Cancer Carcinoma Homeopathic treatment

TUMOR MARKERS – are substances found in blood , urine , body tissues found in antigens , hormones enzymes . Tumor markers (also known as biomarkers) are substances found at higher than normal levels in the blood, urine, or body tissue of some people with cancer
- elevated tumor markers gives us a sign of spread of cancer
- Tumor markers screening in healthy populations too help prevent risk of cancer .
- Monitoring patients with cancer .

Carcinoembryogenic antigen – CEA , Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) describes a set of highly related glycoproteins . CEA is normally produced in gastrointestinal tissue during fetal development, but the production stops before birth. Therefore CEA is usually present only at very low levels in the blood of healthy adults. However, the serum levels are raised in some types of cancer, which means that it can be used as a tumor marker in clinical tests. Serum levels can also be elevated in heavy smokers.
NORMAL RANGE OF CEA - <2.5 ng/ml in and adult non smoker ,< 5.0 ng/ml in smoker .
CARCINOEMBRYOGENIC ANTIGEN WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN COLONIC CANCER .
ELEVATED CEA LEVEL IS SEEN IN COLONIC CANCER , PANCREATIC CANCER ,GASTRIC CANCER , LUNG CANCER , BREAST CANCER could be metastasis
ELEVATED CARCINOEMBRYOGENIC LEVELS IS ALSO SEEN IN DISEASES SUCH AS CIRRHOSIS,INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE , CHRONIC LUNG DISEASE , PANCREATITIS .

ALFAFETOPROTEIN – AFP is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal development. It is thought to be the fetal form of serum albumin. Plasma levels decrease rapidly after birth but begin decreasing prenatally starting at the end of the first trimester.
Alfa fetoprotein level is elevated in hepatobilliary carcinoma , frequently elevated in lung cancer , acute viral infections ,drug induced hepatitis , testicular germ cell tumour .
Normally elevated alfa fetoprotein is also seen in normal pregnancy
A significant number of patients with BENIGN LIVER DISEASES LIKE cirrhosis AND hepatitis will have an elevated AFP level
CA-242 – TUMOUR MARKER IS ELEVATED IN CANCER OF THE PANCREAS AND NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
CA 125 IS RAISED IN GYNAECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS ENDOMETRIOSIS ,RAISEDDURING PREGNANCY AND IN CASE OF OVARIAN CANCER .
CA 72 – 4 IS RAISED IN MALIGNANT TUMOURS OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT – IN CANCER OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT , HELPS IN DAIGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS OF GASTROINTESTINAL ADENOCARCINOMA .
CA 50 is not organ-specific and its elevated levels in serum can be observed in a variety of malignancies, especially gastrointestinal cancers.

CA 27-29 ELEVATED IN BREAST CANCER , LUNG CANCER , OVARIAN CANCER ,AND PANCREAS .

CA – 19-9 – ELEVATED IN GASTRIC CANCER , PANCREATIC CANCER , STOMACH ,BILE DUCT CANCER ,LIVER CANCER .

CA – 153 – ELEVATED IN BREAST CANCER , TO KNOW THE ADVANCEMENT , TO MONITOR TREATMENT AND RECURRANCE , ALSO ELEVATED IN OVARIAN CANCER , LUNG CANCER , COLON CANCER , BILE DUCT CARCINOMA

Squamous-cell carcinoma or squamous cell cancer is a cancer of a kind of epithelial cell, the squamous cell. These cells are the main part of the epidermis of the skin, and this cancer is one of the major forms of skin cancer. However, squamous cells also occur in the lining of the digestive tract, lungs, and other areas of the body, and SCC occurs as a form of cancer in diverse tissues, including the lips, mouth, esophagus, urinary bladder, prostate, lung, vagina, and cervix, among others .
The pathological appearance of a squamous cell cancer varies with the depth of the biopsy. For that reason, a biopsy including the subcutaneous tissue and basalar epithelium, to the surface is necessary for correct diagnosis. The performance of a shave biopsy (see skin biopsy) might not acquire enough information for a diagnosis.
Ninety percent of cases of head and neck cancer (cancer of the mouth, nasal cavity, nasopharynx, throat and associated structures) are due to squamous cell carcinoma.

• Even though Cancer(carcinoma) is a disease of DNA damage most Cancer(carcinoma)s are due to environmental factors rather than heredity.
• Various chemicals, pesticides. • Tobacco and alcohol.
• Occupational hazards.
• Prolonged use of black and dark brown hair dyes, lotions, creams and talc.
• People living near hazardous waste dumps and nuclear plants are at high risk for Cancer(carcinoma).
• Breast Implants.
• Repeated exposures to radiation therapies and X-Rays can damage normal cells.
• Ultraviolet radiation - Prolonged exposure to sun increases risk of skin Cancer(carcinoma). • Certain viruses like Hepatitis B and C, Human Papillomavirus Virus and Epstein Barr Virus are associated with increased Cancer(carcinoma) risk.
• Immune system diseases like AIDS can make a person vulnerable to Cancer(carcinoma).
• Meat hormones.
• High fat, high cholesterol diets are a risk to colon, uterus and prostrate Cancer(carcinoma)s.
• Hereditary - if an abnormal gene responsible for causing Cancer(carcinoma) is passed from parent to child.

• Unusual bleeding or discharge from any parts of your body like nipples, penis or in urine or stool.
• A sore which does not heal, or is getting more painful or starts to bleed.
• Change in bowel or bladder habits.
• Sensation of lump in breast, scrotum or elsewhere.
• Persistent sore throat that doesn’t heal.
• Nagging cough that does not get better, bloody sputum and change in voice.
• A very noticeable change in border, color or size of existing warts or moles.
• Constant indigestion or difficulty in swallowing with pressure in throat or chest.
• Unexplained changes in weight.
• Loss of appetite.
• Chronic fatigue with weakness, paleness, flu like symptoms, enlarged lymph nodes.
• Unexplained bone pain or swelling.
• Lumps in the mouth, ulcers on the lip, tongue or inside of the mouth that does not heal.
• Discomfort in the abdomen with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation

There are a variety of different types of Cancer(carcinoma)s out of which the most familiar ones are listed below:

• Carcinomas are solid tumors that form in the epithelial cells that cover the lungs, breast, prostrate, skin, stomach and colon.
• Leukemias are an over production of abnormal white cells that form in the blood and bone marrow and travel through the bloodstream creating problems in the spleen and other tissues.
• Lymphomas are made from abnormal white blood cells that assemble in lymph glands to produce solid Cancer(carcinoma)ous tumors in the neck, groin, armpits, tonsils, spleen, stomach and intestine.
• Myelomas are rare tumors that appear in the antibody-producing plasma cells or blood cells in various tissues in the bone marrow. It usually causes bone destruction resulting in pain or fracture, low blood counts, kidney problems and repeated infections.
• Sarcomas are rare, deadly solid tumors that form in the bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and the outer protective linings of the lungs, abdomen, heart, central nervous system, and blood vessels.

Homeopathic approach as a supportive measure in Cancer(carcinoma): Homeopathy does not always treat the Cancer(carcinoma), but can be helpful as a supportive measure in all stages of Cancer(carcinoma). Along with the conventional treatment methods of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, Homeopathy can help ease the pains, discomforts and fears associated with surgery, as well as the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. It can assist individuals in enabling them to embrace the transition by improving the vitality and general sense of well being, it may stop to a certain extent the spread and complications of the disease process. In certain initial stages of Cancer(carcinoma) Homeopathic medicines may possibly change some of the hereditary weaknesses, called miasms in Homeopathy, which make some people more vulnerable to Cancer(carcinoma). Along with all conventional modalities a holistic lifestyle, a diet rich in raw organic foods and juices, regular exercise, regular detoxification of eliminative channels and organs with Homeopathic remedies, can dramatically increase your chances of fighting and reversing Cancer(carcinoma). Detoxification is an important aspect of Cancer(carcinoma) protocols, by which we can optimize the well being of our immune system which is a powerful defense against Cancer(carcinoma). There are specific Homeopathic remedies for various Cancer(carcinoma)s that target the tumor and may reverse its growth. A remedy is selected which matches the symptom picture of the tumor itself along with other symptoms such as the patient’s food cravings, physical constitution, other individual characteristics of the patient. Some Homeopathic remedies act as drainage remedies and assist in healing the patient’s eliminative channels (kidneys, urinary tract, lymphatic system, liver, etc), and strengthen cell detoxification. This approach fixes the cause of the tumors rather than attacking the tumor directly. It stops the malignant growth, eventually absorbing and discarding it from the body. Constitutional Homeopathic remedies when matched to an overall constitution of the patient by getting a detailed picture of the patient’s mental, emotional, and physical symptoms may eliminate the tumor in initial stages. By assisting the body in addressing and resolving the energy that underlies the tumor, it can result in complete elimination of the tumor. The best selected constitutional remedy can also support drainage and detoxification of various eliminative channels and organs. Homeopathic remedies are extremely safe and have no harmful side-effects. In advanced stages of Cancer(carcinoma) the condition may be incurable but Homeopathy can help ease pain and prolong.

My own practice experience has been that both viewpoints have merit. When the similimum (remedy that best matches the symptom picture of the patient) is selected, the patient is able to get in touch with and process long suppressed memories and emotions with a greater sense of acceptance and grace. The physical symptom aggravation is moderate and temporary (e.g. often just an hour or two). When a remedy is selected that is close to the similimum (but not the optimal match), or, when the dosage and potency is not optimal, the patient tends to “gripâ€Â more – that is, they have greater resistance to the release of toxic thoughts and emotions, feel more threatened by the process, and correspondingly have a more difficult time with the retrace of acute physical symptoms. The physical symptom aggravation is more vivid and lasts longer. Nevertheless, (in my experience) in cases of deep pathology (such as Cancer(carcinoma)), most patients have a profound level of resistance to feeling their feelings. Usually this is because of a built-in survival mechanism which protects them from feeling feelings which could destablize them and/or be more destructive than the disease itself (e.g. suicidal feelings). As a result, patients with deep pathology will tend to either have very moderate reactions to homeopathic remedies (because of the built in protective mechanism), or the remedies will release thoughts, emotions, and memories which are extremely toxic and destabilizing. In either case, there is strong initial resistance to the release process. When patients are able to release suppressed toxic emotions (via homeopathy or other means), the optimal scenario is for the patient to work with accompanying practitioners (psychotherapists, counselors, healers, etc). Some homeopathic practitioners will provide some support, but often other professionals are needed. Typically the fact that the patient is even able to surface the emotions is a sign of mental/emotional/spiritual strength – it provides evidence that their body wisdom is convinced that the individual can handle the memories and emotions and still remain safe. In other words, desomatization occurs when the memories and emotions somatized in the body are less life-threatening to the individual than the disease itself.  

• Avoid heavily processed foods.
• Eat a variety of vegetables and fruits each day.
• Choose whole grains in preference to processed grains and sugars.
• Limit consumption of red meats, especially those processed and high in fat.
• Adopt a physically active lifestyle.
• Lose weight if currently overweight.
• Avoid smoking and alcoholic beverages.
• Deal with stress before allowing it to overtake you.
• Avoid pesticides and chemicals that are known carcinogens.

Hence, consider Homeopathy to manage symptoms of Cancer(carcinoma), side effects from Conventional chemo and radiation therapies, control pain, improve well being and quality of life.  Homeopathy should be used with, not in place of, standard Cancer(carcinoma) Conventional therapies.
