Dr. A.U. Ramakrishnan gives Carc. to people with cancer; he rotates it with the indicated remedy, for instance, he might give Conium one week and Carc. the next. He's written a book on homeopathy and the treatment of cancer.

There are those who say that Carc. is a polychrest, a remedy similar to Staphysagria; people eager to please and help out, peace-makers, people who try too hard and over-extend themselves, people with a history of domineering, demanding, strict parents who instilled fear--the individual learns to put his own needs aside to please others. It's a common story.
