Improving LABS

[merryBe]

most of you know I relapsed and that my labs shot up from the 30's to the 250 range.

here are my latest labs and how I got them there:

Alt 57  (down from 250)

ast 30  (down from 180)

iron 47  (down from 400)

ammonia 22  (down from 125)


method.s...

for alt/ast= discontinued every drug I could including all the helper drugs I was put on during chemo

for inflammation which also causes cell death=included several natural anti-inflammatories, melatonin curcurmin, milk thistle and more

to reduce and maintain low iron=included iron binding lactoferrin nd calcium, reduced red meat and acidic elements when eating heme foods

for ammonia level= lower protein serving sizes and increased fiber in diet

So far so good!!!   Only thing still needs improving is my platelet level, still low at 109, but other than that,
there are ways to improve things.

My thanks to all the forum members who contributed to my understanding of how to achieve better liver health.
It is wonderful to get this news today!!

I've a lot to be Merry for!!

well, I'd most like to get my hands on the fuzheng huayu but they won't sell it here.
I'm thinking of growing my own to be honest.

filtered water always, used to distil it until I learned better...
only toothpastes made state side, nothing from overseas.
not as worried about soaps as the molecules are only on me for a few moments, and most are too large to absorb.
not sure about the mushrooms...what is your source?  As you know they have to be pure to work. I'm getting all my vitamins made in the USA, and am not convinced foreign sources can all be trusted. Especially the stuff from China is suspect.
Where is you extract coming from? Do they run any quality controls, etc?

I've every intention of trying that. Unfortunately I already began physical therapy and ended up with sudden onset essential body wide tremors.

at first the docs thought this was vertigo, then parkinsons, but now they are beginning to agree with me that it is a withdrawal response to discontinuing so many mind altering drugs such as:
ambien, lorezepam (ativan) and remeron.

Even though I withdrew these slowly over several months, they are known for messing up brain chemicals and for rebounds such as I experienced.
tachacardia (heart palpataions), tremors, headaches etcetc etc.

usually these settle down in a few months, so I am hoping to return to activity soon, but have to be careful for now since activity sets off tremors that keep me from sleeping. They have me on Requip now to offer some small dopamine antagonistic effects and this is helping. However, the tremors were so bad I only slept 2 hours a night for about 10 weeks...so I'm taking things slow for now.

You are right though, normally, activity is the best solution for low platelets. Thanks!

Wow! I am much impressed and know there are folks on the forum who will really appreciate your how-to.  Might I suggest trying to add some strenuous exercise, like say, speed walking, to up platelets?
