Leukemia - Editor's Choice

Michelle C.,

Because of the serious nature of this disease whatever you decide to do, you should include your doctor in any decisions you make regarding your niece! Here is something to discuss with her doctor. On that note, the main active constituent from different colored teas is considered to be Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG and in the following study, EGCG has shown benefit in GVHD models and according to the study linked to below, quercetin is helpful at increasing the uptake of EGCG while quercetin alone has no effect on GVHD, but if the quercetin allows a lower dose of the EGCG to be effective that would be helpful as there is some data that suggests that some people may have liver issues from high dose EGCG. In any case it seems worth mentioning to her doctor for review, since EGCG is a very common supplement that thousands of people use regularly with a fairly good safety profile. It also has potent antioxidant effects which would be important in GVHD. EGCG also has antiinflammatory properties which again would be of importance in GVHD.

Here is a link to a study showing potential benefit of EGCG in GVHD and based on this study, her doctor may be able to determine a functional dose for your niece. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5245838/

Here is a link to typical EGCG supplements on Amazon :

Please note that the percentage of EGCG varies considerably from product to product. Although the study is a rodent model study of GVHD, EGCG has a known safety profile in humans from other studies.

Another consideration is Curcumin which is considered to be the active component of the spice Turmeric. Here is a link to a study that suggests it may be beneficial also: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3688629/

Here is a link to typical curcumin supplements on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/s?k=curcumin&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

One drawback to curcumin is its relatively low bioavailability, but as you review that Amazon page you will notice that there are many different formulations that offer better absorption.

Good luck to you and your niece and please keep us updated! Art

In the spring of 2015, a 85 year old lady, was diagnosed with leukemia. She refused a bone marrow confirmation of diagnosis and the recommended treatment with Chemotherapy. The oncologist said she would likely not live 3 months, but scheduled a 6 month follow up appointment.

This lady began a daily regime of nettle tea, about a litre a day, eating the boiled nettles, and also made syrup form fresh nettles, taking a few tablespoonfuls a day.

When this lady attended the 6 mth appointment, the oncologist expressed shock to see this woman and disbelief that she was still alive. Her recommendation was to 'continue what you are doing, because it's working'. the lady's blood work had returned to normal!

This woman claims to have helped friends with advanced cancer to stay alive and thrive, taking her tinctures or teas as long as they used nettles daily. However, both of her friends stopped using the cure after 2 yrs, upon feeling so improved. Within 6 mths they were both overcome with cancer once again.

My friend, now 87yrs of age, continues to prosper and work industriously every day while using nettle tea and tincture.

Wishing good health to all.

I was diagnosed with AML in December 2014.This is what I have done:

• I had chemo, which didn't work, worst experience of my life, so I gave that up as a joke.
• I placed myself In Gods hands for healing and guidance
• drink purified water
• Liquid minerals such as sea MD
• Eat as much as possible a raw vegan diet
• vitamin c infusions/liposomal vitamin C/ sodium ascorbate. High dosage daily. The infusions once weekly, but I stopped these a couple months ago and am relying on the other types of vitamin C. You can take it until bowel tolerance which will determine your maximum dosage.
• Loads of supplements eg SELENIUM, vitamin D, E, K, ionic calcium, ionic magnesium and others
• Chinese herbal medicine.

I just did a lot of research and bought supplements that were shown to kill AML cell lines.

I got my first favourable report from my haematologist last month. He had me all ready to go to hospital for a transfusion due to low platelet count the previous month (I guess he just assumed with this disease the downward spiral would continue) however this didn't happen. My platelets nearly tripled in number and there were no blasts in my blood.He said he was pleasantly surprised, he said to keep doing what I was doing. That was an amazing statement from him as he does not believe in anything else working except the standard medical route.

I started taking essential oils internally a month before this favourable report.

Essential Oils (Young Living), as follows:

• frankincense
• idaho balsam fir
• idaho blue spruce
• orange
• lemon

I have been doing studies on natural remedies for cancer. My husband was diagnosed with bladder Cancer, I was diagnosed with Endometrial cancer and my friend with AML. My husband and I are both in remission and so is my friend, All done with natural herbs and supplements. I had my friend with AML [Acute myeloid leukemia] take Coral Calcium, Milk Thistle, and Oregano Oil with carvacrol 70. After treatment with those three things she went into remission after four months! This is no joke! I did the same, and my husband did also but I had him add frankensense oil to his regimen. I'm not a medical doctor so I cannot legally prescribe any medication. I assume no liability. Just wanted to share my experiences with you.

Lee, I was diagnosed w/ AML in 1997, refused bone marrow transplant, and miraculously survived. I didn't take any H2O2 but did take lots of Vit-C. The H2O2 has the potential to be a game changer in your condition, but since you may not get the first-hand response you requested, follow the rule "start low and go slow" (which is the recommended method). If you don't get positive results after having reached the maximum dose and perhaps a week or two beyond, drop it and adopt a new protocol. The health advocate Jon Barron of Baseline For Health recommends first buffering/alkalizing prior to H2O2 as the oxygen levels of a well buffered body are many more times higher than not. You can use oral routes for this or (and what I would recommend in your acute condition) take whole body hot baths w/ added baking soda & epsom salts (also is very good detoxifier).

I would also recommend Milk Thistle Seed Extract for liver support as the bone marrow will depress w/ a toxic liver. For immune support do the Thymus recommends that I posted a few days ago under a lupus heading somewhere. This will really help your immune system. Also for the immune system and bone marrow support is the herb Astragalus Root. If you are running a temp it is advised to not use as it will raise temp about 1 or 2 degrees.

Hope this helps and good luck. Report your results.

Ted, Thank you for your posting, it's extremely interesting. I do have a question to ask & hope you can clear it up for me. I use a pH tester for my urine & was told to keep it between 7.0 & 7.3. I have a Chronic lymphatic leukemia & as soon as I started using 1/4 teasp. bicarbonate soda & 1/4 teasp. Citric Acid, all my inflamation disappeared, consequently, I had no need for chemo (which I was to have) & still after 11 months have no inflamation. Would it be possible to clear up the required pH levels. Would they be different in Australia or is this a standard world wide measure? Thank you very much for your time.

There was a couple of cases I know personally where leukemia was helped by raising the pH.

One case I had from Australia who went into remission from Leukemia, where the scheduled chemotherapy was to take place.

The blood pH needs not be raise, but when we take sufficient alkalinity, the biochemical makeup of the body is changed. The leukemia remedy that one case use was 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon of citric acid in 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day. It takes about 3 or 4 weeks to get the body's pH BUFFERS sufficient level where the body can handle or raise its immune system.

Hence, while the urinary alkalinity is raise the blood pH pretty much stays within normal range the only differences is that pH acid spikes don't occur and this is where the body can be sufficiently "alkalinity" from more pH buffers take place in allowing the body's immune system to be high enough where the white blood cells can digest the excess leukemia buildup in the body.

The remedy that was mentioned was an old one, a newer remedy I think that might help raise the body's buffering system necessary to support the immune system is 1/2 teaspoon of sodium citrate plus 1/8 teaspoon of potassium citrate in 1/2 glass of water taken at least twice (preferably) three times a day.

Once this is taken for about a month whichever remedy mentioned, the remedy is reduced to about 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid in 1/2 glass of water.

It is the alkalinity buffer which prevents the acid pH spikes, while it is true the body's homeostasis is excellent, it KNOWS that the body is alkaline, from the changes in biochemical portions in the body and the alkalinity nature of the urine pH is also reflected. Hence, we need not raise the pH in the blood, raise in the urine, and get sufficient alkaline pH buffers is all that is needed.

Mind you this is a simple leukemia remedy that I found to be helpful, when the alkalinity is raised, the oxygen levels in the blood goes up, the carbonic acid waste gas carbon dioxide is reduced, and the nitric oxide levels in the body is raised (it degrades needlessly if there is LACK of alkaline pH buffers). Hence to further raise the oxygen, I believe adding 3-5 drops of 3% H2O2 food grade to the alkaline remedy twice a day. The H2O2 also oxidizes toxins by oxidation and this may also reduce unnecessary toxic burden which aids in the body's immune system.

A much simpler remedy of course, if supplements can't be found is 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice plus 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water taken three times a day.

One other case of cancer that was helped was simply adding 1 drop of clove oil in 1/2 or 1 glass of water three timds a day. After adding this, it is stirred and then drink. However, the clove oil works best when added with the baking soda. Clove oil is the single most powerful antioxidant on the ORAC scale.

Hope this info helps!
