'A recent study published in the February 2010 issue of the International Journal of Oncology has documented that homeopathic remedies applied to breast cancer cells caused significant cell death, while resulting in nearly indiscernible harm to normal breast cells. The finding cannot be explained by a placebo effect, as it was a lab experiment on cell lines, results were reached using automated equipment, and proper controls were included.
'The study, done by the respected MD Anderson Cancer Center, was entitled, "Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted remedies on breast cancer cells"(1). Lead author, Moshe Frenkel MD, stated,
We felt that homeopathy needed to be tested in the same way that we test new chemotherapeutic drugs. We were quite impressed to find that homeopathic remedies have similar effects to chemotherapy on breast cancer cells but without affecting normal cells, a very exciting finding. As far as we know, this is the first study that evaluated the effect of homeopathic remedies on breast cancer cells.
'Modern automated equipment was used to test the effects of four homeopathic remedies on two adenocarcinoma cell lines. Controls of normal breast cells and cells treated only with solvent were done. Results were presented in graph form, a method often used in pre-clinical trials of drugs. The methodology is similar to testing done on paclitaxel (generic for Taxol®).'
