Smelling like a vegetable

My husband commented the other day, "You smell like a vegetable." Not the most romantic observation, but probably appropriate concerning the consistent smell of vinegar on me and in the discarded applicators in our bathroom. Regardless, I hope and pray that the Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) solution of five applications per day to the sites on my face and hand is working and that the Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and Actinic Keratosis (AK) are shrinking.

Day 8 - At this point, the area on my face where the BCC exists is becoming very dry and crusty (photos below), so I used Mary Kay Microdermabrasion (http://www.marykay.com/katesansom/en-US/Pages/default.aspx?lcov=1) from Kate Sansom, and it seemed to smooth it out a bit. I intend to use it on the site every other day until the end of the procedure.

A few notes to include on the process:
1) I have revised my ACV application to using a Q-tip instead of a cotton ball. The cotton ball uses so much, yet does not seep much onto the skin.
2) I spent some time at a community pool on Saturday afternoon. While I started out with 50 spf sunscreen and band-aids and sunglasses, all were washed off or taken off by then end of the two hour period during which I was in and out of the sun and a chlorinated pool.
3) About twice a day, possibly morning and evening, the spot is covered with some sort of lotion, whether a sunscreen or a night cream.
3) As a part of the "healing" quest, I am seeing a chiropractor, (http://drlewisbeecave.com/), exercising daily, and trying to be as healthy an eater as possible. This includes reduced sugars, meat and refined carbs. I will admit that I have not been "perfect" in my quest, although I have certainly cleaned up my act, eating tiny tomatoes and organic spinach sauteed in olive oil and organic chicken served over mushrooms, onions, white wine and rice for dinner, and vegetarian enchiladas for lunch.
4) My skin care includes the awesome skincare line. Nerium, (http://nerium.com/shop/ammoforskin), which is a botanical recipe, originally formulated to address cancer, that brings out the impurities to heal your skin.

Three weeks left - to a homeopathic solution to BCCs and AKs.
