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.
