Instead of trying to eliminate cancer-cells by toxic chemotherapies or by
radiation, which can cause itself an mutation of normal cells into
cancercells, immunmodulation tries to enhance the bodies own immunsystem
to suppress cancercellgrowth. Various methods are available and are
tested, research in this field is in progress and results are quite
positive. Prescriptions are used for unspecific stimulation of the
immunsystem, strengthening of the whole organism, reducing sideeffects of
chemotherapy or radiation, improving quality of life. More detailed
literature on results of scientific studies about Kampo and cancer can be
provided on request by: Europäische Akademie für Kampo Medizin/European

ORTHOMOLECULAR SUBSTITUTION
Vitamines, selen, zinc and others may have some effect on the oxydative
condition in cancer patients, benefits are discussed controversively
today.
THERAPY WITH MISTELLEKTINES
Various research has been done in this field and it is proven that
Mistellektines may have some benefit in suppressing tumorcellgrowth to
some extent.
THYMUSTHERAPY Is used for unspecific stimulation of the immunsystem.
AUTOVACCINES are a possible measure for specific stimulation of the
immunsystem, by either using cancercells for preparing a specific vaccine,
or blood. The samples are taken autologous, which means they are taken
from patient A and given after processing them, again to the same patient
A.
PRESCRIPTION ACCORDING TO DR. NOWICKY
The plant Chelidonium maj. is prepared according to rules found by
Dr.Nowicky. The Efficacy has been tested in certain international studies
with more or less positiv results. Sideeffects after application, if any,
are not severe. Microimmuntherapy (IDI): using gentechnological processed
immunmodulating factors and parts of nucleic acids etc. in homeopathic
dilutions may have a positive effect of inhibiting cancercellgrowth and
enhancing overall surviving time of patients suffering from cancer.
DR.GEPPERT/SOLINGEN/GERMANY
There also exists the possibility of inhalative treatment of lung
metastases by using proleukin in a specific galenic processing, provided
by Dr. Gäppert. During this treatment patients can stay at home, they do
not have to be hospitalized.
HOMÖOPATHY
According to Dr. Hahnemann different dilutions of herbal- or mineral
preparations are able to cause an alteration of the magnetic field of an
organism. "A simile heals the similar." Can also be helpful in stimulating
the immunsystem in cancerpatients. Homöopathy is quite useful in treating
other acute and chronic diseases, used either solely or as a complex, or
in combination with other therapies like Kampo, etc..
DIETARY REGIMES
Can be helpful, though there benefit is discussed controversially.
