Hello, I have a question for a friend.
My friend has diabetes and receives dialysis. He needs to increase his red blood cells/hemoglobin production or else he will need a blood transfusion which would result in him being taken off the organ transplant list.
Which herbs would be good for him to take? In my research from this course and other sources, I was thinking maybe the following:
Echinecea- to stimulate bone marrow/increase red blood cells
Dandelion leaf and Yellow Dock root-for its high iron content along with vitamin C, B3 and nickle for absorption
I had found some other promising herbs but it seems like many of them potentially affect blood sugar levels, which obviously isnt good for a diabetic.
Any suggestions or insights are appreciated! Thanks.
