WHAT IS CARCINOSIN? HOMEOPATHIC MIASMS

Carcinosin Homeopathy Uses

​Carcinosin is a miasmatic homeopathic remedy.

​Miasms are inherited predispositions to disease or states that have are present in our body and can become active at different points in our lives.


Carcinosin is one of my favourite homeopathic remedies in my practice that I prescribe very often, one with many uses and a remedy that I find very easy to spot.  

However, many times, I have heard patients saying that they are concerned or scared about this homeopathic remedy and I feel this is because the association that they have made between this particular nosode and the original source.

However, there is nothing to fear when working with this remedy, this is a gentle and lovely remedy that is very valuable in the present times and helps with many symptoms, emotional as well as physical.

To understand a bit more this nosode and its uses, we need to understand its foundations and how it is framed from the physical to the emotional side of the remedy.

​On a physical sphere, Carcinosin has a strong affinity to the immune system, the part in our bodies that defends us from intruders such as virus and bacteria.  The immune system, which is our gatekeeper,  searches for things that are foreign to us and protects us from them, our immunity is based on well-defined boundaries into what belongs to our body and what is foreign to us. The main theme of this remedy is BOUNDARIES.

When our body is out of balance needing this remedy,  our immune systems becomes unable to clearly define what belongs to us and what is foreign. In this way, it attacks our body in the same way that it does any foreign material giving rise to all kind of chronic inflammations, fevers and autoimmune problems,  chronic allergies, viral infections and even chronic skin problems such Psoriasis. 
​
CARCINOSIN HOMEOPATHIC NOSODE

​On the mental level, the Carcinosin patient is unable to develop clear boundaries that lead to a sense of healthy identity and self-esteem.

No wonder why the Banerjies have found this remedy to be helpful at some point in most of their cancer cases and some other protocols to boost immunity.   Learn more about the Banerji Protocols here.

Carcinosin is a remedy that lacks a definition of internal boundaries and therefore, it is very much affected by anything external coming in as an attack to the system. This can be in the form of an emotional external event such as grief or physical attack such as any kind of toxicity into our body that affects our immunity and how our body handles the detoxification of those substances. 

So this remedy is very helpful for issues arising from any drug toxicity such as hormones, vaccinations, or excess of drugs. It is often used to boost the immune system to get rid of the offending substances, and it is part of many detox protocols that have been used successfully in homeopathy.

​
​An area where the Banerjies use this remedy is in arrested development such as in the  Autism protocol. As the rise in autism cases has been linked to the amount of toxic material loaded in a child's organism, such as aluminium adjuvants which are thought to cause systematic brain inflammation, this remedy in their protocol in one of their lines,  makes complete sense as one of the possible options to address one of the layers in that complex disease.

The Banerjies also use this remedy for PANDAS which stands for Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder, again another use of this remedy in auto immune problems.

So what are the building blocks of Carcinosin from a more classical approach? 

Let's have a look at the most obvious themes and how is it represented on the rubrics of the repertory, which are the headings that point us to this remedy. By studying the rubrics we can start to build a picture of its characteristics that give us an idea of its behaviour.

INTERNAL CHAOS

​Carcinosin has an internal turmoil, chaos, disorganisation, a sense of wildness. The Carcinosin person internally lacks self-control and it is in a state of wildness. This is represented by the rubrics:
Mind: wildness
Mind: chaotic
Also, the unconscious comes to the dreams in the form of distress: 
Dreams: devils
Dreams: frightful
Dreams: nightmares
 
The fear is directed to things that can act as out of control and are threatening to them.  
Mind: Fear of cancer
Mind: Fear of impending disease
Mind: Fear of cancer
Mind: Fear in a crowded street
Mind: Fear of impending disease

CONTROL

This internal state causes the individual to try to compensate externally by controlling everything. 
Strong self-control emerges and they also develop the need to control their environment leading to perfectionism. 
This is represented by an obsession which may lean towards healthy eating, body image, exercise, cleanliness, tidiness, order, work, helping others, etc
Mind: fastidious
Mind: desire for harmony
Mind: occupation amel
Mind: order, desire for
Mind: rest, cannot rest when things are not in the proper place
Mind: industrious
Mind: self control, increased
Mind: anger about his mistakes

However, perfectionism is an impossible task to be achieved and Carsinosin people feel that strain. Trying to be perfect is impossible and this is the task faced by people needing this remedy. The state encompasses the feeling of trying to achieve something that is not possible for humans.
Mind: delusions, superhuman control is under
Mind: delusions, influence one is under a powerful

The person has the feeling of performing a task that has never end, it can not be completed but still, they insist on keeping up with it and this becomes a fixation.
Dreams: exhausting
Dreams: searching someone; for, failing to find him, and
Dreams: work, night, treats patients, whole
Mind: too much sense of duty
Mind: obstinate
​

Nevertheless, controlling the outside is no more than a projection of trying to maintain calm in a sea of turmoil. Internally, there is a strong need to be free, to be different from how you are acting and the need to break free in Carcinosin is expressed as:
Mind: change, desire for, life in
Mind: travelling desire for

ANXIETY

Carcinosin people are full of anticipatory anxiety because they know that the task they have set themselves is two high. That sense of striving for perfection is in time, striving to achieve the unachievable and as a result, it has an effect on their self-esteem. 

Any task has to be done to perfection and they feel unsure if they can perform it or not if it will be good enough or not. This is turn makes them sensitive to criticism from other people as that is a sign of imperfection.
Mind: anxiety, about his family and others, if a time is set 
Mind: ailments from, anticipation
Mind: anxiety, future about
Mind: conscience, anxiety of
Dreams: danger, death of
Dreams: misfortune

SUPRESSION

Their internal chaos is compensated with the state of control.
As they need to conform to others, they are constantly adapting. By adapting, you may have to compromise in leaving behind something that you may like or need and this may create feelings of sacrifice.
Mind: suppressing his desires
Mind: resignation
Mind: yielding disposition
Mind: will, weakness of
Mind: polite, too polite
Mind: delusions, small, body is smaller
Mind: delusions, martyr, of being a
Picture

REBELLION

​In homeopathy we often find polarities with in the same remedy. They are both expressions of the same axis. The opposite to conform is to rebel and this is a position that Carcinosin may display at some point. 

This is somehow seen more in children than adults and this well maybe because children are less compensated than adults are. Adults have adapted and conformed to the rest of society as a way to blending in, to integrate although their inner feelings may be very different from how they are presented externally.

Children tend to act more freely as they have not yet developed the adult needs to be integrated into a wider group. The smaller the child, the less social integration needed. In children up to 2 and ½ years of age, their main social group may be mother, father and siblings and this provides unconditional love, regardless of behaviour.

Children, in general, do not care if some behaviour is socially accepted or not, so rebellion to control can be more freely express.  
Adults have conformed for too long and the desire to break free has been suppressed for too long. 
Mind: children, temper tantrums
Mind: anger, children in,
Mind: dictatorial
Mind: destructiveness
Mind: disobedience   

ARTISTIC-LOVE OF MUSIC AND DANCE

Many people talk about expressing themselves freely when painting, dancing or making a sculpture. For Carcinosin, art is a way of releasing part of what it has being suppressed, it is an outlet. The love of music and dancing involves rhythm and coordinated movement.
​

In a wild estate, there is no coordination; chaos is an unformed, disorganised mass.
Art is an expression, the opposite of suppression.
Mind: dancing, love to
Mind: art, ability for
Mind: music, desire for

SENSITIVE

Carcinosin people are known to be very sensitive to animals as well as people. This is one of the biggest grief remedies in our Materia Medica. As the boundaries are not well adjusted, this gives rise to lots of permeability merging with others feelings and emotions as well as being greatly affected by others actions. 

This part of the state arises as to the realisation that to be accepted, true nature must be suppressed, hence the love for animals that love us regardless of anything. Their inner love for themselves has also been suppressed and therefore is projected onto the external environment.
Animals give us unconditional love, the love and support that Carcinosin people may have missing.

The love for nature in this remedy could be explained as searching for harmony. Creation is organised opposite to their inner chaotic state.
Mind: cheerful when thunders and lighten
Mind: anxiety, health about, relatives of
Mind: sympathetic
Mind: nature, loves
Mind: animals, love of animals

Picture


​It is quite amazing to see how the themes of this remedy merge from the physical to the emotional plane and how easy is to be able to recognise it. This remedy is very important on our times as individuality and self-expression are becoming more infrequent in our society. We all need to look and be the same to feel excepted or loved. 

Carcinosin mimics a bit of everyone to blend in, and in the same way, this remedy can look like small incomplete aspects of other remedies in our materia medica which are complementary or related to this one like Natrum-mur, Arsenicum, Pulsatilla, Staphisagria, Lycopodium, Sepia or Thuja and the other nosodes, Tuberculinum, Psorinum, Medorrinum and Syphilinum.
​
Sometimes, it acts as an umbrella holding the other remedies underneath. Again, it mimics a bit of each of these remedies in the same way that the person adapts to its environment to fit in.
​
Our present society has moved from the Tubercular miasm which was characterised for self-expression and creativity into the Cancer miasm which is mainly fuelled by suppression. That is why Carcinosin and Tuberculinum are remedies that we often see one after another and after prescribing Carcinosin, often some of the other related remedies come alive in the patient giving us an indication of the deeper workings of this remedy in action.

I really appreciated this post. My 17-y-o daughter has all sorts of mental issues along with horrid insomnia that comes and goes. When it’s bad, it’s BAD. My research led me to carcinosin. She fits so well to this picture of carcinosin. A few doses over a few days and the insomnia quickly went. And, I think, overall she has been better in other ways. Considering all she deals with mentally this is fantastic. Your post gave me confidence and peace learning it’s a gentle remedy and often prescribed. Thank you. I learn a great deal from your articles. They’re so well laid out.

I was prescribed carsinosin by a doctor. But it aggravated my cervical spondylitis very very badly. He suggested that if I kept on taking the medication my neck will get better with time, but it kept on worsening and I lost my patience in a month. I was almost bed-ridden due to my severe neck pain. So I had to discontinue carsinosin.
To my surprise my neck got better just in 3 Days of stopping carsinosin.
My doctor had no explanation to this.
Could you help me. Could you tell me why did this happen.I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

Hello Aradhna, this has a very easy explanation. You need to think that a case is built on layers and when you are working on an individual layer unsupported- only one remedy that tries to cover all of the problems- what is going to happen. Your body is not able to heal everything at once. As a result, in the process of trying, is going to hit some blocks that are the other layers and it is going to try to highlight other problems that need addressing as well. So in this case, I can not comment on your individual case, but in general there are different ways to work around this, one is to change the frequency of the remedy, and probably to address the emerging problem, like in your case the lesional layer( that is your neck and pathology) with remedies. This is when working with several layers at the time pays off as you are covering different angles of the case and this tends to solve this problems.

I recently had some benefit from carcinosin, using twice a day for fatigue and insomnia for a couple weeks. I was so excited it helped, so I reduced to once every week or two. And then I stopped. I felt so worried and unsure about continuing it, though I do have other problems like headaches. So thanks for the assurance about its gentleness. I feel encouraged to try it a little longer now, to see if I might get any more benefit from it.

For obvious reasons I can not advise on individual cases but in the way that I work, when you are taking care of something chronic, twice a week ( or one every 3 days) is a good pace of repetition for a remedy. If you have benefit from a remedy, there is no need to feel worried about it, stop it when is not helping or things are changing and you are not sure how to proceed.

Hello Cristina
I recently had a consult with a Homeopath for the first time in my life as my health anxiety has deteriorated. I was sent a remedy which I have since learnt is Carcinosin. I haven’t started to take it as yet as I don’t understand how a remedy made from breast cancer tissue can be of any benefit to anyone. I have a rare genetic cancer syndrome and all of the anxiety that comes with having such a condition. I simply do not understand the purpose of carcinosin.
Kind Regards
Melinda

I think you should ask those questions to your homeopath, trust is important in your healing process and I am sure your homeopath would be very happy to discuss all of that with you. If you read my article, you can grasp a bit of the Carcinosin Picture and it will answer the question of why this remedy can be of benefit to some people.

Thank you for this article. Would Carcinosin be a first line in Banerji protocols treatment for autism more specifically Asperger's Syndrome? I have ordered their book of protocols but delivery will take long time.. I am teared up between this nosode and Tuberculinum as my child has traits for both nosodes. Would be great to hear your view about Tuberculinum as well. My son was treated by homeopath for two years but we didn't get far as he still has massive explosive anger tantrums and i would like to try Banerji protocols. Thanks very much.

Hello Edita,

Autism is a complex disease and my advice is that you look for a homeopath to take his case and guide you. This condition needs multiple remedies and moving through layers, one remedy alone is not sufficient.

Hi Cristina, I have been using Carcinosin, and have been told that I need to use it very very sparingly (in other words, not to repeat often). Even though I do use it sparingly, I feel like I need it more. Is there any harm in using Carcinosin more frequently, provided that you are receiving benefit from it, and are not having any aggravations?

Reply
Cristina
8/21/2021 08:40:18 am

Carcinosin can be repeated like any other remedy, there is so much fear around this remedy! I don't really understand where this concept of "using it sparingly" comes from.
In my practice I tend to use it for a chronic problem 200c twice weekly. The Banerjies use it like this or 30c every other day. Just imagine! As long as the remedy is helping, then there is no problem at all.
Also, bear in mind that what most misunderstand as aggravations, there are surfacing layers, or aspects of the case that come to the surface and need to be address. The remedies will not give you anything because they do not contain anything material, they are based on energetic principles. The problem is of course understanding the action of the remedy or what is trying to say! and this is when in chronic cases you need to understand what is happening. Think of remedies as your friends, always!

I hope this is helpful!

Hi Cristina, I was curious about what you said about Tuberculinum and its relationship with Carcinosin. Can you say more about this? Do you find that patients often need both? I was getting some good results with Carcinosin, but unfortunately, its action ended, and my homeopath now has moved me to Tuberculinum.

Reply
Cristina
10/24/2021 05:49:50 pm

Sure, this two remedies are related and follow well one after another. Yes, often Carcinosin clears the layer and Tuberculinum or tubercular remedies jump up in the case. But if you are working with a homeopath, it would be best you discuss this with her/him. They know your case well and I am sure they will be able to explain the relationship of those two remedies in your personal case.

Hello Cristina! First of all..thank you so much for sharing VERY valuable info! :)

I would like to ask you: Would you consider safe and prudent to add Carcinosin to the treatment WHILE taking Tuberculinum? OR would you better suggest to use ONLY one nosode at a time- Meaning I'll finish using Tuberculinum, and then, and only then add Carcinosin? (Currently using Tuberculinum, once a month- will do this for 6 months. Before, it was taken one dose every 14 days)

Thank you so much for helping us all!

Cristina
2/1/2022 12:39:50 pm

I work with more than one Nosode at a time and that is fine. If you have been using the Tub for a while it should be easy for you to be able to track another remedy on top and it should be fine. The problem for self prescribers is to understand what the remedy is doing that is why I do not advise to work with more than two layers at the time if you are not a homeopath. I work with 6-7 layers often but I track every remedy in the case to each layer.

Thank you so much for your very valuable, and appreciated opinion! I think I'll add it to the protocol that's being taken. Will try to stay as vigilant as possible. :)

I was thinking of another possibility for Anticipatory anxiety would be Gelsemium..but it does not cover as many aspects as Carcinosin! Would you consider Gelsemium valuable to the "Suppresion" aspect of Carcinosin? Or another aspect of carcinosin?

Thank you again!
