Need Remedies for Low Hemoglobin From AML

Posted by Jo (Texas) on 02/09/2022

Hi!

Does anyone know of a home remedy for low hemoglobin, Red Blood cells, and low platelets, or has anyone had this condition? It is supposed to be from cancer in the blood called (blasts). Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Thanks.

Liverwurst is a great alternative for red blood cells. Full of blood building vitamins, natural folate, ect.

Might see progress with platelets. Shark liver oil is said to help platelets. I haven't tried it but heard it might.

Jo,

Melatonin increases hemoglobin levels and protects erythrocytes/red blood cells against oxidative stress. It has also shown synergy with certain chemotherapeutic agents such as these :

It also does not interfere with the cytotoxic effects of these agents on the leukemia cells.

Colloidal silver may also be a consideration :

Based on this next study, CS showed toxicity against AML cells, but potent antioxidants tended to nullify the effects of CS, suggesting that taking antioxidants during use of CS is not a good idea. Melatonin is a highly potent antioxidant suggesting that it may cancel the effects of CS on AML cells.

Melatonin can also increase platelet count.

Thanks Art for the information. I really appreciate it, but how much of the melatonin do I use on a daily basis?

I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you what to take, I can only tell you that Dr. Shallenberger gives 180 mg of melatonin to all of his patients and as much as double that in his stage 4 cancer patients. Myself, I take at least 120 mg per night. The world-renowned melatonin researcher, Dr. Reiter, takes 80 mg per day. He has been involved in thousands of melatonin studies.

According to website https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/anemia/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351366

Anemia treatment (low hemoglobin treatment) depends on the cause.

  • Iron deficiency anemia. Treatment for this form of anemia usually involves taking iron supplements and changing your diet. For some people, this might involve receiving iron through a vein.

    If the cause of iron deficiency is loss of blood — other than from menstruation — the source of the bleeding must be located and the bleeding stopped. This might involve surgery.

  • Vitamin deficiency anemias. Treatment for folic acid and vitamin C deficiency involves dietary supplements and increasing these nutrients in your diet.

    If your digestive system has trouble absorbing vitamin B-12 from the food you eat, you might need vitamin B-12 shots. At first, you might have the shots every other day. Eventually, you'll need shots just once a month, possibly for life, depending on your situation.

  • Anemia of chronic disease. There's no specific treatment for this type of anemia. Doctors focus on treating the underlying disease. If symptoms become severe, a blood transfusion or injections of a synthetic hormone normally produced by your kidneys (erythropoietin) might help stimulate red blood cell production and ease fatigue.
  • Aplastic anemia. Treatment for this anemia can include blood transfusions to boost levels of red blood cells. You might need a bone marrow transplant if your bone marrow can't make healthy blood cells.
  • Anemias associated with bone marrow disease. Treatment of these various diseases can include medication, chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation.
  • Hemolytic anemias. Managing hemolytic anemias includes avoiding suspect medications, treating infections and taking drugs that suppress your immune system, which could be attacking your red blood cells. Severe hemolytic anemia generally needs ongoing treatment.
  • Sickle cell anemia. Treatment might include oxygen, pain relievers, and oral and intravenous fluids to reduce pain and prevent complications. Doctors might also recommend blood transfusions, folic acid supplements and antibiotics. A cancer drug called hydroxyurea (Droxia, Hydrea, Siklos) also is used to treat sickle cell anemia.
  • Thalassemia. Most forms of thalassemia are mild and require no treatment. More-severe forms of thalassemia generally require blood transfusions, folic acid supplements, medication, removal of the spleen, or a blood and bone marrow stem cell transplant.

Jo, Are you positive it is from AML? May I suggest you test yourself for hypothyroidism because...

1) Lifestyle factors can cause high estrogen levels, then...

2) The excess estrogen can suppress your thyroid gland I.e. cause hypothyroidism. And...

3) No one will tell you this, but some of the symptoms of hypothyroidism are low hemoglobin, low RBC count, low WBC count, and or low Neutrophils... I.e. the exact same symptoms you seem to be having. Further...

4) You CAN diagnose yourself for hypothyroidism. The morning basal temperature test is a DIY test that is far more accurate than the dubious and unreliable lab test known as TSH.
