Homeopathy Treatment for Cancer
What happens to the body in Cancer?
Abnormal (cancerous) cells divide uncontrollably and can break into (infiltrate) and destroy normal body tissue. These abnormal cells can then start spreading throughout the body (metastasis) at a
later stage. The problem occurs because normal body tissues don't get enough resources to survive because cancerous cells consume them.
What causes Cancer?
Cancer is triggered by a 'mutation' in the DNA of the cells of the body. A mutation is a damaging change in DNA. DNA of the cells is like an 'informative set of instructions about growth and division ’. When this gets damaged (mutated), the cells no longer have proper instructions on how to grow and divide, so they start growing haphazardly and multiplying chaotically. This causes the onset of what is called ‘cancer’. Now, this mutation can be caused by a number of factors such as:
- Genetic tendency (Family history of cancer)
- Virus (certain carcinogenic virus)
- Smoking
- Excessive drinking
- Being obese (overweight)
- Skin damage caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation
- Unsafe sexual contact (certain sexually transmitted viral infections)
- Certain harmful chemicals in the environment
- Some chronic health conditions such as Ulcerative colitis, Hepatitis C, etc can turn cancerous
These are just some of the many things that can trigger a mutation and initiate cancer in the body.
Homeopathic Treatment for Cancer
Homeopathy alone has not been proven to cure cancer. Homeopathy can provide supportive relief from symptoms when combined with conventional medicines.
The scope of Homeopathy for cancer management varies depending on the type of cancer, stage of cancer, and the general health of the patient. Following are some of the aspects of Cancer management with Homeopathy:
01 One of the most distressing complaints associated with some varieties of Cancer is the agonizing pain. Conventional medicines can provide pain relief, but only to a certain extent, and they are not without side effects. Moreover, there is always a restriction on the dosage that can be safely administered to the patient. The advantage of administering Homeopathic medicines in such cases is that they can provide effective pain control without causing side effects.
02 Homeopathy can help in improving the general well-being and vitality of the patient.
03 Conventional treatment options for cancer (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc) are associated with distressing side effects and homeopathy can play a definitive role in countering these side effects.
04 The diagnosis of cancer often leaves the patient with a sense of depression, anxiety, and fear. Treatment may also cause irritability, impatience, and mood fluctuations. Homeopathy can influence the patient's psyche and help him deal with these emotions better.
05 Homeopathic medicines may also have a role to play in controlling the pace at which the disease increases and spreads to other organs.
Homeopathic medicines can also be administered along with conventional medication, and thus they can fulfill their role as a complementary treatment for cancer management. Homeopathy is not a substitute or alternative to conventional medication or surgery when indicated. Needless to say, Homeopathic treatment has no side effects.
Dr. Shah's recent research using some of his new medicines has demonstrated anti-cancer effects in lab models. Please check the links:
a. HIV nosode produces anti-cancer effects (Therapeutic potential of HIV nosode 30c as evaluated in A549 lung cancer cells)
b. A homeopathic nosode, Hepatitis C 30 demonstrates an anticancer effect against liver cancer cells in vitro by modulating telomerase and topoisomerase II activities as also by promoting apoptosis via an intrinsic mitochondrial pathway.
