One recent article is below: Specific killing of multiple myeloma cells by (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate extracted from green tea: biological activity and therapeutic implications (This can be bought from a Santa Barbara company as EGCG) I take 1 per day...I'll try anything.

My current paraprotein level is 18 or 19 g/l which I obtained today and will cause me to be kicked out of a clinical trial of Denosumab due to progression. So this Friday I will be discussing with my guru the next level of treatment (probably thalidomide). Good luck with the stem cell collection (easy) and the transplant (hard). My transplant treatment went really well with no infections, but it had no effect on the Myeloma. 10 g/l before transplant, 10 g/l after. Its a scary disease, but I actually feel great (much better than the zombie I was at diagnosis). My details: Age - 52 Home - S/E Australia, east of Melbourne in the bush. Date of diagnosis - 17/3/05 (paraprotein 42 g/l) Job - Electrical Engineer with the power company Family - wife + 2 sons + dog G’day Beth
