      Look into the raw food movement, detoxification. Especially Dr. Robert Morse’s perspective on detoxification of the body. We are lymphatically compromised beings from eating unnatural, processed food diets. Fasting, frugivorous diet, herbal formulas and glandulars are a route that has saved lives. Some people have healed eating raw carnviore diet. Some doctors say that cancer can’t live on fat or a keto diet because they most cancers use glucose only. Lots of options.

      It wasn't Jesus though, it was the doctors and scientists. Jesus could have just removed the tumor or prevented it from ever appearing. But he didn't. He also didn't heal it. The doctors and scientists did. I mean, several million Christians die every year of cancer, many more of starvation or other diseases. Where is Jesus there? Just give credit to those who deserve credit: the scientists, doctors and nurses.

    The surgeon having a brain tumor is VERY INTERESTING! Many surgical physicians end up with the disease they are treating. And, researchers contract the disease they are researching! It makes it difficult to not say that cancer is communicable via surgery; therefore, cancer & other diseases are viral or bacterial!

    Really glad that the surgery went well and that you are recovering nicely. I had a tumor removed in my abdominal area, and it took forever for them to determine exactly what type of tumor it was. It ended up being a grade 1 tumor. A grade 1 tumor has cancer cells that are not growing rapidly. They resemble normal cells. It takes time for the pain to go away. It's amazing though how your nerves will regroup and your functioning will increase in the area of the incisions. Wishing you a full recovery with some good news about the pathology results.

    Well done beautiful. I had brain tumour the size of a large orange removed 10 years ago. Keeping a positive attitude when you can will make your recovery so much easier. 10 years on and it’s hard to believe what I went through. It’s like another persons life. Share your positive story it will help others starting their journey. Hugs to those who’s prognosis/recovery is not so good, everyone’s journey is unique.

    Glad to see you didn't suffer with the major issues that could have happened and I believe you have the right attitude and will power to bounce back and be even stronger than before. It is important to keep following your doctors orders and if they say you need to be scanned or tested every 90 days do it because they are trying to make sure that if it comes back they can catch it quick and hopefully avoid any major issues. I know you had a rough time getting taken serious the first go round but now that you have had to have surgery they will be taking it serious I bet.

    @Mila_Brearey Před 9 měsíci +1

    I have suffered from chronic migraines for as long as I can remember and then began to have monthly grand-mal seizures for 15 years, each one causing me to loose consciousness and stop breathing.
    Like you, I had to take Dilantin, which nearly ruined my gums, teeth & overall (what used to be) perfect teeth & oral health. It's one of its bad side effects.
    I was also scared that I had a brain tumor; however, regular CT's, ECG and an MRI cleared me, thank god.
    Btw, if you ever have to take Percocet ever again, make sure you eat a meal first, or at the very least, a cup of yogurt.
    I still suffer from debilitating migraines, but my seizures are gone. They were most likely caused by a minor (I thought) head injury during my skiing accident. It apparently takes time for a bruised brain to heal.
    Im so happy that the tumor removal was a success!❤

    Hi eireann. Glad to hear your surgery went well. I had a brain tumour removed last year and it hasn't regrown because I have been on a keto diet, and also taking:
    Rick Simpson oil
    Mushroom tinctures (turkey tail especially)
    Soursop tincture
    Seamoss gel
    Frankincense
    You can also try a shot of lemon which alkalises your body too

  • @Nangeala
    @Nangeala Před 9 měsíci +3

    If it is glioma - please talk to your doctor about how to starve it. All cancers ferment. Meaning they dont have functioning mitochondria. This is the gateway to how you kill cancer. Eat a ketogenic diet so the cancer cells have to compete with every other cell in your body for the glucose your liver makes on its own. - And if you have to get chemo, ask your doctor to give you a slight insulin injection before each treatment so you lower your blood sugar even more. This stresses the body and cancer cells cannot buckle down, the way well functioning cells can. - Cancer cells ferment for their energy. They can only get energy from glucose and an amino acid called Glutamin. Unfortunately some cancers use glutamin more than glucose, and glutamin blockers are not well researched or used, because every cell in the body needs glutamine and its the most abundant amino acid we have. But you can transiently go on blockers, prior to for example a chemo treatment. This will help remove any remaining cancer. The power you have here, apart from your approach and attitude is WHAT YOU EAT. Dont feed the cancer. Dont eat sugars. Starve it at every oppertunity.

    So happy you’re recovering well! You’re a beacon of light and goodness and it’s extremely inspiring to hear your story. Been through something similar; started having seizures due to a massive reaction to coming off a medication, and was in a coma for a week after flatlining, being brought back after seeing myself from above and fading into the blackness. Came back screaming “STOP, STOP, STOP!”and immediately blacked out again. Had to relearn how to talk and walk after a week of being unresponsive and hallucinating that I was stuck in the show “Street outlaws” (which was playing constantly on the TV for some reason) via an extremely painful audio-visual fish-hook laser that was very convincingly strung directly from the screen and into my brain. Suffered 65-75% toxic encephalitis, went through tons of weird scans and everything was spinning and I was constantly vomiting when I wasn’t completely blacked out. I finally started to actually recover and speak when I gained the ability to make someone shut the TV off. The first time I drank water by myself, it felt like it went in through my forehead, poured over my eyeballs, and blurred my vision before clearing up and going where it was supposed to. It was weird as hell. Still have memory issues, even years later, and I lost the use of my right arm for months (but luckily recovered fully). Brain stuff is so bizarre!

    Éireann, you have been heavy on my mind since I saw your pre-surgery video a while back. I’ve been so hoping and wishing and praying that you were getting on okay. It’s awesome to see you ❤
    I didn’t get a chance to leave you a proper comment on your pre-surgery video, as I’ve been dealing with a lot of appointments and things and when it’s not those things, I’m asleep from burnout. You see, since July 2022, I’ve been in a similar boat. What you call “waves” - I call them “spells.” You know for certain that you have seizures, but my doctors don’t quite know what’s happening to me just yet. But the way you spoke of how they felt… I could relate. It’s a feeling unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced.
    After watching your other video, I told my mom about your story, and teared up a bit, recalling my own spells and feeling devastated that another person out there (you) is feeling that same thing. You are my hero, gurl. I have been the BIGGEST ninny this past year and a half, getting worried, not believing in myself. And here you are having major surgery and pushing yourself to walk. You are amazing ❤❤❤
    I believe your memory will improve. Did you notice how you said that things weren’t quite like “they used to be”? This makes me feel like somewhere in your mind, you *remember* your recent past and how things were for you. The brain is absolutely amazing and can rebuild neural pathways over time. Continued prayers for you, and let us know if WE can help YOU :) You are simply the best!
    ❤❤❤❤❤

    Sending you best wishes. ❤ My oldest sister had a cancerous tumour the size of an orange removed over 10 years ago, and she is still fine today. She did lose a few memories from years ago after the surgery, but has no problem with new memories. One of the humorous traits she had was that she was always mixing up her words. It used to make everyone laugh including her. She was doing this for many years, perhaps more than 10. After the operation, she no longer mixed up her words. If someone in your family does this it may be nothing, but it may also be worth checking out. It seems obvious with hindsight that something was affecting her brain, but at the time it was just a funny thing she did.
