There are not any herbal remedies that would help CML. Some types of things such as vitamins etc. could potentially help build up the immune system if they did not interfere with the Gleevec. Going off Gleevec would be a very dangerous thing to do at this point since you are so close to being able to get on the BMS drug. You should let your doctor know all of the problems you are having and maybe they can suggest something that will help you keep going until you have the BMS option available.

Thanks for your advice and concern but if I decide to go the herbal
route I will not be taking the Gleevec at all but I do not plan to tell
my doctor at all. The whole idea of trying the herbal remedies is to
get away from the Gleevec. I may try to hold out until June and see if
I get the BMS drug and see how it works before resorting to the herbal
stuff. All I know is I've got to get away from the Gleevec and also the
stress in my life is going against me too. Thanks again. Pat
