"Children who grow up with dogs who wear toxic flea collars have a dramatically higher incidence of brain tumors and other cancers. Every time your kids pet the dog, they're soaking those dangerous pesticides—which include organophosphates and carbamate compounds—right up. And just think what they're doing to your pet! And most of the time, flea collars don't even work that well. You'll do a better job of preventing fleas by taking these simple precautions: • Wash your pet on a regular basis with nontoxic soap and water." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Flavopereirine (also known as PB-100), an alkaloid from the Pao pereira tree, has been used to effectively treat brain tumors and several types of cancer. The alkaloid also demonstrates antiviral properties, making it useful in the treatment of HIV and hepatitis C. Alstonine (also called BG-8), Rauwolfia vomitoria's alkaloid, has shown to be especially effective against hormone-related cancers, including breast and prostate cancer. Created by the groundbreaking research of the late Dr." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"One review of medical disorders associated with depression listed more than twenty-five causes including Cushing's, thyroid disorders, AIDS, diabetes, hepatitis, influenza, brain tumors, heart attack, Parkinson's disease, lupus, and viral pneumonia.7 Beyond drugs, anything that impairs brain function can become spellbinding. Many individuals with debilitating disorders, such as even relatively minor cases of the flu, often fail to perceive how ill and in need of help they are, and have to be encouraged to eat, drink, and otherwise take care of themselves." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, accounting for more than half of the 18,000 primary malignant brain tumors diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the National Cancer Institute. • Prolonged cell phone use may damage sperm in male users, suggests a study by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio. The discovery was made during an ongoing study of 51,000 male health professionals in the United States." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Public records show that the FDA knew about the Canadian research that showed mice fed with this oil developed fatal brain tumors. But the agency was not willing to give up the millions of dollars in "licensing fees" that the approval of Canola oil brought with it. Likewise, poisonous drugs like Aspartame, Splenda, and MSG are now hidden in the majority of the nation's bestselling manufactured foods and beverages because of the FDA approval. These drugs are more addictive than heroin, caffeine, and nicotine taken together." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "In some cases, brain tumors as large as the size of an egg have literally disappeared in this way within 24 hours. The standard approach of suppressing infection and its resultant fever among hospital patients is medical malpractice and stands responsible for the loss of millions of lives that could easily have been saved by letting nature do its job. Germs Don't Cause Cancer The germs involved in an infection become active and infectious only when physical impurities and waste matter have gathered or tissue damage has already occurred." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"The study showed that in 320 NutraSweet-fed rats there were 12 brain tumors whereas in a group of concurrent control rats which were not exposed to NutraSweet, there were no brain tumors. Being a neuropathologist, I know that spontaneous brain tumors in laboratory rats are extremely rare. The archival literature documents an incidence not exceeding 0.6%. Since the above incidence in NutraSweet-fed rats is 3.75%, this suggests that NutraSweet may cause brain tumors and certainly suggests the need for additional in-depth research to rule out that possibility . . ." - H.J. Roberts, M.D., Aspartame (Nutrasweet) - Is It Safe? (Get the book.)

"In the 1990s, manufacturers in Quincy Washington, intentionally sold toxic industrial waste to farmers as fertilizer, causing an eruption of cancers, brain tumors and pulmonary disease. Farmers in India recently started spraying their cotton and chili fields with Coca-Cola. They say it kills pests just as well as chemicals but costs less. In India, reports Vandana Shiva, tens of thousands of debt-ridden farmers have committed suicide, many by drinking pesticides. In the late 1990s, scientists investigated the phenomenon of longan trees producing fruits totally out of season." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Approximately one-third of all childhood cancers are now leukemia, and incidence of brain tumors in children rose from 2.3 per 100,000 children to 3 per 100,000 children from 1975 to 1998. Leukemia and brain cancer combined now account for approximately half of all childhood cancers. Among the toxins most frequently linked to the rising incidence of these cancers are those found in pesticides and industrial chemicals. Currently, one in every 330 American children gets cancer. Approximately 25 percent of all children who get cancer die from it." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Carlo had gained significantly more evidence indicating a risk to DNA, eye cancers, and brain tumors. Following the discovery that cell phones can cause serious health conditions, including cancer, Carlo developed a theory that low frequency cell phone signals interfere with normal cell function. He found that cells exposed to cell phone radiation caused them to go into a protective/defensive mode—similar to what occurs during the "fight or flight response"—which prevents movement of nutrients and waste products through the cellular membrane." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"One study divided thirty people who had advanced brain tumors into two groups and treated one with radiation therapy and the other with radiation therapy plus 20 mg of melatonin. After a year, only one of the sixteen (6 percent) in the radiation-only group was still alive compared to six of the fourteen (43 percent) in the radiation plus melatonin group. Reboot Your Brain Then there's melatonin's most famous use— helping to regulate sleep. Melatonin helps sets the brain's internal clock. It's terrific for jet lag and for any time that your sleep cycle is disrupted artificially." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"During the entire examination, he will assess whether you appear to be engaged in the task or distracted by depression, anxiety, or other psychiatric symptoms, and will be looking for evidence of small strokes, brain tumors, Parkinson's disease, fluid accumulation on the brain, and other conditions that may impair memory or cognition. Be warned that the doctor will also be looking to see if you behave socially appropriately or not. So if you have a ribald sense of humor, try to button it down on your first visit, even if you are someone who copes with adversity by using humor." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "During his studies, he developed a lifelong passion for histology—the microscopic study of the structure of human tissues—and set the foundation for his unprecedented observations in the fields of epilepsy, brain tumors, Huntington's disease, alcoholic delirium, syphilis (a common cause of dementia at the time), and what became known as Alzheimer's disease. At the age of twenty-four, he was hired as an asylum officer at the Stadtische Irrenstalt Mental Asylum in Frankfurt." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"In addition to those mentioned above, physical health problems that may contribute to depression include Candida or yeast infection, amino acid deficiencies, electrolyte imbalances, toxic exposure to heavy metals or chemicals, cardiopulmonary obstructive disease, brain tumors, Alzheimer's, stroke, seizure, hypertension, viral infections, diabetes, insulin resistance, and difficulty metabolizing carbohydrates. There are different degrees of depression, and its treatment has varied considerably according to trends in psychiatry, psychology, and psychopharmacol-ogy in recent decades." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Every year approximately eight thousand children under age fifteen are diagnosed with a malignant disease, most frequently leukemia and brain tumors. Environmental exposure such as to ionizing radiation, hormones, and antineoplastic agents are accepted to be contributors to these diseases. At this writing it is estimated that about 1.4 million new cases of cancer will have been diagnosed in 2007. Cancers of the prostate and breast will be the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men and women, respectively, followed by lung and colorectal cancers both in men and in women." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "It's likely laced with food additives and preservatives, including an artificial sweetener linked to all kinds of health problems, from allergies to behavior problems, brain tumors, neurological diseases, and cancer. As you multitask in the kitchen, you make yourself a sandwich for lunch, again with foods loaded with additives and preservatives including nitrates, antibiotics, and synthetic hormones. You then wrap it in plastic that contains vinyl chloride, known to cause cancer in the brain, liver, and lungs." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Alzheimer's, Huntington disease, brain tumors, seizures and learning and emotional disabilities. A pregnant woman consuming excitotoxins risks damaging the brain of her unborn child. This is thought to be one of the major causes, along with mercury from vaccinations, of the increase in learning disabilities and autism among children. MSG has been used by food companies for about 50 years. Reactions vary from person to person. They intensify when one has not been ingesting it for several weeks." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"This kill rate was over twice that of l,3-bis(2-chloro- ethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU), the standard chemotherapeutic agent for brain tumors, which had a cell kill rate of 43%. Studies in rats harboring solid 9L brain tumors also showed berberine has antitumor effects. Rats treated with berberine, 10 mg/kg, had a 81% cell kill. However, the combination treatment, berberine and BCNU, exhibited additive effects on killing cancer cells." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"Mercury also has an affinity for our brains and is implicated in brain tumors and dementia.* And, finally, mercury has an affinity for fetal tissue—reaching higher levels in the fetus than in the mother herself—which accounts for mercury's implication in birth defects. What about other sources of mercury entering the body? Well, seafood is of course a source. And some of the foods we eat are too. But, when all is said and done, the amount of mercury entering our bodies from amalgam fillings represents anywhere from 50-90% of the total amount." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"The largest (diketopiperazine) appears to be the cause for brain tumors in animal feeding studies. Olney says when it is processed (nitrosated) by the gut it produces a compound closely resembling a powerful chemical (N-nitrosourea)7 that causes brain tumores. Author and neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, suggests that ajump in brain tumors in the US population in the 1980s is linked to the introduction of aspartame.8 Blaylock refers to an Italian rat study9 in which "they fed animals aspartame throughout their lives and let them die a natural death." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"Its use has been linked to MS symptoms, brain tumors, sudden death in athletes, Parkinson's disease, brain fog, learning disabilities, ADHD, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders, seizures, migraines and more. Diabetics and young women are at particular risk, as they drink a lot of diet soft drinks. A good web site for information on aspartame is www.dorway.com. A good book on its perils is Sweet Poison by Dr. Janet Starr Hull. There are two documentaries about aspartame entitled Sweet Misery and Sweet Remedy. A friend of mine performed an experiment in which she fed aspartame to mice." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"For instance, aspartame (the generic name of NutraSweet and Equal) is a dangerous food additive that some studies have shown has toxic effects, including triggering or worsening epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and brain tumors. And though Splenda claims to be made from sugar, it is made by chlorinating sugar. This means if you use Splenda, you are essentially dumping chlorine into your coffee. As I will discuss later, chlorine is one of the harmful chemicals that most of us come into contact with on a daily basis. See www.sweetpoison.com for more information." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Aspartame has been investigated as a possible cause of brain tumors, mental retardation, birth defects, epilepsy, Parkinsons Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Diabetes, yet the FDA (that once sought to have Aspartame removed from the market) has done nothing to regulate this toxic artificial sweetener! Did You Know? After being inside the body for 20 minutes, Aspartame begins breaking down from its original compound into methanol, formaldehyde (a Class-A carcinogen used to embalm corpses) and formic acid (ant venom)." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.) "However, frequent and prolonged use of cellphones can result in very serious health complications, such as brain tumors and cellular damage. The image on the following page is the head of a man exposed to cellphone radiation for 15 minutes. The man held the cellphone on his left ear. The dark grey area represents the high levels of radiation emitted by the cellphone. The Swedish National Institute for Working Life, in collaboration with the University of Oerebro, discovered that heavy users of cellphones display "..." - Dr. Edward F.

"There are many different causes of epilepsy, including birth injury, head trauma, brain tumors, disorders of metabolism, alcoholism, and drug addiction. However, for a large proportion of epileptics, the cause cannot be determined. In most cases, epileptic seizures are not in themselves dangerous. However, loss of consciousness and uncontrolled movements can result in injury either to the person suffering the seizure or to others." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R.

"Author and neurosurgeon Russell Blaylock, suggests that ajump in brain tumors in the US population in the 1980s is linked to the introduction of aspartame.8 Blaylock refers to an Italian rat study9 in which "they fed animals aspartame throughout their lives and let them die a natural death. They found a dramatic and statistically significant increase in the related cancers of lymphoma and leukemia, along with several histological types of lymphomas." - Jeffrey M.

"The cause or causes of this disorder are unknown, but brain infection, head trauma, or brain tumors may be behind some cases. It is known that narcolepsy is almost never the result of insomnia or sleep deprivation. There is currently no cure for this disorder, so the focus must be on treating the symptoms. Unless otherwise specified, the dosages recommended here are for adults. For children between the ages of twelve and seventeen, reduce the dose to three-quarters the recommended amount." - Phyllis A.
