Re: Acute myelogenous leukemia

[Guest guest]

Anyone with experience dealing with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia?

A dear friend of mine's dad, 76 ,has been diagnosed with this. Apparently it

has been with him some time as five years ago doctors wanted to do a bone marrow

test.

Of course they want to do some heroic stuff with him including some experimental

meds.

if he ahs had this for some time I have to assume then that it was MDS that went

into AML. Is that true?

Diet is one thing that could be changed if he already hasn't. Essiac's tea is

another thing that I think might help. Dandelion root ( herb ) increases white

cells as I understand it.

This is some of what I used with my oldest daughter who had AML. Vitamin C (

liquid ) and Vitamin A ( liquid)

IV use with both if you can. Is better then using it any other way.

knows much more about AML treatment than me. I don't think

anything's got a high success rate w/it.

I personally would NOT do a " bone-marrow transplant " (very-high-dose

chemo) for any type of cancer.

For AML, I’d go to 1 of the following clinics:

CHIPSA.com (expensive)

Their general protocol (below) is largely based on the

BioImmune.com protocol, which includes IV VIT. C

I've heard good things about their treatment of AML.

Other things that I’ve heard have SOME efficacy w/AML:

clinicians are probably unfamiliar with the techniques. Brusatol has

probable merit….successful strategies using Rocaltrol…non-presciption

Leonard,

The various AML treatments that I suggested to you are only those

that I thought a person could muster up for himself/herself to do at

home. The more aggressive treatments require preparation and

teaching. This I do through our seminars in Del Mar, e.g., for AML

we teach strategies for inducing apoptosis in blast cells through

maximizing the superoxide anion, ajoene, valproate, and histone

deacetylase inhibitors. We then provide the meds for program

participants to use at the San Diego Clinic if infusions are

required. Much of this is funded through our non-profit. This is

how the San Diego Clinic can keep prices low for those who go though

our program. You can call Shirley Stratman at the Center

(858-523-9144) for information on the one-week intensive

program. AML is not the demon that most people think it is. It is

just necessary to act fast and selectively.
