Leukemia is cancer of the immune system that attacks the white blood cells and slowly reduces the capacity of the immune system to protect the body. It is a disease that has killed thousands of adults and small children for hundreds of years.
The standard way of fighting cancer is through antibiotics and a daily diet of fruit and vegetables that fights the cancer cells. The cancer attacks the bone marrow that produces white blood cells.
I remember a young boy in the class below me at school who was always away with leukemia. His name was Leon Lawson. He died in the 1950s.
His grave is in the cemetery near the school. That was back in the days when sufferers bled to death.
