Answer 1

A few ideas to get truely cure the issue.

Tumor
Definition
A swelling. An abnormal formation of parasitic, non-inflammatory cells or tissue arising from the cells of the host, yet progressive and independent in their growth. Tumors can be malignant or non-malignant, they can be fast-growing or slow-growing, and they can be in many parts of the body, such as the lymphatic glands or nodes, the urinary and genital areas, or the abdominal structure.

Brain Tumors: The most common tumors of the brain are the meningiomas, derived from the coverings of the brain, and the gliomas. Sarcomas and cancers do occur but are almost always derived from tumors in other parts of the body, for example, the breast and the bowel. Tumors of any size and duration produce certain general symptoms indicative of an increase in the intra cranial pressure, namely, headache, vomiting and optic neuritis or swelling of the optic nerve just as it enters the eyeball. Dizziness is another common symptom, and in the late stages mental changes may occur. In tumors of the frontal lobe mental changes are sometimes the earliest indication of the disease process. Tumors of the temporal lobe often produce a dreamy state, sometimes associated with hallucinations of smell. The position of the tumor may often be determined by noting the muscular and sensory abnormalities of various parts of the body and correlating the findings with what is known regarding the localization of function in the brain."

The brain must be properly nourished and kept free of inorganic materials that can cause this tremendous organ to malfunction.

Cause
The inability to eliminate unhealthy material.

Hundreds of women have wondered why they have tumors and cysts in their bodies. The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system. When patients go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet and take the female corrective formulas [Nu Fem], they receive nourishment which is high in potassium. Miraculous things happen to them. For even faster results, you can add to each cup of herb tea six to ten drops of elderberry tincture or six to ten drops of black walnut tincture, both of which are extremely high in potassium.

Cysts and tumors are like leeches, but they stay in places where there is a body deficiency. As soon as the body is balanced and well, the cysts and tumors have to go, because the material is too healthy for them to live on.

This is why so many patients brought Dr. Christopher cysts and tumors in various sizes that they had expelled from their bodies. There is not enough food, in the form of dying or deficient body materials, so they just decide to leave.

There are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium.

When cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating.

15.Chaparral: The Kelly Research Foundation in Grapevine, Texas has been active in cancer research. The following is a statement concerning chaparral by Dr. William Kelly:

"I've found that chaparral is very effective in 7% of the cases of malignancy. The action is not as many researchers believe--a specific activity against the cancer cell, but rather an indirect one. In about 7% of the cases of malignancy, the pancreas and the liver as well as other tissue of the body are so congested with poisons such as medications, sprays, drugs, metallic poisons, and pollutants, that these tissues cannot carry on normal activity. This is basically an antagonist to the enzyme and vitamin and mineral metabolism that goes on in the body. In cancer specifically, we find that the pancreatic enzymes are locked with the antagonists and are rendered totally ineffective. By chelating these antagonists from the pancreatic enzymes, we find that normal activity takes place and the person's own cancer defenses take over and destroy the tumor in malignant conditions. It has been found further and should be seriously investigated by the Federal Government that Chaparral works well in chelating the toxins out of the bodies of those who have been drug addicts. We recommend taking two Chaparral tablets before each meal. This seems to be an effective way of chelating antagonists from the body that otherwise could not be accomplished."

16.Cancer - Tumors and Cleansing the Body: Just a word about cancer. It is a systematic disease. It depends on filth in the bowel and the blood stream. Our understanding of cancer is different from that of the surgeon's. We see the body being able to "clean up its act" and stop recycling the same old toxins around and around in the body. All channels of elimination (including the skin) must be functioning. The food intake must be pure.

Even though a person is operated upon for a cancerous tumor, there is no guarantee that the cancer will not return simply because the cause was not studied.

"Cancer" is a frightening word. The one we use is "cell deterioration." This explains the process in the body more clearly than the word, "cancer."

Sometimes, during an operation for a tumor, blood spills over into the rest of the body. This blood contains some of the tumor cells. The doctors sometimes say, "Oh, the body will take care of those." Mendelsohn suggests that surgery would be unnecessary if the body could take care of the cells by itself.

The medical alternative to cancer surgery, chemotherapy, presents side effects that sound like horrors out of an old Frankenstein movie.

Our program, "The Incurables," is a safe, nontoxic method to restore health and strength. It is not as easy as surgery, however, it involves retraining the little tyrants known as the tastebuds.

Remember the old Biblical statement from the Old Testament, "If the eye offends you, pluck it out!" This phrase seems to be the general rule in most allopathic treatment from tumors to tonsils. We now view the old medical practice of bloodletting (to let out the bad blood) to be primitive. How much more primitive it is to exclude an entire organ from the body as punishment for its diseased condition. An automobile will not function without a carburetor. A faulty carburetor can be replaced, rebuilt, or cleaned out and the car will run again. The design of the auto makes it necessary for each part of the engine to be integral. Parts cannot expect to be ripped out of the system and still have good driving possibilities. Every human organ is functional and contributes to the smooth operation of the entire organism. It's erroneous to think that removal of an organ is standard procedure. Surgery is no replacement for cleansing and rebuilding the body. We need to work with Nature instead of trying to second guess it.

17.Tumors on the Pineal and/or Pituitary Glands: From a letter to Dr. Christopher about a person in a coma. At the end of his answer he mentions that this same program can be used successfully with someone with tumors on the pineal and/or pituitary glands. Here is the question: If a person were in a coma caused by some hemorrhaging in the brain stem area, how might this be approached herbally?

Dr. Christopher's answer: We have an herbal formula we call "bone, flesh and cartilage" that has been used successfully in these types of conditions. Make a tea of the following herbs: six parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, Two parts wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), one part lobelia, one part scullcap herb, six parts of comfrey root, three parts walnut bark, three parts gravel root . Soak the combined teas in distilled water (at the rate of one ounce of combined herbs to each pint of distilled water), then soak four to six hours, simmer slowly thirty minutes, strain and then simmer the liquid down to one half its volume and add one fourth vegetable glycerine (if desired). Example: one gallon of tea simmered (not boiled) down to two quarts and add one pint of glycerine.

Soak flannel, cotton or any white material other than synthetics--never use synthetics. Wrap the fomentation (soaked cloth) around the head area (like a nightcap), tied under chin to hold in place, also down the spine to the shoulders. The fomentation down the spine should be about four or five inches wide. Put a shower cap over the head and a piece of wax paper, oiled silk or plastic down the spine area. Keep this fomentation on the area approximately twelve hours each day, either during sleeping hours or during the day--whichever is more convenient. Drink 1/4 cup of finished concentrated tea with three fourths cup of distilled water three or more times a day. Do this entire program six days a week, week after week until healed.

This routine has been used with cases of tumors on the pineal and/or pituitary glands, and these tumors have decreased--in one case over 65 percent in six weeks, then over another month was completely gone. This herbal formula will aid in rebuilding the hemorrhaging area with surprising results.

18.Juices: Carrot, spinach, pineapple.

19.Organic Potassium: Cancerous tumors have a very difficult time growing when there is the presence of organic potassium in the body, so the tinctures of black walnut or elderberry or any other foods high in potassium can be helpful here, providing that the bowel is in good condition so that proper assimilation can take place.

20.Dr. Christopher's Glandular Formula and Dr. Christopher's Red Clover Combination and Breast Tumors: When there is any problem with the breast, and this should be noticed early, we use the fomentation of 3 parts mullein and one part lobelia over the affected area. It may be taken internally as well. Many Indian tribes have used a fomentation of poke root externally to draw out the cancer. As with all cancers, they begin in the blood stream and radiate out to other parts of the body where they are manifested. The Red Clover Combination can be used to purify the bloodstream, the nutrient transport system of the body. Cysts and tumors will not grow in an atmosphere where there is enough potassium. Elderberry tincture can be taken for potassium increase along with foods that are high in potassium


Testimonial
1.Comfrey: Dr. Charles MacAllister, M.D., was interested in the use of comfrey as a healing agent. He had written a paper in the 1896 edition of the British Surgical Journal, Lancet. In it, he gave his philosophy concerning the bloodstream and irregular cell growth. Dr. MacAllister wanted to look up his paper and noticed an article in the same issue by a Professor William Thompson, President of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Thompson recorded a case of a man who had been diagnosed as having a malignant tumor on his face. The patient had undergone surgery of the palate in an attempt to remove the cancer.

A month later, the cancer returned. This time it ran rampant throughout the patient's head. They gave up on cutting it out. It had gone too far, and they sent him home. Three months later he returned to Thompson's office and was examined. Thompson noted that the cancer had completely disappeared. The patient told Dr. Thompson that he had been applying comfrey poultices to the swelling and that it had gradually disappeared. The patient had a custom-made palate to fill in the hole left by surgery of the hard palate. Thompson states in the report that although he knows nothing of the use of comfrey, he does not believe that it would remove a sarcomatous tumor.

MacAllister was inspired by that article of Dr. Thompsons and began to wonder if there was actually anything in comfrey that would control or stabilize cell growth. He began an extensive study of comfrey although he had never before heard of its use as a medicine. Beginning with old books on materia medica (substances used medicinally), MacAllister found that after the mid-nineteenth century, comfrey or Symphytum was referred to as obsolete as a healing aid. He then began to search through the ancient and medieval herbals which told the history of the use of comfrey. There were several varieties of the plant used, one was known to Turks and Saracens for use in healing battle wounds.

Answer 2

It is possible that your sister's brain tumour is a secondary tumour of the original liver tumour. Brain tumours can be halted from growing with the radiation treatments. The chemo is for the liver tumour, which is a normal treatment . In some cases they combine the two. Certain chemo agents make the radiation more effective. But with brain tumours radiation alone is normal the treatment prescribed. To those who say that the brain tumour is caused by the chemo, that is not the case. Usually it means that the cancer has spread to the brain. Radiation on the other hand can cause cancers in the bones in the areas that have been radiated
