The profuse bleeding which seems to threaten women with death can usually be stopped promptly with small doses of Phosphorus, Hamamelis, Trillium, Millefolium, Thlaspi, and others, and then the growth can gradually be reduced to the vanishing point by the indicated remedies, such as Hydrastis, Hydrastinum, Conium, Calcarea iodata, Silica, Aurum mur. nat., or whatever may be indicated by the symptoms. Every gynaecologist should be acquainted with the wonderful results which homoeopathy has achieved in the treatment of women, and all gynaecologists, both homoeopathic and allopathic, should be familiar with the teachings of Sir Arbuthnot Lane, who is truly one of the greatest benefactors of mankind. His eminence will be recognised only by future generations.
Lane pioneered internal fixation of displaced fractures, procedures on cleft palate, and colon resection and colectomy to treat "Lane's disease"—now otherwise termed colonic inertia, which he identified in 1908—which surgeries were controversial but advanced abdominal surgery.
In the early 1920s, as an early advocate of dietary prevention of cancer, Lane met medical opposition, resigned from British Medical Association, and founded the New Health Society, the first organisation practising social medicine. Through newspapers and lectures, sometimes drawing large crowds, Lane promoted whole foods, fruits and vegetables, sunshine and exercise: his plan to foster health and longevity via three bowel movements daily.
