MDS cured by a macrobiotic diet?

Yes that is like me saying Oh Yes Red Wine. Is that one or two with ice? When we very well no alcohol is to be avoided because it destroys platelet count. My doctor said one was fine if you can manage with one. I'm afraid our condition may make that more tempting.

I became a distributor (can buy it wholesale) after being on it for 2 years, because I knew I'd want to take it for the rest of my life. Now my husband and daughter are on it too (1 kid per adult get it free for up to 3 years). Since my diagnosis, I have googled foods that help or hinder AA, and I try to avoid alcohol, dairy, tahini and cranberry juice due to studies I've found. I have read that pomegranate juice can help platelets, and also eating real licorice lol! Now...if I can have pomegranate martini's every once in awhile does that balance everything out? If you have any other helpful info to share, that would be great! Good luck guys )

I am interested as well. I'm pretty sure that my son's AA was caused by a virus. We got our sons' passport pictures taken in Jan and my 8 yr old has bright red lips and rosy cheeks in his picture. Then he got a virus with a month long cough that he gave to his father and brother. The other two got better, but he never did. I fear that the virus is still in there somewhere, and when we immune-suppress him it will rear it's ugly head and overwhelm him. At the same time I do believe his AA is a an auto-immune response to the virus, as it's not the first one he's had.
