Re: Going out of the country

[Guest guest]

Hi Esther,

Actually several of the supplements you mention interact with Gleevec.

As a general rule, you want to avoid using anything that is known to

stimulate the immune system (such as echinacea or melatonin or ginsing

etc) because in doing so, you could also stimulate the leukemia.

In our files section, you will see a series of posts that talk about

different supplements and how they interact with Gleevec. The list was

given by a pharmacist (Dr. Bubalo of OHSU) who is familiar with this

subject. You'll note that even licorice can interact with Gleevec. The

files are called " Dr. Bubalo Lectures " .

I posted a while ago how Vit C can interact with Gleevec and I know

that Vit A is a fat soluble vitamin which means that it can build up in

your system to toxic levels if you take too much. I read one study

that said that taking over 6,000 IU a day, could be dangerous so if

you're taking 5,000 IU just in a supplement (not to mention however

much you get through food), you may want to rethink the supplement.

Few people are as afraid of germs as I am (I can just see the people

who know me, laughing now), but other than washing your hands often,

there isn't much else you should do to stay away from, what are

sometimes unavoidable, situations. I suppose if you're seriously

afraid, you could wear a mask on the plane but other than that, I don't

think there's anything you can take to help protect you.

Of course a common sense diet of healthy food is always a good

idea......and don't forget a bottle of hand sanitizer for when you

can't avoid but touching things

Enjoy your trip, that's the most important part!

wow every thing in the bottle interacted, what would i do with out

you guys thank you thank you thank thank you ,should i be worried about

the other supplements I'm taking? shouldn't he know what interacts

with what? He also put me on vegetal Silica for my hair that's falling

out and the ingredient to that is 450mg of Horstail,also a cancer

supplement which has indole-3carbinol complex, green tea quercetin,

quercetin chalcone, L-carnitine and calcium ascorbate he also put me on

vitamin b6 folate[as5 methyl-tetrahydrofolate] and vitamin b12 that he

said was for my red blood count that was a little high. Should i stop

going to this highly recommended naturopath. It has cost me a fortune.

thanks for all your info

see about the drug interactions.

I second what Tracey wrote. A lot of things interact more or less with

imatinib (and the other drugs), some are known and on the published list,

some other probably aren't. I believe the best course is to keep a varied

diet, not too much of anything and a bit of all the basic foods. The only

foods/drinks I found not to work so good for me (for side effects) are

acidic fruits (in large quantity), excess of meat, dairy or eggs, and more

than a small glass of wine or beer. Drinking enough water is a good thing.

Exercising at least a bit everyday also helps.

This is a bit of an anecdote, not evidence, but I was on a non fat diet for

about a year as my gall bladder was a bit irritated with gleevec, and my PCR

results stayed about the same for the duration. When I got back to a normal

healthy diet, well, most of the time , the PCR started dropping again.

Hi Esther,

To go to the files section, you just need to click on " files " at the

left of our home page. I'll put the link here too so you should be

able to get there by clicking it, but if not, just go to the main

page and click on it from the menu on the left. Dr. Bubalo's lecture

notes are the first link listed in the files section.

Hi Esther,

The problem is that most doctors don't have enough experience with

Gleevec to know what interacts with it and I wouldn't expect the

average Naturopath to have much experience with it either. My own

doctor has prescribed me things that had a severe interaction but

thankfully I caught it before I took it. I look up everything before

I take it.

My mother isn't on Gleevec but she once got a prescription for two

drugs that actually could have caused a fatal interaction so it's

always good to check how each drug is metabolized before you take

anything.

I'm a little confused about why they would give you B12 if your red

cell count is high? I take B12 because my B12 level is low. Your

red count doesn't necessarily reflect what your B12 level is. The

only way to know if you need B12 is if you have a B12 test.

Lots of us take calcium because it can help with the Gleevec cramps.

As long as you don't take it within 2 hours of taking your Gleevec,

there shouldn't be a problem with calcium. I personally take Calcium

Citrate because it's absorbed easier than the other forms but

whichever form you take, don't take more than 500mg at a time because

that's as much as your intestines can absorb at once.

Take care,

Tracey

Hi Esther,

I have worked with 2 naturopaths (one at at time) almost since the time I

was diagnosed in 1998. A good naturopath does NOT have to give you a ton of

supplements....which is mainly another way for them to make $$ or keep you

going to them. My first naturopath did Rx quite a few supplements over time

to deal with some of my side effects from my drugs.....some were helpful,

others are still sitting on the shelf (actually I just threw out some

out-dated bottles of stuff I did not use up). My 2nd naturopath, who

actually did her residency in oncology, does NOT Rx a lot of supplements.

You can accomplish a lot with just some dietary changes and a few

supplements to address specific problems. You have to remember, that our

cml drug is suppressing our bone marrow, so it is NORMAL to have a lower

red count (for many people), etc. This is not necessarily a problem that

needs to be corrected. So that my present naturopath has NO conflict of

interest in what supplements she prescribes for me, that office makes no $$

on the sale of supplements. The slight mark-up that they have is given to a

local charity at the end of the year (and that information is posted in the

office).

So, if you have a naturopath who is pushing supplements, I would consult

with another one and see what their approach would be (you can often get a

free mini-consult).

My present naturopath regimen:

1. I take a medical product that has all my vitamins, minerals and also has

liver support....it is my breakfast.....and usually I add some ground flax seed

2. I take vit D3......which is now recognized as the 'anti-cancer' vitamin

3. I am taking a Hawthorne extract because of some concerns about heart

issues with Gleevec

4. I take a probiotic for healthy gut bacteria

5. I aim to eat a more alkaline diet to offset the acidity of the cml drugs

(I am on Sprycel)

So, I am not using a lot of supplements. If you need calcium and/or

iron....use some blackstrap molasses. My present naturopath will often tell

me what foods to try to add to my diet (like beans and greens for iron, etc).

Have a fun trip........and maybe you want to reassess your naturopath when

you return.

C.

PS....here is a funny comment along the same lines

when I changed to a new local oncologist, I wanted one who was not

anti-alternative medicine as my naturopath was part of my health

team.......when I asked me his position about alternative medicine, he said

it was fine with him if it didn't cost me too much!!

Also, I have doctored with Dr. Druker for 7 years and he has no problem

with the alternative supplements that I take (which are limited and for

specific reasons).

[Guest guest]

Hi . thanks for your input on natuopaths,he also did his residency

in oncology thats why i was surprized he would give me something that

interacted with the Gleevec. but as said he is not familiar with

the Gleevec . My red blood count was high not low, that'ts what he was

trying to fix with the b vitamins, My first 2 hour visit cost me $500

and another $200 in supplements and his visits now are$125and another $

100 in supplement every 3moths.My next visit is in Dec. . I will

reasess the situation when i get back .I have a new problem now , my

glucose levels are creeping up,does that have any thing to do with the

Gleevec? or am i eating to many carbs i think normal is up to 99 and

mine was 102. What do you eat on an alkaline diet? thanks again for all

your info

________________________

Hi Esther,

I think he should have been a bit more aware of Gleevec or looked into it

and not just Rx'd something....my naturopath is very cautious about what

she gives me. She understands that the most important thing is my medical

drug.....and her goals are to help with any side effects and health in

general. I don't know much of anything about high red count, as it is

not common with cml...but your oncologist should be addressing that I assume?

I would say his rates are high (sky high?) but it varies in different parts

of the country. Sometimes I am seen for almost 1.5 hours and the charge is

$150....and it sounds like he pushes supplements. I would suggest that you

consult with another NP, and see if one will treat you more naturally (vs

less supplements) and at a lower cost. My most expensive product is my

complete vit, mineral, liver support supplement....which is a completely

balanced breakfast and it costs about $66 for a 3-week supply (or $3.50 per

meal).......I have been on this since the start of my treatment and am

happy to pay this amount.........now I don't even use this every day, but

it is nice that I am getting all the goodies in one package!

Remember that you can only test glucose when you do a fasting blood

chemistry....which we do not usually do. But I also have a borderline high

glucose that I am watching. Recently I have read several articles promoting

cinnamon for this.

" American scientists have claimed that a teaspoon of cinnamon a day may

help prevent the onset of diabetes " . Right now I am putting a 1/2 tsp. in

my am drink. There are many common foods that have health

benefits......like curcurmin in curry, etc. which is why you don't need to

dose yourself up with so many supplements.......these micronutrients are

better and more absorbable in food form.

Alkaline diet: less red meat....lots of healthy fruits and veggies. You

can add fresh lemon or lime to your water (it is alkaline in the body).

goggle this and I am sure you will find lists and then you can highlight

the alkaline foods that you personally like. And raw food are especially

good for you if you tolerate them....as they have live enzymes. So raw

veggies when you can.

Take care, I enjoy sharing this information with you,

C.

Hi , the funny thing is just today someone told me about the

cinnamon ,and i was eating cottage cheese with cinnamon while i was

reading your post. I've been thinking i should just ditch the

natureopath and go to weight watchers it's a heck of alot cheaper.

thanks again for your input i've enjoyed talking to you.
