Abigail C - Acute Myeloid Leukemia

[Elonna]

Dear Candice,

Welcome to The Corner. I'm so glad you found us, but my heart breaks at the reason for having to do so. I cannot even imagine. I am so sorry for my delay in replying to your posts. I've been away from The Corner for a few weeks because of some personal issue within our family and due to my going back to work which has essentially kicked my bottom side and zapped me of strength as well as clarity of thought by the end of those days because of the demands on my body. However, all this is improving, I am getting stronger, I'm not as exhausted as I was the first few weeks, and I am positive that I am getting stronger from the demands at my work place of more walking and standing than I would be able to reproduce at my home.

I am also so sorry that you had to find our Corner and learn of Protocel for your daughter's condition. I know that it is extremely hard on parents of sick children and that you all feel the burden of the responsibility of making decisions/choices for your children. I cannot completely understand what you are going through, but do feel that I understand a portion of it because of the loss of our daughter, and I definitely can advise you on any concerns surrounding Protocel and her healing journey.

I do have a huge concern regarding the use of Bio-Superfood: This particular product really concerns me and it is NOT something that I feel should ever be used by someone with cancer and using Protocel. I know that some Protocel user are advised to use it, but I completely disagree with this advice.

There are some key words that I look for when individuals ask me if a given product is fine to take along with Protocel. These words surround words such as "increase the body's energy levels", "gives the body increased endurance", "boosts the body's immune system" (while this particular comment is not necessarily a negative thing, some immune boosting products absolutely need to be avoided when taking Protocel).

Here are just a few claims concerning this particular product:

1. "...boosting and balancing their immune systems, .... Increases dynamic metabolic rejuvenation and healing."

2. "BioSuperFood is a whole food supplement naturally blending together about 5,000 nutrients and high concentration: vitamins, enzymes, minerals, trace elements, Omega 3, 6, 9, amino acids and more. Let best blend of algae help you staying young."

These comments are not explained. It is not a good suggestion for one to boost certain of their vitamin intake nor is it a good thing for them to be taking Omega 3 products. The Omega 3 products have been shown to slow Protocel down and in some situations even render it ineffective. While some vitamins are okay to supplement with, most are not.


We are here if you have questions or concerns as well as to support and pray for your doing Abigail's recovery journey.
