Preventing Radiation Poisoning with Homeopathic Medicines
Do you like this story?
NaturalNews) The depth and breadth of contributions to conventional medicine and science is often ignored and basically suppressed. And yet, history reveals that it was a homeopath by the name of Emil Grubbe, MD (1875-1960) who was the first person to make use of radiation to treat a person with cancer (Dearborn, 2005).
In January 1896, Grubbe was a student at the Hahnemann Medical College (of Chicago, a famous homeopathic medical school). They gave radiation treatment to a woman with breast cancer.
Because of the basic premises of homeopathic medicine is that little doses of a treatment can help to heal those signs that large doses are known to cause, Ludlam suggested to Grubbe that radiation could be a treatment for conditions such as tumors because it also causes them.
Grubbe got the idea of using radiation as a treatment for breast cancer from Reuben Ludlam, MD, his professor at the homeopathic medical school. Ludlam knew that Grubbe had historicallyin the past experimented with X-ray as a diagnostic procedure so often that they developed blisters and tumors on his hand and neck due to overexposure to this new expertise.
This incident is but more example from history in which an insight from a homeopathic point of view has provided an important breakthrough in medical treatment.
Although Grubbe had to have hand amputated early in life due to the high exposures received from his early experiences with radiation, they ultimately lived a long and full life of 85 years, in part due to the homeopathic treatment they received throughout his life. Grubbe also had a long and distinguished career as a professor of electro-therapeutics and radiography at Hahnemann Medical College, and they is thought to have become the first professor of Roentgenology in the world (Hodges, 1964). True to his interests in conveying his discoveries to all doctors, Dr. Grubbe served as professor at different Chicago medical schools, including homeopathic, eclectic, and allopathic medical schools. Further, his courses helped to generate the idea of "continuing medical education" for doctors who had already graduated from a medical school but who needed to get more up-to-date schooling.
The point of this introduction is to confirm that homeopaths have a long history of using homeopathic medicines in the treatment of individuals who have been exposed to radiation...including lots of people, such as Emil Grubbe who were exposed to significant amounts of radiation and lived long and fruitful lives.
Grubbe's contribution to medicine and science was further enhanced by the fact that they was the first to make use of lead as a protection against radiation exposure.
In these opening remarks, I also need to urge us all to keep away from spreading fear within ourselves and to others. Although it is nice to be prepared for potential disasters, it is important to keep away from exacerbating these emotions by overfeeding them.
With the media promoted concerns about radiation drift from Japan and the actual and exaggerated fears that lots of people are experiencing now, the first homeopathic medicine that people today may think about taking is Arsenicum album 30C. Arsenicum album is a leading homeopathic medicine for anxiety and fear, around health issues and about being poisoned. Taking a single dose whenever notices these strong emotional states is reasonable, but think about repeated use if recommended to do so by a professional homeopath.
Before discussing the history of use of homeopathic medicines for exposure to radioactivity, it is first important to know that there is a significant body of research to show the benefits of homeopathic medicines in treating environmental exposures of poisonous substances.
Scientific Proof for the Homeopathic Treatment of Environmental Poisons
Back in 1994, a highly respected group of researchers reviewed 105 animal studies that evaluated the ability of homeopathic medicines to discharge heavy metals from the bodies of mice (Linde, Jonas, Melchart, et al, 1994).
This review found that the best results were in the studies that were deemed to be scientifically rigorous. When evaluating only these higher quality studies, the researchers found a significant reduced death rate from exposure to poisonous minerals (arsenic, mercury, cadmium, bismuth) when homeopathic doses of these substances got to the animals (as compared with those given a placebo).
At present, arsenic in groundwater has affected millions of people globally distributed over twenty countries. In parts of West Bengal (India) & Bangladesh alone, over 100 million people are in danger, & supply of arsenic-free water is grossly inadequate.
Since 1994, over a dozen new studies have confirmed these results. A group of university researchers in India have conducted a body of laboratory trials testing the effects of heavy metals on mice which got homeopathic doses of these poisonous substances after exposure (Datta, Mallick, Khuda-Bukhsh, 2001; Mallick, Chakrabart, Khuda-Bukhsh, 2003; Banerjee P, Mallick, Chakrabarti, Guha, et al, 2003; Bhattacharya, 2003; Bhattacharyya SS, Pathak S, 2008). * (*It is not appropriate to list all of the studies here, but people with an interest in this subject can review the references in these articles.)
Attempts to remove groundwater arsenic by using orthodox medicines have mostly been unsuccessful. A potentized homeopathic treatment made from arsenic (Arsenicum album 30C) was administered in a double-blind, placebo-control study to a group of groundwater arsenic affected people, & the arsenic contents in urine & blood were periodically evaluated (Khuda-Bukhsh, AR, Pathak, S, Guha, 2005; Belon, Banerjee, Karmakar, et al, 2007). The activities of various toxicity marker enzymes & compounds in the blood, namely aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, lipid peroxidation & reduced glutathione, were also periodically monitored up to three months. The results are highly encouraging & recommend that the drug can alleviate arsenic poisoning in humans.
Based on this research, it is reasonable to ask if homeopathic doses of radioactive elements & other substances with apparently similar effects are useful.
