Dear John,
You said: <<My name is John and I was recently diagnosed with the pituitary adenoma (brain tumor of the pituitary gland most likely to be benign). However it is pressing on my optic nerve and is threatening to damage it and also it gradually decreases my hormone levels. I am 20 year old. Could you please tell me how sucessfull are CS and Beck's Protocols in treting this problem? Any information would be greatly appreciated.>> A pituitary adenoma that is most likely benign is usually called Cushing's Disease. Were you told that? CS is for pathogens. Many Beck protocols are experimental at best, and some of those familiar with them feel they are of some value, but primitive, so to speak. Your condition is fully cured 80% of the time by surgery done by a skilled surgeon who does this type of surgery regularly. Some people have to take medication for up to one year later until the pituitary begins producing cortisol on its own again.. The good news is, after that, you don't need any drugs. If you allow the condition to persist, the adenoma can increase and eventually make it difficult to remove it without removing part of the pituitary. I'm not a big fan of conventional medicine, but you are talking about the master gland in the body. I am not aware of any effective non-conventional treatment for this. If this existed, I would have found it, for I was diagnosed just recently with the same condition after 18 years of no conventional medical treatment at all. I have little to no use for conventional medicine, but I also know when the time is right to experiment and when it isn't. If anyone tells you there is a non-conventional, effective protocol for this I suggest you explore it quite thoroughly before committing to it. There are people out there that will tell you that what they have will cure everything from A-Z. I am well-versed in science, medicine, and alternative/holistic medicine, and believe me, I searched exhaustively for something for myself to avoid the conventional route.
