Howard's story

"I am not only the founder of AK Botanicals, but I am a happy user. I was diagnosed with squamous carcinoma on my leg by my dermatologist, and I said to him, before you remove the cancer surgically, I'd like to use an ointment on my lesion.

I put the ointment on three days in a row, just like the instructions say. It caused an ashier to form a scab. Fell off, healed perfectly. I went back to the dermatologist two weeks later, and I said, how do I know that I don't have a squamous carcinoma?

He says, we have to do another biopsy. I said, fine, do another biopsy. He did so, and as a result, the doctor told me I was diagnosed with a scar on my leg resulting from the biopsies. I am not only the founder of the company, I am a happy customer as well."
