My mother has recently been diagnosed with Hereditary Amyloidosis a few months ago. She has been sick for about 3 years now, and the doctors just figured out what it was. She is pretty much bed ridden now. She barely eats anything at all… she eats 2 bites if that of food and then says shes full. Shes lost tons of weight. She has heart and lung involvement. She has refused chemotherapy treatment, saying that it’ll make her worse…

I recently saw a movie on netflix on nutition/juicing called “fat, sick and nearly dead” where these 2 men only drank green juice for 60 days, (mainly kale, apples, ginger, lemon and celery) and it cured their immune diseases… I’ve also been watching other movies about nutrition.. Do you think it would make any kind of difference in my mom situation if I put her on this juice?
Its supposed to help clean her cells….

I am going to have her drink green tea too… hopefully it’ll help :\.

My Mother who has been the picture of health all her life has suddenly been diagnosed last spring with primary amyloidosis. It is apparently throughout her body. However at this time it is primarily attacking her lungs. She has a RN come to drain 1/2 litre of fluid from her lungs every other day. She has taken chemo in the last half year but it has not helped her condition. She feels no pain other than being extremely tired. I am trying to convince her to take EGCG extract. Does anyone know what the daily intake should be and also does the vitiam C help as well and what dosage?

This is a very scary disease and it seems like the medical profession knows NOTHING about it and at this point has done very little research into its cause.

Bobby, glad to see our father is doing well. my mom is taking the green tea with vitamin c twice daily. i wish we all had a message board to go to were we can talk about our green tea results.

Martha, how many mg of green tea are you taking daily? my mom is only taking 800mg a day and not the pepper. i can’t get her to take more right now. she thinks it would be to much. you know you can lead a horse to water but you can make him drink.

I have contacted dr hunstein in the past and he just emailed me his new website. check it out. has his life story and his protocal for green tea and amyloidosis. good luck !

I am now taking the extract EGCG rather than drinking the tea. Now I drink the tea for pleasure because I am taking the pills also shown to reduce amyloid deposits. The article is by Klaus Altland, Rupert Schreiner, and Werner Hunstein and is “Of Green Tea, Black Pepper, and Amyloidoses” and they include the combinations and amounts to take like Dr. Hunstein. I know it is helping me.

Hey, my dad is 66 years old and he suffers from amyloidosis of the heart. Its actually caused congestive heart failure. He began eating greener vegetables, cael, etc, he also drinks bitter melon juice. He’s actually doing better, he still has to take the water pills, but everything is looking good. He can actually exercise again. He’s driving, and just living his life.

I’m going to tell him to try the green tea treatment. Hopefully that will work as well. My advice to anyone with amyloidosis or whose family member suffers from it, don’t give up hope. The doctors gave up on my father, but my father has continued to plug away. He’s doing good
