Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy the normal body tissue. Cancer often has the ability to spread throughout the body.
We have an immune system, which maintains the immunity in the body. This immune system also controls the cell growth. The cells multiply in a controlled manner from one to two, two to four, four to eight accordingly. The white blood cells act as the policeman i.e. immunity. Presence of any extra cell that is bigger in size is engulfed by these WBCs and thrown out of the body through excretions. This is called as phagocytosis. This is the normal phenomenon of the immunity. When afflicted with cancer, due to unexpected reasons this immune system fails, it is unable to make out which cell is to be thrown and attacked as a result of which the extra bigger cells continue to multiply at an abnormal rate.

Homeopathic Treatment & medicines have a very important role to improve the immunity of the patient.
The conventional mode of treatment can help control the cancer with chemotherapy, radiations and surgery but it does not have any medicine to improve the immunity of the patient. Homeopathy is the only science that can increase the immunity of the patient as it works on the psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrinological disturbance of the body and with the help of homeopathic medicines we rectify it. The psycho aspect deals with the mind, neuro with the nerves, immuno is the resistance power and endocrinology is the hormone.
In homeopathy we take the case in detail and look in to the finer aspects to find out the trigger factor in the patient considering him as a whole, mind and body together.

It is very difficult to establish a precise cause-effect relationship in most cases. Different types of cancer can be caused by various factors. Most of the cancers are related to genetic influences, environmental issues (exposure to viruses, bacteria, pollution etc.), lifestyle disorders (obesity, lack of exercise, improper or faulty dietary habits) and habit addictions (tobacco chewers and smokers, excessive consumption of alcohol).
Stress due to various causes like unresolved issues, continued grief, emotional disturbances in relation to the above causes is one of the major factors responsible for an increase in the number of cancer cases seen today world wide.
The name cancer creates a phobia in everyone’ mind, but in fact cancer is treated just like any other disease. There is a healer within, we give the medicine and the healer within is stimulated and that itself attacks the virus, bacteria and the unwanted cells the body, which helps the body heal itself by improving the resistance power. Homeopathy works in this way.
