Hi all,

We had some bad news today about a relative. He doesn't know that we know -

He has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Apparently it is quite bad - from what we were told - but we were given no details, other than he was initially told that he had an ulcer....but he persisted in going to the docs because of stomach pains...that were not relieved by the ulcer meds.

I'm wondering how effective Homeopathy is in treatment of Stomach Cancer, in case and opportunity to treat him arises!

Also - if he is too far gone....would the Dr Clark method be of any use (would it harm)....and then follow up with Homeopathic support to strengthen him??

I'm obivously not as objective as I should be - with this being a relative - but also, my knowledge in treatment is almost nil....just got the Philosophy down, so far...

Please - any input, GM, Franks, others?

Much appreciated!!
Lisa

Yes, but it depend on the location, spreading, how far it has gone, etc.
If to help, it must be done fast, pref before any operation or cellpoison.

Dear Lisa,
So sorry to hear about your relative. I don't know if this helps but Dr. Clark does have a secton in her book about advanced cancers and also a seperate book about advanced cancers. May be worth it to check it out. I hope you are able to get the advice you need and are able to offer it to your releative. My prayers are with you.

Gm - Thanks for your reply - but how can I find out more from him when he doesn't even know I know....

Shoot...I wish I could just tell him I know - but it is difficult and I know all hell would break loose...if I told. So, if he tells us - I will listen carefully and glean what I can...and post all info here - then perhaps get a rem.
Thanks anyway!! Much appreciated.
(thanks Barb, for your kind words)
Lisa

PS...that was my main worry too - getting to him before he submits to an operation (although I got the impression that it is too late !!) or major drugs!...anyhow, will keep my ears wide open...and see what transpires!

The main therapeutic remedy for this condition is Hydrastis. Why not read up on the remedy and see if it suits him.

Thanks Ricky - really appreciate that.

I don't know him well enough...only met him once, although John knows him a bit better - so could ask him...but I fear it would be in vain - as I don't think either of us know enough about him (personally, temperament, eating, preferences, etc.) to say if it would fit.

I will read it - and also, still keep my ears open to see what transpires.

Also, I wonder how many of you have gone through this...knowing that Homeopathy could cure (or at least help) someone - but have your hands tied! Frustration. My heart aches for him and I wish he would just tell us!!!! Then I could gently approach him about some form of treatment!

Thanks for the moral support and the information.
Lisa

Thanks so much. I remember Marie J telling me that (email) a while back - she said that this was a very good path to help people gain a basic understanding (or at least an introduction to) of Homeopathy.

I do plan to do this, when I'm finished with my course (I'm an ex-teacher and loved teaching!! was pretty good at it, if I can say so)...anyhow, I think this is a very good way to let people know about what is available.

I'm particularly interested in these chronic states - e.g. cancer, etc....but I'm just impatient - wanting to absorb all the knowledge and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.....

But I can say this: I'm so happy to have found my niché - how many people love their jobs? I know I will.

Thanks gain - for the words of encouragement.

I'm also very interested in your comments on Echinachea.....I used that prior to finding Homoepathy...for chronic flu's and it did seem to help - but only to a degree.....don't much else about it - other than I know that one is not supposed to take it over a prolonged period - as it can actually end up weakening the immune system.

Anyhow - thanks...
Lisa

The homeopath who saved my life always said that stomach cancers etc were the result of an inability to cope with the toxins from things like Aluminium Cooking Utensils
I am sure GM will scoff but I have seen numerous references to support this and of the people I know who suffered this ....discussions with their family revealed the long term use of Aluminium pans

Of course it may be possibloe to turn things around with the correct constitutional remedy ........the problem as Lisa points out is knowing enough about the person to find it

It is very difficult Lisa. I have come across a few frustrating situations. You can't force homeopathy on people but just show them and educate them by example.
There was the child who was hit in the eye with a cricket ball only the Father is a pharmacist who does not believe in homeopathy. I did offer!! Just think how much less trauma would have been involved if the kid had been given Arnica and symphytum. However I have a new patient this week who is very friendly with the family socially so I am hoping to do good things there that will be communicated.

I also know a 25 yr old going through Chemo + having stem cells removed to be replaced later and the hospital refuses to treat the patients if they also use complementary therapies. Can you believe this!! Apparently it is dangerous to have even echinacea tincture to build up the immune system. Maybe GM can explain why this is so as it defeats me.

Educating people to homeopathy is a way forward. Give talks, run first aid homeopathy courses and you will soon convert people.

PAT. stop that prejudice, i have personally stopped stomach cancer by using lycopodium, whos major compound is aluminium.
But that dont say you anything?
