Gastric cancer consist of three types :
Colon cancer
Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine. It usually starts as small, non-cancerous clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon.
Symptoms
- A persistent change in your bowel habits including diarrhoea or constipation or change in the consistency of your stool
- Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
- Persistent abdominal discomforts such as cramps, gas or pain
- Feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely
- Weakness or fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
Causes
Colon cancer begins when healthy cells in the colon develop changes in their DNA. A cell’s DNA contains a set of instructions that tell a cell what to do.
Healthy cells grow and divide in an orderly way to keep your body functioning normally. But when a cell DNA Is damaged and becomes cancerous, cells continue to divide even when new cells aren’t needed.
As cells accumulate, they form a tumour. With time, the cancer cells can grow to invade and destroy normal tissue nearby and cancerous cells can travel to other parts of the body to form deposits.
Risk Factors
- Old age
- H/o of colorectal cancer or polyp
- Inflammatory intestinal condition
- Inherited syndromes
- Family history of colon cancer
- High-fat diet, sedentary lifestyle
- DM, Obesity, alcohol
- Radiation therapy for cancer
Homoeopathic Invention
As per the latest research in homoeopathy:
Oesophageal Cancer
Conflict related to the oesophagus is “not being able or not being allowed to swallow a morsel”.
Example: One had expected a job, position, an inheritance,
a proposal, but is unexpectedly not able to get it.
A promise that has not been kept, something of personal value that has been
taken away from projects or plans one is unable to carry.
Stomach and Duodenum Cancer
Conflict-related is an indigestible morsel conflict. This can relate to a male territorial anger conflict or a female identity conflict.
- Territorial anger – anger in one’s domain, e.g. disputes at home, frauds at workplace, anger at school, battles over property or land, etc.
- Example: Disputes at home, frauds at the workplace, anger at school, battles over property or land etc.
Identity Conflict:
Means inability to establish one’s position or place (“territory”), An unwanted move, change of school, or change of a workplace can activate the conflict. Feeling unsettled, not knowing where to belong, not finding one’s place in a relationship, within the family, the group at work, or in the culture and society.
Colon Cancer
Conflict-related is “Not being able to absorb or digest a morsel”.
Conflict is experienced as anger, about a person, friend, neighbour, a
situation, relationship or accusations, insults, criticism or news that is
hard to take or difficult to digest. Also, ugly fights over money over a
property, ugly divorces, court cases or betrayals can cause it.
Homeopathic Approaches
Homeopathic approaches are progressively administered to an individual since they act on more than one condition of the body.
Homoeopathic treatment may provide some relief from the side effects of conventional cancer treatment.
For Cancer: Homoeopathic practitioners aim to stimulate immunity, lessen pain and improve energy and overall well-being, especially if a person is grappling with the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation such as nausea, hot flashes, infections and sores.
Oesophageal cancer
Cancer of the tube that runs from the throat to the stomach. Oesophageal cancer usually begins in the cells that line the inside of the esophagus.
Symptoms
- Difficulty in swallowing
- Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
- Unintentional weight loss
- Chest pain
- Worsening indigestion
- Heartburn and coughing or hoarseness
Causes
It’s not exactly clear what causes oesophageal cancer. Oesophageal cancer occurs when cells in the oesophagus develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. These changes make cells grow and divide out of control. The accumulating abnormal cells form a tumour in the oesophagus that can grow to invade nearby structures and spread to other parts of the body.
Types
- Adenocarcinoma: Begins in the cells of mucus-secreting glands in the oesophagus.
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Occurs in the upper and middle portion of the oesophagus.
- Rare types: Small Cell Carcinoma, Sarcoma, Lymphoma, Melanoma, and Choriocarcinoma.
Risk Factors
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Smoking
- Obesity
- Drinking alcohol
- The habit of drinking hot liquids
Prevention
- Quit smoking
- Eat more fruits and liquids
- Maintain a healthy diet and weight
Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that begins in the stomach.
Symptoms
- Difficulty in swallowing
- The bloated feeling after eating
- Heartburn, nausea, stomach pain
- Unintentional weight loss
- Vomiting
Causes
- A cell’s DNA contains instructions that tell the cell what to do.
- Mutations or changes in the DNA can cause the cell to grow quickly and to live longer than healthy cells would.
- Accumulating abnormal cells can form a tumour that invades and destroys healthy tissue.
- Over time, some cells may break off and spread to other parts of the body (metastasis).
Additional Risk Factors
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
- Obesity
- A diet high in salty and smoked foods
- A diet low in fruits and vegetables
- Family history of stomach cancer
- Infection with Helicobacter pylori
- Smoking
- Gastritis
Homoeopathy
Homoeopathy For Lactose Intolerenace:
Homeopathic medicine stimulates the immune system and reduces the defensive reaction against lactose. The effects of these medicines can be seen in the reduction of irritation and inflammation of the intestines, the symptoms, etc. Homeopathic medicines help the lactose intolerant by improving the digestion of milk and help to improve the quality of life by preventing further episodes of bloating and diarrhea. They also improve the absorption of calcium and minerals. They boost up the immune system and also increase the rate of metabolism. They help to improve the absorption of minerals and salts from the ingested food efficiently
AETHUSA:
an excellent remedy for vomiting of children. The child vomits soon after eating and nursing. It is followed by great exhaustion which is the keynotes of this remedy. The child falls back exhausted. The vomiting of milk is like green curd like. Feels hungry immediately after vomiting. Greenish diarrhea after the intake of dairy products. The children are irritable, anxious and crying. Intake of milk causes green-colored diarrhea which contains undigested particles.
NATRUM CARBONICUM:
is indicated for diarrhea after taking milk. Yellow, watery and gushing stool, sour-smelling stool sometimes mixed with blood. Severe urgency to pass stools with abdominal colic and fetid flatus.
CALCAREA CARBONICA:
is indicated for vomiting after taking milk. Nausea, cold sweat, and trembling with distension of abdomen. Vomiting with severe cramps and cutting pain in the abdomen
LAC DEFLORATUM:
it is indicated for nausea, vomiting and, headache after taking milk and other dairy product. Obstinate constipation with large stools. Exhausted from excessive straining for stool.
MAGNESIUM MURIATICUM:
it is indicated for chronic conditions of lactose intolerance with an inability to digest milk and milk products. Appearance of blisters on lips and tongue after taking milk. The tongue feels burnt and scalded
