TREATMENT OF ANEMIA BY TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

THERAPIES

The term “anemia” is used in medicine to define the incapacity of the red blood cells
of carrying properly the oxygen through the human body. This blood disorder occurs because
the hemoglobin molecule is unable to carry and release the oxygen molecules, as result of
certain more serious diseases or because of factors generating an alteration in the protein
structure of the molecule and/or a diminishing in the number of erythrocytes in the body.

The red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow in cooperation with the rest of
the “thesaurus” organs (kidneys, lungs, pancreas-spleen, liver, heart). However, in order that
they should reach maturity and be released into the blood flow, there is a number of
conditions that must be complied with, such as:

 an optimum level of iron in the body. Iron is a vital component of the hemoglobin
molecule, the organic substance diffusing the indrawn oxygen through the body.
Consequently, iron deficiencies are one of the main causes of anemia;

 a good condition of the kidneys. The kidneys secrete erythropoietin, the hormone
involved in differentiating and proliferating the erythrocytes. Renal insufficiencies or
severe renal disorders trigger a diminishing in the number of the erythrocytes;

 a functional balance between the activity of the kidneys, of the bone marrow and
of the nutrients existing in the body;

 supply of the necessary amount of nutrients by a balanced diet.

Depending on the cause, there can be distinguished several types of anemia:

 Iron deficiency anemia (the most frequent form of anemia; the iron deficiencies
affect the protein structure of the hemoglobin and the way it carries the oxygen to the
tissues). Anemia caused by heavy hemorrhages: heavier menstrual flow, lesions or
internal lesion-causing diseases such as gastro-intestinal ulcer, colorectal cancer, etc.;

 Anemia associated to chronic diseases that have generated it: a very frequent form
with the cancer patients or with patients with severe infections; usually, it occurs in
long-lasting diseases;

  Pregnancy-associated anemia: the women’s body is subject to major changes during
pregnancy and most of its resources are directed to assure a healthy growth of the fetus.
Consequently, the daily iron supply must be increased, in order to prevent this type of
anemia;

 Anemia caused by renal dysfunctions or disorders: the renal disorders diminish the
erythropoietin level in the blood, the hormone involved in the production of red blood
cells;

 Anemia caused by a deficient alimentation, with low supply of vitamins and

minerals. The level of hemoglobin in the blood is influenced by the concentration of
iron, folic acid and B12 vitamin. Short of these elements in the necessary amounts, the
erythrocyte production will also decrease;

 Alcohol-abuse-related anemia (very large amounts of alcohol cause vitamin and

mineral deficiencies in the body; they also derange the erythrocytes production, a
context favoring anemia);

 Anemia caused by diseases of the bone marrow (the diseases of the bone marrow
decrease the number of the erythrocytes in the body, as is the case of leukemia or other
diseases of the bone marrow);

 Aplastic anemia (caused by viral infections damaging the structure of the bone
marrow and reducing the production of red blood cells, leukocytes and thrombocytes);

 Hemolytic anemia (a form of anemia where the red-blood cells lose their functions
because of a strong process of hemolysis; the whole process is defined by the
premature death of the erythrocytes or by their increased mortality rate in comparison
with their production;

 Pernicious anemia: caused by the malabsorption of B12 vitamin;

 Sickle cell anemia (sicklemia is a hemoglobinopathy causing chronic hemolytic

anemia, with an aggressive development and vascular obstruction phenomena due to
the alteration in shape of the erythrocytes; it is a very rare type of anemia with
Caucasians);

 Anemia caused by thalasemia (a hereditary hematologic disorder defined by a small

number of erythrocytes).

As symptomatology, there can be noticed fatigue and asthenia, general weakness,

breathing disorders, cardiac rate disorders and cardiac murmur, tegument pallor, angina
pectoris, dizziness, giddiness and lipothymy, hypotension and splenomegaly in particular
cases.

Causes

The dysfunctions in the process of erythrocyte differentiation and proliferation occur

when areas of bone marrow have been compromised by damage to the local innervation and
vascularization or when there are disorders at two or several “thesaurus” organs. At the same
time, repeated or very serious damages to the same osseous area may cause degradation of the
bone marrow or of the full organs’ functions.

Treatment

In order to cure anemia, the erythrocyte-proliferation processes must be resumed at a

normal rate. There must also be striken a balance between these processes and the destruction
rate of the aged cells. Where anemia is also caused by disorders of the thesaurus organs, these
will be cured by normalizing the energy flow and reactivating the dysfunctional acupoints.
Active substances from specific herbs are used in order to regenerate the innervation and the
vascularisation in the sclerosed areas of bone marrow. The processes are enhanced of
assimilation of iron and necessary nutrients for a good development of erythropoiesis. At
immune level, the processes are enhanced that cleanse the body of pathogen agents and
infections. Depending on the type of anemia and on its triggering causes, the treatment
protocol will be adapted to restore erythropoiesis within normal limits.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINE BETWEEN RESTORING THE METABOLIC

SCIENCE AND ART BALANCE

The medicinal herbs, these natural antibiotics

and a treasure of health help treating any
disease, provided that the physician should
know thoroughly both their action and the
way in which they have to be mixed together
in order to treat the patient's diseases. At this
point comes in the mastery of traditional
medicine.
In traditional medicine, there are no secrets
in treating diseases, should the physician
have the necessary knowledge to find the
patient’s diseases and to treat them by
combining his therapies.
Once the toxins are eliminated from the body
and the affected organs are regenerated,
metabolism and immune system will restore
their normal activity.
Applying a number of Tibetan acupuncture
techniques, the activity of the organs
coordinating the immune functions will be
stimulated: thymus, spleen, tonsils,
lymphatic ganglia, bone marrow, thyroid,
adrenals. Acupuncture, too, will relieve the
energy obstructions existing in the system of
meridians and in the energy matrix as well,
so that the inter organic and metabolic
balance should be restored. The medicinal
herbs act upon the organs so that the blood
they will produce should be enriched with
oxygen and antibodies.
