Hello, my hematologist/oncologist office does not have one so I saw a nutritionist at a medical center in my area. I felt it was a complete waste of time as she told me things I know were wrong and also basic stuff they teach you in kindergarten. She told me to stay away from Orange juice and Vit C because it effects my Gleevec from working and told me to eat grapefruit. Seriously... Has anyone else seen someone they found as reputable and could you please share anything that stood out that we could be eating that would help boost are immune system, help fight leukemia or help the Gleevec work better. Thank you
Has or does anyone see a nutritionist

Eat well, take a multi and extra C, and ride your horse.

I figure as long as I don't go overboard and limit my alcohol consumption, I am going to eat what I want. I always thank them and focus on the truth I do not smoke.
I often receive praise for being a non smoker and the diet is forgotten about.
I am a self proclaimed food-aholic. My cholesterol is good and besides the PH my arteries are open. My hardest time is baking, I make all my guys lunch stuff from scratch. I have never, ever, meet a cookie dough or cake batter I didn't love.

chrissy,
There are so many meds out there that stress Do not eat grapefruit with this medication I can't believe a nutritionist told you to eat it. I was told to just take a multi-vitamin. I was told not to take vit c because of one of the meds I am on but I can't remember which one. Oh
hell I'll be standing in front of my refrigerator with the door open and I can't remember if I just put something away or I was getting something out.

Billie....the temperature and her birthday are not always the same. If it were our ages would constantly change, going backward and forward with the thermometer. And people in Erie would be a negative age on some days, meaning you would not be born when the thermometer falls below zero.

Thank you Lucas, I can lose weight easily. When I let my anxiety get the best of me I can lose a few pounds in one day, it stinks. I am the same weight I was at diagnosis right now so that is good. For a time I kept checking it so I finally put the scale in the garage because I was becoming obsessed with it. Billie Happy b Lated Birthday, I hope it was a good one ..... Mine is actually in April on the 9th I am a Aries They are impulsive but easy to get along with, I think I will stick with you any how...even though I am not a Pices

I think what you want to see is a Naturopath, they can do tests and infusions, and B12 shots for energy. B12 is the vitamen that builds red blood cells.
And you have to find a good one which is not easy, ask for referrals from friends..
