According to Arthur Grimmer MD, a student of Dr. James Tyler Kent's,
the big cancer break-through in homeopathy
is Cadmium Metallicum and the various Cadmium salts.
Grimmer says that Cadmium is to cancer what Thuja is to Sycosis
and Mercury is to the Syphilitic miasm. Before the Cadmiums, a lot
of cancer cases were lost. Virtually every advanced case of cancer
needs one of the Cadmiums, says Grimmer.
(I had a friend who died of Hodgkin's Disease many years back;
I knew nothing of homeopathy then, but looking back I always thought
he should have had Arsenicum but now that I understand the Cadmiums
I can see that, yes, he was the very image of, most likely, Cadmium
Iodatum.)
Indeed, it's quite easy to confuse the Cadmiums with Arsenicum.
Both have an absolute horror of being alone. Both are chilly but
Cadmium is freezing! Both are thin, pale, tired and weak and both
are irritable but Cadmium is tremendously irritable and angry and
even hate-filled! All the joy is gone. The mental state is one of
loathing.
There is not only the similarity to Arsenicum but the snake remedies
as well: Sleep aggravates! Plus, there is a choking sensation, trouble
swallowing, a constriction of the throat. He may wake up suffocating,
he may stop breathing on going to sleep, he may sleep with the eyes
open, there may be insomnia for a prolonged period of time. In general,
all symptoms are worse after sleep.
Cadmium Sulph. is best known for its action on the gastro-intestinal
tract. This is the reason to give this remedy for anyone on radiation
and chemo therapy, because it will prevent the vomiting and nausea
and anorexia associated with these "therapies". The reason
it is so effective is because Cad-s. is a stomach cancer remedy
in its own right and has the symptoms of burning and cutting pains
in the stomach, severe nausea, in fact, everything causes nausea,
even the slightest movement (it's like Bryonia in this regard),
even noise, music or odors cause nausea, almost any stimulus. The
vomit can be yellow or black; "coffee ground" they call
it. The face may be bathed in cold sweat. This is also a remedy
for vomiting in alcoholics--due most likely to stomach ulcers; even
vomiting of pregnancy that won't respond to the usual remedies.
Cad-s. has paralysis of single muscles, as in facial paralysis.
There is a tendency to necrosis and gangrene. There's some of the
usual Sulphur symptoms--itching at night, worse warmth of the bed,
better scratching, burning sensations, bad breath.
Cadmium Metallicum is more specific to bone cancer. Cadmium may
say or do the wrong things from poor concentration, such as putting
salt in the coffee instead of sugar. There's vertigo--objects recede
and return. There are neuralgic headaches, vomiting with headaches,
numbness of feet and hands. Cad-m. is also an antidote to aluminum
poisoning. Alternation of heat and cold. Hemorrhages of the bladder
and rectum--usually dark but occasionally bright red. Severe joint
pains.
Cadmium Iodatum has glandular involvement--cervical glands of the
neck, tonsils, thyroid, breasts, testicles, ovaries, liver, spleen,
pancreas and the lymph system. Cad-i. is hateful and full of self-pity.
You can be sure it's cad-i. if the patient is not so chilly.
These are the three main Cadmium remedies. If you see Phosphorus
qualities, such as great thirst for cold drinks but vomited immediately,
consider Cadmium Phos. Grimmer recommends Cadmium Ars. for liver
cancer.
To recap, the Cadmium patient: freezing, worse cold, can scarcely
get warm even in front of the fire; thin, pale, nauseous, worse
slightest movement, irritable, humorless, angry, very negative,
advanced stages of disease, sleep aggravates.
