This is my favorite video. Its straight out of the doctors mouth that successfully uses it and and uses it sucessfully. There is a lot of positive information in that video and also if you follow the link in the description for more information there are other doctors backing up exactly what he says. So we have multipule doctors that are using the benifits of zinc chloride to successfully kill and cure melanoma. He says its a paste that penetrates into the skin and kills cancer. He doesnt mention it being a caustic substance equivelent to battery acid wich so many people like to come to this page and say, it is nothing like battery acid. He also states that it works like a vaccine stimulating total body immunity and resistance to any further growth of the melanoma.

He goes on to talk about Dr Frederic E Mohs, the very doctor that developed the surgery that hundreds of thousands of people have preformed each and every year. Lets have a look at how Dr Mohs developed Mohs surgery. He started applying a paste made from Zinc chloride and bloodroot (the root of the plant Sanguinaria canadensis, which contains the alkaloid sanguinarine). The original ingredients were 40.0 gm Stibnite, 10.0 gm Sanguinaria canadensis, and 34.5 ml of saturated zinc chloride solution. The paste would be left on overnight and then the next day Dr Mohs would anesthetized, surgically removed, examined under a microscope and if any signs of cancer remained then the whole process was repeated again and again till there was no cancer present in the removed tissue. With out the escharotic he would not have been able to expose all the cancer and know how far of a wide excision he needed to preform to remove all the cancerous tissue.

I have read many articles, some suggesting that because Dr Mohs was a surgeon and he did not want to wait for the natural sloughing off of the now dead cancer tissue to naturally expell and slough off by its self that is the reason why he excised the tissue. Dr Mohs used escharotics for 30 years. "30 years" one does not use something for 30 years unless it is working.

I love Dr. Norman Brooks answer when asked why there are no studies or research on this area of medicine. It consists of natural substance, and no-one can own it. Randomized trails would cost a MINIMUM of 100 million dollars, and at the end you will own nothing. This is repeated by another doctor also

"Mohs paste is a tried and true compound that does what it's purported to do," said Dr. Kenneth Gross.
"The first patient I [used the paste on] developed a sentinel node that was swollen and large, and I thought it was a metastatic, but it turned out to be clearly an immune response. On the flip side – I don't paste everyone. But if I have a high-risk patient who is well balanced and capable of understanding the implications, I do offer to paste them."
It is important to get informed consent and explain that zinc chloride is not an approved therapy; however, assure the patient it will not interfere with any other therapy they might want to pursue. Consider reserving it for high-risk patients, many of whom have melanoma that extends to the bone. "If you do your Mohs down to the periosteum and want to know if the bone is clear, you can paste it and a day or so later the bone will decalcify and a little chip will come out and you can examine that."
Mohs paste has fallen out of use over the years as fresh-tissue surgery has gained popularity. "Fresh-tissue replaced it because it allows immediate closure, while the paste causes a lot of inflammation and, the way Dr. Mohs did it, it left a wound that healed by secondary intention. It heals well but people won’t stand for that these days." Younger physicians, he said, "want to use what’s new, and what they were taught to use."
For many years, Dr. Mohs got the paste from just one pharmacist, who retired long ago. "Then there was just no reliable place to get the stuff. But recently we've been able to work with Delasco, [a medical supply company] that can compound it very reliably. It's cheap and a small amount will last virtually forever at room temperature."
Because Mohs paste is composed of natural ingredients and has been in use for so long, it is an unpatentable therapy. Therefore, it will probably always remain on the fringes of medicine.
"You will never find any large head-to-head studies with other therapies, and no pharmaceutical company is ever going to research it. It would cost millions of dollars to do the kind of studies you’d need to get approval and then what would you have at the end? Nothing you could make money off of. So it won't happen."
Aside from some slight discomfort and the inflammatory reaction, however, there are few down sides to using the paste. "If you look at it from a perspective of what can I do that won't hurt my patients, probably helps them, and won’t interfere with definitive, modern therapy, I would say Mohs paste is a shining example."
Kenneth Gross, M.D., was a course director at the meeting, and is a surgical dermatologist in San Diego. He reported having no relevant conflicts of interest.

Also I wanted to include a link to one of Dr Mohs medical papers wich discusses the ecsharotic he used wich included "zinc chloride" very interesting stuff. well worth reading http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2344830.html
