Homreopathy- Homreopathy impliesa particular way of applying drugs to dis-eases according to specific principle viz. ."Si milia Similibus Curentur... In a stricter

sense Homreopathy means a specialisedsystem of drug therapy...a complete systemof therapeutic medication". This method issupreme in its own sphere because it is amethod of therapeutic medication based ona fixed and a definite law of nature.

"The Homreopathic materia medica is agreat treasure. The picture as given in theprovings, presents not only the counterpartsof the already known natural diseases condi-tions to which nosological labels can beattached but also numerous clinical symp-tom-syndromes to match ~diseasescondition which is still unkno~or undiag-nosable as yet. Herein lies the distinctiveadvantage of Homreopathy".

Homreopathy is not opposed to surgery. or any other specialised branch of medicine.

Homreopathy be lives in the present daymethods of Scientific hygiene, sanitation,nutrition, laboratory techniques, psycholo-gical reaction of patients and prev~ntionand control of epidemic diseases. Homreo-pathy accepts all the modern method ofresearch and core late the findings of its ownresearch. All these knowledge a homreo-path accepts and learns. But from the pointof drug therapy the position of Homreo-pathy stands entirely different. Homreopathyhas every thing common with traditionalmedicine except in the mode of approachin the field of therapeutics".

Homoeopathy in Cancer*

The human behaviour towards diseases

is very interesting and peculiar. Some peopleare easily prone to affections of diseaseswhile others are not. Even during an epide-mic some people get affected quickly/someare not. Medical world will in an answer to

this phenomana raise the point of suscepti-

bility and powers of resistance. Gw if wego further to enquire that way a person issusceptible to certain diseases or conditionsand others are resistant then we find that

there is something beyond causation. Myfriends will term this as diathesis and saythat some are constitutionaly prediabetic,precancerus or of Tubercular diathesis.When the time. condition and circumstanceswill arise these people start manifestingsymptoms. These preconditions have beenanswered in Homreopathy as Psora, Syphi-lis and Sycosis, being the root cause of allailments. These are termed as miasms

which may be acquired or are passed thro-ugh ages through heriditery and thus thediathesis or preconditions or abnormal

sus~eptibility as may be termed is forme9This is very important for homreopathictreatment and will be discussed later. Ayur-veda has also a similar phylosophy oftridhatu i. e. Vatu, Pitta and Kafa and imba-lance in anyone or more of them will causedisease. Dr. Clerk has tried to find some

resemblance in the two phylosophies. Vatt(in Ayurved is very similar to psora in Hom-reopathy because both are related to nervesand higher sensations of life whereas thepitta is very similar to syphilis because bothof them relates to connective tissues rightfrom bone to blood and kafa is very similar

to sycosis because both relates the functionsof secretions of mucous membranes and

glands as also maintenance of tissue ten-sions. These philosophies are valuablesubjects for research because millions ofphysicians belonging to boththe systemshave conjugated the clinical verification of

them')

Cancer-Now let us come to the prob-lem of cancer, the mystry disease, the mostdivastating and horrifying of all diseases,

- baffling the best brains and their endevours, to find out an answer. It is said to be incre-

asing in a very fast rate and has killed manypeople in the last two decades probably the

- number be.ing more than the victimes ofworld war.

Cancer is a neoplasm which tends tokill a man.

J

Physicians and surgeons have tried tofind out cause or causes of this disease and

many theories have been put forward for.the solution.

0e Gene Theory: It is rightly said inthe text .book of pathology that. "There islittle doubt that heriditary influences rankhigh in importance among predisposingfactors. Even though the predisposition to

. cancer may be heriditory, Cancer will proba-bly not occur unless some carcinogenic

agent acts upon the predisposed tissue")Nowadays we often hear from our

colleagues that development of moles or. warts etc. are precancerous state which

might if care is not taken will develop in tofull fledged cancer.-

~ere lies the value of the miasmatictheory of Dr. Hahnemann. Miasms are cau-ses of all chronic diseases. The conditionremains latent and when raised by some

. external or internal influance will producethe symptoms of which the - cancers is

one~Congress on Cancer

Taking into account the predisposingfactor or so to say cancerous diathesis thecarcinogenic causes may be as follows.

Irritation Theory: Virchows irritationtheory still holds good and may be furtherdetailed likeextrinsic irritation and intrinsicirritation.

A) The extrinsic irritations are

1} Physical Agents: Ch. Irritation caused by

a} Caries teeth, b} Tobacco Chewingor smoking, c} Smoking hot Clay pipes,d} Constant heat on skin as Kangri Cancer.e} Chimney sweepers cancer by irritationskin by hot carbon particles, f} G. B.

The question of how the carcinogenichydrocarbons act upon normal cells toinduce malignancy is not at all clear butthere are some indications of a completechange from the aerobic to the anaerobictype of glycolysis taking place in the mata-bolism of the cell. Willmer has shown thatin freely growing normal embryonic tissuesin which the function of work is of course

secondary to that of growth -the reverse ofthe adult tissue -the energy is obtainedfrom the anaerobic glycolysis.

It may thus be imagined that conditionswhich restrict the oxygen supply of an adulttissue will send to enforce the use of anae-

robic glycolysis, Either the tissue will die,the more usual result or this matabolic cha-

nge will successfully accomplished in thecell leading to its proliferations.

Treatment: Now let us think aboutthe treatment of this so called most incura-ble disease. I say so called because thereis a common idea prevailing in public mindthat once cancer is diagnosed the deathcertificate is given. The sooner this ideagoes away fromthe peoples mind the better.Campaign should be made to impress in thepeoples mind that this is a curable disease.This changed idea will definitely help thehuman race to get out of their cloud of fearand look the thing in their proper perspec-tive. I can say that a large percentage ofcures have been reported by various methodsof treatment and the others suffering fromthis disease likewise may also be cured. "Inany event the dogma that cancer is an incu-rable disease, is in face of the evidence anentirely untrue one and sooner it is dispelledthe better for suffering humanity".

The whole scheme of treatment may bedevided in to five general groups.

(1) Preventive (2) Medicinal (3) Radi-ation (4) Surgical (5) General.

Preventive: I Know that I would be

riduculed when I shall speak of preventionof cancer. But it is very true that occuranceof cancer can be prevented.

A baby is safe when he is in the lap ofmother completely under her control.Mothers love and kindness prevents thebaby from any sort of physical hurt. Mothernature is also similarly kind to us. Whenwere completely dependent on the influenceof mother nature, we are also safe. Thishave been proved times without number.

Ors. W. Cramer, A. C. Jordon and TomHarkness wrote in British' medical journal in30th April 1938 that "Cancer is a diseaseof Civilization". Dr. E. H. Tipper in an essaythe cradle of the world and cancer in 1927

wrote. "Amongst the race of which I write-

Congress on Cancer

where conventisnalism is absent and food

perfectly natural and abundant; where thenatives have never lost touch with the first

principles of feeding and there is no suchthings as constipation-there is no cancer".If we go through the writings of D. BernardHollander in the essay 'Freedom of Negroraces from cancer'. we find, he writes "Iwas interested in the causation of cancer,when my friend, the late Sir Henry MortonStanley, the African explorer, drew my atten-tion to the fact that the native races in the

regions through which he had travelledwere free from it to make sure, he furnished

me with a list of hospitals and got me towrite to the physicians in charge of them.The replies I received confirmed his obser-vations and revealed that only in cost townswhere natives mingled with Europeans, didcancer occur. And then, only (at that time)one case in about 10 or 12 years Thisinformation led me to further inquiries, andI ascertained that native races of other con-

tinents were similarly immune when notbrought into contact with civilization". InHimalayan regions also cancer is very unco-mmon amongst races and tribes who liveand grow in nature and eat raw and wholesome food. Dr. Hallilay a Lt. Col. in IndianMedical Service wrote that in twentytwoyears of experience in the plains of Punjaband the North West province and Himalayasonly encountered 3 cases of cancer.

In other words natural whole bread,Maize' Millet, Plenty of greens, uncooked orhalf cooked food, fruits, Sugar cane Garlicand less flesh food will help prevention ofcancer. Moreover Dr. Forbes Rose advisedhis patients to take a pinch of ci trate ofpotassium in a glass of hot water either onrising or at some other convenient time forthe purpose of prevention of cancer withvery good results. Professor Avile advised


to take a tea spoonful of Linsed with lemon with those which are unrecorded. Manyand honey before i hours of food. Linsed names I could make here like Drs. Paget,oil, according to him, contains anticancerous Brodie, Muller, Sauerbruch, Gleitmann,

prevention of the sa~d disease. That is whyGurudev Rabindra Nath Tagore used to askhis pupils to take breathing exercises dailyfor keeping up their general health and

prevention of many diseases.)

Medical Treatment:

Before I go for medicinal treatment Iwant to stress on a very important point i.e.the spontaneous cure of cancer "In 1925the well known surgeon Mr. HastingsGilford wrote the following highly signifi-cant words: Though cancer is so commonlyregarded as inevitably fatal, many cases arerecorded as spontaneous disappearence andnothing can be more certain that these re-corded cases are very few in comparision

Congress on Cancer

I have a personal experience of thisspontaneous recovery of a case of cancer.Sri Bijan Banerjee who was working as mydriver is an old man who was affected by

\cancer throat His condition was seriousand it was diagonised as a case of cancerby Medical College and advised Deep ray

(therapy. A couple of exposures were alsogiven when he got an attac::k of virulenttype of small pox. When he recovered fromsmall pox he found that the cancer of thethroat is also cured. He was alive with

~ -normal health for more then 12 years after

that. Regarding medical tr;atment I shallonly restrict myself to Homooopathic treat-ment and avoid discussion on chemothera-

peutic drugs.

There are many homooopathic drugssuitable for cure of cancer cases. As

, homooopathic medicines are selected accor-.\ ding to symptom similarity any drug in the

Materia Mediea may come in. I have foundthe following drugs to be of great use whenprescribed according to their symptom simi-larity. These drugs are Thuja, Acid Nitric,Aurum lod., Aurum Mur., Kreosotum, X-Ray

useful'; The drugs were selected either onacute symptoms to alliviate pain etc. follo-wed by constitutional or antimiasmatictreatment. This antimiasmatic treatment isvery essential because the miasmatic condi-tion produces the diatheses and if this orabnormal susc~ptibility is not corrected byproper deep acting miasmatic drug completecure cannot be effected. To select the drugsfor the acute condition we found that diffe-rent drugs have propensity to differentspheres of body or tissue. Thus we find

. Gallium Appra is useful for tongue cancer,Ruta G. for rectal. Hypericum for nerve can-

cer and symphytum and Aurum for B~cancer Benzol for Blood Cancer etc. etc.

In 1929 Dr. A. N. Grimmer, M. D. ofU. S. A. wrote, "the curing of cancer casesby homrepathic remedies is nothing new orstrange". But he significantly said that foruniform success one must combine theselection of the homreopathic remedy with

I a diet of fruits, vegetables, cereals and nuts.In an article by Dr. James Stephenson M. D.published in the journal of the American

Institute of Homreopathy (January 1955)he gives the case histories of a large numberof patients cured by homreopathic means,Quoting Dr. H. L. Peterman he writes: "Mysuccess in the treatment of cancer is asgood as in other sever diseases. I don'textirpate in a single case. I have cured upto50 cases in 35 years all kinds, only twodeaths. This was already in 1905. A fewyeare later he reported cures of 80 still with2 deaths. Dr. Stephenson further states the'ongest series of cases to be found in

Congress on Cancer

homreopathic literature was reported by

JDr. W. E. Jackson-almost one thousandtwo hundred cases over a period of 12 yearsthe recovery rate being 92%.

Radiation Therapy: I do not want togo into the detail of this treatment. Manycases of palliation of symptoms and somecures have been recorded.

Surgical Treatment: I must admit thatin certain cases where the diagnosis wasdone in very early stage surgical interven-tion has given longer life to the patient. Inmy mind it appeare that after surgical remo-val, homreopathic constitutional treatmentwill yield better result and preventrecurrance.

General Treatment: I may suggestsome points as general treatment over andabove the application of in indicated medi-cines. They are-(1) Rest (2) RegularBreathing exercise (3) Exercise for bring-ing mental tranquility by meditation andantosuggestion. (4) Good whole somefood like brown bread, maize, apples, nuts,almond milk, honey, grapes, black molases,green vegetables, uncooked or half cookedsubstances. (5) Avoid extra common salt.(6) Take food rich in Potash content likeapples, leafy vegetables growing in or aro-und ponds like kalmi, suzni etc. molases.

I

(7) Avoid unnecessary flesh eating. Takesmall fishes in plenty, (8) Avoid consti-pation- Take whole linseed or linseed oil.(9) Naturopathic treatment may be addedto with the medicinal treatment. Dr. LuisKuhne's method of elimination of anto in-

toxicating agents by naturopathic method-is worth mentioning. (10) Avoid any thingwhich irritates internally or externally -Avoidvery worm food very cold drinks or food.Spicy food and condiments excessive chilly.Cigerattes Tobacco chewing or in any form


Chemical cosmetic~, Chemical fertiliser,Mental irritation (11) Avoid over feedingand rich feeding-fasting at least once aweek. (12) Av-oidsuppression of externalmanifestation of a chronic disease likeeczema by external application.

let me take up a few established casesof cancer where homreopathic treatmentwas found useful.

1) let me take up the case of my fatherlate Dr. Netai Charan Chakravarty who washimself was a great homooopath. I havelearnt much of homooopathy sitting underhis feet and have seen innumerable such

cases miraculously cured. He got an attackof cold and cough with chronic hoarsenessin the beginning of 1969. In November1969 he developed dysphagia. Prof. Dr. N.Banerjee, F.R.C.S. etc. E. N. T. surgeonwas consulted who immediately detected anew growth in his throat and advised forX-Ray and Biopsy. Biopsy was done inCalcutta Medical College by Dr. Amitava Roy,F.R.C.S. etc. and the report of two sepe-rate samples done in Medical College andout side by Dr. S. K. Banerjee revealed that

After taking up the case the peculiarmental and catarrhal symptom of Tubercu-linum was found and Tuberculinum Bov.200 was prescribed in 2 fractional dosesmade in distilled water by 2 globules of themedicine. This helped the patient and ulti-mately she got cured. Of course she requi-red some intercurrent remedy like Hydrastis

Can. Q, Nux Vomica 30 and Rhus T~ 12 atdifferent times for relieving certain symptoms.Even today she is alive enjoying a healthylife. In 1968 she was called back by Medi-

cal College. In their routine follow up theywanted to know whether she was alive or

not. When in reply they came to know thatshe was alive, she was requested to appearin the tumour clinic, and on their request thefamous physician Dr. J. C. Banerjee exami-ned her on 1. 2. 68 ( Tumour clinic No. T.C.-25/68) and declared that there was noneed of radiotherapy or any other treatment.

dysuria, ascitis, oedema of legs, swolleningof scrotum, Jaundice with itching of wholebody and the general condition was verypoor. Patient \II,as more or iess semicon-cious. To my mind it appeared that it isimpossible to treat this cases at such a latestage. However to give relief to the thensymptom of jaundice, itching, ascitis anddysuria I prescribed Myrica Q to be taken3 times a day. This became the life savingdrug for him and he started improving. Hegot completely cured.

mental symptoms and sleep, He is cured ofhis complains for more than 5 years.

7) Mrs. Sen mother of Sri KajalSen ofR. B. Avenue, Calcutta consulted me forcancer of pancreas. The diagnosis wasdone in the hospital after biopsy and wasleft as a lost case. Her son KajalBabu con-sulted me. I saw her at her place. She wastoo weak to move and there was jaundice. I

prescribed Sillicea 200 which improved hercondition followed by Calcarea fluor 6x.She is alive today for more than six yearscompletely free from her original troubleand doing all household works normally.

8) I have treated Dr. Mrs. Chatterjeewife of Dr. M. N. Chatterjee, Prof. of patho-logy National Medical College for cancer ofher intestines. She completed all the mod-ern treatment and came to me, she was onIndoxon, a chemotherapeutic drug whichwas tapered out and started homceopathicmedicine. So far I rememberthe drug wasCarcinosin 200 followed by Calcarea fluor--6x. Now she is totally free from her trouble

for about 2 years. She was sent to foreign

country for necessary check up where herbrother was famous radiologist. There wasalso she was declared as free from that

disease.

I do not want to increase the list for

fear of space and time.

I narrated the cases not to bring anycredit to myself. I know many of my friendsand students are treating this disease succes-

sfully either curing them or alliviating thepain and am sure some research worker will


on& day bring most of the list out. My pur-pose of narrating the cases is to bring con-fidence to the mind of the physicians aswell as lay people that this is a curabledisease. Hard study, devotion and researchwill some day bring out a proper line oftreatment for controlling or curing thisdreadful disease.

I want to further add that homooopathicmedicines work equally well even after oralongwith radiotherapy or surgical interven-tion or chemotherapeutic drugs. This I haveobserved in several cases. Many post sur-gical or post radiation cancer cases are nowunder my care and most of them are doing

)well time period ranging to 2 to 15 years.

I cannot stop without mentioning acase of Hodgkin's disease. A lady namedSrimati Bala Dutta Banic age 65 years cameto me on 1.8.74 with Hodgkin's diseasediagnosed and treated in Medical Coll-ege Hospitals Card No. 74/793 dt. 16.7.74.She was a hungry patients and basing on

She was given lodum 200 on 1.8.74. Afterone month she developed fever and gavesymptoms of Ars. lod 30 was given whichrelieved but again symptoms of lodum app-eared which was again repeated. Subsequ-ently she improved but the complains didnot subside completely. Hoang Nun 3xwas prescribed. This cured her completely.She is enjoying normal health now. 0

Homoeopathic cancer considerations.

Introduction

When approaching cancer as a diseaseit seemed necessary first to consider therange of treatment types available to thehomreopathic therapist. Within the frame-work of the law of similars available treat-

ment can be conceptualized as being of two

types. @e first broad group are drugs thatproduce similar symptoms and can be des-cribed as paralleling the disease process,

e. g. hemlock. poke root in applicable cas~

~ second broad group are drugs that.are more closely aimed at stimulating the

I immune system, e.g. nosode0 These canbe described as accentuating resistanceto the disease process. ~ Within the limits ofthe work described in this paper, an attempt

has been made to develop drugs whichare designed to consider these avenues oftreatment and to test the effectiveness with-

in limited laboratory experiments.

Consideration was given to the selec-tion of plants from which to develop drugs.New approaches were considered to try to

expand the range of raw materials availablefor future research work.

To this end 'a-priori' models were deve-

loped. The first considered cancer tumourgrowth in terms of characteristics whichdraw similarities between the tumour and

plant community ecology. While it is reali-zed that cancers develop from a plastic celtdivision, the growth and effect of such can-

cers within and on the surrounding commu-nity of body cells and organs can be seen

Method

The concepts outlined were used to

select species from whic9-1lnctures were tobe derived for testing. ltn the first caseplants which displayed characteristics whicheffectively smother. strangle or crush theirhosts were considered. A number of such

types were utilized. But at this stage onlyone has been tested. This was a speciesfound in Central Americawhich very effec-tively kills its host trae, was known to the

t

author, and this was available for testing.

lit is a strangler fig. Ficus padifolia, also----.known as matapalito-tre killer. This g~owsprolificallyon palm trees: The vines wrapr-themselves around palm rees, growing out

of the ground at the very base of the palmin several shoots that then wind themselves

around the palm. It is common for this in-vader to completely cover the trunk of thepalm as its own trunks merge to form ano-ther, outer trunk. The vine then forms its


own branches and leaves and kills its host

by both smothering its canopy and crushingthe trunk. It is an extremely effective agentin the destruction of the unfortunate host.

A tincture was derived from leaves,stem and root of the plant macerated inalcohol for eight days and then attenuatedto the potencies shown in Table 1. Prelimi-nary experimental work was undertaken at

laboratory conditions.

In preliminary attempts to assess the I

efficacy of the drug on cell proliferation,.. I

the human peripheral blood leucocyte cul- II

Results are summarized in Table 1.

AnalysisThis culture system has been used

quite extensively as a preliminary screeningmethod for inhibition of cell proliferation.Normally, cells are stimulated to transformand divide in culture under the influence ofthe lectin phytohaemagglutinin.

Experiment 2

The second model considered the nor-

mal distribution curve of the response of apopulation to a disease. In any populationsome individuals have very low resistanceand contract the disease rapidly and in thecase of fatal diseases succumb quickly. Thenext group, the majority, contract the dise-ase more slowly and succumb at later dates.But there is a group of individuals whichbecause of a much higher resistance do notcontract the disease or throw off its effectsrapidly and fully.

It was plants that exhibited the charac-

teristics of the last of these groups whichattracted consideration in this work. It wasfelt that plants which showed most vigourin resisting the noxious attentions of para-sites or of other agencies could provideefficacious drugs for the treatment of cancergrowths. It was also felt that if tincturescould be made from individuals within aspecies group which may have been attac-ked by a pathological agency and had

successfully resisted that attack, it was hig-hly likely that the immune characteristics,which the plant had developed or hadpossessed inherently, would probably beincorporated within the remedy.

Method

Because the initial work was beingconducted in New Zealand it was felt thatindigenous species shou Id be examined.New Zealand's indigenous species are gene-rally described as a mixed temperate rain-forest. The lowlands species are characte-rized by a podocarp community with indi-;;idual species names unfamiliar elsewhere.However in practical terms the 'bush' isdense, damp and vigorous in its growth..\'ithin this forest complex there is an indi-genous example of the myrtle family. This

C::;ngress on Cancer

species is Metrosideros robusta, knownlocally as the rata. This plant is abundantin the native forests and is responsible forthe deaths of many of the canopy trees ofthe forest. It is a vine which develops froman epiphyte. As the young plant develops,it sends down roots towards the ground.These roots inosculate, and slowly enclosethe stem of the supporting tree, which atlast is crushed by the grip of the rata.2

The only tree which can resist the ironhug is the puriri ( Vitex lucens) the stron-gest and toughest of all New Zealand trees.In tact it may sometimes be seen burstingthe encircling roots of the epiphyte.s Thisprompted interest in the utilization of theseresistive characteristics in the immune

system.

It was also considered that an indivi-

dual which had been invaded by the rata,but had resisted, would have enhanced thegeneral nature of the puriri species. Itsability as a species to withstand the noxiousattentions of the rata vine is so marked that

it was very difficult to find an individualwhich had been invaded by the rata andhad subsequently resisted the attack.

Once such an individual had been loca-ted, a quantity of puriri leaves, trunk androot was obtained and then macerated foreight days to make a mother tincture fromit. The tincture was then potentized to the12th. 15th and 30th attenuations, using

IKorsakov hand succussion. Silica glassvials sterilized by heat were used through-out. Succussion frequencies were ten sharpstrokes per attenuation. The serial dilutionswere centesimal scale and the rest periodbetween each attenuation was just suffi-cient to refill the vial to the appropriateamount, upon which succussion was resu-med by hand each time.


A pilot experiment to assess the tumo-urreducing capacity of potentized Puririwas then undertaken under laboratory con-ditions.

Twenty age and sex matched BALB Cmice were randomly allocated into four gro-ups of five mice. Each mouse was injectedintraperitoneally with 5 x 10 S syngenslsMeth A tumour cells.4 The mice were allo-wed food and water ad libitum. The drin-king waterof the control group was normaltap water, for the three test groups aque-ous Puriri at potencies 12, 15 and 30 res-pectively was added to tap water in thewater bottles, which were similarly repleni-shed at two to three day intervals. Becauseof the small volume of Puriri 12 availabledue to a technical problem. Puriri 12 wasonly replenished on one occasion; for theremaining weeks the Puriri 12 group dranknormal tap water.

The mice were assessed for tumour

growth (subjective) and time of death aftertumour challenge.

The tumour dose selected was chosen

because in the author's experience it wouldnormally lead to 10°% mortality within onemonth which is a reasonable time to assesstreatment effect.

Results

Six weeks after the start of the experi-ment the condition of the four groups wasas follows:

Control Three dead (26-28 days): twonormal.

Three dead (one after 15 days,two between 26-28 days): twonormal.

Puriri 12

Puriri 15 One dead (26-28 days): twowith small tumours. two normal.

Puriri 30 Two with small tumours, threenormal.

Analysis

Within strict statistical terms the expe-riment was inconclusive because there wasno statistically significant difference bet-ween the groups. However there are suffi-cient trends indicated within the results togenerate some conclusions and to show the

need for future modifications in the experi-mental design.

There was not the expected mortalityin the control group because of the restric-ted nature of the sample and the time scalethe .reasons for this could not be adequatelyclarified. Large group sizes would there-fore be required in future to show statisti-cally significant differences.

However, there was a trend in theresults which showed that the mortality rateof the Puriri 15 and 30 potency groupswas lower than the other groups. Ofparticular interest was the 30 potency groupin which there was no mortality and thetumour size was also small. In the experi-menters' opinion it would be worth exten-ding the trail using larger numbers of miceand a range of tumour doses as a result ofthis initial indication of success. With largergroup sizes statistical testing requirementscould be more easily met.

(Conclusions JIn this paper there has been an attempt

to show a conceptual model which relateddisease processes involving cancer with vari-ous plant characteristics. The purpose ofthis was to create a framework within w.tlichplant species could be selected for experi-mentation. Although the purpose of theexperiments was not primarily to test this'a priori" model rigorously, the results showthat it was a helpful process and may ena-ble many other plants from many areas ofthe world to be chosen for this and otherdisease processes.

The experiments described tested theefficacy of potencies derived from two spe-cies of cancer tumour development. AIt\1o-ugh the experimental samples were smalland consequently the results cannot beseen as definitive, the trends establishedwere encouraging within the tentativenature of the programme.

While the first exp eriment was moredefinite in its conclusions it is the secondexperiment which stimulates speculation offurther implications. It gives the possibilityof a wide field of study in the potential ofusing survivor individuals as the basis forhomreopathic remedies. A lot of work inorthodox chemistry and plant physiologyhas been conducted in examining the rea-sons for this resistance factor and subse-quent vigour of the plant after the attack bythe pathogen5.6.7. This could also be exten-ded to include vigourous noxious specieswhich having been treated by herbicidesrecover and continue to grow withvigour6.8 The characteristics of such indi-viduals, potentized, may prove very usef~../

CANCER*

I heard on the wireless the other nightthat the Imperial Cancer Research body hadthe finest laboratories in EUROPE, and

seventy picked scientists who were experi-menting to find "The Cure for Cancer."

To-day (8th March) the press reportsthat smoking causes cancer of the lung,

Cancer it very much in the news and itis, undoubtedly, killing thousands of people.

Those seventy picked scientists (who,incidentally, do not work under the nationalhealth scheme) will NEVER find "The Curefor Cancer" because there is no such thing.

Cancer is the end product of disease

and the patient is sick, long before the dis-ease ultimates in what we call cancer. let

me give you an illustration. A woman of

sixty eame to live in our village and rsoonafter we go to know her, she said she had

to see a skin specialist at the county hospi-tal because she had an eruption on her legs.For three years I never saw her without ban-dages on both legs and during the whole of

this time she applied an oinment, which shehad to use very sparingly, as it was veryexpensive and she was only given a tinypot! Then she began to complain of cons-tipation and "an uncomfortable" feeling inthe rectum. She went, this time, to the local

hospital and the specialist there said he

would operate (only something very slight)-to remove a small lump which was protru-ding in the rectum, when all would be well.She was in hospital for only a week and

she came out feeling very relieved that hertrouble was over. It was-for twelve mon-

ths. Then the same thing happened and

Congress on Cancer

back she went into the local hospital "foranother slight operation" and a week later

she returned home once again feeling much 1

better. Unhappily however, this improve-ment lasted only a few days and in threeweeks she collapsed and was taken backinto hospital by ambulance this time, whereshe remained for nine mon'ths, her flesh fell

away from her, she had several abdominaloperations to relieve pain and subsequentlyshe died-a dreadful death-of cancer.

The point I want to make is that thiswoman was sick when the eruption firstappeared on her legs-and this was nature's

way of eliminating the poisons. Had shethen been treated homooopathically on the

totality of symptoms, SHE would have beenright and nothing more would have ultima-ted-in other words she would have been

cured.

JI reiterate- cancer is only the results of

disease and NOT the disease itself and

therefore it is impossible for anybody tofind THE cure for cancer.

Cancer as we know it, is the ultimation

of disease in those patients whose suscepti-

~ility and idiosyncracies make it possiblefor a cancer to appear and flourish. In theother patients sickness manifests in otherways. e.g. as rheumatism, kidney troubles,stomach ulcers, etc. This must be so, other-wise EVERYBODYwould have cancer, and

the same type of cancer.**

!'As a celebrity puts it, anarchy in cellgro~-h is cancer and anarchy in cell function

is epilepsu Whenever a diagnosis of canceris made on a Patient, it sounds like a deathsentence because there is no cure for it andthe dreadful cancerous pains are not con-trolled, even today inspite of all the magni-ficent discoveries in medicine. This is the

grim picture that is presented, whether thecancer afflicts a king or common man. Thatis why the patient gets panicky and fright-ened. By the time the diagnosis is made,it is already well advanced with the involve-ment of remote glands and organs, even toa doctor-patient and it is more so to thelay-man. There is another interesting aspectof the situation. The wide publicity giventhrough press, platform, radio and T. V. forearly detection of cancer has not in manycases reached physicians and patients whocontinue to be perilously unaware of thestealthy growth of cancer in them. In thecases where it reached them the innocent

~re gripped with the cancer phobia and be-come neurotics even at a non-cancerous

mole. This is because by the time the canceris detected and diagnosed, it is already welladvanced and hence cancer is a medical

problem. It is the problem not only inU. S. A. but also in India and it is moreintense in the under developed countries.

CANCER

The Socio-Medical Problem-

How many can afford the costly cyto-toxic treatment? Can a rural patient afford,to journey to the far off places to have thecobolt treatment and the involved X-raytreatment and surgery? Evenhis cousin acommon urbanite can not afford to undergothe torture of invalidismfor long periods ofnursing. Hence the problem is not only asocial one but also big economic one. Itinvolvesfear and grief tensions and tortures.There is no cure for even cancer-pain not tospeak of the cure of cancer? This is theoverall situation in the allopathic thera-peutics. The Oncologists are finding a bigproblem to control the cancer pain and therecent American trend in the speciality ofOncology is, to have separate discipline inmedicine for the pain and also for the ter-minal illness.

The wonderful discoveries in surgery,radiology and chemotherapy have contribu-

ted decidedly for the increased survival peri- ~ods in some varities of the malignancies, butunfortunately in the majority of the cases, itis adding the years of invalidism to the life.

The aetology of cancer is still unknown.The researchers like Conheim, Waldyer,Theiersea, Roberts, Horesman, Hickman andDobzahnsky etc. have mentioned materilisticfactors, which lack scientific evaluation.And a host of other researchers are trying toevolve an infection theory in some kinds ofcancer like Cross implicated virus for somevarieties of Leukaemia, so that the approachmay yield some better therapies. Becausethe aetiology and the diagnosis are shroudedin mystery, whenever the diagnosis of cancer

- is made the disease is already well advanced.


Now before entering into the merits anddemerits of the homooopathic therapeuticsin the malignancies, let us examine the ques-tion of cure of cancer. The homooopathicsdefinition of cure as laid down by Hahne-mann in the Organon is the ideal cure andone has to live to that ideal. Hahnemann'sdynamic theory of the disease and the drugare the perfect ones.

(By the time a cancer patient comes forthe homreopathic treatment, he is in theultimates of the disease after the heavy andthe toxic doses of irradiation, cytotoxic treat-ment and surgery and hence the term cureis not possible. Nevertheless homreopathictreatment affords excellent results in curingthe torture and the suffering of cancer pains.Undoubtedly the survival periods are exten-

\ ded, when compared to the treatment in theother systems of medicine.

Homooopathy plays an excellent role inthe therapeutics of cancer. The remissionof the disease is with comfort to the patient

with no invalidism. JNot only Burnett, Clark and other

classical authors reported the efficacy ofhomreopathic treatment for cancer in thepast. but, even today doctors like Wadia,

~ Kapadia. Oeekshitulu, Harischand, Kanjilal,Jugal Kishore, Surti, K.G.K.Sastry and other

homooopathic physicians reported good \survival periods for the canCer patients. ->

The patient diedof sudden heart attack, but not due to therecurrence of the cancer This patient con-sulted this author in 1948 for a lump in herright breast in her fortyfifth year, which wasconfirmed as malignant growth after thebiopsy. Because she witnessed excellentcures in her family with the homooopathictreatment for gastric ulcer, epilepsy and ahost of other critical acute iIInessess, sherefused to have total mastectomy with irra-diation and chemotherapy. She was givenConium, Natrummur, Thuja and Schirrinumon indications.

A doctor patient consulted me for ago-nising dreadful cancer pains of rectum. Shehad elaborate chemotherapy, colostomy andirradiation in U.S.A. but the pains havegripped her so badly to force her to commitsuicide on a few occasions.

This author has a few thousand casehistories of cancer patients of various varie-ties with the survival periods ranging from afew weeks to twenty years. For Iack ofspace and time the detailed case historiesfor the above cited cases are not appended.The readers can get the details on request.

There is beautiful scope for the preven-tion of cancer. The children with the cancer

to the parents and grand parents, can begiven preventive treatment with the consti-tutional homooopathic treatment and withthe use of indicated cancer nosodes off andon for a couple of months. Even the adultpatients having timely check-ups for anysuspected growth, by the specialist, to havesuccessful homreopathic treatment. Socialand philanthrophic organisations can play abig role, by conducting mass scale had testsand screenings, to provide the suspectedcancer patient to prevent the dreadful mani-festation, with successful treatment.

In this connection it is relevant even to

us in India to quote from Times magazinedated 2. 1. 1981 under the caption of 'Blackcancer' :

The statistics released by the NationalCancer Institute(U.S.A.) emphasise a strikingdisparity in the survival rates of blacks andwhites. Only 19% of black males with can-cer of the rectum, compared with 42% ofwhite males. This is because of the lack oftimely diagnosis and treatment at thespecialised centres.

Biopsy done June 14, 1984 at Safdar-jung Hospital, New Delhi revealed "Squa-mous Cell Carcinoma." Specimen obtained"from rectal mass." A second biopsy doneat the All India Institute of medical SciencesNew Delhi. June 28. 1984, read: "Squa-mous cell carcinoma, anal canal." Rectalsurgery removing the mass was done andshe improved for some time. Later sheunderwent 30 treatments of radiotherapyHer general condition deteriorated.

On September 7. 1984, she came to mewith the following symptoms:

1. Mentally very perturbed. Introverted.Silently brooding. Averse to music andnoise. Melancholic Depressed. Sighingfrequently. Fear of animals, especiallydogs.

2. Constant dull to sometimes very severepain in the right shoulder with stiffness.Worse on raising arm. X-ray of the cervi-cal spine showed an enlarged right-sidedcervical rib (sic) and to spms on the 5thand 6th vertebrae (sic).

3. Constant, dull to very severe pain in theperineum. Burning and pricking pain inthe anus. Constant oozing of offensiveserous discharge from the rectum. Verymuch afraid of passing stool as the painincreased for hours afterwards. At timesshe felt her rectum spasmodically con-tracting while passing stool. Local exa-mination revealed protrusion of small,slightly blackish mass per anus withperianal swelling. Better from hot appli-cation and hot drinks. Worse night,

month Thuja 200, two doses 15 minutesapart, was given followed by placebo.Reported feeling much better. She wasplaced on a strict vegetarian diet emphasi-zing fresh fruits and milk. No onions.

After another 20 days she reported asetback (sic). Now Nitric Acid 30, t. i. d.for 10 days, was given. She reported ageneral improvement particularly in herappetite, sleep, and pain. Placebo for 15days. Then Nitric Acid 200, two doses 15minutes apart, was given followed by place-bo. Further improvement continued. Theserous discharge per rectum diminished asdid its offensive odor. She showed moreinterest in life. and was more cheerful, andgained 1 kg. Approximately 1 month later,she received Nitric Acid 1M, two doses 15minutes apart followed by placebo. Again,a steady improvement was noted. Afteranother 10 days she began to relapse witha decrease in appetite, sleep, and cheerful-ness.

In view of the family history, as well asthe adage "When the best-selected remedyfails to improve permanently" (Alien's Key~otes), I decided to give tuberculinumbovum 200, two doses 15 minutes apart.Nithin 48 hours she slept deeply for 10

hours and thereafter improved strikingly.Sh~ gained 2 kgs. ./

At this point, she and her family werevery anxious to have another biopsy doneas they wished to khow exactly how muchshe had improved. I prefered that a biopsybe delayed. Notwithstanding, she wentahead and underwent a biopsy of therectum at the All India Institute of Medical

Sciences, New Del,hi on December 6, 1984.The report came back: ' there is no evidenceof malignancy in this. "She was continuedon placebo.

//"

Subsequently,She developed symptoms

of protrusion of the rectum while passingstool together with stitching pain in therectum. Ruta 30 t. i. d. for 10 days. Within30 days she had improved. Ruta 200, twopowders, was given followed'DY placebo.

In the meantime, some of her allopathicdoctor friends took issue with the biopsyreport of December 6 1984, doubting itsaccuracy. Against my advice, she went foranother rectal biopsy on January 8, 1985.Again, the report stated no malignancy.

She continued to improve on placebo.After another month, Nitric Acid 1M, twopowders 15 minutes apart, was given follo-wed by placebo. She continued to improve.

After another two months, she deve-loped a sense of heaviness in the perineumwith slight pain in the rectum after passingstool. Nitric Acid 10M, two powders 15

minutes apart, was given, which promptlyremoved all her rectal discomfort.

She is currently leading a normal life,happy that she is cured. She has beenadvised never to use any medicines otherthan homoo~pathic and to check with memonthly. Her last visit was December 15,1986. No complaints.


(Along with his manuscript, Dr. Pandaysubmitted photocopies of four rectal biopsiesof his patient. The first two, done in June.1984. by different pathologists, reported"Squamous cell carcinoma of the rectum".The third and fourth biopsies in December

1984 and January 1985 were also read byseparate p3thologists and reported to show"no evidence of malignancy", 0

While discussion of Cancer and the"Cancer Problem" occupy much space inboth medical and lay press, the Homooo-pathic Profession seems to take little part inthem. For the most part, HomreopathicPhysicians are silent much more so than in

the old days when some of them foughtvaliantly for their principles as applied in theexclusively medicinal treatment of this dreaddisease, and made their showing of suc-cessful results. ;here must be good reasonfor this ominous silence on a subject ofsuch vital importance. What has come overthe Homreopaths, to cause them to retirefrom the field in which there is so muchgeneral activity? Are they tired of contro-versy? It is perchance, an admission ofdefeat, a surrender to overwhelming forcesof opposition? Is it a confession thatHomooopathy is inadequate to deal success-fully with Cancer? It is just a phase of thegeneral apathy, discouragement and declineof interest in applied Homreo therapeutics?Or is it fear of the power of official Medi-cine, as exercised through the Governmentby its national organization, against all thosewho dare publicly to oppose the uselesssurgical and other treatment adopted byAllopathy in the treatment of Cancer anddenounce the propagandist campaign thatis in progress to extend it ?**

Are the Homooopaths acting honourablyas men of firm conviction and belief throughexperience of the cures by Homooopathy, intheir abject submission to the Allopathichierachy, by a renunciation of their rights to

use advocate or adV~OJmeasure of treatment condemned by theOfficial body? Is it the fear of consequen-ces the reason why Homooopathic Physi-cians are taking no part in the discussion of

Cancer nor advocating treatment byHomooopathic medication? It is quite truethat, "Cancer is incurable" but that is a longway from saying that, "the Cancer patient"is incurable. There is vast difference betweenthe two terms and the mental and physicalstates they represent. The public and medi-cal profession alike, have so long beingblinded and confused by crude, materialisticideas about disease in general and Cancerin particular, that they have lost the powerof discrimination between a disease and itsend products. The theory of the local natureand existence of Cancer has been held so

long and tenaciously that it is exceedingly

difficult to get a hearing for the long recog-nised, (in part), but newly demonstratedtruth Cancer is a constitutional disease, ofwhich the ultimate, local or tangible mani-festation in the form of a mass of tumour ismerely a result, a secondary product of themorbid process. When this is recognisedas a fact and accepted as truth it immedi-ately becomes obvious why local or mecha-nical treatment of Cancer is of no avail andmust always fail since it does not touch thereal disease at all. When it is seen that wehave to deal primarily with disordered func-tions with a morbid Vital-Dynamical processcapable of being acted upon and changedby Homooopathic Medicines, when we knowhow to use them, the Cancer case does notseem to hopeless, as it does when we thinkof it only as a malignant growth or tumour.THAT THE TREATMENT AND CURE OFCANCER IS DEFINITELY WITHIN THE


SCOPE AND POSSIBILITIESOF HOMCEO-PATHY, HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN ANDPROVED. The Real indications should be

clear to every intelligent, well read andtechnically competent Homreopath. Theyare first to correct the faulty metabolism byeliminating injurious articles of diet andproviding food that will supply the necessaryelements of nutrition in adequate amounts

and second, to prescribe skilfully the medi-cines which are demanded under theuniversal therapeutic principles of Recipro-cal Action, guided by symptom-similarity.These being fulfilled, one may be fully assu-red that curative results will follow, the

rapidity and completeness of which will beexactly proportionate to the skill of the pres-criber and the degree of susceptibility ofthe patient. We will be guilty of a crimeagainst humanity, if we do not at this junc-ture expose the hoax that has been perpe-trated by the Surgical promoters of theCancer campaign who hold out hope to theafflicted and are constantly urging almostcompelling the people to go at once to thesurgeon on discovering a mole, a lump, aswollen gland or what not and be operated.They are continually emphasising the ne-cessity for "Early and radical" treatment ofsuch things. Do they not thereby promise orimply that cure will result? I mean exactlywhat I say when I charge that the real basis

of all these sl!!gical pleadings and urgingsand compellings is a hopeless pessimism, aconfirmed but concealed belief that Canceris incurable and that in recommendingresort to the knife as, "the only hope" (withan implied promise of cure) they believetheir own statements and hold out a false

hope. They know fully well that surgerynever cures Cancer; that it merely removesthe external tangible product of the Cancerdisease and leaves untouched the disease

itself; that this invariably re-appears either

Congress on Cancer

in its original or in some other form, if thepatient does not die of the operation. Thehope surgeons hold out is nothing but thehope of palliation, of temporary relief. Pinthem down and they will either admit it,evade it, or (some of them) lie about it.They dare not hold out a promise of cure.Taken altogether, the current Cancer cam-paign is about the most cold-blooded cruel,most arrogant and presumptuous campaignever attemped by Orthodox Medicine. Withnothing to offer but mechanical and localmeasures which have been proved ineffec-tual and worse; condemning or ridiculingeveryone who differs from them by advisingresort to measures based upon successfulresults from constitutional treatment; refu-sing to investigate or even inspect cases ofverified cure by Homreopathic treatmentand attempting to supress the publicationof all reports of such cures, they have han-ded themselves into an association, whosepurpose is to beguile or force the public toaccept their programme and submit them-

selves to mutilation by the knife, or destruc-tion of their tissues by radium or the X-ray.The bigotry, selfishness, cold-bloodednessand cruelty of such a campaign becomesobvious when it is known that statistics

prove the constantly and rapidlyi ncreasingextension and terrific mortality of Cancerunder the mode of treatment they advocateExperience and logic alike prove that Cancerdoes not and cannot yield to local treatment.Nothing constructive has ever been gainedby such measures, they never cure. TheBritish Medical Journal said "Can there beany doubt that in many respects the knifeas a cure for Cancer has been a ghastlytailure"? Sir James Paget, acknowledgedthat Surgery cannot even be given the cre-dit of prolonging life, to say nothing aboutsaving life. He said "I am not aware of asingle case of recovery." Dr. Mc Farlan,

Professor of Surgery in the University ofGlasgow, wrote, "the operation never arre-sts but uniformally accelerates the progressof the disease", Dr, Francis Carter Wood,Vice President of the American Associationfor the Control of Cancer, said, "Radiumwill not cure Cancer, it only destroys Can-cerous tissue within a certain radius butdoes not drive the disease from the blood"

(a significant double admission). The ghas-tly dangers and total failures of radium andX-ray to cure Cancer are so well knownnow that it is. only necessary to mentionand condemn it. In view of these and innu-merable similar statements which might bepresented are we not justified in characte-rising the "Cancer campaign," as arrogant,cruel, selfish bigoted, pessimistic hope-less?

On the other hand, Cancer cases havebeen cured by Homooopathic treatment.Cancer cases can be and are being curedby Homooopathic medication, by men whohave faced their cases courageously studiedthem and the Homooopathic literature ofthe subject, chosen the remedy or remediesto be used according to the instructionsgiven in the organon for the treatment ofdisease AND STUCK TO IT. Any Homooo-path with a good knowledge of his MateriaMedica and knows how to select his

remedies according to the Law of Similars,can cure Cancer if he goes about it in theright way. The first thing to do is to forgetthe Cancer. Thenceforth if he is to succeed,

he will treat, not "Cancer" but the Cancerpatient. He must know that there is alwaysa pre-cancerous stage represented bycertain ailments and diathesis represented

by characteristic constitutional symptoms.Broadly speaking they include practicallyall symptoms and modalities, PECU LIARTO THE INDIVIDUAL, in whatever disease

Congress on Cancer

he may have had. They are to be diligentlysought and recorded in as complete aclinical history of the case as it is possibleto make. This is absolutely necessary andof the highest importance to the Homooo-path because frequently in fully developedcases with local Pathology or "Ultimates"present, few or none but common orsecondary symptoms exist. The ultimatesare of no value to the prescriber in selectingcurative remedies. Only the primary dyna-mical or functional symptoms-those whichrepresent the disease process in the active,formative phases past or present are reliableas a basis for curative treatment byHomooopathy, All secondary symptomsresulting from the presence of Pathologicalproducts, tumours, diseased or disabledorgans etc. must be excluded except sofar as they reveal peculial modalities.Ignorance of this fundamental principlehas been the main cause of failure in theHomooopathic treatment of Cancer cases-this with ignorance of how to apply inthe best way the general principle ofHomoootherapeutics-Similar Similbus Cu-rantur by which alone the curative medicinecan be found. Success in treatment isexactly proportionate to the skill of theprescriber the susceptibility of the patientand the stage or degree of malignancy ofthe disease. To prove that cancer can becured by Homooopathy I will give two casesfrom my own case-book, which were theonly two cases of Cancer that came tome for treatment.

Case No. 1

On 5th of Feb. 1958 I was consulted

by Mrs S.V, aged 61 years for Cancer ofthe Uterus. She had been treated with the

X-ray and Radium by the Allopaths at theGeneral Hospital, Colombo for very nearlya year, without success. At the end of


this period, they had informed her' sonthat the case was inoperable and thatnothing more could be done. They advisedhim to acquiese to her every wish as shehad not long to live. It was in thesecircumstances in sheer desperation andas a last resort, that they consu Ited me.She said that she felt as if she was beingconsumed by fire. She drank as muchice-water as she could in order to allay theburning. She was despondent sad, emaci-ated and extremely weak. She had no sleepnight or day because of the agony she wasgoing through. My first prescription wasPhos 30 five doses given every half- hourdry on the tongue. On the following daythe pain was very much less and bearable.This remedy was given not so much for thecraving for iced drinks but mainly as anantidote to the effect or radium and theX-ray. On the three following days, shehad the same number of Placebo, as shecontinued to have very slight improvementon each successive day. On the 8th Feb

she received three doses Phos 30 everyhalf-an-hour followed by Placebo for the

next one week as improvement continued.On 16th Feb as there was a slight return ofthe symptoms Phos 30. (three doses) wasgiven as on the previous occasion followedby Placebo, but this time there was no im-provement. On 19th Feb she had threedoses of Phos 200 followed by Placeboimprovement continued till the second ofMarch and than ceased. 5th March, Phos200 repeated. 19th March, Phos 200 onimprovement 23rd March 1M was adminis-tered, with continued improvement whichlasted till 13th April, this was repeated onthe 14th April, with continued improvementfor two weeks. After the 3rd prescription ofPhos not only the burning but also thegreat heat she felt, gradually decreaseduntil she began to feel chilly without the

Congress on Cancer

desire for iced drink being diminished toany considerable extent. When I saw her

on the 28th of April, I found that her symp-toms had changed inasmuch as she wasagain beginning to feel the heat somewhat.

As the symptoms were not clear enoughfor a fresh prescription she was left withPlacebo sufficient for a week. She nowcomplained of stitches from rectum tobladder with frequent urging to urinate andcramping pain in the uterus. Her pulse wasslow in the morning but accelerated in theevening she had an acrid excoriating, burn-ing Leucorrhoeal discharge and she alsoexpectorated thick mucus; she also gotangry for the slightest thing. On thesesymptoms I prescribed on the 5th of MayThuja 1M, 10M, 50M, to be taken first thingin the morning on three consecutive days.I gave enough Placebo to last for threeweeks. Within three days of taking thethird powder the improvement in her con-dition was apparent. She was brighter andlooked better. This improvement continuedfor over a month. On the 20th of June asimprovement had ceased Thuja 1M, 10M,50M, was repeated with continued improve-ment till the 1st week of August 1958. Onthe 14th of August, I repeated the powerbut with not much amelioration. On the

28th of August I gave her Thuja CM. 2doses to be taken on two consecutive mor-nings. Improvement continued till about the2nd week of Nov. the remady was repeatedon the 14 of Nov., without any marked re-

action. Then her symptoms changed againto those of Arsenicum, with great mentalrestlessness, chilliness and desire for deathand plenty of fresh air along with burningpains which were ameliorated by heat. Onthe 23rd of December she was given Ars 30with rapid improvement which lasted for 3weeks, and the remedy was repeated on the13th of January 1959 with continued im-

plovment for over two months. Then thesymptoms changed again to those of Sul-phur. She complained now of burning inthe vertex could't bear the heat. very irritable

with flushes of heat and burning in the

Urethra when passing urine. On 19th of\r1arch she had two doses of Sulph 200. on

two consecutive nights just before bed timeas she did not sleep well On the 7th of

',/lay she developed an eruption whichcovered practically her whole body whichwas aggravated by heat and cold waterfor which she received only Placebo, till

the eruption had completely cleared whichtook over six weeks. On the 28th July 1959

she complained of chilliness and aversionto blowing, along with constipation and

great irritability for which she received onedoes of Nux V 30. This was the last

remedy she had and she tlas kept in goodhealth ever since I should like to mentionthat both the leucorrhoeal as well as the

thick mucus expectorated, ceased after the

administration of Thuja and that after a

couple of years there was no trace of theCancer present.

Case No. 2

On 8th March 1952 I was consulted

by Miss A.B. aged 3 years for Cancerof the breast. In this case her left breasthad already been removed due to Cancerby the Surgeons at the Govt. Hospital

Colombo. Now her right breast wasaffected for which she consulted the

Allopaths again. Four Allopathic doctors inconsultation on diagnosed it as Cancer andadvised her to enter hospital and have thisbreast removed as well without any further

delay, On examination I found a thickeningin the breast. which was very painful totouch and from the slightest movement. ItoYasa lancinating pain and she despaired of

recovery. On these symptoms I prescribed

Congress on Cancer

Bry 200 two doses on two consecutivedays. In four days time her pain had sub-sided to such an extent as to be practicallynegligible. As there were no other symp-toms to prescribe on, I kept her going onPlacebo for very nearly two months whenshe came to me with typical Arsenicum

symptoms, she was very nervous, chjlly,restless, fastidious and thought that some-thing would happen to her soon, whenasked what she thought would happen toher she replied I cannot say, it is nothing

in particular." On 28th of May she had onedose of Ars 30, followed by Placebo. These

distressing symptoms left her completely inthree weeks' time and as there were no

other symptoms to prescribe on I kept hergoing on weekly doses of Placebo. On the25th of July, she complained of roaring andwizzing in the ears with a little hardness of

hearing She also cried for the slightestthing and complained of a weak memoryand said she used the wrong words when

speaking. She also said that she had deve-

loped a tremendous appetite. She had sorepain in region of the liver, which was sen-

sitive to touch along with pain in the urethraafter urinating, she also had pain with stiff-ness in her lower limbs which were worse

on beginnig to walk and better while walk-

ing. She complained that she was worsefrom heat in the evenings from about 4p.m.to 9p m. or so. I prescribed lyc 200 onedose and these symptoms gradually disap-peared in about two months time and as

there were no symptoms to prescribe on, Ikept her going with placebo. She came to

me on the 14th Oct. with terrific pain in thehypogastric region which made her feel

faintish her stomach was bloated with painextending to chest with ineffectual desire forstool. She was pale and complained ofchilliness and was crying most of the timebut with all this she said she liked the blo-


wing and the open air and wanted to beunder a fan when I gave her one dose ofPuis 30 followed by Placebo. She appa-rently was quite well for about four months,when she started a purulent dischange fromher left ear, she also disliked the light, gota sudden aversion to meat with violent thirstfor water and a desire for sweets. She

complained that she felt weak suddenlyseveral times during the day. She also saidthat she disliked doing any type of workand that she was worse in the evenings. On28th Feb. 1953, I prescribed Sulph 200,1 dose. In one month'st ime the dischargefrom the ear completely disappeared. Onthe 23rd of Sept. 1953, she came to mewith Erysipelas on the left arm and as sheinformed me that she had the same trouble

some years ago on the same arm and as itwas an old symptom which was probablysuppressed came back again, I merely gaveher some Placebo. This cleared without

any medication whatso-ever in a little overthree weeks time, and she has kept wellever since. She saw me a year after thiswhen there was absolutely no trace of theCancer left. She wept and said that if shehad taken Homooopathic treatment in thefirst instance, she would have saved herother breast, as well, and added, "What isthe good of a woman without a breast 1"

You would see that in both thesecases I did not treat the Cancer, but thepatient with the Cancer. I merely prescribedfor the totality of symptoms of the patientwhen called for at various times in theusual way until the patient was cured andwas perfectly at case. I have to thank theimmortal Hahnemann and his most illustri-ous follower the Great Kent and those of

Congress oh Cancer

his ilk, for whatever success r have hadin my practice and I can honestly say thathad I not practiced pure unadulteratedHomreopathy as instructed by them andhad imbibed any of the false teaching ofthe modern so called Homreopaths whotry to upgrade Homreopathy, according tothem by bringing it in line with theso-called wonderful, modern scientificdiscoveries in medicine, I would never havebeen able to obtain the results achieved ~

in the practice of Homooopathy. It mustbe mentioned here that it would be com-

paratively easy to cure Cancer patients,were they to resort to Homooopathictreatment in the first instance. It is difficultand in certain cases almost impossible tocure after Allopathic treatment, since suchtreatment completely obliterates the symp-toms pertaining to the patient. In con-clusion, I would like to stress the factthat Homreopathy has no limitations.Limitations are restricted in varying degreeto each individual practitioner accordingto his knowledge and capacity to practicepure Hahnemannian HomreQpathy. So letus not broadc3st our ignorance of thesubject and irtcap3city to practice it, byproclaiming that Homooopathy is not acomplete system of medicine in itself butmerely an addition to unscientific Allopathy.Let us not follow some of the modernPandits of Homreopathy in seeking libertyand licence to make use of other methods

of treatment when in their opinion (whichmeans ignorance) it is in the best interestof the patient, if we fail to cure a curablecase, we must blame ourselves and notHomreopathy, which is the greatest, mostscientific, and complete system of healingthe world has ever seen. 0

Particulars of Patient: He suffered

'or5/6years in gastritis. Once for3/4months"'e had extreme stomach pain and conse-quently he called on Professor of Medicine,Chittagong Medical College Hospital. Afterexamining the patient he opined that ope-'CItion was necessary. Then the patient.vas taken to Dhaka. There the renowned°rofessor N. Islam, Director, P. G. Hospital,examined him. As per his direction, he hadto call on Dr. A. Rabbi, Professor of Surgery,P. G. Hospital. He having expressed thesame view, a final decision was taken foroperation. After coming back to ChittagongProfessor of Surgery again directed for ma-king X-Ray. After going through the report"'e said that the ulcer in the stomach has'eached to a critical stage and formed can-cer. But the patient is very weak and atsuch stage if operation is done, the patientshall die in the operation theatre. Assuming10j15 days of life left for him he advisedhim to take all things as he liked. At thismoment all the relatives were unanimous to

undergo homreopathic treatment. With thataim in view, a well wisher of the patientcame to us and talked about him. It wasdecided to record the details of patient on27/1/83 at 10-00 in the morning.

Conclusion: After knowing the finalopinion of the physician, when the patientgets the death-knell, when there is no hopeof survival then the patient being frustratedproceeds slowly towards death, then hecomes for homreopathic treatment. Treat-ment goes on in 50 millisimal system. Atthis critical stage of the patient the longactivised medicines like Nat. Sulph. andThuja having used 3 times, 2 times and 1time a day quick and good result could begot. Body weight of the patient rose from57 Kgs. to 63 Kgs. A religion minded pati-ent can keep fast undisturbedly for long 30

days even in the holy month of Ramjan. 0

Case No. 1 :

A truck driver aged 48 years in robusthealth consulted for his dental trouble in1987. He was having a tumor in his Rt.lower jaw, developed slowly with painbleeding gums, frequent gum boil andoffensive smell. He was addicted to allsorts of intoxicants. The alveolar processwas stony hard. X-Ray and biopsy revealedmalignancy. He had taken silica, Cal. flour,Mere Sol and Thuja with very little improve-ment as he said.

I gave him Amphisboena 30,200 whichhe continued for a pretty long time. Therewas a remarkable improvement and he isdoing his job well.

Case No. 2 :

Another case of oral Cancer. A labourerwas having a pin-size growth on the innerside of lower lip with bleeding at times. Thegrowth was irregular. Constant tobaccochewing. He used to have frequent angu-lar stomatitis. The tongue was flabby andmoist. Few doses of Mere Sol in 200 and1M potency completly cured the conditionin about 6 months time.

Case No. 3 :

A Case of Breast tumor, very hard butirregular-without involvement of axillarylymph node. Several well known remedieswere tried like Conium.. Cal flour, Phyto-locca, Asterias. None could help but fewdoses or Sulphur in 200 and 1000 potencycured. The patient had burning palms andsoles and was not helped by well selectedremedies. 0

The knowledge of complementary remedies is necessary of the

nearest remedy in its nature and not in a few symptoms. Thus ,in a series of complementary remedies, the conditions must be '

there as well as the symptoms.

In al/ skin diseases let it be your aim to fit the remedy to

the constitution of the patient, and not to the character of

the eruption alone. Always leave the consideration of

the skin to the last. When the reverse is done and the

remedy suits only the eruption, while the skin symptoms

are benefitted, the patient is invariably made worse.

CANCER

-The 50 millesimal potencies*CANCER IS A "DEATH BLOW" to

anybody. As soon as the doctor pro-

nounces 'CANCER'. the patient loosesinterest in him and around him. He may

tell "Why me"? To have a Cancer it lookslike a death sentence. Once I said 'NO'to such death sentence. I did not say even

'Why me'? But to say "No, Why me' ?requires a strong will. All Cancer patientsdo not have that "STRONG WILL" and

they slide down to death rapidiy.

Do we have in Homceopathy some-

thing to offer to Cancer victims? If we

r~ scan the literature ~~ Homceopathy wehave some rays of 'noj;e, but we were and

are not on sound footings. Once 6" w~around the world in 1960 to consult the

best and well known Homceopaths of the

world, but when they heard "Spindle cellSarcoma" "Neuro.fibro Sarcoma", and thenmost of them asked me 'How and why you

got it? Those words closed the chapter

of treatment in Homceop~ Then shouldr--- somebody surrender to eath if no treat-

ment is there in Allopathy, Ayurveda andHomceopathy? Should a fight betweenlife and death continue without the

assistance of treatment? Is there any rayof hope in Homce)pathy to get over "Deathsentence"? Will was there to live, but

does a strong will to live be sufficient for

a Cancer patient? The life force (Vit~force) needs help to get rid of CANCER,)a toxic product in the bod~ But how?Let us wait for a moment. Let ~ think over.To "Cure" is different from to "Heal".

Health is the power of the Soul (Life force)to live with the varying conditions ofthe body.

Cancer patients have three special needs :-

(1 ) not to be abandoned.

. (2) to find some one who will really

listen. and

(3) to be able to sh3re the feeling ofhelplessness.

The word 'CANCER' from the Doctor's

mouth is sufficient on many occasions to

bring about the death of a patient inch byinch. Fear is the greatest killer of a patient,who has cancer. "Fear of disease is one ofthe obstacles to overcome in sickness

and the greatest hindrance to recovery"

(10, 60). Cancer is not merely wild, unres-trained growth. Cancer cells not only growout of control, they invade and destroynearby healthy tissue cells. Cancer frag-

\ments or 'daughter cells' can travel in thelymph or blood stream to distant parts ofthe body establishing new cancer colonies.

The Cancer Problem*

In a healthy person a balance or har-mony between these aspects is a must. Inillness the interplay is disturbed. But whathappens in case of cancer? let us see.

The human body is composed of organs,tissues, and cells. The cells multiply andprovide higher units to give shape to thehuman body by form giving forces. Thecells basically tend to follow their nature tomultiply. The form giving forces let them doso following a definite pattern. In case ofcancer, the cells reproduction escapes thenormal routine controlled by the form giving

Before conclusion, it would be injustnot to appreciate the valuable research work

being done in Research Institute Hiscia JSwitzerland on cancer treatment by fermen-ted dilution of Viscum album in an original

method of Rudolf Steiner called Anthropo- /sophoical medicine on homooopathic princi- ypies. The results collected from Munich.Basle, Hamburg, and Vienna are better thanany other form of cancer therapy in theworld.

In the end I would stress upon themost important factor i. e., diet as most -eminent Homoopaths do in such cases. Allsorts of tinned, artificially processed andhighly seasoned food should be forbiddenbeside any kind of meat. Alcohol; tobaccoand coffee also be restricted. Only fresh,.non fertilizer vegetables, cereals and fruitsor nuts be allowed. So that patients intakeshould be nearest to nature like raw sugarinstead of white one.

I have tried to describe the generalbackground of cancer treatment instead ofdetails of actual prescription.

CARct NOMA:

Head of Pancreas*

Mr. P. K. On aged 33 years, married, gotoperated about four months back for chole-dochoduodenostomy (palliative) because ofcarcinoma in the head of pancreas whichcould not be removed. He is under mytreatment since 30.10.70 and is free from

the aforesaid ailments. He is leading almosta normal life till now.

A. Present complaints (as on 30.10.70):

1. Feeling of uneasiness and pain in theepigastrium and right hypogastriumsince the day of operation (choledo-choduodenostomy); the pain and dis-comfort ameliorates while he is other-

wise occupied.

2. Since the operation, acidity, heartburnand sour eructations occur after an

hour of meal; belching gives t~po!StQt-relief.

4. Since three years, pain in the right lowerchest, posteriorly; occasionally it shiftsto the left side. The pain is more orless constant and aggravates at the

I approach of summer.

5. Itching followed by swelling in differentparts of the body (probably allergicorigin).

The complaint for last thirteen yearswas intermittent pain in right hypochondrium

and epigastrium. It was occasionally verysevere in nature and for this he had totake palliative medicines from time to time.Finally he had the most severe attack ofpain with severe jaundice and progressiveemaciation in May 1970. This time allpalliative medicines failed and he was hospi-talised (as mentioned above).

B. Past history:

1. The patient had been suffering fromoccasional intermittent pain in righthypochondriU'm and epigastrium for last.thirteen years. Thereafter a severe spas-modic pain in abdomen first felt inJanuary 1959. Then it occurred fromtime to time and in December 1959 it

was diagnosed as amrebic hepatitis and--was treated accordingly by allopathicMedicines.

Comment: Considering that the pre-sent symptoms date back since theoperation and tenderness being presentalong the scar mark I prescribed it. Thepresent conditions as also the pulse heart,B.

Comment: The miasmatic state as

discussed above, along with the followingsymptoms led me to the selection of Thuja.The unusual fear of the Morning star withthe fixed idea th~t it is looking at him, isthe most striking feature of his mentalpredicament.

in such a case, I decided to fry 50 millesimalpotency to avoid any chance of unwantedaggravation.

Note: At that time I started experi-menting the 50-millesimal potency. Assuch, I used to give different potencies indifferent patients to start with. Hence, 0/5

Miasmatic Interpretation & Discussion:

A. General nature of the S}'cotic Mia~m :Sycosis produces incoordination every-where; ovur-production. growth, in-filtration in forms of warts, condyco-mata, tumours & fibrous tissues etc.

B. Organs/tissues are affected by thisstiguata (Sycosis): Entodermaltissues, soft tissues etc. - whereasPsora affects Ectodermal tissues,Syplitis affects mesodermal tissues).

Psyclic manifestations of Sycotic

Notes on Gelsemium:

1. When there is presence of many grout

of symptoms of various ailments and

if according to ind"cations Gelsemiumbeing prescribed at the outset, it canreally about the entire disease. (Ref.Ghatak). r

..

..

2. Due to absence of dep-acting antip-soric base, Gelsemium cannot prevent

the frequent relapse of the comr;la"ntsdue to psoric stigmata. Dr. NilmoniGhatak refers that one might thinkthat when Gelsemium has the capbility

to cure many deep seated dibease,like paralysis than how can it bepossible that the medicine do notposses deep seated anti - psoric stig-mata. but this may be noted that

when the exciting cause excites the

latent/dormant psora to explore andthereby occurs manifestation ofparalytic symptoms, Gelsimium havinginability to prevent the said explosionof latent psora and thereby annihila-ting the problem permanently like,Sulphur, Causticum etc., which also

corresponds miasmatically to the case.But Gelsemium have the capabilityof aborating the ailment when indi-cated by its totality especially at the

He with four mem-bers of his family were the victims for con-suming adulterated r~pe-.seedoil. None oftbem haverecovered. (Jugantar 24th June1989 ).

"This was the fate of most of the .oilvictims who fell violently ill after consuming

rape-seed oil adulterated with some kind ofaviation oil. The adulterated oil was sold

from a fair price shop "Garib Bhandar" inBehala. in the last week of June '88. The

oil contained T C P (Triorthocresyl phos-phate ), a neuro poison which damagei theentire nervous system. From July 17, 1988nearly 632 patients, mostly from the slumareas of Behala were hospitalised withsymptoms of paralysis, vomitting and pur-ging, mainly in ""Vidy~sagar hospital of thelocality and others were admitted in Bangur,S.S.K.M and Medical College hospitals.Reven of them died.

Toxic Neuropathy andHomreopathy*

Service rendered byInternational Federation

of Homreopathic Physicians

After observing the sad plight of thevictims, the Federation of HomreopathicPhysician (now an International organisa-tion) which had baen serving the ailinghumanity in different villages of West Bengalby opening free Homreopathic medicalcamps since its very inception and had beensuccessful in treating by Homreo medicinesin the Encephalitisand Gastric Catostrophy,in the circumstances applied to the Govern-ment of West Bengal for permitting 1:hemtoopen free Homreo Medical Campsfor .thetreatment of rape-seed oil victims. Theyalso sought financial help from them. Theappeal was made in the first week of August1988. To its reply the assistant secretary,Govt. of W B. in a letter addressed to theSecretary General Dr. Sanjoy Banerjee gavepermission to run Homooopathic treatmentcamps to which no financial aid willbe givenby them (vide letter No. NOH/ANH/528/3H-110/88 dated 17th Aug 1988). Accor-dinglya camp was open3d on thursday, the23rd August 1988 at 1/4 MonmohanBanerjee Road, ( Bura Shivtolla) BehalaCalcutta-38 at Mr. Mohan Alam's house.Subsequent camps were also opened atthree other places.

On observation it was foun::!that mostof the patients had vomitting. purging andpartial paralysisstarting flom downwards toupwards except in case of a lady who wasmentallyretarded.the paralysisstarled fromthe upper limb to downwards. Homreomedicines made rapid actions against those


who has vomitting and purging. There wasa bi slow'action of the medicine on those

I~~o had been treated with decadJon orphysiotherapy.

In the most of the patients therewere itches and scabies on ,the skin whichincreased' . with the improvementof paralysis.. Most of the. patients sufferedfrom extreme mental depression with anxiety

. and wories. One of the patients, a ladytrIed to attempt suicide thrice. She is now~ .completely cured by homceopathic treat-ment. '

ThouQh the !'ource of toxic-effectwas the s3me,yet the pa ients gave different

-symptoms. Tne patients were mentallyand physically depleted; There was notfound any genus-epidemicus in the cases.Oedema developed in many of. the patients.Treatment with homceo medicine was star-ted on the basis of individualisation and

totality of symptoms based on homceopathicprinciples. Though Homceopaths do notdisapprove physiotherapy in their treat-

\ment, this was not adopted in the treatmentlas this aggravated oedematous condition.Giving vitamins or allopathic medicineswere totally discarded.

The drug pictures that were presentedby the patients were covered by the follow-.ing madibines in different potendes :-

sI(Sa:Uptil now 150 patients have been trea-

ted in different camps of which 22%' werefully cured, there was a remarkable improv:'ement in 55%. slow improvement wasfound in 21~% and 1~% had very slow im-provement. The camp authorities hopethose who have not yet been .completelycured will be cured' in a few months.

As per statistics given in "The Telegraph"of 7th January'89, patients treated at BangurHospital were 201, 21 patients were treatedal Calcutta Medical Co!l~ge, 78 at S S.K Mhospital and near about 400 at the Vidyasa-gar Hospital, Behala. The hospital' autho-rities think 70% of them will be cured ihnext two years. some experts are of opinion(as per secret report) a great number ofpatients will not be cured at all as is vividfrom the statement of a patient Ashim Pati-tundi.

"Treatment has not helped us much.All we can do now is to beg on the streetor commit suicide". (The Telegraph 23/1088). Under ttais circumstances the successof the I.F.H.P. camps is really astounding.

organised pa~ients welfdre committee andafterwards became its President, told 'not

a single charitable organisation in the worldhas come forward to help us". I.F.H.P. is

proud that it cannot be blamed on thischarge.

Thanks are due to unstinted co-opera-

tion in day to day running of the camps, toMr. Mohon Alam, Md. Barsed Ali and localperson of Behala. I.F.H.P. is also indebtedto Sri Pranabesh Chakravorty of Jugantar,

Sri Shyamalendu Mitra of Bartaman. SriKajal Das, Photographer, Bartaman. SriSankar Das Gupta of Akash Banj, Calcuttaand other journali:>ts, for help rendered by

them in publicity. "The Homoopathy", arenowned homoo;3athicconcern be givenspecial appreciation for rendering servicesand by continuing distribution of free medi-cines to the oil victim cases.

The case histories, xerox copies of thehospital tickets, prescriptions of ho.;pitalsand treatments made in the camps havebeen kept in record in I.F.H.P. office anda few cases are appended below for therecords as the paucity of space will notallowto publish all the case histories. Some ofthe patients of the cases cited appearedbefore the participants in the scientific se-minar of I.F.H.P. and narrated how theywere alleviated from their despair by homoo-pathic treatment. 0

Work upto death-' am with you and when' am gone my spirit willwork with you. This life comes and goes-wealth, fame, enjoyments areonly for a few days. It is better, far better to die on the field ofduty, preaching the truth than to die like a worldly worm, Advance.
