An Adrenal Tumor is a growth on the adrenal glands that can give rise to various symptoms described below. This website promotes natural gentle approaches to remove tumors, which may be a better first step then the cut, poison, and burn approach of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Alternative Medicine provides herbal cures such as essiac, ellagic acid, and graviola; and electromedicine therapies include Rife Lakhovsky, and Beck devices.

Adrenal tumors are rare and occur in 6 out of 1,000,000 people. They may develop in anyone at any age, but 70% of cases occur in adults, and more often in women than in men.

The adrenal glands are small, triangular, golden glands that sit above each kidney. Each has two distinct layers. The outer layer or cortex produces the hormones cortisol, aldosterone and androgenic, while the inner layer or medulla secretes the hormone adrenaline and related compounds.

A tumor of the adrenal gland can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). If the tumor starts in the adrenal glands it is called a primary tumor; if it spreads from some other part of the body it is called a secondary or metastatic tumor.

Adrenal Tumor Symptoms
A tumor will produce different symptoms depending on the hormone secreted by the tumor:

Excess production of cortisol will produce Cushing's syndrome (even though Cushing's syndrome can have other causes).

Excess secretion of aldosterone from the cortex will produce Conn’s syndrome.

Excess secretion of epinephrine and norepinephrine, hormones responsible for regulating heart rate and blood pressure, are produced by an adrenal gland tumor called pheochromocytoma. This occur most often in adults between 30 and 60 years. The most common symptom of pheochromocytoma is high blood pressure, which is sometimes extreme. While rare, symptoms may resemble other conditions and include rapid pulse, palpitations, headache, nausea, vomiting, and clammy skin.


This site is not concerned with where in the body cancer occurs, because all cancers have the same origin in ones biological terrain as charted by Professor Vincent of France in the 1920s. He correlated biological terrain with the onset of cancer. A healthy terrain cannot get cancer, while a debased terrain cannot avoid it. Terrain is mainly due to ones diet.
