GRAPE SEED EXTRACT

Hi all, I've not posted for ages but thought I'd let you know whats going on with Gary.

5 years ago he was dx and started on Glivec. He reached CCR quite quickly but then lost it. 2 years ago he started on Dasatanib. His PCR's dropped but up until 3 months ago, he had never reached a 'safe' level.

I read about Grape Seed Extract and we thought Gary could give it a try. For the first time since going on Dasatanib, his counts went into a 'safe' level and today they had dropped further. Furthermore, his Bone Marrow results (taken 3 months ago)showed no PH+ in 200 tested cells.

Now, I don't know whether the Grape Seed Extract has anything to do with these results but the specialist was talking of changing his medication again until these results were achieved.

Anyway, thought I'd share it with you and for now, Gary will continue on Dasatanib and Grape Seed Extract.

Dear Rachel,
thanks for updating here and for the interesting outcome post Gary adding Grape Seed Extract.
Can you let us know how much of the extract he takes and also which brand. I think there is quite a lot of discussion around this particularly on other cancer forums...i.e on the CLL forum (acor.org) which I read because my mum has been diagnosed with CLL recently.

The great news is that Gary is able to remain on dasatinib and that it is now working.

Best wishes to you both,

Sandy
