When it comes to helping others affected by leukemia, you can do many things that don't involve donating money from your own pocket. Let's face it, some of us just don't have much money to donate. But don't let that deter you from helping when you desire to do so.

Here are a few ideas you can use to help leukemia charities and touch those who are affected by the disease.

1. Donate To Leukemia Charities For Research – The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are two places that you can donate money that you raise with fund raisers. It will take time and organizational skills on your part to have a successful fund raiser but the results are worth the effort. A few fund raiser ideas are:

bake sale

spaghetti dinner

sandwich sale

yard / garage sale

raffles

beaded bracelets (children will enjoy taking part)

craft sale

2. Donate Blood and/or platelets – Cancer patients undergo blood and platelet transfusions due to the effects of chemotherapy. Donating your blood and/or platelets is a priceless gift you can give that only requires a little time.

3. Donate Hair – If your hair is long enough you can get it cut and donate it to organizations that make wigs for cancer patients that have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. Hair loss can have an emotional effect on cancer patients and having a wig made of real hair can help make them feel better about their appearance.

4. Relay For Life – This is an event organized by the American Cancer Society. You can form a team and help raise money through fund raising. Participating in the event will also show your support for those affected by cancer. Fund raising and forming a team will again take time and organizational skills.

5. Send Cards – Another way to touch the lives of people affected by cancer is by sending cards to lift their spirits. There are organizations that provide the contact information to do so.

These are just a few ideas of ways you can help those affected by cancer. For more ways you can help please visit http://www.leukemia-cure.com/leukemia-charities.html .

Leukemia: may Ayurveda help you?
 
While leukemia patients are dying miserably in hospitals listen to Ayurveda. Probably, Ayurveda is the only science where blood cancers are cured, without side effect. Pediatric leukemia is amazingly faster recovering, perfect control often in few weeks. Wish oncologists probed the credibility of the treatment, which may in turn become beneficial to all humanity.
 
Advanced nations are spending billions of dollars in research for a cure. Recurrences of most types of cancers are general phenomenon. It means malignancy did not completely respond to the best up front treatment. Scientists can research how Ayurveda acts selectively inducing cell death in only the malignant cells and not affecting neighboring healthy cells. I am a Vaidya, eager to associate with such initiatives sharing abundance of knowledge and participating integrated research programs.
 
I would genuinely recommend newly diagnosed leuekmia pts, instead of going chemotherapy to search for an India Ayurveda master, undergo treatment ..and get cured. Relapsed after the chemo patients also better opt this remedy than going more for notorious stronger inductions.
