CLL diagnosis- After a diagnosis of any type of cancer most, including myself, search for life style changes or supplements that could slow down the progress of the disease or best of all put it into remission.
Some of my friends shared stories of others successes surviving cancer and that's why I began drinking at least 2 cups of green tea daily and a southern friend swore by the benefits of Muscadine Grape Seed tablets, not just any type of grape seed but specifically the southern Muscadine seed. Why not, I figured it shouldn't make it worse. I did this daily for about 8 years and my white count and lymphocytes stalled and then began lowering to normal. I stopped the green tea and muscadine seed tablets a few years after my blood counts were normal. The oncologist calls it a spontaneous remission, no cure evidently for CLL, it would be found in the bone marrow and it's possible to reappear. No interest in a another Bone Marrow Biopsy which was the standard way to prove diagnosis 26 years ago. I I have no desire to experience that painful procedure again and no point in doing it anyway. Now at age 76 which is 26 years after my diagnosis I still have no CLL markers in my blood .
