About The Anti Cancer Effects From Various Homeopathic Remedies

• Anticancer – Gymnemma sylvestris
  The West Bengal group mentioned above, recently investigated ³⁵ an ethanolic extract of the homeopathic cancer drug Gymnema sylvestre (GS). The leaves of the plant have been used as a potent antidiabetic drug in various systems of alternative medicine, including homeopathy. The present study was aimed at examining if GS also had anticancer potentials, and if it had, to elucidate its possible mechanism of action.They first tested possible anticancer potential of GS on A375 cells (human skin melanoma) through MTT assay and determined cytotoxicity levels in A375 and normal liver cells. They then thoroughly studied its apoptotic effects on A375 cells through protocols such as Hoechst 33258, H2DCFDA, and rhodamine 123 staining and conducted ELISA for cytochrome c, caspase 3, and PARP activity levels. They determined the mRNA level expression of cytochrome c, caspase 3, Bcl2, Bax, PARP, ICAD, and EGFR signaling genes through semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and conducted Western blot analysis of caspase 3 and PARP. They also analyzed cell cycle events, determined reactive oxygen species accumulation, measured annexin V-FITC/PI and rhodamine 123 intensity by flow cytometry.They found that compared with both normal liver cells and drug-untreated A375, the mortality of GS-treated A375 cells increased in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, GS induced nuclear DNA fragmentation and showed an increased level of mRNA expression of apoptotic signal related genes cytochrome c, caspase 3, PARP, Bax, and reduced expression level of ICAD, EGFR, and the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl2. According to the researchers, these results indicate that Gymnemma sylvestris has significant anticancer effect on A375 cells apart from its reported antidiabetic effect, indicating the possibility of its palliative use in patients with symptoms of both diseases.
• Apotosis – Thuja
  The adverse side-effects associated with chemotherapy during cancer treatment have shifted considerable focus towards therapies that are targeted but devoid of toxic side-effects such as homeopathic drugs. In a new study ³⁴ researchers evaluated the antitumorigenic activity of the homeopathic cancer drug Thuja occidentalis, the bioactive derivative of the medicinal plant Thuja occidentalis, in order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying Thuja-induced apoptosis of functional p53-expressing mammary epithelial carcinoma cells. Their results showed that Thuja successfully induced apoptosis in functional p53-expressing mammary epithelial carcinoma cells. Abrogation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), prevention of p53-activation, knockdown of p53 or inhibition of its functional activity significantly abridged ROS generation.Notably, under these conditions, Thuja-induced breast cancer cell apoptosis was reduced, thereby validating the existence of an ROS-p53 feedback loop. Elucidating this feedback loop revealed bi-phasic ROS generation as a key mediator of Thuja-induced apoptosis. The first phase of ROS was instrumental in ensuring activation of p53 via p38MAPK and its nuclear translocation for transactivation of Bax, which induced a second phase of mitochondrial ROS to construct the ROS-p53 feedback loop. Such molecular crosstalk induced mitochondrial changes i) to maintain and amplify the Thuja signal in a positive self-regulatory feedback manner; and ii) to promote the mitochondrial death cascade through cytochrome c release and caspase-driven apoptosis. These results confirm its use in homeopathic breast cancer treatment was appropriate, since Thuja occidentalis modulated the redox status of functional p53-expressing mammary epithelial carcinoma cells.
• Apoptosis – Sulphur
  Scientists investigated ³² the well-known homeopathic constitutional cancer drug Sulphur for its anticancer effects, in order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying sulphur-induced apoptosis in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells. Sulphur treatment inhibited otherwise upregulated survival signaling in NSCLC cells by perturbing the nuclear translocation of p65NFκB, its association with p300 histone acetylase, and subsequent transcription of Bcl-2. Under such anti-survival conditions, induction of p53-p300 cross-talk enhanced the transcriptional activity of p53 and intrinsic mitochondrial death cascade. The findings of this preclinical study clearly delineated the molecular mechanism underlying the apoptogenic effect of the non-toxic homeopathic remedy, Sulphur, in NSCLC cells.
• Cytotoxicity – Condurango
  Homeopaths often used Condurango or Cundurango (Gonolobus cundurango Trian.) extract for the treatment of cancer. Cundurango bark extract is known to reduce tumor volume, but the underlying molecular mechanisms still remain unclear. Indian researchers, using a cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) as their model, investigated ³⁰ the molecular events behind Cundurango extract’s (CE’s) anticancer effect using flow cytometry, immunoblotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Others included prostate cancer cells (PC3), transformed liver cells (WRL-68), and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).The scientists found Cundurango extract (CE) to be cytotoxic against target cells, and this effect was significantly deactivated in the presence of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), suggesting that its action could be mediated through ROS generation. CE caused an increase in the HeLa cell population containing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage at the G zero/Growth 1 (G0/G1) stage. Further, CE increased the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and the fas receptor (FasR) levels both at the ribonucleic acid (RNA) and the protein levels, indicating that CE might have a cytotoxic mechanism of action. CE also triggered a sharp decrease in the expression of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB ) both at the RNA and the protein levels, a possible route to attenuation of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and caused an opening of the mitochondrial membrane’s permeability transition (MPT) pores, thus enhancing caspase activities. The results suggest possible pathways for Cundurango extract mediated cytotoxicity in model cancer cells, according to the researchers.
• Cytotoxicity – Conium
  An in vitro study ³³ for the first time investigated the anticancer potential of the common homeopathic cancer drug Conium maculatum against cervical cancer, by examining whether and ethanolic extract of Conium is capable of inducing cytotoxicity in different normal and cancer cell lines including an elaborate study in HeLa cells. Conium’s effects on cell cycle, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis, if any, were analyzed through flow cytometry. Whether Conium could damage DNA and induce morphological changes were also determined microscopically. Expression of different proteins related to cell death and survival was critically studied by western blotting and ELISA methods. If Conium could interact directly with DNA was also determined by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
  
  Conium treatment reduced cell viability and colony formation at 48 h and inhibited cell proliferation, arresting cell cycle at sub-G stage. Conium treatment leads to increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at 24 h, increase in MMP depolarization, morphological changes and DNA damage in HeLa cells along with externalization of phosphatidyl serine at 48 hours. While cytochrome c release and caspase-3 activation led HeLa cells toward apoptosis, down-regulation of Akt and NFkB inhibited cellular proliferation, indicating the signaling pathway to be mediated via the mitochondria-mediated caspase-3-dependent pathway. CD-spectroscopy revealed that Conium interacted with DNA molecule. The result of the study confirmed the homeopathic use of the drug in cancer therapy.
• Gene Modulation – Resveratrol
  Another homeopathic cancer drug, Resveratrol, was studied ²⁸ and found to modulate genes using a genome-wide analysis of gene expression in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Transcriptional profiling indicated that 375 genes were modulated at 24 h after Resveratrol intervention, whereas 579 genes were regulated at 48 h. Resveratrol downregulated AURKA and PLK1 kinases at 24 h. In addition it upregulated the BRCA1 gene, an AURKA/PLK1 inhibitor, at 24 h of treatment. Two well-known resveratrol effectors, cyclin D1 (CCND1) and cyclin B1 (CCNB1), were repressed at both times. “Congruently, we found that Resveratrol impaired G1/S phase transition in both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. By western blot assays, we confirmed that Resveratrol suppressed AURKA, CCND1 and CCNB1 at 24 and 48 h. In summary, we showed for the first time that Resveratrol regulates cell cycle progression by targeting AURKA and PLK1. Our findings highlight the potential use of Resveratrol as an adjuvant therapy for breast cancer.”
• Cytotoxicity – Propolis
  In one recent study ²⁷ researchers evaluated the chemical composition, anti-proliferative and proapoptotic activity, and the effect of various fractions of Lebanese propolis, a homeopathic common cancer drug, on the cell cycle distribution on Jurkat leukemic T-cells, glioblastoma U251 cells, and breast adenocarcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells using cytotoxic assays, flow cytometry as well as western blot analysis. This research confirmed, that Propolis exhibited significant cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative activity promising enough that warrant further investigations on the molecular targets and mechanisms of action of Propolis.
• Glioblastoma – Thuja
  The most aggressive type of brain tumor is glioblastoma multiforme, which to date remains incurable. One of several homeopathic medicines that showed some promising clinical effects on this cancer type is Thuja occidentalis, another drug used in homeopathy for the treatment of cancer, however, its mechanism of action remains unknown. To better understand its action, researchers ²⁹ set out to study the effects of thujone fractions of Thuja on glioblastoma cells using in vitro and in vivo models. They found that the α/ β-thujone fraction decreases the cell viability and exhibits potent anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic and anti-angiogenic effects in vitro. In vivo assays showed that α/β-thujone promotes the regression of neoplasia and inhibits the angiogenic markers VEGF, Ang-4 and CD31 into the tumor.
• Inhibited DNA Synthesis of Hepatoma HepG2 Cells
  The medicinal plants Aristolochia clematitis L. and Asarum europaeum L., both representatives of the plant family Aristolochiaceae, listed in the German and the U.S. Homeopathic Pharmacopeia, contain aristolochic acid. A group of researchers found³⁷ that the mother tinctures of A. clematitis and A. europaeum inhibited DNA synthesis in human hepatoma HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. One of the components of the plant extract, aristolochic acid I (AAI), is linked to the development of nephropathy and urothelial cancer in humans. Therefore, the researchers also evaluated the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of AAI in HepG2 cells.
  The results showed that cell proliferation was inhibited concentration-dependently by AAI using BrdU-ELISA and colony forming assay. AAI formed DNA adducts (measured by (32)P-postlabeling), induced chromosomal aberrations (micronuclei) and DNA strand breaks. DNA damage induced by AAI led to an arrest of cells in the S-phase which was associated with the increased expression of p53 and p21 proteins, confirming the potential use of A. clematis and A. europaeum in kidney cancer.
• Precipitated Silver Nanoparticles – Phytolacca decandra
  Researchers examined³⁸ whether the homeopathic mother tincture and proven cancer drug Phytolacca decandra is capable of precipitating silver nanoparticles from silver nitrate (AgNO(3)) and to characterize the biosynthesized nanoparticles for evaluating their biological activities.They added total of 100 mg of AgNO(3) to 20mL of Milli-Q water and stirred vigorously. Then they added 5mL of the homeopathic mother tincture of Phytolacca decandra (ethanolic root extract of Phytolacca decandra) and stirred continuously. Reduction took place rapidly at 300K and completed in 10 min as shown by stable light greenish-yellow color of the solution which gave colloid of silver nanoparticles. They then centrifuged the colloid solution at 5000×g to separate the nanoparticles for further use. They characterized the nanoparticles by spectroscopic analysis, particle size analysis and zeta potential measurements, and analyzed morphology by atomic force microscopy. They determined drug-DNA interaction by circular dichroism spectrophotometry and melting temperature profiles by using calf thymus DNA as the target. They determined biological activities using a cancer cell line A549 in vitro and using bacteria Escherichia coli and fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae as test models.
  
  Phytolacca decandra precipitated silver nanoparticles in ambient conditions. The nanoparticles had 91 nm particle size, with polydispersity index of 0.119 and zeta potential of -15.6 mV. The silver nanoparticles showed anticancer and antibacterial properties, but no clear antifungal properties. The researchers concluded that the results could be a novel environment-friendly method to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles using a cost-effective, nontoxic manner, and that the homeopathic mother tincture may utilize this property of nano-precipitation in curing diseases or disease symptoms.
• Skin Melanoma – Phytolacca
  Preventive measures against skin melanoma like chemotherapy are useful but suffer from chronic side effects and drug resistance. The same group tested³⁶ an ethanolic extract of Phytolacca decandra (PD), used in homeopathy for the treatment of cancer and various ailments like chronic rheumatism, regular conjunctivitis, psoriasis, and in some skin diseases, for its possible anticancer effects.They tested for cytotoxicity of the drug by conducting 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay on both normal (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and A375 cells. They conducted fluorescence microscopic study of 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride-stained cells for DNA fragmentation assay, and also recorded changes in cellular morphology, if any. They tested actate dehydrogenase activity assay to evaluate the percentages of apoptosis and necrosis. They evaluated reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, if any, studied expression of apoptotic genes to pin-point the actual events of apoptosis.Their results showed that administration of Phytolacca decandra caused a remarkable reduction in proliferation of A375 cells, without showing much cytotoxicity on peripheral blood mononuclear cells. They found generation of ROS and DNA damage, which made the cancer cells prone to apoptosis, to be enhanced in PD-treated cells. These results were duly supported by the analytical data on expression of different cellular and nuclear proteins, as for example, by down-regulation of Akt and Bcl-2, up-regulation of p53, Bax and caspase 3, and an increase in number of cell deaths by apoptosis in A375 cells. The researchers concluded that their results demonstrate anticancer potentials of PD on A375 cells through activation of caspase-mediated signaling and ROS generation.
• Tea for Lung Cancer
  Tea or Camellia sinensis is a popular beverage and has been widely praised for its anticancer effects. This is because researchers have isolated (-)-epigallocatechins-3-gallate (EGCG), the main constituent in green tea leaves, and have demonstrated antitumor effects; although the exact mechanism by which this occurs remained unknown. Not surprisingly, tea has also been used by some as a cancer drug in homeopathy, under the name Thea chinensis. In a recent study, researchers found ³¹ that tea may be effective in the treatment of lung cancer by a threefold mechanism. Hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) expression was suppressed by EGCG treatment in three different ways: (1) downregulation of HDGF by EGCG was confirmed using anti-HDGF antibodies in three lung cancer cell lines. EGCG treatment and HDGF abrogation by RNA interference resulted in a decreased migration of A549 cells. (2) EGCG induced a marked synergistic effect with cisplatin in cell death. (3) Enhanced cytotoxicity in HDGF-silenced cells was found. Cell death was associated to increased apoptosis, disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. The researchers concluded that abrogation of HDGF by EGCG enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis and sensitize A549 cells to chemotherapy. They proposed that decreasing the HDGF levels by using EGCG from Thea chinensis may represent a novel strategy in lung cancer therapy.

Key Steps In Treating and Surviving Breast Cancer
These are key steps that we recommend for a person diagnosed with breast cancer:

• Spiritual Support
  A spiritual practice is very important in times of chronic disease.  This means spiritual music, prayer, meditation, yoga, friends, reduced stress, faith, breathing – being in nature, bringing joy up into the person’s life. It means reducing stress and grief by looking with gratitude and all the blessings a person has, feeling alive, not frightened of the diagnosis which is hundred percent curable!  We can only feel one emotion at one time. When we’re scared every cell of the body is scared. When we feel joy every cell of  the body feels joy –  more anxious or sad every cell of the body feels that. So the more we can we can do that, the better we will heal.
• Homeopathy Is Essential
  Homeopathic remedy support-essential. Homeopathy works on the mental spiritual as well as the physical plane. The disturbance that caused the stress was the beginning of the cancer and your friend’s body issue really began in the mind. Emotional triggers will have occurred prior to cancer forming.  There has to be some grief, a mortification, a fear, a fright, some form of shock – something that “happened”.  It could’ve happened dozens of years ago or longer – or in the past 2 to 3 years. It would’ve been a period of prolonged stress on her. Resulting in a prolonged high level of cortisol –  the stress hormone. The remedy used in Homeopathy has to match the essence of that event in order to permanently pull down the cortisol. This is how Homeopathy heals. Because it supports the body detox functions by turning off the stress hormone using remedy that matches the nature of that stress, and the body begins to heal and balance itself. If people choose to remain with stressful situations or around  stressful attitudes, they don’t sleep at the right time, they don’t exercise, they don’t drink enough water, they don’t eat healthy foods, then they are contributing to the same issues that make them not ABLE to recover.
• Hydrate your body to reduce toxicity and keep stools moving through the colon.
  Drink half your weight in water as ounces, per day.  That is your daily minimum.
• Eat 1/2 tsp of sea salt daily, every day.
  Learn more about the benefits of salt here.
• Sunlight and Vitamin D
  Supplement with a minimum 5,000 IU’s of Vitamin D per day if you can’t get sun every day.  If you can, get a minimum of 30 minutes sun light, no sunscreen, no sunglasses on between 10 AM and 2 PM every day. Read this book “Heal Yourself With Sunlight” by Andreas Mortiz.
• Sleep at the right time!
  Go to bed by 10 PM every single night. The liver detox channel works from 10 PM to 2 AM. For every hour that you’re not sleeping after 10 PM, you lose 40% of your liver detox function!
• Avoid  Dairy
• Don’t eat any dairy for the first 120 days. Then keep very it low, if any. Dairy is mucus. Mucus loves to wrap and hold bacteria and other toxins throughout the body. Most dairy is also filled with hormones and antibiotics unless it is organic.
• Avoid Eating Red Meat
  Don’t eat any meat protein for the first 120 days. Then keep very it low, if any.  We only digest just 20% of the protein that we eat, this means the rest of it rots in the gut causing inflammation and toxicity in the body because it can’t be fully digested. We don’t make enough hydrochloric acid in the stomach to digest more than 20% of it. In a toxic state, bodies are filled with acids. That’s what toxicity is, acids, toxins, that cause inflammation globally, requiring tumors to form to hold them – as the body can’t get rid of them!
• Eat Living, Organic, Unprocessed Foods
  Eat living foods, especially fruit. Fruit is high alkaline, it is a detox food, and changes the body to an alkaline state. Living foods are quick sources of energy that allow the body energy to detox.
• Exercise Daily To Move Your Lymph
  Exercise every day gently for at least two sessions of half an hour morning and afternoon. The lymph system is what holds the toxins, 80% of the fluid in the body is lymph. We have 100,000 lymph nodes. When you have cancer, all of them are working on removing toxins. In order to move the lymph you have to move the body! Lymph is a low flow, slow cleansing fluid that can only be moved by contraction of the muscles or the skeleton. No exercise, no movement of lymph. In terms of toxins, remember this, “you’ve got to move it to lose it”.  Body massage is also important, along with yoga, walks in nature, things that calm your mind, move your body and inspire your spirit.
• Reduce Your Fear
  The minute you get a diagnosis, the doctor scare the heck out of you!!!! The fright creates more advancement of the cancerous tumor, because it is the ***CHRONIC STRESS**** in the first place that raised the cortisol, which lowers the oxygen to all cells. Resulting in the body needing to come to the aid with cells that did not require oxygen – cancer cells – and cancer cells need 15 times more sugar than any other so, which is why people crave sweets and sugars in times of stress. At the same time, the increasing cortisol, from stress, results in less bile available to digest food. That means inflammation in the colon from undigested food in the body and the lymph having to wrap and hold those toxins – while inflammation goes throughout the body via lymph, and forms tiny then larger tumors to contain those toxins…until the stress is stopped.
• Do A Series Liver Flushes
  The liver flush-absolutely essential. This needs to be started as soon as possible. By dumping the toxic liver gallstones into the toilet, the person will produce more bile, they’ll have more energy, and they will have removed a huge burden of toxicity right there and flushed it away. Literally! Liver flashes proceed once per month until the liver is perfectly clean. This takes at least six months sometimes a year at one per month. When your liver is clean it’s impossible to have cancer anywhere, well the liver is getting healthier and stronger, the lymph system is also cooperating and the tumors are dissolving.
• Trust in Your Own Body’s Healing
  Cancer patients have a 40% chance of survival if they do nothing allopathic or with western medicine.  A million people a year die from cancer “treatments”. There is only a 1 to 2% chance of survival if you do something that western medical doctor suggest, and the only legal suggestions you have in that area are chemo, radiation or surgery.  Not very good odds. All will weaken the immune system and addfurther toxins to an already overburdened body.
