Avatar f tn Eithne01, The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML. Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.
Avatar n tn It is possible that the white blood cell count would normalize after 2 weeks of taking Imatinib (Gleevec). Most responses to Imatinib are rapid since it targets the molecular pathogenetic event in CML. You may seek a second opinion if that will give you a peace of mind. Good luck.
1004138 tn?1316251113 lots of people die all the time because they reject traditional treatments and go with 'natural' things instead I would think of using alternatives along with regular treatments, but not in place of them. Some alternative things might have some benefit. Isn't homeopathy the approach where you dilute some substance down to one part per billion or so, and then expect it to actually have some curing power?
Avatar n tn Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state. For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection. Good luck.
Avatar n tn Hi. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in the pleripotent stem cell. It has several phases: indolent chronic or stable phase, aggressive or advanced phase, and accelerated and blastic phase. The transition between phases may take years (on the average, 4 to 6 years from the stable phase to aggressive phase).
Avatar n tn s a bad way to search symptoms and cures) that fake steroids can have inside impurities dangerous for health.I never had episodes of infections so i think it's ok.So, could fake steroids contain virus of any kind of hepatitis?I feel good and as i told you i did test 2 years ago.Do i need some test again?I know this question could sounds stupid but i just need a rassicurance.Thanx a lot.Best regards.
Avatar f tn Average survival rates are generalizations, not applicable to a particular patient. The prognosis is relatively good. Newer techniques are being tried, including imatinib and stem cell transplantation. All the best, and God Bless!
Avatar n tn You should get this checked out - it sounds like maybe dried blood?
Avatar n tn Also though not a health hazard as such, it will cause corrosion of pipes and this may cause impurities to mix with drinking water. Take care!
Avatar f tn Okay, thank you!!
Avatar n tn i once heard a story like this that is because of the impurities found in their garments and once you perspire, this wet surface provides a place for germs to stay, so i'm practically basing it from there,God bless,consult a doctor okay.
Avatar m tn with a cold/flu glands fill up with liquid quite fast, causing them to be tender with lymphoma and other serious causes, the glands gradually notice the underlying impurities in your body, so the grow more gradually, likely to be less tender.

Avatar f tn ll see that there is also a problem with DMSO if not gotten via a prescription, as it can contain impurities that enter the body. Read the information and then at least call a doctor and ask.
Avatar n tn These fish are fed foods that often contain mercury and other impurities, and live unnaturally close to one another. Instead of the beautiful pink color found in wild salmon their flesh is white, so chemicals are added which turn the flesh pink artificially. Omega 3 oils also come from Mackeral and Tuna, and these fish also tend to have higher concentrations of Mercury and other impurites in their fat.
Avatar f tn DMSO will carry both good and bad things into the cell with it. That means any impurities or any substance on the surface of the skin will be directly transported to into your cells. As an extreme example, if you combine DMSO with a toxic or poisonous substance, you could very well end your life with a single application. That's the main reason why it is avoided by the medical community. Despite the downsides, there have been reports that it is extremely useful in fighting herpes.
Avatar f tn No diabetes (if this were a sample taken after fasting), no infection, no kidney disease. Sample might not have been a clear mid-stream sampling (slight, inconsequential impurities) but perhaps it was. Does not appear to have been testing for pregnancy (hCG hormone level) imo.
Avatar m tn I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this?? My wife does not take any illicit medications so we are perplexed over this result and are wondering what her doctor is going to do, if anything, at her next appointment next month, 12/2016! Her doses are 45mgs of morphine sulfate ER two times a day and 5mgs of oxycodone three times a day.
Avatar m tn The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still investigating whether these chemical impurities are at a high enough level to be a health risk. For the latest updates, please visit: https://www.fda.
Avatar f tn TY for the reply. Yes I was told and am thinking that its parasitc or allergy. I went to aruba in June but that wouldn't have an affect on me now, would it?
Avatar f tn Have you tried putting a filter in the unit, this will sometime help to trap any impurities, dust mites, pollen, or any other allergen. Having your window open probably makes the a/c air less potent,therefore, you do not notice the problems as much.
Avatar f tn i take fish oil supplementation for DHA. the only concern there is impurities like mercury present in the fish oil - there are brands that make DHA capsules that have been purified for this purpose. some brands will even go as far to source their oils from the purest fish and highest standards, so that purification isn't even necessary. i take this one. it is made specifically for pregnancy: http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=YE-1021 hope this helps!
Avatar f tn For your skin, if you have an exfoliating mask...or better yet, a bentonite clay mask...it will pull out impurities, exfoliate dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin. Good stuff!!
