Aplastic
anemia is a
rare (5-10
cases per
million),
serious
condition
where the
bone marrow
fails to
produce
white cells,
red cells
and the
platelets. Aplastic
anemia is
observed in
children as
well as in
adults.
The term
Aplastic
comes from
the word
aplasia that
means
failure of
generation
or
formation.
Anemia means
deficiency
in the
oxygen-carrying
component of
the blood.The spongy
material
inside the
bones is
called as
bone marrow
and is like
a factory
that
produces
blood cells
(red cells,
white cells
and
platelets).
In case of Aplastic
anemia bone
marrow fails
to form or
develop
blood cells. |

Remarks:
The red
cells in the
blood carry
oxygen from
the lungs to
all areas of
the body. In
Aplastic
anemia with
less number
of red
cells, body
parts do not
get
sufficient
oxygen that
is
absolutely
essential
for their
functioning.
White cells
fight
infection by
attacking
and
destroying
germs and
their less
number in
Aplastic
anemia leads
to poor
defense
mechanism
making
suffering |
 |
individual
prone to
various and
at times
lethal infections.Platelets
are blood
cells that
control
bleeding by
forming
blood clots
in areas of
injury.
Reduced
platelets
lead to
blood
clotting
disorder,
whereby
blood does
not clot
naturally,
leading to
uncontrolled
bleeding.
Suggestion
about
homeopathic
treatment:
Role of
Homeopathy
in Aplastic
anemia
1.
Homeopathy
medicines
attempt to
stimulate
the healthy
portion of
bone marrow
to improve
cell
production.
This may
help to
reduce the
number of
blood
transfusions.
2.
Homeopathy
medicines
improve
general
vitality and
well being
of a patient
to help him
fight
infections.
3.
Homeopathy
medicines
can be
useful to
control
bleeding
disorder
associated
with
Aplastic
anemia.
4.
Homeopathy
medicines
are
effective in
curtailing
further
course and
pace of
disease.
5.
The
diagnosis of
Aplastic
anemia can
have
terrible
emotional
impact on
the patient,
which can
have
detrimental
effect on
immunity,
thus adding
fuel to the
fire.
Homeopathy
medicines
having
positive
influence on
the psyche
of patient
can take
care of this
mind-body
link.
6.
Homeopathy
medicines
are
beneficial
in
countering
side-effects
associated
with
conventional
therapy.
7.
Homeopathy
medicines
have very
effective
long term
beneficial
effect or
preventive
effect in
terms of
countering
genetic
tendencies
and
balancing
disturbed
immunity
that are
root causes
of this
serious
malady. The
chances of
relapse
significantly
diminish
with
homeopathy
treatment.
The
important
point that
should be
emphasized
is that when
dealing with
serious
condition
like
Aplastic
anemia, the
beneficial
effects of
multiple
therapeutic
systems
should be
used in
concordance
with each
other. There
cannot be a
single or
exclusive
line of
treatment.
Homeopathy
medicines,
as they do
not
adversely
interfere
with
conventional
medication,
are
absolutely
safe to have
synergetic
effect of
treatment.
Moreover,
homeopathy
medicines
are
absolutely
safe and do
not have any
side effects
what so
ever.
However,
considering
the pace and
grievous
nature of
disease,
homeopathy
alone may
have
limitations
in managing
Aplastic
anemia. One
cannot
expect
miraculous
cure for
Aplastic
anemia with
homeopathy
alone.
Nonetheless,
homeopathy
treatment
along with
conventional
treatment
can add a
lot to
quality
management
of patient
with
Aplastic
anemia. It
should be
emphasized
that
Homeopathic
treatment is
not a
substitute
to any mode
of modern
medicine
such as
blood
transfusion
or bone
marrow
transplant,
etc. The
role of
homeopathy
is more
complementary
than
alternative,
when it
comes to
managing
Aplastic
anemia. |
