Brief Answer:
Hello friend, Homoeopathy can cure you

Detailed Answer:
Hello friend,
I have gone through your case and understood how seriously you are afflicted by the “cancer scare”.
The doctors whom you have approached only worsened your scare and never tried to give you some consolation.
I am a Homoeopath and so believe that I can help you to come back to total health. But I cannot proceed at this juncture unless you give YOUR whole case. The investigation reports and the interpretations made by your doctors, based on those reports, not even give 1/3rd of YOUR whole case. You have not explained, who you are, what are your life situations, your genetic and individual reactions to those life situations etc.

The pathology or bodily changes happening in your organs are determined by your brain, which is the computer of your body. Nobody makes any final conclusion based only on the dysfunctions that appear on the monitor without checking the processor. In the case of your ill health, your brain decides which tissue, of which germinal layer, whether ectoderm, endoderm or mesoderm is affected, whether indurations like tumors, ulcerations etc. etc. Please understand that your conflicts, in the form of unexpected emotional shocks again decide which area of the brain is to be affected and which pathology is to take place etc. The conflicts are again subjective and individualistic based on your genetic dispositions which we Homoeopaths call as MIASMS.
Therefore if you want Homoeopathic treatment, I have to get YOUR whole case. Homoeopathy treats YOU and not your diseases.
Please remain cool and relaxed. Please take it from me, nature never creates any disease to kill you, not even cancer. It is not the cancer that kills but it is the cancer scare created by vested interests of the INDUSTRY that kills people.
I can assist you to become completely healthy, provided you give your whole case in detail, using the case recording format herewith attached.
