Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hey Tev, Do you remember that person from near Boston, some naturapath with a child with Nf1??? He was treating his NF1 child with frankincense, and so far no tumors. well, I think frankincense is derived from boswellia. Shall look up more.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hi Marcus ,I do not know if there is a downside but from what I ve read they havent discovered the downside yet and they did discover the positive side of controlling meningiomas .Tev You know growing meningiomas is dangerous you know . I Sort of think the risk maybe worth it if the meningiomas are gorwing multiply and agressively .Tev same with Hydroxyurea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hello; If you are asking about a "down side' in reference to adverse effects; It seems to me thet re: RFA, the dowm side would be if someone were trying to save a nerve incased in the tumor. Rosemary; Was it you who mentioned 'benign tumors' as well. Re: The alternative herbal Tx for meningioma, everyone reacts differently, + or - outcomes and side effects. I still trust the FDA alittle for release of different things but they have not been released to take in mega doses if so required. Am I making any sense M ?

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 I have read that of all brain tumors meningiomas are childs play, easier to remove, less threatening. wish it were true for nf2.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 ; I think you to mean NF-2 meningiomas are easier to treat, or, are you being factious? On another list , meningiomas were down played as almost child's play and that didn't seem right. I felt sorry for that patient. Do take care (smile) Russ wrote: I have read that of all brain tumors meningiomas are childs play, easier toremove, less threatening. wish it were true for nf2.
