A tumour arising within the brain understandably causes great anxiety-perhaps more so than with tumours elsewhere in the body, as a brain tumour may appear to strike at the very centre of one’s soul and being. Many people with simple headaches due to anxiety or stress believe that they have a brain tumour which is causing their headache. However, the incidence of primary tumour is very low (10 per 100 000 per year). It is, however, true that tumours can cause epilepsy. This is much more likely to happen in adults than in children.
Brain tumours are either primary or secondary. A secondary tumour is one that has been carried in the blood to the brain from another site. Cancers of the lung (bronchus) or breast are by far the most common of these. Usually the site of the original cancer is known, and the appearance of seizures in such a patient is an ominous sign indicating that a secondary tumour has arisen within the brain. Sometimes, however, the original cancer has not been discovered at the time of the first seizure, and a careful clinical examination will reveal a small tell-tale lump in the breast, or the lung cancer will be seen on a chest X-ray.
Primary tumours of the brain do not arise in nerve cells. They either arise in the supporting cells between nerve cells which play an active role in their nutrition (glial cells) or in the meninges, the covering membranes of the brain. These tumours are called gliomas and meningiomas. There are other types of primary cerebral tumours, such as those arising from the cells lining the cavities of the brain, or from blood vessels, but these are rare.
Primary brain tumours are not like cancer of the breast, or bowel, or bronchus. They show no tendency to develop blood-borne secondary deposits in other organs. This is fortunate, but there are other characteristics which hinder effective treatment. The gliomas infiltrate normal brain extensively, so there is no apparent margin beyond which one can be quite certain that no abnormal cells have reached. This makes recurrence after surgical excision very likely. Meningiomas, however, are encapsulated tumours, and can often be removed completely, with a good chance of complete eradication. However, meningiomas often have an extensive blood supply, so complete removal may be technically very difficult.

Mr. G.Y. of Texas writes: “I found out about CMO through a friend … Even though I really could not afford it, I decided that I had to give it a try.
“I am a 57 year old man. I have had three colon surgeries that left me with only 18″ of colon. I had arthritis in my back, hips, and legs. I also had arthritis in my hands and they were always swollen. I had to sleep on my knees in a crouched position because the pain and discomfort of arthritis was driving me crazy. I was really bad off and the doctors told me to get my affairs in order because I didn’t have long on this earth. I was willing to try CMO as a last resort. What did I have to lose except the cost of it if it didn’t work. This is the result after … CMO.
“My sleeping has improved by at least 85%. Now I can sleep in any position I want and stretch out on the bed. My arthritis pain and swelling in my hands is gone and there is no more pain in my back, hips or legs. I am also suffering from emphysema and have noticed an improvement, I’d say at least 40%. It seems to be getting better every day. I can walk and do my shopping now and not have to stop every few steps to catch my breath. I have gained back most of my health in more ways than I can explain. CMO seems to be the one thing I needed 10 years ago. I am getting better every day. [Editor's comment: Many people find that the healing process continues long after they finish their CMO capsules.]
“After using the product I can say that it is well worth the cost. I would pay ten times the price if I ever need it again. If you think you can’t afford it, think again. For what it does for your body and health, you can’t afford not to get it if you really want to be helped. CMO does what it says and much more.”

Home care
A child with mono needs rest, aspirin or paracetamol, and a general diet as tolerated. Although mono is contagious, it’s not necessary to isolate the child and it’s unlikely that other family members will contract the disease. The child can return to school as soon as the weakness and fatigue disappear and the child feels well enough. If the spleen is enlarged, however, the child’s activity should be restricted. An enlarged spleen protrudes beneath the ribs, which normally protect it, and is susceptible to injury or rupture. In this situation, the child should not take part in contact sports or other energetic activity until the spleen returns to its normal size; this can take weeks or months.
Precautions
• If your child is being treated with antibiotics for a strep infection but the condition does not improve within 24 to 48 hours of starting the medication, inform your doctor. The doctor will order tests for mono.
• If the child’s spleen is enlarged, contact sports and other strenuous activity should be avoided.
Medical treatment
Your doctor will examine the child thoroughly, paying special attention to the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen. The doctor will also take a throat culture. If the throat culture reveals a strep infection, the child will be given penicillin or another antibiotic. Although most cases of mono can be treated at home with proper rest, diet, and a medication such as aspirin or paracetamol, some severe cases require hospitalization. This would be the case where the child needed to be given fluids intravenously or other types of supportive care.
