Homeopathy and Cancer – Real Benefits or Empty Promises

Naturally, considering how often human cancer patients seek alternative health care, veterinary clients hunger for safe and effective options that would allow them to circumvent conventional and risky cancer treatments or at least lessen their side effects. They may be disappointed to learn that currently no alternative therapies constitute proven, effective cures for cancer, although many natural products show promise. Alternative treatment providers who claim to offer cures for cancer may be considered unethical for several reasons. Delaying conventional and proven treatments may hasten an animal’s death and turn what was potentially curable, incurable. In fact, a Pakistani study showed that 36% of human cancer patients tried homeopathy before seeking conventional care, risking late presentation and a worse outcome. Providing false hopes can lead to cruel disappointments and financial exploitation.
