Stopping Myeloma at the MGUS Stage

Nutrivention seems to possibly imply nutritional intervention. I wonder if this study is examining whether a meat-free diet will cause MGUS to stop progressing. It’s an interesting proposition. My husband and I were never big meat eaters but we stopped eating meat entirely almost 20 years ago. While my disease has “progressed” from one simple Mspike of 0.4 kappa, in 19 years I now have three bands, one including Lambda, mostly light chains and 0.5 M spike, but have not progressed to actual myeloma. Thank you for all your helpful information and best to you. Carole

It is nutritional intervention using a whole food plant-based diet, but it is much more than simply removing meat from your diet. I work with a nutritionist every month who sends me resources, answers questions, and teaches me how to make it work for proper nutrition. The diet is basically vegan, so no meat, dairy, or other animal products. Sugars and oils are also severely limited. I'm only a few days in so I'm still finding my way.
