Effective Cancer Treatment without Side Effects?
Although in conventional medicine chemotherapies are used to treat patients with malignancies, adverse effects are common, and damage to normal cells is a widespread problem. Chemotherapy agents can do serious damage to the cells of the bone marrow that play an important role in blood-formation. In their search for potential alternative agents that can kill cancer cells without adverse effects on normal cells, scientists with the Departments of Cancer Biology and Laboratory Medicine at the University Of Texas Department of Molecular Genetics, at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston, Texas, have turned to evaluating homeopathic drugs. These researchers believe they may have found just such an agent in a common homeopathic remedy, Ruta graveolens.57
They tried the drug Ruta graveolens 6C along with Ca3(PO4)2 (calcium phosphate) in the 3X potency in vitro and in vivo. Of 15 patients, 6 of 7 glioma patients showed complete regression of tumors. The results of both in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that the drug induced “survival-signaling pathways in normal lymphocytes and death-signaling pathways in brain cancer cells” and that “telomere erosion initiated cancer cell death and mitotic catastrophic events completed the process.” The authors proposed that Ruta graveolens in combination with calcium phosphate could be used as an effective treatment for brain cancers, particularly gliomas.
Conventional cancer treatment can harm the DNA, and has the potential to cause mutations, tumors and neoplasms. Homeopathic cancer drugs, in the customary doses, apparently do not have these harmful effects. One study, conducted at the Laboratorio de Citogenetica Humana, Centro de Ciencias Biologicas, Universidade Federal do Para, Belem, PA, in Brazil, evaluated the genotoxic effects of a homeopathic combination treatment labeling it the Canova Method (CM).58 CM is a homeopathic medicine developed for the treatment of patients with cancer and for pathologies that involve a depressed immune system, such as AIDS. This product is composed of homeopathic dilutions of Aconitum napellus, Arsenicum album, Bryonia alba, Lachesis mutus and Thuja occidentalis. According to the author of the study, it stimulates the immune system by activating and accelerating the activity of macrophages and lymphocytes. Activated macrophages stimulate the lymphocytes so they will increase their cytotoxic action in response to tumoral growth or infection.
The study evaluated the genotoxic effects induced in human lymphocytes treated with this homeopathic medication in vitro. The team scored structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations for the assessment of induced genotoxic effects, while evaluating possible variations in the mitotic index as a monitor for induced cellular toxicity. Treatments with CM did not affect mitotic indexes, nor did they provoke chromosomal aberrations, when compared with untreated controls. There was no cytotoxicity or genotoxicity at the chromosomal level.

Quote from Amazon.com
"Lachesis Mutus is a product that most people have never heard of. It is incredible for helping me to fight infection and to improve my circulation. My circulation in my legs is painful at times and this product does wonders for
knocking the pain and bringing absolute relief. I breathe easier with it. It has many benefits. I use 5 of these very little pills several times during the day. It is just amazing for relieving inflammation. It has a variety of uses that people can use it for. Some people use it for aiding menopausal hot flashes, aiding inflammation like lupus or fibromyalgia, headaches, circulation problems of various types, and just pain in the hands from typing all day. It is just a very soothing product when the body is hurting anywhere. I am thrilled that it costs so little and does so very much. Highly recommended."

My comments....
The venom from the bushmaster snake is called Lachesis Mutus. WHA!
So small you would have to take some where around a swimming pool full of the pills to get even one atom of the original "stuff".
Description I found in multiple sites:
My opinion?
So, it might help healing, but since it is anti-coagulant I really feel that you must take it with Yun Nan Bai Yao anti bleeding herbs if you have bleeding tumors. Yes, even though it's a homeopathic theory. Read below about homeopathy. Why risk it.
This text below is from tripawds.com a dog bone cancer site:
Homeopathic medicine is based on a “Principle of Similars,” or “like cures like” philosophy. This means that illnesses can be cured by small doses of a natural substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people. For example, tiny doses of one plant medicine that causes vomiting in a healthy person, may actually cure vomiting in a sick person.
Arnica Montana
Produces conditions upon the system quite similar to those resulting from injuries, falls, blows, contusions. Septic conditions; prophylactic of pus infection.
It is especially suited to cases when any injury, however remote, seems to have caused the present trouble. After traumatic injuries. Traumatism of grief, remorse or sudden realization loss. Limbs and body ache as if beaten; joints as if sprained. Relaxed blood vessels, black and blue spots. Tendency to hemorrhage and low-fever states. Tendency to tissue degeneration, septic conditions, abscesses. Sore, lame, bruised feeling.
Belladonna
Belladonna acts upon every part of the nervous system, furious excitement, exaggerated senses, twitching and pain. It has a marked action on the vascular system, skin and glands. Belladonna is associated with hot, red skin, glaring eyes, throbbing pulses, excited mental state, restless sleep, dryness of mouth and throat, neuralgic pains that come and go suddenly. Heat, redness, throbbing and burning. Spasms followed by nausea and vomiting. Belladonna stands for violence of attack and suddenness of onset.
Barberry Vulgaris
Rapid change of symptoms-pains change in regard to place and character-thirst alternates with thirstlessness, hunger, and loss of appetite, etc.
Old gouty constitutions. Pain in region of kidneys is most marked; hence its use in renal issues and gall-stones. Pains may be felt all over body, emanating from small of back. Often called for in arthritic affections with urinary disturbances. Wandering, radiating pains. Spinal irritation.

Cannot bear anything tight anywhere. Great loquacity. Sad in the morning; no desire to mix with the world. Restless and wants to be off somewhere all the time.
My opinion of above text?
Something must be there for it to work on animals. There is no placebo effect on a dog. I have not tried any of these yet.
