What medications are used for treating leukaemia?
I wish to know the names of the various medications used. Also, if you can, please tell me which types of Leukaemia are treated by which medications if you can.
I apologize for placing this in the "Mental Health" category. I misread it as "Medical" health.

B Complex
The B vitamins are important factors in determining mood; deficiencies of any or all of these vitamins can produce significant symptoms relating to depression, anxiety, irritability, lethargy and fatigue. Many bipolars state that supplementation of B vitamins is extremely important to helping them to feel better. In general, B vitamins tend to work best together as a group; taking too much of any of them may result in deficiencies of others and, therefore, unwanted symptoms. B complex tends to be sold in B50 (50 mg of most of these vitamins, 50 mcg of a few, and 400 or 800 mcg of folic acid) or B100 (100 mg/mcg) dosages; bipolars may find relief with as little as 1 B50 or as many as 6 B100s per day. As with many other supplements, capsule form may be preferable although it is more expensive (some people say manic-depressives do not absorb this vitamin complex easily), and divided dosages also may be preferred. Although other factors (such as some medications) may interfere, a dark yellow-orange urine color may suggest that the individual is taking a sufficient quantity of this vitamin complex.
B Vitamins
The B vitamins work together & are vital to every function of your body.
The B vitamins are low in our modern diet. B vitamins are depleted by stress, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, sugar & certain medicines.
Dr. Slagle does not recommend anyone take a singular B vitamin without simultaneously taking a B complex as a foundational base. Single vitamin B supplements can induce deficiencies & imbalances of the other B vitamins.

Bach Flower Remedies
To those people who have heard of or used flower essence remedies the ones that probably most quickly come to mind are the 38 remedies discovered by the English physician, Edward Bach, M.B., B.S., D.P.H., in the early 1930s, and known throughout the world as Bach flower remedies. Interestingly, Dr. Bach's early research had to do with the role of bacteria in chronic disease, from which he turned to vaccine therapy, then to homeopathic remedies. His observation of his patients in all three fields led him to the recognition that physical illnesses are predisposed by negative emotional states such as fear, resentment, anger, insecurity, jealousy, etc. Two of his views worth quoting are: 'Think of the patient, not the disease" and "True healing involves treating the very base of the cause of suffering. Therefore no effort directed to the body alone can do more than superficially repair damage. Treat people for their emotional unhappiness, allow them to be happy, and they will become well." These ideas were heresy to the medical doctors of his time, but today clinical studies have confirmed that the emotional and psychological state of a person affects many body processes by suppressing or stimulating brain endorphin production, neurotransmitters, immune cell activity, adrenal hormones, etc.
One of the chief categories of the remedies put forth by Dr. Bach he called the "twelve healers." These remedies are for basic personality types that usually do not change in a given incarnation. The gifted user of Bach remedies, the late Jessica Bear, N.D., Ph.D., whom I had the pleasure of meeting at several conferences of the International Association of Specialized Kinesiologists, further subdivided these twelve remedies and their associated personalities as Dominators, Mediators, and Enablers. She ascribed to each personality type a specific virtue when the person was in balance, a fau1t or way of being when out of balance, and a reaction or way of behaving when not in balance. Dominators when out of balance look for someone they can dominate. Mediators out of balance seek to balance any difficult situation, usually between a Dominator and an Enabler. Enablers out of balance are easy victims. More often than not, my clients appear to be Enablers. Consider a client for whom Mimulus (Monkey flower, Mimulus guttatus) tests as the priority flower essence; that person tends to act as an Enabler and to react by fear, perhaps fearing such things as the dark, loud noises, poverty, being sick, being alone ("I'm a victim"), and it is hard for them to share their fears--they are often shy. Mimulus will help this client.

Bacteria
The healthy colon should contain at least 85% lactobacillus and 15% coliform bacteria. However, the typical colon bacteria is the reverse, resulting in gas, bloating, pathogenic organisms, constipation, and malabsorption of nutirents--which leads to an overgrwoth of Candida.

Baker's Cyst
Cyst: Any closed cavity or sac that is lined by epithelium often contains liquid or semi-solid material.
Baker's Cyst: A synovial cyst or pouch that occurs in the synovial lining of the knee. Typically these cysts are not painful unless swelling is extensive. Aspiration of the cyst is therapeutic only temporarily since recurrence is common. Most disappear spontaneously after several years. Larger cysts can be removed surgically. In the absence of a specific trauma, usually caused by chronic bracing. The Baker's Cyst archives from the 'Ask Dr. Stoll' website are here .

Leukemia is not a single disease. Instead, the term leukemia refers to a number of related cancers that start in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow. There are both acute and chronic forms of leukemia, each with many subtypes that vary in their response to treatment
In general, there are five major approaches to the treatment of leukemia:
- chemotherapy to kill leukemia cells using strong anti-cancer drugs;
- interferon therapy to slow the reproduction of leukemia cells and promote the immune system's anti-leukemia activity;
- radiation therapy to kill cancer cells by exposure to high-energy radiation;
- stem cell transplantation (SCT) to enable treatment with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy; and
- surgery to remove an enlarged spleen or to install a venous access device (large plastic tube) to give medications and withdraw blood samples.
Oncologists administer these treatments in a variety of combinations. Each method has its advantages and drawbacks.
