Along with the treatments I stopped drinking my beer a day, reduced my smoking to nil, and changed my diet to more veggies and fish, essentially avoiding meat. I discontinued the acupuncture treatments since the counts was dropping. What a bummer. In reflecting back upon this time period, I think other stronger factors entered the picture. Now I was unemployed, probably unemployable, and not ready for the 'luxury' of retirement.
Depression is a hell of a disease.
And I took up smoking again, drinking my beer or two a day, and eating whatever I wanted. As undisciplined as I am in some areas, I didn't complete the '8 Weeks' regimen, but did continue with the antioxidants faithfully. In Florida I obtained a new hematologist. The first CBC showed my count had risen from 52 to 76. The hematologist was unaware I had been on the antioxidants for over a month.
