Thrombocytopenia, Andy

[Guest guest]

Ok class, our new vocabulary word for the day is Thrombocytopenia, which

means low platelets

To use it in a sentence, " Steve has Thrombocytopenia " .

Kidding aside, I've had this for over a year now. A year is kind of

misleading as the platelets have always been low since diagnosis, but

have s l o w l y decreased. I've had the non-hodgkins lymphoma for 2.5

years. I did calcium EDTA IV chelation last year (30 treatments), then

found Andy's book. I've been doing DMSA for 6 months and just started

ALA + DMSA per Andy's protocol. I've had no traditional treatment for

the cancer (ie chemo, etc).

Question: In reading Andy's book, I came across a blurb in the appendix

that DMSA can, in some rare cases cause bone marrow suppression. My

question is:

For the group (or anyone who'd be kind enough to reply): Has anyone on

the DMSA protocol ever been diagnosed with low platelets ? I realize

that most people on this group probably dont get CBC blood tests often,

but thought I'd ask anyway.

For the " experts " : Has Calcium EDTA chelation ever been tied to bone

marrow suppression ?

It's tough to tell what's causing the bone marrow suppression. Is it

progression of this cancer into the bone marrow, or might the DMSA be

involved with suppressing the bone marrow.

Thanks in advance for your reply(s).

Regards, Steve
