Homeopathic Remedies Have an effect on Breast Cancer Cells; Breakthrough Research
I received this exciting news from the CMA.
A new study, just published in the International Journal of Oncology, reveals that homeopathic remedies have an effect on breast cancer cells.
The study, which was done in Houston Texas, shows that certain homeopathic remedies have preferentially elevated cytotoxic (killing) effects on breast cancer cells – compared with cells derived from normal breast epithelium.
The team of researchers commented that the homeopathic remedies appeared to have similar activity to the activity of paclitaxel (Taxol), the most commonly used chemotherapeutic drug for breast cancer, without the toxic effect on the normal cells.
The experiments were conducted in triplicate and repeated at least twice for each remedy. The homeopathic medicines tested included: Carcinosin, 30C; Conium maculatum, 3C; Phytolacca decandra, 200C and Thuja occidentalis, 30C. The most effective remedies were found to be Carcinosin and Phytolacca.
The researchers concluded, "the ultra-diluted natural homeopathic remedies investigated in this study offer the promise of being effective preventive and/or therapeutic agents for breast cancer and worthy of further study."
This is the first scientific study that investigated the effect of homeopathic remedies on breast cancer cells.
Dana Ullman, one of the best known writers on homeopathy stated: "This study 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 homeopathic remedies".
There are many research studies that show the effectiveness of Homeopathy please explore the Society of Homeopaths research section of their website.
