Chemotherapy frequently causes short term anemia

Condition analysis:
I have to preface this answer by saying that I am NOT a clinician of any kind. Chemotherapy frequently causes short-term anemia because it disproportionately affects rapidly dividing cells. Our blood cells, both red and white, come from rapidly dividing precursors that live in bone marrow. I would think that it is possible to have longer-term affects on red blood cell production/development as a result of chemotherapy. There could also be indirect causes of the anemia, like metabolic changes that hurt red cell development. Again, I am not a physician, but it certainly seems plausible. You should certainly see a physician about the problem and discuss any dietary changes as well.

Instructions:
Spinach: A diet rich in green leafy vegetables like spinach is one of the best home cures for anemia. Spinach is rich in iron as well as vitamin B12 and folic acid, energy-boosting nutrients that the body needs to recover from anemia. A one-half cup of spinach provides almost 35 percent of your daily value of iron and 33 percent of your daily value of folic acid.

-- Drink spinach soup twice daily. To prepare the soup, take 1 cup of blanched spinach and puree it by adding a little water. Heat 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a pan, sauté some chopped garlic cloves and onion in it until brown. Add the pureed spinach and a little salt and cook on low heat for 5 – 10 minutes.

-- Mix two teaspoons of honey in a glass of fresh spinach juice. Drink this once daily.

Follow either of these remedies for at least one month.
