A case of Breast Cancer detected in 2007.Operated at a leading hospital in Mumbai. Her histopathology report showed metastatic infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast stage III. As per protocols she was advised chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy. But her post-surgical wound failed to heal which delayed the entire process of conventional treatment. She consulted me for post-surgical wound care. Surprisingly the wound healed very well within 15 days post she decided to take all her cancer treatment under me and refused to undergo further conventional
treatments. Even though we do not encourage patients to stop any form of ongoing treatments. She refused and our journey using Mistletoe injections and Homeopathy to prevent recurrence and help built the immune system worked out for her. A routine follow-up was closely maintained for 5 years with her surgical oncologists and us and today we complete 15 years of survival as compared to a 4- or 5-year survival rate in a stage III Breast cancer. Currently she is enjoying a disease free and a good quality of life.
MRS KTBBREAST CANCER
65 years old woman was detected with Colon cancer in 2016, the cancer seemed to create an obstruction in the intestinal passage for which she was operated and a colostomy bypass was created in the colon. Her post-surgical reports stated an Adenocarcinoma of colon stage 3. Conventionally she was administered chemotherapy post which she developed severe complication leading to cardiac arrest. She had barely made it out of surgery and there she was in the cardiac ICU the competent team of the hospital got her out of the critical stage and stabilized her vital organs especially her heart. BUT there was a huge dilemma whether to give her chemotherapy. A joint call between her relatives and oncologists was taken not to give her any further chemotherapy. With her current stage of the disease her expected survival with this kind of cancer was maximum 3years.In her case high dose mistletoe therapy along with cancer specific Homeopathic medicines seemed to work a way out for her. Post Homeopathy and Mistletoe therapy there was an improvement in overall quality of life, she could do her routine daily work with no discomfort at all. She has remained disease related symptom free all through out. A routine follow-up of her physical and investigation profile was maintained all through out. Her tumour markers were within limits and all follow-up PET scans revealed no disease recurrence on the operated site neither any metastasis. Today she completes more than 6 years of survival with a disease free and an excellent quality of life.
Mrs J D.COLON CANCER
VSTA woman of 75 years had consulted be in 2016 with a PET scan report showing multiple lymph nodes with biopsy confirmed Adenocarcinoma of Lung. With her age of 75 years and comorbidities of uncontrolled blood pressure, hypothyroidism, obesity the patient was not willing to undergo any conventional treatment and resorted to mere palliative symptom management under my care. One of her primary complaints was disturbing cough. We started with Homeopathic medicines and Mistletoe therapy – Iscador as part of her palliative treatment plan. Surprisingly in a span of 30 days she had good relief in her cough and her overall quality of life.3 months later her CT scan chest showed improvement in her Lung shadows and stable disease. A PET scan done post one year of Homeopathy and Mistletoe treatment showed a stable disease and no spread of disease anywhere in the body. In 2018, 2 years later she did develop cough and a PET scan evaluation showed increase in the lung nodules, an intensified Mistletoe treatment and target specific homeopathic medicine showed good symptomatic relief once again and 6 months later an evaluation PET scan showed reduced size, number and metabolic activity in practically all Lymph nodes and a stable disease once again. Today this wonderful lady has completed 6 years
since she was diagnosed as compared to a 3-year survival rate for her stage of disease. She enjoys a good quality of life with no disease related symptoms of any kind and scientifically a completely stable disease.

MR NHCHEMO SIDE-EFFECTS
A 75-year-old disciplined gentleman, was found to have multiple lesions in the liver during one of his yearly health check-ups. Tests such as CT scan of the abdomen. Tumour marker test and Biopsy were conducted. The results showed fulminating growths involving parts of the liver, high alpha Feto proteins and high tumour markers of CEA levels diagnosed him as Stage IV liver cancer. With his age and cardiac comorbidities, he chose to not opt for an any conventional treatment and reached out to Dr Ravi Doctor for palliative cancer care. It was a major challenge for maintaining his liver functions, controlling the spread to prevent further hepatic complications and together sustaining quality of life. He was given Mistletoe therapy along with hepatic specific Homeopathy as palliative treatment. With an IV stage disease like this there is bound to be a spread, hepatic complications and a shorter life expectancy of 1 year. Every 6 months a complete tumour analysis including PET scans scan showed a stable disease, his AFP levels had not progressed and CEA levels stabilized slightly above abnormal levels. We continued with our therapies as there was no further progress of the disease. He lived a good quality of life, without undergoing any disease related complications for more than 3 years with a non-progressive and a stable disease.
MR AKLIVER CANCER
A professor and head of the department at Rui college came to me with a challenging cancer and a crucial stage of disease. He was diagnosed with lung cancer with metastatic spread to his pelvic bone, spine and most importantly brain. His primary complaint was severe pain in the metastatic sites in the bones and recurrent seizures. With his advancing age and a recurrence of the disease he was sceptical to undergo radiation and also could not tolerate conventional pain killers. As our main goal was to reduce his pain together improve quality of life and in the process control the metastatic spread. With an integrated approach of Homeopathy, we could manage his pain to a bare minimum. So much so he resumed his duties back teaching college students. With an integrated medicinal approach including Homeopathy along with targeted conventional treatment a post 6 months scans revealed a stable disease, especially in the bones and majorly a stabilized lesion in his brain. He was under our care for more than 3 years as compared to just 1 year of survival with a stable disease and a good quality of life. His daughter a leading pathologist in Mumbai was amazed to see the benefit an integrated approach could give him; she also gave us a wonderful testimonial recognising the difference we could make in his life.
MR ALTBRAIN METS
Mrs KH was suffering from Cancer of the ovary with a complete spread to multiple organs and a critical spread to her abdominal wall creating a huge ulcer. The big challenge in her case was her overall survival, preventing septicaemia, managing pain and preventing hepatic coma, a complication affecting the brain functioning due to liver failure. As she was critically terminal ill which compelled the relatives to give her home care rather than a hospital stay. According to the doctors she barely could survive for 48 hours with her grave condition. Along with her multiorgan failure the cancer wound on the abdomen had a malodour and there was a complete compromise to over psychological and physical quality of life. We started with intensive Mistletoe therapy applications along with palliative homeopathy. Surprisingly her condition did not deteriorate post 48 hours. Post 2 weeks on intensive palliative care her wound did not have much malodour, her conscious levels improved showing an improvement in neurological functioning, over the next 2 more weeks there was marked improvement in her general condition, she was more alert and could sit by herself, her appetite improved, cancer wound showed a reduction in size and overall, there was a complete reversal in her psychological quality of life. She lived for 4 months and 12 days as compared to 48 hours with a good psychological and physical quality of life. This case has been presented at various international conferences including the Berlin oncological palliative medicine conference.
