Please send the MM CC nutrition guide. I am fairly recently diagnosed, and have received absolutely no support from the doctors regarding nutrition or diet. I would appreciate anything you could share at this point. Thanks. Have a beautiful week. Dave

I am very happy to learn about your diet. I am almost done with my treatments of mm. 3 mores weeks. And I know that diet is very important but we have to know what to eat and not eat. So thank you again . I will do my best to read about it . My cancer came back to normal after 7 months but the doctor want to do the treatments for a year for controlling it better.i hope you can understand my English because I am from Quebec Canada. But I leave here for many years but I do speak French still a lot with my family. I am 74 years old. My cancer was in my spine only whe we begin the treatments. I am on revlimid.

I’m newly diagnosed and am learning as much as I can. Can you please share the diet you’ve developed with me? Thank you for your encouragement.

hopefully that product will be nice

David is my coach and has shared his experiences and suggestions for me and many others. He does his best to support MM patients. He is a Living example of successful fighting

Hi David. I’m 52 and was diagnosed with SMM a year ago. I’m IgA Kappa and have an m-spike of 0.9 and 0.2. (Total of 1.1). I was working with a nutritionist who had me on the “Mitchell Page Diet and a daily routine of over 70 pills/supplements. My numbers have remained stable but did not go down as the nutritionist said they would with the regime he had me on. I am now seeing a new nutritionist. I’ve only had my initial consult, but the gist is that I’ll do the AIP diet for a month along with food sensitivity testing and a select and more targeted supplement intake. After a month, I will be able to add back certain foods I was able to eliminate so long as I don’t show an inflammatory response. I would love to learn more about your program to make tweaks. Thanks in advance for sharing your potentially life saving protocol.

I have had MM fir 6 years. Had a stem cell transplant 5 1/2 years ago. I am interested in learning about your flexatarian diet.

Hello David, thank you for posting this web on your own journey with dealing with MM, i think it was divine intervention that brought me here. My questions are actually for a loved one. Firstly, thank you for bringing up the MM specialist since the person i am speaking for does not have a specialist only an oncologists, who has been seeing him for over 1 year now, he will actually be getting a 2nd opinion because it seems that his body is not responding well now to Revlimid, his liver enzymes has been trending up and so he had to stop Revlimid 25mg for 1 session and was started on Vemlidy 25mg, it brought down the enzymes but once he started regimen again with Revlimid his enzymes now went up again, do you think the felxitarian diet will help him with this and help his liver? His doctor diagnoses him with smoldering MM so ue is not in late stage yet but now his current tx is affecting his liver. Secondly, do you have any tips to help with insomnia? He has been taken off dexa bit still has hard trouble sleeping and uses ambian everyday to be able to get at least 4hrs sleep. Thank you.

Hi, I would like to know more about multiple myeloma. I was diagnosed last year with mm.

Hello there,

You have an incredible story and it is EXTREMELY rare to hear of anyone discuss links between food and mm. In fact I have actually been told to eat fast food because it might make me feel better mentally! Additionally, while getting chemo I’ve been (almost) forced to eat cake and drink lemonade by the staff. Currently, I’m the ONLY patient in my clinic who has disagreed with these food/beverage offerings. I was diagnosed with stage 1 mm on 23rd march 2020. Currently I am on day +30 post sct. For most of my time since diagnosis I have followed a similar diet to what you have outlined (mostly plant based). My diet is like a cross between fruitarian and Mediterranean foods. Occasionally I eat small quantities of meat. Usually when I eat meat it is after a session with my personal trainer. Interestingly, since swapping over to plant based foods I have noticed massive improvements to my health despite going through chemo. I lost 14kg, gained 8% muscle mass, no flem, no inflammation, better digestion, no dandruff, no bloating/ gas, and feel quite energetic. Last year I typed up a weekly meal plan with some common dishes I eat regularly. Would you be willing to read through my documented meals and offer some advice on where I could improve/ what I could change etc?
Cheers, Dan

Thanks so much for this information

I was diagnostic with M.M. About 2 or 3 yr. ago & had the stem cell transplant & I m under Dr. Care but I feel I m losing & need all the help I can get. Can U help me?

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in nov 2015.
I had a tumor on skull spine and hip.
The one on the hip broke my female.
I had to have radiation therapy and chemo, then in may 2016 I had a bone marrow transplant.
After that I refused all treatment and was good until may 2019when my numbers were up again, took no treatment, but in dec 2019.
I underwent emergency surgery to remove a mass which was on my vertebrae pressing on my spinal column causing me some awful symptoms, was struggling to walk had no balance, right eye couldn’t see out of it and was struggling with bladder issues.
The operation was only able to remove part of the mass, so I also had to undergo ten rounds of radiation, also had a mass on chest bone which was inoperable.
After all of that we tried five different types of chemo to which I had horrible side affects.
At the moment trying to go down a natural route, so any advise would be awesome and appreciated.
I was an international swimmer so I try to swim a few miles every week.
Thanks for any help you can give.
At the moment iam in remission

I have had MM since 2013. I am very healthy otherwise. I am currently in remission and on a chemo drug as preventive therapy. Would like to stay on your site and find it very interesting to hear other peoples ideas and situations.

I’ll be having a SCT soon waiting on another bone marrow biopsy first then if everything is o.k. then the transplant. I havent went by no kind of diets. ..guess I need to be doing that….I also got to STOP smoking ASAP smh…so hows it going since your transplant

I have been diagnosed with smoldering mylenoma. Would it help to do this ,so maybe it wouldn’t progress

I had MM can give me more information on it. I have had a relapse and worry now

Hi David, diagnosed 2 years ago low risk but 70% plasma cells. Have tried almost everything I have read short of conventional treatment. Still progressing but slowly. Slightly anemic but no other symptoms, Started RVD induction and scheduled for Transplant for now. I’m interested in anything I can do that does not interfere with treatment since I have committed to go this route. I would like to learn about the diet as well as supplement interactions

Hi David,
Thanks for this information as it seems to be the only one of its kind. I was diagnosed with MGUS after a blood workup by my rheumatologist for suspected RA. Went that was negative this protein IgA was found in my blood and I have been tested for 3 years in a row now by a hem/onc. This year my M-Spike went from 0.3 to 0.6. The dr didn’t even point this out but just said all is stable. I don’t show any other abnormalities on my labs. I brought to his attention the increase in the M-spike and he said that’s ok it’s stable. So frustrating! I need to take this into my hands. I need to lose about 40 lbs and I have started the circumin and reversatrol and cbd. Should I be so obsessed this being scared of MM? My aunt died of this and the Dr. said it isn’t inherited but when I research I see otherwise.

Hello! Thank you all of this wonderful information and I am so happy to hear that you are doing well after so many years! My dad is being tested for myeloma and the initial blood work is showing a few things off. M-spike at 0.3, kappa light chains at 63 and the kappa/lambda ratio at 6.7 so we aren’t sure what those mean until we meet with the doctor this week. He is certainly experiencing joint pain, but we aren’t sure if that is related or if it’s due to repeated overuse throughout the years. He’s a 61 yr old carpenter.

My question surrounds long term benzene exposure. Do you have experience with successfully removing benzene/toluene/etc from the body and repairing the damage done from the those harsh toxic chemicals? He uses the sauna, sweats a lot at work during the summer, drinks filtered water, eats organic and incredibly well (mostly vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans, legumes, healthy fats and occasionally meat from a local organic farmer, no sugar, gluten, corn, dairy, soy). He has also started drinking green, dandelion and essiac tea, juicing, taking 3 grams of vitamin c (spread out), vitamin D3+K2, and now starting curcumin. While I think this is a great start, I think the best thing is to go after root cause which we believe is the benzene exposure. I’d love to hear if you have or know anyone that has successfully detoxed the body in a healthy way to get rid of the benzene and company. Sorry for the novel here! Thank you again for all that you do!

I would love to hear more about your diet…some encouragement on.living with end stage aggressive MM and specifically what to ask my dr about re alternative therapies and supplements. I already (flexibly) go by the eat right for your blood type presently. So encouraged to hear the year 25! Dr said I should have been dead by last March after 29months but I am still here!! Suffering on chemo weeks but still here!! Thankyou!

David,
What is the best way to take curcumin in your opinion? (I am not sure I want to mess with making my digestive track more porous with black pepper..)
And what is the best daily quantity? My hematologist told me today that too much can be dangerous.
I should say that after 27 years of having MM without treatment, following a tandem bone marrow transplant in 1993, and then watching the kappa/lambda ratio creep up through the years, it finally became very active and forced me to undergo radiation and then DARA, ledalidomide, and dexamethasone, of which I have completed two months so far.

Hi, found what you have to say interesting. I was diagnosed Jan 2019 with Stage 1 -2 MM. High Risk translocation 14:16. 60% myeloma cells present. Picked up by my PCP with an elevated Protein, she ran with it. and recommended the oncologist I see. I was 68.PET scan neg. I have achieved complete remission since 10/19. I was started on Revlimid 25, Velcade and Dex. Turns out I was allergic to the Velcade. Intermittent use of 2 other drugs and now on decreasing dose of only Revlimid 20 to now 15 mg. Bone marrow and cytogenic study negative 2 weeks ago. I am careful with my diet lots of fruits/veg, almonds and use many supplements including IP-6 and tumeric, B12, B complex Vit C, D3, Krill Oil. I do not drink and never smoked. I have not had a stem cell transplant and have felt well throughout treatment. I also practice Reiki and have many prayerful friends. I do not own this disease ( God is my physician) but follow Dr’s orders and have armed myself with as much as I can to bring about God’s miracle. I am a retired RN. I belong to no support group but gather info here and there. Thought I would share my story…..feeling very blessed. Glad you are there to help people from your experience.

Hi David… my name is Jamie. I was diagnosed with MM at 40 yrs of age.
I went to the hospital with back pain and they found some lesions on a couple of my disc and fewer. I went through 5 rounds of chemo followed by a stem cell transplant. Since then, I was put on 10 mg of Revlimed and there are no traces of m protein in my system. At this moment, I am feeling terrific, besides some pain that I get around the laces where the lesions were found, but overall back doing all the active stuff that I always did ( ie hockey, weight training). I always kept myself in good shape, but since being diagnosed I wanted to make sure that I was putting food back into my body that, I thought would help ward off the Myeloma from coming back. I guess, something I can do than just asking the revlimed to do all the work. I’m very much into nutrition, and I have read some articles about foods that aid in fighting this disease. If you have any info on nutrition that can help the fight against MM, I would very much like to see it. I’m not a fan of popping pills just to make things go away and I do believe Better nutrition Does help getting rid of diseases.
I enjoyed reading about your journey and applaud you on your 25 yrs beating this deserve. You are an inspiration and I after reading this, your story made me feel that nothing is impossible.
All the best

Hi, I just got diagnosed with MM a month ago going for my biopsy on 9/11/2020

Dear David,

My grandmother and mother both lost their lives to MM. My mom passed on 2/2019 just 3 months after her diagnosis. She never had any pain at all. Its a long and complicated explanation. To make a long story short. She started her MM treatment and a week later was hospitalized with heart failure. She was gone a month later. Five months later I started having shortness of breath, rib pain, fatigue. I just had kidney stones and my kidney function is normal. I am pretty anemic as well. Also I need to drop about 60lbs. I haven’t seen a doctor yet. Im terrified. What do you recommend? Thank you!

Is this site still active? I would love information!

Hi, my name is Angela and my husband was diagnosed at the age of 51 with an aggressive stage of MM 2 years ago, he had lesions on almost all his bones, compression fractures in his vertebrae and a lower back fracture and his creatin was 3.6 for his kidney function when he was diagnosed. He under went the normal cytoxin, revlimid, dexy therapy which got it under control, his kappa lambda light chains went from 9000 to 140 after a few cycles. And his creatin level is 1.3 We did a CAR-T clinical trial for newly diagnosed patients which put him in remission for about 3 months, but it came back at which time he had the stem cell transplant in the fall of 2019. He is on 15mg of revlimid and gets a Velcade shot every other week, which wipes him out for a few days. He changed to a completely whole foods plant based Vegan diet 6 weeks ago in an attempt to have more energy and to lose weight, which has not given him any relief from either. He walks about 3 or 4 miles everyday, except after the velcade days. The new diet has taken most of the back pain away and he is off all his pain medications. I guess my question is are there foods/supplements that help to off-set the energy draining side effects of the velcade and revlimid to some degree?

Thank you,
Angela

My 60 yr old sister was diagnosed with MM about 3 years ago. She has had constant chemo throughout and a stem cell transplant about 1 year ago. She has been taking many supplements/vitamins all along. Doctors say she has refractory MM and in most cases the life span (with treatments) is only 5 years. Could supplements/vitamins be interacting with the chemo treatments preventing her from going into remission?

Hello David: Great work you are doing to get us informed! I was diagnosed with MGUS in 2016. I’m a 66 yr. old female, 5’3″, 115-119 lbs. My diet for the last 20 yrs. or so has been fairly clean ( at times I slip off the wagon with either gluten, sugar, dairy or non organic). Otherwise, I juice greens, carrots, beets, ginger root, turmeric root, and purchase as much local organic farm vegetables as possible and eat wild edibles (when available), I’m on a few supplements ( vit D3, Chaga tincture and sometimes chaga tea, Vit B12, sublingual, Curumin on occasion, vit C on occasion tablet form, every week or so I’ll make white cedar tea, or white pine needle tea and broccoli sprouts on occasion. I drink grass fed protein powder a few times/week. Very little to no toxic skin care products. Walking 30 min. 3-5 times/week. Hydrotherapy in the shower. I use an infrared Dome at home daily for a few hrs/day. I drink filtered water (Big Berkey). I take CBD oil and THC oil and 1-2 puffs of dried THC at night only for sleep. One registered massage therapy session/month. I have blood work once/yr and so far all is stable. I worry most of the time about this MGUS progressing. It’s on my mind most days which I know is not the best way to live. I stress easily. Are you able to calm my minds thinking in any way with your knowledge. I am really against conventional cancer treatments. Also, I’m not on any medical prescriptions except for the cannabis. Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hi David

I have MM & have recently undergone Induction Therapy & I am in the process of deciding whether to proceed with HDT-ASCT.I am 67yrs young & in reasonable shape although the induction therapy had given me peripheral neuropathy mainly in my legs & feet.
I have already changed my diet to a more vegan outlook although it wont be 100% . I am thinking along the anti-angiogenesis line with inclusive foods.
The question I am grappling with is do I call it quits on the conventional route & back my own gut feeling or complete the stem cell transplant with the treatment likely to worsen my neuropathy & maybe introduce other unwelcome side effects ?

Hi there, I have just been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Still going through tests before treatment but wanting to arm myself with everything I can get my hands on. I know that diet plays a huge part. I NEED to know what foods to avoid and you did give a brief outline. I was also wondering if baking soda does any good?? Any advise would be great! Thank you for putting your info out there…gives us hope!

I was diagnose with MM four weeks ago, and currently receiving infusion once a week with other medications. Can you consume alcohol? If yes what kind? What kind of nutrition /food and supplements to take. What is non toxic MM therapies? Please I need your e book you have on MM …Thanks

David, I have had full blown MM since 2016 had stem cell transplant in 2017….I need assistance maintaining or fighting the growth of MM….In essence, I need coaching with diet, exercise, supplements, etc.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
