Are There Natural Treatments For CIDP?
My husband has CIDP and has gone throught several IV treatments , prednisone and an IV of a low doage of chemo. He has had no improvement at all. I would like to try some natural treatments to see if they might help. If anyone can recommend something, I would be very appreciative. To add to the question...my husband is 60 years old, he now weighs 180 due to the prednisone and is 5'10"....He has been going through treatments for the past 3 to 4 years with no improvement. Any ideas would be helpful

HI
Welcome to H C M
In my opinion consult your doctor.
He would reduce Tablet Prednisone slowly .& would advise, Blood & Urine Examinations to rule out the side effects of the Prednisone.
Take low salt, low fat diet .
Exercise regularly.
.If you cannot exercise.use Tredmill.
Take fresh fruits & dairy products ..
Thanks
