Red, I am seen at CARTI in Little Rock Arkansas. My oncologist/hematologist was unimpressed by the theories which advance the idea that there are spices and/or foods that will slow or stop the progression of MGUS, stating that there is insufficient data to support this.
My general philosophy is not to worry about things I can’t control. I do believe that a healthy diet contributes to overall good health and I think that is supported by data…of course that keeps changing.
I try to watch my weight (sometimes I watch it going in the wrong direction !) , exercise irregularly. If you avoid the stuff we know is toxic, that can’t hurt and will better prepare you to fight off any physical challenge.
I have type 2 diabetes so I actively work on reducing my A1C.
This wait-and-see business is maddening, but there are things we can do to optimize our health and our ability to fend off disease. Everything that I have read about MGUS is that patients mostly die of something else besides MM. Optimizing our overall health should be our focus. At least that’s my perspective. We had quite a discussion on this in another thread and I decided to stay the course.
Glad you found us. Sorry you share our focus.
Patty
