My son was diagnosed with MM when he broke his femur in 2021 but the diagnosis of MM did not show in the blood or bone marrow.He is obese overweight and has inflammation. Why isn’t this MGUS. He lost 30 lbs after his surgery but he had gained it back and is no longer in remission. He is told he has a type of cancer that doesn’t show the blood? Is that true? He is getting chemo and radiation because lytic spots are showing on his body where he has pain.on the Pet Scans. Can inflammation make a false positive for MM on a Pet Scan. Why are the oncologist treating him for MM? Will diet and curcumin or tumeric help him? Thank you: appreciate any help.
ReplyHi Berner-
My guess is that your son was diagnosed with a type of MM called “non-secretory.” This means that your son monoclonal proteins (the MM cells) don’t “secrete” immunoglobulin and freelight chains. This means that your don’t diagnostic testing relies mainly on imaging studies aka MRI, PET, CT, etc.
I do not believe that inflammation can cause false positives. Lytic lesions are fairly easy to identify. If lesions grow too large they can cause the bone to fracture.
Yes, diet and curcumin have been shown to fight MM though chemo and radiation can fight lytic lesions faster and more completely than diet and curcumin alone.
Hang in there Berner.

ReplyHi I was diagnosed having MGUS in 2015, and from internet information devastated. A middle aged father of six children, loving marriage, and to be honest had only just started living after many years haunted by past abuse, violent circumstances, and injury. I recently passed a LAw BSc degree with honours, work at an organic farm, and starting to be able to enjoy my life. The blow was terrible for my wife and I, especially as we were given no other information from our GP than ‘Well… we all got to die of something… Right!’ Since I have learned that it is quite a low strain, but last time I went for a blood test it had risen by 0.5… I was under some stress because one of my sons, but like all I suspect trying to find ways of slowing the process, even reversing it. I have been looking at the work of Dr Ernest Rossi, and that of Dr J Dispenza, who use psychobiological methods to try and promote change at both
psychological and cellular levels. But any information I can get to help would be wonderful.
Hi Lee-
I am sorry to read of your MGUS diagnosis. However I developed the MGUS cancer coaching program specifically because many pre-MM people do not want to either “watch and wait” and cannot accept their GP telling them that we all have to die sometime. Yes, there are documented cases of pre-MM (SBP, MGUS and SMM) of regressing to normal blood levels and/or remaining in a pre-MM state for decades.
Please keep in mind that MGUS is referred to as either a “blood disorder” or pre-MM but it is not cancer. Yes, it can lead to cancer but it does not always.
An m-spike of .05 is quite low. The non-toxic therapies discussed in the pre-MM CC program are all evidence-based. I include links to studies supporting therapies such as curcumin. And I am happy to discuss specific formulations that are more bioavailable, specific doses, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Hang in there,
David Emerson
ReplyVery interested in the Curcumin regiment. Resently diag with MGUS. Amounts and brand and any other dietary info. Thanks
ReplyHi Charles-
I am sorry to learn of your MGUS diagnosis but glad to read that you are undergoing therapies to reduce your risk of frank MM. Regarding your question about curcumin, several things. I will post an article that talks and lists the most “bioavailable” curcumin formulas. My curcumin brand, Life Extension SuperBio Curcumin is enhanced (7x I think) but is not one of the top brands. Further, I read of those with active MM or pre-MM, dosing at levels of 1,2,8 grams- (1000 mgs is 1 gram) I take one capsule that is 400 mgs.
This is for you to decide- The Pre-MM Cancer Coaching Program expands on evidence-based non-toxic therapies like curcumin.
