Hi Anne,
it's not always clear that tumors are toxin dumps. A more accurate view is that a tumor, like any other symptom (an eruption on the skin to an inflamed sore joint) is the work of the innate intelligence or vital force trying to maintain balance. Chopping it off makes less sense when you look at it this way.
I used to revel in opening abscesses in my dairy cow patients. Seemed heroic as the gallon of pus spilled out of my scalpel puncture. But I was pushing the vital force's timing. I would have better served my patient by giving a remedy like silica, to enhance the efforts of the vital force and bring it to a head to drain on its own.
Do write me again if you come to live here! At least one raw feeding coop I know of here, as well as a couple of great stores in my food coop ("my" as in, I'm a proud part owner!): Wheatsville Food Coop.
