- Why does thrombocytopenia often develop in children? To understand, it is important to take into account the important specific features of this period of life. First, the child must grow and develop. This is the most important thing from birth. And the child is forced to use a significant part of the resources for this process. Especially a lot of proteins, vitamins, minerals are needed.
- Medical experience shows that it often happens differently. Secondly, the child moves from the sterile conditions of the uterus to an aggressive microbial-viral environment. In the environment surrounding the child, there are always many pathogens of fungal, helminthic and parasitic diseases.
- Then the likelihood of starting treatment for thrombocytopenia increases. As well as the development of various foci of chronic infection. Thirdly, the ability to purify blood in the kidneys and liver also gradually increases from birth and during the first years of a child's life.
- And you also need to take into account other important features of the lifestyle. Fourthly, one of the conditions for the development of a child is communication with peers.
- There are many examples from my practice! You will find some in this book. I will give one now. An example from practice. Once the parents of a child living in Greece turned to me for help. The child had already undergone bone marrow transplants several times. And the bone marrow did not take root.
- The child had a relapse, from which the doctors in Greece were unable to recover. The child died of sepsis caused by a banal infection. Fifthly, proper upbringing of the child is very important for the prevention of thrombocytopenia. In the broad sense of the word.
- Treatment of immune thrombocytopenia in adolescents: the result depends on gender!
- And after puberty in boys, the liver begins to be controlled by male sex hormones. And the treatment of thrombocytopenia in this period of time ends. An example from practice. A mother with a teenage son came for a consultation. The son is one of the best at school. However, he is forced to regularly miss classes. After each relapse of thrombocytopenia.
- When does thrombocytopenia most often occur in adults?
- Features of thrombocytopenia treatment during pregnancy.
- What actions should be taken first of all if thrombocytopenia develops during pregnancy? 1. Revision of the cosmetics and household chemicals used. This will unload the very actively working excretory system. The excretory system of a woman works more intensively every day until the end of pregnancy. It is especially important if there is toxicosis of pregnancy. 2. Emotional comfort.
- Tested on dozens of families! 3. Eating at least 4 times a day.
- Except for the last meal of the day. And after the walk, a night's rest is recommended. 4. Proper diet.
- Symptomatic thrombocytopenia after hepatitis? What to do?
- The features of lifestyle, regimen and diet will be discussed later in the book. An example from practice. A woman of 70+ years of age once came to me. With a request to develop a nutrition program for cirrhosis of the liver. After the consultation, she surprised me several times.
- Why does any emotional stress reduce platelets?
- I will give a few more very illustrative examples. An example from practice. In one case, I treated a child's thrombocytopenia with medicinal herbs for over a year. The platelets rose to a safe range above 50,000 without the risk of bleeding. However, there was no stable increase to normal.
- Ecology in the family will help cure thrombocytopenia!
- The more dangerous toxins of other origin that are dangerous for platelets, the liver and kidneys will be able to remove. A case from practice. One case of thrombocytopenia was cured shortly after the consultation.
- How does environmental ecology affect?
- Chronic exogenous subhepatic intoxication syndrome (СESHI) is one of the causes of thrombocytopenia relapse.
- Who is most at risk of СESHI?
- What to do with elevated body temperature?
- What to do if thrombocytopenia worsens during an infection?
- Treatment of thrombocytopenia according to the method of Dr. Borys Skachko
- Psychological support for a patient with thrombocytopenia.
- Breathing exercises and proper breathing will help cure thrombocytopenia.
- Proper cleansing during thrombocytopenia remission?
- And for this, each meal should contain: F+F+S+L. F is fat. In the daily diet, at least 70% of fats should be of animal origin. This is lard, sour cream, chicken eggs (2-3 per week), moderately fatty fish, pork.
- And to prevent relapse and maintain remission, pure water is excluded! Instead of pure water, you need to make compote, uzvar, kvass on purified water. Diet. The required number of meals is 4-5 times a day at approximately equal intervals (every 2-3-4 hours).
- What to eat at each meal during the day?
- The most rational layout of protein foods throughout the day.
- Treatment of primary or immune thrombocytopenia with sodium chloride.
- When is table salt your assistant in treatment? Firstly, when you add it to dishes at the beginning of cooking.
- In both cases, you get more benefit! Secondly, sodium chloride added at the beginning of heat treatment will help to cook the products better. Accordingly, such dishes will be easier to digest even for a weakened digestive system. And you will get more benefit. Thirdly, fulfilling the first two conditions improves the taste of the dishes. You will get more pleasure. And your body will get even more benefit. Fourthly, sodium chloride is very important for replenishing the hydrochloric acid reserves of gastric juice. And hydrochloric acid is an indispensable component for starting the digestion of all proteins. And improving the nutrition of your immune system. Fifthly, while sodium chloride is in your digestive system, the secretion of secretions increases.
- And this additionally improves the digestion of food. Sixthly, sodium chloride helps not only in cleansing products. But also you personally.
- By retaining more water in the blood, sodium chloride stretches the heart muscle. And you begin to develop a huge "Bavarian" heart! At the same time, valve insufficiency and heart failure increase (42, 55, 56, 57). Secondly, the danger increases when you use products with hidden salt.
- External treatment of thrombocytopenia with sodium chloride.
- Why do I not recommend using liver "cleansing" in the treatment of thrombocytopenia?
- How do I treat hormone-refractory ITP in children and adults?
- Chronic thrombocytopenia: features of ITP treatment in adults and children.

- How to stop hemorrhoidal bleeding with natural remedies?
- Treatment of uterine bleeding with natural remedies.
- What natural remedies can quickly stop bleeding gums?
- What natural remedies can help stop nosebleeds with thrombocytopenia?
- Bruises on the legs for no reason? What to do with hidden bleeding?
- Treatment of anemia after an exacerbation of thrombocytopenia.
- What does this simple exercise give you? First, controlled oxygen starvation irritates the bone marrow. And red blood cells begin to be produced more actively.
- During physical activity against the background of anemia, you irrevocably lose the capabilities of your heart! The human heart is very sensitive to anemia (7). And in the long term, heart failure will occur earlier. Second, the load on the kidneys from the breakdown products of red blood cells is reduced as much as possible. Which get to the kidneys from hemorrhages under the skin. Third, you will conduct a simple diagnosis of the state of the autonomic nervous system.
- For several reasons. First, it saves your time. If you hold your breath while inhaling, you have to wait much longer for the desire to inhale. And the result depends only on the feeling of lack of air. Secondly, when holding your breath while exhaling, you do not stretch the lung tissue! And this is an active prevention of pulmonary emphysema and pneumosclerosis. Especially important if you do not know the basics of proper breathing. Thirdly, to inhale air after holding your breath, you will first need to exhale. And this is not very convenient. It is much more convenient to inhale when there is less air in the lungs.
- What to do if anemia developed as a result of bleeding?
- Doctors of what specialties can help the hematologist treat immune, primary or refractory thrombocytopenia? My experience shows that in each case, thrombocytopenia develops according to its own unique plan. A medical consultation can improve the treatment process. Consultation with a psychologist (30, 45, 58). Almost everyone needs it! Children's obvious or hidden psychological problems at any age can initiate treatment for thrombocytopenia. Self-medication in this case is ineffective. Consultation with an infectious disease specialist. Always needed for primary thrombocytopenia. And also during an exacerbation. To identify an infection that is dangerous for platelets. The effectiveness of an infectious disease specialist's treatment can be increased with medicinal plants. Consultation with a toxicologist. In the literal sense, it is unlikely to happen. However, the knowledge on proper 24/7 body cleansing from this book can easily replace it. Consultation with a nutritionist or gastroenterologist. Especially useful for flatulence, the passage of gases with a smell from the intestines. Consultation with an immunologist. Especially important during the period of hormone use and after the withdrawal of hormones. To maintain the activity of the immune system at a safe level. Consultation with a family doctor. Will allow you to identify and eliminate other important factors. And combine the recommendations of different doctors into a single treatment system for thrombocytopenia.
- Why thrombocytopenia or what to do with other autoimmune diseases?
- With thrombocytopenia, the autoimmune process rarely disrupts the functions of the liver and kidneys. That is why it is easier to cure thrombocytopenia than other autoimmune diseases. An example from practice. A woman from Russia came to me about SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus). Typical complaints had been there for more than 20 years. However, they were not confirmed by laboratory tests.
- I have more stories about autoimmune thyroiditis. I will indicate one of them in the book. An example from practice. A young couple came to me with a problem of long-term female infertility. The wife has autoimmune thyroiditis with a high antibody titer. And no real prospects for conceiving a healthy child on her own.
- Properly prepare medicinal plants for autoimmune diseases!
