A Different Way to See Neurofibromatosis
Often, neurofibromatosis is seen as disease with very little hope and almost no treatment except for taking care of symptoms. It seems on boards that people try things but rarely get reliable results.
However, there is a different possible way to see NF.
It can be seen as one of many disorders where people, for genetic reasons, have greatly increased susceptibility to modern environmental and lifestyle factors. Where toxicity, nutrition issues, and other factors from society have an impact on these genetically susceptible people first, before the rest of society.
Other diseases in this category could include: autism, IBS, Chron's disease, many autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme disease, mental health issues, ADHD, etc. The genes in each case are different, but what is similar is having a "weakest link" in one's genetics that toxins and poor nutrition can affect with negative consequences.
The foundation Epidemic Answers looks into high rates of a variety of illnesses related to toxicity, poor nutrition, and other imbalances triggered by the modern environment. Instead of looking at these conditions separately, it groups them to investigate why the rates of all of them seem to be climbing recently and what common factors could be involved in the conditions.
Different susceptible genes/weakest links
Depending on the susceptible genes, some people will develop fatigue, asthma, autism, or severe conditions like multiple sclerosis or cancer.
In the case of NF the susceptibility is around tumorigenesis and the particular NF symptoms. and the genetic susceptibility is rather clear-cut and obvious.
Yet given that stress, sugar, certain hormones, oxidative stress, and toxins seem to play a role in making NF worse, it does seem to follow a similar pattern to these other disorders.
It's interesting to note that with many of these conditions, much of the disease can be turned around. People heal from multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autism.
However, turning around diseases like this often requires a full-fledged approach. If toxicity and strain on the body is the issue, one small change rarely helps. People are not getting better from autism and MS by doing a single intervention. They often have to overhaul their diets and lifestyles and put their bodies back into a state more similar to where it would have been decades ago, with better nutrition and fewer toxins.
Healing from autism, MS, and other somewhat genetic diseases, or genetic susceptibility diseases, typically requires:
Changing diet
Key supplements and medicinal foods
Basic healthy living, low-toxin lifestyle (natural cleaning products, etc.)
Leaving almost no stone unturned
I've seen reports of people using this type of approach on NF with success -- not just trying one natural thing and noticing nothing and saying it didn't work, but trying to change the body rather completely, as people with autism and MS have to do in order to succeed.
Autism treatments tend to work well for many diseases, since they address many of the common modern health issues:
The problems in the list above are issues in a host of modern diseases, and they seem to make NF worse.

Autism treatments tend to work well for many diseases, since they address many of the common modern health issues:
- Toxicity
- Inflammation
- Candida/sugar/mold
- Digestion
- Probiotics/good bacteria
- Gut health
- Food sensitivities
- Heavy metals
- Oxidative stress
