Tumor also called a neoplasm, is an abnormal growth of
new tissue. It can be isolated to one area or present on many areas in the body. Tumors can appear nearly anywhere inside or
outside of the body and may be cancerous "malignant" or benign
"non-cancerous". Polyps and papillomas are examples of benign tumors.
Whereas, squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas are examples of malignant tumors.
Benign tumors are not as serious. Malignant tumors are normally very serious and are likely to grow, take over other organs, and
spread "metastasize". These tumors can be a life threatening
health problem if they are not detected and treated at in their early stage. The prognosis for a person who develops a malignant tumor
often depends on the specific location of the tumor(s). If it is difficult to detect and there are few discernable symptoms, then treatment may not begin soon enough to prevent the tumor from metastasizing.
Environmental factors and diet seem to play an important
role in the development of tumors of all types. Tumors have been known
to decrease in size and even disappear completely due to dietary changes
and supplementation with high quality vitamins and minerals. The
suggestions here are designed to enhance immune function and suppress
the growth of both benign or malignant. tumors.
