    IMHA holistic approach

    Has anyone had any experience with Bio Preparation or Transfer Factors for IMHA?  Any kind of holistic therapies recommended?

    Nikki -- if you look on the "AIHA or IMHA" thread here you will find literally 500 pages of posts.  My email is callieatcritturs@yahoo.com -- If you will email me I will help you.  Honestyl right now I'm flat in bed with sciatica of my own so I can't "sit" at the computer.  But the answer is **do not** use Transfer Factor nor Bio-Prep for IMHA.  Both of them are chemically structured too much like "bacteria" -- and literaly they can have the OPPOSITE of the desired effect.  They can ramp the immune system up **so much(* that even the big drugs can't control it.  They both help the body to make blood but typically it causes the immune system to KILL more blood.  Don't use them, please -- I have seen many cases where they have a terribly adverse effect.

    That said -- there are a lot of things you can do alternatively and holistically to protect the body and support the body thru the disease.  TCVM can be marvelous acupuncture, strong Chinese herbals).  Homeopathy can also be hugely beneficial

    Nikki, Callie has already answered your specific question.  Any others, I would suggest your posting in the AIHA or IMHA thread where a lot more IMHA savy people will see it.
