DERMATEND RECEIVED A LINK TO THIS BLOG TODAY. WOW... Here is the blog:



Just completed a research project on mole removal. I thought I would share some of the information with you.

There are basically two choices in mole removal. Visit your doctor and go with his recommendation, or experiment in the realm of homeopathic/natural remedies.

I will not argue with whatever your doctor tells you. I will advise you to seek different opinions and to consider a visit to both a dermatologist as well as a plastic surgeon; Only after you hear from both would we advise making a decision.

My investigation into natural cures was definitely more gray area. Regardless of which natural remedy you are drawn to, please, clear it with your doctor before trying it. There are a number of natural remedies, garlic, hydrogen peroxide, duct tape (I do not know how natural I would consider that), as well as a few products that are available via the internet. The most common ingredient was bloodroot paste. Bloodroot paste, black salve and oils have traditionally been used for as an alternative health protocol on skin moles, skin tags, warts and on ring worm, eczema psoriasis etc. But there was too much conflicting information to make much out of it.The top two products are DermaTend and Wart & Mole Vanish. We contact both and asked for a sample of their product. DermaTend did not respond at all. We did immediately receive a phone call from a rep at Wart & Mole Vanish. Our conclusions, strictly opinion, are that the DermaTend may be worth a try, the other, probably a scam.

Our reasoning is as follows.

DermaTend did not respond to our request, as disappointing as that is, it also reassures me that the product is selling well and they have no need to push product. It sells itself, as it should be. We also found that the product is popular and testimonials come from more reputable sources. This does not mean it is not a scam, but would be worth checking out if homeopathic is the route you wish to go.

The other product, (MOLE WART VANISH) I would advise against. It was nice to receive a response, but the rep was interested in Mindscapes page rank, was it high enough, (apparently not) and wanting to know if the free sample given to us would lead to a purchase. When we explained it may or may not, it depends on the results of our experiment as well as our clients personal choice, we received no sample. The rep was also unwilling to give us a yes or no answer regarding the free sample, he left things with ... can check your mail and see what we decide. The last and largest red flag is just the name. A wart and a mole are very different things. How can one product effectively work on both? We read about different products working on skin tags, warts, jock itch, hemorrhoids. Scary!!!

All of the above sent up red flags for us. If the product is good, it is not in the first pages of a Google search, you should be willing to put it to the test. We found the unwillingness to stand behind a product unless there is a sure sale would worrisome. It should also be noted that during the phone call further information was promised us via email and it was never received. Again, if you made the initial call to us, why no follow thru? Red flag. OUr largest red flag, the website tells us the ingredients, which include Anacardium occidentale, which is cashew. We searched the site and found not one tree nut warning. I asked the rep and got a schpeel about how there ahve been no complains or documented reactions from the product. Considering that food allergies are life threatening, we were repulsed by the casual dismissal of our concern.

In conclusion, we recommend a Medical doctor. If natural intrigues you, beware, burns and infections were commonplace. Research on your own and find the best solution for you. DermaTend is a good place to start. Things to consider, size, location on your body, time frame for removal, pain level, as well as ease product use. And as always, Mindscapes is not recommending anything other that medical Doctor and further research. There are many scams out there and without a doctor, well, you are on your own. Research, research, research!! I would advise speaking with your doctor about and homeopathic remedies you would like to try before you try them.
