Any condition that involves a tumor is a concerning ailment; however, when the tumor is located in your brain, it calls for even more progressive treatment. There are several different types of brain tumors and many that are benign, but even a benign tumor in your brain can cause significant issues if left untreated. The most effective treatment plans for brain tumors incorporate traditional medical care with natural cures and alternative treatments like acupuncture, detoxification, and supplements such as vitamin C and CoQ10.
A brain tumor is generally a large mass or growth of abnormal cells that are found in your brain. According to Mayo Clinic, there are several different types of brain cancer – some of which are benign and others that are malignant. In some cases, the tumor begins in your brain while in others the growth metastasizes to your brain.
While the symptoms of a tumor vary greatly, we do know a number of indicators that may suggest the development of a brain tumor. Common symptoms include a change in the pattern of your headaches, unexplained nausea or vomiting, vision problems, loss of movement in an extremity, difficulty with balance. Problems with speech, confusion, personality or behavior changes, seizures, and hearing problems.
A balanced approach to tumor treatment is typically best, as such a plan incorporates medical supervision with effective alternative remedies. There are a number of alternative treatment options and natural cures that are effective for reducing the size of a brain tumor as well as treating the symptoms of brain cancer. Acupuncture, detoxification, and nutritional support are among the most effective natural remedies.
Mayo Clinic classifies acupuncture as a complementary treatment that may help you deal with symptoms of your brain tumor. This practice utilizes specific pressure points to relieve pain and inflammation throughout your body and may even be effective for removing toxins from your body that contribute to your illness.
The Cancer Cure Foundation also lists a number of effective alternative remedies, including detoxification. This treatment is focused on removing toxins from your body that may be causing the abnormal cell growth. You can effectively detox using a number of different options including a colon cleanse, fast, or even a coffee enema.
Vitamin C is considered an adjunctive therapy by the Cancer Cure Foundation, as it helps to balance nutrition and remove toxins from your body. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that eradicates free radicals from your body and also improves your immune system. You should take at least 75mg of vitamin C 2 to 3 times a day.
CoQ10 is another effective nutritional supplement for treating brain tumors, according to medical doctor Julius Goepp. CoQ10 is an important nutrient that helps limit cancer growth by controlling free radicals in your body. CoQ10 is also considered a “tissue-protecting antioxidant,” so it helps prevent damage and can even reverse the effects of damage in your cells.
According to our Earth Clinic readers and contributor Ted from Bangkok, Thailand, DMSO is another important treatment option. This remedy helps reduce the size of tumors as it binds to and eliminates cancerous cells. To implement this treatment, mix fully concentrated DMSO with aloe vera in a ratio of 70% to 30%. Add this to 8 ounces of water, juice, milk, or milk alternative (almond or coconut milk). Take 1 tablespoon of the mixture by mouth twice a day and eat a strictly whole food diet for at least 3 days. Keep solution in the fridge.
