This is totally antedoctal, but two things seem to help me (likely the same ingredients in both): Nappa (chinese cabbage). I crave it like crazy sometimes when I am low on energy, and the Natural Factors Vitamins I started taking. Maybe just coincidence with the nappa, but when I am down and eat it daily it boosts my energy. The vitamins have had a positive effect on my hemoglobin--it has gone up 2 grams since I started, and my energy level rose even before my hemoglobin did. Nappa is chock full of all kinds of vitamins you would not expect in a veggie--like calcium. Again just my story, I have no facts to back up the effect of these things on MDS. I have tried all kinds of things--chlorophyl, other herbs, b12--with no real effect, my current vitamins seem to be doing the trick consistently.
