Dr. Stoll, I just had a friend come from the Doc and the Doc told him he had too much blood. What does this mean if anything?. Thanks

That's Polycythia Vera. Can't remember the problems it can
cause.

Hi, Davetx.
This is one of the seemingly paradoxical ways the body works. For example, a general rule is that the same symptoms that come from not enough of a single micronutrient also are produced by having too much of that seme micronutrient.
Aplastic Anemia is the opposite of polycythemia vera but both are caused by the same thing (environmental chemicals). See AA for how to approach this and, in the meantime, have him give blood frequently (as he will undoubtedly be recommended to do and IN NO WAY ever let them use the radioactive destruction of his ability to MAKE red cells as the "solution").
Let us know what you learn and what HE does about it.

Dr. Stoll, I find your posted advice on Aplastic Anemia very troubling. People that I have come into contact with online who have read your information have come away from it feeling that their fight against this disease is hopeless, due to your attitude about it. Are you following the recent developments? I am a participant in a Johns Hopkins study that has had excellent success with high-dose cytoxan without bone marrow transplant (due to my age). You may want to read up on studies by Drs. Brodsky and Jones. I have been successfully treated, and many others have also. Please stop leading people with this disease to believe that they have no chance in beating it. Your defeatist attitude about this treatable disease is extremely troubling.

Hi, Mindy.
Wonderful! Aplastic Anemia is a cytoxan deficiency.
Even with a metabolic poison like cytoxan the high end of the Bell Curve will survive. Let us know how these people are in 10 years. I am serious!
