady who told her mother that the paste was
'alum' but she didn't hear if there was anything else
mixed with it. That was new to me.
I thought that was an interesting comment since alum
causes one to 'pucker', like with a tart candy. It
also reminded me of Ed's story about a white paste
that was supposed to use potassium to remove skin
cancers. It is recounted at;

Some additional hunting on the web about using alum
with the body;
---------------------------
http://edgarcayce.org/readings/5057/
Prepare this also in a fusion: Put 1/4 oz. of alum
root in 4 oz. of distilled water and let come to a
boil, then strain. Be sure the alum root is crushed.
Add to this, 1/2 oz. of simple syrup and take 1 oz. of
grain alcohol or rye whiskey and add. This is only to
be taken, 1 tsp. when there is cramping through the
alimentary canal or colon. [See GDT's memo 3/12/68
under 5057-1, Par. R8.]
3/07/68 Mr. Sylvester H. Cain's letter to A.R.E.:
"...In the Circulating File on colitis 'Alum Root' is
mentioned but when I ordered it from Meredith's Drug
Store they told me that was a 'misnoma' [misnomer];
can you define it for me and tell me where I can get
it? Thank you..."
3/12/68 Memo from GDT, Secretary of A.R.E.: The Xerox
copy below is made of a definition in a very old
medical dictionary [Gould's Medical Dictionary;
Copyright 1916, revised ed., by P. Blakiston's Son &
Co.]. I find that alumroot is an herb and not a
chemical, and should not be confused with the other
just plain 'alum' references in the Edgar Cayce
readings.
[Sections from the dictionary:]
"alumroot. The root of Heuchera americana. Its
properties are due to gallic and tannic acids. It is
very astringent. Dose of the fluid extract 10 - 20
min. (0.65 - 1.3 cc). Also the root of Geranium
maculatum, a mild astringent."

In the conditions in the physical forces of the body,
[348] - these, we find, are GRADUALLY gaining in
strength. While there are tendencies of the reversing
to the impulses of old conditions, these - as we find
- are rather impulses THAN of specific causes. Those
properties as have been given, as to change the
vibratory forces of the body - or just to have small
quantity of the alum root and to occasionally nibble
or chew a small quantity - will be found to be most
helpful. [As given in 348-8 on 9/24/30, prior to
emergency surgery. See 348-10, Par. 5-A.]
Do not over eat. These may not be as building in
tissue as is desired, but it is building in vitality.
Don't get fat too fast! In the strength of the
muscular forces of the body, necessary that IRON be a
vital element in the proper replenishing of system.
Make a habit of eating at least two pears every day,
and of citrus fruits - not too much of the oranges;
more of the lemon and grapefruit - but in apples,
beware. The fruits are well, but only those that will
furnish lots of IRON - and especially of that
NECESSARY element in recuperative forces of
phosphorus, which comes - and will be found MOST - in
conch soup.
(Q) What is conch soup?
(A) Soup made from the conch!
(Q) Is it advisable to eat fish, oysters, or shell
fish?
(A) The conch is shell, and this alone we would use in
any quantity. Won't like it at first, but it will be
well when this is taken as a carrier for that
necessary amount of phosphorus in the system. It will
change the vibratory forces of the body - but don't
leave out the alum root, for this will be necessary to
change the vibrations and impulses of the body. Do
that.
---------------------------
Oddly enough, my mother has always said she thinks a
lot of todays health problems come from eating from
aluminum cooking pans, because people used mostly cast
iron and copper a long time ago.
Another Cayce comment;
http://members.spree.com/sparky/treasure.htm
- (Do not use aluminum cookware.)
- diarrhea due to overactivity of the lymph
circulation through the alimentary canal may be
lessened by alum root, heuchera americana.
- Alum root also relieves tight muscles

http://plants.montara.com/ListPages/FamPages/Saxifraga.html#heumic
This plant likes to grow in crevices and in wet rocky
areas - hence it's other common names of Crevice
Huechera and Mountain Saxafrage. The dried flower
stems are a familiar sight in late summer and fall.
The root and leaves of Alum Plant are high in tanin
content, and are used in herbal remedies as an
astringent. The powdered root is good for shaving
nicks, I hear, and dried leaves or root slices added
to pickling keeps fruits and vegetables crisp and
colorful. Really!
--------------------------------
The point with all this is showing that alum could
well 'shrink tissue' such as cancer. I don't quite
get the potassium link with the Cancema paste.
---------------------------
provides list of foods rich in potassium and indicates
cancer cannot grow in potassium;
http://www.earthsense-international.org.uk/potassium.htm
Through our Research at Earthsense, into Cancer and
its cause and potential herbal cure, we have found
that Cancer cells cannot multiply in Potassium,
therefore we recommend that those suffering from
Cancer should ensure that they have a daily intake of
a minimum of 1,000mg of Potassium through Potassium
rich foods. We have researched a list of foods rich in
Potassium which will enable those with Cancer to know
which foods are rich in Potassium.
----------------------------
http://www.healthy.net/library/books/options/gerson.htm
Another major feature of the Gerson therapy is
restoring the balance of potassium and sodium in the
body.
Dr. Gerson maintained that cancer alters the body's
normal sodium-to-potassium balance, already disturbed
by the modern oversalted diet.
Liver, brain, and muscle cells normally have much
higher levels of potassium than of sodium, but in
cancer patients, observed Gerson, the ratio is
reversed.
The Gerson therapy aims to remove as much sodium from
the cancer patient's body as possible, replacing it
with potassium. The diet stresses foods rich in
potassium and low in sodium, with no salt added.
In addition, patients receive a potassium solution,
added to juices ten times daily. Edema, or fluid
retention, caused by an excess of sodium, reportedly
disappears with great frequency when patients ingest
high amounts of potassium in juices. Restoring
potassium levels to normal in the major organs of
severely ill patients can take a year or two.
Gerson's emphasis on restoring the potassium balance
in cancer patients finds considerable support in
modern research.
----------------------------
That should be enough to show a definite possibility
for a paste made from alum and potassium which would
kill the growth of skin cancer AND shrink the tissues.
