Cancer

Cancer is a by-product of the growth and repair processes within the human body whereby 500 billion new cells are formed each day. Inevitably, some of these cells are defective, and their growth may become out of control. Defective cells are usually destroyed by the body’s immune system, but if this does not occur, a rapidly dividing colony of defective cells becomes a tumor. This tumor may grow and spread into adjacent body tissue. Cancer may affect major organs, bones, glands, skin, or muscles. The symptoms vary from site to site.

 

Symptoms

• Lumps or changes in the color or other features of the skin.

• Symptoms of obstruction in the digestive tract, or hoarseness.

• Bleeding from orifices such as the mouth or anus.

• Severe, recurrent, or constant headaches.

• Ulcers or sores that do not heal.

• Changes in bowel habits.

• Changes in the breasts.

• Painful, numb, or tingling nerves.

• Rapid, unexplained weight loss.

Homeopathy, on the other hand, attempts to address the underlying causes. As with other chronic ailments, this takes the form of constitutional assessment. Of
particular interest is the psychological makeup
