NF is not really a disease of the skin NF tumors grow off nerves, they
can have long roots, so lets say you have a tumor on your elbow the
nerve it could be growing off could be in your shoulder, They fould the
defected gene #17 with a electron mircoscope. anywhere a nerve is a
tumor can grow, not just on the skin. we have nerves all over the body
inside and out. It is not because of a due to toxic residues. DR
Samuels never saw anyone with NF say you said so he could only think
what he thought it could be. back before the electron micoscope von
Recklinhousen was thought of only being tumors on the skin and now they
know can grow inside also. the make-up of most tumors other the NF are
of their own ( mostly ), breast tumor, etc. but a NF tumor could also
grow in the breast and could also be cancer. Our genes are hereditary.
Thats what DNA comes from.
