I\'m
affraid I don\'t know anything about Myelodysplastic Syndrome, but my best wishes go out to your friend.
I know this has
nothing at all to do with attraction or smart drugs or whatever, but seeing as how many of you on here have quite a
bit of experience with alternative methods of various sorts, I was wondering if anyone had any information or
personal experience dealing with natural remedies or alternative therapies of any kind for Myelodysplastic Syndrome
(a disorder in which the bone marrow does not produce enough blood cells). This is a fatal condition for my friend
who is in his 70\'s. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

That is
sad news. I\'d Google it with the words \"natural\" and \"alternative\". My thoughts and prayers go out to
your friend. One would have to learn the exact problems and mechanisms involved.
Doc, thanks
for your concern, it is appreciated. I\'ve been heavily researching online but have been hardpressed to come up
with anything concrete. I was hoping in particular to find either someone with personal experience or a doctor who
has had some success with alternative remedies for this condition. A form of vitamin K2 was discussed as a possible
aid in several sources; unfortunately the patient in question is on a blood-thinning medication which has been shown
to interact unfavorably with it. I did eventually find this \"Alternative Cancer Center\"
www.aacancer.com but it looks to be more of a money trap for rich folks
than anything substantial. If anyone knows of any other possibilities, please feel free to share.

In Boston\'s China
Town there may be an eastern medicine shop. Or maybe elsewhere.
I do
know that bones and spongy tissues are made of lots of collagen and elastin, and that it is possible to supplement
collagen and elastin with bovine sources. Fatty acids, such as from, flax, borage and fish oils, are important for
the repair of such tissues, as is vitamin C. OPC\'s or pycnogenol may be a relevant antioxidant.
But it sounds
like the precancerous condition is the main factor, and perhaps one would apply that logic to its
treatment.
Products such as IP6 and beta-glucan are good for the immune system and cancers, as are nutritional
changes. I know that cancer loves conditions favorable to candida.
I read that many can live for years with the
condition. There are treatments for the symptoms, as you know.
I wish I knew something about it. Good luck in
your search.
Man, Exit. I'm very sorry to
hear that!!! (I hadn't checked this thread for ages.) I had to read your post twice. This just won't do! I know
you would be a warrior for your health, sir. So I very much hope you feel like you have a handle on what could be
causing or contributing to it, and are addressing that. I assume you're also PM'ing nbn. Let me/us know if I/we
can be of any assistance.

What kind of blood cells are you
talking about? I know that supplementation of steroids has been proven to signifigantly increase red blood cell
numbers..
IIRC, there are different
varieties that affect different types of blood cells, or even more than one type. People do what they can to control
symptoms by boosting they type they lack, through transfusions, etc. Bone marrow transplants are sometimes tried in
younger people. The problem is more the underlying condition, I suppose.
