From naturopathic standpoint the initial lumpectomy could be seen as a negative event due to the toxic effect of anaesthetic and physical trauma to body tissues, however, removal of the main bulk of tumour cells can be extremely helpful in reducing the ‘work’ the immune system has to do, whilst at the same time preventing toxins from the dying tumour being released into the bloodstream. The net effect of the initial operation is therefore positive.
The subject showed advanced dissemination of the cancer cells as there was a second tumour in her breast and malignant foci in her spine, rib, pelvis and shoulder. This is indeed a bad sign as the secondary tumours are more difficult to eliminate due to the way they are...
