Health Nut
I've been into excercise and nutrition all my life, but since CML, I've taken it to the next dimension. I've found myself becoming infatuated with eating the right things and taking the right vitamins. After all, you are what you eat. Here are some of the latest things I've been reading up on and experimenting with...
Acai (Pronounced a-sigh-ee)
This is a berry that comes from the Amazon. It's been used for a thousand years and is known for being packed with anti-oxidants which are known to kick some cancer ass. Or at least help prevent it. Here's a study by the University of Florida that found Acai has positive effects in battling leukemic cells... http://news.ufl.edu/2006/01/12/berries/
"Red Lightning" by Nature's Plus
Came across this stuff at the health food store. Again, packed with anti-oxidants and an ORAC rating of 4000 "supposedly". ORAC rates antioxidant capacity in food.
Shark Liver Oil
You'd think I'd be consulting the Ouija board next, but this stuff has shown promise as an immune booster and a trigger for boosting platelets, which I'm also low on.
We'll see what happens. I really like the Acai so far. It's a nice healthy booster in the morning when mixed with juice.

And as your wife I am dragged along on this "miracle herb" experience with you! :)
At least we'll probably be healthier than most out there!

Hi there , just found your blog and subbed to it. As a recently diagnosed CML sufferer (not sure that is the right word as not really suffering at the minute...) I have been on the web looking up all sorts of stuff on CML and found you...
Your berries I can do (i think it comes in some off the shelf smoothies in the UK), but the shark liver oil doesn't sound too appetizing.
Historically I have been one of those sorts who generally eat and drank what I felt like, without too much thought as to eating healthily, but am changing my perception slowly.
Anywya hope everything goes ok for you and will keep reading

Hi James,
You can get your leukimia cells down by using Quolin Qigong exercise. Here is a complete report on 20 years studies on Qigong therapy on Cancer Treatment

The effective qigong exercise is the Guolin Qigong. You can start to apply the Guolin Qigong anticancer walk immediately for free. Go to YouTube and Search for Dr Farid + Qigong and you can find 4 short videos explaining and showing the quolin qigong walk.
I wish you all the best in yoru recovery.
