Cancer,
described
in
simple
terms,
means an
abnormal
and
uncontrolled
growth
of cells
in the
body.
This
growth
can
spread
to
nearby
regions
and
later to
distant
locations
in the
body as
well.
During
the
process
of
growth
of
cancerous
tissue,
the
normal
tissues
of the
body are
destroyed
and
their
functioning
is
affected.
There
are more
than 100
types of
cancer
and much
more are
the
treatment
options
available
for the
same.

What happens to the body in Cancer?
The abnormal (cancerous) cells divide uncontrollably in the body and have the ability to break into (infiltrate) and destroy the normal body tissue. These abnormal cells can then start spreading throughout the body (metastasis) at a later stage. The problem occurs because the normal body tissues cannot get enough resources to survive due to the consumption of these resources by the cancerous cells. |

What
causes
Cancer?
Cancer
is
triggered
by
‘mutation’
in the
DNA of
the
calls of
the
body. A
mutation
is a
damaging
change
that has
occurred
in the
DNA. DNA
of the
cells is
like an
‘informative
set of
instructions
about
growth
and
division’.
When
this
gets
damaged
(mutated),
the
cells
have no
proper
instructions
on how
to grow
and
divide,
so they
start
growing
haphazardly
and
multiplying
in a
chaotic
manner.
This
causes
the
onset of
what is
called
‘cancer’.
Now this
mutation
can be
caused
due to a
number
of
factors
such as: |
- Genetic
tendency
(Family
history
of
cancer)
- Virus
(certain
carcinogenic
virus)
- Smoking
- Excessive
drinking
- Being
obese
(overweight)
- Skin
damage
caused
by
excessive
exposure
to
ultraviolet
radiation
- Unsafe
sexual
contact
(certain
sexually
transmitted
viral
infections)
- Certain
harmful
chemicals
in the
environment
- Some
chronic
health
conditions
such as
Ulcerative
colitis,
Hepatitis
C, etc
can turn
cancerous
|
|
These
are just
some of
the many
things
that can
trigger
a
mutation
and
initiate
cancer
in the
body.
Role
of
homeopathy
in
cancer
management:
The
scope of
Homeopathy
for
cancer
management
varies
depending
on the
type of
cancer,
stage of
cancer
and the
general
health
of the
patient.
Following
are some
of the
aspects
of
Cancer
management
with
Homeopathy:
1) One
of the
most
distressing
complaints
associated
with
some
varieties
of
Cancer
is the
agonizing
pain.
Conventional
medicines
can
provide
pain
relief
but only
to a
certain
extent
and
these
medicines
are not
without
any side
effects.
Moreover
there is
always a
restriction
to the
dosage
that can
be
safely
administered
to the
patient.
The
advantage
of
administering
Homeopathic
medicines
in such
cases is
that
there
can be
effective
pain
control
without
inducing
any side
effects.
2)
Homeopathy
can help
in
improving
the
general
well
being
and
vitality
of the
patient.
3)
Conventional
treatment
options
for
cancer
(chemotherapy,
radiotherapy,
etc) are
associated
with
distressing
side
effects
and
homeopathy
can play
a
definitive
role to
counter
these
side
effects.
4) The
diagnosis
of
cancer
often
leaves
the
patient
with a
sense of
depression,
anxiety
and
fear.
The
treatment
may
induce
additional
irritability,
impatience
and mood
fluctuations.
Homeopathy
can
influence
the
psyche
of the
patient
and help
him to
deal
with
these
emotions
in a
better
way.
5)
Homeopathic
medicines
may also
have a
role to
play in
controlling
the pace
at which
the
disease
increases
and
spread
of the
disease
to other
organs.
Homeopathic
medicines
can also
be
administered
along
with the
conventional
medication
and thus
it can
fulfill
its role
as a
complementary
treatment
for
Cancer
management.
It must
be
remembered
that
Homeopathy
is not a
substitute
or
alternative
for
conventional
medication
or
surgery
wherever
these
are
indicated.
Needless
to say,
Homeopathic
treatment
is
without
any
side-effects
whatsoever.
