Neurofibroma
Overview

A benign lesion of unknown original that may occur in the peripheral nerve, soft tissue, skin or bone, neurofibroma occurs as a solitary lesion more commonly than as a multiple lesion or in neurofibromatosis (NF-1 or von Recklinghausen’s disease).
There are two types of neurofibromatosis.
- Type 1 (von Recklinghausen’s disease) affects 1 in 3000 people; however, the majority of cases are mild with a limited number of tumors.
- Type 2, which is more severe, affects 1 in 50,000 people.
The spectrum of lesions in von Recklinghausen’s disease varies widely. For instance, the neurofibromas may involve small skin nerves and appear as small bumps, or they may be confined to large nerves and produce elephantiasis, or enlargement of affected body parts.
Symptoms, particularly the most common skin abnormalities-café-au-lait spots, neurofibromas, Lisch nodules, and freckling in the armpit and groin-are often evident at birth or shortly afterwards, and almost always by the time a child is 10 years old.
Because many features of these disorders are age dependent, a definitive diagnosis may take several years.
The cause of neurofibromas is a genetic mutation; mutations are changes in your genes. The genes make up your DNA, which defines every physical aspect of your body. In this condition, a mutation occurs on the neurofibromin gene, causing an increase in the development of cancerous and noncancerous tumors.
While most cases of neurofibroma are caused by a genetic mutation in the neurofibromin gene, there are reports of an increasing recognition of acquired cases due to spontaneous mutations.
Furthermore, it is estimated that in about half of all cases, the mutation appears spontaneously. This means no family member has the illness, and it is not inherited. The acquired disease can then be passed on to future generations.
According to a writer on modernalternativehealth.com, diet plays a huge role in treating the symptoms of neurofibroma. She suggests adiet full of organic, non-processed foods which are prepared well. Consume healthy fats, low sugar, making sure you are eating nutrient dense foods full of vitamins such as K and D.
It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:
- Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
- Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
- Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
- Avoid all fast food restaurants.
- Avoid all canned food.
- Eliminate conventional dairy products. The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows. If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.
- Avoid conventional beef. The best beef is organic grass fed beef. The second best is organic meat; this includes beef, veal, lamb, chicken and turkey.
Supplements:
- Try Vitamin D supplements; they’re thought to be beneficial for conditions which affect the skin like neurofibroma.
- Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day for periods of four weeks at a time.
- Wholefood supplements are the best way of ensuring your nutritional needs are met. The best we know on the market is Kevin Trudeau’s “KT Daily” product. You can find more details here.
- Take an Omega 3 supplement:
Prescription and non-prescription medication:
What non-prescription and prescription drugs are you taking? Your non-prescription and prescription are partially the reason that you have this illness or disease – you need to get off these medications but do so only under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner.
