Homeopathy Medicine for Brain Tumor

Whether cancerous or non-cancerous (benign), a brain tumor is an abnormal growth of brain cells.

It is defined as any intracranial tumor produced by atypical and uncontrolled cell division. These tumors can develop within the brain (neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, dendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels, cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary, and pineal gland), or they can spread from cancers that are primarily found elsewhere

Though they can affect any part of the brain, primary (true) brain tumors are most frequently found in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults and the posterior cranial fossa in children.

CAUSES OF BRAIN TUMOR

However, it is clear that brain tumors are contagious and that no one can “catch” the disease from another person. The exact causes of brain tumors are unknown, and doctors rarely understand why one person develops a brain tumor and another does not.

RISK FACTORS

A primary brain tumor’s likelihood of occurrence is influenced by the following risk factors:

• Being male– In general, men are more likely than women to develop meningiomas, but brain tumors in general affect men more frequently than women.
• Race– White people are more likely than other racial groups to develop brain tumors.
• Age– Although leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, brain tumors are the second most common cancer in children, with a higher prevalence in children under the age of 8 than in older children. – The majority of brain tumors are found in people who are 70 years of age or older.
• Family history– Gliomas may be more common in family members, increasing the risk of development.

Radiation or certain chemicals :

• RadiationBrain tumor development is more likely to occur in nuclear industry workers.
• Formaldehyde– Researchers have discovered an increased risk of brain cancer in pathologists and embalmers who work with formaldehyde, but not in other types of workers exposed to the chemical.
• Vinyl chloride– The chemical vinyl chloride, which may raise the risk of brain tumors, may be present in the workplace of those who make plastics.
• Acrylonitrile– Acrylonitrile exposure could increase the risk of brain cancer in those who work in the textile and plastic manufacturing industries.

SYMPTOMS OF BRAIN TUMORS

Brain tumors may be caused by pressing on a nerve or harming a specific area of the brain, swelling of the brain, or fluid accumulation inside the skull. The symptoms of brain tumors depend on the size, type, and location of the tumor.

The majority of brain tumors present with these signs:

• (They are typically worse in the morning) Headaches
• Nausea and Vomiting
• alterations in the ability to hear, see, or speak
• Problems balancing or walking
• Modifications in personality, temperament, or attention span
• Problems with memory
• Tremors or convulsions caused by jerking or twitching of the muscles
• Arms or legs that are numb or tingly

DIAGNOSIS OF BRAIN TUMORS

• Physical examination
• CT scan
• MRI Physical scan
• PET scan
• EEG
• Spinal tap
• Biopsy
• Skull x-ray
• Angiogram
• Myelogram
• Physical exam– A doctor examines general health indicators.
• Neurologic exam– The doctor examines the eyes to look for swelling brought on by a tumor pressing on the nerve that connects the eye and the brain, as well as checking for alertness, muscle strength, coordination, reflexes, and response to pain.
• CT scan– A series of detailed images of the head are taken using an x-ray machine connected to a computer; the patient may be given an injection of a special dye to make the brain stand out in the images, which can reveal brain tumors.
• MRI– A strong magnet connected to a computer creates precise images of various body parts that can be printed and viewed on a monitor, sometimes with the aid of an injection of a special dye to highlight differences in the brain’s tissues. These images can reveal the presence of a tumor or other issue with the brain.

Other Tests:

• Angiogram– If a tumor is present, the doctor may be able to see it on the x-ray thanks to dye injected into the bloodstream, which travels into the brain’s blood vessels and makes them visible on an x-ray.
• Skull x-ray– A doctor can use an x-ray to look for changes in the skull’s bones or calcium deposits in the brain that some types of brain tumors can cause.
• Spinal tap– A spinal tap, which is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 30 minutes, involves the doctor taking a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that fills the spaces in and around the brain and spinal cord) from the spinal column. A laboratory will examine the fluid for cancer cells or other signs of problems, and the patient must lie flat for several hours following the procedure to avoid headaches.
• MyelogramAn x-ray of the spine, taken after a spinal tap to inject a special dye into the cerebrospinal fluid and tilting the patient to allow the dye to mix with the fluid, aids the physician in identifying a tumor in the spinal cord.
• BiopsyA biopsy is the process of removing tissue to look for tumor cells; a pathologist examines the removed tissue under a microscope to look for abnormal cells; a biopsy can reveal cancer, tissue changes that may indicate cancer, and other conditions; and a biopsy is the only reliable way to diagnose a brain tumor.
• Surgeonscan obtain tissue in one of three ways to search for tumor cells:

1. Needle biopsyThe doctor inserts a needle through the burr hole he just drilled into the skull and takes a sample of brain tumor tissue. – The surgeon makes a tiny incision in the scalp.
2. Stereotactic biopsyThe surgeon inserts a needle through the burr hole and withdraws a sample of tissue from the tumor using an imaging device, such as a CT or MRI, as guidance.
3. Biopsy at the same time as treatment– When performing surgery to remove the tumor, the surgeon may occasionally take a tissue sample.

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENTS FOR BRAIN TUMORS

CONIUM MACULATUM

Very helpful medication for brain tumors that cause nausea, vomiting, a foreign body sensation under the skull, a scorched feeling on top of the head, and a lump in the right half of the brain. Recommend for stumbling gait and sudden loss of strength while walking.

HELLEBORUS NIGER

Useful for brain tumors that cause confusion, headaches that end in vomiting, and the sensation that an electric shock is coursing through the brain.

KALI IODIDE

The best treatment for a brain tumor with a history of syphilis is useful for pain that is tense over the eyes and root of the nose, and the brain feels enlarged. There is a bilateral violent headache that feels like something is screwed through the sides of the head and gets worse with warmth and pressure.

THUJA OCCIDENTALIS

Given when a person feels pain as if a nail has been driven through their head, they should turn their head backwards. This medication is very effective for brain tumors with severe headaches. It is also advised for patients who are emotional, sensitive, and irritable. They also have a craving for acidic and salty foods.

CALCREA FLOURICA

When a brain tumor is hard and stony, there is a very effective treatment for it. The symptoms include a crackling noise in the head that keeps you awake at night, great depression, sparks in your eyes, brain fog, and vomiting.

CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA

Very helpful for brain tumors that cause severe headaches, a pressing feeling in the head, and a feeling of ice in the occiput.
