Sharing Our SMM Journey: Natural Approach Tips?
AI-generated title
everyone,
I wanted to share my wife’s story and connect with others navigating smoldering multiple myeloma.
She’s 41, otherwise healthy, and was diagnosed after routine labs showed an elevated kappa/lambda light chain ratio. Six months ago, her kappa/lambda ratio was 33.5—recent labs show it has now increased to 68, with kappa free light chains at 28.7 mg/dL and lambda at 0.4217 mg/dL. A small amount of monoclonal kappa protein was also detected in her 24-hour urine collection. Her IgG is low at 583 (normal range 767–1590), which suggests some immunoparesis. Thankfully, she currently has no CRAB symptoms—no significant anemia, kidney issues, or bone lesions.
Right now, we’re taking a proactive but conservative approach—no treatment at this point. She’s being monitored at the Mayo Clinic every 3 months with blood work and 24-hour urine tests. In the meantime, she’s focusing on natural ways to stabilize the condition, including a plant-based anti-inflammatory diet, high doses of turmeric, Vitamin C, D supplements, and fresh juices made from broccoli sprouts and cabbage with mustard seed powder(sulforaphane benefits). She’s also prioritizing stress reduction, good sleep, and daily movement.
We’d really appreciate hearing from others—especially if you’ve seen stability or improvement through lifestyle or natural approaches. Or if any thing has made things worse.
Thank you so much.
