I have found that when I'm in full nutritional ketosis, the time between my phlebotomies can increase from 4-weeks to up to five months! A diet that puts you in nutritional ketosis is very low in carbohydrates and sugar in any form. You should consult with your medical care team before making a significant change to your diet to ensure that it is safe for you to do. This has been my personal experience and your milage may vary, but it does tend to make sense that you deprive the cancer of the food sources that feed it it will slow the blood production down.

Thanks, Good advice, will bring it up with my Dr

Thanks for sharing about the hair loss...thankfully I have a thick head of hair since I lose so much every day. I am seeing lung specialist due to the shortness of breath. I am on 3 inhalers and have a nebulizer. They thought it was COPD, but my lung test is showing asthma. They have ordered sleep study to rule out sleep apnea. The asthma diagnosis was shocking - I have never even suspected asthma...lol! The inhalers have been a lifesaver.
