El piensa que el Carcinosinum y el Scirrhinum son los dos mas importantes.
1. Estados pre-cancerosos.
La Homeopatía es el tratamiento de elección. (La medicina convencional
tiene poco o nada que ofrecer).
2. Cáncer en etapa muy incipiente.
Homeopatía.
3. Protuberancia pequeña, operable, no hay glándulas, no se extiende.
Cirugía por Homeopatía.
4. Protuberancia operable con nódulos linfáticos afectados, que son
también operables.
5. Lesión primaria operable. Las secundarias en las glándulas y órganos.
Pruebe con Homeopatía de 3 a 4 semanas. Si no hay éxito, radioterapia
seguida por Homeopatía
6. Etapa 4, Fijacion primaria con efectos de presión en áreas circundantes y
secundarias diseminadas en el cuerpo. Homeopatía para paliación.
El Dr. Ramakrishnan advierte que la Homeopatía nunca debe emplearse
simultáneamente con la quimioterapia o radioterapia. Estas modalidades interferirían
con la acción de la medicina y por lo tanto el protocolo del tratamiento Homeopático
sería menos efectivo. Si la quimioterapia se esta dando intermitentemente, es decir,
semanal o bi-semanalmente, entonces el tratamiento Homeopático puede darse en los
días intercalados entre la dosis.
› Potencia y dosificación
Baryta carbónica y también algunas veces Muriaticum, son igualmente muy efectivas
en el cáncer del cerebro. La Baryta tiene una afinidad con el tejido del cerebro y la sal
Muriaticum es muy buena para restablecer el flujo sanguíneo al cerebro.
– Cáncer de pecho
Conium, Scirrhinum.
– Cáncer de la próstata
Conium, Thuja, Sabal serrulata, Hydrangea. A el le gusta Hydrangea como tratamiento
para cáncer de la próstata cuando ha de tratar los cálculos renales y de la vejiga. El Dr.
Ramakrishnan ha visto así numerosas curaciones de cáncer prostático. La homeopatía
puede reducir muy efectivamente los niveles del antígeno específico de la próstata
(PSA), una situación para la cual no hay tratamiento convencional. Si el PSA esta
marginalmente alto, use Thuja. Si esta muy alto, use Conium. Conium es mas o menos
especifico cuando el PSA esta muy alto y debe bajar los niveles a lo normal. Use la
potencia 200c, una vez cada dos semanas y hágase de nuevo chequeo después de dos
a cuatro meses.
– Cáncer de la vejiga(urinaria)
Terebinthina, Cántharis.
– Cáncer de la piel
Sulphur, Arsenicum lodatum, Calcárea arsenicosa. Los Epiteliomias usualmente se
infectan y por lo tanto Arsenucum iodatum es a menudo un tratamiento efectivo.
– En el cáncer sanguíneo
Ferrum Phosophorico, China arsenicosa y Kalium arsenicosum, todo se puede usar a la
6x, por su profunda acción en la sangre. Ayudan en la fiebre y el dolor músculo-
esqueletico. Una dosis de cuatro a seis diariamente.
Carcinosinum
Este puede verificar la deterioración rápida en los casos terminales. El Dr.
Ramakrishnan ha estado asombrado por su acción en todas las etapas
del cáncer (nos lo en los casos de fuerte historial familiar o en los
estados pre-cancerosos, como se ha declarado algunas veces). La
imagen que el ve con frecuencia es la siguiente:
Antecedente psicótico
Actitud moralista en una persona joven.
Sensible y con tendencia a la ansiedad.
Indeciso con torpeza mental: esfuerzo para pensar.
Dicotomía entre falta de confianza y un elevado estado
moralista con principios firmes, especialmente con un niño o
adolescente.
Muchos temores: pobreza, muerte, de toda clase de tragedias.
Gran deseo de dulces.
Parpadeo de ojos y tics faciales.
Cefalea frontal derecha
Sueño o perturbado.
Scirrhinum
(preparado del cáncer del hígado)
La imagen de Scirrhinum semeja mucho a Phósphoro:
Constitución delgada y friolenta
Fuerte Deseo de bebidas frías
Muchos temores
Síntomas clave (keynote): sensación de hundimiento a nivel del ombligo (Carcinoson,
Kalium carbonicum, Phosphorus).
Sales de Kali
Hay grandes medicinas para el sistema nervioso, donde hay debilidad y
postración; es por lo tanto importante en etapas terminales. Kalium
bromatum es til donde hay secundarios en el cerebro, especialmente si
están produciendo convulsiones.
Opium
Donde hay un dolor extremo y para síntomas que surgen miedo. Opium
es uno de los remedios líderes para el miedo. También para el estupor,
la semi-inconsciencia y sentido de resignación.
Plumbum metallicum y Iodatum
Cáncer del cerebro
Donde hay cíclicos y espasmos, o constipación (es decir, exceso de
actividad o inactividad intestinal).
Parálisis muscular local.
Subluxaciones- dislocaciones repetidas de articulaciones debido a
debilidad muscular.
Ataques con espasmos uniformemente de la cabeza a los pies.
Cansancio físico y mental.
Síntomas de esfuerzo mental. Cáncer del cerebro- si es primario, una
potencia 2000, si es secundario, especialmente con dolor o ataques, use
Plumbum iodatum a la 6x cada hora o dos. Astrocitoma, Glioma y
neoplasmas de la médula espinal.
Radium Bromatum
Un gran remedio para la resequedad y descomposición en tejidos y por
lo tanto es a menudo indicado en post-radioterapia y Para comezón y
ardor muy prominentes.
Sabal serrulata
Hipertrofia prostatica benigna- tintura o 6x cáncer de la próstata o PSA
elevado, potencia 30c en adelante.
Cadmium sulphuricum
Uno de los remedios mas friolentos. Para alivio sintomático de cáncer
del estómago, donde hay asientos de caf o vómito negro. Cadmium
bromatum o Cadmium iodatum, pueden usarse también, especialmente
si el paciente es de sangre caliente. Cadmium iodatum puede emplearse
para la enfermedad de Hodgkin.
Symphytum
Esta medicina tiene una fuerte afinidad con el hueso y puede usarse para
todas las infecciones y cáncer del hueso y periostio. Puede usarse en
osteomielitis con Arsenicum iodatum a la 6x, Sarcomas, tumor de Ewing
y osteoclastoma- un cáncer auto-limitante del hueso que nunca se
extiende.
Terebinthina
Puede ser muy efectiva en el cáncer de la vejiga alta potencia para curar,
baja potencia para alivio sintomático. Muy efectiva para la angurria y
hematuria. (También en un tratamiento muy útil para albuminuria
simple, por ejemplo en un niño con glomerulonefritis).
Thuja
Cáncer de la garganta, faringe, cuerdas vocales, páncreas, recto y
próstata.
› Algunos casos de cáncer tratados por el Dr. A.U. Ramakrisnan
Los siguientes casos se usan como ejemplos para demostrar el protocolo.
Caso 1.
Cáncer del pecho. Mujer de 32 años. Grado1.
Una protuberancia de 2.5 cm de diámetro en el seno derecho,
movimiento libre, sin adenitis. La protuberancia es indolora y dura como
piedra. La paciente rehusa rotundamente la cirugía a pesar de toda clase
de consejo. La paciente resulta ser una típica constitucional de Pulsatilla
(Pueden ser muy testarudas).Tratamiento
Semana 1 Scirrhinum 200c Plus
Semana 2 Conium 200c Plus
Semana 3 Scirrhinum 200c Plus
Semana 4 Conium 200c PlusEl tratamiento continua en esta forma hasta
que a las 8 semanas la protuberancia estaba más suave y ligeramente
más pequeña.Semana 9 y 10 Pulsatilla 200c Plus
Semana 11 La protuberancia esta completamente despejada.Scirrhinum
200c una vez al mes por seis meses. Fin del tratamiento. La paciente ha
estado libre del cáncer desde hace tres años.Este caso muestra el uso de
un remedio orgánico (Coniun), el Nosode apropiado (Scirrhinum) y el
remedio constitucional (Pulsatilla) y el uso posterior del Nosode
(Scinrrhinum) profil prácticamente por algunos meses después de la
eliminación del tumor.El Dr. Ramakrishnan trató este caso en forma por
demás renuente. El esta muy a favor de la cirugía en el grado 1. El
reporte docenas de casos semejantes don dramáticas curaciones de
cáncer.
Caso 2.
Astrocitoma del cerebro que se presenta con una tercera recurrencia
después de tres operaciones. El tumor estaba en el lóbulo frontal sobre
el lado izquierdo. El paciente ha disminuido su memoria de corto
término, mentalidad lenta y movimientos lentos.Prescripción:
Plumbum iodato 200c con Plus alternando con Arcinosin 200c con Plus.
Después de 3 meses, Baryta carbónica 200c cada 2 semanas. Después de
6 meses el tumor ha desaparecido completamente.El paciente
permanece bien 9 años más tarde. El Dr. Ramakrishnan ha tenido mucho
éxito con el astrocitoma del cerebro, incluso en la tercera etapa.
Según su experiencia, los siguientes tipos de cáncer responden bien a la homeopatía:
Arsenicum album
Arsenicum bromatum
Aurum muriaticum
Baryta salts (sales)
Cadmium sulphuricum y otras sales de cadmium
Carcinosinum
Condurango
Conium maculatum
Euphorbium
Hekla lava

sería menos efectivo. Si la quimioterapia se esta dando intermitentemente, es decir,
semanal o bi-semanalmente, entonces el tratamiento Homeopático puede darse en los
días intercalados entre la dosis.
Por esta razón, las dosis intermitentes de quimioterapia son preferibles a la
dosificación continua, por ejemplo con una línea Hickman. Con la radioterapia en el
transcurso de esta, no debe darse el tratamiento Homeopático, sino que debe
empezarse al día siguiente en que termine la radioterapia.

Baryta carbónica y también algunas veces Muriaticum, son igualmente muy efectivas
en el cáncer del cerebro. La Baryta tiene una afinidad con el tejido del cerebro y la sal
Muriaticum es muy buena para restablecer el flujo sanguíneo al cerebro.
– Cáncer de la cavidad oral
90% requieren Aurum muriaticum. El cual tiene una afinidad estupenda con la cavidad
oral.
– Cáncer de pecho
Conium, Scirrhinum.
– Cáncer de la próstata
Conium, Thuja, Sabal serrulata, Hydrangea. A el le gusta Hydrangea como tratamiento
para cáncer de la próstata cuando ha de tratar los cálculos renales y de la vejiga. El Dr.

Muchos temores
Síntomas clave (keynote): sensación de hundimiento a nivel del ombligo (Carcinoson,
Kalium carbonicum, Phosphorus).
Hemorroides y algunas veces una masa hemorroidal necrótica
y crónica.
Afecciones glandulares.
Síntomas clave: glándulas y protuberancias que están duras
como piedra (Conium).
Venas varicosas y ulceras varicosas dolorosas.
Ascórides en los niños (salen hacia fuera de 5 a 6 p.m., no
durante la noche y causa gran comezón).
Baryta Iodata
Un tratamiento glandular muy importante y por lo tanto efectivo donde
los ganglios linfáticos están involucrados. Es de uso especial en la post-
mastectomía con edema del brazo. Baryta iodata es efectiva porque el
componente de Baryta tiene afinidad con las glándulas y el componente
de Iodata es efectivo para la infección. Puede ser posible solo para
paliar.
Sanguinaria
Es otra medicina para el estasis linfático y desordenes circulatorios en
general.
Arsenicum bromatum
Un gran remedio para la piel infectada. Arsenicum tiene una afinidad y
Bromatum (como con los otros halógenos) tiene afinidad para las
infecciones.
Los bromuros u los halógenos son generalmente grandes tratamientos
para glándulas, infecciones e induración en los senos y otro tejido. Si las
induraciones están calcificadas, use Calcárea flúorica.
También esta indicado Arsenicum bromatum en el linfoma de Hodgkin.
Aurum muriaticum
Una afinidad muy fuerte con el cáncer de la boca. También puede usarse
para tratar la leucoplasia (una condición pre-cancerosa de la boca).
También para el Lichen Planus, que es potencialmente canceroso y se
encuentra tanto en la boca como en la piel.
Conium maculatum
Cuando hay glándulas como piedra (Scirrhinum) en cáncer del pecho,
hígado, próstata, esófago y glándulas en cualquier parte. Casi específico
cuando est elevado el PSA. Conium es el tratamiento como ancla de la
esperanza en el cáncer de la próstata (el siguiente es Sabal serrulata)
Conium y el hígado
Conium tiene una fuerte afinidad con el hígado, posiblemente porque el
hígado es un órgano duro y la dureza es la esencia de Conium. Puede
usarse tratar la n adiposa del hígado, cirrosis alcohólica y no alcohólica,
tumores benignos en el hígado y hepatomegalia.
Euphorbium officinalis
Muchos pacientes de cáncer tienen dolor severo y Euphorbium es un
tratamiento muy efectivo para dolores quemantes muy severos, que se
alivian por medio de aplicaciones frías. Euphorbium es un paciente
friolento. El dolor quemante puede ser debido a un proceso gangrenoso
interno. Debe darse a la 6x o 12x o en tintura, con frecuencia de una a
dos horas.
Hekla lava
(Contiene Sílica, Alímina, Magnesium, Oxido de hierro y Carbonato de
calcio). Para sarcomas, mielomas malignos, enfermedad de anguila,
algunas leucemias, exostosis, espolón calcíneo, pulís (un crecimiento del
proceso angular de la mandíbula superior o inferior- también y los
crecimientos óseos en el cráneo).
Hydrastis
Un tratamiento muy importante para el cáncer. Tyler lo resalta como
muy importante para estados precancerosos. Para cáncer del estomago
y para el que afecta generalmente al tracto intestinal. Es a menudo útil
donde se desconoce el primario y hay muchos síntomas estomacales.
También cubren bien al sistema respiratorio.
Imagen sintomática
Lengua flácida, sensación de vacío en el estomago, todas las
descargas son pótridas casi como pus y aliento muy fátido.
Hydrastis es muy bueno para tumores infectados.
En este caso dar una 30c cuatro veces diarias por una semana y luego reconsiderar.
Sales de Kali
Hay grandes medicinas para el sistema nervioso, donde hay debilidad y
postración; es por lo tanto importante en etapas terminales. Kalium
bromatum es til donde hay secundarios en el cerebro, especialmente si
están produciendo convulsiones.

Las heridas donde cicatriza la caléndula. se puede describir vívidamente de varias maneras. Yo
Como decir que "se ven como
como arañazos de gatos" - rojo, hinchado, sensible, infectado. Un veterinario holístico de Atlanta,
Georgia, una vez me escuchó mencionar esto en un grupo de estudio, y me preguntó
Obtenga una botella grande con el Tintura para la clínica veterinaria. Fue galardonado con un éxito
sobresaliente en el Personal desplegado.
¿Quién hizo mucho piragüismo o con Si otros barcos han estado en camino, sabrá cortes que
repetidamente han entrado en contacto con el agua y luego se vuelven rojos y también
son muy sensibles, y hinchar. Incluso con estas heridas, la caléndula es pronunciada curativo.
Parece eliminar la retención de líquidos (o »Humedad«
Observaciones cuidadosas de la por la caléndula mejores tipos de curación de heridas nos vamos a
la concluir que la planta limpia la herida "de adentro hacia afuera", o En otras palabras, lo hace a
través de los vasos linfáticos ubicados debajo de la piel. Ese también explica por qué la caléndula
funciona tan bien en heridas que están cerradas o estar expuesto al agua.
El »sol vegetal« Ayuda a reducir los »charcos de agua« acumulados por estancamiento en el flujo
de linfa o secar y desinfectar la "humedad" debajo de la piel.
Esto también se refiere a la uso tradicional de la caléndula como remedio para el sistema linfático,
y el sistema inmunológico.
Cierto debilitamiento de la Se dan defensas. Aunque la planta está en el homeopático Los ensayos
de medicamentos causaron fiebre y escalofríos, nunca los he usado en Agudo

Tengo buenos recuerdos de Casos en los que la caléndula ha tenido el mismo efecto. Uno Un
mecánico de automóviles de treinta y cuatro años me buscó una vez junto con su Él y su hijo de un
año y medio, para quien estaba buscando una cura. El hijo sufría de tos recurrente acompañada de
Sonajeros de limo. Su decoloración ligeramente azulada alrededor del

gente cada vez en un lugar diferente y traquetea solo con el limo,
De hecho, pude ver la hinchazón siente a través de su camisa. Él y su esposa estaban asustados.
Hace tres años Durante años, le habían extirpado los ganglios linfáticos del cuello porque estaba
lesionado en el Enfermedad de Hodgkin (cáncer de ganglios linfáticos). Su último anual No había
asistido a un chequeo. »Deja que esto ¡Realice un examen en cualquier caso!", lo presioné. Sin

Tal vez los ganglios linfáticos son solo hinchazón porque los ganglios linfáticos restantes son
particularmente fuertes están agobiados o generalmente experimentan quejas en el área de los
vasos linfáticos inclinar. Pero incluso si es algo peor, el ¡Ayuda de caléndula!" Afortunadamente,
resultó que el viejo sufrimiento no había vuelto a estallar y no se habían formado tumores
malignos y que la caléndula eliminó la hinchazón y también el agotamiento y la decoloración

Finalmente, también tuve un Caso que nos lleva de nuevo a un comentario anterior. Un poco Una
mujer reservada y modesta de unos veinte años me habló en el Remedios naturales Farmacia
y dijo que tenía un Queja en un lugar »donde no penetra la luz del sol«. Ella quiso decir su flujo

un problema en un lugar donde No penetra la luz del sol". Le grité esto con una voz un poco más
fuerte, como nuestro cliente. Le dimos caléndula, y cuando el problema desapareció Ella nos había
perdonado.
Defensas débiles
Ahora vamos gradualmente a antigua práctica inglesa de agregar flores de caléndula a la sopa en
invierno, apreciar el conocimiento.

tiene un invierno húmedo y frío con poco sol. Tal vez esto encaje

general. Lo sé En cualquier caso, que ciertamente sería más feliz si tuviera algo Las flores de

zusätzliche Anwendungsbereiche, die nun natürlich der Überprüfung und Bestätigung bedürfen.
Besonders fällt hier der Anteil der Symptome auf, die eine verbesserte Motivation, Heiterkeit,
Gelassenheit, besseres Arbeitsverhalten beschreiben. Insofern scheint Calendula ein sehr
„lächelndes“ Mittel zu sein, ganz im Gegensatz zum in der vorliegenden Materia Medica
beschriebenen mürrisch-reizbaren Grundzug bei Verletzungen. Man denkt dabei sofort an jene
Patienten, die bei der Anamnese über ihre Leiden berichten und dennoch lächeln, gelassen sind,
scheinbar unberührt von ihrer Krankheit. Diese Unangemessenheit des Ausdrucks der eigenen
Beschwerden ist aufgrund des vorliegenden Materials sicher ein wichtiger Aspekt, der sich
andeutet. Wie so oft scheint auch hier der polare Wesenszug auf, das plötzliche Absinken der
Motivation, die unvermutete emotionale Schwäche den täglichen Obliegenheiten gegenüber, das
Gefühl, sich bei seinen Tätigkeiten verlangsamt oder wie unter Drogen stehend zu fühlen.
Hierzu sei noch eine Anmerkung gemacht, die von einem Prüfer stammt, der
sozusagen ausser Konkurrenz als nichtärztlicher Proband an der Prüfung teilnehmen wollte und
Calendula erhalten hatte.
Er verspürte unmittelbar nach Beginn der Prüfung den dringenden Wunsch, nach Hause zu seiner
Ursprungsfamilie zu fahren, um alte, plötzlich wieder erinnerte Verletzungen zu klären, sie mit
seinen
Verwandten zu besprechen, ohne Hass oder Ressentiment, mit der einfachen und ehrlichen
Absicht, die alten Wunden sozusagen an die Oberfläche zu holen und heilen zu lassen. Vielleicht
liegt hier eines der Kernthemen von Calendula, das ja als Verletzungsmittel für oberflächliche
Schürfungen, Wunden mit Substanzdefekten vor allem eingesetzt wird: Das Ausheilen alter
Wunden, die aus der Tiefe des Unterbewusstseins an die Oberfläche steigen (Nat-m./Staph.),
sodass sie ans Licht geführt der sanften Behandlung und Ausheilung zugänglich werden. Dieser
Proband muss seine Familienmitglieder mit seiner Ankunft zuerst ziemlich erschreckt haben und
nicht jeder ging erfreut auf seine Versuche der Bearbeitung alter Familienfehden ein. Für ihn aber
geschah, was er sich schon oft gewünscht hatte:
Mit vielen alten Verletzungen konnte er erneute Bekanntschaft und endlich auch
Frieden schliessen.
Er kam innerlich lächelnd von seiner spontanen Reise in die Vergangenheit zurück.
Wie viele Patienten kreuzen unseren Weg, die alte Wunden und Verletzungen in sich
herumtragen, an deren Folgen sie bis heute tragen, und die uns lächelnd und scheinbar ungerührt
von solchen Ereignissen berichten, als ob sie sie nichts angingen. Wenn sie aber an die Oberfläche
kommen, können sie sichtbar werden, ausheilen und diese Menschen in ein leichteres Jetzt
führen.
Separation from mother and child. Calen has a strong affinity to the reproductive regions).
(Calen has “As if something alive in the womb”).
Suppression of emotions is a key factor in the development of Cancer and this brings us back to
the deobstruent qualities of Calendula - that of being able to unblock, to let a free passage or flow
go forth. It is this that gives Calendula its essential characteristics - to remove the obstruction
causing pain, to soothe and restore without any scarring, physically, mentally and emotionally
(blinded by false communication.
Pain is excessive and out of all proportion” (someone is almost hysterical with the pain/cannot
tolerate being hurt/SENsitive to pain: mental/physical/emotional).
Used in the treatment of Bulimia - where the emotional hurt turns inward and the individual
‘chooses’ to destroy themselves. This is a good example of the mind betraying the body.
It gets to be too much to bear so an outburst of irritation sort of transfers the sensation
elsewhere. Being a Heliotrope (moves with the sun)/relieved from this sensitivity by walking
around a lot - again it distracts. <<< damp and cloudy weather when they can’t see the light, and
so much >>> for the radiance of the sun. Hearing ACUTE (slightest noise startles).
Kent: “The proving of Calen is nearly worthless that we cannot expect at present to use it as a
guide to the internal administration of the remedy. There are only a few things that I have ever
been able to get out of it.

wounds. Calen is all the dressing you will need for open wounds and severe lacerations. It takes
away the local pain and suffering. You may easily see we are not now dealing
with a condition that exists because of a state within the economy, but because of something that
is without. There is nothing that will cause these external injuries to heal so beautifully as the
Marigold.

Positive qualities: Healing warmth and receptivity, especially in the use of the spoken word and in
dialogue with others.
The Calendula flower imparts a warm, golden light of healing for those souls who must learn to
use "the Word" as a truly creative spiritual force. The Word (or Logos) is the source of all creation,
ever renewing itself through
the womb of Nature. Thus Calendula is also known as "Mary's Gold;" for the golden sun-radiance
of the Word must be birthed through the receptive feminine matrix. In every human
communication there is always this
masculine and feminine polarity, of that which is spoken and that which is heard, or received.
Calendula flower essence helps those whose innate creative potential to use the spoken word
often deteriorates into argument and misunderstanding. Specially indicated for personal
relationship work, and for all healing and teaching work when the art of communication must be
intensively developed as a soul force.
Calendula gives great forces of warmth and benign compassion to the human soul (to balance the
active and receptive modes of communication).
Flower Essence Repertory, Part III. Flower Essence Qualities and Portraits - Patricia Kaminski and
Richard Katz.
Such are the expressive qualities of one of our most well known homeopathic remedies, and
maybe they are suggestive of how powerful and deep acting this remedy could be. There is
creativity, birth, language, receptivity, communication, spiritual forces and benign compassion - all
contained within the healing properties of this remedy.
Calendula was first used as a deobstruent - to relieve the obstruction, to unblock, to let the free
passage of expression flow forth - not just of speech but for the birthing of all ideas. As
Homeopaths we all know what can
happen when these acts of creativity are suppressed or thwarted, when our natural inclinations
are deviated into disease. It becomes the first instance of pathology.
My interest in Calendula is many fold - apart from the wide and varied physical applications it is
the lack of real depth in the mental and emotional symptoms which are presented in
the Materia Medicas; the link this remedy
has with Cancer and the fact that it has only been partially proved, which really stir my
imaginations.
There are many reasons why substances have been chosen for provings and much has to do with
how that substance has been used historically. Plenty of scope here for Calendula then.
Dioscorides: Cancer;
Fuchsius: Toothache.
Westring: Calendula was formerly much requested as a medicine and was used more especially in
carcinoma and scirrhus with great effect in the third stage particularly in diminishing the pain and
rendering the pus less
corroding. It was also used in chlorosis, hysteria, epilepsy, jaundice and some kinds of dropsy.
Many found it of great efficacy as a lotion to fresh wounds, inducing union by the first intention.
Zorn considered it of great service in throwing out the eruption of measles and small-pox, and as
an application to stop the
bleeding of haemorrhoids.
Used for obstinate vomiting, cardialgia, diseases of the glands, compound fractures, amputations,
suppurating abscesses, and violent pains of the uterus.
“Modern” usage: gangrene, fractures, sprains, herpetic eruptions, eczema, nasal catarrh, blisters
on tongue, syphilitic ozaena, gonorrhea, non-specific urethritis, uterine subinvolution,
engorgement of uterine walls, uterine hypertrophy, suppressed menses, menorrhagia,
chronic cervicitis, warts on the cervix, swelling of the breasts without pain, gout of the
spine, spina bifida, one sided paralysis, coma, concussion, swollen glands, toothache,
haemorrhages, septicemia, injuries to the eyes, diplopia, insect stings (antidote to Apis), open
wounds, burns and life threatening injuries involving the skin, tendons, cellular tissues and
muscles - healing without leaving
any scars. "Calendula is the greatest non-poisonous germicide, antiseptic, reliever of pain and
healer of wounds that has ever been brought into use". Dr. W. M. Gregory in Eclectic Medical
Journal.
There are also some rather more unusual symptoms worth noting - deafness, where one can hear
better on a train, or hear distant sounds better, cannot hear 2 people talking together - the pains
are excessive and out of
proportion to the injury suffered - bulimia (and maybe other eating disorders) - and stabbing pains
from within to without, like being stabbed in the back!
Calendula Officinalis or, the common marigold, is familiar to everyone, with its pale green leaves
and golden orange flowers. It is said to bloom in the calends of every month, hence its Latin name.
Many think it was named after the Virgin Mary, but this came later and it is actually a corruption of
the Anglo-Saxon merso-meargealla, the Marsh Marigold.
Marigold was just one of the flowers associated with Mary, the mother of Jesus - you will see her
dresses adorned with them and it was the flower used at the Feast of the Annunciation of the
Virgin, and she was honoured as the House of Gold because in her the Blessed Trinity performed
such great and wonderful things. This may or may not be religious idealism and regardless of one's
own religious feelings the virtuous story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, really is an idealism that is
hard to live up to. Pregnant before marriage, had several children, one of which she had to witness
exaltation of, intense prejudice and suspicion towards and finally observed his painful execution
and disappearance of his remains. Whether she witnessed this with silent dignity, humility or
outrage we do not know but she surely suffered one of the worse possible woundings - that of
losing a child.
Little is known about how Mary herself died but my thoughts lead easily towards Cancer. Maybe
she experienced an overwhelming sense of gloom and doom which is associated with this remedy.
And also that of separation, from her child.
This is another theme running through Calendula. A physical wounding involves separation of the
tissues and an emotional wounding can leave many scars and equally requires the reunion of
harmonious forces. It would also be very interesting to know if she suffered any diseases of the
reproductive organs (as Calendula has such a strong affinity to these regions) and whether the so
called 'virgin birth' had any relevance in this. (Calendula has 'sensation
Suppression of emotions is a key factor in the development of Cancer and this brings us back to
the deobstruent qualities of Calendula - that of being able to unblock, to let a free passage or flow
go forth. It is this that gives Calendula its essential characteristics - to remove the obstruction
causing pain, to soothe and restore without any scarring, physically, mentally and emotionally. It
restores the vision when we have been blinded by false communication.
It mystifies and arouses dread. Just the confirmation of the diagnosis can worsen the condition. It
is looked upon as a form of contamination; the body is suffering an invasion and is under attack
and thus requires a treatment which provides an adequate counter-attack; evil and slow but
uncontrollable growths which one can either fight or succumb to; it is seen as a form of
punishment "why me?"; cancer 'spreads'; tumours are usually excised leaving a mutilated body;
other treatments are often worse than the disease itself; people with cancer are often lied to; rich
countries have high rates of cancer; it is a disease associated with affluence and excess; cancer is a
judgement on the individual as well as on the community - the mind eventually betrays the body.
In her book 'Illness As Metaphor', Susan Sontag writes about the notion of disease fitting the
patient's character: "Disease can be challenged by the will. 'The will exhibits itself as organized
body,' wrote Schopenhauer, but he denied that the will itself could be sick.
Recovery from a disease depends on the will assuming 'dictatorial power in order to subsume the
rebellious forces' of the body. One generation earlier, a great physician, Bichat, had used a similar
image, calling health 'the silence of organs,' disease 'their revolt'. Disease is what speaks through
the body, a language for dramatizing the mental: a form of self-expression."
Sontag includes Auden's cute poem about Miss Gee, written in the 1930's (just 2 verses here):
Foiled creative fire is just one obstruence that Calendula could heal, given the chance.
Sontag also concludes that "the cancer personality is regarded with condescension, as one of life's
losers. Napoleon, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert A. Taft and Hubert Humphrey have all had their cancer
diagnosed as the reaction to political defeat and the curtailing of their ambitions. And the cancer
deaths of those harder to describe as losers, like Freud and Wittgenstein,
have been diagnosed as the gruesome penalty exacted for a lifetime of instinctual renunciation.
Few remember that Rimbaud died of cancer)."
the safety net - this reminds one of Veratrum, but Veratrum develops a highly delusional state to
compensate for the loss - Calendula becomes scarred and riddled with Cancer.
There is a great sense of weight, of burdens, of dark clouds hanging over, gloom and doom, a deep
depression where they cannot see the light. An overwhelming sense that something bad is going
With this there is a sense of dullness and a dreamy state which can alternate with nervousness,
anxiety and irritability or of being morose and taciturn. They carry with them a sense of separation
- when wounds cannot be healed, when union cannot be effected. There is also a sense of being
torn and jagged, as if beaten. Exhaustion results and there is some relief from sleep, but it is not a
sleep of any great quality - restless at night, wakes screaming, continual waking, general lassitude
prevails. Calendula contains much nitrogen, phosphoric acid and iodine which might explain some
of these disparate states.
Calendula also has:- "Pain is excessive and out of all proportion" - so you can picture someone who
is almost hysterical with the pain, who cannot tolerate being hurt, so very sensitive to pain
whether it be mental, physical or emotional. It is very interesting that Calendula has been used in
the treatment of Bulimia - where the emotional hurt turns inward and the individual 'chooses' to
destroy themselves.
Irritability is another strong emotion - it comes down again to this extreme, 'out of proportion'
sensitivity It gets to be too much to bear so an outburst of irritation sort of transfers the sensation
elsewhere. Being a Heliotrope, always moving with the sun, you can see how they are relieved
from this sensitivity by walking around a lot - again it distracts. They are also so much <<< for
damp and cloudy weather when they can't see the light, and so much >>> for the radiance of the
sun. The hearing is very acute and sensitive so even the slightest noise can startle them - they hear
and
Article by the Editor of the Hom. World, in the Homoeopathic Recorder, May, 1891, Vol. VI, No. 3:
"The other day I was told by a friend that he had, last autumn, chewed a Calendula leaf for
a few minutes; the effect was most marked and very striking. It entirely removed for some days
the difficulty in making water, with which he had long been troubled, and which is so common in
elderly people. I have a suspicion myself that Calendula affects the spinal chord, from certain
unpleasant feelings which I have when making it from the fresh plant." - C.W. To the foregoing the
Editor of Hom. World appends the following note: In response to our request for a fuller
description of these feelings our contributor replies that the symptom was very difficult to
describe: "
There was such a feeling as if some overwhelming calamity was hovering over me as to be almost
unbearable.
3 years ago, just after making the tincture, my old enemy, the gout, nipped me in the middle of the
spine, and in three days spoiled all my powers of walking; and then the dreadful feeling became
very much exaggerated."
"The proving of Calendula is so nearly worthless that we cannot expect at present to use it as a
guide to the internal administration of the remedy. There are only a few things that I have been
able
In injuries Calendula cannot be ignored, in cuts with laceration, surface or open injuries. Dilute
Calendula used locally will keep the wound odorless, will reduce the amount of pus,
and favor granulation in the very best possible manner, and thus it assists the surgeon in healing
up surface wounds. Calendula is all the dressing you will need for open wounds and severe
lacerations.
It takes away the local pain and suffering. You may easily see we are not now dealing with a
condition that exists because of a state within the economy, but because of something that is
without. There is nothing that will cause these external injuries to heal so beautifully as the
Marigold. Some will say it is not homeopathic, but these are the individuals who "strain at a gnat
and swallow
a camel." If there are constitutional symptoms suspend all medicated dressing entirely and pay
your whole attention to the constitutional symptoms. Sometimes there are no constitutional
symptoms to prescribe on, but when they are present resort locally to cleanliness and nothing
else. Do not suppress symptoms that you will need to guide you to a remedy."
One might argue that we do have enough of a full symptom picture for Calendula but I would like
to encourage a new proving, to absolutely confirm the symptom picture of Calendula and give it its
proper hierarchy in the Repertories and Materia Medicas - even if it is just for wounded parents
who have lost a child.

Spirituality + cancer
Positive Changes, Increased Spiritual Importance, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine
(CAM) Use Among Cancer Survivors
"our study offers important insights into the spiritual experience following cancer among a large
sample of survivors with different tumor types. Positive changes are common among survivors,
even among those living with cancer...The strong relationship between CAM use and spiritual
transformation also suggests that allowing individuals to participate in therapies more aligned with
their spiritual orientation to health may have a positive impact for their illness trajectory“.
"Despite its limitations, we believe that our study reports interesting data on the potentials of
Bojungikki-tang to be used for cancer-related fatigue and to improve quality of life in cancer
patients"
Glioblastoma + Cannabidiols
"The treatment of glioblastoma cells with both compounds led to significant modulations of the
cell cycle and induction of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis as well as specific modulations of
extracellular signal-regulated kinase and caspase activities. These specific changes were not
observed with either compound individually, indicating that the signal transduction pathways
affected by the combination treatment were unique. Our results suggest that the addition of
cannabidiol to Δ9-THC may improve the overall effectiveness of Δ9-THC in the treatment of
glioblastoma in cancer patients“.
Calcitriol in cancer treatment: From the lab to the clinic "1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol), the
most active metabolite of vitamin D, has significant antineoplastic activity in preclinical models.
Several mechanisms of activity have been proposed. These include inhibition of proliferation
associated with cell cycle arrest and, in some models, differentiation, reduction in invasiveness and
angiogenesis, and induction of apoptosis. Proposed mechanisms differ between tumor models and
experimental conditions, and no unifying hypothesis about the mechanism of antineoplastic
activity has emerged.....Further work is needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of
antineoplastic activity and optimal clinical applications of calcitriol in cancer. "
Esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer and hepatoma and Archidendron lucidum (Benth.)
Anti-tumor effect of Archidendron lucidum (Benth.) against esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer
and hepatoma

"These results suggest that GJH extract has a synergistic effect on apoptosis induced by
chemotherapeutic agents and an inhibitory effect on cell adhesion, migration, and invasion,
providing evidence for the use of water-based extracts of GJH as novel alternative therapeutic
agents in the treatment of human renal cancer“.
Leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, brain cancer, melanoma and skin, lung, prostate,
breast, ovarian, liver, gastrointestinal, pancreatic and colorectal epithelial cancers + Curcumin
Potential applications of curcumin and its novel synthetic analogs and nanotechnology-based
formulations in cancer prevention and therapy
"Curcumin has attracted great attention in the therapeutic arsenal in clinical oncology due to its
chemopreventive, antitumoral, radiosensibilizing and chemosensibilizing activities against various
types of aggressive and recurrent cancers. These malignancies include leukemias, lymphomas,
multiple myeloma, brain cancer, melanoma and skin, lung, prostate, breast, ovarian, liver,
gastrointestinal, pancreatic and colorectal epithelial cancers. Curcumin mediates its anti-
proliferative, anti-invasive and apoptotic effects on cancer cells, including cancer stem/progenitor
cells and their progenies, through multiple molecular mechanisms.
..Taken together, these studies carried out in the last ten years have indicated that curcumin may
act on multiple oncogenic targets frequently deregulated in cancer cells, including cancer
stem/progenitor cells with stem cell-like properties, during the progression of most human
aggressive cancers"
"Oral administration of Curcuma longa ethanolic or water extract (200 mg/kg) prior to doxorubicin
produced a significant protection which was evidenced by significant reduction in mortality, CK-
MB and LDH -activities. Moreover, they significantly increased GSH markedly, decreased cardiac
calcium, and cardiac and serum MDA. In addition, both extracts significantly reduced serum nitric
oxide, increased cardiac ascorbic acid, and ameliorated the antioxidant enzymes activities. In
conclusion, Curcuma longa extracts renders resiliency against doxorubicin cardiotoxicity due to
their contents of polyphenolic compounds that might serve as novel adjuvant therapy with
doxorubicin“.
"In summary, this study evaluates a non-toxic, widely available nutritional supplement that offers
long term radioprotective effects in the setting of thoracic radiotherapy. Potential mechanisms of
the effects of prolonged FS feeding include altering immediate XRT-induced markers of lung
damage, creating a baseline radioprotective state prior to XRT, and providing high levels of
circulating antioxidants from the continued metabolism is of bioactive lignans“.
"In this study, stimulation of the immune system by R. korthalsii methanol extract had significant
effects on proliferation, NK cell population, and cytokine expression in the host, which further
enhanced the cytolytic activity of the immune cells. Up till now, 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) is the
only compound successfully isolated from R. korthalsii. However, role of DHI on the
immunomodulatory effect of R. korthalsii methanol extract and the other potential active
secondary metabolites that play an important role in this immunostimulatory effect are still
unknown. Thus, future study should focus on isolation and evaluation of active metabolites from
the extract that contributes to the immunomodulatory effect against the NK cell“.
NB lycopene is responsible for the red pigmentation of ripe tomatoes and some other edible fruits
such as watermelon and papaya.
Antiproliferative activity of different extracts from Daphne altaica Pall. on selected cancer cells
"The results of this study represent the first evidence that barks of D. altaica possess effective
antiproliferative activities on human cancer cells. Future phytochemical investigations on this
medicinal plant should be encouraged“.

Lapachol: an overview
"Lapachol is a naphthoquinone that was first isolated by E. Paterno from Tabebuia avellanedae
Thymoquinone rich fraction from Nigella sativa and thymoquinone are cytotoxic towards colon
and leukemic carcinoma cell lines
"In conclusion, this study indicates that TQRF and TQ possess cytotoxic properties against
colorectal cancer and showed more prominent cytotoxic effects on leukemic cell lines. In spite of
TQ, TQRF was also has potential to be used as anti-cancer treatment. Therefore, TQRF from N.
sativa does have the potential to be developed as a nutraceuticals for preventing the progression
of cancer“.
"In this study, we report for the first time that the combination of a fish oil diet rich in n-3 PUFA
and tamoxifen seemed to inhibit N-methyl-N-nitrosourea–induced mammary carcinogenesis,
tumor multiplicity, and volume to a greater extent than the individual interventions. The potential
superiority of the combination was particularly evident at a suboptimal dose of tamoxifen, which,
by itself, was unable to significantly decrease tumor development. Because activation of PPARγ is
known to inhibit oxidative stress, we examined the effects of our interventions on circulating and
tumor levels of glutathione, a major intracellular antioxidant. Our results indicate that reduction in
the level of oxidative stress may be a potential mechanism by which the n-3 PUFA–rich diet
potentiated the tumor-suppressive effect of tamoxifen. Our interventions were well tolerated
without evidence of toxicity. Combined administration of tamoxifen and n-3 PUFA is a promising
new approach to breast cancer prevention. Because of its safety, this combination can quickly be
translated to the clinic if its superiority can be supported by future studies“.
Synergistic Effects of Combined Phytochemicals and Skin Cancer Prevention in SENCAR Mice
" In conclusion, all combinations showed either additive or synergistic effects and their joint
actions allowed for decreasing the doses of the compounds. Especially, resveratrol combinations
with ellagic acid, grape seed extract, and other phytochemicals are very potent inhibitors of skin
tumorgenesis, based on the suppression of epidermal hyperplasia as well as on the modulation of
intermediate biomarkers of cell proliferation, cell survival, inflammation, oncogene mutation, and
apoptosis“.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant that is commonly found in many plants. Red wine, peanuts, grapes
and blueberries are some of its rich and popular sources.
Skin cancer + foods containing alkaloids (caffeine), EGEC (green tea), flavanols (cocoa), genistein
(soybean), Pycnogenol and more
"Various phytochemicals protect plants and animals against the damaging effects of UV radiation.
They all invoke multiple protective mechanisms, in many ways representing a critical feature in the
efforts to develop protective strategies against a carcinogen that exerts multiple damaging effects.
The use of agents based on some of the phytochemicals that were discussed here and the
identification of new and more potent analogues, in addition to common sunscreens, are areas of
development that have the potential to reduce the risk of skin cancer“.
Dietary Cancer Chemopreventive Agents – Targeting Inflammation and Nrf2 Signaling Pathway
dietary vegetables and fruits have been regarded as rich sources of chemopreventive agents.
Food phytochemicals such as curcumin, EGCG, resveratrol, genistein and isothiocyanates, with
strong anti-inflammatory activity, have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in preclinical animal
models. Epidemiological studies have clearly documented that the frequent consumption of a diet
high in fruits and vegetables has been linked to a lower risk of many types of cancers including
prostate, colon, oral cavity, stomach, lung and esophagus"
Nrf2 as a Master Redox Switch in Turning on the Cellular Signaling Involved in the Induction of
Cytoprotective Genes by Some Chemopreventive Phytochemicals
"The activation of Nrf2-ARE signaling by dietary inducers will fortify cellular defense against
oxidative, electrophilic and inflammatory stresses which are broadly implicated in multi-stage
carcinogenesis"
Effects of Triterpenoid Glycosides from Fresh Ginseng Berry on SW480 Human Colorectal Cancer
Cell Line
"AGBE and ginsenosides Rb3, Re, and Rg3 possessed significant antiproliferative effects and
induced changes of morphological appearance on SW480 cells. The mechanisms of the
antiproliferation of AGBE and tested ginsenosides involved could be cell cycle arrest and induction
of apoptosis“.
Antiproliferation and cell apoptosis inducing bioactivities of constituents from Dysosma versipellis
in PC3 and Bcap-37 cell lines
"This study suggests that most of the compounds from the roots of D. versipellis could inhibit the
growth of human carcinoma cells. In addition, PTO and DDPT could induce apoptosis of tumor
cells“.
Antrodia camphorata extract induces replicative senescence in superficial TCC, and inhibits the
absolute migration capability in invasive bladder carcinoma cells
"We conclude that ACCE can be rather effective and beneficial in suppression of both the
superficial cancer cell line RT4 and the metastatic cell lines (TSGH-8301 and T24) through different
mechanisms"
Ds-echinoside A, a new triterpene glycoside derived from sea cucumber, exhibits antimetastatic
activity via the inhibition of NF-κB-dependent MMP-9 and VEGF expressions
"In conclusion, the present study provides evidence that DSEA possesses marked anti-metastatic
activity. We have shown that DSEA plays a role in the inhibition of Hep G2 cell migration, invasion,
and angiogenesis through suppression of VEGF and MMP-9 and enhancement of TIMP-1 protein
expression by blocking the NF-κB signaling pathway“.

"From the list provided above it is clear that spice-derived phytochemicals have an enormous
potential in the prevention and treatment of cancer. They can induce apoptosis, suppress
proliferation
of tumor cells, inhibit invasion and angiogenesis, and prevent even bone loss. These
phytochemicals mediate their effects through multiple targets and yet pharmacologically they are
highly safe.
More animal studies and clinical trials are needed to prove the usefulness of these agents. Safety,
inexpensive cost, years of intake by humans and their efficacy make them ideal agents. It is not
surprising to note that Vasco de Gama tried to look for these spices almost five centuries ago“.
Cytotoxicity Effects of Amoora rohituka and chittagonga on Breast and Pancreatic Cancer Cells
" For MCF-7 cancer cells, the chittagonga (Pet-Ether and CH2Cl2) and rohituka (Pet-Ether) extracts
induced cytotoxicity; the chittagonga (EtoAC) and rohituka (MeOH) extracts did not induce
cytotoxicity. For HTB126, Panc-1, Mia-Paca2, and Capan-1 cancer cells, only the chittagonga
CH2Cl2 extract showed a significant cytotoxic effect. The extracts were not cytotoxic to normal
fibroblast Hs68 cells, which may be correlated to the specificity of Amoora extracts in targeting
cancerous cells. Based on these results, further examination of the potential anticancer properties
Amoora species and the identification of the active ingredients of these extracts is warranted“.
Polarity Therapy for Cancer-Related Fatigue in Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Radiation

may have antitumor activity in established colorectal cancer“.
Sulforaphane (SFN), a potent cancer preventive agent, a dietary isothiocyanate compound found
as a precursor glucosinolate in cruciferous vegetables (Brussels
sprouts/cauliflower/broccoli/cabbage)
"The Gln supplementation resulted in lower cardiac lipid peroxidation and peroxintrite levels and
elevated cardiac catalase enzyme activity and GSH compared with the controls, without affecting
those of the tumors. DOX-induced alterations of the echocardiographic parameters were
significantly reduced in the Gln-supplemented rats. These data indicate that Gln is able to reduce
the oxidative damage of cardiomyocytes that occurs soon after DOX administration and thus
protects the heart of a tumor-bearing host from DOX-induced cardiomyopathy“.
Dietary flaxseed administered post thoracic radiation treatment improves survival and mitigates
radiation-induced pneumonopathy in mice
Role of cyclin inhibitor protein p21 in the inhibition of HCT116 human colon cancer cell
proliferation by American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and its constituents
"In conclusion, the current study demonstrates that American ginseng extract inhibits proliferation
and cell cycle progression in HCT116 human colon cancer cells through altered expression of key
regulatory proteins, and these actions appear to be dependent on the interaction of both
ginsenoside and polysaccharide components of ginseng extract"
The Aqueous Soluble Polyphenolic Fraction of Psidium guajava Leaves Exhibits Potent Anti-
Angiogenesis and Anti-Migration Actions on DU145 Cells
"We conclude that PE potentially possesses a strong anti-prostate cancer effect. Results suggest
that PE can be used as an effective clinical adjuvant anti-prostate cancer chemopreventive"
"TUNEL assay and flow cytometric analysis also confirmed apoptosis. Furthermore, RT-PCR
analysis showed that harmine induced apoptosis in B16F-10 melanoma cells by up-regulating Bax
and activating Caspase-3, 9 and p53 and down-regulating Bcl-2. Harmine also up-regulated
Caspase-8 and Bid, indicating that harmine affected both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways of
apoptosis. This study also showed inhibitory effects of harmine on some transcription factors and
pro-inflammatory cytokines that protect cell from apoptosis"
Phase I Clinical Study of the Dietary Supplement, Agaricus blazei Murill, in Cancer Patients in

Human urinary bladder cancer T24 cells are susceptible to the Antrodia camphorata extracts
"In conclusion, ACCE is a good anti-cancer agent, being effective in inducing phase G2M arrest,
acting as an anti-proliferative, and an anti-metastatic agent against bladder cancer cell T24 cells"
"In addition, various compounds have been further purified from these extracts, such as
terpenoids, maleic and succinic acids derivatives, polysaccharides, and other compounds, and they
also showed potent cytotoxicity. Besides, T. camphoratus not only has cytotoxic effect but also
produces synergistic anticancer effect with trichostatin A, lovastatin, and taxol. It is concluded that
T. camphoratus could be considered as a potential anticancer agent to make cancer no longer a
frightening nightmare. However, clinical trials of T. camphoratus on human subjects are absent,
and the involved mechanism remains unclear. Hence, further investigations would be required“.
Apoptotic Cell Death and Inhibition of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway in Human Colon Cancer

Prostate cancer + Curcumin
Curcumin is the principal curcuminoid of the popular Indian spice turmeric, which is a member of
the ginger family (Zingiberaceae)
"The ability of curcumin to inhibit tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis, and enhance the
therapeutic potential of TRAIL suggests that curcumin alone or in combination with TRAIL can be
used for prostate cancer prevention and/or therapy“.

Protocol’ induce cell cycle delay/arrest with subsequent apoptosis in breast adenocarcinoma cells.
Though the degree of the antisurvival effect appeared to correlate with the presence of the wild-
type p53 gene, overall susceptibility to the inhibitory effects of the remedies appeared
independent of the functional p53 and estrogen-receptor status of the breast carcinoma cells.
Finally, the preferentially elevated cytotoxic effects on breast adenocarcinoma cells compared
with cells derived from normal mammary epithelium raises the exciting possibility of a window of
therapeutic opportunity for preferentially eliminating breast cancer cells with minimal damage to
the surrounding normal mammary tissue by using the ultra-diluted remedies investigated in this
report. The findings of this study should encourage further preclinical and animal investigation of
these remedies as preventive and/or therapeutic treatments for breast cancer"
The homeopathic medicines used in all eight studies did not seem to cause any serious adverse
effects or interact with conventional treatment"
Ruta 6 selectively induces cell death in brain cancer cells but proliferation in normal peripheral
blood lymphocytes: A novel treatment for human brain cancer
Both in vivo and in vitro results showed induction of survival-signaling pathways in normal
lymphocytes and induction of death-signaling pathways in brain cancer cells. Cancer cell death was
initiated by telomere erosion and completed through mitotic catastrophe events. We propose that
Ruta in combination with Ca3(PO4)2 could be used for effective treatment of brain cancers,
particularly glioma.
Melanoma + Homeopathy
"Co-culture of macrophages with lymphocytes in the presence of the CHM enhanced the anti-
cancer performance of lymphocytes against a very aggressive lineage of melanoma cells. These
results suggest that non-toxic therapies using CHMs are a promising alternative approach to the
treatment of melanomas. In addition, they are attractive combination-therapy candidates, which
may enhance the efficacy of conventional medicines by improving the immune response against
tumor cells
Melanoma + Homeopathy
In vitro and in vivo anticancer properties of a Calcarea carbonica derivative complex (M8)
treatment in a murine melanoma model
"We found that M8 has at least two functions, acting as both an inhibitor of cancer cell adhesion
and invasion and as a perlecan expression antagonist, which are strongly correlated with several
metastatic, angiogenic and invasive factors in melanoma tumors....The findings suggest that this
medication is a promising non-toxic therapy candidate by improving the immune response against
tumor cells or even induce direct dormancy in malignancies".
Effect of Coffee and Green Tea Consumption on the Risk of Liver Cancer: Cohort Analysis by
Hepatitis Virus Infection Status
Compared with almost never drinkers, increased coffee consumption was associated with a
reduced risk of liver cancer in all subjects A similar risk tendency was observed in those with either
or both HCV and HBV infection. In contrast, no association was observed between green tea
consumption and the risk of liver cancer in all subjects. Our results suggest that coffee
consumption may reduce the risk of liver cancer regardless of HCV and HBV infection status,
whereas green tea may not reduce this risk
Tea Intake and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin: Influence of Type of Tea Beverages
"Adjusting for brewing time, the association between skin SCC and hot black tea consumption

First isolation and characterization of a novel lectin with potent antitumor activity from a Russula
mushroom.
"In summary, a lectin with a distinctive N-terminal sequence, sugar specificity, hemagglutinating
activity with relatively high thermostability and [Cu.sup.2+] -induced enhancement, and potent
antiproliferative and antitumor activities was isolated from R. lepida fruiting bodies. The potent
antitumor activity of RLL is remarkable and hopefully it can be developed into an agent for cancer
therapy. This report represents an addition to the existing list of mushroom lectins".

Ocimum gratissimum Aqueous Extract Induces Apoptotic Signalling in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cell
A549
"In conclusion, the present study provides evidences that OGE treatments significantly alter
viability of lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells through a synergy of induction of apoptotic signaling
and suppression of antiapoptotic signaling, as shown in Figure 7. Moreover, OGE treatment
simultaneously inhibits the activation of ERK and enhances the activation of JNK and p38, which is
consistent with the enhanced apoptotic signaling and reduced antiapoptotic signaling based on
their well-known effects on these signal cascades (Figure 7). By manipulating both arms of
apoptotic and antiapoptotic pathway, OGE represents a promisingly effective chemopreventive
agent against lung adenocarcinoma“.
Kampō (or Kanpō) medicine is the Japanese study and adaptation of Traditional Chinese medicine.
"Recently, a greater emphasis has been given towards the researches on complementary and
alternative medicine that deals with cancer management. Plants have long history of use in the
treatment of cancer. Medicinal plants maintain the health and vitality of individuals, and also cure
various diseases, including cancer without causing toxicity. Plants derived components have
played an important role in the development of several clinically useful anticancer agents. In
different region of Chhattisgarh many traditional healers use various medicinal plants for treating
of various cancer. This review revealed that many of medicinal plants used by traditional healer
are reported to have scientific evidence. There is a need to explore the plants which are not
reported scientifically by in-vitro or in-vivo screening methods. These plants can provide potential
bioactive compounds for the development of new ‘leads’ to combat cancer diseases"

Chemistry and Cancer Preventing Activities of Ginseng Saponins and Some Related Triterpenoid
Compounds
"Anti-tumor activities are the properties characteristic not only to Ginseng saponins but also to
other pentacyclic triterpenes.It is noteworthy, however, that ginsenosides, tetracyclic
dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins, could be applied safely due to their mostly non-toxic and
non-hemolytic characteristics. Ginseng has been employed in Chinese medicine and folklore
medicine in the Eastern Asia regions without any noticeable side effects for more than 2000 yr.
Apart from triterpenoid saponins in ginseng, acetylenic alcohol obtained from Ginseng, especially
panaxytriol, showed anti-cancer activity against melanoma B16 when intramuscularly
administered".

Yoga for Persistent Fatigue in Breast Cancer Survivors: Results of a Pilot Study
There was a significant improvement in fatigue scores from pre- to post-intervention that was
maintained at the 3-month post-intervention followup. Significant improvements were also
observed in measures of physical function, depressed mood, and quality of life. These results
support the acceptability of this intervention and suggest that it may have beneficial effects on
persistent post-treatment fatigue. However, results require replication in a larger randomized
controlled trial.
Psorinum Therapy in Treating Stomach, Gall Bladder, Pancreatic, and Liver Cancers: A Prospective
Clinical Study
The limitation of this study is that it did not have any placebo or treatment control arm; therefore,
it cannot be concluded that Psorinum Therapy is effective in improving the survival and the quality
of life of the participants due to the academic rigours of the scientific clinical trials. This study also
cannot rule out the effects of the implemented allopathic and homeopathic supportive measures
in the observed results. However, the results of the study showed a fair number of complete and
partial tumor responses along with impressive survival outcomes in difficult to treat cancer types.
Therefore, randomized double-blind clinical trial, detailed molecular, pharmacokinetics, and
pharmacodynamics studies should be conducted for further scientific exploration of this
alternative cancer treatment to determine if it can be integrated into the mainstream oncology.

Foodstuffs for Preventing Cancer: The Preclinical and Clinical Development of Berries
"The objective of this approach is to selectively kill specific types of cancer cells with minimal
effects on their normal counterparts. In contrast, berry powders contain a mixture of compounds
that seem to affect the expression levels of a wide range of cancer-related genes (to lesser extents
than therapeutic agents;), thus preventing the conversion of premalignant cells to malignancy at
doses that cause minimal or no cytotoxicity. In this regard, berries seem to fulfill the requirement
of an “ideal” chemopreventive agent . The same is undoubtedly true of many other foodstuffs; for
example, a freeze-dried aqueous extract of broccoli sprouts was effective at dietary levels in
inhibiting chemically induced bladder cancer with no observable toxicity in rats"
Cancer Prevention and Treatment with Resveratrol: From Rodent Studies to Clinical Trials
"The anticancer property of resveratrol has been supported by its ability to inhibit proliferation of
a wide variety of human tumor cells in vitro. These in vitro data have led to numerous preclinical
animal studies to evaluate the potential of this drug for cancer chemoprevention and
chemotherapy. This review provides concise, comprehensive data from preclinical in vivo studies
in various rodent models of human cancers, highlighting the related mechanisms of action.
Bioavailability, pharmacokinetic, and potential toxicity studies of resveratrol in humans and
ongoing interventional clinical trials are also presented. The conclusion describes directions for
future resveratrol research to establish its activity and utility as a human cancer preventive and
therapeutic drug".
Head + Neck cancers + malodorous necrotic ulcers (in cancer patients are of major concern as it

Glándula prostática, órgano masculino en forma de castaño situado junto a la vejiga y rodeando la
uretra (el tubo que transporta la orina desde la vejiga hasta el pene).
La glándula prostática produce una secreción conocida como líquido prostático que constituye la
mayor parte de la parte líquida del semen, que se descarga del pene durante el orgasmo sexual.
Midiendo aproximadamente 3 cm (aproximadamente 1.2 pulgadas) de ancho, el La glándula
prostática está compuesta de tejido glandular que produce próstata líquido y tejido muscular que
ayuda en la eyaculación masculina. Líquido prostático también Ayuda a mantener los
espermatozoides, que se encuentran en el semen, sanos y vivos, por lo tanto, aumentando las
posibilidades de que ocurra la fertilización.
La enfermedad prostática más común es la hiperplasia prostática benigna (HPB), una condición no
cancerosa de causa desconocida. Ocurre en aproximadamente 70 - 80% de hombres
En la HPB, la glándula prostática puede aumentar de tamaño a partir de 20 g (0.71 oz), que es el
tamaño promedio de la próstata en hombres más jóvenes, hasta 150 g (5,31 onzas).
A medida que la próstata crece, contrae la uretra, posiblemente causando un obstrucción parcial
de la vejiga, puede conducir a engrosamiento de la pared de la vejiga y problemas para orinar.

Prostatitiden treten erstmals oft schon im dritten oder vierten Lebensjahrzehnt, meist als Folge
einer Durchnässung oder Verkühlung auf.
Die Symptome der akuten Entzündung sind Fieber, evtl. auch Schüttelfrost, einhergehend mit
dysurischen Beschwerden. Meist besteht schmerzhafter
Ist die Prostata einmal von Bakterien besiedelt, so entwickelt sich oft eine chronische Prostatitis
mit rezidivierenden Infektionen von Blase, Nebenhoden und Harnröhre.
Die eigentlichen Symptome der Prostata bei chronischer Entzündung sind uncharakteristisch. Oft
werden Beschwerden wie Unterbauchschmerzen, Schmerzen des Beckenbodens und dergleichen
von unerfahrenen Therapeuten fehl interpretiert. Erst wenn Symptome wie blutiges Ejakulat oder
Infektzeichen der die Prostata umgebenden Organe (Blase, Harnröhre, Nebenhoden, Rektum)
auftreten, wird klar, dass ein urologisches Krankheitsbild vorliegt.
Da ein akuter Infekt beim Mann oft eine Exazerbation einer chronischen Grunderkrankung ist
(Prostataadenom, chronische Prostatitis, funktionelle Blasenentleerungsstörung anderer Art),
muss die homöopathische Behandlung -soll sie erfolgreich sein- auch diese Grundkrankheit mit
einbeziehen.
Bei chronischen Entzündungen empfehle ich vorrangig die (klassische) Homöopathie. Hier hat die
Schulmedizin nicht viel zu bieten. Die Verordnung von Antibiotika,
u.U. mehrmals pro Jahr bzw. sogar als Dauertherapie, oder gar die Operation der Prostata bei
chronischer Prostatitis sind Zeichen der Hilflosigkeit, mit der die heutige Medizin diesen
Krankheitsbilder gegenübersteht. Durch die Gabe von -nach klassischer Anamnese ausgewählten-
Homöopathika läßt sich die Erkrankung fast ausnahmslos ausheilen oder zumindest so weit in Griff
kriegen, dass -auch langfristig- kein nennenswerter Leidensdruck mehr besteht.
Die wichtigsten und häufigsten Prostataerkrankungen sind die Prostatitis, das Prostataadenom
sowie das Prostatakarzinom. Ursache und Symptome dieser Krankheiten sind sehr variabel; daher
ist auch deren Therapie unterschiedlich. Traditionell haben Phytotherapeutika einen großen
Stellenwert bei der Behandlung der Prostatitis sowie des Adenoms. Das Prostatakarzinom
erfordert eine individuell nach Persönlichkeit und Gemüt des Patienten ausgewählte Therapie. Das
Spektrum erstreckt sich von der
sofortigen Operation bis hin zum (auch langfristig beabsichtigtem) kontrollierten Zuwarten unter
lokaler Kontrolle. Dann wären ergänzende immunregulative
Maßnahmen, wie z.B. auch die Gabe von Homöopathika, sehr sinnvoll.
Prostatitis
Die Entzündung der Prostata entwickelt sich in der Regel aus einer nicht bemerkten, einer
„verschleppten“ oder nicht ausbehandelten Cystitis. In manchen Fällen kommt
es auch nach einer schweren Atemwegsinfektion zu einer fortgeleiteten Entzündung der Prostata.
Auch andere chronische Infektionsherde, wie z.B. ein unter Eiter stehender Zahn, können Schübe
einer rezidivierenden Prostatitis auslösen.

immer wieder jedoch stößt der aufmerksame Zuhörer auf eigentümliche Symptome, die im
Vorfeld der Erkrankung über längere Zeit bestanden haben, z B. uncharakteristische
Hodenschmerzen, Erektionsstörungen, Leistenbeschwerden, eine Prostatitis oder evtl. auch eine
Periproktitis. Man hat den Eindruck, dass der Körper sehr wohl auf die Karzinomerkrankung
hinweist, aber nur zu uncharakteristischer Symptomenproduktion in der Lage ist.
Prinzipiell kommt jedes Mittel als Simillimum in Betracht. Da ein Prostataadenom nicht durch
Arzneimittelprüfung entsteht, gibt die Hautprubrik (Prostata – Vergrößerung) allenfalls Hinweise
auf Mittel, die sich aus klinischer Erfahrung als nützlich erwiesen haben.
Allgemein:
Sykose
Impfung, nach
Prostatakarzinom
Das Prostatakarzinom nimmt jedoch aus mehreren Gründen unter den Karzinomerkrankungen
eine besondere Stellung ein. Da bekannt ist, dass viele Männer mit Prostatakarzinom leben ohne
jemals ziehende Schmerzen im Gehen oder Sitzen. Außer gewaltsamer anfallsartiger
Harnentleerung tritt kaum eine Begleitsymptomatik auf.
Sabal serrulata ist hilfreich bei chronischer Entzündung und Prostatahypertrophie mit
brennendem Samenerguß, Kältegefühl der Blase, tröpfelnder oder verzögerter Blasenentleerung
und häufigem nächtlichen Harndrang mit uncharakteristischen Schmerzen im Schambereich.
Prostataadenom
Das Prostataadenom ist die letztlich ätiologisch noch nicht geklärte Vergrößerung der
periurethralen Drüsen der Prostata. Es entwickelt sich schleichend, d. h. meist im Laufe von vielen
Jahren allmählich schlechter werdend, eine Dysurie mit Pollakisurie, imperativem Harndrang,
Harnstrahlabschwächung,
Da die Krankheit bereits über das Stadium der Regulationsstörung hinausgeht und bereits zu
strukturellen Veränderungen des Organs führt, stellt die homöopathische Behandlung eine
besondere Herausforderung an den Therapeuten dar. Erfahrungsgemäß ist die Verkleinerung
eines Prostataadenoms mit homöopathischen Mitteln eine schwierige Aufgabe. Es ist daher
bereits als Erfolg zu werten, wenn das Größenwachstum der Prostata zum Stillstand kommt, die
subjektiv wahrgenommenen Beschwerden weniger werden und damit die Lebensqualität steigt.
Im Beispielfall wurde Mercurius u.a. verordnet wegen der Prostata Entzündung, sehr starker
stechender Schmerzen und der Verzweiflung, die zu Selbstmordgedanken führte.

[Shiv Dua]
"Prostate is a King gland because queens do not have it. It is a proprietary providence of male's
prowess to be called a Turash'.
Many aged patients having prostate complaints coming. Before reading this article, they never
thought of the existence of this gland and they always held kidneys responsible for their urine
problems.
The fact is that more than seventy 5% our male population lives in rural areas and most of them
do not know about the names of glands like Prostate. This is unfortunate that people are trained
to earn livelihood, trained to keep good health, trained to keep off vices but not trained to know
their body parts. Parents tell their children to take milk, butter, ghee or non-vegetari an meals and
also about exercise but no one tells them about working of our body. Imparting this knowledge is
left to the school teachers. If a student learns something about human body during his study
course, prostate does not come up in the primary functioning of body until there is a higher study
of medicine.
Even if people are told about the prostate and its connection with sexual activity, they would
resort to celibacy or avoid sex rather than going in for treatment or operation.
For them, anything connected with urine problems is due to less intake of water or 'Lassi' or
'Chhachh'. In big cities and towns where people are better educated, they are aware of prostate
problems but still they avoid its operation, thinking that it is a symbol of their existing sexual
power, which they do not want to part with.
In the name of psycho-analysis (Freud), many doctors say that sexual activity entertains mind and
dissolves tensions. It is a materialistic view of modern era and has no scientific basis. Freud does
not say that one should indulge in sex only to entertain or erase tensions.
His saying is that it should not be suppressed. Indian people are traditionally bound to think that
conservation of semen through celibacy means prolonged life and youthfulness.
According to 'Vedas', loss of semen is death and its absorption in the body is life. We have two
types of secretions - internal and external. Some internal secretions, when absorbed in the body,
keep the body healthy and prolong longevity. Man can overcome old age diseases (prostate
enlargement or prostate cancer included) by preservation
of semen. By its loss, the life is shortened. When an old man, of say seventy years, indulges in
prolonged sexual act, his blood pressure increases and when it is difficult
to cope up with this increased pressure, it ends in paralysis or brain hemorrhage. This also means
that an old man indulging in sex is putting undue pressure on his prostate
for release of fluid. Where is the necessity to do so when the efficiency of prostate is on the
decline?
It is supposed to be left idle. Many doctors do not agree to this argument and say that prostate
must be kept active for prolonged life of the gland.
According to ancient Vedic system, the life of man is hundred years. At the age of fifty, he enters
'Vaanprastha ashram.'
After the age of fifty, no one should enter into sexual acts, if he desires to live up to one hundred
years.
We are Indians and should believe in Indian system of living. Why should we leave our'thinking
and way of life and adopt western materialism, thinking, eating habits
'We should preserve precious semen after the age of fifty and let it get absorbed in the body to
avoid diseases of Torush granthi', says the golden Indian philosophy.
Prostate is an organ that is most susceptible to cancer and no one knows when it develops and
when to start preventive treatment. No other human organ in .our body is
so much prone to cancer as is the prostate. In America, more than two lakh (= 2000) men fall
victim to prostate cancer each year.
About forty thousand men die of prostate cancer each year in America. When, in a country like
America, with advanced medical awareness among people has such a toll
of deaths, one can imagine the state of prostate cancer in India. How many Indian men die of
prostate cancer? There is no record about it because of lack of data and information fed to the
government hospitals. The facilities of curing prostate cancer or removal of gland in the villages
and small towns are missing and hence villagers die of cancer without any record of it in
dispensaries. Even if the facilities are made available one cannot educate the people on this aspect
overnight. In western countries, medical awareness is far superior to eastern countries. USA has
government and non-government organizations, which keep record, advise and console patients
of cancer, thyroid and prostate etc.
There is a practical problem in diagnosing prostate enlargement and cancer of prostate gland. By
the time, the symptoms appear, the gland is already enlarged or having carcinoma. The
conventional check systems, pathological tests and electronic gadgets do help but there is still
scope for such an investigating tool that could serve the purpose of early diagnosis of this disease.
Recently it has been reported that a rapid check system has been installed in Mumbai's Jaslok
Hospital that does the JOB!, scanning in seconds. This is done by light speed Volume Computed
Tomography called VCT, which is the fastest quick-fix diagnostic tool.
Government has recognized six systems of medicines namely Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic,
Unani, Sidha and Yoga/Naturopathy. In this book, Prostate, has been dealt with Homeopathy,
Ayurveda and Yoga/Naturopathy so that the readers have options to resort to. The aim is to bring
home cure before surgery is done. If early home treatment is undertaken at the onset of primary
symptoms, there is every scope that operation to remove prostate gland is averted.
Discusses the prostate gland in terms of structure and function as well as sexuality, masculinity,
and identity. Samples cases are included to illustrate.
Abstract: The author underscores the importance of the prostate gland in terms of its structure
and function, semen and sexuality, masculinity and identity and masculinity
and its crisis in the modern civilized human species. The author also discusses the prostate gland
with reference to materia medica, repertory and sample cases.
The relationship between Hahnemann’s concept of Totality and the Biopsychosocial model of
Engel are explored.
The word ‘prostate’ is from the Greek meaning “one who stands before,” which describes the
position of the prostate gland. Viewed from below, where the urethra leaves
The prostate gland is found only in the male, having no female counterpart. The prostate gland
reflects the masculinity.
Fertilization is possible due to the prostate gland. The prostate gland plays a vital role in
continuing the human species.

Today, breast cancer and prostate cancer seem to be two sides of the same coin. Countries with
high rates of breast cancer tend to have high rates of prostate cancer.
And countries with low rates of prostate cancer have relatively few cases of breast cancer. The
saga of human evolution is the story of two male glands, both of which produce fluid that makes
up semen. One gland, the prostate, is prone to cancer. The other, the seminal vesicle, rarely gets
afflicted with cancer.

Is the emergence of “masculinity in crisis” responsible for increase in prostrate related diseases
especially cancer of the prostate? Is the feminist movement responsible for females to be
masculine, given growing industrialization and replacement of labour by technology and hence
there are more breast cancer cases?
Is physical strength of men being reduced and more entry of females in the workforce responsible
for the incompatibility between male and female?
Does the transitional experience of males with cancer of the prostrate to castrate the testicles, to
cut off the supply of testosterone to the prostate gland and to make the gland defunct, and thus
drastically reduce the masculinity reflect the incompatibility. Doe this further shift the male to the
female side through injecting female hormones, for the sake of survival, lead to the gender
identity crisis.

A triangular body in male, the size and shape of a chestnut, that lies immediately in front of the
bladder with its apex directed down and forward. The prostatic portion of the urethra extends
through it, passing from the bladder to the penis.
This prostate contains 15–20 branched, tubular glands which form lobules. The gland ducts open
into the urethra. Between the gland clusters, or alveoli, there is a dense, fibrous connecting tissue,
the stroma, which also forms a tough capsule around the gland, continuous with the bladder wall.
Penetrating the prostate to empty into the urethra are the ejaculatory ducts from the seminal
vesicles which are located above and behind the organ. The prostatic gland secretes a viscid,
alkaline fluid which aids in sperm motility and in neutralizing the acidity of the vagina, thus
enhancing fertilization.
In gross anatomy, the prostate gland is described as consisting of lobes and in microanatomy by
zones. It is surrounded by a fibromuscular capsule and contains glandular tissue as well as
connective tissue.

The prostate gland is dependent on the hormonal secretions of the testes for growth and
development. When production of the male hormone (androgen) decreases, the prostate begins
to degenerate.
Normally changes occur in the prostate as a man ages. Between the fourth and sixth decades
there is atrophy of the smooth muscles and an increase in fibrous scar tissue, collagen fibres
(protein strands), and numbers of lymph cells. When a man passes the age of 60 years, the organ
is largely replaced by fibrous tissue.
The prostate gland produces most of the fluid in semen, the substance that is emitted during
ejaculation as part of the male sexual response. This prostatic fluid is slightly alkaline, milky or
white in appearance.
The alkalinity of semen helps neutralize the acidity of the vaginal tract, prolonging the lifespan of
sperm. The prostatic fluid is expelled in the first part of ejaculate, together with most of the
sperm, because of the action of smooth muscle tissue within the prostate.
In comparison with the few spermatozoa expelled together with mainly seminal vesicular fluid,
those in prostatic fluid have better motility, longer survival, and better protection of genetic
material. The prostatic fluid prepares and maintains the healthy environment for the sperms.
Functions of the prostate gland are unique.
When sperm is emitted, it is transmitted from the vas deferens into the male urethra via the
ejaculatory ducts, which lie within the prostate gland. Ejaculation is the expulsion of semen from
the urethra as a result of orgasm and the final stage and natural objective of male sexual
stimulation and an essential component of natural conception.
Semen is moved into the urethra following contractions of the smooth muscle of the vas deferens
and seminal vesicles, following stimulation, primarily of the glans penis.
Stimulation sends nerve signals via the internal pudendal nerves to the upper lumbar spine; the
nerve signals causing contraction act via the hypogastric nerves. After traveling into the urethra,
the seminal fluid is ejaculated by contraction of the bulbocavernosus muscle.
It is possible for some men to achieve orgasm solely through stimulation of the prostate gland,
such as prostate massage or anal intercourse. The penis is not the exclusive organ to give the
orgasm.
Many symptoms such as embarrassment, anxiety, guilt, frustration, decreased libido etc. are
developed due to diseases like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), chronic prostatitis, neurogenic
bladder etc.
Urinary urgency triggers a frantic hunt for a bathroom and embarrasses even the most placid gent,
and frequent urination at night which interrupts sleep can only add to mental distress.
Men who reported high levels of recent stress had more difficulty emptying their bladders than
men who did not experience recent stress. The post-voiding residual urine was observed more in
patients who had chronic stress.
A rich network of nerves surrounds the prostate and may explain the link between the mind and
the prostate, between stress and symptoms. Treatment of prostate disorders, hence, involves the
psycho-neuro-endocrine system.
The hypothalamus controls the endocrine system’s “master gland,” the pituitary. In turn, the
pituitary regulates the production of many hormones, including the male hormone testosterone.
Enlargement of the prostate depends on testosterone. Long-term changes in the hypothalamic-
pituitary-testicular connection affect the growth of the prostate.
The other possibility involves the sympathetic nervous system. Stress triggers the release of
adrenaline. The prostate and the bladder neck contain alpha-receptors that respond to adrenaline
by stimulating smooth muscle cells in the prostate and bladder.
When the muscle cells contract, they narrow the urethra, making it harder for a man to empty his
bladder. By activating the sympathetic nervous system, stress may slow the flow of urine in men
with BPH and prevent the bladder from emptying completely.
The sympathetic nervous system may also play a role in the link between hypertension and
symptoms of BPH. Since hypertension may indicate increased activity of the sympathetic nervous
system, high blood pressure and stress could share a common mechanism for increasing the
severity of BPH symptoms.
In addition to stress, the factors such as age, testosterone, various growth factors, genetics,
smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and diet play a role in prostate diseases.
Chronic nonbacterial prostatitis [chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS0)] is an all-too-common G-U
condition in men. It’s characterized by episodes of pain and discomfort
that come and go unpredictably, trouble urinating and sexual dysfunction. Although not life-
threatening, it can certainly degrade a man’s quality of life and lead to depression.
Researchers found that poor emotional health, high levels of stress and a lack of social support
were associated with a history of prostatitis. The findings were consistent with those of a 2002
Harvard study which observed that men who reported severe stress at work or home were 1.2 and
1.5 times more likely to report prostatitis, respectively, than those whose lives were relatively
stress-free.
The common forms of prostate disease are inflammation, BPH and prostate cancer. Prostatitis can
affect men of any age, but it is more common in younger men, between
30 and 50 years and the main types are bacterial and non-bacterial.
Possible causes of chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS0) include: past bacterial prostatitis
infection, irritation from some chemicals, problem with the nerves connecting the lower urinary
tract, problem with pelvic floor muscles, spinal cord injury, sexual abuse and chronic anxiety
problems.
The presence of prostatic disease in itself can be a significant cause of sexual problems by the very
nature of the distressful ‘waterworks’ symptoms which are associated with BPE or prostate
cancer.
Ejaculation is a synchronized cascade of events that has the ultimate goal of activating sperm and
enabling them to reach an egg for fertilization. The seminal plasma contains a complex mixture of
fluids that is secreted from the testes, epididymis and male accessory glands. The prostate gland
has a pivotal role in this process, as prostatic fluid enriched in Zn2+, citrate and kallikreins is crucial
for the molecular synchronization of the functional cascade triggered by ejaculatory stimuli.

Stimulating the prostate can have more benefits than just better orgasms. The stimulation can
help flush out the prostate and increase blood flow to the pelvic area. It can help impotence and
provide cancer prevention too. Prostate play is also a great option for those with erectile
disfunction or persons who don’t want to engage their penis during sex.
Not everyone orgasms from just prostate stimulation. Stimulating the penis at the same time can
add to the pleasure. However, it isn’t common to experience ‘dry orgasms’, allowing for multiple
orgasms without ejaculation. Ejaculation orgasms require a waiting period between each one,
while dry or prostate orgasms do not.
Erection is a matter of synchronous body function, which fills the penile tissue with blood, allowing
it to swell and stand erect. This process requires an orchestrated mechanism, led by blood vessels,
endocrine, nervous and psychic system and obviously, any interference can affect the quality of an
erection.

Prostatic diseases can affect spermatozoa functioning and, therefore, male fertility. Consideration
of prostate physiology emphasizes a number of points: the central role of Zn2+ and citrate in the
regulation of prostate epithelium homeostasis and in ejaculation; the influence of bacteria-related
prostatic inflammation on male fertility; and the potential role of prostatic inflammation in
promoting the development of prostatic hyperplastic growth and carcinogenesis.

It is no wonder that AGNUS CASTUS, mainly a male remedy, finds a place in many rubrics related
to prostate complaints especially cancer of prostate. Sexual melancholy is the center around which
revolves the life of the Agnus patient from young to old age.
Early exposure to sex, addiction to porn and frequent history of gonorrhoeas and syphilis prepare
the platform for sexual melancholy. Porn addiction trains the brain to require more and more
dopamine to feel the effect of pleasure and the dopamine level required to feel excitement is so
heightened that the person can no longer feel pleasure at only things that used to make him
happy.
“In old men, who having spent their youth and early manhood in the practice of excessive venery,
are just as excitable in their sexual passion at sixty as at eighteen or twenty, and yet they are
physically impotent, Agn. is a good remedy: (Vermeulene, Concordant MM).
Prostate cancer based on multiple gonorrhoeas and syphilis, dwindling sex and self-depreciation is
covered by Agnus castus.
Prostate: Inflamed, enlarged, with intermittent flow. Forcible retention causes renal pain. Urine
flows in a full stream at first. Urination easier standing. Easy prostatic discharge.
Forced abstinence causes sexual incompetence or/and excessive desire (satyriasis, nymphomania).
Erection failing. Cutting pain in urethra as urine or semen passes. Discharge; nocturnal; after
onanism; after slightest provocation.
The main pathology in Conium is related to suppressed sexual energy. Conium is for hardness and
induration and when the prostate gland is hard, think of Conium.
Stubborn chronicity; symptoms develop insidiously, slowly, steadily, even painlessly. This
behavioural pattern of Conium matches with cancer of the prostate. Conium is also for neurogenic
bladder, being a paralytic remedy.
STAPHYSAGRIA and ‘manhood’ go together. A masculine, a macho, a hero, a performer with high
self-image but with morbidly sensitive and vulnerable pride. Materia medica lists ‘maladjustment’
as a cause of pathologies in Staph. The main maladjustment of Staphysagria is in the sexual sphere
and interpersonal relations.
Staphysagria holds sex and love as inseparable. He doesn’t recognize that sex isn’t the only way to
have intimacy with the partner. If a partner says no to sex, Staph takes it as an insult of his
identity, of his masculinity and of his sexuality. He feels very offended and develops a strong sense
of injustice and he is wounded. Evoked is the response of anger and resentment which creates a
wall between him and his partner.
A very important aetiological factor for the Staph individual is “self-respecting husbands
smothering under dominating wives”. No one denies the importance of sexual compatibility. Over
the years, Staph loses it and this leads to suppressed libido (Mind; continence; ailments from,
agg.). A sexually minded Staph develops anguish, peevishness and indignation leading to the result
that life is a bad deal. The prostate gland has to bear the brunt of it.
I remember a young man in the Indian army from a village who married with a semi-urban girl. On
the first night itself, his wife refused the sex and told him to refrain from sex as she wanted to go
back to her boyfriend.
It was a big shock for the guy and he developed resentment, rage and a feeling of being
humiliated. The pent-up and subdued wrath was followed by an attack of prostatitis. He had to
join the army but whenever he returned home, he had to confront the same situation. No sex, no
divorce, chronic anger and the young patient became indifferent, sad and diffident. The prostatitis
became chronic and was diagnosed as non-bacterial prostatitis.
Staphysagria helped him in many ways. First, he was unable to take the decision of separation
from his wife due to societal and familial pressure. But after Staph, he took the decision of
separation. The tormenting symptoms of prostatitis such as burning, smarting, stabbing
disappeared. He remarried then and is now enjoying his life.
Another case is that of a businessman, age 66 years. Mr. A.N. He sustained a big loss in the shares
market. His materialistic wife took the divorce and the only son with whom the patient had an
attachment was taken by the wife.
His wife had to be given a huge amount of money when he was bankrupt. He had to sell his
bungalow and live in a small apartment. His wife and son flew to another country and refused to
respect his calls. He became sad, and developed anxiety of the future. Self-reproach became
common and he developed ED. He approached some girls for sexual gratification but found
himself defunct.
Over the years, he developed hypertension, suffered from an attack of myocardial infarction and
developed BPH. The use of diuretics and frequent urging to urinate 10-12 times during daytime
and 5-6 times at night exhausted him very much. PSA was normal.
He consulted homeopathy as he wanted to avoid surgery. The patient gave the following
symptoms:
Dribbling urination.

In der griechischen Mythologie ist es die Liebesgöttin Aphrodite, die den Granatapfel auf Zypern
als Baum des Lebens gepflanzt hat. Die römische Göttin Juno hielt den Granatapfel als Symbol der
Ehe in der Hand, und Bräute trugen einen Kranz aus blühenden Granatapfelzweigen. Auch in der
christlichen Mythologie hat der Granatapfel seinen Platz. Das Hohelied des Salomo erwähnt
Granatapfelsaft als den Nektar der Liebenden, wohingegen die christliche Kunst die Bedeutung
umkehrte und den Granatapfel zum Symbol für Reinheit und Jungfräulichkeit einsetzte. Eine
königliche Note erhielt die rote Frucht vermutlich durch die Blütenkelchreste, die den Granatapfel
wie eine kleine Krone zieren und König Salomos Kronenform inspiriert haben sollen. Der
Reichsapfel des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nationen als Zeichen der Macht geht
ebenfalls auf den Granatapfel zurück.
Die Araber brachten den Granatapfelbaum vermutlich um 800 bis 900 n.Chr. mit nach Spanien, wo
er unter anderem der Provinz und Stadt Granada ihren Namen gab und sowohl das granadische
Provinz- als auch das spanische Staatswappen ziert.
Aus der Schale des Granatapfels lässt sich ein gelber Farbstoff gewinnen, der mit Eisenbeize
tiefblau wird und bei der Herstellung von Orientteppichen Verwendung findet. Übrigens ist die
älteste europäische Gewächshauspflanze ein Granatapfelbaum. Der im Jahr 1653 über Venedig
gereiste Baum steht noch heute in den Herrenhäuser Gärten in Hannover.
Die Pflanze bei WALA: Der dürreresistente Granatapfelbaum speichert in seinen Früchten viel
Feuchtigkeit und Vitalität. Für die Dr.Hauschka Kosmetik verarbeitet die WALA die gesamte Frucht
inklusive Schale und erhält damit eine Zubereitung, die die Regeneration der Haut fördert. Die
Schale ist deshalb wichtiger Bestandteil, weil ihr Extrakt ein Enzym hemmt, das für den Abbau von
Kollagen in gealterter Haut verantwortlich ist. Gleichzeitig aktiviert der Extrakt ein Enzym, das am
Aufbau von Kollagen beteiligt ist. Das im Auszug der gesamten Frucht ebenfalls enthaltene
Granatapfelsamenöl stimuliert die Zellteilung der hautaufbauenden Keratinozyten. Der
Granatapfelextrakt ist enthalten in Dr.Hauschka Regeneration Hals und Dekolletécreme und
Regeneration Körperbalsam ‡
Die Heimat des Granatapfels liegt in West- bis Mittelasien (Türkei, Kaukasus, Tadschikistan,
Turkmenistan, Usbekistan bis in den Iran, Afghanistan und Pakistan).
Die Gattung Punica besteht aus nur zwei Arten, die alleine die Unterfamilie Punicoideae bildet,
Punica granata und Punica protopunica. Dabei gibt es die zweite Art ausschließlich auf der zum
Der Granatapfelbaum ist wechselgrün und erreicht eine Höhe von bis zu 5 m. Er kann einige
Hundert Jahre alt werden. An den Enden der Zweige trägt er im Frühjahr und Sommer große,
trichterförmige, orangerote Blüten. Die im Reifezustand orangeroten Früchte haben einen
Durchmesser von bis zu 10 cm und sind von vielen Wänden durchzogen. Dadurch entstehen
Kammern, in denen sich bis zu 15 mm große kantige Samen befinden. Sie sind von einem glasigen,
saftig-prallen, tiefrot bis blassrosa gefärbten Samenmantel (Arillus) umgeben und können
mitgegessen werden. Die Frucht wird bis zu 500 g schwer und ist als Grenzfall einer Beere
anzusehen. Das Fruchtfleisch ist nicht fleischig, aber auch nicht verholzt.
(Typische Beeren sind z.B. Bananen, Tomaten oder Avocados. Die umgangssprachlich so
bezeichneten Früchte Erdbeere, Himbeere, Brombeere, Vogelbeere, Holunderbeere oder
Wacholderbeere sind keine Beeren: Erdbeeren sind eine Sammelnussfrucht, Wacholderbeeren
sind Zapfen.)
Der Granatapfelbaum liebt heißes und trockenes Klima. An die Bodenqualität stellt er geringe
Ansprüche. Heute wächst er im Mittelmeerraum mit Südtirol und dem Wallis als Nordgrenze, in
Vorderasien, Südafrika, dem südlichen Asien, China, Australien, der südwestlichen USA und
Südamerika.
Im Mittelmeerraum und im Nahen Osten wird der Granatapfel seit Jahrhunderten zur Gewinnung
der Früchte als Obst oder für die Saftherstellung (Grenadine) kultiviert. Gleiches gilt neuerdings
auch für die südwestliche USA und Südamerika.
Studien zeigen eine mögliche positive Wirkung bei Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, Krebs und
Arthritis. Es wurde festgestellt, dass Granatapfelsaft die Bildung körpereigener Östrogene hemmt
und bei (östrogenrezeptor-positiven) Brustkrebszellen das Wachstum um 80% reduziert. Dabei
wurde das Wachstum der gesunden Zellen nicht beeinträchtigt. Fermentierter Granatapfelsaft
hatte dabei eine doppelt so hohe Wirkung wie frischer Saft.
Weitere Krebsarten, gegen die Granatapfelsaft wegen seines hohen Polyphenolgehalts wirksam
ist, sind Leukämie und Prostatakrebs. Bei Letzterem stieg bei einer täglichen Verabreichung von
Granatapfelsaft mit einem Gehalt von 570 mg Polyphenolen in einer sechsjährigen
Beobachtungsphase die Verdopplungszeit des PSA-Werts von 15,4 auf 60 Monate.
Positive Einflüsse wurden auch bei Patienten mit verengter Halsschlagader festgestellt. Nach
einem Jahr Verzehr von Granatapfel oder Granatapfelsaft verringerten sich die Ablagerungen um
35%, während sie in der Kontrollgruppe deutlich zugenommen haben.

Im Vergleich mit Rotwein und Blaubeeren enthält der Granatapfel besonders viele Polyphenole,
vor allem Punicalagin, Crosmin und Quercetin sowie Phenolsäuren wie Ellagsäure und Gallussäure.
Er enthält größere Mengen Flavonoide wie Anthocyane, ist reich an Kalium und enthält u.a.
Vitamin C, Calcium und Eisen.
Die Früchte und ihr Presssaft sowie das Samenöl gelten bisher nicht als Phytopharmaka, sondern
als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel, dürften aber angesichts der oben genannten Wirkungen deutlich
an medizinischem Interesse gewinnen.

Im alten Rom schmückten sich junge Frauen mit Kränzen aus Granatapfelzweigen für reiche
Kindersegen. In manchen Kulturen hat die Frucht bis heute ihren Platz bei Festen, vor allem im
Iran,
wo man Granatäpfel (= anaar) bei Hochzeiten auf den Boden fallen und platzen lässt. Das bringe
Kinderglück.
[Bernd Brunner]
Außen abweisend, innen verführerisch – was den Granatapfel zu einer so besonderen Frucht
macht.
Seit Jahrtausenden beschäftigen sich Menschen mit dem Granatapfel. Aber anders als Kartoffel,
Tee, Zucker oder Baumwolle hat er nicht den Weltlauf bestimmt. Seine Wirkung ist subtiler.
Assoziationen ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch die Kulturen des Altertums. Möglicherweise
ist mit dem verbotenen Baum der Erkenntnis in der Adam-und-Eva-Geschichte ein
Granatapfelbaum gemeint. Die große Kernzahl prädestinierte ihn als Fruchtbarkeitssymbol. Im
alten Ägypten galt er als heilige Pflanze. Als solche wird er im Judentum verehrt. Dort enthält der
perfekte Granatapfel 613 Kerne, was der Anzahl der Gebote in der Thora entspricht. Auf
altgriechischen Reliefs ist er mal Gottesattribut, mal Opfergabe, dann ein Tribut an heroisierte
Verstorbene. Eine halb bekleidete Aphrodite trägt ein Zepter, das von einem Granatapfel bekrönt
wird. Seine unverwechselbare Form wurde vielfach abgewandelt, zuweilen mit Ornamenten
ergänzt, und sie findet sich in der Form von Ölfläschchen, Salbgefäßen, Glasvasen und goldenen
Anhängern wieder. Sein charakteristischer Blütenkelch soll die Schöpfer der Kronen König Salomos
und der europäischen Könige inspiriert haben. Im alten Rom schmückten sich junge Frauen mit
Kränzen aus Granatapfelzweigen und erhofften sich dadurch reichen Kindersegen. In manchen
Kulturen hat die Frucht bis heute ihren Platz bei Festen, vor allem im Iran, wo man anaar bei
Hochzeiten auf den Boden fallen und platzen lässt. Das bringe Kinderglück.
Gezielt kultiviert werden Granatäpfel vermutlich seit etwa 5.000 Jahren. Damit zählen sie neben
Olive, Feige, Dattel und Traube zu den ältesten angebauten Früchten überhaupt – nur
Getreidesorten gehen dem historisch noch voraus. In Jericho gefundene Schalenreste stammen
aus der frühen Bronzezeit. Doch der Granatapfel wurde nie in großem Umfang genutzt wie die
später hinzugekommenen Zitrusfrüchte, die Kirsche, die Birne und der richtige Apfel. Deswegen
unterscheiden sich die heute kultivierten Formen nicht so sehr von jener Wildform, die noch im
Nordosten der Türkei, im Iran sowie in Albanien und Montenegro wächst – der Hauptunterschied
ist schlicht die Größe.
Über den Sommer gereift, konnte die Frucht gut gelagert oder von Nomaden über weite
Entfernungen transportiert und als Erfrischung genossen werden. Später fand sie ihren Weg nach
Indien, China und mit den Spaniern nach Amerika. In Japan existiert sogar eine Bonsaiform. In den
USA gedeihen Sorten, die "Wonderful" (schmeckt weinartig), "Utah Sweet" (besonders süß) oder
"Francis" (groß und süß, platzt nicht so leicht auf) heißen. Hellere Kerne sind meistens süßer als
dunkelrote, weil sie weniger Säure enthalten. Besonders in Kalifornien bemühen sich Züchter, die
Früchte zu optimieren, auch im Hinblick auf die Inhaltsstoffe.
Nicht zu warm und feucht darf es für den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Baum sein; er stellt nur geringe
Ansprüche an die Bodenqualität. In unseren Breitengraden gedeiht er auch, allerdings nur als
Kübelpflanze, weil er nicht winterhart ist.
A uno le gustaría hacer esto idiosincrásico, Pretty Fruit está muy feliz de atribuir efectos positivos.

Valter Longo, PhD, profesor de gerontología, profesor de biología ciencia, y director del Instituto
de Longevidad, sobre su investigación en calorías restricción y ayuno en cáncer. Miembro de la
Universidad del Sur California (USC) Norris Cancer Center y USC Alzheimer's Disease Research
Centro. Su laboratorio está interesado en comprender los mecanismos fundamentales del
envejecimiento mediante el uso de técnicas genéticas y bioquímicas. También busca identificar las
vías moleculares conservadas desde organismos simples hasta humanos que Se puede modular
para proteger contra múltiples tensiones y prevenir o tratar cáncer, enfermedad de Alzheimer y
otras enfermedades del envejecimiento. La atención se centra en el vías de transducción de
señales que regulan la resistencia al daño oxidativo y sobre los cambios dietéticos que los regulan.
La mayoría de los proyectos en el laboratorio incluyen Estudios moleculares paralelos en
organismos modelo y mamíferos, con varios Proyectos que involucran ensayos clínicos y estudios
de población humana con enfoque en restricción dietética y su efecto sobre la prevención y el
tratamiento de enfermedades.
Kaczor: Para aquellos que no están familiarizados con su trabajo, puede parecer Contradictorio
que la restricción calórica puede prolongar la vida de células/organismos, así como acelerar la
muerte de las células cancerosas. ¿Puedes explicarnos ¿Cómo funciona esta aparente paradoja?
Longo: El ayuno protege las células normales al hacer que entren en un Modo de resistencia a la
tensión no dividida, que hemos demostrado que es similar en organismos que van desde la
levadura hasta los humanos. Por el contrario, el ayuno empeora las cosas para células cancerosas
al generar un ambiente extremo con baja glucosa y crecimiento factores y cuerpos cetónicos altos,
que debilitan las células cancerosas. Cada mutación en las células cancerosas las hacen un poco
mejores para crecer en condiciones estándar, pero un poco peor para sobrevivir en ambientes
extremos como el que causó por ayuno.
Kaczor: El papel omnipresente del ayuno en varias culturas y religiones en todo el mundo
demuestra que es seguro para los humanos. Publicaste un Revisión que detallaba lo que usted
llamó "metabólico, molecular y celular" adaptaciones" de la restricción calórica que en última
instancia pueden reducir el riesgo de cáncer. De su trabajo, cuál es la cantidad óptima de
restricción calórica, y duración de esa restricción, para lograr cambios preventivos del cáncer en
los seres humanos?
Longo: No creo que la restricción calórica severa sea apropiada ya que, en Además de muchos
efectos beneficiosos, también causa pérdida de peso severa. Yo creen que por ahora, una dieta
alta en micronutrición, principalmente basada en plantas con algunos peces que permiten un IMC
de 21-23 y una circunferencia de cintura baja es lo ideal dieta. Breves períodos de ayuno seguidos
de realimentación para mantenerse estables También se puede recomendar peso.
Longo: Tanto en ratones como en pacientes, la gran mayoría de los que ayunaron fueron capaces
de recuperar su peso después de volver a la dieta normal. Para el 2–3 días de ayuno (solo agua)
antes de la quimioterapia y ayuno de 24 horas (solo agua) después quimioterapia, el riesgo es
mínimo. Sin embargo, los pacientes con diabetes o metabólica trastornos, o aquellos que han
perdido más del 10% de su peso, deben ser Cuidadosamente evaluado antes de decidir si el ayuno
es apropiado para ellos.
Kaczor: ¿Hay algún agente, natural o farmacéutico, que mejorar los cambios celulares observados
en la restricción calórica, o, por el contrario, cualquier ¿Agentes que pueden negar sus beneficios?
Longo: En respuesta a la solicitud de prácticamente todos los pacientes con cáncer que intentó
ayunar, pero también en respuesta al bajo cumplimiento entre los pacientes que intentamos
ayunar como parte del ensayo clínico en USC Norris Cancer Center— desarrolló una dieta de
sustitución (Chemolieve, con licencia para www.l-nutra.com) que Sustituye el ayuno obteniendo
los mismos efectos o mejores en comparación con los de ayunar, mientras maximiza la nutrición y
minimiza el crecimiento del cáncer.

Estar sin comer por períodos cortos puede ayudar a combatir el cáncer y aumentar La efectividad
de los tratamientos, dicen los científicos.
Investigador principal, el profesor Valter Longo, de la Universidad del Sur California dijo: "La célula
está, de hecho, cometiendo suicidio celular.
"Lo que estamos viendo es que la célula cancerosa trata de compensar el Falta de todas estas
cosas que faltan en la sangre después del ayuno. Puede estar intentando para reemplazarlos, pero
no puede".
El profesor Longo y su equipo analizaron el impacto que el ayuno tenía en los senos. cáncer del
tracto urinario y de ovario en ratones.
Se demostró que el ayuno sin quimioterapia retarda el crecimiento de la mama cáncer, melanoma
cáncer de piel, glioma cáncer cerebral y neuroblastoma - un cáncer que se forma en el tejido
nervioso.
Los científicos descubrieron que las células tumorales respondían de manera diferente al estrés de
ayuno en comparación con las células normales
En todos los casos, la combinación del ayuno con la quimioterapia hizo que el cáncer tratamiento
más eficaz.
Múltiples ciclos de ayuno combinados con quimioterapia curaron al 20% de los con una forma
altamente agresiva de cáncer, mientras que el 40% con una propagación limitada de la El mismo
cáncer se curó.
Los investigadores ya están investigando los efectos del ayuno en humanos pacientes, pero sólo
un ensayo clínico que dure varios años confirmará si Los pacientes con cáncer realmente pueden
beneficiarse de la restricción calórica.
Sin embargo, destacan que el ayuno podría ser peligroso para los pacientes que ya han perdido
mucho peso o se ven afectados por otros factores de riesgo, como como la diabetes.
El profesor Longo señala que el estudio solo prueba si los pacientes pueden tolerar ayunos cortos
de dos días antes y un día después de la quimioterapia.
"Debería estar fuera del alcance de los pacientes, pero un paciente debería poder ir a su oncólogo
y decirle: '¿Qué pasa con el ayuno con quimioterapia?' o sin si no se recomendó o consideró la
quimioterapia".
Investigaciones anteriores dirigidas por el profesor Longo mostraron que el ayuno protegía lo
normal. células de los efectos de la quimioterapia, pero no observó las células cancerosas.
Ahora es aunque el ayuno puede ser una forma de debilitar las células tumorales y más
vulnerables.
El profesor Longo agregó: "Una forma de vencer a las células cancerosas puede no ser tratar de
encontrar drogas que los matan específicamente pero que los confunden generando entornos,
como el ayuno, a los que solo las células normales pueden responder rápidamente".

El ayuno puede ser una de las muchas herramientas efectivas contra el cáncer
Ya se sabe que el ayuno y la restricción calórica mejoran la salud y la prevenir muchas condiciones
de salud crónicas. Tenga en cuenta que hay varias maneras de Logre los beneficios que prolongan
la vida del ayuno sin saltarse las comidas.
Los ayunos largos no deben hacerse a menos que estén bajo el cuidado de un conocedor.
profesional de la salud, pero el ayuno intermitente siempre ha sido parte de humanidad.
Retrasar una comida no solo es fácil sino también excelente para su salud. Intermitente El ayuno
significa reducir o eliminar ocasionalmente la ingesta de alimentos por un corto tiempo. período
de tiempo. Los estudios han encontrado que cuando a los animales de laboratorio se les permitió
comer Libremente cada dos días, consumieron la misma cantidad de calorías que el Grupo que
come libremente. La diferencia es que los grupos que ayunaron entre sí. día vivió más tiempo,
aumentó la resistencia a las enfermedades y mejoró la insulina sensibilidad.
En estudios en humanos, cuando los sujetos ayunaban en días alternos, perdían peso; redujo los
factores de riesgo de enfermedad cardíaca y ralentizó el crecimiento de células cancerosas.
Entonces, echemos un vistazo más de cerca a los diferentes tipos de técnicas de ayuno.
El ayuno de 16 horas
Para el principiante, el "ayuno de 16 horas" es probablemente la forma más fácil de hacerlo. con el
mínimo esfuerzo. Trate de comer todas sus comidas durante el día dentro de las 8 horas período
de tiempo. Por ejemplo, solo comes de 9 a 5 h. – dándote 16 horas de tiempo de ayuno hasta su
próxima comida. Prueba esto durante unos días y mira tu ¡La energía se dispara!
También puede tratar de comer todas sus comidas en un día y ayunar al día siguiente. Este ayuno
de "día alterno" se puede hacer durante una semana o más (dependiendo de su situación) con
grandes resultados. Por cierto, el ayuno en días alternos ha sido demostrado ser altamente
efectivo con pacientes con cáncer y enfermedades cardíacas.
Obviamente, la forma más segura y fácil de incorporar los beneficios de El ayuno en su vida
cotidiana es beber su comida. Honestamente, muchas personas nunca se han sentido mejor una
vez que le dan a su sistema digestivo un descanso de sólido víveres.
Permítanme sugerirle que se deleite con un ayuno de jugo verde. Algunas personas Llame a esto
"fiesta de jugo", porque puede tomar un vaso de 8 onzas de verde jugo de vegetales cada hora –
durante todo el día.
Si los jugos verdes no funcionan para usted, es posible que desee considerar un día de batidos de
superalimentos. Por lo general, esto te hará sentir más satisfecho y Aún así obtenga el beneficio de
darle a su sistema digestivo un descanso de los alimentos sólidos. De cualquier manera, ¡tu
energía se sentirá increíble!
Sé flexible y diviértete
Para la mayoría de las personas, un ayuno líquido es una excelente manera de jugar con Nutrición

Treating Cancer
Everyone knows about allopathic medicines, especially in cancer, the bad effects of chemotherapy,
radiotherapy, and some of the steroids (mainly gluco corticoids and
cortico steroids).
They have done no good, but meanwhile produce secondary effects like, spinal oesteophorosis,
immuno suppression, and innumerable forms of disease.
We can improve quality of life, thereby strengthening the vital force (immunity) and curing, I
repeat, “cure of cancer”!
2. Treat the cause and not the effect (don’t bother very much to treat cancer, treat the cause, so
as to give vitality to the vital force- the body heals itself)
4. Remember that only the similimum can cure (don’t deviate from basic principles).
6. Do not change the medicine for minor complaints [don’t be in hurry to prescribe when there is
slight modification in the symptomatology (allow medicine to act)].
7. Point number 6 doesn’t mean that you should not change the medicines, it means GIVE
IMPORTANCE to the GENERALS.

Grundlage ist das Buch von Dr. Jens Wurster: Die homöopathische Behandlung und Heilung von
Krebs und metastasierter Tumore Verlag Peter Irl
Dr. Wurster praktiziert an der Clinica St. Croce im Tessin unter der Leitung von Dr. Dario Spinedi. Er
weist darauf hin, dass es unheimlich wichtig ist, dass viele Menschen wissen, dass Krebs heilbar ist,
durch die Homöopathie, Ärzte, Heilpraktiker und Laien.
Die beste Krebstherapie beginnt vor Ausbruch des Tumors. Zellen mutieren aus verschiedensten
Gründen ganz unbemerkt. Es dauert oft bis 40 Jahre, bis daraus eine Krebszelle wird. Menschen,
die homöopathisch behandelt werden, haben ein viel geringeres Risiko, an Krebs zu erkranken.
Der bekannte Schweizer Homöopath Dr. Künzli sagt, dass bei seinen Patienten, die er seit
Jahrzehnten begleitet, kein einziger an Krebs erkrankt ist.
Genaue Repertorisation

Die klinischen Symptome dürfen nicht verwendet werden. Später aber, am 02.08.1912 korrigierte

Dr. Wurster hat dies angewandt, aber festgestellt, dass diese Therapien oft sehr schmerzhaft
waren, obwohl auch er Erfolge verzeichnen konnte.
a) Konstitutionsanamnese
b) Miasmatische Anamnese (Erkennen des aktiven Miasmas und der miasmatischen Hintergründe)
c) Unterdrückungen
d) Vorangegangene Therapien (Es kann sein, dass eine Pulsatilla-Frau nach der Chemotherapie
aufgrund der Symptome erst einmal Nux-v. braucht)
b) Art des Erzählens: Angst, Verzweiflung, schnelles Reden, Hilfsbedürftigkeit, Ärger, Vorwürfe.
c) Der aktuelle Symptomenkomplex führt meist auf das aktuell angezeigte Mittel
e) Auffällige Symptome und lokale Symptome des Tumors sind die wichtigsten.
I. §153 - Symptome
II. Gemütszustand
III. Allgemeinsymptome
IV. Causa
V. Lokalsymptome
§153 - Symptome:
Auffallend an sich
Die meisten Menschen möchten ein bestimmtes Bild von sich abgeben. Man fragt über die
Phantasien (Träume). Nun sind wir auf der Ebene des Unterbewusstseins.
Eine gute Frage wäre auch: Angenommen Sie hätten einen Zauberstab, was würden Sie sich
wünschen? Man kann die Patienten Bilder malen lassen.
Was würden Sie an Ihrem Charakter verändern, wenn Sie etwas ändern könnten?
(Ungeduld…)
Gab es als Kind Ängste? Gibt es da jetzt noch welche? Gleich erzählen die Patienten ungern von
den Ängsten, aber über die Kindheit geht es leichter.
Die Tumoranamnese:
Welche Farbe?
Bei blutenden Carcinomen nimmt man auch die Rubrik Haut; Ulcera; Geschwüre; blutend.
Wurster: „Es kommen immer mehr Brust-CA-Rezidive nach Chemo und Bestrahlung.“
Calendula. Schwellungen/Knoten in Leisten/Achseln.
Welche Symptome waren vorhanden, als der Tumor entdeckt wurde (jucken, stechen…)
37j Patientin entdeckt einen 1cm großen harten Knoten in der Brust.
Conium
Wurster: Biopsie und Mammographie ist sehr umstritten, durch die Verletzung löst man Conium-
Zustände aus, und damit Tumore
Wir nehmen die Symptome, die für den Patienten am Schlimmsten sind, machen eine Liste.
Man beobachtet täglich, was passiert mit den Symptomen. Wir machen Tabellen von 1 - 10.
Wie stark ist der Schmerz heute, morgen… Wir beurteilen das Aussehen, Augen (klar, weiß),
Zunge (rote Zungenspitze, Zahneindrücke sind Energiedefizite - diese verschwinden, wenn der
Gesamtzustand besser wird)
Der Patient trägt nun täglich sein Befinden ein.
3. Die Q-Potenzen:
Wichtig ist die Verwendung der Original Q-Potenzen z.B. von Künzli, Schmidt-Nagel, in
Mohnsamengröße, Wurster verwendet keine LM - Potenzen.
Wurster beginnt mit der Q 3 - Potenz. Wichtig ist, dass die Patienten sich genau an die
Verabreichungsanweisungen halten. Am besten, sie bekommen es schriftlich, und lässt sie den
Vorgang
mündlich wiederholen.
Die Fehlerquote ist sehr hoch! Dadurch kommt es häufig zu argen Verschlimmerungen.
Bei neuen Mittel müssen unbedingt neue Flaschen verwendet werden, Ausspülen genügt nicht!!
Das neue Mittel wirkt dann oft nicht.
Wurster weist darauf hin, dass die wiederholten Mittel immer wieder etwas verändert werden
müssen, durch Verdünnen und Verschütteln.
Bei den C - Potenzen empfiehlt Kent die Folge C 30 - C 30 - C 200 - C 200 - C 1000 - C 1000.
Später weist Kent darauf hin, dass die Wiederholung einer Potenz in Wasser gelöst werden sollte.

Unter Conium gingen die Tumorzellen zurück, stiegen dann wieder gravierend an, obwohl sich der
Patient besser fühlt.
Wurster berichtet, dass manche auf eine Potenz besonders gut ansprechen, dann bleibt er dabei,
weil er gesehen hat, dass diese Menschen auf z.B. C 1000 nicht mehr so gut reagieren.
Am 11.2. 2008
Kein Krampfschmerz
Keine Magenprobleme
Keine Depression
Wichtig ist, diese alten Symptome nicht mehr mit Akutmitteln zu unterdrücken.
Wurster: Wenn jemand einmal einen Tumor hatte, muss er ein Leben lang homöopathisch betreut
werden. Denn wenn jemand so krank ist, dass er einen Tumor hervorbringt, muss er betreut
werden.
Wurster: Das P53 (Tumorsupressorgen) ist dafür zuständig, dass die Zellen repariert werden. Thuja
ist offensichtlich in der Lage, dieses P53 wieder zu aktivieren. Deshalb ist es wichtig, auf Thuja -
Symptome zu achten.
Als Repertorium verwendet Wurster als Basis das Kent Repertorium, und jetzt das Complete
Repertorium, das mit den Bönninghausen-Symptomen ergänzt wurde.

Es ist problematisch, wenn Patienten gleichzeitig Schüssler Salze oder andere Mittel gleichzeitig
nehmen, da man die Symptome nicht mehr ganz genau auseinander halten kann. Wenn, dann
muss man diese Mittel gezielt und bewusst einsetzen.
Bei akuten Erkrankungen während der chronische Therapie gibt Wurster sehr wohl Akutmittel
(Arn. nach Zahnextraktion), setzt dann wieder mit Q-Potenzen fort.
Es gibt aber auch Fälle, bei denen z.B. eine akute Angina Rheuma ausheilt. Es ist also
problematisch, Akuterkrankungen einfach zu therapieren, es könnte sich auch um
Bei Bestrahlungen empfiehlt Wurster Rad-br. C 30 2-3x in der Woche begleitend, um Folgen
möglichst zu vermeiden.
Mit der Homöopathie haben wir ein wunderbares Mittel bei der Tumorbehandlung. Jedoch,

Tumorentstehung:
- Die Mutationstheorie:
Laut Schulmedizin entsteht eine Krebszelle durch Mutation einer gesunden Zelle, Aktivierung von
Onkogenen +/o. Inaktivierung von Supressorganen.
- unkontrolliertes Zellwachstum
- Fähigkeit zur Bildung neuer Blutgefäße durch Angiogenese um die Eigenversorgung der Zelle zu
sichern. Dazu sendet die Krebszelle einen Botenstoff
- Eine Tumorzelle verbraucht 60% mehr Energie als eine gesunde Zelle
[Dr. Wurster]
Cholesterin ist ein wichtiger Schutzstoff für die Zelle. Wenn wir mit Cholesterinsenkern arbeiten,
zerstören wir die Zellen und fördern damit Krebs!
Vor 20 Jahren war der ideale Cholesterinwert 300, heute liegt er bei 180.
Ganz wichtig ist, die Zellmembran zu schützen. Es müsste gelingen, den Sauerstofftransport in die
Zelle wieder zu ermöglichen. Rote Bete Saft aktiviert
die Atmung der Zelle um 1000% und es kommt zur Rückverwandlung der Krebszellen in gesunde
Zellen.

Die Leber spielt eine große Rolle im Krebsgeschehen, Burnett weist darauf hin, dass Krebs nur
heilbar ist, wenn die Leber intakt ist.
Kent widerspricht dem - „selbst der kleinste Teil des Körpers darf niemals isoliert behandelt
werden…“
Kurz vor seinem Tod jedoch sagt Kent, dass „die wertvollen klinischen Symptome ebenso wichtig
sind“.
Wir müssen bei jedem Fall überlegen, wann nehmen wir die Totalität der Symptome, wann
handeln wir organotrop.

Bei Brustzysten handelt es sich um gutartige flüssigkeitsgefüllte Tumoren in der weiblichen Brust.
Zur Diagnosestellung, ob es sich tatsächlich um gutartige Brustzysten
handelt, wird zunächst ein Ultraschallbild gemacht. Wenn dieses Bild keinen eindeutigen Befund
ermöglicht, wird eine Punktion und Untersuchung der Zystenflüssigkeit
gemacht.

Dosierung: 4 Tage lang alle 2 Stunden eine Gabe Led. C 30 im Wechsel mit Bel-p. C 30
Sollte die Brust danach noch schmerzen, nehmen Sie weitere 2 Tage 2x täglich von jedem der
beiden Mittel eine Gabe. Zusätzlich nehmen Sie 3 - 4 Tage lang, zeitlich versetzt,
Naturheilkunde:
Solange die Wunde nicht verheilt ist, legen Sie nasse Kompressen mit
einer Calendula-Urtinktur/Wasser Mischung getränkt auf die Wunde (Mischverhältnis: l Tasse mit
200 ml lauwarmem Wasser und 20 Tropfen Calendula Urtinktur).
Nachdem die Wunde verheilt ist, reiben Sie die Brust täglich 2x mit Veilchenöl oder Veilchencreme
(nach einem Rezept von Hildegard von Bingen). Oft neue Kompressen nehmen.
Diese häufigsten, gutartigen Tumore der Brust bestehen überwiegend aus Bindegewebe und
haben eine glatte Kapsel. Viele Frauen stellen sich so eine Zyste vor, wie eine
Murmel im Brustgewebe. Ein Fibroadenom lässt sich leicht im Brustgewebe verschieben und ist oft
in der Nähe der Brustwarze angesiedelt. Der Knoten unterscheidet sich
deutlich vom übrigen Brustgewebe; seine Größe kann zwischen 5 Millimeter und 5 Zentimeter
liegen.
Der Arzt/Ärztin kann gewöhnlich schon bei der Tastuntersuchung feststellen, dass es sich um
ein Fibroadenom handelt.
Knapp ein Drittel aller Frauen vor den Wechseljahren sind davon betroffen. Damit ist
das Fibroadenom der häufigste aller gutartigen Tumoren der Brust,
15- bis 30-jährige Frauen sind am häufigsten betroffen. Ein weiterer Altersgipfel liegt bei 45- bis 55
Jahren. Auch nach den Wechseljahren können in seltenen Fällen
meist in Schüben erfolgt, und die Frauen dann erheblich beunruhigt. Besonders in der
Schwangerschaft können Fibroadenome infolge der kräftigen Hormonproduktion stark
wachsen. Doch das ist kein Grund zu Panik, wenn die Diagnose einmal durch eine Gewebeprobe
gesichert wurde. Denn: Fibroadenome wachsen, aber entarten extrem selten.
In der Mammografie und im Ultraschall ist der Knoten scharf abgegrenzt und damit
als Fibroadenom sichtbar.
Behandlung bei einer OP wegen eines Fibroandenomen: Siehe Brustzysten oben.

Schulmedizinisch gibt es keinen Erklärungsansatz für die Entstehung von Brustzysten und Zysten
überhaupt. NaturheilkundlInnen vertreten die Theorie, dass angesichts

und andere gutartige Tumore zu entfernen. Denn die Zyste hat ja die
Die Therapie besteht darin, durch eine mineralstoffreiche und ausleitende Ernährung eine
Entgiftung des Organismus zu erreichen und damit das Terrain für eine Zystenbildung
zu verringern.
Brustgesunde Ernährung
Rohkost
• Körnerkur
• Gerste
Kein Jodsalz
Fleisch und Wurst enthalten viele gesättigten Fette, die sich wieder um ungünstig auf unser
Hormonsystem auswirken. Sie fördern die Östrogensynthese des Körpers bzw.
Kein Stress
Stress erhöht die Durchlässigkeit der Darmschleimhaut für Giftstoffe, die die Leber nicht mehr
ausscheiden kann und die dann in die Brust gelangen. Deshalb ist es ein Behandlungsziel, die
Verdauung und Ausscheidung zu verbessern, die Durchblutung anzuregen, den Zellaustausch zu
erhöhen und damit auch die Säuberung von Schlacken.
Achtung: !! Schwangere und stillende Frauen sollen keinen Salbeitee oder Salbei in anderer Form
einnehmen !!
Basenreiche Ernährung: Insgesamt auf eine basenreiche Ernährung achten- Viel Gemüsesäfte
trinken um den Stoffwechsel basischer zu machen.

as a good palliative.
A very vast topic and it is very difficult to write everything about cancer in one editorial hence I
have decided to write about some cancer remedies which I have used clinically, quite successfully
I have also used it for certain type of sarcoma, amongst all the cancers the cancers where I have
used this remedy the most is the cancer of the cervix and of the mammary gland.
For the cancer of the cervix the most important symptom is the discharge from vagina. The
discharge is bloody, copious, very rarely greenish but offensive and purulent.
The usual history is that there is cervical erosion leading to formation of cancer. The U.S.G. shows
the enlarged uterus and gynec examination shows ulceration and erosion of the cervix. There is a
severe pain which ext. all the way up to anus or it may ext. all the way downwards to the thighs.
Pain is burning “As if coals are on fire”. This type of discharge
Many times looking at Carbo animalis patient as old looking and emaciated one may also think of
Sepia because Carbo animalis and Sepia both have brownish discoloration on the face and but
Sepia does not help in that kind of malignant state.
Other indication of Carbo animalis is cancer of the lymph nodes, they are enlarged and hard but
with this there is severe debility. The weakness is so much that slightest exertion produces sprain
or the cramp in the different parts of the body. When the cervical cancer metastasizes to lung then
the patient will have severe suffocative hoarse cough with offensive sputa, difficulty to raise the
expectoration, excessive dyspnoea and an offensive perspiration. Almost always worse in cold air
or in open air.
2nd Kreos.: I use frequently with cancer patients (face, nose, gums, stomach, intestine, colon,
rectum, ovaries, uterus, vagina, breasts and glands). The keynote feature of this
remedy if I can describe in one word is corrosiveness, it affects the mucous membrane of all the
above organs which I have just mentioned thereby producing severe inflammation accompanied
by acrid, corrosive, putrid, offensive and excoriating discharge. I have never seen such an
excoriating discharge in any other remedy except Kreosotum.
Another important thing is the destruction of the tissues; cancerous tissues are highly prone to
destructive changes like necrosis and gangrene. To begin with you get ulcerations and later on
these ulcerations are extremely sensitive to touch, slightest touch produces severe bleeding, the
ulcers are deep and discharges are yellowish, greenish, corrosive, offensive and fluid like, they are
highly prone to develop gangrenous or malignant changes.
Another very important aspect of Kreosotum is in cases of vomiting due to cancer of stomach;
there is severe and a constant nausea, < fasting and + burning pain in the stomach
< after eating. The burning pain may extend all the way to the ankle; there is severe vomiting +
coldness of the feet, vomiting < after eating or drinking. It’s very violent; any odor from anywhere
can induce a severe vomiting (frothy, mucus and stringy).
Emotionally they are people who have got strong tendency to weep easily with weakness of the
memory. The face is pale, the lips are cracked with offensive odor that comes
from the mouth, the tongue is pale. Any sort of uncovering or rubbing aggravates the patient. The
skin is dry and there is great desire to sleep constantly.
3st Hydr.: cancer of eyes, ears, nose, face, mouth (gums), palate, tongue, oesophagus, stomach,
colon, liver, pancreas, rectum, bladder, uterus, cervix, larynx, bronchus, mammae,
Usually indicated for people who are extremely debilitated and cachetic and who have a broken
down constitution by excessive use of alcohol; and that is why it has become a
very mportant remedy in my practice for the cancer of the liver or pancreas. The lymph glands
which are enlarged with this cancer are very hard, quite adherent to the skin, + puckering the skin
the pain in the glands are sharp cutting like a knife. In the cancer of the breast the nipples are
usually retracted; with cancer of the cervix then the leucorrhoea
is thick, ropy, viscid and yellow, hanging from the uterine os in long strings like
Kali bichromicum with excessive pruritus. If it is in the cancer of the nose then you get thick,
yellowish stringy mucus from the nasal passage and the person keeps on hawking very thick viscid
mucus from the posterior nares with excessive ulceration in the cancerous wound.
Almost all complaints + weakness and great physical prostration. Many times troublesome
palpitation is a very important concomitant.
Whenever liver or colon or intestines or pancreas are affected you will see that the liver is hard or
can be shrunken or if cirrhosis is accompanied. The spleen is enlarged.
There is a past history of gallstones. The liver pains are always travelling backwards towards the
right side, > lying on the back and patient feels < after lying on the right side.
The pain in the liver is usually cramping, cutting and sharp like a knife. Pains > passing flatus or
flexing the limbs towards the abdomen. The pain of the liver may extend to scapula; there is
rumbling and gurgling in the abdomen; + severe constipation + hemorrhoids, dryness in the
rectum and the constipation is extremely painful even giving purgatives or enema many times
does not help the patient, I have seen many times patients complaining of early morning diarrhoea
driving off the patient from the bed. The pain in the rectum always
< after stool or during the stool; there can be severe stricture in the rectum.
The tongue is coated yellow and slimy; the stools are pale and scanty. Vomiting is in the morning
with lot of mucus. There is a stomatitis or aphthous ulcer in the mouth.
Usually a history of chronic constipation and chronic gastric dyspepsia which was years preceding
the development of the cancer.

Discusión
El propósito de usar una aplicación tópica, como se mencionó anteriormente, es lograr una
concentración muy alta de componentes activos en la localización del tumor De otro modo, eso no
sería posible ni práctico. A pesar de que esas pieles Los cánceres son vistos como eventos locales,
es absolutamente esencial en mi opinión Agregue los enfoques generales de estilo de vida y
cambios nutricionales, homeopáticos y tratamientos generales a base de hierbas de acuerdo con
el conocimiento de cada profesional. El La presencia de un cáncer, incluso causado por una lesión
local clara, significa que el el sistema de defensa inmune ha sido superado o eludido; tiene
para ser restaurado a la normalidad para evitar recurrencias o la aparición de patologías más
profundas y agresivas. Este método, tal como se presenta aquí, implica el paciente en su
tratamiento 100% ya que controla completamente lo que está haciendo; También es Simple,
barato y eficaz a la vez que es libre de dolor y no agresivo hacia tejidos normales. Esto encaja
perfectamente con mi filosofía personal de "Power to la gente".
Utilizamos los flósculos del brócoli, pero ahora hemos cambiado a la Brotes. Ambos contienen la
mayor concentración de sustancias activas, el Los brotes son los más efectivos. La recomendación
original era exprimirlos de modo que las células se rompen y la cantidad máxima de sulforafano es
producido. Algunos exprimidores no pueden manejar los pequeños floretes o los brotes y muchos
pacientes
No tiene un exprimidor o no puede permitirse comprar uno. Un paciente resuelto Este problema
mediante el uso de un mortero y un mortero hasta que la planta se redujo a un Pulpa

Funcionó muy bien y ha funcionado bien con otros pacientes. Una vez que el El jugo se extrae, si se
usa un exprimidor, se mezcla con la pulpa seca hasta que se produzca un Mojado, casi goteando,
se crea "papilla". Esto es para que todos los activos Las sustancias están disponibles. Intentamos
usar el jugo con gasa o bolas de algodón en lugar de la pulpa seca; La actividad se redujo a casi
nada. Atribuyo Esto a la adsorción en las fibras de gasa / algodón. La "papilla" se pone
generosamente La lesión y cubierta con una película adhesiva (saran wrap, glad wrap) que
previene El líquido se escapa y aumenta la concentración local.
A continuación, se cubre de cualquier manera práctica posible, dependiendo de la ubicación del
BCC. Idealmente, esto debe cambiarse cada pocas horas para garantizar una saturación
permanente en los componentes activos.
Esto, por supuesto, no siempre es posible. Dejarlo durante la noche y cambiarlo El vendaje
durante la noche si se despierta es un método práctico y eficaz. El jugo o papilla debe prepararse
fresco cada vez. Guardarlo en la nevera es tentador; La actividad de la preparación disminuye con
el tiempo y podría no ser efectivo después de unas horas, de ahí la necesidad de cambiar la
aplicación como a menudo tan práctico con brócoli recién preparado. La planta en sí no deben ser
recién recogidos (los principios activos son principalmente intracelulares) o ser Orgánico: simple,

no ralentizará el tratamiento.

de BCC del cuero cabelludo
in a gentleman in his sixties following multiple sunburns in adolescence and adulthood, the first
application of broccoli gave the expected results. After the emergence of new lesions and
repeated treatment, two phenomena emerged: first, the whole area became red and inflamed
while the BCCs were quickly destroyed and replaced by ulcers, leading to the need to stop the
treatment after about a week, followed by a full healing; second was the appearance of small BCCs
in the same area during the treatment, which disappeared within a few days. The patient being
otherwise completely healthy and with a very strong immune system, I interpret the reactions as a
systemic assault of the immune system on the cancer cells that became recognisable as being
pathological once weakened by the treatment. At the same time, the CSCs were stimulated
(unproved assumption), started multiplying and were immediately destroyed by the combination
of the local treatment and the immune defences. An experimental application of the broccoli on
other spots not suspect of harbouring CSCs did not produce any reaction. This emphasizes the
need for simultaneous immune-stimulant treatment as well as general core homeopathic
treatment, which was the case for this patient.
Bleeding is controlled by local pressure, as no major vessel should be involved. This is an important
difference and advantage over “black salves”, the escharotic treatments, the local chemotherapy,
the local radiotherapy and of course surgery: all of them are not selective, destroy all the cells
indiscriminately, are often painful and leave scars that are sometimes mutilating. For the same
reasons, this treatment does not work on benign, non cancerous lesions (tried) and on warts
(tried). Once a treatment has been started, it is recommended to continue until at least 3-4 weeks
after the visible
or palpable lesion has disappeared, to insure each and every single cancerous cell has been
destroyed. This time is a “guesstimate” of course, but also a safety measure. Last but certainly not
least, it is simple and cheap, no special skills are needed except some help at the beginning to
learn how to dress the spot when in an awkward location. And it cannot be patented, although I
have seen some (expensive) creams and ointments containing broccoli extract: I challenge the real
activity and the concentration of those preparations.
Inevitably, some lesions will be resistant to the topical treatment. Within the same line of
reasoning, but without any clinical concrete results yet, I have suggested to replace the broccoli
with either green tea or turmeric. The green tea could be a tea bag barely wetted so that no
drinking tea is made but wet enough to have the fluid slowly escape; the turmeric should be of
excellent quality
(which is always a problem) and made into a paste. That paste should be oily as curcumin, the
active ingredient of turmeric, is lipid-soluble and will be more available if oil or fat is used. I
suggest the use of coconut oil as it also has some anti-cancer properties; the drawback is that it
becomes liquid at body temperature and might spill out of the local dressing. One option is also to
rotate those three different plants so that as many active ingredients as possible are put into
contact with the tumour.
Extending this practice to locally reachable lesions, I can imagine, but have not yet had the
opportunity to do so, using this method for cervical cancers or lower rectal cancers. One
theoretical advantage is that the active ingredients would also be absorbed using the same
lymphatic and venous pathways that metastases use, allowing for their treatment with high local
concentration, in parallel with a general treatment. A direct herbal treatment towards liver
metastases or even liver cancer, bypassing the digestive system via the portal system, is also an
extension of this method.
For the time being, I would not mix those three different herbs in one single “poultice” as I do not
have any idea whether the ingredients would react, precipitate, become inactive or on the
opposite would potentiate each other. I will leave this research to phytopharmacologists who have
access to laboratory equipment.
Conclusion
A natural topical treatment for some skin cancers has been presented. It is simple, cheap,
effective, based on research and scientific experimentation, painless and non-mutilating, and is
deprived of side-effects. It totally involves the patient in his own care and in case of failure does
not in any way prevent the application of other treatments. It should be the first choice, but also

Malignant melanoma from the anthroposophical point of view (Original title: Neurodermitis im
Kindesalter)
The physiological crossing phenomena of epidermal symbionts (melanocysts and Langerhans cells)
relate to important delimiting functions of the organism.
A connection exists between melanoma development and sunlight, with the light representing the
sum total of sensory impressions gained from the surrounding world. The particular characteristics
of a melanoma relate to the patient’s specific individual nature. Melanoma, a sense organ
developing in the wrong place, relates to the eye. Crossing the conscious will with the light taken
in from
outside (light-soul process) as a mission for our civilization provides the background for melanoma
as a disease of our time. Apart from resection, the most important measure for prevention and
The incidence of malignant melanoma has shown a steep increase in the white population
worldwide over the last 40 years; it is the tumour with the highest rate of increase. Even on its
own this fact
makes melanoma a disease of our time. A closer look at the characteristics of this skin condition
suggests that it has something to do with our modern lifestyle, and indeed with the spirit of our
age.
Below, the physiology of epidermal symbionts (melanocytes and Langerhans’ cells), characteristics
of melanoma and the character of the melanoma patient will be considered in some detail to
arrive
With melanoma the malignant tumour of pigment cells (melanocytes), it is helpful to make a
closer study of their origin and physiology. Melanocytes are of neuroectodermal origin; from the
8th week
determined by longitudinal growth of the embryo. In about the 12th week, the melanoblasts have
reached the dermis and now colonize the basal layer in the epidermis. Here they live in community
Seen from above, the isolated melanocytes are in approximately hexagonal relative positions, one
melanocyte providing pigment for 36 keratinocytes (functional epidermal melanin unit).
Being a symbiontic dendritic cell, the melanocyte has numerous branches (dendrites) for “filling
up” “its” keratinocytes with melanin. The keratinocytes put the melanin on the side that faces the
light,
1,000–2,000 melanocytes thus come to lie in a square millimetre of skin. The weight of all
melanocytes together in a human being is c. 1.5 g. What we see here is a powerful and penetrating
ordering
form principle. On the other hand, matter principles take hold of the melanocyte once melanin
production starts; “the melanocyte must be seen as a unicellular gland, as it were”
Summing up, we may say that the boundary function which the organism as a whole assigns to
melanocytes in the skin consists in responding to bright sunlight from without with material
substance
from within (the blackness of melanin). Light, on the other hand, is a vehicle for cosmic form
principles. The situation is immediately apparent in the wrinkles caused by chronic light damage –
the form principles of sunlight draw lines and furrows in the skin. Form principle from without thus
activates matter within.
Langerhans’ cells are also epidermal symbionts; from the 4th embryonic month they reach the
epidermis via the blood, forming the most peripheral outpost of the immune system in the prickle
cell layer.
Following contact with an antigen from outside, they leave the epidermis and migrate via the
afferent lymph to a lymph node where they initiate the specific immune response.
With Langerhans’ cells, the boundary function of the organism thus consists in responding to a
substance from outside (e. g. viral or bacterial antigens, contact allergens) by passing on
information (light) to the inner organism. It is only secondarily and later in time that matter is set
in motion from inside in the T cell-mediated immune response (contact eczema as an allergic
reaction of the delayed type).
The melanocyte was a nerve cell and is then involved in anabolism; the Langerhans’ cell was a
blood cell -blood is representative of metabolism- and gains sensory function. Finally the
difference
in the way the two kinds of cells perform their delimiting function may also be seen imaginatively
as a cross - the melanocyte responds to light from without with matter from inside; the
Langerhans’ cell responds to matter from outside with light directed inwards.
The crossing phenomenon is well known in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. With sensations
in the body, in the eyes and inner ear projected contralaterally in the cerebrum, the relevant nerve
tracts must cross.
What do such crossings signify? “Due to them, sensations enter into a sphere which is separate
from their area of origin. It is a sphere of higher consciousness ...
With the crossing, sensations connect with the human life of thought and ideas at the fields of
projection, a life which on its part relates to these projections, but is not part of them”. The
crossing of nerve tracts must thus be seen in conjunction with the human potential for rising from
conscious awareness to self awareness.
Another aspect to the significance of the crossing is found if we consider the E (German E, sounds
like “ay”) in eurythmy therapy. “The E fixes the I in the ether body”.
“We create the E by crossing the limbs, a point of contact arises. This contact makes us perceive
our own body. In the E, the arms cross, you close yourself off from the surrounding world.
The sensation is: The world has done something to me. Touching myself in this gesture, I can keep
myself upright in the face of this.” In sensory perception, the soul is given up to the outside world;
with the E, one faces it in self awareness. “We must make left and right intersect if we are to have
an I.” Crossing the limbs when doing the eurythmy-therapy E we strengthen the basis for
experience of self.
For the human form, the crossing is a specific form of movement, in the central nervous system
we have the “E gesture in organic fixation”, a neuroanatomical fact as those nerve tracts cross.
With the
epidermal symbionts, on the other hand, the crossing phenomena are at a purely functional level,
and thus deep down in the unconscious, in the sphere where astral body and ether body work
together.
They are connected with the I-organization and are ultimately created by it. The I effects the
integrity of the human body; it watches over foreign and native. This function of the I has failed in
the case of malignant melanoma, and the crossing situations we mentioned effect
decompensation.
First let us consider the kind of individual who tends to develop melanoma. The tumour is seen
mainly in white-skinned people. In a talk with workmen, R.S. spoke of white skin as reflecting the
light and heat of the sun from the body surface, rather like a snow-clad surface does in winter.
Light and heat are not taken in from outside but have to be generated inside. As a re
Langerhans’ cell
Migration from 4th embryonic month from bone marrow to prickle cell layer
In the case of melanocytic naevi, the melanocytes are called naevus cells; these also derive from
the neural crest, but are aggregated in nests. Naevus cells are spindle or star-shaped and may
produce melanin in different ways. These naevi are congenital or acquired after birth.
The term junction naevus is used when the naevus cells are in the region of transition from
epidermis to corium in the epidermis.
If there are naevus cell nests in the epidermis and the corium, the naevus is a compound one.
Dermal naevi are skin-coloured nodules, with the naevus cell nests exclusively in the corium.
When a melanocytic naevus loses its form principle, a dysplastic naevus with macroscopic signs
develops with incident-light microscopic and histological signs of atypical changes. The
macroscopic
signs show a diameter > 5 mm, asymmetry, irregular pigmentation and irregular margins. The
above pigmentation phenomena in the skin thus range from normal tanning, which shows great,
ordering form principles, to the dysplastic naevus where emancipation of the cellular principle is
to the fore; this can be shown in diagrammatic form
Taking the above results from studies together with the pigmentation phenomena, we can say in
general terms that a skin with numerous melanocytic naevi indicates exposure to external factors.
Exposure to the sun is only one of these; easy of access, it has been studied intensively. An analogy
for the origin of melanocytic naevi would be a tray evenly spread with gravel. Some impact causes
the stones to cluster. With actinic lentigines and melanocytic naevi as skin “imperfections”, the
melanocytes indicate regression of the ordering form principle; they are like degenerative
phenomena in the benign range.
The study where statistical means were used to show melanoma risk factors in the German-
speaking countries (16) offers further interesting information:
• Blue-collar workers have a reduced risk; clerical workers a slightly elevated risk; qualified white-
collar workers a greatly increased risk; the highest risk was found among the self-employed.
This fits in with the observation that malignant melanomas occur particularly in middle age (age
meridian of 53 years). This is the time when people face many demands from and obligations to
their surroundings which have the potential to cumulate in stress. The family has been
established, the children are at school or university; a house has been built and must still be paid
for.
At work, responsibility has been assumed; the individual is at the peak of his professional career.
He has an honorary post or two. The higher incidence of melanoma at this age indicates that
factors other than sun exposure are also involved; they may be subsumed under the title “foreign
form principles from outside”
A disposition for melanoma may also be partly genetic in origin, with c. 10% of all melanomas
showing increased incidence in families. R.S. and Ita Wegman generally ascribed hereditary
dispositions to the I-organization being unable to integrate normally in the organism as a whole.
Another characteristic melanoma phenomenon is association with other tumours.
It is not uncommon for melanoma patients to develop further primary melanomas. “Multiple
melanomas are particularly frequent in patients with dysplastic naevus cell naevi”. The incidence
of
non-melanocytic tumours in melanoma patients does not go beyond the general level, though
breast cancer is the most frequent second tumour in other organ systems. 651 women among
9034 melanoma patients developed a second tumour, in 104 of them breast cancer. This is
interesting if we consider that the mammary gland is an organ of the subcutis and breast cancer
therefore a tumor of the skin in the wider sense.
Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are both tumours of the skin as an organ, except that the
latter derives from the skin’s deepest and the former from its uppermost layer. Melanoma and
breast cancer have other things in common, too. Late metastases 10 or more years after surgical
removal of the primary tumour

- own aims is one of these, and the specific personality of patients also shows similarities.
A patient’s observation that a naevus has grown has been statistically identified as a sign of risk.
Even the vague statement that a blemish has changed or is itching, or that “something is not right”
with it, should be taken seriously. The skin as organ of the I-organization and of conscious
awareness makes it possible for a tumour process to rise from the darkness of subconscious
organic life into the twilight of dream-like bodily sensation, metaphorically knocking on the door of
daytime consciousness.
The natural location of melanocytes determines the site where the melanoma begins to grow. This
is the basal layer, the vital stratum in the epidermis. A special feature seen only with melanoma
and no other tumour is that growth is exclusively planar for years, spreading horizontally and only
intraepidermally (60 -75% of melanomas). This reflects the form principle to which they are
initially still subject and which keeps them in the epidermis. Growth in the vertical direction is
secondary, causing a nodule to develop. Significantly, primary melanomas may also occur in other
organs with surface boundaries - the mucosa, the chorion in the eye and the meninges.
Finally let us consider the special features of metastazation with melanoma. Progressive
metastazation goes from skin metastases in the immediate vicinity of the primary tumour (satellite
metastases) via skin metastases (usually subcutaneous) along the route from primary tumour to
the nearest lymph node (transit metastases) to regional lymph node metastases and finally
haematogenic metastazation. The latter does remarkably often affect regions where the organism
is in contact with the outside world skin, lungs, liver, brain. Organs with boundary surfaces may
also be affected - heart,lung, tonsils, duodenum, small intestine, kidneys. It is interesting to note
that melanoma metastases are always melanotic in the neurosensory system and often amelanotic
in metabolism and limbs.
Following Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas said that the soul is the “principle for existence” and the
“ground and basis for life”, its “configuring form” and “reality”. According to him, the form
principle comes from the soul sphere, and “the more noble a form, the more is it able to govern
bodily matter”. Every physician can see the noble nature of the human skin; we can conclude from
this that it is particularly closely connected with the soul.
R.S. gave a detailed description of how the human spirit, the I, lives in the soul. Referring to the
skin, he said: “In human beings, it is particularly the organs in the periphery which the I penetrates
fully, giving them their configuration”. We may thus call the skin an organ of the I or self. This is
the reason why pathological processes in the skin can be specifically and reliably found also at the
level of soul and spirit.
From a lecture R.S. 1924, describing the interaction between astral body and ether body in man,
we gain further insight for our question. The astral body has the tendency to make human beings
ill.
The ether body develops life in them; the astral body reduces it. Human feeling is based on the
constant to and fro in an unstable equilibrium between etheric and astral. Inflammatory changes
occur when the astral body is too powerful; proliferation results when the ether body is too
powerful. Considering the above-mentioned connection between feeling on the one hand and
interaction of astral body and ether body on the other,
R.S. said: “The human life of feeling is simply mirroring the life of the disease in the soul. - An
unstable equilibrium exists all the time in our perfectly normal life of feeling between
proliferations and inflammatory processes.” This insight can provide a rational basis for perceiving
the melanoma patient’s personality. Human beings only perceive things for which they are
conceptually prepared. Such work to gain insight must therefore be done. A physician who does
not think that there is a “cancer psyche” and melanoma personality will also be unable to see
these in his patients. R.S. concluded: “This makes it possible that in the human life of feeling we
are able altogether to see extraordinarily much of what disease processes represent. If one can
observe such things a long time before physical diagnosis of the disease is possible, it is possible to
establish the future illness from the fact that the life of feeling is no longer functioning properly.
The illness is but an abnormal life of feeling ... And essentially it is simply not possible to develop a
feeling for making a diagnosis unless one has a good eye for the inner life of human beings.”
The basic situation of melanoma patients, in body and soul, is characterized as the danger of losing
the balance between outer light and inner light. The boundary between inner and outer cannot be
maintained in body and soul, and ultimately foreign principles enter into the organism. It is not
surprising, then, to find the following personality traits with marked frequency in melanoma
patients. They are pleasant, correct in behaviour, adapted and over adapted to the social
environment, and easily guided by their physician. In a dermatological unit, physicians and nurses
will often remember melanoma patients for a long time because they were so pleasant. Following
the death of a melanoma patient, the author repeatedly heard nurses say: “It always strikes the
wrong people.” Other characteristics are being emotionally thin-skinned, sensitive, with a rich
inner life.
These patients do not use their elbows, psychologically speaking; one will even find a tendency to
be proverbially “blue-eyed” on occasion. Above, we considered the constellation of powers behind
blue eyes in the physical sense - the blood having less impulse power to drive “blackness” to the
periphery and as far as the eyes. This physical cum etheric situation is easily “translated” into soul
terms in that the proverbially blue-eyed tend to protect themselves less, are less likely to reflect
much on measures they’ll take on entering into a particular situation. In this sense, its is quite alien
to these patients to “plot and scheme” to the detriment of others.
The pigmented skin might be the physical correlate of “putting up a screen”. Being open to the
world means that melanoma patients are often prepared to listen to the concerns voiced by
others, and also have a heart for the problems of other nations. They will sometimes be intensely
involved socially and even take on more honorary positions than they are able to cope with.
The story of Thomas A. Dooley (born 1927) who died of malignant melanoma in 1961 may serve as
an example for the specific inner leanings of melanoma patients.
Dooley was a citizen of the U.S. of Irish origin. In 1954 (at the age of 27!) a physician in the US Navy
was sent to supervise the evacuation of refugees from communist N. Vietnam to free S. Vietnam,
and prevent epidemics from developing. He set up a tented camp for 15,000 refugees, with all
sanitary installations and the necessary administrative arrangements; later on there were
3 camps for a total of 30,000 refugees. He worked 14 or 15 hours a day, seeing patients and
operating. When on leave he went on lecture tours of North America, collecting money for
MEDICO,
This became one of the most significant humanitarian aid organizations in the 20th century. Dooley
wrote a detailed report on his work in Indochina. Details of his personal experiences taken from
this are given below.
His constant fear was that he might be suddenly posted elsewhere and that his successor,
however able, might not feel for the refugees and their troubles as he did. He and his colleagues
always suffered the torment of feeling inadequate, unable to smooth things over even
superficially. There was nowhere for them to go to escape from the unimaginable misery around
them. A free afternoon would bring a kind of guilt feeling, spoiling their pleasure in the brief
respite. Between the end of August 1954 and mid-May 1955 he lost a third of his body weight.
Daily routine went on uninterruptedly, in spite of several bouts of malaria, infection with four
different kinds of worms, and a very unpleasant skin eruption. The constant drain on his energies
and nerves did not worry him. The moral conflicts were much harder to bear. His conscience drove
him to do more and more to prevent himself from falling into doubt and despair. A kind of being-
at-school complex of never doing enough tormented him. They were always taken from one
extreme to another.
Now and then they would feel relaxed and well for a few hours, but then they would realize, with
sudden shock and pain, that they were living on the edge of hell. A colleague called Peter kept
telling him not to take things to heart so much. Dooley was often torn between going to see a
patient in the mountains whom no one else was able to treat, or leaving that man to himself and
performing his duties in the hospital.
Peter would tell him to stay where he belonged, and that he could not be everywhere at once. He
would reply that he could not let the man die; it was a moral responsibility.
In the late summer of 1959, Dooley fell off his bicycle and lacerated the right chest wall. Soon after
this, a malignant melanoma with regional lymph node involvement developed in that side.
It was surgically removed in September 1959. Dooley died 17 months later from the sequels of
metastazation.
In dermatological practice you will again and again see patients who are capable of great empathy.
This is particularly evident in the above example. The empathy must, however, be encompassed
by the I. It must be given order and form, a clearly defined place in the individual’s personality and
biography, so that it does not lead to giving oneself up completely. With melanoma patients there
is a danger of excessive empathy endangering the boundaries of the psyche. Foreign principles can
then break in.
The whole periphery of the human organism is predestined to be sense organ. The great variety of
sense organ is due to the fact that each particular sense organ serves perception of a particular
sensory quality. “The skin really makes the human being as a whole into a sense organ”. The skin
is, however, only made to perceive a particular sensory quality and far from all of them, e.g. not
light. It is the eye made for the light.
R.S. used the eye, the “most radical sensory organization”, as an example for describing the
development of a sense organ. “It is really created half from outside; it is integrated into the
organism.
The organism on its part ... leaves free the eye cavity. The eye is placed in this. This indicates that
the development of the eye mainly involves processes from outside the human being. The human
being merely receives it. With a sense organ as striking as the eye we can say that a foreign body is
integrated into the human organism”. R.S. made a blackboard sketch of this
He then considered the way the four bodies relate to each other in the eye. “Everything placed in
there, and in the case of the eye it actually is still partly etheric and not merely physical, is
encompassed by the astral body and the I-organization which in the eye are actually as far as
possible emancipated from the physical and the etheric.” In the central human being, e.g. in the
internal organs or in muscle, the four bodies are intimately brought together. “With the eye, the
situation is that I and astral body are closely bound together, and in the same way the other two
are intensively bound up with each other. A loose affinity exists between ether body and astral
body. This situation exists only in the eye”.
In another lecture, given to members of the medical profession, R.S. described how sense organs
can “only develop in the right way through the warmth and air organism in that the fluid organism
and the solid organism act against it, and we have a resultant of components. This means that it is
necessary for us to look at the relationship between physical organism, in so far as it comes to
repression in metabolism, for instance, and the sculpting organism, in so far as this comes to
expression in the neurosensory system. We must consider, as it were, how metabolism lets
something ray out, with matter taken in a radial direction, and how the matter is the sculpted in
the organs by the principle brought to it from the neurosensory system”. This can be shown in
schematic form.
It should be noted in this context that sunlight belongs at the top in as it moves etherically through
the air organism. The “resultant of components” we are here concerned with has been described
elsewhere by R.S. as “cross-over relationship” and “relationship in the growth of powers”. When
melanoma develops, the relationship of component powers is changed due to excessive sunlight
and other impressions from the human environment. In his lectures, R.S. would often speak of a
tumour being a sense organ developing in the wrong place. In the case of malignant melanoma
and the role which sunlight plays in its genesis, one immediately thinks of a relationship to the
eye. Using Steiner’s idea of the tumour as a dislocated sensory process we can thus say that
malignant melanoma
Pathologist Peter Ries of Hamelin, Germany, pointed out that there is a morphological similarity
between the pupil of the eye with its surrounding iris and the superficially spreading melanoma
with central regression. In both cases, pigmented cellular structures lie radially around a hole!
For greater understanding of the processes which in the case of malignant melanoma lead to a
sense organ developing in the wrong place, let us take a closer look at some aspects of the
organism’s way of dealing with light. R.S. spoke of human beings being able to produce “original
light” in their organism. “This inner light production goes to meet the influence of external light.
With regard
to the upper human being we are made in such a way that external light and inner light act against
each other in interplay, and the very essence of our organization rests on the fact that where
these two, external light and inner light, are meant to work together, we are able to prevent them
from merging, keeping them apart, so that they only act on one another but do not unite. As we
face external light, be it through the eye, be it through the skin, a screen is set up everywhere in
the human being between the inner, original oOrganization of eye.
I - in warmth organism
– radial form of matter light in us and the light that influences us from outside.”
We may therefore sum up and round off. The eye is the specific sense organ for light; here
external light is permitted to overcome the body’s boundary and, though outside world, continue
on
R.S. also referred to sense organs as “bays” ext. the organism from the outside world.
The human skin reacts to light by producing pigment; as we have seen, it takes in light only in the
qualitative sense and not in the physical sense, which the eye does. In the light metabolism of the
human organism, the generation of inner light is stimulated by external light. Inner light, being
light ether, is content of the ether body. The light ether lives in the air organism and it is through
this that the astral body incarnates.
A stream of light pours into the inner human being via the upper human being, when external light
(= light ether) has been taken in as quality by the sense organs and the skin. In the upper human
being, light creates thought: “Thought arises from light. Thought weaves in the light”. In the lower
human being the form principle active in the light ether lets boundaries develop, fully forming
out the whole human being down to the level of individual organs.
Considering the relationship between light and human existence in the physical body as well as in
soul and spirit, and the role which sunlight plays in melanoma development, the question arises if
people relate to light in a particular way today. An answer may be found from anthroposophy as a
whole in so far as it makes it clear to modern people that it is now necessary for human beings to
oppose the centripetal stream of incoming sensory impressions, of light, with inner activity and
the will to gain insight, which move centrifugally. R.S.: “We must grow aware of a much more
subtle relationship to the outside world, which means that with regard to our ether body,
something is happening which must come more and more to conscious awareness, similar to the
breathing process. In breathing, we inhale fresh oxygen and exhale useless carbon dioxide air.
A similar process exists in our sensory perceptions. - We ... must develop the subtle aspects in
dealing with the world so that as we take that world in we have not only sensory perception but
also something which is of the spirit. - World thoughts influence us from without, and the human
will acts from inside to outside. – We must come to feel how the will acts through the eyes, and
how the activity of the senses does indeed merge into our passivity, so that world thoughts cross
with human will.
—We must ... if we make light the general representative of sensory perception, rise to the
thought that light has soul”. Everything coming to us, to our senses, from the human environment
is light.
R.S. spoke of a “light-soul process” characteristic of the Michaelic age, with the soul passing
through cosmic space on the wings of light.
There seems to be an evident connection between the crossing of world thoughts and human will
which R.S. said was the mission of our present civilization, and the crossing phenomenon seen
with epidermal symbionts.
The connection may be considered to lie in the fact that a wisdom reveals itself in the phenomena
of those symbionts which lies dormant deep down in the unconscious human organism, waiting to
be brought to light of day in that process of civilization.
The words R.S. gave as spoken by Michael, the spirit of our age, about modern humanity point to
this:
“The power of the spirit sun shines on their souls; the Christ is at work; but they are not able to
heed this. Power of the spiritual soul is active in the body; it does not yet want to come to the soul
”.
This power of the spiritual soul unfolds in the light-soul process as human beings compel their will
towards perception, to deliver the world thought from the sense-perceptible world.
One example of the many such efforts being made in our present civilization is Goethean natural
science. If people fail, however, to connect the will with sensory perception, so that the power of
the spiritual soul is not elevated in the body, then that soul will cause morbidity. We are thus able
to see a light-soul process not brought to realization as a possible cause for development of
malignant tumours and especially melanomas.
Feeling plays an important role when world thoughts cross with the human will consciously
brought into play on the soul’s boundary. From the midst of feeling comes the individual
relationship between thoughts from without and will from within, a relationship which is different
for everyone. Developing a feeling for both spheres we develop the ability to find always the right
measure.
In the case of Thomas A. Dooley it is evident that a feeling for his own needs and the necessity for
protecting himself were not adequately met. The needs of others around him touched him too
deeply, on the other hand.
R.S. described the conditions for life in soul and spirit in the present Michaelic age in more detail,
saying that anything which has developed in the past, God’s work, must only influence the human
I from the environment. Freedom in human inner life must be developed in our time but is only
guaranteed if the impulse from the human environment, from nature, the work of divine spirits,
extends to the I and does not influence the ether body and the physical body. Sunlight is the
influence of something evolved in the past; a tendency for melanoma develops if we allow it to act
on our physical body and ether body and not at all or too little on the I.
The world thought in sunlight must only influence the conscious human will; this is a condition
with the light-soul process, a process which demands freedom in human inner life.
In the lecture where he described the crossing of the world thought with the human will in the
light-soul process, R.S. gave an example for will activity. This is the fading after-image when the
eye has perceived something.
This after-image is an objective fact in the world ether. It is interesting to note that patients
undergoing chemotherapy lose the ability to see complementary colours in the after-image. This
reveals the nature of chemotherapy.
The connections established between sunlight and melanoma development show that with
melanoma, the tumour process is in two phases. In the first phase, foreign principles from the
human environment irrupt into the organism; this is a dynamic process with no physical correlate.
In the second phase we get the catastrophe of form due to emancipation of the cellular principle;
the tumour process becomes physical. In the first phase the healthy relationship between the four
bodies in the skin is upset by sunburn, especially in childhood and youth. I and astral body live in
the light of the senses; this gains too much power in its centripetal activity.
It overcomes the body’s boundary, irrupts into the organism and creates a bay
R.S. went into more detail in a lecture given to members of the medical profession. “I-organization
and astral organization getting too powerful in the neurosensory organism someone drive this
whole organization into the organization of metabolism and limbs”. This leads to the beginnings of
a sense organ in the wrong place and to carcinoma. Applied to melanoma this means that the
higher bodies are too strongly active in the light, damaging the melanocytes which are an element
in metabolism (“unicellular gland”) in a functional sense that goes beyond the physical. This
describes the process immediately as sunburn develops; a later sequel is loosening of the
connecting between higher and lower bodies, as described for the physiological condition in the
eye. This pathologically loosened the connection between the four bodies is the cause of the
increased melanoma risk. It persists for decades with no symptoms. It needs biographical crises,
professional overwork and strokes of destiny that are too much for the delicate soul and
constitution to bring on phase 2, with the tumour process becoming manifest. The loosening of
the bond between higher and lower bodies then causes the connection between the body’s own
form principle and the matter principle to be broken in the melanocyte. The cellular principle, in
which the physical body is active, loses its power to maintain form, a power subject to the
impulses of the higher bodies.
A dynamic fact, fills up with melanoma cells and can now be measured as a vertical tumour
diameter (Breslow index). (The etheric bay will, however, always be greater in dimension that the
tumour itself, comparable to a crystal and the lustre around it.)
Interestingly, Dr Dooley had a laceration preceding the melanoma. In dermatological practice, one
hears patients say again and again that the melanoma was preceded by a mechanical trauma. R.S.
also gave “mechanical insult”, “prolonged exposure to high temperatures or a burn” as examples
of triggers for a “tendency to develop a sense organ” in the wrong place and thus tumour
development. He spoke of a breast being struck as the origin of breast cancer. This means a
centripetal action from outside towards the inner organism, “which makes the astral body appear
most powerfully in the site, whereas it is normally absorbed by the ether body. When the astral
body suddenly shows itself in the site, it appears ... in a glow of light, as if burning. When it shows
itself
like this we have a tendency to develop a sensory effect in the site, a carcinoma develops”.
Hyperergic phenomena such as rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis, urticaria, polymorphic light
dermatitis, eosinophilia, penicillin and iodine allergy are common in the history leading up to
melanoma. When a member of the audience in R.S.’s discussions with workmen asked him about
hayfever, being a sufferer, the answer was: “No one whose whole body has a disposition from the
beginning to develop hardening of the arteries is likely to get hayfever, for hayfever is the very
opposite of hardening of the arteries. ... Your hayfever is a kind of valve to prevent sclerosis”.
Sclerosis and tumour are cold conditions; hyperergia is a warm, inflammatory process with
emphasis on blood impulses and may therefore be considered an attempt at self healing if there is
a tumour disposition.
This is what R.S. meant by “valve”. The author is aware that many aspects of malignant melanoma
(personality, developing a sense organ in the wrong place) also apply to any other tumour process.
Unlike practically all other tumours, melanoma has the special feature that the phenomena are
superficial in the truest sense of the word and therefore apparent.
Melanoma truly is “no marginal phenomenon in oncology, nor a special case, however interesting
medically, but in many respects absolutely exemplary for cancer growth in general”(50), in the
terms of both natural science and the anthroposophical philosophy of man. With any tumour you
have patients who have none of the relevant risk factors. Melanoma patients who have avoided
the sun all their life, being fair-skinned, may also have no stress in their occupational or private
lives.
Patients like these may make physicians think that one does not get the number of melanoma
patients among the part of the Central European population who are exposed to intensive UV
radiation on the shores of the Mediterranean or even in Far Eastern countries which one would
expect.

proportion of melanoma cases (with regard e. g. to absence of UV exposure) are found in parts of
the population who handle themselves and their environment with great awareness; placed
outside the risk group in compensation, as it were. R.S. spoke of “certain disease potentials
covering whole broad territories”;
considering it possible that a disease may manifest if not in one place then in another within a
large population if the times demand it. The question is, therefore, if there are perhaps melanoma
patients who, being sensitive and having fine minds, take on the tumour tendency of an age on
behalf of others, as it were. Considering that R.S. asked us to grasp carcinoma as a sense organ in
the wrong place, Christa-Johanna Bub-Jachens posed the question in this journal two years ago:
What does a carcinoma as a sense organ sense? Her answer: “Might it not be the case that the
carcinoma perceives the materialistic outside world, the materialistic emergency state of today?
As the eye is created by the light for the light, so carcinoma as catastrophe of form may be created
by materialism as a spiritual catastrophe. In that case, carcinoma would be a kind of image of
humanity’s spiritual need, its function being to perceive this need”. Surely this applies particularly
in the case of malignant melanoma.Prevention and treatment
If there is a melanoma disposition, one preventive measure is to avoid too much sunlight. A
watchful eye must also be kept on all other influences and demands coming from outside in
everyday life and the biography, lest the right measure be exceeded. Sunscreen preparations are
generally assumed to prevent epithelial skin tumours; but a number of epidemiological studies in
recent years have cast some doubt on this.
According to them, the fact that the epidermis can no longer produce natural photoprotection
when sunscreen has been applied is a negative aspect. Patients should therefore be advised to use
textiles to keep off the sun and common sense in gaining a tan, observing the right measure and
necessary time.
Endogenous protection can consist in efforts to do justice to the light, the sensory impressions and
all demands that life brings. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that heaven is the eyes’ daily bread.
We may add the words of Angelus Silesius: “Bread alone does not feed us; what feeds us in the
bread is God’s eternal word, is life and is spirit.” This spirit which confers life is the “world
thinking”, the world thought which needs effort of human will to deliver it from sensory
impressions. This “will of humanity”(45), which must work on the sensory impressions, makes
human beings more resistant to the irruption of foreign principles. If a patient asks how he can
protect himself from the sun on a journey to Greece, we can say, therefore, that he should take
along a good book on Greek temples and his diary. Melanoma prevention in this sense consists in
perceiving the architectural idea of the Greek temple in the dazzling sun and working through
what one has seen by putting it in one’s diary at night.
The first measure when macroscopic and incident light microscopic diagnosis suggest the
possibility of primary malignant melanoma is surgery. Major studies done in the early 1990s have
shown that a large safety margin with surgical removal and general anaesthesia offer no
advantages. Today’s recommended safety margins are so small that it is often possible to have
daysurgery and local anaesthesia. Aggressive oncological treatments for metastasizing malignant
melanoma continue to be unsatisfactory as they do not extend life at all, yet seriously reduce
quality of life. Only interferon has given some results, often with severe side effects.
In the natural world we find the process corresponding to malignant melanoma development in
mistletoe (Viscum alba).
Mistletoe grows like a parasite on trees, separating itself from the forces of the earth and moving
closer to the imponderable light and warmth which stream to the earth from the cosmos.
This gives mistletoe a phosphor-like action with a tendency to flower and fruit development and
this addresses itself directly to the “bay”. The plant is therefore in a position to compensate the
inadequate activity of the higher bodies in the warmth, light and air organism directed towards
the fluid and solid organism. The many unusual characteristics of mistletoe, which emancipates
itself from the normal laws of plant life, also make it medicinal.
The rhythm of its life through the seasons is the inverse of that of other plants. It flowers and fruits
in winter when (at least on broad-leaved trees) it is exposed to the winter sun once the leaves
have dropped in autumn.
On the other hand the foliage protects mistletoe from the summer sun. Pine has an inner
connection with light and warmth qualities.
Mistletoe grown on it (Viscum pini) is suitable for treating melanoma. The best results in mistletoe
therapy for melanoma have been seen with pine-grown mistletoe.
If there is a disposition (numerous naevi, dysplastic naevi, family history), it is advisable to give a
prophylactic course of Iscador P in spring and autumn. Prescribe Series 0, one ampoule s.c. under
the abdominal skin every second day in the morning, with 14 days interval after the first series. If
surgery is required or a primary melanoma has been removed, inject one ampoule of Iscador P
every second day (or 3x weekly), following
Series 0 with Series 1 and continuing the latter without interruption. If metastases develop,
mistletoe treatment can be intensified by giving it i.v. -Iscador P, 1 mg- 20 mg, increasing with
caution, in 250 ml of saline once a week over a period of c. 2 hours. Intolerance reactions are
uncommon with this slow i.v. infusion.
Mistletoe treatment helps with the evolution of neoplastic disease and also benefits the patient’s
general condition. Its comprehensive action, also on the psyche, is illustrated by the words of a
patient who seven years after surgical removal of three primary melanomas developed a
metastatic breast tumour. Asked what mistletoe treatment meant to her she said: “Mistletoe
makes me feel positive about life; it stops me from drowning in misery. It maintains my humanity,
so that I came well through chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I was able to live a normal life at
work and in caring for my family, and overcome the whole crisis of tumour disease using mistletoe
preparations from different manufacturers (Iscador, Helixor, Abnoba Viscum, Iscucin)!”

confirmados recientemente en un estudio realizado como un estudio multicéntrico, comparativo,

Discusión
El propósito de usar una aplicación tópica, como se mencionó anteriormente, es lograr una
concentración muy alta de componentes activos en la localización del tumor De otro modo, eso no
sería posible ni práctico. A pesar de que esas pieles Los cánceres son vistos como eventos locales,
es absolutamente esencial en mi opinión Agregue los enfoques generales de estilo de vida y
cambios nutricionales, homeopáticos y tratamientos generales a base de hierbas de acuerdo con
el conocimiento de cada profesional. El La presencia de un cáncer, incluso causado por una lesión
local clara, significa que el el sistema de defensa inmune ha sido superado o eludido; tiene

perfectamente con mi filosofía personal de "Power to la gente".
Utilizamos los flósculos del brócoli, pero ahora hemos cambiado a la Brotes. Ambos contienen la

original era exprimirlos de modo que las células se rompen y la cantidad máxima de sulforafano es
producido. Algunos exprimidores no pueden manejar los pequeños floretes o los brotes y muchos

de BCC del cuero cabelludo
in a gentleman in his sixties following multiple sunburns in adolescence and adulthood, the first
application of broccoli gave the expected results. After the emergence of new lesions and
repeated treatment, two phenomena emerged: first, the whole area became red and inflamed
while the BCCs were quickly destroyed and replaced by ulcers, leading to the need to stop the
treatment after about a week, followed by a full healing; second was the appearance of small BCCs
in the same area during the treatment, which disappeared within a few days. The patient being
otherwise completely healthy and with a very strong immune system, I interpret the reactions as a
systemic assault of the immune system on the cancer cells that became recognisable as being
pathological once weakened by the treatment. At the same time, the CSCs were stimulated
(unproved assumption), started multiplying and were immediately destroyed by the combination
of the local treatment and the immune defences. An experimental application of the broccoli on
other spots not suspect of harbouring CSCs did not produce any reaction. This emphasizes the
need for simultaneous immune-stimulant treatment as well as general core homeopathic
treatment, which was the case for this patient.
Bleeding is controlled by local pressure, as no major vessel should be involved. This is an important
difference and advantage over “black salves”, the escharotic treatments, the local chemotherapy,
the local radiotherapy and of course surgery: all of them are not selective, destroy all the cells
indiscriminately, are often painful and leave scars that are sometimes mutilating. For the same
reasons, this treatment does not work on benign, non cancerous lesions (tried) and on warts
(tried). Once a treatment has been started, it is recommended to continue until at least 3-4 weeks
after the visible
or palpable lesion has disappeared, to insure each and every single cancerous cell has been
destroyed. This time is a “guesstimate” of course, but also a safety measure. Last but certainly not
least, it is simple and cheap, no special skills are needed except some help at the beginning to
learn how to dress the spot when in an awkward location. And it cannot be patented, although I
have seen some (expensive) creams and ointments containing broccoli extract: I challenge the real
activity and the concentration of those preparations.
Inevitably, some lesions will be resistant to the topical treatment. Within the same line of
reasoning, but without any clinical concrete results yet, I have suggested to replace the broccoli
with either green tea or turmeric. The green tea could be a tea bag barely wetted so that no
drinking tea is made but wet enough to have the fluid slowly escape; the turmeric should be of
excellent quality

anticancerígenas; El inconveniente es que se vuelve líquido en temperatura corporal y podría
derramarse fuera del apósito local. Una opción también es rotar esas tres plantas diferentes para
que tantos ingredientes activos como posibles se ponen en contacto con el tumor.
Extendiendo esta práctica a lesiones localmente alcanzables, puedo imaginar, pero aún no han
tenido la oportunidad de hacerlo, utilizando este método para cervicales cánceres o cánceres
rectales inferiores. Una ventaja teórica es que el activo Los ingredientes también se absorberían

tratamiento con alta concentración, en paralelo con un tratamiento general. Un tratamiento
herbal directo hacia metástasis hepáticas o incluso cáncer de hígado, sin pasar por el sistema
digestivo a través del sistema de portal, también es una extensión de este método.
Por el momento, no mezclaría esas tres hierbas diferentes en una sola. solo "cataplasma" ya que
no tengo idea de si los ingredientes reaccionar, precipitar, volverse inactivo o por el contrario
potenciaría cada Otro. Dejaré esta investigación a los fitofarmacólogos que tienen acceso a equipo

Conclusión
Se ha presentado un tratamiento tópico natural para algunos cánceres de piel. Eso es simple,
barato, eficaz, basado en la investigación y la experimentación científica, indoloro y no mutilante,
y está privado de efectos secundarios. Es totalmente involucra al paciente en su propio cuidado y
en caso de fracaso no lo hace de ninguna manera prevenir la aplicación de otros tratamientos.

¿Qué significan tales cruces? "Debido a ellos, las sensaciones entran en un esfera que está
separada de su área de origen. Es una esfera de conciencia...
With the crossing, sensations connect with the human life of thought and ideas at the fields of
projection, a life which on its part relates to these projections, but is not part of them”. The
crossing of nerve tracts must thus be seen in conjunction with the human potential for rising from
conscious awareness to self awareness.
Another aspect to the significance of the crossing is found if we consider the E (German E, sounds
like “ay”) in eurythmy therapy. “The E fixes the I in the ether body”.
“We create the E by crossing the limbs, a point of contact arises. This contact makes us perceive
our own body. In the E, the arms cross, you close yourself off from the surrounding world.
The sensation is: The world has done something to me. Touching myself in this gesture, I can keep
myself upright in the face of this.” In sensory perception, the soul is given up to the outside world;
with the E, one faces it in self awareness. “We must make left and right intersect if we are to have
an I.” Crossing the limbs when doing the eurythmy-therapy E we strengthen the basis for
experience of self.
For the human form, the crossing is a specific form of movement, in the central nervous system
we have the “E gesture in organic fixation”, a neuroanatomical fact as those nerve tracts cross.
With the
epidermal symbionts, on the other hand, the crossing phenomena are at a purely functional level,
and thus deep down in the unconscious, in the sphere where astral body and ether body work
together.
They are connected with the I-organization and are ultimately created by it. The I effects the
integrity of the human body; it watches over foreign and native. This function of the I has failed in
the case of malignant melanoma, and the crossing situations we mentioned effect
decompensation.
First let us consider the kind of individual who tends to develop melanoma. The tumour is seen
mainly in white-skinned people. In a talk with workmen, R.S. spoke of white skin as reflecting the
light and heat of the sun from the body surface, rather like a snow-clad surface does in winter.
Light and heat are not taken in from outside but have to be generated inside. As a re

In the case of melanocytic naevi, the melanocytes are called naevus cells; these also derive from
the neural crest, but are aggregated in nests. Naevus cells are spindle or star-shaped and may
produce melanin in different ways. These naevi are congenital or acquired after birth.
The term junction naevus is used when the naevus cells are in the region of transition from
epidermis to corium in the epidermis.
If there are naevus cell nests in the epidermis and the corium, the naevus is a compound one.
Dermal naevi are skin-coloured nodules, with the naevus cell nests exclusively in the corium.
When a melanocytic naevus loses its form principle, a dysplastic naevus with macroscopic signs
develops with incident-light microscopic and histological signs of atypical changes. The
macroscopic
signs show a diameter > 5 mm, asymmetry, irregular pigmentation and irregular margins. The
above pigmentation phenomena in the skin thus range from normal tanning, which shows great,
ordering form principles, to the dysplastic naevus where emancipation of the cellular principle is
to the fore; this can be shown in diagrammatic form
Taking the above results from studies together with the pigmentation phenomena, we can say in
general terms that a skin with numerous melanocytic naevi indicates exposure to external factors.
Exposure to the sun is only one of these; easy of access, it has been studied intensively. An analogy
for the origin of melanocytic naevi would be a tray evenly spread with gravel. Some impact causes
the stones to cluster. With actinic lentigines and melanocytic naevi as skin “imperfections”, the
melanocytes indicate regression of the ordering form principle; they are like degenerative
phenomena in the benign range.
The study where statistical means were used to show melanoma risk factors in the German-
speaking countries (16) offers further interesting information:
• Blue-collar workers have a reduced risk; clerical workers a slightly elevated risk; qualified white-
collar workers a greatly increased risk; the highest risk was found among the self-employed.
This fits in with the observation that malignant melanomas occur particularly in middle age (age
meridian of 53 years). This is the time when people face many demands from and obligations to
their surroundings which have the potential to cumulate in stress. The family has been
established, the children are at school or university; a house has been built and must still be paid
for.
At work, responsibility has been assumed; the individual is at the peak of his professional career.
He has an honorary post or two. The higher incidence of melanoma at this age indicates that
factors other than sun exposure are also involved; they may be subsumed under the title “foreign
form principles from outside”
A disposition for melanoma may also be partly genetic in origin, with c. 10% of all melanomas
showing increased incidence in families. R.S. and Ita Wegman generally ascribed hereditary
dispositions to the I-organization being unable to integrate normally in the organism as a whole.
Another characteristic melanoma phenomenon is association with other tumours.
It is not uncommon for melanoma patients to develop further primary melanomas. “Multiple
melanomas are particularly frequent in patients with dysplastic naevus cell naevi”. The incidence
of
non-melanocytic tumours in melanoma patients does not go beyond the general level, though
breast cancer is the most frequent second tumour in other organ systems. 651 women among
9034 melanoma patients developed a second tumour, in 104 of them breast cancer. This is
interesting if we consider that the mammary gland is an organ of the subcutis and breast cancer
therefore a tumor of the skin in the wider sense.
Malignant melanoma and breast cancer are both tumours of the skin as an organ, except that the
latter derives from the skin’s deepest and the former from its uppermost layer. Melanoma and
breast cancer have other things in common, too. Late metastases 10 or more years after surgical

- own aims is one of these, and the specific personality of patients also shows similarities.
A patient’s observation that a naevus has grown has been statistically identified as a sign of risk.
Even the vague statement that a blemish has changed or is itching, or that “something is not right”
with it, should be taken seriously. The skin as organ of the I-organization and of conscious
awareness makes it possible for a tumour process to rise from the darkness of subconscious
organic life into the twilight of dream-like bodily sensation, metaphorically knocking on the door of
daytime consciousness.
The natural location of melanocytes determines the site where the melanoma begins to grow. This
is the basal layer, the vital stratum in the epidermis. A special feature seen only with melanoma
and no other tumour is that growth is exclusively planar for years, spreading horizontally and only
intraepidermally (60 -75% of melanomas). This reflects the form principle to which they are
initially still subject and which keeps them in the epidermis. Growth in the vertical direction is
secondary, causing a nodule to develop. Significantly, primary melanomas may also occur in other
organs with surface boundaries - the mucosa, the chorion in the eye and the meninges.
Finally let us consider the special features of metastazation with melanoma. Progressive
metastazation goes from skin metastases in the immediate vicinity of the primary tumour (satellite
metastases) via skin metastases (usually subcutaneous) along the route from primary tumour to
the nearest lymph node (transit metastases) to regional lymph node metastases and finally
haematogenic metastazation. The latter does remarkably often affect regions where the organism
is in contact with the outside world skin, lungs, liver, brain. Organs with boundary surfaces may
also be affected - heart,lung, tonsils, duodenum, small intestine, kidneys. It is interesting to note
that melanoma metastases are always melanotic in the neurosensory system and often amelanotic
in metabolism and limbs.
Following Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas said that the soul is the “principle for existence” and the
“ground and basis for life”, its “configuring form” and “reality”. According to him, the form
principle comes from the soul sphere, and “the more noble a form, the more is it able to govern
bodily matter”. Every physician can see the noble nature of the human skin; we can conclude from
this that it is particularly closely connected with the soul.
R.S. gave a detailed description of how the human spirit, the I, lives in the soul. Referring to the
skin, he said: “In human beings, it is particularly the organs in the periphery which the I penetrates
fully, giving them their configuration”. We may thus call the skin an organ of the I or self. This is
the reason why pathological processes in the skin can be specifically and reliably found also at the
level of soul and spirit.
From a lecture R.S. 1924, describing the interaction between astral body and ether body in man,
we gain further insight for our question. The astral body has the tendency to make human beings
ill.
The ether body develops life in them; the astral body reduces it. Human feeling is based on the
constant to and fro in an unstable equilibrium between etheric and astral. Inflammatory changes
occur when the astral body is too powerful; proliferation results when the ether body is too
powerful. Considering the above-mentioned connection between feeling on the one hand and
interaction of astral body and ether body on the other,
R.S. said: “The human life of feeling is simply mirroring the life of the disease in the soul. - An
unstable equilibrium exists all the time in our perfectly normal life of feeling between
proliferations and inflammatory processes.” This insight can provide a rational basis for perceiving
the melanoma patient’s personality. Human beings only perceive things for which they are
conceptually prepared. Such work to gain insight must therefore be done. A physician who does
not think that there is a “cancer psyche” and melanoma personality will also be unable to see
these in his patients. R.S. concluded: “This makes it possible that in the human life of feeling we
are able altogether to see extraordinarily much of what disease processes represent. If one can
observe such things a long time before physical diagnosis of the disease is possible, it is possible to
establish the future illness from the fact that the life of feeling is no longer functioning properly.
The illness is but an abnormal life of feeling ... And essentially it is simply not possible to develop a
feeling for making a diagnosis unless one has a good eye for the inner life of human beings.”
The basic situation of melanoma patients, in body and soul, is characterized as the danger of losing
the balance between outer light and inner light. The boundary between inner and outer cannot be
maintained in body and soul, and ultimately foreign principles enter into the organism. It is not
surprising, then, to find the following personality traits with marked frequency in melanoma
patients. They are pleasant, correct in behaviour, adapted and over adapted to the social
environment, and easily guided by their physician. In a dermatological unit, physicians and nurses
will often remember melanoma patients for a long time because they were so pleasant. Following
the death of a melanoma patient, the author repeatedly heard nurses say: “It always strikes the
wrong people.” Other characteristics are being emotionally thin-skinned, sensitive, with a rich
inner life.
These patients do not use their elbows, psychologically speaking; one will even find a tendency to
be proverbially “blue-eyed” on occasion. Above, we considered the constellation of powers behind
blue eyes in the physical sense - the blood having less impulse power to drive “blackness” to the
periphery and as far as the eyes. This physical cum etheric situation is easily “translated” into soul
terms in that the proverbially blue-eyed tend to protect themselves less, are less likely to reflect
much on measures they’ll take on entering into a particular situation. In this sense, its is quite alien
to these patients to “plot and scheme” to the detriment of others.
The pigmented skin might be the physical correlate of “putting up a screen”. Being open to the
world means that melanoma patients are often prepared to listen to the concerns voiced by
others, and also have a heart for the problems of other nations. They will sometimes be intensely
involved socially and even take on more honorary positions than they are able to cope with.
The story of Thomas A. Dooley (born 1927) who died of malignant melanoma in 1961 may serve as
an example for the specific inner leanings of melanoma patients.
Dooley was a citizen of the U.S. of Irish origin. In 1954 (at the age of 27!) a physician in the US Navy
was sent to supervise the evacuation of refugees from communist N. Vietnam to free S. Vietnam,
and prevent epidemics from developing. He set up a tented camp for 15,000 refugees, with all
sanitary installations and the necessary administrative arrangements; later on there were
3 camps for a total of 30,000 refugees. He worked 14 or 15 hours a day, seeing patients and
operating. When on leave he went on lecture tours of North America, collecting money for
MEDICO,
This became one of the most significant humanitarian aid organizations in the 20th century. Dooley
wrote a detailed report on his work in Indochina. Details of his personal experiences taken from
this are given below.
His constant fear was that he might be suddenly posted elsewhere and that his successor,
however able, might not feel for the refugees and their troubles as he did. He and his colleagues
always suffered the torment of feeling inadequate, unable to smooth things over even
superficially. There was nowhere for them to go to escape from the unimaginable misery around
them. A free afternoon would bring a kind of guilt feeling, spoiling their pleasure in the brief
respite. Between the end of August 1954 and mid-May 1955 he lost a third of his body weight.
Daily routine went on uninterruptedly, in spite of several bouts of malaria, infection with four
different kinds of worms, and a very unpleasant skin eruption. The constant drain on his energies
and nerves did not worry him. The moral conflicts were much harder to bear. His conscience drove
him to do more and more to prevent himself from falling into doubt and despair. A kind of being-
at-school complex of never doing enough tormented him. They were always taken from one
extreme to another.
Now and then they would feel relaxed and well for a few hours, but then they would realize, with
sudden shock and pain, that they were living on the edge of hell. A colleague called Peter kept
telling him not to take things to heart so much. Dooley was often torn between going to see a
patient in the mountains whom no one else was able to treat, or leaving that man to himself and
performing his duties in the hospital.
Peter would tell him to stay where he belonged, and that he could not be everywhere at once. He
would reply that he could not let the man die; it was a moral responsibility.
In the late summer of 1959, Dooley fell off his bicycle and lacerated the right chest wall. Soon after
this, a malignant melanoma with regional lymph node involvement developed in that side.
It was surgically removed in September 1959. Dooley died 17 months later from the sequels of
metastazation.
In dermatological practice you will again and again see patients who are capable of great empathy.
This is particularly evident in the above example. The empathy must, however, be encompassed
by the I. It must be given order and form, a clearly defined place in the individual’s personality and
biography, so that it does not lead to giving oneself up completely. With melanoma patients there
is a danger of excessive empathy endangering the boundaries of the psyche. Foreign principles can
then break in.
The whole periphery of the human organism is predestined to be sense organ. The great variety of
sense organ is due to the fact that each particular sense organ serves perception of a particular
sensory quality. “The skin really makes the human being as a whole into a sense organ”. The skin
is, however, only made to perceive a particular sensory quality and far from all of them, e.g. not
light. It is the eye made for the light.
R.S. used the eye, the “most radical sensory organization”, as an example for describing the
development of a sense organ. “It is really created half from outside; it is integrated into the
organism.
The organism on its part ... leaves free the eye cavity. The eye is placed in this. This indicates that
the development of the eye mainly involves processes from outside the human being. The human
being merely receives it. With a sense organ as striking as the eye we can say that a foreign body is
integrated into the human organism”. R.S. made a blackboard sketch of this
He then considered the way the four bodies relate to each other in the eye. “Everything placed in
there, and in the case of the eye it actually is still partly etheric and not merely physical, is
encompassed by the astral body and the I-organization which in the eye are actually as far as
possible emancipated from the physical and the etheric.” In the central human being, e.g. in the
internal organs or in muscle, the four bodies are intimately brought together. “With the eye, the
situation is that I and astral body are closely bound together, and in the same way the other two
are intensively bound up with each other. A loose affinity exists between ether body and astral
body. This situation exists only in the eye”.
In another lecture, given to members of the medical profession, R.S. described how sense organs
can “only develop in the right way through the warmth and air organism in that the fluid organism
and the solid organism act against it, and we have a resultant of components. This means that it is
necessary for us to look at the relationship between physical organism, in so far as it comes to
repression in metabolism, for instance, and the sculpting organism, in so far as this comes to
expression in the neurosensory system. We must consider, as it were, how metabolism lets
something ray out, with matter taken in a radial direction, and how the matter is the sculpted in
the organs by the principle brought to it from the neurosensory system”. This can be shown in
schematic form.
It should be noted in this context that sunlight belongs at the top in as it moves etherically through
the air organism. The “resultant of components” we are here concerned with has been described
elsewhere by R.S. as “cross-over relationship” and “relationship in the growth of powers”. When
melanoma develops, the relationship of component powers is changed due to excessive sunlight
and other impressions from the human environment. In his lectures, R.S. would often speak of a
tumour being a sense organ developing in the wrong place. In the case of malignant melanoma
and the role which sunlight plays in its genesis, one immediately thinks of a relationship to the
eye. Using Steiner’s idea of the tumour as a dislocated sensory process we can thus say that
malignant melanoma
Pathologist Peter Ries of Hamelin, Germany, pointed out that there is a morphological similarity
between the pupil of the eye with its surrounding iris and the superficially spreading melanoma
with central regression. In both cases, pigmented cellular structures lie radially around a hole!
For greater understanding of the processes which in the case of malignant melanoma lead to a
sense organ developing in the wrong place, let us take a closer look at some aspects of the
organism’s way of dealing with light. R.S. spoke of human beings being able to produce “original
light” in their organism. “This inner light production goes to meet the influence of external light.
With regard
to the upper human being we are made in such a way that external light and inner light act against
each other in interplay, and the very essence of our organization rests on the fact that where
these two, external light and inner light, are meant to work together, we are able to prevent them
from merging, keeping them apart, so that they only act on one another but do not unite. As we
face external light, be it through the eye, be it through the skin, a screen is set up everywhere in
the human being between the inner, original oOrganization of eye.
I - in warmth organism
– radial form of matter light in us and the light that influences us from outside.”
We may therefore sum up and round off. The eye is the specific sense organ for light; here
external light is permitted to overcome the body’s boundary and, though outside world, continue
on
R.S. also referred to sense organs as “bays” ext. the organism from the outside world.
The human skin reacts to light by producing pigment; as we have seen, it takes in light only in the
qualitative sense and not in the physical sense, which the eye does. In the light metabolism of the
human organism, the generation of inner light is stimulated by external light. Inner light, being
light ether, is content of the ether body. The light ether lives in the air organism and it is through
this that the astral body incarnates.
A stream of light pours into the inner human being via the upper human being, when external light
(= light ether) has been taken in as quality by the sense organs and the skin. In the upper human
being, light creates thought: “Thought arises from light. Thought weaves in the light”. In the lower
human being the form principle active in the light ether lets boundaries develop, fully forming
out the whole human being down to the level of individual organs.
Considering the relationship between light and human existence in the physical body as well as in
soul and spirit, and the role which sunlight plays in melanoma development, the question arises if
people relate to light in a particular way today. An answer may be found from anthroposophy as a
whole in so far as it makes it clear to modern people that it is now necessary for human beings to
oppose the centripetal stream of incoming sensory impressions, of light, with inner activity and
the will to gain insight, which move centrifugally. R.S.: “We must grow aware of a much more
subtle relationship to the outside world, which means that with regard to our ether body,
something is happening which must come more and more to conscious awareness, similar to the
breathing process. In breathing, we inhale fresh oxygen and exhale useless carbon dioxide air.
A similar process exists in our sensory perceptions. - We ... must develop the subtle aspects in
dealing with the world so that as we take that world in we have not only sensory perception but
also something which is of the spirit. - World thoughts influence us from without, and the human
will acts from inside to outside. – We must come to feel how the will acts through the eyes, and
how the activity of the senses does indeed merge into our passivity, so that world thoughts cross
with human will.
—We must ... if we make light the general representative of sensory perception, rise to the
thought that light has soul”. Everything coming to us, to our senses, from the human environment
is light.
R.S. spoke of a “light-soul process” characteristic of the Michaelic age, with the soul passing
through cosmic space on the wings of light.
There seems to be an evident connection between the crossing of world thoughts and human will
which R.S. said was the mission of our present civilization, and the crossing phenomenon seen
with epidermal symbionts.
The connection may be considered to lie in the fact that a wisdom reveals itself in the phenomena
of those symbionts which lies dormant deep down in the unconscious human organism, waiting to
be brought to light of day in that process of civilization.
The words R.S. gave as spoken by Michael, the spirit of our age, about modern humanity point to
this:
“The power of the spirit sun shines on their souls; the Christ is at work; but they are not able to
heed this. Power of the spiritual soul is active in the body; it does not yet want to come to the soul
”.
This power of the spiritual soul unfolds in the light-soul process as human beings compel their will
towards perception, to deliver the world thought from the sense-perceptible world.
One example of the many such efforts being made in our present civilization is Goethean natural
science. If people fail, however, to connect the will with sensory perception, so that the power of
the spiritual soul is not elevated in the body, then that soul will cause morbidity. We are thus able
to see a light-soul process not brought to realization as a possible cause for development of
malignant tumours and especially melanomas.
Feeling plays an important role when world thoughts cross with the human will consciously
brought into play on the soul’s boundary. From the midst of feeling comes the individual
relationship between thoughts from without and will from within, a relationship which is different
for everyone. Developing a feeling for both spheres we develop the ability to find always the right
measure.
In the case of Thomas A. Dooley it is evident that a feeling for his own needs and the necessity for
protecting himself were not adequately met. The needs of others around him touched him too
deeply, on the other hand.
R.S. described the conditions for life in soul and spirit in the present Michaelic age in more detail,
saying that anything which has developed in the past, God’s work, must only influence the human
I from the environment. Freedom in human inner life must be developed in our time but is only
guaranteed if the impulse from the human environment, from nature, the work of divine spirits,
extends to the I and does not influence the ether body and the physical body. Sunlight is the
influence of something evolved in the past; a tendency for melanoma develops if we allow it to act
on our physical body and ether body and not at all or too little on the I.
The world thought in sunlight must only influence the conscious human will; this is a condition
with the light-soul process, a process which demands freedom in human inner life.
In the lecture where he described the crossing of the world thought with the human will in the
light-soul process, R.S. gave an example for will activity. This is the fading after-image when the
eye has perceived something.
This after-image is an objective fact in the world ether. It is interesting to note that patients
undergoing chemotherapy lose the ability to see complementary colours in the after-image. This
reveals the nature of chemotherapy.
The connections established between sunlight and melanoma development show that with
melanoma, the tumour process is in two phases. In the first phase, foreign principles from the
human environment irrupt into the organism; this is a dynamic process with no physical correlate.
In the second phase we get the catastrophe of form due to emancipation of the cellular principle;
the tumour process becomes physical. In the first phase the healthy relationship between the four
bodies in the skin is upset by sunburn, especially in childhood and youth. I and astral body live in
the light of the senses; this gains too much power in its centripetal activity.
It overcomes the body’s boundary, irrupts into the organism and creates a bay
R.S. went into more detail in a lecture given to members of the medical profession. “I-organization
and astral organization getting too powerful in the neurosensory organism someone drive this
whole organization into the organization of metabolism and limbs”. This leads to the beginnings of
a sense organ in the wrong place and to carcinoma. Applied to melanoma this means that the
higher bodies are too strongly active in the light, damaging the melanocytes which are an element
in metabolism (“unicellular gland”) in a functional sense that goes beyond the physical. This
describes the process immediately as sunburn develops; a later sequel is loosening of the
connecting between higher and lower bodies, as described for the physiological condition in the
eye. This pathologically loosened the connection between the four bodies is the cause of the
increased melanoma risk. It persists for decades with no symptoms. It needs biographical crises,
professional overwork and strokes of destiny that are too much for the delicate soul and
constitution to bring on phase 2, with the tumour process becoming manifest. The loosening of
the bond between higher and lower bodies then causes the connection between the body’s own
form principle and the matter principle to be broken in the melanocyte. The cellular principle, in
which the physical body is active, loses its power to maintain form, a power subject to the
impulses of the higher bodies.
A dynamic fact, fills up with melanoma cells and can now be measured as a vertical tumour
diameter (Breslow index). (The etheric bay will, however, always be greater in dimension that the
tumour itself, comparable to a crystal and the lustre around it.)
Interestingly, Dr Dooley had a laceration preceding the melanoma. In dermatological practice, one
hears patients say again and again that the melanoma was preceded by a mechanical trauma. R.S.
also gave “mechanical insult”, “prolonged exposure to high temperatures or a burn” as examples
of triggers for a “tendency to develop a sense organ” in the wrong place and thus tumour
development. He spoke of a breast being struck as the origin of breast cancer. This means a
centripetal action from outside towards the inner organism, “which makes the astral body appear
most powerfully in the site, whereas it is normally absorbed by the ether body. When the astral
body suddenly shows itself in the site, it appears ... in a glow of light, as if burning. When it shows
itself
like this we have a tendency to develop a sensory effect in the site, a carcinoma develops”.
Hyperergic phenomena such as rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis, urticaria, polymorphic light
dermatitis, eosinophilia, penicillin and iodine allergy are common in the history leading up to
melanoma. When a member of the audience in R.S.’s discussions with workmen asked him about
hayfever, being a sufferer, the answer was: “No one whose whole body has a disposition from the
beginning to develop hardening of the arteries is likely to get hayfever, for hayfever is the very
opposite of hardening of the arteries. ... Your hayfever is a kind of valve to prevent sclerosis”.
Sclerosis and tumour are cold conditions; hyperergia is a warm, inflammatory process with
emphasis on blood impulses and may therefore be considered an attempt at self healing if there is
a tumour disposition.
This is what R.S. meant by “valve”. The author is aware that many aspects of malignant melanoma
(personality, developing a sense organ in the wrong place) also apply to any other tumour process.
Unlike practically all other tumours, melanoma has the special feature that the phenomena are
superficial in the truest sense of the word and therefore apparent.
Melanoma truly is “no marginal phenomenon in oncology, nor a special case, however interesting
medically, but in many respects absolutely exemplary for cancer growth in general”(50), in the
terms of both natural science and the anthroposophical philosophy of man. With any tumour you
have patients who have none of the relevant risk factors. Melanoma patients who have avoided
the sun all their life, being fair-skinned, may also have no stress in their occupational or private
lives.
Patients like these may make physicians think that one does not get the number of melanoma
patients among the part of the Central European population who are exposed to intensive UV
radiation on the shores of the Mediterranean or even in Far Eastern countries which one would
expect.

proportion of melanoma cases (with regard e. g. to absence of UV exposure) are found in parts of
the population who handle themselves and their environment with great awareness; placed
outside the risk group in compensation, as it were. R.S. spoke of “certain disease potentials
covering whole broad territories”;
considering it possible that a disease may manifest if not in one place then in another within a
large population if the times demand it. The question is, therefore, if there are perhaps melanoma
patients who, being sensitive and having fine minds, take on the tumour tendency of an age on
behalf of others, as it were. Considering that R.S. asked us to grasp carcinoma as a sense organ in
the wrong place, Christa-Johanna Bub-Jachens posed the question in this journal two years ago:
What does a carcinoma as a sense organ sense? Her answer: “Might it not be the case that the
carcinoma perceives the materialistic outside world, the materialistic emergency state of today?
As the eye is created by the light for the light, so carcinoma as catastrophe of form may be created
by materialism as a spiritual catastrophe. In that case, carcinoma would be a kind of image of
humanity’s spiritual need, its function being to perceive this need”. Surely this applies particularly
in the case of malignant melanoma.Prevention and treatment
If there is a melanoma disposition, one preventive measure is to avoid too much sunlight. A
watchful eye must also be kept on all other influences and demands coming from outside in
everyday life and the biography, lest the right measure be exceeded. Sunscreen preparations are
generally assumed to prevent epithelial skin tumours; but a number of epidemiological studies in
recent years have cast some doubt on this.
According to them, the fact that the epidermis can no longer produce natural photoprotection
when sunscreen has been applied is a negative aspect. Patients should therefore be advised to use
textiles to keep off the sun and common sense in gaining a tan, observing the right measure and
necessary time.
Endogenous protection can consist in efforts to do justice to the light, the sensory impressions and
all demands that life brings. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that heaven is the eyes’ daily bread.
We may add the words of Angelus Silesius: “Bread alone does not feed us; what feeds us in the
bread is God’s eternal word, is life and is spirit.” This spirit which confers life is the “world
thinking”, the world thought which needs effort of human will to deliver it from sensory
impressions. This “will of humanity”(45), which must work on the sensory impressions, makes
human beings more resistant to the irruption of foreign principles. If a patient asks how he can
protect himself from the sun on a journey to Greece, we can say, therefore, that he should take
along a good book on Greek temples and his diary. Melanoma prevention in this sense consists in
perceiving the architectural idea of the Greek temple in the dazzling sun and working through
what one has seen by putting it in one’s diary at night.
The first measure when macroscopic and incident light microscopic diagnosis suggest the
possibility of primary malignant melanoma is surgery. Major studies done in the early 1990s have
shown that a large safety margin with surgical removal and general anaesthesia offer no
advantages. Today’s recommended safety margins are so small that it is often possible to have
daysurgery and local anaesthesia. Aggressive oncological treatments for metastasizing malignant
melanoma continue to be unsatisfactory as they do not extend life at all, yet seriously reduce
quality of life. Only interferon has given some results, often with severe side effects.
In the natural world we find the process corresponding to malignant melanoma development in
mistletoe (Viscum alba).
Mistletoe grows like a parasite on trees, separating itself from the forces of the earth and moving
closer to the imponderable light and warmth which stream to the earth from the cosmos.
This gives mistletoe a phosphor-like action with a tendency to flower and fruit development and
this addresses itself directly to the “bay”. The plant is therefore in a position to compensate the
inadequate activity of the higher bodies in the warmth, light and air organism directed towards
the fluid and solid organism. The many unusual characteristics of mistletoe, which emancipates
itself from the normal laws of plant life, also make it medicinal.
The rhythm of its life through the seasons is the inverse of that of other plants. It flowers and fruits
in winter when (at least on broad-leaved trees) it is exposed to the winter sun once the leaves
have dropped in autumn.
On the other hand the foliage protects mistletoe from the summer sun. Pine has an inner
connection with light and warmth qualities.
Mistletoe grown on it (Viscum pini) is suitable for treating melanoma. The best results in mistletoe
therapy for melanoma have been seen with pine-grown mistletoe.
If there is a disposition (numerous naevi, dysplastic naevi, family history), it is advisable to give a
prophylactic course of Iscador P in spring and autumn. Prescribe Series 0, one ampoule s.c. under
the abdominal skin every second day in the morning, with 14 days interval after the first series. If
surgery is required or a primary melanoma has been removed, inject one ampoule of Iscador P
every second day (or 3x weekly), following
Series 0 with Series 1 and continuing the latter without interruption. If metastases develop,
mistletoe treatment can be intensified by giving it i.v. -Iscador P, 1 mg- 20 mg, increasing with
caution, in 250 ml of saline once a week over a period of c. 2 hours. Intolerance reactions are
uncommon with this slow i.v. infusion.
Mistletoe treatment helps with the evolution of neoplastic disease and also benefits the patient’s
general condition. Its comprehensive action, also on the psyche, is illustrated by the words of a
patient who seven years after surgical removal of three primary melanomas developed a
metastatic breast tumour. Asked what mistletoe treatment meant to her she said: “Mistletoe
makes me feel positive about life; it stops me from drowning in misery. It maintains my humanity,
so that I came well through chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I was able to live a normal life at
work and in caring for my family, and overcome the whole crisis of tumour disease using mistletoe
preparations from different manufacturers (Iscador, Helixor, Abnoba Viscum, Iscucin)!”
Los muchos buenos resultados observados en hospitales y prácticas antroposóficas han sido
confirmados recientemente en un estudio realizado como un estudio multicéntrico, comparativo,

Krebs + Turmeric_Gelbwurz
Kurkuma, eines der wichtigsten Mittel in der ayurvedischen Medizin, ist das stärkste natürliche
entzündungshemmende Mittel, das man heute kennt.
In seinem sehr gut recherchiertem und sehr empfehlenswerten "Anti Krebs Buch" beschreibt
David Servan Schreiber, dass Kurkuma auch zum programmierten Zelltod
von Krebszellen (Apoptose) beiträgt und dass es das Zellwachstum hemmt. In Laborversuchen
erhöhte es die Wirksamkeit der Chemotherapie.
Inder, die durch den hohen Curryverzehr im Durchschnitt 1,5-2g Kurkuma pro Tag (1/4 –
½ Teelöffel) konsumieren, haben 8x weniger Lungenkrebs, 9x weniger Dickdarmkrebs, 5x weniger
Brustkrebs und 10x weniger Nierenkrebs als gleichaltrige Menschen im Westen. Und das, obwohl
sie zahlreichen krebseregenden Stoffen
in der Umwelt ausgesetzt sind, oft in einem viel schlimmeren Ausmaß als die Menschen im
Westen.
Da Kurkuma in medizinischen Texten aus Indien, China, Tibet und dem mittleren Osten seit über
2000 Jahren erwähnt wird, hat einer der am meisten zitierten Krebsforscher, Prof. Dr. Aggarwal
vom M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, die Wirkungen von Kurkuma intensiv erforscht. In
2005 führte er den Nachweis, dass es bei Mäusen, denen man Brustkrebszellen übertragen hatte,
auf Tumoren wirkte, die auf eine Chemotherapie mit Taxol nicht mehr reagierten. Bei diesen
Mäusen verringerte die Gabe verzehrsüblicher Dosen von Kurkuma auf eindrucksvolle Weise die
Ausbreitung von Metastasen. Daraufhin wurden drei klinische Versuche mit Kurkuma gestartet.
Die drei Studien laufen gegenwärtig und die Ergebnisse sind noch nicht bekannt.
Hauptsächlich ist es das Molekül Curcumin, das diese Wirkungen auslöst. Wenn es jedoch nicht,
wie dies bei der Curry-Gewürzmischung schon immer der Fall war, mit schwarzem Pfeffer
vermischt wird, kann der Verdauungsapparat es nur sehr schlecht aufnehmen. Schwarzer Pfeffer
erhöht die Kurkuma-Absorption um das 2000-Fache.
Die außerordentliche Wirksamkeit von Kurkuma rührt zu einem großen Teil daher, dass es in der
Lage ist, mit dem schwarzen Ritter des Krebses, dem NF-Kappa B, zu interagieren. Dieses schützt
normalerweise die Krebszellen vor den Selbstverteidigungsmechanismen des Körpers.
Die pharmazeutische Industrie sucht nach neuen nicht toxischen Molekülen, die in der Lage sind,
diesen gefährlichen Verbündeten der Krebszellen zu bekämpfen.
Schon die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass Kurkuma ein Machtvoller
Gegenspieler von NF-Kappa B ist, und im Verlauf der 2000 Jahre, die es
in der indischen Küche zum Einsatz kommt, hat es seine absolute Unschädlichkeit bewiesen.
Man kann es sehr gut an gekochte Gemüse, Suppen oder Salatsoßen geben.
Rezept:
Achtung: damit Kurkuma vom Körper aufgenommen werden kann, muss es mit schwarzem Pfeffer
(nicht einfach irgendeinem Pfeffer) vermischt werden. Idealerweise sollte es in Öl gelöst werden
(bevorzugt Olivenöl oder Leinöl).
Empfohlene Einnahme: ein halber Teelöffel Kurkumapulver mit einer guten Prise (5%) schwarzem
Pfeffer und einem Teelöfel Oliven- oder Leinöl vermischt im Mund einspeicheln und schlucken.
Wer das braucht, kann für den Geschmack noch etwas Honig oder Agavendicksaft zufügen.

Curcumin and Cancer Cells: How Many Ways Can Curry Kill Tumor Cells Selectively?
Cancer is a hyperproliferative disorder that is usually treated by chemotherapeutic agents that are
toxic not only to tumor cells but also to normal cells, so these agents produce major side effects. In
addition, these agents are highly expensive and thus not affordable for most. Moreover, such
agents cannot be used for cancer prevention. Traditional medicines are generally free of the
deleterious side effects and usually inexpensive. Curcumin, a component of turmeric (Curcuma
longa), is one such agent that is safe, affordable, and efficacious. How curcumin kills tumor cells is
the focus of this review. We show that curcumin modulates growth of tumor cells through
regulation of multiple cell signaling pathways including cell proliferation pathway (cyclin D1, c-
myc), cell survival pathway (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, cFLIP, XIAP, c-IAP1), caspase activation pathway (caspase-
8, 3, 9), tumor suppressor pathway (p53, p21) death receptor pathway (DR4, DR5), mitochondrial
pathways, and protein kinase pathway (JNK, Akt, and AMPK). How curcumin selectively kills tumor
cells, and not normal cells, is also described in detail.
a. carcinoma: arise from the epithelial sheet that covers the surfaces, e.g., skin, colon, etc.
Approximately 90% of all human cancers are carcinomas;
b. sarcoma: these include cancer of the connective tissues such as muscle, bone, cartilage, and
fibrous tissue. Approximately 2% of all cancers are sarcomas;
c. leukaemia
d. lymphoma: they originate from blood forming cells and from cells of the immune system,
respectively. Approx. 8% of all cancers are leukemia and lymphomas.
a. benign tumors or adenomas: when neoplastic growth remains clustered as a single mass,
b. malignant tumor or adenocarcinoma: when tumor invades normal tissue and spreads
throughout the body.
It is estimated that human body consists of 10–13 trillion cells. Almost all of these cells get turned
over within approximately 100 days, thus suggesting an apoptosis/cell death rate of 100–130
billion cells each day. What is the mechanism of this mode of cell death in normal cells is unclear.
Cancer cells distinct from normal cells in 6 different ways and these characteristics are shared by
all cancers.
evasion of apoptosis,
sustained angiogenesis,
tissue invasion,
metastasis.
The ability of tumor cell populations to expand in number is determined not only by the rate of
cell proliferation but also by the rate of cell death. Apoptosis is a major source of cell death, thus
agents that trigger apoptosis/cell death, could be the most promising candidates as therapeutic
for cancer.
Why certain types of cancers are more prevalent in some countries than others is not clear but
lifestyle (diet) is known to play major role.
Among the potential dietary contributors to this disparity is turmeric (Curcuma longa), a spice that
is consumed frequently by people from southeast Asia, a continent
Powder of turmeric is extensively used in Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha medicine as a home
remedy for various diseases. This powder, curcumin (diferuloylmethane)
a yellow-colored polyphenol, first isolated in 1815, crystallized in 1870, and identified as 1,6-
heptadiene-3,5- dione-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-(1E,6E). Curcumin analoges which
made by mother nature and man have been described. In addition, besides diferuloylmethane or
curcumin, turmeric contains minor fractions such as demethoxycurcumin (curcumin II),
bisdemethoxycurcumin (curcumin III), and the recently identified cyclocurcumin. All these
analoges suggest that while hydroxyl groups in curcumin are required for its antioxidant activity,
its methoxy groups are essential for its antiinflammatory and antiproliferative activity. Various
molecular targets modulated by this agent include transcription factors, growth factors and their
receptors, cytokines, enzymes, and genes regulating cell proliferation and apoptosis.
The anticarcinogenic properties of curcumin in animals have been demonstrated by its inhibition
of tumor initiation and tumor promotion. Studies of curcumin have shown that it influences
structurally unrelated membrane proteins across several signaling pathways. A recent report
suggests that curcumin inserts deep into the cellular membrane in a transbilayer orientation,
anchored by hydrogen bonding to the phosphate group of lipids, thus inducing negative curvature
in the bilayer. The promotion of negative curvature by curcumin may have a direct effect on
apoptosis by increasing the permeabilizing activity of the apoptotic protein tBid. Curcumin has
been shown to suppress multiple signaling pathways and inhibit cell proliferation, invasion,
metastasis, and angiogenesis. The chemopreventive action of curcumin might be due to its ability
to induce apoptosis by several pathways. Curcumin directly or indirectly controls different gene or
gene products involved in cell death pathways as discussed here
There are two major pathways of cell death, apoptosis (death by suicide) and necrosis (death by
injury). Apoptosis is also known as programmed cell death and involves a series of biochemical
events leading to characteristic cell morphology and death. Necrosis is caused by external factors,
such as infection, toxins, or trauma. Additional cell death mechanisms, such as autophagy, entosis,
paraptosis, and anoikis, have been defined more recently. A brief review of these modes of cell
death will serve as background for our discussion of the modes and mediators of curcumin-
induced cell death.
Apoptosis
Apoptosis is a normal physiological process that is required for the maintenance of cell
homeostasis. The cellular changes involved in this process are both morphological and
biochemical, including disintegration of the cytoskeleton and subsequent cell shrinkage, chromatin
condensation, and activation of specific proteases, called caspases. Apoptosis can be initiated by a
variety of internal and external stimuli, including receptor ligation and toxic insults. Apoptosis not
only plays a crucial role in tissue development and homeostasis, but is also involved in a wide
range of pathological conditions. Apoptotic cell death is accompanied by a series of complex
biochemical events and definite morphologic changes, which include cell shrinkage, chromatin
condensation, DNA fragmentation, membrane budding, and the appearance of membrane-
associated apoptotic bodies. Failure to accurately undergo apoptosis can cause severe anomalies,
ranging from autoimmune disease to cancer.
Necrosis
Necrosis typically occurs as a result of mechanical or toxic cell injury. Necrotic cells are
distinguished from apoptotic cells in that they undergo stages such as cell swelling, plasma
membrane rupture, organelle breakdown, and ultimately lysis, allowing release of the cytoplasmic
contents and hence induction of an inflammatory response.
Autophagy
Entosis
Entosis is a nonapoptotic cell death process that occurs in human tumors and that is provoked by
loss of attachment to matrix. This cell death mechanism is initiated by an unusual process involving
the invasion of one live cell into another, followed by the degradation of internalized cells by
lysosomal enzymes. This cell death process and apoptosis can both result in the internalization of
one cell inside of another; the mechanisms responsible for cell internalization are highly
distinguishable. Unlike the phagocytic ingestion of apoptotic cells, cell internalization in
suspension is not associated with caspase activation nor driven by phosphatidylserine exposure.
Paraptosis
Paraptosis, an alternative, nonapoptotic cell death program that may be induced by the insulin-like
growth factor I receptor (among other inducers), is mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinases
(MAPKs). Caspases are not activated in this process, nor are caspase inhibitors effective in blocking
cell death (23). It is reported that TAJ/TROY, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor
superfamily that induces nonapoptotic cell death by paraptosis, is accompanied by
phosphatidylserine externalization and loss of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential and is
independent of caspase activation.
Anoikis
One form of detachment-induced death is an apoptotic program termed anoikis that has been
characterized in suspension cell cultures (25,26). Cell death induced by detachment from
extracellular matrix functions as a luminal clearing mechanism during development and also may
function as a barrier to the development of carcinomas, which display luminal filling as a hallmark.
Curcumin has a diverse range of molecular targets, supporting the concept that it acts upon
numerous biochemical and molecular cascades. Curcumin physically binds to
The mechanistic relationship among different signal transduction pathways, whether acting alone
or together, leading to apoptosis is described. Because curcumin mediates
Modulation of various cell death pathways by curcumin. Targets up-regulated by curcumin are in a
blue box, those down-regulated are in a yellow box, and those unaffected are in a white box. AP-1
activator protein-1, AMPK 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated ...
Caspase Activation
Caspases, or cysteine-aspartic acid proteases, are a family of cysteine proteases that play essential
roles in apoptosis, necrosis, and inflammation. There are numerous reports that suggests the
involvement of caspases in curcumin-induced apoptosis. Curcumin causes DNA damage and
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and mitochondrial-dependent-induced apoptosis through the
activation of caspase-3. Combined curcumin and TRAIL treatment enhanced accumulation of hypo-
diploid U87MG cells in sub G1 cell cycle phase and induced the cleavage of procaspases-3, -8, -9,
and release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Earlier reports suggest that curcumin activates
caspases-3 and -8 but not caspase-9, supporting the rationale that apoptosis occurs via a
membrane-mediated mechanism. Both a caspase-8 and broad-based caspase inhibitor, but not a
caspase-9 specific inhibitor, suppressed curcumin-induced cell death. Curcumin induces apoptosis
through mitochondrial pathway involving caspase-8, BID cleavage, cytochrome c release, and
caspase-3 activation in HL-60 cells.
Death receptors are cell surface receptors that transmit apoptotic signals initiated by specific
ligands such as Fas ligand, TNF-α, and TRAIL. These receptors play a crucial role in apoptosis and
can activate a caspase cascade within seconds of ligand binding. Induction of apoptosis via this
mechanism is therefore very rapid.
Studies showed that curcumin inhibited the expression of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, survivin, and XIAP, and
induced the expressions Bax, Bak, PUMA, Bim, and Noxa and death receptors (TRAIL-R1/DR4 and
TRAIL-R2/DR5). Curcumin is a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis through upregulation
of DR5 expression. Both treatment with DR5/Fc chimeric protein and silencing of DR5 expression
using small interfering RNA (siRNA) attenuated curcumin plus TRAIL-induced apoptosis, showing
that DR5 plays a critical role in this mode of cell death. Curcumin also induced the expression of a
potential proapoptotic gene, C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), both at its mRNA and protein
levels. It has also been reported that curcumin significantly induces death receptor 5 (DR5)
expression both at the mRNA and protein levels, accompanying the generation of the reactive
oxygen species (ROS).
Fas receptor is the ligand for Fas-activated apoptosis. Binding of the ligand promotes receptor
clustering, DISC formation and the activation of the caspase cascade. In addition, the Fas receptor
is generally thought only to activate apoptosis and does not play an important role in other
aspects of cell signaling like the TNF receptor. Curcumin induces Fas receptor aggregation in a
FasL-independent manner, and low-temperature incubation, previously shown to inhibit receptor
aggregation, prevented curcumin-induced cell death. Apoptosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell
line NCE induced by curcumin was found to up-regulate the Fas receptor gene as well as the
protein in a dose-dependent manner. Curcumin is able to inhibit the proliferation of CA46 cells
and induce apoptosis by down-regulating the expression of c-myc, Bcl-2, and mutant-type p53,
and up-regulating the expression of Fas. Curcumin induced the modulation of cell cycle and
apoptosis in gastric and colon cancer cells and stimulated the activity of caspase-8, which initiates
Fas signaling pathway of apoptosis.
The transcription factor p53 has been reported to play a very important role in apoptosis. As a
tumor suppressor, p53 is responsible for protecting cells from tumorigenic alterations. Mutational
inactivation of p53 is frequently observed in various human cancers. Studies on cell death on
p21(+/+) and p21(−/−) HCT-116 cells treated with curcumin showed an associated reduction in
pro-caspase-3 and PARP-1 cleavage, which are indicative of apoptosis, and concluded that
curcumin-induced apoptosis in HCT-116 colon cancer cells does not depend on p21 status. The
inhibition of p21 WAF1/CIP1 by siRNA blocks curcumin-induced apoptosis, thus establishing a link
between cell cycle and apoptosis. Results of Liu et al. demonstrated that ING4 expression was
almost undetectable in U251 cells, but significantly up-regulated during cell cycle arrest induced by
curcumin, and p53 expression was up-regulated followed by induction of p21 WAF1/CIP1 and
ING4. Experiments using p53-null as well as dominant-negative and wild-type p53-transfected cells
have established that curcumin induces apoptosis in carcinoma cells via a p53-dependent
pathway. The studies showed that curcumin selectively increases p53 expression at G2 phase of
carcinoma cells and releases cytochrome c from mitochondria, which is an essential requirement
for apoptosis.
The cell cycle is set of events, resulting in cell growth and division into two daughter cells. The
stages are G1-S-G2-M. The G1 stage is "GAP 1". The S stage is "Synthesis", this is the stage when
DNA replication occurs. The G2 stage is "GAP 2". The M stage is "mitosis", and is when nuclear and
cytoplasmic division occurs. Curcumin was found to induce G0/G1 and/or G2/M phase cell cycle
arrest, up-regulate CDKIs, p21WAF1/CIP1, p27KIP1, and p53, and slightly down-regulate cyclin B1
and cdc2 in ECV304 cells. The cyclin D1 proto-oncogene is an important regulator of G1 to S phase
transition in numerous cell types from diverse tissues. A study has demonstrated that curcumin
induces apoptosis in the G2 phase of the cell cycle in deregulated cyclin D1-expressing mammary
epithelial carcinoma cells, leaving its normal cells unaffected. Curcumin induced the expression of
cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p16(/INK4a), p21 WAF1/CIP1, and p27(/KIP1), and
inhibited the expression of cyclin E and cyclin D1, and hyperphosphorylation of retinoblastoma
(Rb) protein. Curcumin induces the degradation of cyclin E expression through the ubiquitin-
dependent pathway and up-regulates cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27 in multiple
human tumor cell lines. In human mantle cell lymphoma, curcumin causes cell cycle arrest at the
G1/S phase of the cell cycle and induces apoptosis. Curcumin enhances the expression of tumor
cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p21 and p27 as well as tumor suppressor protein p53 but
suppressed the expression of retinoblastoma protein and also induced the accumulation of cells in
G1 phase of the cell cycle in multiple human tumor cell lines. A recent report shows the activation
of ATM/Chk1 by curcumin leads to G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells.
Akt (protein kinase B), a serine/threonine kinase, is a critical enzyme in signal transduction
pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis and angiogenesis. Studies showed that curcumin
concentration- and time-dependently inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt, mTOR, and their
downstream substrates in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells, and this inhibitory effect acts
downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and phosphatidylinositol-dependent kinase 1.
Curcumin causes dose-dependent apoptosis and DNA fragmentation of Caki cells, which is
preceded by the sequential dephosphorylation of Akt, down-regulation of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2,
Bcl-xL, and IAP proteins, release of cytochrome c and activation of caspase 3. Curcumin-induced
effects have been shown to be associated with the suppression of NF-κB and IKK activities but
independent of the B-Raf/MEK/ERK and Akt pathways in melanoma cell lines.
Inhibition of mTOR
mTOR is a large (>250 kDa) class IV PI-3 kinase family member with protein kinase activity. mTOR
forms a complex with the 12-kDa cytosolic protein, FKBP-12, and rapamycin and functions to
arrest the cell cycle in the G1 phase. mTOR regulates Akt activity, a crucial downstream effector in
the PI-3K–PTEN pathway, which controls cell proliferation and survival. Targeting this function of
mTOR may also have therapeutic potential. For example, curcumin was shown to inhibit the
Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin/p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase pathway and activate the
extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK) 1/2, thereby inducing autophagy.
Various studies evaluated the role of curcumin in cell growth and activation of signal transduction
pathways in both androgen-dependent and -independent prostate cancer cell lines. The results
showed that curcumin down-regulated transactivation and expression of AR, AP-1, NF-κB, and
CBP. These studies showed that curcumin has enormous potential as an anticancer agent against
prostate cancer. Curcumin enhanced the apoptosis-inducing potential of TRAIL in androgen-
unresponsive PC-3 cells and sensitized androgen-responsive TRAIL-resistant LNCaP cells.
Growth factors play a critical role in the proliferation of tumor cells. EGF, HER2, FGF, VEGF, PDGF,
insulin growth factor (IGF)-1, and others have been associated with cell proliferation. The
suppression of these growth factors or their receptors results in suppression of tumor growth. For
example, the inhibition of EGFR expression and decreased ERK1/2 activity decreased survival and
enhanced induction of apoptosis in lung and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. Curcumin inhibited
EGF-stimulated phosphorylation of EGFR in MDA-MB-468 cells and phosphorylation of ERK 1 and -
2, as well as ERK activity and levels of nuclear c-fos in MDA-MB-468 and HBL100 cells. Recently it
was reported that curcumin inhibits 253JB-V and KU7 bladder cancer cell growth, which could be
attributed to induction of apoptosis and decreased expression of the proapoptotic protein survivin
and VEGF and VEGFR1.
A recent study has shown that a chemopreventive effect of curcumin could be due to the
hyperproduction of ROS, which would in turn induce apoptosis in tumor cells. The study found
that enzyme activity and protein expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) were reduced
during curcumin treatment. Overexpression of ODC in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60
parental cells could reduce curcumin-induced apoptosis, which would lead to loss of mitochondrial
membrane potential, through reducing intracellular ROS. Moreover, ODC over expression
prevented cytochrome c release and the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3 following curcumin
treatment. An earlier study showed the effects of curcumin on renal carcinoma. In the study, Fe-
NTA, a known complete renal carcinogen, which generates ROS in vivo, was given intraperitoneally
to mice, and curcumin was tested for its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and the ODC activity and
histopathological changes in the kidney. ODC activity in the kidney was significantly increased but
remained at normal levels in curcumin-pretreated mice.
Curcumin's apoptosis-inducing effects in colon cancer cell lines are accompanied by ceramide
generation. This increase occurs through de novo synthesis, as much as the increase in ceramide
could be attenuated by pre-incubation of the cells with myriocin, and no changes were observed in
sphingomyelin levels or in either acidic or neutral sphingomyelinase activities. However, the
inhibition of ROS using N-acetylcysteine led to an inhibition of JNK activation. Hence, the study
concluded that curcumin induces apoptosis via a ROS-associated mechanism that converges on
JNK activation, and to a lesser extent via a parallel ceramide-associated pathway. Curcumin
reduced the hydrolytic capacity of the cells against choline-labeled sphingomyelin, associated with
a mild increase in cellular sphingomyelin in the cells. Curcumin also inhibited acid
sphingomyelinase an effect that may account for its antiproliferative effects against colon cancer
cells.
Inhibition of Phospholipase D
The enzymatic activity of phospholipase D (PLD) is known to be essential for cell survival and
protection from apoptosis. During apoptosis, a small fraction of PLD1 is cleaved by caspases in a
p53-independent manner and NF-PLD1 amplifies apoptotic signaling through inhibition of the
remaining PLD1 activity (217). In a cell-free system, curcumin inhibited several types of
phospholipases, most effectively PLD. It also inhibited 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-
induced PLD activation in intact J774.1 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
The thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) isoenzymes, TrxR1 in cytosol or nucleus and TrxR2 in
mitochondria, are essential mammalian selenocysteine (Sec)-containing flavoenzymes with a -Gly-
Cys-Sec-Gly active site. TrxRs are the only enzymes catalyzing the NADPH-dependent reduction of
the active site disulfide in thioredoxins (Trxs), which play essential roles in substrate reductions,
defense against oxidative stress, and redox regulation by thiol redox control. Trx can scavenge
reactive oxygen species (ROS) and directly inhibits proapoptotic proteins such as apoptosis signal-
regulating kinase 1 (ASK1). There are a number of inhibitors with chemotherapy applications that
target either Trx or TrxR to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. A study has shown that rat TrxR1
activity in Trx-dependent disulfide reduction was inhibited by curcumin. Different curcumin
analogs were also investigated for their inhibitory effects on thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). Most of
them were more potent TrxR inhibitors than natural curcumin.
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) play important roles in numerous cellular
events, including differentiation, inflammation, and the immune response. Furthermore,
constitutive STAT activation can be observed in a high number of tumors. Curcumin is
incorporated into H-RS cells and inhibits both NF-κB and STAT3 activation, leading to decreased
expression of proteins involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis, e.g., Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, cFLIP, XIAP, c-
IAP1, survivin, c-myc, and cyclin D1. Curcumin treatment induced a decrease of nuclear STAT3, -5a,
and -5b, without affecting either STAT1 or the phosphorylation state of STAT1, -3 or -5 in the K562
cell line. Most interestingly, the decrease of nuclear STAT5a and -5b after curcumin treatment was
accompanied by an increase of truncated STAT5 isoforms, indicating that curcumin is able to
induce the cleavage of STAT5 into its dominant-negative variants lacking the STAT5 C-terminal
region. The constitutive phosphorylation of STAT3 found in certain multiple myeloma cells was
abrogated by treatment with curcumin, and inhibition of STAT3 by curcumin leads to the induction
of apoptosis.
Activation of c-Jun Kinase
In vitro experiments indicated that inhibition of c-Jun/AP-1 binding to its cognate motif by
curcumin may be responsible for the inhibition of c-Jun/AP-1-mediated gene expression.
Curcumin, a natural inhibitor of JNK signaling, protected the HT22 cells from glutamate-induced
death at nanomolar concentrations. Curcumin time- and
Drug- or radiation-induced injury to DNA may produce deviations in DNA’s normal double helical
conformation. These changes include structural distortions that interfere with replication and
transcription, as well as point mutations that disrupt base pairing and exert damaging effects on
future generations through changes in DNA sequence. If the damage is minor, it can often be
repaired (DNA repair). If the damage is extensive, it can induce apoptosis. Curcumin induces such
DNA damage to both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in human hepatoma G2 cells. The
study demonstrated dose-dependent damage in both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes and
the greater extent of the mitochondrial damage. The mechanism underlies the elevation in ROS
and lipid peroxidation generated by curcumin. Studies with mouse–rat hybrid retina ganglion cell
line N18 cells showed a dose- and time-dependent increase in DNA damage with curcumin
treatment, which was confirmed by comet assay as well as agarose gel electrophoresis.
Curcumin induced a marked depletion of [Ca(2+)](i) in Caki cells bathed with both Ca(2+)-
containing and -free solutions. This indicates that curcumin acts as a stimulator of intracellular
Ca(2+) uptake into mitochondria via uniporter pathway and may involve the execution of
apoptosis. Reports suggest that curcumin may induce the expression of the HSP70 gene through
the initial depletion of intracellular Ca(+2), followed by the suppression of p53 gene function in the
target cells.
Mitochondrial Activation
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in the process of apoptosis. The intrinsic pathway of apoptosis
involves the activation of proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family that exert their function
through mitochondria. Role of mitochondria is well established in a curcumin-induced apoptosis.
Curcumin induces the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, causing activation of caspase 3
and concomitant PARP cleavage, which is the hallmark of caspase-dependent apoptosis (28).
Curcumin-induced rapid ROS generation causes the release of AIF from the mitochondria to the
cytosol and nucleus, hence leading to caspase 3-independent apoptosis (69). HepG2 cells exposed
to curcumin for 1 h showed a transient elevation of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP),
followed by cytochrome c release into the cytosol and disruption of MMP after 6 h exposure to
curcumin. These results suggest that mitochondrial hyperpolarization is a prerequisite for
curcumin-induced apoptosis and that mtDNA damage is the initial event triggering a chain of
events leading to apoptosis in HepG2 cells . A study on curcumin protection of PC12 cells against
MPP (+)-induced apoptosis suggested that the cytoprotective effects of curcumin might be
mediated by the Bcl-2-mitochondria-ROS-iNOS pathway. Curcumin induced an increase in rat liver
mitochondrial membrane permeability, resulting in swelling, loss of membrane potential and
inhibition of ATP synthesis. These effects were mediated by the opening of the permeability
transition pore. Curcumin targets proliferative cells more efficiently than differentiated cells and
induces apoptosis via mitochondrial pathways. Addition of curcumin to neuro 2a cells induces a
rapid decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c into cytosol,
followed by activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3.
Glyoxalases (Glo1 and Glo2) are involved in the glycolytic pathway by detoxifying the reactive
methylglyoxal (MGO) into d-lactate in a two-step reaction using glutathione (GSH) as cofactor.
Inhibitors of glyoxalases are considered antiinflammatory and anti-tumor agents. Curcumin
inhibits Glo1, resulting in non-tolerable levels of MGO and GSH. As a result, various metabolic
pathways are disturbed, so that for example, cellular ATP and GSH content are depleted. The
depletion of cellular ATP and GSH may in turn decrease cell survival.
The inhibitors of apoptosis (IAP) proteins are a recently discovered class of caspase inhibitors that
selectively bind and inhibit caspase-3, -7, and -9; these inhibitors have great potential in the
treatment of malignancy. Curcumin is reported to inhibit the expression of these caspases
inhibitors both in vitro and in vivo. Other antiapoptotic proteins that are inhibited by curcumin
include Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, X-linked inhibitors of apoptosis (XIAP), and survivin. Curcumin sensitizes
prostate cancer cells to TRAIL by inhibiting Akt-regulated NF-κB and NF-kappaB-dependent
antiapoptotic Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and XIAP. Curcumin-induced apoptosis in human androgen-
independent (DU145) and -dependent (LNCaP) prostate cancer cell lines and HL-60 cells, which
correlated with down-regulation of the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL
Binding to Microtubules
Curcumin may inhibit cancer cell proliferation by perturbing microtubule assembly dynamics. At
higher inhibitory concentrations (>10 μM), curcumin induced significant depolymerization of
interphase microtubules and mitotic spindle microtubules of HeLa and MCF-7 cells. However, at
low inhibitory concentrations there were minimal effects on cellular microtubules. It disrupted
microtubule assembly in vitro, reduced GTPase activity, and induced tubulin aggregation. In one
study, curcumin-down-regulated Taxol induced phosphorylation of the serine/threonine kinase
Akt, a survival signal which in many instances is regulated by NF-kappaB, but tubulin
polymerization and cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2 activation induced by Taxol was not affected by
curcumin.
Proteasome Activation
It has been reported that curcumin-induced apoptosis is mediated through the impairment of
ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). Curcumin disrupts UPS function by directly inhibiting the
enzyme activity of the proteasome's 20S core catalytic component. The direct inhibition of
proteasome activity also causes an increase in half-life of IκBα that ultimately leads to the down-
regulation of NF-κB activation, thus activating the apoptotic pathway. Exposure of mouse neuro 2a
cells to curcumin causes a dose-dependent decrease in proteasome activity and an increase in
ubiquitinated proteins. Curcumin targets proliferative cells more efficiently than differentiated
cells and induces apoptosis via mitochondrial pathways.
Studies have shown that curcumin mediates its apoptotic and antiinflammatory activities through
modulation of the redox status of the cell. TNF-mediated NF-κB activation was inhibited by
curcumin; and glutathione reversed the inhibition. Glutathione also counteracted the inhibitory
effects of curcumin on TNF-induced NF-κB-regulated antiapoptotic (Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, IAP1),
proliferative (cyclin D1), and proinflammatory (COX2, iNOS, and MMP-9) gene products. Reports
suggest that curcumin modifies TrxR by shifting the enzyme from an antioxidant to a prooxidant.
Low concentrations of curcumin may protect hepatocytes by reducing lipid peroxidation and
cytochrome c release. Conversely, higher concentrations provoke glutathione depletion, caspase-3
activation, and hepatocytotoxicity. Curcumin pretreatment significantly decreased ROS and
resulted in survival of copper-injured BRL cells, possibly by anti-oxidation and inhibition of p-JNK
expression. Curcumin induces apoptosis via ROS generation in malignant cells, but not in normal
cells. In Jurkat cells, curcumin prevents glutathione decrease, thus protecting cells against caspase-
3 activation and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. In normal cells, curcumin induces apoptosis
in a glutathione-independent pathway.
Autophagy
Inhibition of NF-κB
The transcription factor NF-κB is constitutively expressed in almost all cancer types and suppresses
apoptosis in a wide variety of tumors. The constitutive expression of NF-κB has been reported in
human cancer cell lines in culture, carcinogen-induced mouse mammary tumors, and biopsies
from cancer patients. There are various reports that curcumin inhibits the activation of NF-κB by
inducers such as TNF, H2O2. phorbol ester, cigarette smoke condensate, interleukin (IL)-1, 12-O-
tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), and anticancer drugs. Curcumin inhibits the activation of
NF-κB and the expression of various oncogenes regulated by NF-κB, including c-jun, c-fos, c-myc,
NIK, MAPKs, ERK, ELK, PI3K, Akt, CDKs, and iNOS. Curcumin prevents the entry of NF-κB into the
nucleus, thereby decreasing the expression of cell cycle regulatory proteins and survival factors
such as Bcl-2 and survivin. Curcumin arrested the cell cycle by preventing the expression of cyclin
D1, cdk-1, and cdc-25.
In hepatic cancer HA22T/VGH cell line, curcumin inhibited constitutively activated NF-κB and NF-
κB regulated gene products such as apoptosis proteins (IAPs) and other target genes. It inhibits
TNF-induced NF-κB-regulated gene products involved in cellular proliferation (COX2, cyclin D1, and
c-myc), antiapoptosis (IAP1, IAP2, XIAP, Bcl-2, and Bcl-xL;. Curcumin could prevent tumor-induced
thymic atrophy by restoring the activity of NF-κB. Further investigations suggest that neutralization
of tumor-induced oxidative stress and restoration of NF-κB activity along with the reduction of the
TNF-α signaling pathway can be the mechanism behind curcumin-mediated thymic protection.
Curcumin down-regulated NF-κB in human multiple myeloma cells, leading to the suppression of
proliferation and induction of apoptosis.
The Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway plays a major role in development, tissue homeostasis,
and regeneration. The deregulation of this pathway is found in various human cancers. Numerous
reports suggest that curcumin is a good inhibitor of b-catenin/Tcf signaling in gastric, colon, and
intestinal cancer cells. It has been reported
that inhibition of Wnt-2 had synergistic effects on suppressing Wnt signaling and inducing
apoptosis, suggesting that aberrant canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in colorectal cancer can
be regulated at multiple levels. Thus, the proapoptotic effects of curcumin could be mediated
through this pathway
Activation of Nrf2
Inhibition of hTERT
Another possible activity of curcumin able to induce cell death processes is the inhibition of hTERT,
the active subunit of telomerase. Increasing concentrations of curcumin caused a decrease in the
level of hTERT mRNA in MCF-7 cells. hTERT is activated in cancer cells and prevents telomere
shortening and thus the activation of apoptotic processes. The inhibition of hTERT is an additional
mechanism by which curcumin can induce cell death in cancer cells.
Curcumin has been shown to have differential effects on normal cells such as endothelial cells,
lymphocytes, hepatocytes, fibroblasts, thymocytes, and mammary epithelial cells. Why curcumin
kills tumor cells and not normal cells is not fully understood, but several reasons have been
suggested. First, absorption and Fluoreszenz spectroscopic methods showed that cellular uptake
of curcumin is higher in tumor cells than in normal cells. The studies also showed that curcumin
was maximally distributed in the cell membrane and the nucleus. Second, the glutathione levels in
tumor cells tend to be lower than normal cells, thus enhancing the sensitivity of tumor cells to
curcumin. Third, most tumor cells, but not normal cells, express constitutively active NF-κB and
mediate their survival. Curcumin can suppress the survival and proliferation of tumor cells by
suppressing NF-κB-regulated gene products. Apart from this, human epidermal keratinocytes have
been shown to undergo apoptosis when exposed to curcumin through the inhibition of AP-1. Low
concentrations of curcumin may protect hepatocytes by reducing lipid peroxidation and
cytochrome c release. Conversely, higher concentrations provoke glutathione depletion, caspase-3
activation, and hepatocytotoxicity. Interestingly, curcumin had no effect on normal rat
hepatocytes, which showed no superoxide generation and therefore no cell death. Primary
cultures of human dermal fibroblasts were less sensitive to lower doses of curcumin. Studies have
shown that curcumin causes fibroblast apoptosis and that this could be inhibited by co-
administration of antioxidants N-acetyl-l-cysteine , biliverdin or bilirubin, suggesting that ROS are
involved. In endothelial cells, curcumin inhibited MAP kinase activity and enhanced TNF-induced
apoptosis. Studies suggests that curcumin induces the apoptosis in human retinal endothelial cells
by the regulation of intracellular ROS generation, VEGF expression and release, and VEGF-
mediated PKC-beta II translocation. Curcumin can induce cell death in both quiescent and
proliferating normal human lymphocytes, without oligonucleosomal DNA degradation, which is
considered a main hallmark of apoptotic cell death. Curcumin induces cell death in lymphocytes
that can be classified as apoptosis-like cell death.
CONCLUSION
Overall, our review shows that curcumin can kill a wide variety of tumor cell types through diverse
mechanisms. Because of numerous mechanisms of cell death employed by curcumin, it is possible
that cells may not develop resistance to curcumin-induced cell death. Furthermore, its ability to
kill tumor cells and not normal cells makes curcumin an attractive candidate for drug
development. Although numerous animal studies and clinical trials have been done, additional
studies are needed to gain the full benefit from curcumin.

Konsum: Es gibt Arzneien als Pillen, Kapseln, in flüssiger Form, als Pulver oder Zäpfchen. Psychisch
wirksame Medikamente sind meist verschreibungspflichtig.
Wirkung: Stimulanzien, wie Ritalin, putschen auf, Schlaf- und Beruhigungsmittel (etwa Valium,
Benzodiazepine) dämpfen und entspannen. Antidepressiva (zum Beispiel Trevilor) hellen die
Stimmung auf und lindern Ängste, Analgetika, wie etwa Opiate, lindern Schmerzen.
Gefahren: Wer Arzneien ohne ärztlichen Rat nimmt, kann rasch körperliche und psychische
Probleme entwickeln. Viele Medikamente lösen Entzugserscheinungen aus und können langfristig
die Organe schädigen.

Dr. Robert Thomas COOPER EN una serie de artículos publicados en el
(1844-1903)
Hahnemannian Monthly de Filadelfia, esbocé un
sistema para la mejor investigación de sustancias medicinales, y en particular de
remedios vegetales, a los que di el nombre Arborivital Medicina.
Mi argumento, en una palabra, es este, que en las plantas vivas obtenemos una
fuerza que, si se aplica de acuerdo con las leyes de la Vida, enfermedad, detendrá
su progreso, e incluso causará su dispersión. Además, que mientras preparaciones
artificiales, sustancias vegetales, una propiedad de persistencia en el cuerpo
humano y continuar actuando durante mucho más tiempo de lo que se
sospechaba anteriormente. Tal poder él Se requieren diluciones y trituraciones
declaradas para una mejor demostración de tales fuerza en sustancias minerales,
no son necesarias para probar la existencia de una fuerza similar en remedios
vegetales. A esta fuerza le di el nombre de arborivital, y la acción que resulta de
ahí Arborivital Action.
Para ser calificado tiene que mantener Estudiar anatomía y materia médica
durante dos años antes de que se le permita sentir el pulso, mirar en la lengua, o
dar una dosis de medicamento.
Aquí, sin embargo, cualquier pequeño orgullo que pudiera sentir en haberse
absuelto con éxito, hasta ahora, en su carrera profesional, es destinado a recibir
un duro choque.
Considerando que estos mismos hombres han sido llenar los sistemas de seres
humanos que sufren toda su vida con medicinas, es más bien demasiado absurdo.
Por otra parte, también es el hecho de que la mayoría de las Fácilmente actuado
sobre todas las formas de enfermedades crónicas son, como se acaba de insinuar,
los tumores, especialmente los internos, ya sean cancerosos o no. Es el objeto de
este folleto para apoyar estas dos últimas proposiciones.
Una señora me preguntó si me haría cargo del caso. de una mujer pobre que
sufría de cáncer, a la que se le había extirpado un poco el riñón derecho
dieciocho meses antes, y en quienes el cáncer había estallado de nuevo en el sitio
del operación y alrededor de la vejiga.
Sin ver al paciente, y desde mi experiencia en tales casos, respondí que con toda
probabilidad había una gran cantidad de crecimiento canceroso presente, y que si
es así, la probabilidad estaba a favor de que fuera fácilmente actuó y, en
consecuencia, que la enfermedad se expondría casi de inmediato, tomó un dosis
del remedio indicado. El paciente, por lo tanto, continué diciendo, probablemente
será asustado, y suspender el tratamiento.
Reconociendo el hecho de que todo esto era para ser completamente explicado
por el derramamiento de la enfermedad, simplemente aconsejé abundantes
corrientes de agua muy caliente en sorbos, y la interrupción en la medida de lo
posible de la morfia que tenía estado tomando.
In all varieties of chronic disease the same force may be thrown into the
system, and may begin working from the first, yet the evidence of its activity is t
once apparent in the cancers, and it may be demonstrable in the others for weeks,
or even months. And is this unreasonable? In such a condition as cancerous
tumours we get myriads of germs accumulated in one part of the body, the
inference being that Nature, always conservative, protects and prolongs the life of
the individual by causing these germs to collect in one region, rather than allow
the poisonous dissemination throughout the various structures of the human
body. If this be the case, the effect of the indicated remedy will be proportionate
to the size of the accumulated mass and the ease with which it can be acted on.
If, then, the ignorant and superstitious idea obtains that there must be some
proportion between the amount of disease material and the size and virulence of
the dispersing agent, any attempt at curing the disease is simply hopeless. For is
it not evident that if a large quantity of such a substance is necessarily associated
with a proportionate amount of force, such force, if in relationship with the
disease, will be so great as to cause a rapid giving way of diseased tissue and will
thus tend to poison the patient? While if, in such a case as the above, the doses,
though small are too frequently repeated, the effect will be the same, and the too
rapid dispersal of the diseased material will act as a poison not alone to the life of
the adjoining tissues but to that of the patient thus rapidly infected?
The seed of a globe turnip (Brassica Rapa) is said to multiply its bulk in the
ground seventeen million of times, the resulting effect being in no way due to the
size of the original seed but to relationship that exists between the soil and the
germ or seed placed there.
In the case of cancer referred to, the evidence is almost as it is that the turnip
resulted from the originating seed. The power is manifest, it is strong, and
science having obtained such a power ought to find means to make it efficient
efficient, that is, for curative purposes.
Were there no evidence forthcoming but that furnished the above case, it
alone would prove the preliminary statement that the cancers, and especially the
internal ones, can easily be acted on.
But can this Force, so powerful in disturbing a disease mass, be utilised for
curative purposes ? In the case referred to, an immense carcinomatous mass
extended from close below the liver down to the pelvis of the right side, and at
the site of operation this pointed and threatened to ulcerate. A patient whose body
is so full of cancerous material, and with but a single kidney left after the
operator has done his work, is not under any circumstances likely to recover; but
that she is being acted upon, and acted upon beneficially, is evident from the
pains having changed in character and severity from stabbing, shooting pains to
dull and dragging ones and from the fact that the patient no longer requires
morphia for her pains, and is having sufficient sleep. Though, as I write, a
fortnight has elapsed since this patient took a dose of a very simple remedy,
Juniper comm., given in consequences of the Polyuria that existed before the
cancer was detected, her entreaty is not to be given another yet awhile; and she is
perfectly right. The action started is a beneficial one, but it is attended with
greater changed than the poor patient can comfortably endure. Its violence must
be allowed to tone down before a repetition of such effects can be safely
endured.The subsequent course of the disease was characteristic. The patient
went on very well and free frompain until on 3rd September I gave her a dose of
silphium perfoliatum. At the time of taking it she had been getting on very fairly,
the swelling, which had threatened to press up dangerously against the chest, had
lessened; and the condition might have been regarded as one of remarkable
quiescence, no change taking place either way.
Immediately after the dose a gnawing pain in the swelling set in and the
bowels became confined, and the scar left by the eviscerated kidney began
irritating and in four or five days discharge was noticed. This discharge
continued to increase till a large opening formed, from which a profuse clear
fluid went on pouring away night and day, from the end of September to 11th
December following. on the night of 10th December she was so free from pain
and suffering that her daughter, who had attended her assiduously all through,
left with every expectoration that her mother's rest would be undisturbed.
However, in the early morning (about 2 a.m.) sinking set in, and in about an hour
she passed away peaceably and happily and without a particle of pain.
What is the meaning of all this? The meaning of it is, that the vital powers had
become exhausted by the draining away of the disease, an out-pouring having
been effected by the unit dose of silphium given 3rd September. This out-pouring
would have been curative had the amount of cancerous material been less in
quantity; that it was undoubtedly natural, is proved by the absence of pain, the
shrinkage of the cancerous mass, which was very obvious, and the general
improvement in the patient's condition during its continuance. In other words, the
evidence in favour of there being in operation a form of activity other than the
activity of the cancer force itself, subsequently to the exhibition of the indicated
remedy, is as conclusive as anything can be in such matters. That heaped up
disease, in the form of cancerous mass, can be set free by the action of remedies,
is placed, in my opinion, almost beyond dispute by the case of a lady, aged 54,
the left side of whose neck was one great mass of cancerous glands a truly
malignant form of Hodgkin's disease. Three months before seeing me this patient
had presented herself at Charing Cross Hospital, where he case was very properly
declared hopeless, and an operation refused. In the meantime the disease had
much extended, and when I saw her, masses of cancerous material existed on the
right side of nape of neck, as well as those on the side and below the collar bone
on the left. On january 5, I prescribed a unit dose and an ointment of scrophularia
nodosa, and on the 19th following had in a report that a diffused rash, looking
like that of measles, had spread over the body and face immediately after taking
my medicine, and that otherwise she had improved; the phlegm coming up in the
throat was less and the bowels were more regular. Ruta graveolens in unit dose
and ointment was then given, and on February 2 following, she was reported as
feeling much better and could swallow better. The swellings, though the same in
size, had become tender to the touch.
Now, my inference from all this was that the patient had been strongly acted
upon, as shown in the first interval by this "measles" eruption, and in the second
interval by the tenderness of the swellings, and throughout both intervals by the
general improvement in the patient's feelings. My advice, therefore, was to
absolutely discontinue all medicines, as I felt sure a force was acting upon the
swellings, and that she ran the risk of having the disease set free too quickly. This
was proved to my mind most unmistakably by the subsequent progress.
On February 14 report came in that for three days there had been great
difficulty in breathing and in swallowing, and to this my remedies, and that the
patient was simply to sip constantly of lemon juice and hot water.
In about three weeks afterwards I was forwarded, by two messengers well
acquainted with the deceased, a flurried letter, written by her daughter, to the
effect that they had left the patient only too long without medicine, and that by
the time a doctor was called in mortification had set in, and that the poor patient
had died that morning. It was obvious from the tone of the letter that a rival
practitioner had been making disparaging remarks, as sometimes happens. But
this did not prevent my putting some questions to the bearers of this unhappy
intelligence.
Firstly I asked, "Did the patient die in pain ?" Reply,"Oh no ! not in the least."
" And where, may I ask was the mortification ?" Reply, " Across the loins; the
parts turned quite black she reply was that I could not sanction the giving of
ordinary ent entirely away; there was not a vestige to be seen of them before she
died." " Well, then," I said, " can you not see what took place ? The medicines
acted on the disease and acted beneficially, but the diseased material being in
such large quantity, and discharging itself as it did through the system, an undue
amount of poison was thrown upon the chief emunctories, the kidneys, and these,
unable to bear the strain, mortified, together with the adjoining structures, hence
the blackened appearance of the loins. This only shows the extreme naturalness
of the process in operation, the patient going out of the world in a condition
perfectly painless and in her senses, not in terrific agony, only subduable by
obliteration of sensation by morphia."
Life in Cancer
Life in Cancer alike to other forms of Life. The indicated remedy must be
found; general hints for finding it. The prescriber compared to a gardener. Case
of Cancer of Pylorus that had been unsuccessfully operated on.
But just as the experienced gardener knows the conditions that are most
favourable for development of the energies of certain seed, so ought the
experienced practitioner to know the conditions that in the diseases patient will
call into activity the curative energies of his remedy.
The consideration of this aspect of the question is likely to lead to much that is
controverted; it will suffice to say that I have met with very little difficulty in this
particular class of diseases in arriving at the indicated remedies.
In this regard I have not allowed myself to be swayed by the teachings of the
high dilutionists of the Homoeopathic School,or by the teachings of those who
contend that some special symptom should constitute a key-note and that this
should be our guide to the selection of the remedy; nor have I been guided by the
more modern and material school, who insist that the curative dose should
correspond in size with the pathogenic dose, and that no remedy can be relied on
as a curative unless it has produced the actual disease for which it is prescribed.
On the contrary, I take into consideration all the bearings both of the disease
tendencies and of the symptoms past and present, and in accordance with these I
select my remedy.
Thus, in the case of abdominal cancer referred to, I learned before prescribing
that the period came dark and in clotted lumps, that she had had a sensation of
something moving inside the abdomen, with a livid complexion changing now
and then to yellow, and a general feeling of pressure in the abdomen, with
weighty feeling towards the womb; these, added to my general experience with
the effects of this particular remedy, led me to Crocus Sativus.
But it is impossible to dwell on such particular for very long; they would by
themselves fill a volume.
The physician prescribing for such cases as these may well be compared with
the experienced gardener who bases his selection of the suitable soil for
particular seeds upon a general experience, much of which it is impossible to
communicate by word of mouth.
It is easy for the gardener to state the plain fact of having chosen a particular
soil and a special season for any given seed, but he can do little more than this;
he has probably forgotten the many little experiences that from time to time
influenced him it may be unconsciously in his determination. His advantages
over the doctor largely resided in the fact the from boyhood he has been in the
habit of gardening; the doctor has never prescribed until he theoretically knew
much, and practically knew nothing; until, in fact, the best part of his life was lost
in acquiring the crudest theories of the actions of medicines.
History. Fifteen or eighteen years subject to dyspeptic pains, and twelve years
ago strained himself lifting a kitchen range; felt the strain severely below the
chest, and dates his suffering from then, though even before this was dyspeptic.
Was treated in the Heart Hospital under Dr., after having been an out-patient for
six months previously. Here his heart was pronounced affected, with old pleuritic
sounds down left side, along with ulceration of the stomach. Then as out-patient
(he was discharged from Hospital end of October, 1896) was again treated,
chiefly with electricity.
In the middle of January, 1898, severe pain set in between the liver and
stomach and he went into West minister Hospital, the diagnosis being neuralgia
of the stomach from gastric catarrh. Was discharged unrelieved; and was then
seen by several other physicians, and in March was advised to go into the Cancer
Hospital, Brompton, where he was operated on; the statement made to him after
the operation being that adhesions had been found between the stomach and
thoracic wall, with a cancerous growth and thickening of the pyloric, extremity of
the duodenum, and that it was impossible to remove all the diseased tissue. Some
temporary relief followed upon the operation, and he was discharged from the
hospital under promise of his returning of pain reappeared.
The patient from whom these particulars are gathered, writes to me that " The
Cancer Hospital also arranged with Dr. D., a French specialist, to come over (to
the Hospital) and I (the patient) consented to another operation under him; but
when my case was fully explained to him he went back (to France) without doing
anything, as I understood he could not do me any good." This was after having
obtained re-admission to the hospital owing to the return of his agonising pains.
After being six weeks in hospital on this second occasion he returned home, and
was assured by his own doctor that everything possible had been done for him,
and that he could not possibly live long, and that he must bear the pain while life
lasted.
I first saw him on the evening of July 22, 1898; he was then writhing in agony
on his bed, and could keep nothing long on his stomach; warm foods relieved,
cold drinks aggravated.
The pains were worse at night, and began in the stomach, spreading from
there to the heart and between the shoulders, as if an iron back were being forced
through the stomach and chest. The patient felt the growth to be rapidly
enlarging, and pointed to the visible bulging underneath there attachment of the
diaphragm, where there is marked dullness on percussion, the bulging extending
to scrobiculus cordis. His tongue is red and coated towards the back, bowels
confined, though sometimes has diarrhoea.
His family history is good, except that his father died at the age of 73 of
gastric ulceration.
On July 27 he wrote that he had had terrible pains on Saturday the 23rd, and
had vomited twice; at 6 o'clock, p.m., of this day had taken a unit dose of
Ornithogalum Umbellatum, and afterwards reported that it was followed by great
pains, he felt almost frantic at 3 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. when the bowels acted.
At 3 a.m. he began taking 3 grains every third hour of Carbo Vegetabilis 3x. The
pain, however, still kept on, and affected not alone the stomach but the whole
body, and as he thought the Carbo increased the pains he left it off on the
Tuesday following. On the next day he wrote me that since being under me a
frothy substance comes up which gives great relief.
From this report I concluded the Ornithogalum Umbel. had touched the
disease, and had acted beneficially, though restricted in its operation by the
Carbo Vegetabilis. The expulsion of a frothy substance with relief was, I
considered, sufficient evidence of beneficial action. For this reason I sent him
Ornithogalum Umbel. again, and in unit dose. This he took on the evening of
July 28, and almost immediately after began bringing up a back jell-like
substances, with great relief to pain and a general improvement in his condition.
Being away from town in August the patient frequently wrote me, the report on
August 29 being as follows: " I am pleased to tell you that I still keep fairly well,
although at times I have great pain in the lower part of the stomach. I have also
great difficulty in going to sleep, owing to the creepy sensation in my limbs. I
also find that when I sit down my legs and feet go all of a creep, and I am unable
to keep still, and cannot read unless I walk about. My feet also ache and swell."
I deferred prescribing till September 9, when the same was again given, and
on September 18 he writes: " I am pleased to say the sleeplessness at night time
has gradually gone away, and I can now sleep much better. I still feel pain in my
left leg and foot, but not nearly so bad. I find slight pains at the bottom of my
stomach, and also a little more swelling. I still feel weak and unable to walk, far
at time, but of course the weather has been very trying even to strong people.
"I am pleased and thankful for the progress I have made, and have to thank
you for the splendid results of your treatment. I could not possibly have lived
much longer in the terrible suffering I was in."
On September 30 I saw him, and he informed me that after the dose the feet
and ankles began to swell, but gradually got better, and that a week ago the right
leg felt as if it were bruised, and is now painful and angry-looking it is swollen
and tense, and pits on pressure. He feels, too, when eating, as if the food chokes
in the stomach; some flatus, bowels regular.
On this occasion I gave him another dose of the ornith. umbel. The effect of it,
however, was to confirm my belief that this swelling of the absorbents, shown by
the condition of the right leg and previous swollen condition of the feet and
ankles, resulted from the high pressure put upon the emunctories owing to the
setting free of poison in the system.
Believing that this was due to the rapid elimination of the cancer poison, I
rather astonished him by insisting upon his walking away without any medicine
whatever.

En Muchos casos de curación de la patología han ocurrido como una deliciosa sorpresa
para el médico, que se da cuenta en esta evidencia de la exactitud de la prescripción, que no
sólo restauró las actividades funcionales, pero alteró la nutrición hasta el punto de eliminar
los productos de desorden.
El dificultad en la prescripción para pacientes con tal tejido alterado - catarata,
hepatización (en neumonía), induración de glándulas, aterio-esclerosis, fibromas, cáncer,
etc. - descansa en el El hecho de que cuando se producen estos cambios en los tejidos, los
síntomas sobre los que debe ser una receta basado - los síntomas del paciente - han
desaparecido. Los síntomas presentes en el momento son síntomas de la patología. Si se
pueden aprender los síntomas que precedieron a esta afección, y Considerado junto con los
resultados posteriores del trastorno - el tejido patológico - puede ser Posibilidad de
seleccionar un remedio que esté suficientemente relacionado tanto con el paciente como
con su patología, para efectuar una cura de ambos, siempre que la reacción y vitalidad de la
paciente son suficientes para permitir la resolución.
Causto., Graph., Lyc., Nit-Ac., Staph., Thuja y muchos otros remedios se relacionan
con las exrescencias. Piel las induraciones son satisfechas por Ant-C., Calc., Con., Lyc.,
Phos., Rhus., Sep., Sil., Sulph. y remedios similares. Las glándulas induradas encuentran
remedios adecuados en Ben-Ac., Brom., Calc., Calc-F. y remedios de profundidad similar,

adecuados para las induraciones musculares.
Cono., Bapt., Gels., Ipec. y nunca se ha sabido que los recursos de este alcance
produzcan ninguna alteración por induración e infiltración, por lo tanto, el prescriptor sabio
no seleccionará estos remedios para pacientes con las condiciones antes mencionadas,
cuando tenga aquellos, de los cuales seleccionar, que están preeminentemente relacionados
con la condición exacta presente. La selección final de un recurso, cuando estas
condiciones están presentes, debe ser determinado por el carácter de síntomas que
precedieron, o lo que puede estar presente e indicativo del propio paciente.
En neumonía, en período de hepatización, cuando los síntomas apuntan a Arsenicum,
el paciente morir si se prescribe Arsenicum, porque este remedio no es lo suficientemente
profundo como para incluir eso infiltración: azufre, licopodio, fósforo, calcarea, etc., debe
asumir el trabajo donde Arsenicum no pudo continuar. Uno de estos remedios limpiará los
pulmones, en unas pocas horas, con una desaparición de todos los síntomas dependientes de
la infiltración, y del paciente, liberado de la carga, será restaurado a la salud prontamente,
en lugar de sucumbir a la interferencia mecánica y la consiguiente inanición de aire.
Por Referencia al repertorio el prescriptor puede encontrar soluciones que así se han
establecido como adecuados para la supuración, los adecuados para el cáncer, los
adecuados para la tuberculosis, los relacionados con la apoplejía, etc., y como prescriptor
inteligente, el médico debe seleccionar un Remedio para el paciente similar a la condición
del trastorno último. Esto es totalmente diferente de prescribir sobre la patología solamente,

por James Tyler Kent, M.D.
Presentado por Sylvain Cazalet
¿Qué es más hermoso a la vista que el brote? durante sus cambios cada hora a la
rosa en su floración.
Las muchas cosas aprendidas por la acción del primero El remedio determina el
tipo de demanda hecha al médico para la segunda receta.
Muchos problemas surgen para ser resueltos que deben ser resuelto, o el fracaso
puede seguir.
2. Es una pregunta que se hace con frecuencia pero rara vez se responde.
8. ¿Por qué tantos pacientes se benefician cuando van por primera vez a la
médico y a partir de entonces no obtener ningún beneficio?
Supongo que la mayoría de los buenos prescriptores dirán:
"A menudo hemos actuado demasiado pronto, pero nunca hemos esperado.
demasiado tiempo".
Muchos médicos fracasan por no esperar, y sin embargo La espera debe ser
gobernada por el conocimiento.
Saber que esta espera es correcta es muy diferente de esperar sin un propósito
fijo.
En tales casos, todo recurso puede paliar su sufrimientos, pero la cura no llega.
Los síntomas que son las expresiones de la debilidad están ahí, y por lo tanto la
totalidad de los síntomas no se elimina.
Cada vez que los síntomas devuelven la misma imagen, llamando Para el mismo
remedio, entonces es que hemos demostrado, que (para un tiempo, si la
enfermedad es crónica) podemos sino recomendar el rango de dinámica a Cura
este caso.
What must the physician do who has not the knowledge of dynamic medicines
?
He must sometimes see sick images come back without change of symptoms,
though I believe it is seldom.
The symptoms may call for Phosphorus as strongly as when he began, and
Phosphorus 6X has served and no longer cures.
Can it be possible that man can be so ignorant of how to cure as to give a drug
that is not indicated because the one that is indicated does not cure ?
These ignorant mortals condemn the system of Homoeopathy and feel that
they have performed their duty to the sick, forgetting that ignorance was the
culprit.
When the picture comes back unaltered except by the absence of some one or
more symptoms, the remedy should never be changed until a still higher potency
has been fully tested, as no harm can come to the case from giving a single dose
of a medicine that has exhausted its curative powers.
To change to the next remedy becomes a ponderous problem, and what shall it
be ?
The last appearing symptom shall be the guide to the next remedy.
This is so whenever the image has been permitted to settle by watching and
waiting for the shaping of the returning symptom-picture.
Long have I waited after exhausting the power of a remedy, while observing a
few of the old symptoms returning ; finally a new symptom appears.
This latest symptom will appear in the anamnesis as best related to some
medicine having it as a characteristic which most likely have all the rest of the
symptoms.
It is not supposed that this later appearing symptom is an old symptom on its
way to final departure, for so long as old symptoms reappear and disappear it is
granted that no medicine is to be thought of.
The physician must wait for permanency or firmness in the relations of the
image before making a prescription.
Some say :
"I must give the patient medicine or he will go and see someone else."
I have only to say that it were better had all sick folks gone somewhere else,
for these doctors seldom cure but often complicate the sickness.
It may grow worse if treated with the remedy for the acute symptoms.
The waiting on Saccharum lactis, through several attacks permitted the drug-
effects to pass off, and the true image of the sickness was permitted to express
itself through several of the exacerbations taken as a whole.
When western ague is complicated with a miasm, a single paroxysm does not
fully express the totality, but several must be grouped and the true image will be
discovered.
If the acute disease be complicated with a miasm the indicated remedy will
wipe it out :
In very grave diseases haste is a common error, more frequently with the
second prescription than the first.
This is an error ; many a life has been saved by waiting and waiting.
For example:
A little girl was suffering from a severe attack of diphtheria and the mother
had treated it four days with Mercurius solubilis 3x, and Kalium bichromicum
3x, in alternation.
She was poor, and therefore I did not refuse to take the case which was then in
a very bad state : nose, mouth and larynx full of exudate.
After a long study the child received Lycopodium clavatum cm., one dose,
dry, which cleared out the exudate from nose and fauces, but did not touch the
larynx.
I dare not tell you how long I watched that child before I saw an indication for
the second remedy which it would have needed had the Lycopodium clavatum
been given when the child first took sick.
I waited until the poor child was threatening dissolution when I saw a little
tough yellow mucus in the mouth :
Kalium bichromicum, cm., one dose, cleared the larynx in one day and there
was no further medication necessary.
The first prescription is made with the entire image of the sickness formed.
(People usually send for the doctor after there can be no doubt of the
sickness to be treated.)
The doctor watches the improvement of the patient and the corresponding
disappearance of the symptoms under the first prescription, and when the case
comes to a standstill he is uneasy, and with increasing fidgetiness he awaits the
coming indication for the next dose of medicine.
The fidgetiness which comes from a lack of knowledge unfits the physician as
an observer and judge of symptoms ; hence we see the doctor usually failing to
cure his own children.
He cannot wait and reason clearly over the returning symptoms.
While watching the prescriptions of beginners, I have observed very often the
proper results of the first prescription.
The patient has improved for a time, the ceased to respond to any remedy.
Close investigation generally reveals that this patient improved after the first
dose of medicine, that the symptoms changed slightly without new symptoms,
and the new "photo" seemed to call for some other remedy, when, of course, the
remedy was changed and trouble began.
Some of experience make lesser blunders and some make few, but how many
have made none ?
All of these blunders I have made, as I had no teacher, until I blundered upon
the works of the great Master.
III Wait and observe
The first prescription may not have been well chosen medicine, and then it
becomes necessary to make a second effort.
As time brings about the re-examination of the patient, new facts are brought
out in relation to the image of the sickness, indicating that the first medicine had
not been suitable ; perhaps several weeks have passed and the reexamination
finds no change in the symptoms.
Shall I compare all the facts in the case to reassure myself of the correctness
of the first prescription, or shall I wait longer ?
Yes, to the former, of course, and if the remedy is still the most similar to all
the symptoms, wait, and watch, and study the patient for a new light on his
feelings to which he has become so accustomed he has not observed.
Commonly the new study of the case will reveal the reason why the first
prescription has not cured: it was not appropriate.
If it still appears to be the most similar remedy the question arises :
At this point it should be duly appreciated that the length of time is not so
important as being on the safe side, and "wait" is the only safe thing to do.
It may have been many days, but that matters not, wait longer.
The finest curative action I ever observed was begun sixty days after the
administration of a single dose.
The curative action may begin as late as a long-acting drug can produce
symptoms on a healthy body.
This guide has never been thought of by our writers, but it is well to be
considered.
Why not ?
It is the practice for some to go lower if a high potency has failed.
This method has but few recorded successes but should not be ignored.
This has at times seemed to have favor over the single dry dose.
This is open for discussion, requiring the testimony of the many, not of few, to
give weight.
The best reports are made from both methods, and both are in harmony with
correct practice.
The first prescription sometimes changes the symptoms that are harmless and
painless into symptoms that are dangerous and painful.
If a rheumatism of the knee goes to the heart under a remedy prescribed for
the one symptom, the remedy has done harm.
If the remedy changes the general symptom-image, and the general state of
the patient is growing worse, the question then comes up, was the prescription
only similar to a part of the image, or is the disease incurable ?
If the disease is incurable, the action of the remedy was not expected to do
more than to change the sufferings into peaceful symptoms, and the second
prescription is to be considered only when new sufferings demand a remedy.
But suppose such a change of suffering comes after the first prescription and
the disease is undoubtedly curable, then the conclusion must be that the first
prescription was not the true specific, and that the true image has not been seen.
Wait until the old image has fully returned is all there is to do.
It is hazardous practice to follow up rapidly all the changing symptoms in any
sickness, with remedies that simply for the moment seem similar to the
symptoms present.
The object of the first prescription is to arrange the vital current or motion in a
direction favorable to equilibrium, and when this is attained it must not be
disturbed by a new interference. Ignorance in this sphere has cost millions of
lives.
When will the medical world be willing to learn these principles so well that
they can cure speedily, gently and permanently ?
There can be no fixed time for making the second prescription ; it may be
many months.
The second prescription must be one that has a friendly relation to the last one
or the preceding.
No intelligent prescription can be made without knowing the last remedy.
When Pulsatilla has been of great service in a given case and finally cures no
more, while the symptoms now point to Silicea, the latter will be given with
confidence as its complementary relation has long been established.
Por otro lado, el causticum y el fósforo no les gusta trabajar uno después del otro,
ni a Apis le irá bien después de Rhus.
Cómo los médicos pueden hacer la segunda receta Sin tener en cuenta la
experiencia de casi un siglo, es más de lo que el hombre puede saber.
Me dicen casi a diario que este tipo de práctica es partiendo pelos, pero estoy
convencido de la necesidad de obedecer cada mandamiento judicial.
El médico que tiene en su libro de casos las notas de Cada enfermedad de sus
pacientes tiene un dominio maravilloso de cualquier comunidad.
Él tiene los viejos síntomas y los remedios notados que curado, y puede hacer
una investigación indirecta después de que todos los viejos síntomas hayan
desaparecido hace mucho tiempo.
Es una suerte que los médicos que repiten mientras El remedio es actuar son tan
malos prescriptores o su lista de muerte sería enorme.

Oncology – A Repertorial approach
A compilation of cancer related rubrics for day to day clinical practice
Dr.Kent in his lesser writings discuss why is cancer incurable. He tells that in most cases there is
paucity of symptoms, and there is nothing discoverable but the malignant growth and its
associated features of hardness, stinging pain ulceration, enlarged glands and the tendency to
involve the surrounding parts in its own development. If the child’s mental symptoms could be
fully ascertained and the symptom from child hood to the adult age, some thing might be done.
Cancer generally comes on in later life, when childhood action have forgotten. If the symptoms
that have appeared from birth to the present date are undiscovered, it is no wonder that cancer
is incurable. (J.T.Kent, Why cancer is incurable, Lesser writings)
Hahnemann says all curable disease make themselves known to the intelligent physician in signs
and symptoms Pathological conditions as also the patient are incurable when there are no signs
and symptoms .In proportion as the pathology progress signs and symptoms decreases. This is true
in cancer cases. In terminal cancer cases there are paucity of symptoms and even if there is any
that are mainly the common symptoms or pathological symptoms.
As Dr. Stuart Close says, the gross tissue changes, organic lesions, morphological disproportion
and the physical effect of mechanical causes are not primarily with in the domain of similia and
there for are not the object of homoeopathic treatment, the morbid process from which they
arise, or to which they lead are amenable to homoeopathic medications. Homoeopathic remedies
by virtue of their power to control vital function and increase resistance often exercise a
favorable influence upon the physical development as well as up on the tangible products of
disease or accident.Thus the growth of the tumor may be retarded or arrested. So the conditions
like cancer with gross tissue changes we can’t expect a cure and the only thing a homoeopath can
do is to palliate the suffering. (Stuart Close, The scope of homoeopathy, Life, health and disease,
The genius of homoeopathy)

El Dr. Kent en sus escritos menores analiza por qué el cáncer es incurable. Él dice que en la
mayoría de los casos hay escasez de síntomas, y no hay nada detectable excepto el crecimiento
maligno y sus características asociadas de dureza, dolor punzante, ulceración, agrandamiento de
las glándulas y la tendencia a involucrar las partes circundantes en su propio desarrollo. Si los
síntomas mentales del niño pudieran determinarse completamente y el síntoma desde la infancia
hasta la edad adulta, se podría hacer algo. El cáncer generalmente aparece en la vejez, cuando se
han olvidado las acciones de la infancia. Si no se descubren los síntomas que han aparecido desde
el nacimiento hasta la fecha actual, no es de extrañar que el cáncer sea incurable. (J.T.Kent, Por
qué el cáncer es incurable, Escritos menores)
Hahnemann dice que todas las enfermedades curables se dan a conocer al médico inteligente en
signos y síntomas Las condiciones patológicas, como también el paciente, son incurables cuando
no hay signos ni síntomas. En proporción al progreso de la patología, los signos y síntomas
disminuyen. Esto es cierto en los casos de cáncer. En los casos de cáncer terminal hay escasez de
síntomas e incluso si los hay, son principalmente los síntomas comunes o los síntomas patológicos.
Como dice el Dr. Stuart Close, los grandes cambios tisulares, las lesiones orgánicas, la
desproporción morfológica y el efecto físico de las causas mecánicas no pertenecen
principalmente al dominio de los similia y, por lo tanto, no son objeto del tratamiento
homeopático, el proceso mórbido del que proceden. surgen, o a los que conducen son
susceptibles de medicamentos homeopáticos. Los remedios homeopáticos, en virtud de su poder
para controlar la función vital y aumentar la resistencia, a menudo ejercen una influencia
favorable sobre el desarrollo físico, así como sobre los productos tangibles de la enfermedad o
accidente. Así, el crecimiento del tumor puede retrasarse o detenerse. Entonces, las condiciones
como el cáncer con grandes cambios en los tejidos, no podemos esperar una cura y lo único que
puede hacer un homeópata es paliar el sufrimiento. (Stuart Close, El alcance de la homeopatía,
Vida, salud y enfermedad, El genio de la homeopatía)
