Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hi Ramona, I am new here, this being my first post. Your topic caught my attention because nearly three years ago I had APL Leukemia, and I had many blood transfusions. I was not raw then, althou I had learned of it throu my daughter, but I had been a vegetarian on and off thru the years, and also alot of sad food as well. At the time I was under an insane amount of stress, and drank alot of diet colas, and other bad habits (aspertame has been linked to Leukemia) I did not smoke or drink. Anyway, I have been raw for going on three months~ after going vegan and juicing alot since the cancer, and to throw in my two cents, I would of loved to haved received some ultra healthy raw~ food blood in a transfusion back then. I was treated by the mainstream medical profession. APL is a acute rare form of Leukemia which will kill a person within weeks of getting it, if not treated (by something) My white cells were astronomicaly high, my platlets were 5,000 or so, and I was begining to bleed internaly~ my red blood cells were very low, and I was told I was anemic ect ect. I took ATRA~ a vitamin A form for 1 year. This has been developed specifically for this particular type of Leukemia. The gene translocation (taken from bone marrow) has returned to normal, and I am considered cured. At this point it all seems like a sureal dream, and I am not sure what I had really, but blood did help pull me thru at that dire time in my life, and I eventually did become a raw fooder because my health is my wealth, and it was a BIG warning! To stay separated from mainstream society may be a choice for some, and I can see why, but I think if one is strong and healthy, in mind and body; sharing, even ever so slightly, increases the greater good. I do often wonder how a holistic Doctor would have treated this or if anyone has any experience with this type of Leukemia, as they are all quite different. You never know how it may touch a person...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
