“…Homeopathic medicine Apis mellifica 7C or 9C showed protective effect and an almost 50% restorative effect on X-ray-induced redness of the skin. 58 Also, postsurgical complication of cancer cases may be managed by homoeopathy. A study suggested that patients who underwent total mastectomy suffered from postoperative seroma and bleeding.…”

The north-eastern region of India accounts for a total of 37,448 cancer cases reported from 11 population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) from 2012 to 2014. Studies suggest that with the holistic approach adopted by homoeopathy, not only the symptoms like cancer pain are alleviated, but also the overall well-being of the patient. Homoeopathy can be beneficial to minimize the treatment-induced adverse effects like radiation-induced mucositis, skin reactions, postoperative seroma, bleeding, and complications associated with the use of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. This study intends to provide homoeopathic services as an add-on to conventional treatment to the patients referred for homoeopathic treatment after their due consent. The primary objective is to study the usefulness of homoeopathic medicines for combating the suffering of cancer patients having complaints other than cancer. A sample size of 70 patients per group in two arms (Arm A: standard allopathic drug and Arm B: standard allopathic drug + homoeopathic treatment) will be recruited using simple random sampling without repetition. Cancer patients reporting complaints other than cancer itself and suffering from the after-effects of cancer treatment with chemotherapy and radiation therapy to any reputed cancer institute will be screened and will be recruited according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. After completion of the six months study duration, results will be able to predict the role of homoeopathic treatment as an add-on to conventionally treated cancer patients to minimize the suffering other than cancer and the after-effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. If found significant, this could prove to be a contribution in the health care system in handling cancer cases that are very difficult to treat. Further, the cost-effectiveness of homoeopathy will enable developing countries to manage such a disease effectively.

Background and Objectives Every year just when monsoon starts retreating, we start seeing adverse meteorological conditions for dispersion. There are multiple factors that lead to higher pollution levels, including industrial and motor vehicle emissions, crop stubble burning and burning of fire crackers during Diwali period.The novel human coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has claimed more than 1,090, 921 lives worldwide, causing tremendous public health, social and economic damages. While the risk factors of COVID-19 are still under investigation, environmental factors, such as urban air pollution, may play an important role in increasing population susceptibility to COVID-19 pathogenesis. Long-term exposure to NO2, which largely arises from urban combustion sources such as traffic, may enhance susceptibility to severe COVID-19 outcomes, independent of long-term particulate matter 2.5 and O3 exposure. Prolonged exposure to this urban traffic-related air pollutant may be an important risk factor of severe COVID-19 outcomes.A survey was done in 2019 during the pre- and post-Diwali period to assess the increase in number of cases reported with various respiratory troubles. Methods A cross-sectional survey was done on patients coming with respiratory problems in the outpatient department of the hospital in year 2019 for 10 days prior to Diwali (Group 1) and 10 days after Diwali (Group 2). Patients presenting with respiratory ailments were figured out during this time period and this data was analysed. Results In Group 1, the number of respiratory complaints' patients was 238 (i.e. 7.9%) which raised to 378 (i.e. 11.9%) in Group 2 patients. Conclusion This study showed that there was a sharp rise in patients of upper respiratory tract infections reporting in the hospital (Group 2) and results of homoeopathic medicines in treating those complaints was encouraging.

“…19 Yet an additional experimental setting successfully demonstrated the protective and curative properties of Apis (7c and 9c) on x-ray-induced erythema in albino guinea pigs. 20,21 Homeopathic dilutions of cadmium and cisplatin applied to cultured kidney cells confer protection against these same substances when administered in pharmacological concentrations. 22 Furthermore, neuroprotective effects of ultra-low-dose glutamate in the context of glutamate-induced primary rat spinal, cortical, and cerebellar neuronal toxicity have also been reported.…”

The use of dietary supplements for various ailments enjoys unprecedented popularity. As part of this trend, Sabal serrulata (saw palmetto) constitutes the complementary treatment of choice with regard to prostate health. In homeopathy, Sabal serrulata is commonly prescribed for prostate problems ranging from benign prostatic hyperplasia to prostate cancer. The authors' work assessed the antiproliferative effects of homeopathic preparations of Sabal serrulata, Thuja occidentalis, and Conium maculatum, in vivo, on nude mouse xenografts, and in vitro, on PC-3 and DU-145 human prostate cancer as well as MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines. Treatment with Sabal serrulata in vitro resulted in a 33% decrease of PC-3 cell proliferation at 72 hours and a 23% reduction of DU-145 cell proliferation at 24 hours (P < < .01). The difference in reduction is likely due to the specific doubling time of each cell line. No effect was observed on MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Thuja occidentalis and Conium maculatum did not have any effect on human prostate cancer cell proliferation. In vivo, prostate tumor xenograft size was significantly reduced in Sabal serrulata-treated mice compared to untreated controls (P = = .012). No effect was observed on breast tumor growth. Our study clearly demonstrates a biologic response to homeopathic treatment as manifested by cell proliferation and tumor growth. This biologic effect was (i) significantly stronger to Sabal serrulata than to controls and (ii) specific to human prostate cancer. Sabal serrulata should thus be further investigated as a specific homeopathic remedy for prostate pathology.
