Homeopathic Treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Homeopathic medicine is a concept in which it is believed that what will create the symptoms of illness in a healthy person will negate those symptoms in an ill person.

  1. How is Hodgkin's Lymphoma Homeopathically Treated?

    • Homeopathic treatment cannot begin until traditional treatment is already underway. At this point various chemical tablets that have been approved physicians are administered orally on a routine schedule.

    • It's not yet been conclusively proven that the underlying symptoms of Hodgkin's Lymphoma are reduced by homeopathic treatment, though it has been shown that they reduce the symptoms caused by traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatment, such as nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue and loss of appetite.

    Warning

    • It should be pointed out that, while some believe that homeopathic treatments may relieve the symptoms of illness, they do not cure the cause of the illness. As such, homeopathic treatments are best performed alongside standard treatments of illness.

    Homeopathic Treatment

    • Radium bromatum is taken in tablet form every one to four hours until symptoms subside. This chemical is typically used to treat the symptoms of radiation poisoning.

    Success of Homeopathic Treatment

    • The usefulness of homeopathic treatment for relieving the symptoms of Hodgkin's Lymphoma has only recently been documented. Notable cases include Luke Menard, contestant from the seventh season of "American Idol," who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2008.
