Pheochromocytoma causes, symptoms, diagnosis, alternative treatment -Ayurvedic medicines
Pheomhromocytoma is rarest of rare tumors of adrenal glands
and secretes too much adrenaline and noradrenaline. This causes too much
increase in heart rate, blood pressure, pulse rate and overall body metabolism. There are certain alternative ways to treat this cumbersome disease and get good results in this health problem. Ayurvedic medicine from India has been giving wonderful results in this disease which is called the Pitta, Vata Imbalance and finally involving the Kapha dosha as well. There are certain Ayurvedic remedies which are used in combination to help the problems like sweating, increased heart rate, dry mouth, weight loss, tremors, sleeping disorders and so on. The Ayurvedic treatment of Pheochromocytoma helps to live a better lifestyle and fight the disease while providing relief from side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
This is usually a single tumor and develops mainly in the
medulla of both adrenal glands, but sometimes the metastatis can flow to other
body parts as well. The pheochromocytoma which is cancerous is very rare but
can spread and can occur at any age. The causes of pheochromocytoma are not
very well understood in modern medicine but according to Ayurveda- the ancient
healthcare system of Ayurvedic medicine from India, this tumor is categorized
as “Pitta Arbud” . Arbud literally means tumor and Pitta means “fire energy”.
It is a fire eliminating tumor and caused by imbalance of fire element in the
body. The fire energy imbalance in the body is caused by genetic reasons, too
much consumption of fiery food, spicy, hot food. Pitta prakriti is also one of
the reason for formation of tumors. Prakriti is body type, so fiery body type
is also sometimes responsible for such cancers.
The symptoms mainly consist of Abdominal pain, Chest pain,
Palpitations, Sweating, Increased heart rate, dry mouth, irritability, pallor,
headache, Weight loss, tremors, high blood pressure, sleeping problems and
increased metabolism. The symptoms may come in bouts and unpredictably and can
last up to 15-20 minutes. The severity, frequency and length of symptoms can
increase as the tumor grows bigger in size.
DIGNOSIS OF
PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA AND SIGNS
There are various signs like increased heart rate, fever, hot
flushes, sweating and some tests can be conducted to confirm the underlying
cause. The various tests to confirm the
disease and make final diagnosis of Pheochromocytoma are following –
CT scan of abdomen
Biopsy of adrenals
Catchecholamines blood
levels evaluation
Glucose test
Metanephrine blood
test
MIBG scintiscan
MRI of abdomen
Urine catecholamines
TREATMENT OF PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
The treatment of pheochromocytoma in modern medical science is
removing the tumor with surgery and stabilize blood pressure and other
symptoms. There is no specific cure in modern medicine if the tumor can not be
surgically removed. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not usually successful in treating
this tumor. After surgery, it is necessary to
continually monitor all vital signs in an intensive care unit. When the tumor
cannot be surgically removed, medication is needed to manage it. This usually
requires a combination of medications to control the effects of the excessive
hormones. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy have not been effective in curing
this kind of tumor.
In Ayurveda, the disease
is categorized as “Pitta Imbalance” disease and the treatment is purely focused
in restoring the pitta balance. Various ayurvedic medicines are given to keep
the catchecholamines levels in control, reduce the sweating, shrink the tumor
using ayurvedic herbs and minerals. There are many cases in which the tumors
can be shrunk using various bhasma based medicines of Ayurveda in specific
combinations.

There is an
interesting case I would like to mention here. The lady is 48 years old ,
suffering from Pheochromocytoma ( cancerous) and was having big tumor inside
her urinary bladder. After 2 months of treatment with the above combination,
the tumor disappeared. This was a really happy news for the patient as well as
myself. There are many others who are benefited after using these Ayurvedic
medicines for cancer. These can be given along with the ongoing allopathic
treatment, surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy without any side effects of
interactions.
The high blood
pressure can be controlled by using Sarpgandha ghan vati, and the recurrence of
the tumor can be controlled by using Curcumin capsules. The level of
Catchecholamines can also be controlled by Sarpgandha Ghan Vati.
Diet in Cancer and Pheochromocytoma
The diet in
Pheochromocytoma and other cancers should be strictly alkaline diet. Do not
consume citrus fruits – lemons, oranges. Every evening vegetables soup should
be consumed. There is difference of opinion about alkaline and acidic diet. All
natural fruits, ( except citrus), should be considered alkaline. All acidic
fruits – lemons and oranges should be avoided. The acidic food like non-veg
diet, proteins, yogurt, ( all sticky food), fire element disturbing diet,
alcohol should be avoided at all cost.
