Homeopathy Can Help People With Cancer
Today I want to share a case study with you.
A is a 55 year old woman and was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. She had a mastectomy and two months of radiotherapy. She then started a course of Tamoxiphen and steroids for the next 2 years. During this time she also transformed her lifestyle, retiring from a (very) senior position in a pharmaceutical company, becoming vegan, green juicing regularly, oxygen therapy, taking up yoga and meditation.
The cancer stayed in remission for this time, but then she experienced a huge stress in her personal life and the cancer returned (this is fairly common). Unfortunately It had now spread and was now prevalent in her liver. She turned very yellow, the bilirubin level in her blood was 'through the roof', as were her cancer markers. She was going downhill fast and had to be put on a cocktail of chemotherapy drugs.
So a month ago she comes to me. No longer so yellow, her liver cancer somewhat under control, but with very low energy levels, MASSIVE water retention, chronic constipation, and still on the cocktail of drugs. She wondered if homeopathy could do anything for her.
Truthfully I had to say that I've only treated one cancer patient before ....my mother's dog! However, it was a success the (terminally ill) dog recovered and lived for another 5 years before dying of old age. I had to 'lay my cards on the table', but she trusted that I could help because of my reputation with treating autistic children.
So what on earth could I do? No point detoxing, she was still on chemo drugs. I decided to begin simply, with a herbal combination to help with the drainage of her lymphatic system. I had her take:
- Hydrastis / Galium Aparine / Condurango 3 times a day.
In addition I gave her carcinosin 30c and cortisone 12c.
This week I got to find out what happened. I was confronted by a lady grinning from ear-to-ear. Her 5kg of water retention has just gone. She's also much more energetic and positive about life. I'll take that as a good first result!
She's calling my herbal mixture my 'Magic Brush' (I had described it as 'scrubbing out' her lymphatics). She has stopped this round of chemo and we are awaiting her next test results to see how her liver is doing. I'm known now in her family as 'The Dog Guy' after my earlier confession, though they are coming around to my methods after seeing the dramatic improvement in A's health.
What's next?
We are going to systematically detox the chemo drugs she's been taking, continue the Magic Brush, and give Hydrastis 200c once-a-week. Once we have completed a few rounds of detoxes, I want to start a program based on the Bannerji protocol (an Indian homeopath with over 15,000 recorded cases of successful cancer treatment)
Watch this space.
My father struggled with lung cancer and lost the battle, I still believe the big pharma doesn't have any remedy for treatment of cancer ... they just are trying and testing various treatment and drugs.
We did try homoeopath medicines without asking the oncologist but once he gets to know about homoeopath meds, he started speaking ill about homoeopath science maybe we would have continued the meds!
But as they say, its all written and we are just puppets in the hand of gods. You say Bannerji, and I sadly never get across this name even searching for doctor in those tough times and I am an Indian. :)
Hi, I'm sorry to hear about your father @tanishqyeverma . No, big pharma can't cure cancer. Though SOME cancers are very treatable nowadays, for many others it's just a case of giving chemo & hoping for the best. Sorry you hadn't heard of the Bannerji's before. One reason I'm writing here is to raise awareness of homeopathy and the magic that it can do.
even if homoeopathy and ayurveda are not able to cure anything, they are still be better allopathy, at least they don't kill patients by side effects... and the fact is they are curing diseases :) ... ayurveda in fact, gives a boost to your immunity against different disease.. perfect anti-virus ... there is urgent need of the revival of both the sciences .. and I am glad that people are looking for them!
Nicely said & I agree 100%.
Do you understand how hard it is to treat cancer? Homeopathy is 100% garbage and anyone can prove it for themselves. True homeopathy with dilutions can never cure anything, nor can you suffer from an overdose.
Great case, Alan.
I'm taking notes re the tincture mixture you mentioned.
I was also working with a man recently who had final stage pancreatic cancer [as you know], and he had terrible, painful swelling [oedema] of the legs, genitalia and abdomen [this is common in late-stage pancreatic cancer]. Arsenicum 30c [homeopathic] was able to bring the swelling down where diuretic medications hadn't succeeded. It also helped with burning pain in his chest, acid reflux and his respiratory problems. His doctor also sat and watched as he took magnesium phos [CM homeopathic potency] for pain and clearly was relieved.
Many doctors are supportive of homeopathy, but there is a mythical expectation that homeopaths and doctors are opposed.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks @sallylloyd...yup this lady was on diuretics too, but they hadn't helped.
Can be very painful too. It was about lymphatics rather than kidneys for the man I was helping too.
What a story again. I love that sticking plant. My brother's wife even serves it as a dish. Where do you know that it is exactly the needed remedy? Did you try others before? Reading your blog, homeopathy looks so straight forward and easy to apply.
I am looking forward reading about your patient's further development.
Thank you. I studied, that's how I knew :) There are books called 'repertories' where you can look up specific symptoms and find the remedies that will help them.
I looked into some homeopathic books. It is still quite confusing. I guess finding the right remedy has to do with intuition as well.
It's the same as many things...it just takes practice. I try to write so the cases are easy to understand, but I've simplified the process of course. I don't think intuition is necessary, it is a rational system with a set of principles to follow.
Oh I've never tried eating it!

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49720123_Psorinum_Therapy_in_Treating_Stomach_Gall_Bladder_Pancreatic_and_Liver_Cancers_A_Prospective_Clinical_Study
I'm not impressed by this study. E.g. stomach cancer. They claim that due to Psorinum, the 5 year survival rate could be improved to 38.1%.
But! https://www.cancer.net/cancer-types/stomach-cancer/statistics say:
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/stomach-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/survival-rates.html:
So this study shows nothing, in the end most of the patients died of cancer.
Have a look at the outcomes for pancreatic cancer. You are picking and choosing here.
Why you make general statements? Here is a very concrete case.
The title makes very general statements that cannot let be uncommented.
As far as this case counts, homeopathy really helped. It is not said: cured people.
'Giving healing herbs is a criminal act' (says Big Pharma).
Claiming that they are healing without scientific (double blinded study) proof and seducing patients to stop taking drugs that have shown at least some evidance that they could help, is.
There are many layers to evidence based medicine. Studies are one of them. Clinical experience and patient preference are also important to take into consideration when coming up with the best treatment for someone.
When it comes to homeopathy you have to realize that a double blind placebo controlled trial is not the best way to study homeopathy. Unless you are able to find enough patients where that remedy is indicated and only study those people.
Why? Because homeopathy doesn't work by a biomedical mechanism. It works by a energetic mechanism that we don't fully understand with our materialistic worldview.
And this is a worldview issue for all the skeptics commenting here. If homeopathy works then you would likely have to change it. Which is why you ignore the millions of people who claim to have benefited from this modality and rather just read biased research done by people with the same worldview as yourself.
Homeopathy works when done properly. Deal with it.
Not sure, why @aggroed resteemed this.
I thought he had a degree in chemistry.
Maybe just part of his media competency training;)

The story is: lady with terrible water retention and side effects from chemo drugs gets obvious benefits from taking natural herbs. No-one is encouraging her to stop taking her drugs, nor did I state that, you're making a strawman argument. There's 10,000 years of evidence that herbs can heal. Please try to counter with an argument of your own based on the facts provided, rather than regurgitating 'the skeptics playbook', it's tiresome.
There is 20,000 years of evidance that chemo works better.
See, I can make up numbers, too.
There is no evidence your "magic brush" ( nice euphemism) did do any good
I'm not claiming 'evidence', I'm reporting a case study. I'm getting confused what you think this is. Do you think you are critiquing my scientific paper for inclusion in a peer-reviewed scientific journal? IT'S A CASE STUDY! Now, if you disbelieve my narrative, then there's no point in continuing the discussion. If you believe it, then either the herbs had an effect (and there is well-documented evidence that they are pharmacologically active and can help drain the lymphatic system), or they had no effect and it was just coincidence. You appear to believe the latter because 'science'. This is an irrational and illogical stance that you appear forced to take so that the case study doesn't threaten your belief-structure. I hope you can recognise this possibility.
There's 10,000 years evidence that herbs can heal? Really where is that 'evidence'? In 10,000 years of 80% infant mortality and dying in your 30s?
Hello new person :)
So no herbs have any medicinal benefit, is that your contention? A fascinating and provably wrong position to take.
No clean water, poor nutrition, no aseptic techniques at childbirth account for much of this 80% infant mortality rate you quote.
Am I threatening YOUR belief structure too? I must be a dangerous man :D
Please, don't flatter yourself. You're neither threatening or dangerous. You're just another band-wagon jumper who's decided to hop on board all the anti-science nonsense that's suddenly become so popular. Do you believe the earth is flat too?
I never said no herbs have any use. But any useful herbs have been actively incorperated into modern medicine. This is what evidence-based does! It'll use anything, but it has to work.
Even if basic sanitation can account for 80% improvements in infant mortality I doubt you want to be the person explaining to the other 20% why their child is dead. So yeah, I'll stick with my support for modern medicine because for me even if it's only a 16% of children that we keep alive with all our research and learning that's still worth it.
Ahh the arrogance of youth ... & the arrogance of a medical student! (a deadly combination).
I spend my day job attempting to correct the terrible harm that your more experienced colleagues cause to children, so please spare me your 'defender of the church of science' nonsense. As people used to say in my previous career as an engineer, before some newbie gets to have an opinion: 'get some time in.'
Nice try to try & paint me as an 'anti-science'/flat-earther. As they say, play the ball, not the man. You're not a 'defender of science', I'm not opposed to 'science'. It worries me that someone that will be qualified as a doctor some day is coming across as such a religious ideologue.
The story is: Homeopathy Can Help People With Cancer not homeopathy possibly helped a lady with severe water retention. That wouldn't make a great headline article though would it? Perhaps you may need to read further your list of logical fallacies.
Ha, hello other new person. So YOUR complaint is that my title is just too damn catchy? :)

A case study with 4 patients proves nothing.
But surely a study of 4 patients with really good, proven outcomes is worth some research funding? Why are the big bucks not heading this way? Because people are blinkered and won't pursue alternatives that have been shown to be potentially very promising. Indeed, they are suppressed and homeopaths are repeatedly attacked and maligned. That's not rationalism to my mind.
Edzard Ernst has made a living out of being a sham homeopath and then using his status as a homeopath to rubbish homeopathy [great niche!] Since when did he become an expert to of the standard required by those who recite "Peer reviewed double blind test, that is hard truth and rational, logical thinking" ?
If you really want to argue this, go take a look at the core hom database of endless peer-reviewed double-blind tests. Ah, yes! They are peer-reviewed [homeopath's peers are homeopaths so they don't count unless they are Edzard Ernst]. I can't see railing against something without an open mind as at all rational. There were skeptics who 'rationally' investigated homeopathy in the past. Dr. Hering was one, and he became a homeopath.

@sallylloyd I'd save my energy trying to prove anything or trade research results. I have experience with these types of posters before. They are arguing from an ideological position. It's like trying to used statistics to convince a die-hard communist that capitalism is a superior system. It doesn't matter how much evidence you present, or how convincing your arguments... you'll not change their minds. A much better use of your time would be listening to some good music in your pub:..
.
Hahahah
Indeed. That’s not a rational standpoint to be starting from so it seems ironic to be being told we need to be more rational. I think I’d hold the opposite standpoint as strongly but it is based on day-to-day experience of treating people with homeopathy and I’d trust my own eyes after a certain amount of time.
I was writing more for the open minded readers who are also here reading your post.
Pub sounds good tho!!!!
It’s actually not the pub but Mars Attacks and spag bol and Mia Yelling loudly at the gory bits 😂
I remember growing up...hearing about treks to Amazon, and Africa to research plants for health....paid for by big pharma. To bad no one remembers. Must be the drugs.
yes!
I believe the earth is abundant of natural healing resources. Now it's our mission to free those herbs from the system and let us heal each other.
yes.
Wa! So magical, your herbal combination helps the lady with breast cancer to have better quality quality of life! Your Bannerji protocol will definitely help more people in the future.
Thank you :)
So, she was cured with the help of the chemo.
Another big win for Science!
Did you read the article? The current chemo she is on has controlled some of the cancer symptoms. However, the oncologists have told her this is terminal cancer, there is no cure. I'm not quite sure how you've quickly get into this science/not science dichotomy, it's an error in thinking. Science is a method of enquiry, nothing more. Chemo: 'science', herbs: 'not science', that's religious thinking (the church of scientism) , it's not rational or logical.
1 case is not enough, it is a nice fairy tale, not more.
Peer reviewed double blind test, that is hard truth and rational, logical thinking.
Not enough for what? I'm not claiming 'truth'. It's labelled as a 'case study'. From patterns in many case studies we might start to build hypotheses to test our theories. Then people may design experiments to test if these hypotheses (derived from observations in case studies) are truth.
This is the inductive scientific process at work my friend. You have a ring side seat. Unfortunately I don't have several hundred million $, or a lab, to conduct these experiments you seek, I'm just a clinician. I see cases and try to record my results accurately. Perhaps, if you have the interest, you could petition any research institutes you might have contacts in to conduct these experiments for me. I'd be most grateful :)
In conclusion, case studies aren't 'fairytales', they are the substratum upon which scientific enquiry HAS to rest. An apple hit Newton on the head, lead him to propose his theory of gravity...inductive reasoning. Observe a case, create a model or hypothesis from it, test your hypothesis.
Beautiful case!
Wow, magic brush! Hope you get us updated on the result of her next investigations so we know how far your treatment has worked! Looking forward to your next update.... I pray she gets well soon.
Thank you :)
