So during the in between time I had Elijah do the CBD oil, Turmeric, Probiotics, Vitamin D, Fish oil, Digestive Enzymes, Astraguals, Trace Mineral, Chlorophyll, Barley Grass and a mushroom Powder. It may seem to be a lot. This is my kids life here. I also did bone broths,Veggie Juice, and Oxygen Water.

Then it was time for Round two. November 14th with in the first 10 minutes of Etoposide Elijah got flushed and felt anxious. I had him to take nice deep breathes. It didn't last too long, then he was fine. When you are doing Cisplatin you have to do lots of fluids it dehydrates you. So Elijah didn't get much sleep that first night. So much going to the bathroom. Which you all know sleep is important to your immune system.

The  next morning Elijah didn't want to eat too much. Some nausea but not enough to actually throw up thank goodness.

He went through the motions of the next two days. I started to give him Nux Vomica a Homeopathic remedy for nausea. I think it also helped. I also didn't give him the CBD during the chemo. No side effects. The only thing that I noticed was he was super moody. They sent us home with steroids for a taper. They thought that that was the reason behind his first reaction. I guess we will never know. I believe it was the CBD and the interaction with the other meds.

Well Elijah experienced the full effect of the steroids. Very moody, then crying, next moment feeling angry. It was hard seeing him feel these emotions. Elijah agreed that he didn't like the effects either. So day 11 I did Charcoal and triphala for cleansing and detoxing. Then I did the above (the in between time) He was feeling like himself once again.

The doctor still wondered why Elijah hadn't had a blood transfusion, and why is numbers WBC (white blood cell count) Remember I had mentioned the Astragalus. This made me feel good. That I was helping my son.

Astragalus is used in China with chemotherapy. Astragalus has been shown to increase white blood cell counts when deficient and to help balance and normalize them when required. (Some day cancer protocol in the USA) To assist patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. Keeps your blood levels healthy during these invasive and systemically taxing procedures. It has been proven to restore red blood cell production in bone marrow and to assist immune function by stimulating natural interferon production.

Also in China they use Reishi Mushrooms along with Astragalus to aid chemotherapy. Reishi mushrooms have powerful immune boosting properties. Anti-Cancer and liver protecting effects. Reishi helps build the body, increase vitality increase overall strength and prolong life. Reishi has been proven to alleviate effects of chemotherapy like nausea, and kidney damage.

I have used Astragalus after  chemotherapy for my son. It has always kept his White Blood Cell Count up. He has never needed to get a blood transfusion. Which they said he'd have at least one after the first round. Which never happened. I read about it doing all of my research.  Every time he gets his blood drawn, the numbers are always great. They always say "I don't know why his numbers are so good" (I say in my head, I do) Another reason why I write this blog to maybe help someone out there.

I knew the greatness of Reishi and wanted to use it for Elijah. The Oncologist said not to use it. Because it wasn't good on his liver. Ha, I laughed inside my head. Somethings I wish they would really learn it really could help so many people.
