Megaloblastic (Pernicious) Anemia

[Guest guest]

Dear Carole,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Pernicious anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia.

 

Alternative names: Macrocytic achylic anemia;

Congenital pernicious anemia; Juvenile pernicious

anemia; Vitamin B12 deficiency (malabsorption)

 

Anemia is a condition where red blood cells are not

providing adequate oxygen to body tissues. There are

many types and causes of anemia.

 

Pernicious anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic

factor, a substance needed to absorb vitamin B12 from

the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin B12, in turn, is

necessary for the formation of red blood cells.

 

Intrinsic factor is a protein the body uses to absorb

vitamin B12. When gastric secretions do not have

enough intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 is not adequately

absorbed, resulting in pernicious anemia.

 

Because vitamin B12 is needed by nerve cells and blood

cells for them to function properly, pernicious anemia

causes a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue,

shortness of breath, tingling sensations, difficulty

walking, and diarrhea.

 

Other causes of low levels of intrinsic factor (and

thus of pernicious anemia) include atrophic gastric

mucosa, autoimmunity against gastric parietal cells,

and autoimmunity against intrinsic factor.

 

Absence of intrinsic factor itself is the most common

cause of Vitamin B12 deficiency. Intrinsic factor is

produced by cells within the stomach. In adults, the

inability to make intrinsic factor can be the result

of chronic gastritis or the result of surgery to

remove the stomach. The onset of the disease is slow

and may span decades.

 

Very rarely, infants and children are found to have

been born lacking the ability to produce effective

intrinsic factor. This form of congenital pernicious

anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive

disorder. (You need a defective gene from both parents

to get it.) However, most often, pernicious anemia and

other forms of megaloblastic anemia in children

results from other causes of Vitamin B12 deficiency or

other vitamin deficiencies.

 

Although a juvenile form of the disease can occur in

children, pernicious anemia usually does not appear

before the age of 30. The average age at diagnosis is

60 years. Slightly more women than men are affected.

The disease can affect all racial groups, but the

incidence is higher among people of Scandinavian or

Northern European descent.

 

Risk factors include a family history of pernicious

anemia, Scandinavian or Northern European descent, and

a history of autoimmune endocrine disorders. This is

also seen in association with some autoimmune

endocrine diseases such as type 1 diabetes,

hypoparathyroidism, Addison's disease,

hypopituitarism, testicular dysfunction, Graves

disease, chronic thyroiditis, myasthenia gravis,

secondary amenorrhea and vitiligo.

 

In addition to pernicious anemia, other causes of

Vitamin B12 Deficiency include:

 

Nutrition (strict vegetarians without B12

supplementation, poor diet in infant, or poor maternal

nutrition during pregnancy)

Infection (intestinal parasites, bacterial overgrowth)

 

Gastrointestinal disease (stomach removal surgery,

celiac disease (sprue), Crohn's disease)

Drugs (colchicine, neomycin, tuberculosis treatment

with para amino salicylic acid)

Metabolic disorders (methylmalonic aciduria,

homocystinuria)

 

Many cells in our body need vitamin B12, including

nerve cells and blood cells. Inadequate vitamin B12

gradually affects sensory and motor nerves, causing

neurological problems to develop over time. It is

important to know that the neurological effects of

vitamin B12 deficiency may be seen before anemia is

diagnosed.

 

The anemia also affects the gastrointestinal system

and the cardiovascular system. The following symptoms

may indicate pernicious anemia:

 

shortness of breath, fatigue, pallor, rapid heart

rate, loss of appetite, diarrhea,tingling and numbness

of hands and feet (paresthesias), sore mouth,

unsteady gait, especially in the dark, tongue

problems, impaired sense of smell, bleeding gums,

positive Babinski's reflex, loss of deep tendon

reflexes, personality changes, " megaloblastic madness "

 

 

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. General sweeping several times.

 

3. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

solar plexus chakras and the liver using alternately

LWG and LWV. Energize the solar plexus with LWG and

more of ordinary LWV.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the navel chakra,

stomach and small and large intestines. Energize the

navel chakra with LWG then more of ordinary LWV.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

spleen using LWG. Energize with LWG then ordinary LWV.

Do this with caution.

 

6. Localized thorough sweeping on the meng mein

chakra and both kidneys using alternately LWG and LWO.

Energize the kidneys with W.

 

7. Localized through sweeping on the lungs. Directly

energize the back lungs with LWG, LWO and LWR prana.

This has strengthening and cleansing effect on the

blood. When using O, your fingers should be pointed

away from the head.

 

8. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra

alterantely with LWG and LWO. Energize it with LWR.

 

9. Localized thorough sweeping on both arms and legs

with emphasis on their minor chakras. Energize the

minor chakras with LWR.

 

10. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

heart. Energize through the back heart using LWG then

more of ordinary LWV.

 

11. Localized thorough sweeping on the crown, ajna,

forehead, back head minor and the throat chakras.

Energize them with LWG then more of ordinary LWV.

 

Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

Repeat treatment 3 times per week.

 

Recommend:

 

1. Daily physical exercise.

2. Healthy balanced diet which includes food rich in

folic acid and vitamin B12,iron, and Vitamin C for

healthy blood cell development.

3. Regular proper practice of the Meditation on Twin

Hearts preferably with a group.

 

Love,
