Homeopathic Medicine for Tumors

Normal cells reproduce themselves throughout life but in an orderly and controlled manner. Normal growth occurs, worn out tissues are replaced and wounds heal. When cells grow out of control and form a mass, the mass is called tumor. Some tumors grow and enlarge only at the site where they began and these are benign tumors. Other tumors not only enlarge locally but have the potential to invade and destroy the normal tissues around and to spread to the distant parts of the body. Such tumors are called malignant or cancerous. Distant spread of a cancer occurs when malignant cells detach themselves from the original (primary) tumor, are carried to other parts of the body through blood or lymphatic vessels and establish themselves at the new site as a cancer. A tumor that has spread in this way is said to have metastasized and the secondary tumor or (tumors) is called metastasis. However, not all the localised growths are benign and not all the growths occurring at different sites are malignant. Genes are the blue prints that tell a cell when to divide and when to die. Often when a gene turns bad, it triggers uncontrolled growth, but genes called tumor suppressors step in to stop it. It is when these tumor suppressors also turn bad, that the tumor develops.
