In the Ring of Fire, Challenges and Lessons in Homeopathic Practice
An essay on some of the homeopathic challenges and lessons learnt in the process of treating side effects of conventional cancer treatments within the Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic in San Francisco.
This essay is an attempt to describe the homeopathic challenges and lesson learnt in the process of treating side effects of conventional cancer treatments.
Here is how it began: In 2007 I took on the challenge of working at a clinic, Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic serving women with cancer, offering alternative complementary therapies.
The initial challenge was to be in the face of 'terminal' illness prognosis. Friends and colleague frequent reaction: Cancer? Isn't that depressing? The reality is that seeing patients in the clinic is less of an emotional burden then seeing similar pathology in private practice. The clinic is a supportive community of patients and practitioners alike: a greenhouse to a budding practitioner.
The comfort and confidence I gained in the cancer clinic spilled over to my private practice, which evolved in the same direction, namely treating cancer patients mostly in conjunction with allopathic treatments. Most patients I see seek homeopathic services or are being referred, following chemotherapy, radiation or surgery, hoping to recover from acute or chronic debilitating side effects from cancer treatment.
