From a brief scan this looks similar to a selenium and iodine deficiency plus arsenic and/or other heavy metal toxicity. Probably malnutrition in general, maybe other toxicity like cigarettes, DDT or some such. (I'm not a doctor, I just read a lot) If he were me I would do as follows: First thing every morning do the Sea salt colon cleanse - look it up *must be done away from food and drinks to work correctly ie on an empty stomach An hour later Fresh lemon juice, a pinch of Cayenne, and fresh grated ginger root (a 1 inch piece) in a glass of cool water every day - may add vitamin C per Linus Pauling For breakfast smoothies made of fresh Leafy greens such as parsley, cilantro, collards, rosemary, thyme, etc. - add a teaspoon of baking soda and a couple drops of Lugol's iodine (look up how to use Lugol's) For lunch drink a potent Meal replacement supplement (such as Ensure - my favorite, or Boost) For dinner Hot, thin soups with cabbage, turmeric, cayenne, mustard seed powder, garlic, onion, tofu, miso, mushrooms, lemongrass, thyme. Look up "low residue diet" Baking soda 1/2 tsp. in a large glass of water before bed - look up Ted's alkalizing remedy on EarthClinic Simple, soft foods like baked eggplant, hummus, fresh aloe gel Veeeery low carb/sugar, use organic virgin coconut oil if extra calories are needed Avoid potentially inflammatory foods like dairy, tomatoes, potatoes, cracked peppercorns, etc., no smoking, alcohol, recreational drugs Plenty of pure filtered water - no fluoride, no tap water, no soda/Coke, coffee, store bought pasteurized juices, milk, chocolate, caffeine Herbal tea is probably OK - esp. Elderberry, slippery elm, chamomile, dandelion There are various liver cleanses, chanca piedra, wormwood that may benefit him Hot baths with Epsom salt and baking soda every day, full body massage with organic virgin coconut oil - not mineral oil, sun bathing, lots of rest This is all depending upon his ability to tolerate it, everyone is different so use caution and educate yourself. Cleaning up his elimination channels (colon, kidneys, etc.) and providing adequate nutrition are likely the first step to his recovery. Best wishes

POEMS Syndrome: Treatment consists of low dose of Lenalidomide(10-12mg), dexamethasone(0.5mg). -(21 days cycle and a week off chemotherapy, to stabilize the syndrome). That may take a year. Then a higher dose of chemotherapy(by intravenous) few days before stem cells transplant. That would improve greatly the life of the patient(56 year-old from diagnosis, relatively in good health).
