we follow our own version of what's called a" neo -paleo ' diet , eating like a "cavewoman " , top quality red meat , w/ bone and fat , like porterhouse, t -bone. Lorraine is not red meat fan , but eats more , as she started w/ cooked medium , then more med. rare , as she likes top quality taste , . greens like kale, spinach. soak kale in olive oil, w/ dried craisins, fruit slices, almond slices . not bad. fresh pineapple ( we have a corer ), fruits, nuts, . 1,000mg folic acid, sharks liver oil and chlorophyll from health food store. havent gone to juicing yet , but not abad idea. this diet definitely boosts red counts and helps platelets. and I and our son eat healthier than ever too ! we can drop some of this after approval here ( any day ) , when we can cut back carefully on frequency, ( aiming for once a month at 3.0 dose level for awhile , she is at 3.0 as top dose is 3.6 , too strong for lorraine ) and lower dose later this yr to 2.4 as hopefully ned continues. Good luck.
