The Cause of Brain Tumours and Metastasis

Different parts of the brain are called into the special biological response to deal with different kinds of unanticipated experiences. The key to the experience that you've had lies in the symptoms. The key to healing lies in the experience that you've had. Any kind of swelling in the body is always a result of a healing phase of an unanticipated experience or injury. Whichever area of the brain that directs that part of the body will also swell during the healing phase of the disease process.

There are spaces inside the brain, filled with cerebrospinal fluid. These ventricle spaces connect with the centre of the spinal cord and with the membranes covering the brain, so that cerebrospinal fluid can circulate around and through the brain and down the spine.  Any swelling of brain tissues in the vicinity of the ventricles can block the circulation of fluid and result in increased pressure inside the skull (called "hydrocephalus," literally "water-brain") which will cause specific symptoms.

The fluid isn't "cancerous" or toxic in any way. It's mainly water with a little protein, glucose, some white blood cells and some hormones; however, the consequences of the swelling are important, symptoms similar to meningitis – headaches, sickness, problems with sight and movement. Severity of the symptoms is a product of the location and the size of the swelling, and swelling is always exaggerated in the case of kidney tubule syndrome. In children, hyperactivity is a consequence of brain swelling in the cerebrum, effectively regressing the child neurologically to a younger, more active stage.

In adults, most brain swellings, or so-called "brain tumours" form in the cerebrum, particularly in the forebrain. Swellings in the tissues covering the brain and in the brainstem are also diagnosed as brain cancer. In children, a much greater proportion of the "brain tumours" that are diagnosed are in the brainstem and fewer (but still around 40%) are found in the cerebrum, again mostly in the forebrain.

In adults, most brain cancer diagnoses are called "secondary brain tumours" and they aren't considered tumours of the brain cells but rather "other types of cancer" that have "metastasized" from different parts of the body. When you have had another cancer diagnosed in your body, that is when you are most likely to have a CT scan done and that is when these "secondary brain tumours" will be found.

In children, however, "secondary brain tumours" are very rarely found. Therefore it is believed that (for some mysterious reason), metastasis to the brain (and in general) is much less likely to happen in children.

Keep on reading, and see if you can figure out why.

Two Fundamental Medical Errors
There are two underlying errors in the conventional medical diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours and metastasis:
1. there is no such thing as brain cancer
2. there is no such thing as metastasis
So-called "brain tumours" do not contain cancer cells. When a brain tumour is removed surgically, it is merely drained of fluid and the swelling is - and therefore the symptoms are - (temporarily) reduced.
The idea of metastasis arose as a hypothesis to explain why one cancer diagnosis often seems to result in another and then another. It occurred to medical scientists that somehow the cancer cells were spreading around the body and devouring it without rhyme or reason. From here it was "observed" that cancer itself seems to be a random process of the body's own cells "going insane" and suddenly growing out of control. The line of thinking hypothesized further that this insane-cancer process must be triggered by a combination of bad genetics and bad behaviour: either the bad behaviour of the cancer "victim" or the bad behaviour of people around the cancer victim. Further, since cancer is a malevolent, evil invader into the body, made up of cells gone insane and ready to chomp their way throughout the organism, it is necessary to eradicate these wrong tissues as quickly as possible, by poisoning, burning or cutting them out (chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery).
The problem with all these hypotheses is that they are only hypotheses and, in fact, disproven hypotheses:

• cancer cells have never, ever been observed breaking loose from one part of the body, traveling through the bloodstream or other body fluids, and landing somewhere else in the body
• the brain runs every single process of the body, including cancer and healing
• the body's cells do not "go insane" - every dis-ease is a very specific, highly-evolved, genetically programmed, meaningful and appropriate response to a specific experience that the organism has had
• we all have the same "genetics" - our experience determines whether the biological program of nature will be triggered
• eradicating unwanted tissues in the body does not in any way address the underlying cause of the dis-ease, and leaves the brain-operated biological program running

It is true that one bad diagnosis tends to lead to another and then another and the situation can get out of hand. But the body and the brain and the cells have not gone insane. They are, in fact, doing exactly as a billion years of evolution have programmed them to do, which is to launch an immediate and appropriate response to every experience that comes our way - especially if the experience that comes our way is a scary medical diagnosis!
Most cancer deaths are iatrogenic. In fact, when doctors go on strike, death rates immediately decline.
Our culture isolates us, frightens us, so we are always at a higher risk of having to deal on our own with situations we just can't manage. We're bombarded all day long with "information" meant to get us into the doctor's office: breast cancer statistics, drug ads, whispered announcements about the terrible cancer that someone's sister just got. One day, we get robbed or our lover dumps us for someone else or a loved one dies and we have no one to turn to to talk about it. Life gets worse and worse and then one day we get a bad symptom in our body. Off to the doctor we go: finally something can be diagnosed and we can get the help (and human attention) we need. While we're sitting in the doctor's office, we listen to lots of hushed stories about other people's special problems and we shake our heads at what a bunch of troopers they are - I could never handle that kind of thing in my life. Heck, I got all stressed out just because my dog died.
Then we get into the doctor's office (after hours of waiting and referrals and so on) and the doctor shits all over us for not eating enough fibre or because we used to smoke ten years ago. Some tests are ordered, some prescriptions are written, we leave the office with a few photocopied sheets of paper admonishing us to do all the things we've already tried to do to be rid of our symptoms.
And then we get the phone call: "You must come into the office right away. We have your test results..."
That moment, when your stomach drops into your feet and you have no idea whether to scream or cry or run away - that moment is the unanticipated experience that leads to another diagnosis down the line. That is the only "metastasis" that ever happens. The context of the moment when you have that experience, whether it's

• on the phone with the lab and you feel helpless
• at the doctor's office and you suddenly are given a long list of things you have to do and you feel all alone
• you find out you need surgery and you feel a physical threat to your body
• you are told to put your affairs in order
• you pick up your child after the diagnosis and realize she might be left all alone...

determines what your next cancer will be.
This is how "metastasis" happens. Combine the isolating and frightening properties of our culture (and medical system) with the largely-ineffective treatments that are applied to a misunderstood dis-ease, and you get a terrific mess of unanticipated experiences to which your mind-body organism must respond.
The solution to every conflict in life is always the same. We must become aware of what is really going on in our minds, our bodies and our experiences. We must raise our level of consciousness.
