Iron infusions

September 6, 2008

I have been receiving iron infusions for 3 years now. At first, I had

the initial course of once a week for 8 weeks, then about 18 months

later, did it again, but for 5 weeks that time. After the doctor

watching my iron and H & H levels roll like a rollar coaster, he decided

that we are going to do monthly infusions. That has worked out the

best. He also switched from Ferlicit which took an hour to infuse, to

Venofer which only takes 1/2 hour for 200mg, 15 min for 100mg.

Hello ,

I thought I should share this with you. I have been severely anaemic

(Iron deficiency) for years, Ferritin level was always very very low (8ug/L),

iron tablets did not help me I am afraid, I just kept taking them till I got fed

up. Last November (2010) I started considering asking my GP for a referral to

see either a nutritionist or a haematologist.

However, in December 2010 I decided to change my diet totally. I cut out diary

products (milk, cheese, any food that contains milk), I stopped taking tea, was

never a coffee fan. I started eating raw carrots, beets or beetroot, spinach,

celery, Kiwi and cooked liver. Eating more oranges and diluting lemon juice in

warm water. I also started taking liquid Alfalfa, everyday i.e. 10ml diluted in

500ml of water twice daily. In January, 2011, I went for my 3 months routine

blood test and when I called in for my results, I was told I have to come see my

GP. I went to see my GP and my GP told me I was no longer anaemic, everything

was back to normal. My GP wanted to know what I was doing and asked me to stop

taking my prescribed iron tablets.

While I was severely anaemic, I thought I was suffering from symptoms of

hypothyroidism but the tests results always showed normal but in my last test

after my depleted iron level had been repleted, T4 was slightly elevated, so I

have been told I need to have another test in April for Thyroid antibodies.

For me, I believe the Alfalfa was responsible for my recovery from anaemia, I

believe it cleansed my body, improved iron absorption and of course being

chlorophyll it built up my haemoglobin levels. The effect was truly amazing.

PS: I have stopped taking Alfalfa because I read long term use of Alfalfa

destroys the red blood cells, I only used it for 1 month. The Alfalfa I used was

not the sprouted one. I have been taking Floradix and sticking to my diet to

maintain my iron level.. Sorry for the long story.

Comments:

I have treated a case of Thalassemia minor presenting with

mild anaemia in the UK Clinic in Cheras , Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, a couple of

years ago, as a locum. He was initially diagnosed and treated in the hospital

with weekly iron injectables. He could not tolerate the iron injectables which

were administered intramuscularly in the buttocks which became extremely painful

after the injection The patient could not accept iron tablets orally causing

nausea and vomitting. I put him on Biochemics or Tissue Salts .

Rx

Ferrum Phos 6x

Calcium Phos 6x

Dose: 3 pellets to be dissolved in the mouth, alternately, 3 times daily for two

months.

The wife telephoned after two months requesting for refills.

A lab test showed increase in haemoglobulin. The patient was very distressed,

not able to sleep because of the painful injected buttocks and restive before

taking the biochemics. The patient has improved holistically: emotionally,

physically and mentally after taking the cell-salts.

Thalassemia is a form of inherited disease whereby it is

caused by red blood cells genetic blood disorders. In general medical terms,

thalassemia can be classified and divided into two main types

1. Alpha Thalassemia :

a. Alpha Thalassemia Major

b. Alpha Thalassemia Minor

2. Beta Thalassemia :

a. Beta Thalassemia Major

b. Beta Thalassemia Major

The Thalassemia Major Types are lethal and the Thalassemia

Minors are less deadly. For the ( & #945;) thalassemia minor, it is also sometime

referred to as the silent carrier state. The reason behind this is because for

( & #945;) thalassemia minor or the silent carrier state, this condition normally

will not cause any significant health problems to the infected individual as

there is only a small shortage of alpha protein and the hemoglobin can still

perform its functions normally. Another reason why this disease is referred to

as the silent carrier is because ( & #945;) thalassemia minor is extremely

stealthy and it is very difficult to properly detect it.

As for the ( & #946;) thalassemia minor, it is also a disease

which is commonly known as the Thalassemia Trait. For the ( & #946;) thalassemia

minor or the Thalassemia trait, this condition arises due to the lack of beta

protein in the blood system of an individual. The carrier of ( & #946;)

thalassemia minor will experience no significant declination in health and for

some cases, the bearer of ( & #946;) thalassemia minor will only experience a mild

state of anemia.

For both the ( & #945;) thalassemia minor and ( & #946;)

thalassemia minor, many physicians often mistakenly diagnose the conditions of

thalassemia minor as iron deficiency anemia and thus prescribing the wrong iron

supplements to the bearer of the disease.
