KathK starts with ... A friend has some skin cancers & is searching for Radium Weed http://blogs.abc.net.au/queensland/2009/05/milkweed-and-sk.html Have found places that sell the seeds & the plants -but of course, not to W.A. Does anybody (hopefully Perth/Mandurah area) have some growing they would be prepared to part with? It would be really appreciated & I can give you plants & farm fresh eggs in return. We have what we call 'milkweed' growing all over the place but it's nothing like this. Thanks.

sternus1 says... Erm I would be very careful about using bloodroot for the treatment of malignant skin cancers. What you have to understand is that this only reduces the cosmetic appearance of the mole, it does not remove or otherwise stymy cancerous cells. Bloodroot is ok to use for simple naevi and sun tags, but as an application for something like a kerastosis or melanoma it will do nothing at all. | About the Author sternus1 WHITESIDE,4503,QLD 25th November 2013 7:59pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

KathK says... Thanks for that info. He isn't intending to use bloodroot (hadn't heard of that so looked it up & it's a very different plant which as far as I can tell doesn't grow in Australia) He is using Euphorbia peplus (not Euphorbia peplis as that's completey different also) This grows wild here in W.A. http://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/4638 A good article to read if you're interested- http://www.radiumweed.com.au/#aboutus Doctors are now prescribing a very expensive gel called 'Picato -the active ingredient is 'Ingenol Mebutate' which is a derivative of the plant Euphorbia peplus. Have done quite a bit of searching & many people are getting excellent results. Also purchased this book for $4.50 in PDF format-it has a lot more info & references- http://www.beautanicals.com.au/booksales.html My friend has sun spots not malignant skin cancers-sorry, should have been more specific.

alicemk says... Hi Julie and KathK I was wondering if either of you had any radium plant (Euphorbia Peplus) growing at the moment, please? I believe it is an annual that grows during the wetter months, but with all this rain we have been having, am wondering if anyone has any growing, or knows of a source where I can get some now, please? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Alice | About the Author alicemk Forrestfield 2nd March 2017 10:30am #UserID: 15654 Posts: 2 View All alicemk's Edible Fruit Trees |

alicemk says... Thanks Julie. Really appreciate. Please don't try to transplant in this heat, but please if possible can you water it to try and keep it alive for now as I realise it is probably out of season at the moment and it is a miracle if you have found some. I have asked Daley's to send you my details and hope to hear from you soon.
