An unconventional approach in the treatment of canine peritoneal mesothelioma with ultra-diluted Viscum album: Case report

Abstract

Mesothelioma is a diffuse and primary neoplasm, arising from mesothelial cells that line the cavitary organs such as peritoneum, rarely found in dogs, it is aggressive and has a high mortality rate and no effective treatment with low therapeutic response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy: (1) Background: The objective of the clinical study was to use ultra-diluted Viscum album in monotherapy, analyzing the staging and anti-metastatic potential after splenectomy. The therapeutic methodology according to the Law of Similar described in Homeopathy was through the combination of ultra-diluted V.a in combined potencies. (2) Methods: The objective of the clinical study was to use ultra-diluted V.a in monotherapy, analyzing the staging and anti-metastatic potential after splenectomy. The therapeutic methodology according to the Law of similar described in Homeopathy was through the combination of ultra-diluted Viscum album in combined potencies by subcutaneous route. (3) Results: The results showed that the combined ultra-diluted Viscum album promoted modification of the cystic structures and staged the abdominal mass, preventing metastases for 30 months. (4) Conclusions: We conclude that although peritoneal mesothelioma is an extremely serious neoplasm, with high metastatic potential, the ultra-diluted Viscum album protocol increased survival without the use of any chemotherapeutic substance.
