Hello!
My 8-year old daughter has PLEVA and consequently is on a round of Methotrexate. I'm not in love with the idea of putting my little one on such a potent drug, however, and so consulted with a naturopath on how to protect her little body from the harsh effects of the toxins. For those interested, here is what he prescribed for us (and we are adhering to):
MRM's Liver X with BioSorb: This is a supplement that supports healthy liver function.
Biogenesis Sterol 117: This is to help regulate her immune system.
Health Concerns Marrow Plus: To protect her bone marrow.
So, while none of these things actually treat PLEVA, they are helping to prevent long-term damage to her growing and developing body because of the toxic effects of Methotrexate.
In addition, we've moved to a nearly all-natural diet. (No Hamburger Helper or Betty Crocker muffin mixes for us, no siree!) I try to include plenty of flax meal as well, since it is the best source of lignans out there! We eat lots of fresh, raw fruits and veggies, too. Hey, it can't hurt! We just feel like we have to do whatever we can to help our little girl while her body is taking such a hit. Our family motto is "for one, for all"-- and that means if one of us has to undergo something difficult, then we all go through it as a team together (as much as we can). If nothing else, we're all benefiting from the positive effects of being healthier! And my daughter doesn't feel so alone....
