Abstract:

Background: Cancer is certainly one of the most upsetting things that can happen in a life time, it completely disturbs the family of the affected person. In resource-poor rural settings in India, the cost of chronic illness, especially cancer is much higher than that of communicable diseases. Lack of health insurance, comprehensive government sponsored treatment schemes and crowded clinics compel many cancer patients to look for treatment far outside of the mainstream medicine. Many poor cancer patients venture into herbals, homeopathy, local traditional medicine or even black magic.
Objective: The aim was to follow up two cancer patients treated with an herbal therapy called ‘HUMA’.Patients and
Methods: Out of the two cancer patients that were followed-up one had oral cancer and the other had high grade spindle cell sarcoma of the left distal forearm. Both these patients were from rural areas and opted for alternative treatment out of economic compulsion. The herbal formulation was derived from various important Ayurvedic herbs, viz. Azadirachta indica, Curcuma longa, Embelica officinalis, Ocimum sanctum, Semecarpus anacardium, and Tinospora cordifolia, among others.Results: Cancer regression was observed in both the patients without any visible adverse side effects. Complete remission of cancer was observed in the oral cancer patient.Conclusions: In absence of any conventional therapy the regression of cancer that was observed in these patients can be attributed to the alternative herbal treatment.
