Dear Dr.,

I'm looking for alternative treatments (non-allopathic treatment like Ayurvedic/Yoga /Homepathy etc.) for blood cancer (AML - Acute Myeloid Leukemia ) for my brother.

My brother has already undergone allopathic treatment in Rajiv Ghandhi Cancer Hospital in delhi for around 6 months. He has undergone 4 cycles of chemotherapy.

Can homeopathy cure this at this stage?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

thanks & regards,

Dear Naresh,

You have not provided many details that are essential to give any prognosis; for instance, the age of your brother. In children, AML has a high remission rate with chemotherapy. You have not told what is the age of your brother and what has been the response to chemotherapy. If Chemotherapy has brought a full remission, then you can use homeopathic medicine as an adjunct to improve the vitality of your brother. A homeopathic medicine can help to imrprove the long-term prognosis in this case. If chemotherapy has failed to give results, homeopathic medicines can be given a try. I can not tell you any specific medicines for AML as homeopathy treats on the basis of symptom-similarity and we usually do not have disease-specific drugs. To adminsiter homeopathic treatment, we will need to find a homeopathic medicine that best covers the symptoms of your brother along with other individualizing traits. Since there is not much data available for homeopathic treatment of AML, I can not gove you a sure prognosis. But a similar medicine will definitely improve the prognosis. Homeopathic medicines are also known to reduce the side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. You can make a pick.

Wishing health to your brother,

Dr. B
