If not, please click here: http://margaret.healthblogs.org/life-with-myeloma/discovery-of-curcumin/curcumin-and-bortezomib/egcg-and-bortezomib That study came as very bad news for devoted green-tea-drinking patients on Velcade, even though, as Dr. Durie pointed out during a patient seminar that I attended last fall, those patients can still have [...] (Source: Margaret's Corner) Margaret's Corner blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3291997 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 18:44:43 +0100 3291997 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2453080&cid=t_105694_136_f&fid=36168&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmargaret.healthblogs.org%2F2009%2F06%2F01%2Fencouraging-egcg-data-emerges-from-mayo-clinic-leukemia-trials%2F By now I have a rather daunting backlog of Science Daily updates in my e-box…so, whenever I have a snippet of time, I try to go through a few. As I did yesterday, which is when I came upon a very promising article (http://tinyurl.com/qxcf96) on EGCG, extracted, as we know, from green tea.   A recently-published Mayo [...] (Source: Margaret's Corner) Margaret's Corner blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2453080 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:34:11 +0100 2453080 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2156645&cid=t_105694_136_f&fid=36168&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmargaret.healthblogs.org%2F2009%2F02%2F04%2Fegcg-blocks-velcade%2F My thanks today go to a blog reader who sent me this link to a February 3 2009 “Blood” abstract: http://tinyurl.com/c9ppr2 Even though I haven’t accessed the full study yet (but hope to do so soon), the abstract provides enough information to determine that if you are on Velcade (bortezomib) or any other boronic acid-based proteasome inhibitor, you [...] (Source: Margaret's Corner) Margaret's Corner blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2156645 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 08:38:49 +0100 2156645 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2157118&cid=t_105694_136_f&fid=36162&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmyelomablog.com%2F2009%2F02%2F03%2Fgreen-tea-polyphenols-block-the-anticancer-effects-of-bortezomib-and-other-boronic-acid-based-proteasome-inhibitors%2F This caught my eye because I’ve been on Velcade before and never gave a second thought to whether or not I should not be consuming green tea/green tea products.

But so far, the first morning after the first dose of CC-4047 2 mg and dexamethasone (dex) 40 mg, I feel quite normal. I was a little restless toward morning, but that's not unusual, and not surprising in these circumstances. I got back to sleep and awoke refreshed. Are my thighs a little tired feeling, or am I imagining that? Time will tell. This is Saturday morning, so normally I would be running with the St Croix Valley Runners right about now, but it's six degrees BELOW zero and I have wimped out! I'll run on the indoor track at "the club" later today, with my sweeties. That will be an interesting test. Yesterday's visit to Mayo was uneventful, really. No more holes poked in me. We did a lot of talking and I picked up the CC-4047 and dex. A few things g...

Now I'm feeling a little guilty that I haven't already implemented all of her recommendations, because my Mayo visit is only about four weeks away, not a lot of time to see results from the enhanced regimen. Nevertheless I can't start any sooner than today, so here goes the new supplement regimen: Supplement Quantity Coenzyme Q-10 200 mg Curcumin, NSI 4640 mg Curcumin, Dr Best 4000 mg EGCG 1750 mg Feverfew 1600 mg Flaxseed Oil 1000 mg Genistein 70 mg Quercetin 4000 mg Reishi Mushroom 3000 mg Resveratrol 400 mg Selenium 200 mcg Vitamin D 5000 iu Vitamin K 8.1 mg This is divided into a morning dose and an evening dose, in both cases at least a half hour before a meal.

I already knew Dr. HH from other circumstances, and had recently discovered that she is has a specialty in cancer is a member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians. So it was high time that I spent the effort and money to hear what she might have to say about staving off myeloma. The expense is actually quite modest. We talked about a LOT of things, including some issues other than myeloma, and I'm still digesting it. Dr. HH isn't like my conventional doctors, who tend to listen to the problem and then prescribe a specific treatment and walk out the door. Dr. HH apparently believes that I already know a little about the potential treatments (the jury's still out on that), so she more or less considered this ...
