Sickle Cell Anemia Treatment Option

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Sickle cell anemia has a number of standard treatments.

A 1998 study should give pause about both current treatment and treatment options.

The study found in Blood showed that boosting glutathione resulted in a significant conversion of irreversibly sickled cells back into biconcave shape.

This means that boosting glutathione could help. More importantly, drugs that deplete glutathione could actually make the condition worse. This means that acetaminophen should be reconsidered as a means of pain relief.

A side effect of boosting glutathione is also pain relief.

Maybe this should be looked into more deeply.

Cysteine may be a viable option for blood transfusion avoidance and management of sickle cell anemia.

Sweet Success Boosting Blood Count

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Faced with a 54 year old female who was refusing a blood transfusion, her count at 4.8 from the chemotherapy, the doctors were throwing their hands in the air.

How would we boost the blood count in a cancer patient with out a blood transfusion.

She was being given EPO, a recumbent form of the human hormone that makes precursor cell wannabes turn into red blood cells. It creates an autohyperfusion so that the patient will not need a transfusion.

Only problem, for EPO to work, it needs the building blocks of blood.

It was suggested to offer the patient who had no appetite what so ever a spoon full of peanut butter (protein) and black strap molasses (rich in absorbable iron) three times a day. The result, a o.3 gram per deciliter increase in her count every day until she got to 8.5 where it would rise no higher.

A rise of O.3 Grams is about 1/3 of a unit of blood. Only thing, it was her blood, her wishes observed, and it worked. Bloodless Medicine provided a blood transfusion avoidance option. A cancer treatment with out blood.
