Homeopathic remedy Carcinosin - the chronic people pleaser

Making remedies

In Homeopathy remedies are made from many different substances - plants, animals, minerals, medications, imponderables and disease tissue. This is a pretty weird thing to get your head around…that we would make remedies from disease tissue!

This is until you understand that the remedies are both diluted and succussed (vigoursly shaken) to the point that there are no medicinal molecules present in remedies potentised to a 12c and above. What makes the remedies so potent, is that the energetic resonance of the original substance is not only retained but made more potent and more bioavailable to the body through the dilution and succussion process. This is exactly what helps the body, mind & soul come back into a state of balance - the matching of the resonance of the potentised remedy with the resonance of the imbalance in the person.

All of this background about potentising remedies is leading me somewhere - to the fact that this remedy is made from the disease tissue of breast cancer. It’s freaky right? Why would we give this remedy to someone? I mean how gross is that! But it’s an AMAZING remedy and one which is used frequently in my practice when the picture fits.

When given it can truly give someone back their individuality, their autonomy and self direction and give integrity over their own life. The results are truly mind boggling!

You can be anything - but most of all you MUST be kind

Although this remedy has been around for some time (the late 1950s) , it wasn’t until Micklem published a compendium in 1988 that this trusty remedy started to be recognised and used by more and more Homeopaths.

Homeopaths started to see a certain biotype turning up in their clinics who needed this remedy and the one defining feature that they would see in the patient was that they would often be chronically suppressed - be chronic people pleasers or be suffering from being so very nice.

You’ve often heard when someone is diagnosed with cancer that it seems ‘so unfair’, how could it happen to ‘someone who gives so much and is SO NICE’. Well there in lies the problem.

Carincison is a remedy that we think of for really nice, sweet, suppressed people. They often go out of their way to please other people, oftentimes at the expense of themselves or their loved ones. They have very little ‘self’ and very much its all about the other - giving and giving until finally there is a straw that breaks the camel’s back, in the form of cancer.

Love your neighbour but not yourself

There’s nothing wrong with loving your neighbour - in fact our society is built on some of these fundamental good human values. But what happens when you love your neighbour or anyone else to that matter, but you don’t love & value yourself?

Or you don’t give to yourself or regard yourself - where it all becomes about the other person and their needs and what is good for them. Whether it is a person or an organisation, you will find that the Carcionosin type will be self-sacrificial and will give and give and give until there is nothing left. They seem to have very little idea about what their own needs are and how to fulfil them. It is like the balance of the giving scales are tilted too far and they end up suffering and their body ends up giving in.

Whether it eventuates as cancer, or glandular fever or another acute illness which evolves into chronic fatigue (this is one of our leading remedies for chronic fatigue) or incessant mental mind chuntering or chronic anxiety and insomnia, the body ends up bringing to the fore the dis-ease process - the imbalance which the soul needs to heal.

The body expresses through the disease / illness what the person was suppressing. When seen in this light it can be a very beautiful process - that the innate intelligence of the body - the wisdom within brings to the person the wake up call they need in order to make change in their lives.

I have seen this again and again in my practice. One of the most powerful times I recall seeing a response from giving this remedy was in fact someone who had breast cancer. After the first dose of the remedy she reported back to me ‘I’ve realised that cancer is a disease of the soul’. I wasn’t really sure what she meant at first, but then she went on further to explain how she had taken on the energetic frequency from her own mother (who had died of breast cancer) of being incredibly self sacrificial and that the remedy had brought this to her realisation. Something she wanted to change before she handed the vibrational pattern down to her own daughter.

Patterns can be changed and worked with once they are no longer suppressed in the subconscious mind, but are brought to the surface to the conscious mind to be worked with.

Deep sensitivity and no boundaries

Sensitive hearts - the Carcinosin constitutional homeopathic remedy

Deeply sensitive is somewhat an understatement. People needing this remedy have very little in the way of a buffer around them so things affect them more deeply. more profoundly than others. They must be careful what they watch on the internet as stories of war or suffering will affect them very deeply.

Harsh words or feedback or even at times gentle feedback can hit deep and they feel this very sensitively. So often so, that they can become withdrawn and become very careful about who they spend time with as one stray comment can affect them for hours.

Guilt and over responsibility is another feature and they can feel guilty very easily. They can even feel guilty for things they haven’t done and will feel responsible for the happiness of others to a detrimental degree. The layer of guilt leads to over giving - giving chronically to others and chronically pleasing others. If they’re not giving they feel guilty, they feel over=responsible nd the cycle starts again.

Carcinosin in children

I see Carcinosin in my clinic when I see a child who is TOO good - where the parents insist on behaviour that is so adult like and grown up - often better than how most adults behave. The child may either be always ill or never ill.

The children are often very precocious and very adult like for their age. They are often treated like little adults and inevitably feel the burden of this. In effect their childhood has been taken away with them having to grow up and assume so much adult responsibility and understand adult concepts too soon.

Children will often keep their bedrooms very tidy, be exceptionally kind to others and can have outbursts of rage and anger (no wonder!). They want to please their parents, (or other authority figures) they want to be high achievers and they suffer from a huge amount of anxiety - especially anxiety around being late, about family members when they are late home and about hurting other’s feelings. In a group they can feel responsible for everyone else’s feelings.

A love for animals is universal among the remedy alongside also a love of dancing and a very natural affinity for and natural inclination to be able to move and dance to the beat of music.

Equally this remedy can be used in adults or children who have suffered a very tragic or abusive childhood. There may have been a severe shock and fright in childhood, the loss of a parent, sexual or physical abuse or the loss of someone close to suicide.

The compensation for this is to become a very good citizen and often withdrawn but very tidy (fastidious) and perfect. Carcinosin children will go out of their way to earn love and affection - being the perfect child.

Defining features

There are many Indicators that would lead us to prescribing this remedy and some of them are:

A past history of whooping cough or other acute fevers at an early age
History of pneumonia at an early age
Post viral fatigue from glandular fever (this is our leading remedy for this)
A history of suppression - either through lots of allopathic medications or through living conditions that suppress the person’s individual autonomy and self expression
A childhood history of a very strict and formal upbringing and the child having to be VERY GOOD and VERY well behaved
A family history of cancer especially breast cancer
Fear - prolonged and deep
Chronic mental countering (going over the same thoughts again and again and again)
Chronic insomnia (often waking at 4am)
The children can be very beautiful with long eyelashes and can have all sorts of blinking and ticks
Childhood trauma, abuse, neglect

Healing the Carcinosin person

Overcoming sensitivity and loss - connecting with others

The Homeopathic consult in and of itself is always brilliant at helping people see where their life patterns and imbalances are. For the Carcinosin person it is a matter of suppress or express. Where before they have been suppressed they can now express.

Before where they have had the weight of the world upon their shoulders they can now be free….to live a life that is true to themselves - to the expression of their own soul - to the expression of their own needs - to the expression of their unique individuality that they are given.

After the remedy there is more robustness - a feeling of a bigger buffer around themselves, so that even though they are still sensitive, kind, caring people, it is in balance and no longer pathologically detreminental.

We live in a very Carcinosin time - where there is so much suppression and so much uniformity and so little individuality. If you don’t go along with the main stream or the status quo you are shamed and blamed out of existence. It is here is this epoc, in this time that indeed this remedy is needed more than ever to help. To help people be true to their INDIVIDUALITY, their life expression and to lead and live the lives that they came to the earth to live.

This remedy is truly life changing.
