[00:00:00] and their treatments are taken more seriously than those of adults because they are in a growth [00:00:04] state and the defect is not considered a flaw in them. [00:00:07] Brain tumors can be prevented and if [00:00:11] they are diagnosed correctly, there are no [00:00:15] studies today that would allow us to do this. [00:00:19] However, there are some [00:00:22] theories, including the theory that [00:00:25] brain tumors are caused by certain factors, such [00:00:28] as some drugs that [00:00:32] do not prevent some inflammatory diseases like meningitis [00:00:35] and trauma. If we protect [00:00:39] ourselves against these diseases, it is [00:00:42] possible to prevent them. [00:00:46] What is the biggest misconception [00:00:49] people have about brain tumors? [00:00:53] The biggest belief or idea or theory [00:00:56] people have about brain tumors is that they think [00:01:00] every brain tumor means death, every brain tumor means some [00:01:04] very serious problem, even though this is not the case, [00:01:08] and like other diseases, it is treatable and curable, [00:01:11] and this problem is not [00:01:15] something we should be afraid of. Does [00:01:18] excessive use of mobile phones and computers cause [00:01:22] brain tumors? As of today, there is no [00:01:26] definitive reference or source that has caused [00:01:30] this. Research is ongoing, and perhaps [00:01:33] over time, it will be proven that some phone waves are harmful. [00:01:37] Does the use of narcotic pills, addictive [00:01:40] substances, or energy drinks, which [00:01:44] are now very common in the market and used by young people, cause [00:01:48] brain tumors or serious brain damage? [00:01:51] Yes, I can confidently say that [00:01:54] drugs, just as they damage other organs [00:01:58] of the body, also damage the brain, [00:02:01] and this damage causes changes in cells over time, [00:02:05] especially secretion and cellular changes that we [00:02:08] mentioned, meaning a tumor, meaning cellular change, cellular change [00:02:12] causes this, but no definitive reference has [00:02:16] proven 100% [00:02:19] that a drink or a substance [00:02:23] directly causes a brain tumor in a person. [00:02:26] It causes brain damage without tumors. [00:03:39] it causes is fatigue. [00:03:42] Unfortunately, among these, they add [00:03:46] sedatives to relieve the person's [00:03:50] fatigue, and it causes stomach problems [00:03:53] and also addiction, as you mentioned. It causes addiction [00:03:56] because most of them contain alcohol, and also, [00:04:00] these changes cause cellular changes throughout the body, especially [00:04:04] in the brain. So, they are harmful. [00:04:07] Some families, [00:04:11] I noticed, get their children [00:04:14] used to it and say, "Buy us energy," and they [00:04:18] buy it for them. Your message, [00:04:20] I think, is that the kindness of a mother and father is to protect [00:04:24] their child. They should not use things that are [00:04:27] harmful to them. For example, energy [00:04:31] in children, we know that one of the most problematic diseases [00:04:34] is that its sweetness or glucose level is high [00:04:38] in the body. Over time, the pancreas fails. The first problem it causes is diabetes, [00:04:42] and the second problem is stomach and intestinal problems, which prevent [00:04:45] the growth of some hormones in the body. We even have some friends [00:04:49] and patients who are very short, [00:04:52] and when we ask them, they say they used to drink several [00:04:56] drinks a day. So, it has many [00:05:00] side effects. The best thing is natural drinks, [00:05:04] water, and other fluids. Thank you, Doctor, may [00:05:07] you live long. I will keep your message, especially regarding drinks [00:05:11] that people like. [00:05:21] The people of Afghanistan to our dear viewers. [00:05:24] The first thing is that brain tumors are not death [00:05:28] or a problem. They should not be afraid of it. [00:05:31] And secondly, they should take every headache and every [00:05:35] symptom of a brain tumor seriously. And the [00:05:38] third thing is that if we trust [00:06:00] what logic proves in science, logic answers [00:06:03] that what is in Sharia, we refer [00:06:07] to religious texts. These two things are good for us. Whatever [00:06:11] is beneficial to us is said by scientists and [00:06:14] doctors, and we should avoid it. And clear [00:06:18] water is the life-giving nature. Some people ask, "I'm tired, I want an energy [00:06:22] drink." Why don't you drink cold water? There are [00:06:25] many things about [00:06:27] water. [00:06:29] And my last words regarding brain tumors, which is a section [00:06:33] for awareness, not education, [00:06:37] is that dear compatriots, do not [00:06:41] fear brain tumors. Not seeking medical attention [00:06:44] causes problems, not the diagnosis [00:06:47] of a tumor itself. Thank you, Dr. [00:06:51] Abdul Muttalib, neurosurgeon, [00:06:53] for providing useful information. May you live long, be well.
