摘要: The Canova Method (CM) is a homeopathic medicine indicated for the treatment of patients with cancer and pathologies that involve depressed immune system, such as AIDS. This product composed dilutions Aconitum napellus, Arsenicum album (arsenic trioxide), Bryonia alba, Lachesis muta venom Thuya occidentalis. It stimulates system by activating macrophages. Activated macrophages stimulate lymphocytes so they increase their cytotoxic action in response to tumoral growth or infection. Given CM accelerates activity lymphocytes, we evaluated genotoxic effects induced human lym- phocytes treated this medication vitro. Structural numerical chromosomal aberrations were scored assessment effects, while variation mitotic index was considered monitor cellular toxicity. cultivated 24, 48 72 h following final concentrations medicinal composite CM: 4, 8 12%.
