My family, friends , in consultation with my Dr ,suggested to see Homeopathy Doctor .I agreed since I thought "WHY NOT give it TRY ,since my Life span Is limited as survival is remote with my type of GBM Type IV ,from the very beginning .
So , I agreed to consult Homeopathy Dr Pratip Banerji ,who assured me that I will get much relief & I can take alternate Homeopathy medicine which will not cause any harm to my health conditions .
I started my Homeopathy course from November. 2011 end ,but I can vouch that After the Homeopathy medicine prescribed by Dr Banerji ,I am much feeling better ,since I had taken MRI (contrast )in February 18 th 2012 & May 25 th & 18 August Reports when comparing the same .
My Tumor has been reduced ,I am feeling much better now ,so far .
