Hello everyone!

I hope everyone here is happy and healthy and doing really great! 

I have a question regarding iron deficiency.

My cousin, who started the Budwig protocol very recently, has very low red cell blood count and is basically with no energy, it’s hard for him to talk or to even lift a glass of water.

 

Do you have any recommendations about what could be done to help him?

 

He was diagnosed with colon cancer with metastasis to liver and lungs 2 years ago. And for 2 years he was treated with chemotherapy, which did not help. His hemoglobin was always low during that time and he even had a blood transfusion a couple of times , which was helping for a period of time, but then his hemoglobin would fall down again.

The doctors stopped the treatment and he’s been basically left to die (which hopefully won’t be the case) and they are not helping anymore apart from an occasional visit by a nurse.

 

he’s in pain, he has no energy, he has swollen legs and belly… 

 

we started the diet about 2 weeks ago. His sleeping improved, which is great because before he hadn’t been able to sleep...

 

How can we help him? Is there anything we can do to improve his iron levels? Or will they improve in the course of the diet? Is there anything we can do to help with his pain and swollen legs and belly? 

Thank you for your support!

 

Much love to you all!!!
