Aplastic Anemia Archives

APLASTIC ANEMIA

MY BROTHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH APLASTIC ANEMIA IN 1994, HE WAS ADMITTED INTO THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOR ALMOST 3MONTHS. WHEN THEY RELEASED HIM THEY TOLD US THEY DIDNT LOOK FOR HIM TO LIVE BUT A YEAR. HE IS STILL WITH US TODAY AND HAS LIVED A PRETTY NORMAL LIFE WITH ALMOST NO SIGNS OF THE ANEMIA. JUST RECENTLY, HE HAS STARTED HAVING LOW CELL COUNTS, NOSE BLEEDS, FATIGUE AND HEADACHES. WHY WOULD THIS GO AWAY FOR ALMOST 6 YRS AND SUDDENLY RE-ACCOUR? THE HOSPITALS DONT SEEM TO KNOW MUCH AND THEY JUST KEEP RUNNING THE SAME TEST. IF YOU COULD PLEASE SHED SOME LIGHT ON OUR SITUATION WE WOULD GREATLY APPRICIATE IT.
THANKS, JKIRKPATRICK

Hi, J.

Go to the apastic anemia archive. The answers to your questions are there AND what your brother can do about it.

The fact that he had a remission for this long says that it is probably still not too late to stop this.

A wise man once said: "One definition of insanity is when something that is not working is repeated over and over again".

A LOT is known about what causes this but we allopaths are not taught to think in such a way as will allow us to understand the causes. SO, we continue to treat what we do not understand even though our cure rate is zero and the death rate is 100%. FOR SHAME!
