Colocynthis, Loxosceles reclusa and Patient-made Isodes in Cancer
digging character. The pinching pains and the sensation
as if the bowels were squeezed between stones were felt
particularly in intestinal colic. Hahnemann noted the
long-lasting action of the remedy. The proving symptoms
here consulted and augmented from the first edition, were
published in 1827 in the sixth volume, second edition of his
work
Reine Arzneimittellehre
(
Materia Medica Pura)
11
and
were augmented again later.

Theory and practice allow us to conclude that
homeopathic
Colocynthis
affects both malignant and
benign overgrowths (also cysts) and that it has applicability
in cancer, similar to a nosode. Though having distinct
indications as remedies, nosodes can be used in different
patients for the pertinent, specific disease.
Traditional medicine and modern scientific research
attest to the anti-cancer properties of
C. colocynthis.
When four plants, indigenous to Morocco and used as
cancer treatment in the country’s traditional medicine,
were tested
in vitro
for anticancer activity,
C. colocynthis
showed the most promise as an allopathic anticancer drug
(over
Piper cubeba,
Aristolochia longa
and
Delphinium
staphisagria
)
.
It triggered a significant and dose-dependent
inhibitory activity against cancer cell lines from mammary
adenocarcinoma and colon carcinoma and was also
inhibitory in the three other cell models tested. The four
plants prior to testing had been washed, dried, crushed and
macerated; filtration had eliminated non-soluble particles.

Patient-made Isodes
In the treatment of overgrowths, patient-made isodes
can play an important role. It has been proposed that
isodes prepared from blood treat cancers of the blood and
prevent metastases via the blood stream in malignancy.
4
They have treated cancer of the bone marrow (case 3) and
been recommended by the author in a case of leukemia.
Discharges can be potentized (e.g. the urine in cancer
affecting the urinary tract).
Patient-made isodes treat infections of the blood.
Along with instructions for preparation, they were first
presented in 1994, after beneficial results were obtained in
two patients infected with the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV).
13
A mother and child with borreliosis were
helped (author’s cases). They have been recommended
for treatment of Ebola hemorrhagic fever
14
and, in forensic
medicine, for a case of ehrlichiosis (a usually tick-borne
illness caused by bacterial pathogens, genera
Ehrlichia
and
Anaplasma
, which parasitize leukocytes).
15
They can
be used in coagulopathy or in any abnormal changes or
conditions of the blood.
The isodes are easily prepared according to the following
instructions, adapted from the initial publication.
13
Instead
of the originally-recommended dilution in water and
alcohol, only water (spring or tap) is used (as in case 3).
The patient’s own fluids or discharges are serially diluted
in water and succussed. Skin flakes, as in psoriasis, can
be potentized, but the first dilution is allowed to stand for
a day.
Instructions for Making Isodes
This method uses the simple homeopathic potentization
method according to Korsakoff. It is further simplified by
the use of only water; alcohol is not necessary. The body’s
immunity is raised by the use of an “isode” and important
physiological changes can occur.
You need: a 1 ounce (30ml) glass bottle with a closure;
a dropper; tap or spring water; two drops of bodily fluid.
Preparation: Carefully put two freshly gained drops of
bodily fluid into the 1 ounce (30 ml) bottle; avoid contami-
nating the bottle’s opening. Add about 10 ml of water so
that a third of the bottle is filled. Pound the closed bottle
ten times firmly on a phone book or other pliable surface
(process of succussion).
Pour out all contents of the bottle (in the toilet or sink)
and quickly clean/sterilize the area, but leave the remaining
drops of the fluid in the bottle. The drops are adhering to
the inner wall of the bottle. Thus, do not clean the bottle.
(I assume that about two drops are remaining inside the
bottle.)
Fill the bottle again with the same amount of water so
that a third of the bottle is filled.
Pound the bottle again ten times on the phone book. You
have now gained the 2c potency. Pour the contents in the
toilet or sink and clean the area. Again, do not clean or
rinse the bottle but refill to one third of its size with water.
Pound again ten times on the phone book (3c potency)
and repeat the procedure twenty-seven times to the 30c po-
tency. If you are not weary, work up to the 200c potency,
which is very effective.
Dosing: With the dropper, reach into the bottle with the
desired potency and take one drop of either the 30c or 200c
potency only once (under the tongue). Discard all fluid
from bottle and sterilize the bottle, closure of the bottle,
and dropper in boiling water.
Repeat the entire procedure once a month for the 200c
potency, twice a month for the 30c potency.
Bach Flower Remedies
Medicinally activated with heat-potentization in water
(by sunlight or boiling), Bach flower remedies complement
homeopathic treatment and are to be given in parallel to
homeopathic remedies in the treatment of overgrowths.
They prevent homeopathic aggravations and accelerate the
process of cure.
4
Overgrowths need repeated homeopathic
dosing, hence the need for the prevention of aggravations
or the development of proving symptoms. Bach flower
remedies also protect the vital force from the side effects of
allopathic cancer treatment.
The Bach flower combination
Rescue Remedy
or case-
specific Bach flowers are taken, preferably throughout the
entire treatment period.
Rescue Remedy,
yielding a syner-
gistic effect, contains five Bach flowers, namely Impatiens
(tension), Star of Bethlehem (grief), Clematis (fainting),
