Myelodysplastic Syndrome

[nbnbtc]

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!

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.
