Holistic adjunct treatment for Myelodysplastic Syndrome typically involves natural supplements that try to treat some symptoms and prevent infection. While no definitive "cure" for the condition has been identified, a few remedies might help fortify the body and immune system. However, they should only be used with a doctor's supervision and not as stand-alone remedies.
Unfortunately, as you will read below in our Reader Feedback section, we have been sent very little information over the years from Earth Clinic readers about this condition. If you have ever tried a natural remedy for this condition like hydrogen peroxide therapy, kindly send us your feedback.
Myelodysplastic syndrome or MDS is a term used to describe the condition caused by poorly formed blood cells. The bone marrow is a spongy tissue within the bones in which stem cells develop and mature to red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. If the stem cells are unable to mature to healthy blood cells, however, MDS is the result.
Common symptoms of the condition include shortness of breath, fatigue and tiredness, pale skin, easy bruising or bleeding, and frequent infections. The causes of the syndrome vary but stem from something happening to disrupt the normal production of blood cells.
Risk factors associated with the development of the condition include being over the age of 60, being male, having chemotherapy or radiation treatment, and being exposed to certain chemicals including benzene or heavy metals.
While no definitive cure for myelodysplastic syndrome has been identified, natural remedies may be helpful in treating some symptoms. Hydrogen peroxide, curcumin, and gingerol are three non-toxic natural compounds that are thought to deliver healing properties.
The only germicidal agent composed of just water and oxygen, hydrogen peroxide attacks disease by oxidation. Generally perceived as a “controlled burning process,” oxidation reacts with the organic matter and decomposes it into water and oxygen. As such, peroxide oxidizes any disease-causing agents in the bone marrow, substantiating the health of the blood.
Curcumin is an important component of turmeric and is known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. These components may be helpful in alleviating certain symptoms.
Gingerols are the effective components of ginger. These substances inhibit inflammation and remove toxins in the body. The compound’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it a helpful adjunct remedy.
