Baking day!

Dr. Glen Luepnitz - the guy we saw yesterday. He is very good and has a lot of knowledge about nutrition and cancer. Very very nice man. He looked to be in his 40's and then the phone rings and he gets off and says : that was my grandson! We were like - wow - then I asked if he was a teen dad :) So either he has great genes or he just really knows how to take care of himself - or both! Here is what he suggested - there are some other things to but that aren't really worth writing down.

 Glutamine Powder 3 times daily, Tourine 2000mg day, CoQ10 200 mg daily as far as supplements. Follow the GI diet (G.I. is Glycemic Index) It's really just changing your eating habits so Aj/we will maintain a low glucose level (most fruits, berries - no melons and no tropical fruit, all veggies must (they can be raw if they can be washed thorough) be cooked/seared/stir fried so this does not allow Aj to eat salads which is allowed on the GI diet due to insecticides and the chance of getting sick while on chemo. All meats must be lean and ideally ground/flaked/stewed and well marinated. Vit. B6 100 mg daily (with all meals) and Magnesuim Malate 1000 mg/day. 


He said that the WBC that is up is a fake one - like we know. But he also mentioned that the whites that are being produced are 'babies' they don't really know a whole lot. WBC goes on memory and live about 3 years. That they wouldn't really know how to fight an infection even if the count was high right now. Not that he is in a danger zone but for sure not eating salads :) 


I spoke to Amira today and  I told her Aj has some more supplements he wants to take. Her respond was in the broadest Texan accent: Ya'll wanna take mooore supplements???? :) :) :) So she advised to ask Dr. H what she says, I'll call there tomorrow. Its so lets say he doesn't take magnesium and his levels are normal so that it gets above normal. We'll see :) 




Now I will get a couple of more books and cookbooks to my library more to read - can we change the day's hours from 24 to 36 ?? :) 


Aj has a bit of pain in his back tonight, I called the on call doctor and asked her if it could have anything to do with the spinal - chemo and she said its too far out from that. That the pain is from the Neulasta shot - the bones ache to produce more whites blood cells. This darn Neulasta :) Its causing more pain than the chemo itself ! Other than that he is doing great! :)
