Sweet Success Boosting Blood Count

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Faced with a 54 year old female who was refusing a blood transfusion, her count at 4.8 from the chemotherapy, the doctors were throwing their hands in the air.

How would we boost the blood count in a cancer patient with out a blood transfusion.

She was being given EPO, a recumbent form of the human hormone that makes precursor cell wannabes turn into red blood cells. It creates an autohyperfusion so that the patient will not need a transfusion.

Only problem, for EPO to work, it needs the building blocks of blood.

It was suggested to offer the patient who had no appetite what so ever a spoon full of peanut butter (protein) and black strap molasses (rich in absorbable iron) three times a day. The result, a o.3 gram per deciliter increase in her count every day until she got to 8.5 where it would rise no higher.

A rise of O.3 Grams is about 1/3 of a unit of blood. Only thing, it was her blood, her wishes observed, and it worked. Bloodless Medicine provided a blood transfusion avoidance option. A cancer treatment with out blood.
