This situation helps in selecting Carcinosin by indicating that the case might have an underlying miasm or a deeper constitutional issue that requires a remedy with a broader scope. When individual remedies each cover some symptoms but none comprehensively address the entire symptom picture, Carcinosin’s extensive coverage and depth can address the underlying imbalance that other remedies fail to cover fully.

It highlights that the patient’s vital force might need a comprehensive remedy that can address complex, intertwined symptoms—something Carcinosin is particularly adept at, especially when there’s a familial or personal history of cancer or significant suppression of emotions.

Carcinosin was first introduced as a palliative remedy for the treatment of malignancy by Dr. J. T. KENT, Compton Burnett, and Dr. J . H . CLARKE.
The credit for bringing carcinosin into the limelight goes to Dr. W. Lee Templeton & Dr. Donald M. Foubister.

Dr. Templeton was the dean of the faculty of homeopathy and director of provings at Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. He carried out a proving of carcinosin in around 1952-53 by dividing provers into two groups. Group- I ,consisted 4 provers & 4 controls,Group-II consisted 5 provers & 4 controls.The drug was proved in 30 and 200 potencies.

Dr. Foubister was a physician in charge of the children’s department at the same institute. He observed two children born to a mother who was suffering from carcinoma of breast. Both these children shared similar characteristics like café-au-lait appearance,blue sclerotics, numerous moles over the body and both suffered from insomnia. So, out of curiosity foubester investigated 200 cases in his OPD, of kids with similar appearance for a history of cancer & found that there was a strong family history of cancer, diabetes mellitus, and tuberculosis.

The report of Templeton’s proving & the results of Foubister’s clinical findings were published in the British homeopathic journal in April 1954. vol.43,i.e in the same issue.
