Alternative Treatment for Anemia.

Anaemia may be defined as a condition in which there is a decrease in the quantity of hemoglobin
or in the number of red cells. Anaemia is among the most common ailments affecting human
beings.

Nearly half the blood flowing in our veins and arteries consists of red blood cells which carry
oxygen to the tissues. Approximately one trillion or 100 million new blood cells are formed daily in
the bone marrow. The raw materials required in the production of these cells are iron, proteins,
and vitamins, especially folic acid and B12. Of these, iron and proteins are essential in building up
the red colorings matter called hemoglobin. A red cell has a lifespan of approximately one hundred
and twenty days and is then destroyed and replaced. Each person should have about 15 gm of
hemoglobin per 100 ml of blood, and a blood count of approximately five million red cells per
millimeter of blood.

The patient usually complains of weakness, fatigue, lack of energy, and dizziness. Other
symptoms include a haggard look, premature wrinkles, dull and tired looking eyes, poor memory,
shortness of breath on exertion, headache, slow healing of wounds, and palpitations. The skin
and mucous membranes look pale.

A diminished formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow, either due to defects in the bone
marrow, or due to an inadequate intake of iron, vitamins, and proteins, is one of the main causes
of anaemia. Other important causes are heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles, or
excessive menstruation in women. Anaemia can also occur due to a lack of hydrochloric acid in the
stomach, which is needed for digestion of iron and proteins, or Intestinal parasites or worms.
Hookworms, pin worms, round worms and tape worms feed on the supply of blood as well as on
the vitamins.
