This past week, VHI taught a webinar on Advanced Strategies for Homeopathic Cases. I presented a case of a 6-year-old dog who had advanced cancer, and wanted to add homeopathy on to his chemotherapy treatment. While homeopathy works very well as a stand-alone therapy for chronic disease and conditions such as cancer, it can also be very effective alongside conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, and also with other integrative therapies such as TCM, acupuncture, chiropractic, and ozone therapy. I used to turn away patients that had already started chemotherapy because I felt that the drugs interfered with the homeopathic treatment, but experience has shown me that this is not true. Homeopathy is a powerful healing modality, and it can work even if there are strong drugs being used alongside it.
For the dog with cancer whose case I presented in the webinar, adding homeopathy to his cancer treatment improved his physical and emotional state, and gave him a very good quality of life. He lived longer than his vet thought he would, his appetite improved and his anxiety diminished, and he did not suffer at the end of his life - he even died in his sleep at home. These cases are sad when we cannot cure them, but even when there is advanced cancer, homeopathy helps by improving quality of life, easing pain, diminishing side effects of chemotherapy, and strengthening the vital force of the patient instead of suppressing it. Homeopathy respects the wisdom of the body, and where there is life, there is the potential for healing.
