This protocol is provided courtesy of the International Homeopathic Society of Supportive Care in Oncology. Additional remedies are provided by Dr. J.L. Bagot, a member of the consortium who developed the protocols, and professor, oncologist and homeopath at University Hospitals, Liberal Oncology Clinic at Sainte-Anne’s Hospital, and All Saints Hospital in Strasbourg, France. For more details on supportive remedies for other side effects of cancer treatment, specific cancer drugs, pain after surgery, psychological problems, weakened immune system, etcetera, see Dr. Bagot’s book.*
Note:
- Homeopathy is not a treatment for cancer. It is solely to support patients with unpleasant side effects of treatment.
- The remedies below may be given in addition to the medicine your oncologist prescribes. Do not stop the medicine, nutritional or exercise regimen your doctor prescribes.
- If your mouth ulcers or mucositis or other side effects are more than you were told to expect, your doctor should be advised.
- Please work with a professional homeopath to meet your cancer support needs. You can find one HERE.
