Indian researchers presented the case of a 52‑year‑old female patient diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic cancer involving the lungs and bone marrow, confirmed by PET‑CT. Baseline symptoms included severe chest pain with heaviness, pain in the right parietal region, breathlessness, loss of appetite, weakness, and haemoglobin (Hb) of 6 g/dL.
The patient underwent three to four sessions per day (each ~30 minutes) of Copper Pendulum Therapy over a total of 35 days, without concurrent chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In case you are unfamiliar with this modality, here are a video and an article about it.
Sequential chest X‑rays demonstrated a ~40% improvement in lung field clarity and a ~45% reduction in pleural effusion. Hb levels improved from 6 to 8.2 g/dL and stabilised. EEG analysis revealed improved rhythmic stability in alpha and beta frequency bands, correlating with enhanced neurological function. Symptomatically, pain reduced, breathing improved, and appetite began to return.
The authors concluded that this case suggests that Copper Pendulum Therapy may contribute to measurable clinical, radiological, haematological, and neurological improvements in advanced cancer patients. Larger
studies are warranted to validate these findings.
No, I disagree, “larger studies” of copper pendulum therapy would be a mistake!
The authors report that “the patient had no concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other conventional anticancer treatment at the time of presentation.” This wording implies that such treatments had been administered before presentation. If so, this could explain the outcome. Alternatively, we might have here a rare instance of spontaneous remission.
In any case, I suggest that the Copper Pendulum Therapy had nothing to do with the reported results. The authors, however, are convinced of the opposite which does not surprise me: they are affiliated to the Bharat Copper Therapy and Research Center (BCTRC), Nagpur, India. Despite this fact, they declare ” no conflict of interest”.
In case you wonder which journal pollutes the medical literature with such vile nonsense, it is the “International Journal of Scientific Development and Research“. It claims that it “aims to explore advances in research pertaining to applied, theoretical and experimental Technological studies. The goal is to promote scientific information interchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working in and around the world.”
Really, “advances in research”?
More likely advances in pseudoscience, if you ask me.
