The Truth About Natural Anemia Treatment and Natural Anemia Cure

What is Anemia

Anemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of hemoglobin. The tissues of the body need a regular supply of oxygen to stay healthy. The hemoglobin contained in red blood cells, allows them to carry oxygen throughout the body. Red blood cells live for only about 120 days. When they die, the iron they contain is returned to the bone marrow and used to create new red blood cells. Anemia can develop when heavy bleeding causes significant iron loss. It may also occur when something happens to slow down the production of red blood cells or to increase the rate at which they are destroyed. When Anemia occurs, the heart tries to pump harder, so as to increase the tissue perfusion. But, it may overwork itself, enlarge, or even fail.

Anemia thus can be mild, moderate, or severe enough to lead to life-threatening complications.

Types of Anemia:

Anemia can be classified as:

• Iron deficiency anemia
• Folic acid deficiency anemia
• Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia
• Vitamin C deficiency anemia
• Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
• Hemolytic anemia
• Sickle cell anemia
• Aplastic anemia
• Anemia due to chronic disease

Causes of Anemia

Anemia is caused by bleeding, decreased red blood cell production, or increased red blood cell destruction.

Poor diet can contribute to vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, in which fewer red blood cells are produced.

Hereditary disorders and certain diseases can cause increased blood cell destruction.

However, excessive bleeding is the most common cause of anemia, and the speed with which blood loss occurs has a significant effect on the severity of symptoms.

Chronic blood loss may be caused by:

Heavy menstrual flow, hemorrhoids, nose-bleeds, cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, stomach ulcers or long-term alcohol abuse

Acute blood loss is usually the result of childbirth, injury, a ruptured blood vessel or surgery.

Symptoms of Anemia

Weakness, fatigue, and a run-down feeling may be signs of mild anemia. Other signs include skin that is pasty or sallow, or lack of color in the creases of the palm, gums, nail beds, or lining of the eyelids.

Other symptoms of Anemia are:

• Chest pain (Angina pectoris)
• Headache
• Inability to concentrate and/or memory loss
• Inflammation of the mouth (stomatitis) or tongue (glossitis)
• Insomnia
• Irregular heartbeat
• Loss of appetite
• Dry, brittle or ridged nails
• Rapid breathing
• Sores in the mouth, throat, or rectum
• Sweating
• Swelling of the hands and feet
• Ringing of the ears (Tinnitus)
• Unexplained bleeding or bruising
• A craving to chew ice, paint, or dirt (Pica)

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron deficiency Anemia is the most common form of anemia. Its onset is gradual. The deficiency begins when the body loses more iron than it gains from food and other sources. Since depleted iron stores cannot meet the red blood cells needs, fewer red blood cells develop. In this early stage of Anemia, the red blood cells look normal, but they are reduced in number. Later, the body tries to compensate for the iron deficiency by producing more red blood cells, which are characteristically small in size.

Folic Acid Deficiency Anemia

Folic Acid Deficiency Anemia is the most common type of megaloblastic anemia. Here, red blood cells are bigger than normal. It is caused by a deficiency of folic acid, a vitamin that the body needs to produce normal cells. Folic acid anemia is especially common in infants and teenagers. Although this condition usually results from a dietary deficiency, it is sometimes due to the body's inability to absorb enough folic acid from foods. The body needs vitamin C to absorb folic acid.

Smoking raises the risk of developing this condition by interfering with the absorption of vitamin C. Folic acid anemia can be a complication of pregnancy, when a woman's body needs eight times more folic acid than it does otherwise.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia

Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is another type of megaloblastic anemia. It develops when the body does not absorb enough of this nutrient, which is necessary for the creation of red blood cells. The body stores large amounts of B12, so this condition may not become apparent until as long as four years after B12 absorption slows down or stops. The resulting drop in red blood cell production can cause:

• Loss of muscle control
• Loss of sensation in the legs, hands and feet
• Soreness or burning of the tongue
• Weight loss
• Yellow-blue color-blindness

The most common form of B12 deficiency is pernicious anemia. Since most people who eat meat or eggs get enough B12 in their diets, a deficiency of this vitamin usually means that the body is not absorbing it properly. This can occur among people who have had intestinal surgery or those who do not produce adequate amounts of intrinsic factor, a chemical secreted by the stomach lining that combines with B12 to help its absorption in the small intestine. Symptoms of pernicious anemia include problems with movement or balance, a slick tongue, tingling in the hands and feet, confusion, depression and memory loss. Pernicious anemia can also damage the spinal cord. A doctor should be notified whenever symptoms of this condition occur.

Vitamin C Deficiency Anemia

This is a rare disorder that causes the bone marrow to manufacture abnormally small red blood cells. Vitamin C deficiency anemia results from a severe and long-standing dietary deficiency.

Hemolytic Anemia

Hemolytic anemia is a condition in which infection or antibodies destroy red blood cells more rapidly than bone marrow can replace them. Some are born with this condition and some may acquire it later on in life.

Thalassemia

An inherited form of hemolytic anemia, thalassemia stems from the body's inability to manufacture as much normal hemoglobin as it needs. There are two categories of thalassemia, depending on which of the amino acid chains is affected. (Hemoglobin is composed of four chains of amino acids.) In alpha-thalassemia, there is an imbalance in the production of the alpha chain of amino acids; in beta-thalassemia, there is an imbalance in the beta chain. Alpha-thalassemia most commonly affects people of African descent (25% have at least one gene); beta-thalassemia most commonly affects people of Mediterranean and Southeast-Asian ancestry. Characterized by production of red blood cells that are unusually small and fragile, thalassemia only affects people who inherit the gene for it from each parent (autosomal recessive inheritance).

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Warm antibody hemolytic anemia is the most common form of this disorder. This condition occurs when the body produces auto antibodies that coat red blood cells. The coated cells are destroyed by the spleen, liver or bone marrow.

In cold antibody hemolytic anemia, the body attacks red blood cells at or below normal body temperature. This condition is usually mild, short-lived and disappears without treatment.

The acute form of this condition frequently develops in people who have had pneumonia, mononucleosis, or other acute infections.

Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle cell Anemia is a chronic, incurable condition that causes the body to produce defective hemoglobin, which forces red blood cells to assume an abnormal crescent shape. Unlike normal oval cells, fragile sickle cells cannot hold enough hemoglobin to nourish body tissue. The deformed shape makes it hard for sickle cells to pass through narrow blood vessels. When capillaries become obstructed, a life-threatening condition called sickle cell crisis is likely to occur.

Sickle cell Anemia is hereditary. It almost always affects people of African or Mediterranean descent. A child who inherits the sickle cell gene from each parent will have the disease, but a child who inherits the gene from only one parent will carry the sickle cell trait, but will not have the disease.

Aplastic Anemia

Aplastic Anemia is characterized by a decreased production of red and white blood cells and platelets (disc-shaped cells that allow the blood to clot). It is sometimes curable by bone marrow transplant, but is potentially fatal This disorder may be inherited or acquired as a result of recent severe illness, long-term exposure to industrial chemicals, or use of anticancer drugs and certain other medications.

Anemia of Chronic Disease

Cancer, chronic infection or inflammation, kidney and liver disease often cause mild or moderate Anemia. Chronic liver failure generally produces the most severe symptoms.

Diagnosis

Personal and family health history may suggest the presence of certain types of Anemia . Laboratory tests that measure the percentage of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood are used to confirm the diagnosis and determine which type of Anemia is responsible for a patient's symptoms.

X-rays and examinations of bone marrow may be used to identify the source of bleeding.

Anemia Treatment

Conventional Therapy for Treating Anemia
Anyone who has anemia caused by poor nutrition should modify his or her diet to include more vitamins, minerals and iron. Foods such as lean red meat, dried beans and fruits, liver, poultry, and enriched breads and cereals are all good sources of iron. In addition, eating foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and juices help promote absorption of iron.

Patients diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia should undergo a thorough physical examination and medical history to determine the cause of anemia, particularly if chronic or acute blood-loss is suspected. The cause of a specific anemia will determine the type of treatment recommended.

Anemia due to nutritional deficiencies can usually be treated at home with iron supplements or self-administered injections of vitamin B12. People with folic acid anemia should take oral folic acid replacements.

Vitamin C deficiency anemia can be cured by taking daily supplements of vitamin C.
Many therapies for iron-deficiency anemia focus on adding iron-rich foods to the diet or on techniques to improve circulation and digestion. Iron supplementation, especially with iron citrate (less likely to cause constipation), can be given in combination with herbs that are rich in iron

Surgery may be necessary to treat anemia caused by excessive loss of blood. Transfusions of red blood cells may be used to accelerate production of red blood cells.

Medication or surgery may also be necessary to control heavy menstrual flow, repair a bleeding ulcer, or remove polyps (growths or nodules) from the bowels.

Patients with thalassemia usually do not require treatment. However, people with a severe form may require periodic hospitalization for blood transfusions and/or bone marrow transplantation.

Sickle Cell Anemia

Treatment for sickle cell Anemia involves regular eye examinations, immunizations for pneumonia and infectious diseases, and prompt treatment for sickle cell crises and infections of any kind. Psychotherapy or counseling may help patients deal with the emotional toll that this condition may take on them.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia

A life-long regimen of B12 shots is necessary to control symptoms of pernicious Anemia. The patient may be advised to limit physical activity until treatment restores strength and balance.

Aplastic Anemia

People who have aplastic anemia are especially susceptible to infection. Treatment for aplastic Anemia may involve blood transfusions and bone marrow transplant to replace malfunctioning cells with healthy ones.

Anemia of Chronic Disease

There is no specific treatment for Anemia associated with chronic disease, but treating the underlying illness may alleviate this condition. This type of Anemia rarely becomes severe. If it does, transfusions or hormone treatment to stimulate red blood cell production may be prescribed.

Hemolytic Anemia

There is no specific treatment for cold-antibody hemolytic Anemia. About one-third of patients with warm-antibody hemolytic Anemia respond well to large doses of intravenous and oral corticosteroids, which are gradually discontinued as the patient's condition improves. Patients with this condition who do not respond to medical therapy must have their spleen surgically removed. This operation controls Anemia in about half of the patients on whom it is performed. Immune-system suppressants are prescribed for patients, when surgery does not produce the desired results.

Folic Acid and Iron Deficiency Anemia

It usually takes three to six weeks to correct folic acid or iron deficiency Anemia. Patients should continue taking supplements for another six months to replenish iron reserves and should take periodic blood tests to make sure the bleeding has stopped and Anemia has not recurred.

Pernicious Anemia

Although pernicious Anemia is considered incurable, regular B12 shots will alleviate symptoms and reverse complications. Some symptoms will disappear almost as soon as treatment begins.
