What Causes Increased Levels Of IGg And IGm?

I have Antiphospholipid Syndrome/Lupus Anticoagulent. I was on Coumadin but had severe headaches, bruising on my body and bleeding gums. I took myself off 4yrs ago and after much research, began eating foods that keep my blood thin, like tumeric powder, fenugreek seeds, wood ear mushrooms. I have not been sick in 4 yrs and I play tennis regularly. Why are my IGg and and IGm numbers still off the chart?
Thank you.

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Antiphospholipid syndrome is the reason of your high Ig G and Ig M.

In this syndrome patient is having high amount of antibodies against phospholipids. As this both is type of antibodies, you are having high antibodies.

It has nothing to related with thick blood. Even if you do not take turmeric and other things your antibodies will not going to low down.

Only treatment for the disease can cure you.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.
