Thalassemia
Author: Dr. Paramesh Banerji
This is one of the most challenging diseases being faced by mankind with virtually no permanent treatment for those who suffer from it. The only real treatment is periodical replenishment of blood through transfusion.
We are working very hard on this disease. So far there has been a limited success and two distinct treatment strategies have been designed. We have found these to work on a good percentage of cases. However, though this percentage is small it is infinitely better than what is available from conventional medicine where there are virtually no successes to show.
We are listing below only a handful of cases from the hundreds that are being successsfully treated by us to illustrate the point.
As can be seen from the citings the patient's need for blood transfusion has gradually diminished and ultimately stopped. At the same time the patient's Haemoglobin count gradually rose and allowed him/her to lead a normal life.
S. No Patient's Initials Sex Age Case Details *
1 Ms SM F 4 Earlier she required blood transfusion once every 22 days to
1 month, now she did not need blood transfusion for the past 6
months and 10 days. Hepatosplenomegaly>>> Hb increased from
5.8g% to 7.6g% in 6 months. Trend is upwards. Condition of
patient is stable and she is living a normal life .
2 Mr SM M 7 >>> Did not need blood tranfusion for over 5 years. Hb increased
from 5 to 9, over the last 5 years under our treatment
3 Ms RG F 6 Hb level is remaining higher than before. However, the patient has
to do blood transfusion every month inspite of elevated levels of
Hb because of non-availability of blood. Earler Hb used to drop to
4.8 within a month, now Hb is dropping to 7.8 within a month
4 Ms KD F 10 >>>Did not require blood transfusion since 2001. Earlier required
every 6 months
5 Mr AS M 2 Hypersplenism with sepsis, epistaxis >>>>. Patient feels much
better.
6 Ms PB F 10 >>>> Never required blood transfusion under our treatment since
1998. 8 months ago her Hb was 7.2gm%. Her Hb had gone down
to 4.8gm%. Now she is much better and is living a normal life.
Spleen was enlarged earlier but now is normal in size.
7 Ms SB F 27 >>Improving - Earlier required Blood transfusion every 15 days -
now she needed it after 7 months
8 Ms KG F 35 >> Hb was 5.9 gm% on 21.02.05, now Hb is 10.9 gm% on
22.03.06. Did not need Blood transfusion. No allopathic medicines
used since our treatment .
* Each > represents an expression of the fact that the patient is 25% better than when she/he started the treatment with us.

We have seen Dr Banerji's name in previous threads. As always, you can find these by doing a search for his name. I expressed my opinion at
http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1011.msg11273#msg11273
I would find it hard to believe that in a country with as many thals as India, that we wouldn't hear about successes from this treatment if they existed.
-
Not to put any one down, but I agree with Andy.
There has been no news break announcing many successes
and with all our many phrases, I would rather concentrate my energry on the tried and tested than the might..
Do you guys know what I mean?
Although we are always trying new things, there is always facts to support it and with aromatherapy, that tends to help us emotionally.

Hi Nice friend,
I have contacted this doctor two years ago and i asked him many questions which he answered all but actually many answers were vague to me. Later on by coincidence i read in one of the sites that his treatment was tried by a thal major patient for one year and there were no positive results. If you want me to PM the questions to you let me know

My daughter has been consistently taking Ceanothus americana, a homeopathic medicine. This has definitely helped in keeping the size of her spleen small.

Hi,
I came up with a research work regarding homeopathic medicine use in thalassemia.Pulsatilla Nigricans , Ceanothus Americanus and Ferrum Metallicum. It is a work of scientists at Kalyani University and few Homeopathic doctors.I did get in touch with Professor KhudaBukhsh over email to know more. He mentioned how its use in addition to HU treatment showed postive results in some patients. Here is the link:

We have also visited this topic previously at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php?topic=1685.msg13954#msg13954
Can Homeopathy Bring Additional Benefits to Thalassemic Patients on Hydroxyurea
The full original article can be read at http://ecam.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/nem161v1
There was some concern in this thread about using ferrum metallicum because it is basically iron shavings. However, homeopathic doses are very small, so the iron content of this treatment would be minimal. It should be stressed that these homeopathic agents were used in conjunction with hydroxyurea in this study, and not by themselves. The combination of the treatments led to better results than either by themselves.

Thanks very much for forwarding the link of this article. I haven't read this before but I was aware of this study. I have seen the interviews of some of the researchers involved in this project on a TV programme - about two years back.
-
Can anyone staying in kolkata, India tell me about the Homeopathy medicines.I want to meet this Doctor. Actruallu I am gradually getting desperate to bring some benefit to my Son.

Hi,
I am based in the US,do not really know the contacts of the Drs. in this study.
Professor Anisur Rahaman Khuda Bukhsh will be able to give you the same. Professor Rahaman's email is
khudabukhsh_48@rediffmail.com. He is a Professor at the Department of Zoology at Kalyani University, so you could find phone contacts too.
The homeopathic doctors who prescribe the medicines to be taken alongwith HU treatment are, Dr. Debarsi Das and Dr. Saiful Houque.
Once I vivsit Kolkata, I also plan to get in touch with the Doctors.
best regards.

One of my very close relatives is a homeopath. So, I had the privilege of going through several books on Homeopathic Materia Medica and case histories. As far as my understanding goes, homeopathy is not an exact science. The prescriptions are made on the basis of symptoms and manifestations rather than the name of the disease / type of infection / type of deformity etc. The Doctors primarily work on a trial and error basis. It could also be such that the same medicine may not be working well for two persons exhibiting similar symptoms. So, the experience of the doctor matters a lot. It is indeed very very difficult to ascertain whether some Doctor is a fraud or not.
-
Thank you Umair for this confidence, but i will PM you the questions too and let me know if you have the same feedback

@ Life is beutifull
i agree to u that homeopathy is not a proven knowledge.. its all abt experments on patients ..
if something suit to patient and giving benefits for the patient homeo doctor will own that treament ... or if that treatment does not suit any patient homeo doctor will say ... it was the fate of this patient not the reaction of medicine ... i mean to say he will not own the side effects or their own misstaken treatment ........

Hi Nice friend,
Well, I dont know whether homeopathy can offer a cure to Thalassemia.
But the fact is Dr. P. Banerjee is the most well known homeopath in Kolkata. He has been curing people of many ailments for long time.
But as for thalassemia, I really dont know. Though I know of 1-2 cases where adults have been off transfusion for as long as 5 years and more, while on his treatment, I have not met anyone personally on this or dont have details.
As for Professor Khudabuksh, his research work categorically says that any administered homepathic treatment is in conjunction with Hydroxyurea.
Whereas there is no denying that one has to fall back on established lines of treatment for thal, like transfusion, hydroxyurea, etc it might me worth taking the risk of trying other options, only if reliable and authentic patient expereinces are available. Afterall,there is some merit in age old homeopathy/herbal/unani/alternative medicines.
-
i am not in position to take any risk bcoze i m having several complications as well .... diabetes , ulcer, hep B, etc... thats why i m loioking for further more details...well i have asked some questions to Dr.banerji .. n waiting for reply ... lets see wat happen .... i think he is gonna reply me ... i dont know why i thought like that.. but stiill hopefull to hear from Dr.banerji ....
@hopefull momy
if u can gather someinfo about the people who cured to thalassemia bcoze of dr.banerji's treatment it will help all of us ... thank you for such a helping reply ...

Is there a study as to which homeopathy medicines could work good without hydroxyurea?
-
I have never seen anything that presented any useful information about the use of homeopathy with thal major, other than in combination with hydroxyurea.
