METHODS AND RESULTS: A multi-disciplinary Middle-Eastern Research Group in Integrative Oncology (MERGIO) was established in six countries. Authors independently searched Medline database for articles in Arabic, Hebrew, French, and Turkish using oncology and CAM-related keywords. Articles were recorded according to the first author’s affiliation with an academic or clinical institution in the Middle East.
RESULTS: We identified 143 articles on CAM and cancer care that had been published in12 Middle-Eastern countries. Eighty-five articles were directly related to cancer supportive care.
The latter included studies on the prevalence of CAM use by patients with cancer, aspects related to of doctor-patient communication, ethics and regulation, psychosocial aspects of CAM, CAM safety and quality assurance, studies of CAM education for health care providers, and ethno-botanical studies and reviews.
Twenty-eight articles referred to clinical research on supportive care, and the use of specific CAM modalities that included acupuncture, anthroposophic medicine, dietary and nutritional therapies herbal medicine, homeopathy, mind-body medicine, shiatsu, therapeutic touch, and yoga.
CONCLUSIONS: CAM-related supportive care research is prevalent in the Middle East, a fact that may serve as a basis for future multinational-multidisciplinary research work in supportive care in oncology.

Homeopathic remedies have long been integrated in conventional treatment of cancerous patients. I have experienced it during about the last 4 years of practicing Hahnemannian or Classical Homeopathy on several cases in Tehran.
A patient with stage four breast cancer that was expected to pass away after 6 months, is still living after 7 years through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, diet correction and homeopathy and physical therapy.

Dear Folks
Hi. Hope you are well today and everyday. I have been healing patients that suffered from various conditions including psychosomatic disorders like diabetes mellitus, chronic pain syndrome and other chronic conditions, effectively during the last 5 years.
More than 2000 patients have taken proper remedies and have experienced remarkable results; more inner calmness, more energy, coping much better with environmental stresses besides improvement of their physical symptom.
Classical Homeopathy can support almost all patients effectively globally.
