My 66 yr old husband just had a malignant GBM tumor removed. Treatment will be a combination of radiation and/or chemotherapy for the next 6-8 weeks. Can homeopathy help in any way? He has been very oriented to allopathic medicine in the past but may be open to homeopathy now. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

It can help in the prevention of side effects from the chemo/radiotherapy. Constitutional treatment may prevent a reoccurrance. Please find a local professional classical homeopath to take his case and keep an eye on him. All the best.

Ricky, thanks for your reply. Are you saying the correct constitutional could possibly prevent a recurrance? As I understand this particular tumor, it has "tenticles" that have moved into other parts of the brain. The main tumor mass has been removed, but the cancer continues to grow in these other areas, and that's why these types of tumors are eventually fatal. Is there documentation of the correct constitutional actually preventing the recurrance of cancer in these other areas? If I could provide him and the rest of our family-all of them skeptical about homeopathy, et all-with some convincing documentation, there is a chance he would see a homeopathic physician. He is moving here to Portland OR where most of the family is to start radiation and chemo. Will Taylor practices here at National College of Naturopathic Medicine; he could see him. Do you know how I could get some documentation of this-as to help with side effects of chemo, radiation and/or prevention of recurrance? This could be amazing news and could give us some hope.

Dear Ceross,
I do not intend to answer for Ricky concerning constitutional treatment but would like to express my sorrow and extend good wishes to your husband. I was going to suggest Will Taylor and am happy to see you mention his name. I think there would be no one better qualified to see in the US. Best of luck.

Dear GPM,

I am reassured and gracious for your confirmation of Will Taylor. Our entire family is in chaos; each reacting in a way that is familiar to them. Any documentation I can access that supports homeopathy will be so valuable now, as so much import is coming from so many sources. I do not hope for miracles-I only hope for the gracious outliving of my husbands life; whatever that may be, and that each family member can accept it. Thank you in advance for any information or support you or anyone else can provide.

Constitutional treatment means being given a remedy for the individual rather than the disease. I envy you living near someone as well thought of as Will.

The other person you may wish to look into for your dad is Dr Ramakrishnan as I was very impressed with him and the results he appeared to be getting with cancer at a seminar Hoppit and I attended this year. Check out the website. I do believe he is expensive - at least for the UK!!

Ricky,

I checked out Dr Ramanankrisha's site-and he mentioned glio tumors. How can I find out more about the seminar you attended, and his research; I didn't notice anyting on his website on how to access his presentations, etc.

I know National College of Naturpathic Med and Oregon Health Science University-where my husband has been referred-are already cooperating in some research. If he agrees to pursue homeopathy, perhaps there is hope of collaborating there with the docs and also with Will Taylor contacting Dr ramanskrishna. Forgive my spelling, el all. I am exhausted. and now job hunting, as my entire finacial picture has jolted. imagine doing computer tests at a temp agency when one is half-crazed. I have to pace myself. thanks so much for all your help. I hope my husband is open to alternative care---if not now, .......when?
thanks for all your support and advice.

Treating such ailment under homeopathic shelter is very risky. Haven't seen cure by homeopathy in such condition.

Dear Ceross.

I believe Will Taylor is in a position to be able to guide you as to the possibilities of homeopathic treatment for your husband. He is also in the position of having access to almost any homeopath for communication regarding a case should he feel it needed. I wouldn't hesitate to place full faith and trust in him.

I have a 47 y/o daughter who has been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiform during the summer of 04. She has had two resections of the left frontal lobe of her brain for tumor removal. She has had radiation, a proceedure by Dr. Luther W. Brady, MCP Hahnemann University School of medicine, Dept of Radiation Oncology,Philadelphia,Pa. 215 762 8419 known as radioiodinated (I-125) monoclonal antibody 425 ( this treatment is for high grade glioma patients) and has been recently approved by the FDA. She is currently on chemo (temodar) and has been on this for approx. 7 mos. Her most recent MRI disclosed no regrowth of the tumor to date. I know of another person who has inoperative glioblastoma multiform who was given 12 mos., however, has had the same proceedure during several visits to Phila. and has now approx. 25mos. of productive life behind her.
Recently I have been informed that taking Ruta-6 with calcium phosphate also helps destroy tumor cells but I am not certain it helps without other treatments.
If anyone out there is knowledgable about Ruta-6 with Calcium phosphate I would like to hear from them.
