Hi, my back has been itching a lot, found a small lump less than an inch in area of my left shoulder blade. Had it removed and test results are non/hodgkins lymphoma, which is supposed to be a slow process. Of course Iam not planning on any chemo/radiation. At age 87 not going for catskans either with the chemicals one has to take with them. Has anyone any suggestions regarding a homeopathic remedy to slow it down and build up immune system. Carcinoison, or something sounding like it was suggested, I cant find anything in Boerkes M/M, or any of my books. Has anyone had any experience with it. Any thoughts would be appreciated so I can go further in my future plans. We all go from some ailment, have no problem with death, just want to make an easier routine for my self, since I live alone and family in other states. If you care to write direct, I am at dege1@juno.com.

Dorothy,

I have the book of Dr. AUR (A.U. Ramakrishnan, www.drramakrishnan.com ), one of the best known authorities on treating cancer with homeopathy. If you want, I can send you the related section of the book and from there on you can decide what to do.

Secondly, based on personal experience, I can provide some guidelines too which you may cross check with any authority.

Thirdly, Ricky attends Dr. AUR lectures regularly, maybe she can help you even better.

Do let me know and I will be glad to help. I can keep the correspondance private if you intend. Just let me know.

Regards.

Dorothy, carcinosin is a great remedy but it must fit the case to be of any use to you. Also, it is often noted in materia medicas that carcinosin is not much use if actual cancer is present. That may or may not be true in every case, but, bottom line is that it has to fit the case. One doesn't choose a "cancer" nosode just because one is diagnosed with cancer. That is not homeopathy but something proven to be little more than guesswork, isopathy.

If you're really interested in homeoapthic treatment, you should seek out a qualified homeopath. Dr. Ramakrishnan states very clearly in his book that he isn't writing so that people can "self-prescribe". He is writing so that skilled, qualified, and experienced homeopaths who take a full case and engage in full case management with each patient can use some of his methods to the benefit of their patients. He is very clear about that important aspect: the ongoing casetaking and casemanagement of a qualified and experienced practitioner. Please keep in mind, too, that Dr. Ramakrishnan's methods may not be applicable to your situation: he has done some wonderful work in the treatment of cancer, a disease homeopaths are not allowed to treat in most cases (except, if the homeopath also treats animals, where it proves to be very easy to treat homeopathically). His work gives a lot of homeopaths some idea about what to expect while treating patients who've also undergone conventional care options: but it is by no means the only method. In many cases, quite possibly as in your own, the classical, one remedy at a time, minimum dose method, works the best. But seek out the care of a qualified homeopath.

I hope you take the time to seek out this kind of care for yourself: there is no reason to shortchange yourself with crazy attempts at isopathy and do-it-yourself care.

Firstly your cancer is going to be so slow growing at your age that you will quite possbly die from something else and I think you have made a very sensible descision to stay away from the debilitating chemo/radio therapies!!

If you lived near me I would treat you using Dr R's protocol but you know me -I don't like doing chronic paper cases.

Dr R can be reached at http://www.drramakrishnan.com/

He may be near your part of the world to do a course - or have someone he could recommend to you.

All the best and don't you worry too much about it. Get on with your very active life

Thank you very much for your response to me newest problem. I would very much appreciate Dr. Aur info regarding my problem. If you like you can send attachment to my e-mail dege1@juno.com. which is easier for me as I dont have to go on web for my e-mail but do to get back to the board, and my web time is limited to certain hours.

Want to thank you all for your information. Tried pulling Dr. Au website but couldnt reach same.I am still very energetic, going to do some ballroom dancing tomorrow at a Jass session 5-pm. Have a feeling its the H'Plyori that Ive been having the past 6 months that has weakened my immune system. Did a lot with homeopathy on H'Plyori but last stool test was still n/g, taking another test this week as Ive been pushing 4 tabs a day of Mastic Gum, a herb which is supposed to do the trick. time will tell. Dont worry ladies, I am not down, just making more decisions in home, family,not because of this illness, just common sense due to my age. We are all on the merry go round of Life and then when we get the Gold ring, we just spin off to the merry go round of Heaven. I believe in living with dignity and dying with dignity.Thanks and God Bless

Let me get the relevant pages scanned and then will mail them quickly.
Best wishes.
