  • Jan 28, 2020 results: 2.23 Kappa/lambda  glucose 107. 
  • March 31, 2020  results: 2.25 Kappa Lambda ratio  glucose 101

6 drops Maitake, Omega 3,  Vit D & K (1000IU) 4.5g Curcumin we EGCG, 1.5g Berberine, Garlic, Olive leaf extract, Macuhealth, Na Bicarb, black cumin see, Mag 64 & Magnesium

  • June 3, 2020 results:  1.89 Kappa Lambda ratio (better! )  glucose 97

         I added Pancreas pills (a proteolytic enzyme – replacing Wobenzyme) – on empty stomach when first wake up & in afternoon& some mushroom extracts (2 Beta glucan, Benegene, Peak Immune, AHCC). Still  do very low carb & intermittent fasting

  • Sept 1, 2020  results: 1.44 (WOW!!!  Significant improvement!!) Kappa/ Lambda ratio  glucose 91. % of kidneys that are functional 56.6%

       These numbers were really surprising!  My numbers are back in normal range!  Is it the Pancreas or the mushroom extracts?  Not sure so I will keep both.  Take 2 pancreas in night when I get up to go to the bathroom and 2 on empty stomach in morning.

  • Nov 27, 2020 results : 1.85 Kappa/lambda ratio – little higher, but still pretty awesome! % of kidneys that are functional 49.4%

________________________________2021_______________________________

  • March 17, 2021 kappa/lambda ratio of 1.68. * Creatinine .99 *Cr Clearance (-% kidneys that are functional ) 51.5%. 
  • June 17, 2021 Kappa lambda ratio was 1.86 * Creatinine 1.05, *kidneys 48.76 %
  • Sept 7, 2021  Kappa/Lambda ratio is 1.66 * Creatinine .95 * Kidneys are 53.89%
  • Dec 1,2021 Kappa/ lambda ratio is 1.55 * Creatinine .95 * Kidneys are 51.4%

Jan 31, 2022 Kappa/Lambda ratio 1.55 * Creatinine .93 Kidneys are 52.5%

Feb 2022 & Sept 2022 – my numbers are stable – In Feb my oncologist said he only has one Multiple Myeloma patient who has lived as long and he takes pretty high doses of prescription drugs.  I take no prescriptions at all.  Aug 8 2022 my oncologist said, “MM is supposed to be incurable but your are stable – just keep following your keto diet.”.  Both Oncologist and nephrologist feel I do not need to be tested as often.

______________________________2023______________________________________________________

CHANGES – Both my Oncologist and Nephrologist say I have been stable for a long time and I only need to have kappa & lambda free light chains tested every 6 months. It made me happy but nervous not to have the feedback to make sure my cancer is not growing, so I decided to get my blood tested at a local place- just to keep an eye on my glucose, insulin and kidney numbers.

March 30, 2023 I had a Wyoming Health Fair blood draw – this is the first time since 3/27/2012 I had this particular blood test – 12 years ago when I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma.

  • My blood work was so much better than in 2012! 11 years of low carb has been good for me – my insulin is 5.5, The thing I am now watching is A1c which was 5.4
  • I started back on the Cronometer app – which is a free app that is very accurate in counting carbs, and I got familiar with how to use it again. 
  • I started entering everything I ate in cronometer. For example I entered all my food and supplements in on the first day and then the following day I click “copy previous day” and then correct the food diary.
  • I started to eat just 20 total carbs per day and aim for 75% fat – I have her “treat” daily right now: made of  1 packet of Sweetleaf Stevia + ¼ avocado + 1/4c heavy cream + ¼ c the solid part of a can of coconut cream + 1-2 tsp cacao mashed together. Delicious 🙂
  • Then I got a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) –which required a prescription. The CGM shows in real time my blood glucose. I can check my blood glucose when I wake, before each meal, 2 hours after each meal and before bed.
  • Goals: try to keep blood glucose in 72-90 range. Want spikes after a meal to be less than 110 and try to have average glucose under 100. If you are sick, your glucose will go up just as your temperature goes up. Also, if you are stressed or get into an argument or exercise strenuously, your blood glucose will go up.
  • TIPS ON CGM: At first I got a Dex 6.
  • I read “Any Way you Can” by Dr Boz.
  • I take Epsom salts baths for magnesium
  • I eat chia seeds more for fiber (you just chew them up and drink water) .
  • March 30, 2023 My A1c was 5.4
  • May 30, 2023 my A1c was 5.3

August 20, 2023 Kappa/Lambda ratio 1.6 * Creatinine .90 * Cr Clearance 51.6% * A1c 5.3

________________________________2024___________________________________

Feb 1, 2024 kappa/lambda ratio was 1.75 * Creatinine .91 * Creatinine clearance 50.1% A1c 5.4

May 13, 2024 My kappa/lambda ratio was 1.88 * Creatinine .97 * Cr Clearance 47.6%* A1c 5.4

November 7,2024 My kappa/lambda ratio was 1.95 *Creatinine .86 *Cr Clearance 53.18* A1c 5.4

Jan 23, 2025 I didn’t have cancer #’s but I had a blood test for my nephrologist and A1c stayed at 5.4
