Say the overjoyed parents, "We always think of
allopathy when we think of cancer. Our daughter is an example of how
homeopathy can work wonders with cancer." Dr Bansali, the
man behind many similar success stories feels that "allopathy offers
surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. But cancerous cells never die and
such treatments have other side effects like damaging the kidneys, and
the heart." In fact Bansali feels that homeopathy can help
better because it does not deal in a standardized way for everybody.
"Homeopathy takes into account the person's entire system and the
treatment therefore becomes very individualized," says Bansali.
Deepali Mehendale's saga of cancer began as
a heaviness in the abdomen which was proved to be cancer. She had two
cancerous tumors that were 13.5 cms X 11.5 cms and 12 cms X 10.5 cms.
Deepali was advised surgery followed by chemotherapy. "I underwent
surgery last year, but I didn't want to undergo chemotherapy because
of its various side effects like hair loss and nausea. I had heard of
Dr Santosh Bansali and his homeopathic treatment and decided to opt
for it." When Deepali refused chemotherapy, she had a CA-125 level
of 43.4 U/ml. The CA-125 is a test that determines ovarian cancer and
normal limits are levels less than 35.0 U/ml. After eight months of
taking homeopathic treatment, Deepali's CA-125 plunged to 4.40 U/ml,
well below normal. "Now I feel totally fit and energized,"
says Deepali.
Bansali believes that he can cure most people who
come to him much before the final stages of cancer. He also claims to
have a success rate of 75 per cent. However, though doctors are happy
with such reports, they are cautious about whether the treatment works
or not. Dr Dilip Wani, consulting pathologist feels that it might be
rather early to comment. "Also, all of Bansali's patients that
I have seen have taken treatment only after taking chemotherapy. The
cancerous cells would already have been greatly reduced," he says.
The fact that there is no control group means that it would be some
time before homeopathy would be widely practiced and used for the treatment
of cancer. Bansali acknowledges this fact and has maintained meticulous
records of all his patients to aid scientific research. Yet while the
debate continues, patients continue flocking to him. For, what matters
eventually is the cure.
