It will be good to hear what your hematologist has to say.

You're wise to get her (or his) advice before trying this experiment.

I am anticipating he'll be resistant to quitting the hydroxyurea, which is why I'll propose a 1 month trial, just to see what happens. By then, I'll be tested again and we'll have lab results to show how effective it is and whether it's safe.

@janemc He has agreed with my idea of using the cranberry juice. His only concern was the sugar, but I have decided to dilute 50/50 with water. That will lessen the sugar and its impact on my A1C, but it won't affect the phytochemicals that are included in the juice.
