Homeopathy Treatment for Cancer
What happens to the body in Cancer?
The abnormal (cancerous) cells divide uncontrollably in the body and have the ability to break into (infiltrate) and destroy the normal body tissue. These abnormal cells can then start spreading throughout the body (metastasis) at a
later stage. The problem occurs because the normal body tissues cannot get enough resources to survive due to the consumption of these resources by the cancerous cells.
What causes Cancer?
Cancer is triggered by 'mutation' in the DNA of the cells of the body. A mutation is a damaging change that has occurred in the DNA. DNA of the cells is like an 'informative set of instructions about growth and division’. When this gets damaged (mutated), the cells have no proper instructions on how to grow and divide, so they start growing haphazardly and multiplying in a chaotic manner. This causes the onset of what is called ‘cancer’. Now this mutation can be caused due to 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
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 these medicines are not without any 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 there can be effective pain control without inducing any 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. The treatment may induce additional irritability, impatience, and mood fluctuations. Homeopathy can influence the psyche of the patient and help him to deal with these emotions in a better way.
05 Homeopathic medicines may also have a role to play in controlling the pace at which the disease increases and spread the disease 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. It must be remembered that homeopathy is not a substitute or alternative for conventional medication or surgery wherever these are indicated. Needless to say, Homeopathic treatment is without any side effects whatsoever.
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.
