Can Ayurvedic Treatment Cure Multiple Myeloma?
my mother in law is suffering from multiple myeloma since dec'07.she has undergone chemotherapy - bortezomib and endoxan. she's allergic to thalidomide and lenalidomide. she has been off treatment since dec'08 and continued only with pamidronate till sept'09.1 week back she's been diagnosed multiple myeloma again. can this disease be treated through natural herbs - ayurvedic treatment or in any other way without taking chemo? also can stem cells be of any use? regards komal pabari.

1. because it is tumor of plasma cell thus treatment is focused on therapies that decrease the clonal plasma cell population.
2. they can be treated with radiation therapy, unless metastasis is not there.
3. Orthopedic consultation is a must.
4. Follow: International Myeloma Working Group diagnostic criteria for symptomatic myeloma, asymptomatic myeloma and MGUS
