FYI, when my mother was diagnosed, it had metastasized to her liver; this was when her liver enzymes were out the roof. This was in early 2022. Since then, her enzymes have normalized. I’m not sure why you assume you know everything about this, you clearly don’t. You would be well advised to do more research.
A congratulations regarding her progress instead of a brow beating with more jargon about ‘the science’ is a more appropriate response.
Thank-you

@shelli3300 I've done a ton of research and just completed a clinical trial at Mayo Rochester under the care of a CLL specialist who only treats this one disease. I'm also a CLL patient at the NIH and participate in a study there as well. I'm confident in my knowledge of the disease and its treatment options and have read countless research papers. Can you please provide supporting scientific evidence (a research paper perhaps) which supports your claim? CLL is highly heterogeneous. While your mother may be in the 30% indolent category the rest of us are not. Stating unscientific facts giving false hope to many patients offering treatment options unsupported by science, or the CLL community as a whole, is unhelpful. Again, seeking guidance by a true CLL specialist at Mayo is a smart move, jumping on unproven supplementation is not.

Perhaps this CLL Society link will help

Vitamin D is the only supplementation which has some scientific support.

Or this one more specific

"In many normal and malignant cells, increased GSH [glutathione] level is associated with a proliferative response and is essential for cell cycle progression"

Adding GSH may actually be doing harm.
