Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Remedies
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS, formerly known as "preleukemia") are a diverse collection of hematological conditions united by ineffective production (or dysplasia) of myeloid blood cells and risk of transformation to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). MDS has been found in humans, cats and dogs. Anemia requiring chronic blood transfusion is frequently present. Astronomer Carl Sagan, writer Roald Dahl, jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker and actress Nina Foch died of this condition.
Myelodysplastic syndromes are bone marrow stem cell disorders resulting in disorderly and ineffective hematopoiesis (blood production) manifested by irreversible quantitative and qualitative defects in hematopoietic (blood-forming) cells. In a majority of cases, the course of disease is chronic with gradually worsening cytopenias due to progressive bone marrow failure. Approximately one-third of patients with MDS progress to AML within months to a few years.

[QUESTION] 09/16/2009: Cathy from North Canton, Ohio: "My mother was diagnosed with MDS (lazy bone marrow) 7 years ago. She sees the doctor ev ery 3 weeks to get her hemoglobin levels checked. Most of the time she has to take an injection of a medication...* (that stimulates the body to make red blood cells ). After all of this time, she has neither been cured or progressed to leukemia. She is 79 years old and I would love to find her something to help her naturally and possible alleviate the injections of a no-named red cell booster. Thank-you and have a happy, healthy day!"
