The ABC Homeopathy Forum
carc c, 200c, 6 year old
I have a 6 year old daughter, down syndrome. I recently found a 'master homeopath' with over 26 years of experience. I felt extremely blessed! However, one remedy that she prescribed is one that so many fear that I have allowed fear to creep in. She prescribed Carc C, 200C 3X daily for 5 days and then to repeat in approx a month. Other stories I've read caution taking this remedy for even one time! I would really appreciate somebody putting my mind at ease. I notified the homeopath who reassured me she has been giving this for years and infact has given it to babies with no side effects ever reported to her. My daughter has a lot of the tell tale symptoms of a Carc C and I do know why it would have been chosen. I just need reassurance or at least tell me why it is so feared! Thank you.freenmaddie on 2006-08-17
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Carcinocin 200c was very helpful to a three year old child with Down Syndrome in a seminar where they presented live cases. I forgot what the other remedies were off hand.
My notebook was stolen, but I rememnber they spoke for an hour on that remedy.

Possible effects from carc are fever and asthmatic wheezing immediately as an indication for aggravation. This should come within a few doses. Other than this, if infrequent doses are given there is nothing to worry about carc if its indicated. It can act wonderfully for its symptomatolgy.

Even if it aggravates, symptoms will subside within matter of days; you may need to stop that remedy at the time of aggravation and inform your homeopath. That's all.

Dear freenmaddie.
I have personally been giving Carcinosin for twelve years in clinical practice, and even taken it myself with no ill effects whatsoever. However, there ARE some guidelines, as there are with any very deeply acting remedy.
It should only be given as a single dose (or a few doses on the same day), and not repeated too often. The dosing of 3x daily for 5 days is simply too much, and any good CLASSICAL Homoeopath will tell you we only dose in this way for acute conditions, not chronic. Also, 15 doses of the same unchanged potency is NOT good Homoeopathy, and has now been denounced for many many years, so you are right to question. I would speak to your Homoeopath about this, maybe they are not such a 'master Homoeopath' afterall. Experience is one thing, but understanding the subject is something quite different...

I suppose a stigma is attatch to such remedies. Important to know is just because one may be given Carc. doesnt mean they have cancer. Just as we prescribe Tuberculinum to many who have never had the disease or would get it. It is not as pleasent a thought as giving something like Pulsatilla or Arnica, but homeopathy is full of a bunch of nasty remedies. Dont worry about it -but be thankful that you have insight, many dont.

Its kind of weird when ya think about it . We may take ARsenic in potency and not think twice.

Using the remedies in water is not repeating the same dosage. It is actually a changed dosage.
It is called split dosing and recommended in the 6th edition of the Organon. If your Homeopath is experienced in giving the remedy several times a day fro so many days, perhaps they are giving it in a water dosage?
This is the way that many Homeopaths give the remedies and because it is a split dosage of one remedy at a time, it is still considered classical.
David Little used to treat many DS children with water potencies, especially LM's, shaken before dosing.

This is more information on Hahnemann's Organon on water remedies.Paragraphs from Chronic Diseases 1837 preface (Page 262 in back of the book) exemplifies Hahnemann's use of the water solution:
'Experience has shown me, as it has no doubt also shown to most of my followers, that it is most useful in diseases of any magnitude (not excepting even the most acute, and still more so in the half-acute, in the tedious and most tedious) to give to the patient the powerful homeopathic pellet or pellets only in solution, and this solution in divided doses. In this way we give the medicine, dissolved in 7-20 tablespoons (4-8 oz.) of water without any addition, in acute and very acute diseases every 6, 4 or 2 hours...
In chronic disease I have found it best to give a dose (e.g., a spoonful) of a solution of the suitable medicine at least every 2 days, more usually every day.
I do not think that anyone on the forum should attack the way that a person's Homeopath tells them to use a Homeopathic remedy, instead, perhaps ask if it worked?
