Nosodes are ultra-dilute preparations made from diseased tissues or organisms used in homeopathy
since 1830, more frequently used since 1880. Carcinosin is a commonly used nosode prepared over
100 years ago from cancer tissues in the last part of the nineteenth century, of which the exact
scientific information on the histopathological characterization of the source material is not
available. The current therapeutic indications of Carcinosin have been largely empirical and clinically
derived. In such a scenario, understanding the paramount importance of the Cancer nosode, it’s
revamping in the light of current scientific knowledge has been identified by the author. Specific
cancerous tissue samples were sourced for nosode preparation. Identified pieces of tissue were
histopathologically diagnosed, thoroughly washed, quantified and triturated with powder of
Saccharum lactis to prepare decimal potencies, as per standard method suggested in the
Homoeopathy Pharmacopoeia of India. Centesimal potencies were prepared using electromechanical
potentizer, documenting the force parameters. The Cancer nosodes from specific cancer tissues were
prepared in a systematic manner, which could be used for research as well as in clinical practice. The
author has attempted scientific preparation of new Cancer nosodes making them available to the
profession. On similar lines, more of cancer tissues could be explored for making other nosodes. (AU)
