This study from the International Journal of Oncology shows how the
homeopathic remedy Ruta 6 used in conjunction with CalPhos 3x was useful in
the regression of tumors in glioma patients. After getting permission from
as oncologist in Boston, I am working with a patient who was given only 2
weeks to 2 months to live, and is now making a remarkable recovery using
this protocol. His doctor has also allowed the use of antioxidants which was
originally contraindicated, as well as foods high in antioxidants. I advised
him to discontinue the supplements 24 hours before and continue the
supplements 48 hours after chemotherapy. Before using alternative methods,
his tumor was still growing while getting chemotherapy and radiation. His
speech, motor skills, and energy level have all improved.

Although conventional chemotherapies are used to treat patients with
malignancies, damage to normal cells is problematic.
Blood-forming bone marrow cells are the most adversely affected.
It is therefore necessary to find alternative agents that can kill cancer
cells but have minimal effects on normal cells.
We investigated the brain cancer cell-killing activity of a homeopathic
medicine, Ruta, isolated from a plant, Ruta graveolens.
We treated human brain cancer and HL-60 leukemia cells, normal B-lymphoid
cells, and murine melanoma cells in vitro with different concentrations of
Ruta in combination with Ca3(PO4)2.
Fifteen patients diagnosed with intracranial tumors were treated with Ruta 6
and Ca3(PO4)2.
Of these 15 patients, 6 of the 7 glioma patients showed complete regression
of tumors.
Normal human blood lymphocytes, B-lymphoid cells, and brain cancer cells
treated with Ruta in vitro were examined for telomere dynamics, mitotic
catastrophe, and apoptosis to understand the possible mechanism of
cell-killing, using conventional and molecular cytogenetic techniques.
Both in vivo and in vitro results showed induction of survival-signaling
pathways in normal lymphocytes and induction of death-signaling pathways in
brain cancer cells.
Cancer cell death was initiated by telomere erosion and completed through
mitotic catastrophe events.
We propose that Ruta in combination with Ca3(PO4)2 could be used for
effective treatment of brain cancers, particularly glioma.

No offense, but I hope this paper does not represent the standard of papers
published in the International Journal of Oncology...

What was the amount of Ruta used? Or was it just water?

I've already looked at this paper, and these were my comments to someone
else..
>What do you make of this study?
My first reactions are: I would like to meet even one of these patients to
be sure they exist, the in vitro studies involve a lot of processing of the
materials raising the possibility of contamination of the homeopathic
preparations (a la Benveniste), the experiment runs seem to sometimes
involve only one example of each test performed, and I cannot see the point
of the small dose of calcium phosphate given to the cancer patients when
blood levels of calcium are already so tightly regulated. I also saw no
mention of the effects of controls consisting of the calcium alone, or
calcium with evaporated alcohol under the conditions of the in vitro
experiments.
This should have been broken down into two papers so that more detail could
have been included about both the in vitro work and the clinical data.
The clinical data alone is *explosive* to say the least, if true, and one
wonders why a more detailed account of them was offered, and why we have
never heard of this before. It was published in 2003. Does no one else
believe them?

No, nobody believes them. I wish I had a nickel for everybody who had a
brain tumor who said "I got radiation and it didn't help, so I took x
and y and z alternative medicine, and lo... my tumor stopped growing
and started shrinking!"
The full effect of radiation takes a while. I'd be more impressed in
responses in untreatd brain tumor patients. But you always see the ones
who've had every last rad (or cGy if you're politically correct), and
are singing the praises of some snakeoil.

Why would the Journal of Oncology would print false data?
They don't. Maybe you just can't deal with truth?

Ah, the truth! Have you found it? What is it?

But neither you nor I know how well peer-reviewed this journal is,
especially when it publishes material like this. The laboratory work seems
amateurish. It claims a near hundred per cent cure rate of various kinds
of cancer and benign tumours, when it is most unusual for homeopaths
(outside of India, that is, where unusual claims are regularly made for
urine drinking, and the antibiotic effects of cow's urine, and many other
improbable remedies) to claim any results at all in cancer, even though they
will be treating many such patients.
