Benign brain tumors – meningiomas – treated the same way as cancer?

  • Benign brain tumors – meningiomas – treated the same way as cancer?

    Posted by sara_b on July 22, 2026 at 4:18 am EDT

    I happen to know three women who have recently been diagnosed with a meningioma – a benign brain tumor. I can’t seem to find any information on how to get rid of them. Well, one person already had it removed, the second is trying natural approaches and the third is waiting to see. There is a lot of information on how to treat cancer, different types, but I really haven’t found information on what to do with benign tumors. Does anyone have a suggestion — where to look, what to do, who is writing or studying this topic? Thank you.

      Not sure what I’m supposed to look at here, David. I know of Dr. Makis’s work. To my knowledge he hasn’t talked about benign tumors.

    I wish there were some other sort of treatment. My grandson has a benign behind his eye. He has NF1. It makes absolutely no sense to me that they treat it with chemo.

    Budy, is that what they are suggesting? Chemo! I hope he looks into other options.

    Sorry, I don’t have an answer, except for one possible resource, involving searching A Midwestern Doctor (AMD), sometimes also called The Midwestern Doctor. He (at his Substack) would probably recommend a personal trial using DMSO. From what I have already learned, this treatment would be done simply by applying DMSO to the site on the head nearest the tumor’s location. Perhaps using a diluted solution at first, say, 70% – after first testing if the user were allergic to it (rarely). Multiple treatments would probably be needed, which would be followed up by imaging of the tumor at scheduled times. AMD’s substack has an index for the most common applications of DMSO; and also a very detailed description of precautions and methods of safe application.

    Also, I wonder if there is available a medical AI that could at least lead you to some good ideas and references. Most of the other AI’s I use shy away, or outright refuse, from offering medical advice. However, you could squeeze out useful information, if you ask your questions in the context of only seeking educational content – that is, not directly asking for medical advice.

    Does anyone reading this know of an AI that was not trained on content not strongly tied to CDC guidelines? Has IMA created such an AI entity, one more in tune to honest medicine? I would like to suggest, if it hasn’t already done so, that the IMA create such an AI.

      The AI engine I use for anything medical is Perplexity. That model seems to have a deep dive capability for science based answers.

        I like Perplexity.ai too! However, it will sometimes balk when it “perceives” that the inquirer is seeking medical advice. Its training is apparently geared to established medical doctrine and regulations.
