A couple refs. Probably provers did not develop cancer--at least find no ref
to in in rfworks at least (arsenic/proving/cancer).
This in MMP, but my guess is that it is a toxicological sx (not
differentiated from proving in MMP:
" Cancerous ulcer which rendered it necessary to amputate the limb."
Arsenic has clear toxicological connection with cancer. And homeopathic
association with it-- connection appears experiential and not based on
proving--though cachexia of cancer very similar to ars proving sx, for
example (MM Pura:
"She becomes much emaciated, with earthy complexion, blue rings round
the eyes, great weakness in all the limbs, disinclination for all work, and
constant desire to rest (after 8 days)."
Best,

Arsenic is a very toxic substance that is found in food, water and household
items. Tobacco smoke, laundry detergent, bone meal, sea food, beer and even
drinking water are a few of the items arsenic can be consumed from.
Headaches, confusion, sleepiness, and even convulsions can be the effects of
arsenic poisoning. Vomiting, diarrhea, kidney, liver and lung problems can
occur, including death in extreme cases. Here is how to avoid and cure
arsenic poisoning.
Arsenic is found in many different places. Arsenic is used to poison pests
such as rats and mice, and can be used to kill any living thing. Arsenic is
found in tiny amounts in many things that we consume. Some food items that
may contain arsenic are seafood, water, bone meal, dolomite, kelp, table
salt, and beer.
If you work in a job that produces any kind of pesticide, agricultural
insecticide or spraying of any of these, you are at risk of arsenic
poisoning. Other jobs that are at risk are copper smelting, mining, sheep
dipping and metallurgical industries. Continued exposure to arsenic builds
up in the system and there is an accumulated effect. The more you are
exposed the more serious are the consequences.
Arsenic poisoning is usually determined by a hair analysis. If arsenic is
found in the hair follicles it will stay there for years. If it is in your
hair follicles it is usually in your body as well. Arsenic is also deposited
in the fingernails and skin.

of cancer. The types of cancers that are found in workers that are regularly
exposed to arsenic are: skin cancer, scrotal cancer, liver cancer, cancer of
the lymphatic system, and lung cancer.
===========
Symptoms of arsenic poisoning begin with headaches, confusion and
drowsiness. As the poisoning develops, convulsions and changes in fingernail
pigmentation may occur. When the poisoning becomes acute, symptoms may
include diarrhea, vomiting, blood in the urine, cramping muscles, hair loss,
stomach pain, and more convulsions. The organs of the body that are usually
affected by arsenic poisoning are the lungs, skin, kidneys, and liver. The
final result of arsenic poisoning is coma or death.
If you suspect that you are being exposed to arsenic your diet needs to
include lots of sulfur. Sulfur can eliminate some of the arsenic from the
body. The foods that contains sulfur are; eggs, onions, beans, legumes, and
garlic. Sulfur can be bought and taken in tablet form also. The amino acid
that provides sulfur is cysteine. Check with your doctor before taking any
supplements.
Fiber can also help to leech the arsenic from your system by attaching to it
and washing it out. Include a lot of fiber in your diet by eating whole
grains and cereals, fruits and vegetables.
If someone accidentally ingests arsenic administer 5 charcoal tablets
immediately. Take 5 more charcoal tablets 15 minutes later and again every
fifteen minutes. Go immediately to an emergency room. Charcoal tablets
should be a part of every medicine cabinet for any type of poisoning.
Chelation therapy is an option if you have arsenic poisoning. Chelation
therapy is used to remove toxic metals such as cadmium, arsenic, lead and
mercury from our bodies. Metals and minerals can clog our systems and can be
removed with chelation therapy. The procedure has been done for forty years
in the United States and is safe. Chelation therapy is a series of
injections of ethylenediaminetetra aacetic acid (EDTA) that is done in a
doctors office.
You can also do chelation therapy at home with over the counter chelation
formulas bought at a health food store or a drug store. Most are made with
alfalfa, garlic, fiber, turin and selenium. Alfalfa liquid or tablets, taken
three times daily with meals, detoxifies the liver and chelates substances
from the body. Coenzyme Q(10) improves circulation of the blood which allows
the toxic substances to leave the body. L-Lysine, an amino acid, detoxifies
harmful heavy metals from our systems. Rutin and apple pectin can be taken
to bind with unwanted toxic metals and remove them from the body through the
intestinal tract.
When doing any chelation therapy, make sure that you replace lost essential
minerals by taking alfalfa, iron, kelp and zinc in addition to your regular
multi-vitamin.

Search for cancer, poisoning, arsenicum did not pan out in referenceworks at
least.
Bernoville Cancer
that I am mentioning that are not in the repertory as far as I can find. One
is Lac caninum. You will be surprised what Lac can. will do in those cases
where the breast has been amputated. Many years ago when I was a student in
Hahnemann College, I attended Dr. Kent's clinic. He very frequently left the
whole thing in my charge. A patient came in with a small, painful lump in
one breast. There were no symptoms apparent until we got into the history,
then we found this: Frequently she had been at another hospital, a few
months before she came to us. Through the over - zealous acts of a surgeon
of great fame who attended, her breast was amputated and all the glands
taken out - a very fine operation, for which he demanded $1500, and took her
husband's little plumbing business away from him to pay that bill. The
interesting thing to us is that a few months later the other breast began to
get a cancerous condition much the same way - a lump appeared, with all the
same symptoms. She refused to be operated, and I assured her that I did not
think she would have to be. I saw Lac. can. in the symptomatology and Lac
can. was given in the 1M. potency. The result was astonishing. In a few
months that thing had disappeared, the woman's health was perfect, and two
years later she came in periodically to show us that the cure was effective.
You can imagine her emotions when she compared what we had done and what the
surgeon had done. She wanted to pay us a great deal more than we asked. We
insisted that she pay the small price that the clinic demanded of everybody,
and assured her that as physicians, we could take nothing else. She could
hardly get over the fact that for a few cents she was able to receive work
so much superior to that the great surgeon had done.
Don't forget Lac can. in those cases where first one breast is
involved, then the other. You may have to use Lycopodium or Lachesis, of
course. These are both among the list of Dr. Kent's high grade cancer
remedies.
The list is available in the repertories and I don't believe you want
me to take the time to read it. I mentioned Silicea. There is Arsenicum,
Cadmium, Mercurius cor., Phosphorus. Kali bi. is more often indicated in the
true stomach ulcer; I have not found it markedly indicated in the true
cancer, but if related it undoubtedly would come in;
========
forms in the body, you cannot ignore the pathogenesis of Arsenic. It has
everything that goes with cancer, but it is more especially indicated, in my
experience, in the gastric, intestinal and skin cases; in the gastric and
intestinal cases, Arsenic is a banner remedy. You all know the indications:
they are > by warm drinks and < by cold drinks, and of course they have the
weakness. Warm drinks are almost the only thing they can tolerate - the very
reverse of Phosphorus, and Phosphorus is more likely to give haemorrhagic
tendencies.
