Natural Help for Neurofibromatosis
Melaotonin from Sleeping in Darkness

Cost: Free (sleeping in total darkness) or $10 for eye mask

Mechanism: fights tumors

How and why melatonin is an effective cancer treatment

However, excess melatonin from supplementation might be harmful. The body only produces a small amount of melatonin, and many supplements contain several times as much as the body produces naturally. Excess melatonin might be converted into other hormones. 

Here is the eye mask I use to achieve total darkness for my eyes and pineal gland at night, which is necessary for adequate melatonin production: Dream Zone Earth Therapeutics Eye Mask

It's also a good idea to avoid bright lighting after sunset and possibly to use red light bulbs after sunset, which don't impact melatonin production the way that normal light bulbs do. 

This book goes into the importance of darkness at night for hormonal balance and cancer prevention:
