IP-6

I have CLL with marrow failure.

I've tried many, many alternatives over the years (11 1/2) I've dealt with intermediate, now aggressive CLL.

I didn't notice any success with IP-6. I think it might have value as a chelating agent, but it didn't seem to affect my CLL.

It's hard to know what effect anything has on blood cancers. I've tried watercress (PEICT), curcumin, EGCG (which according to my expert CLL doc is a 'weak leukemiacide'...hey weak is better than nothing), vitamin D3, zinc (to reduce copper and curb angiogenesis), resveratrol, querticin, hops, herbal medicine and perhaps other agents I've forgotten.

I have had progressive disease throughout, so none of those is a cure (but I think we all would know that). Perhaps it has slowed the course of the disease, but who knows?

I do know that the mainstream drug's 'mojo' is more powerful than over-the-counter mojo. In fact, it was FCR (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab) that has apparently destroyed my marrow. Maybe too powerful...
