immunoglobulin A deficiency

[Guest guest]

Evening all.

 

I have a tough question for anyone who may have some serious

answers. My friends 6 year old daughter was diagnosed as having a

severe IgA deficieny. It is not quite 0, but not much higher than

that. She was told there are blood transfusions for other

Immunoglobulin type deficiencies, but not specifically for A. If you

are deficient it really opens you up for some problems concerning

ifections, especially airborn. Like your eyes, ears, mouth, lungs,

any open part of your body that has direct contact with air is immune

deficient. This is just what she told me, I have never heard of this

before. The poor kid also had GERD and is on Prilosec 2wc a day.

She has granular like warts in her colon that are not cancerous, but

they will bleed as she gets older and stool rubs against them. They

did a gazillion test on her and ruled out Celiac and CF. Also had

allergy tests run and didn't come up with anything. I told her to

try an elimination diet and she said she had and didn;t come up with

anything. They are pretty healthy eaters and grow alot of their own

food. The docs have pretty much done all they " can " do.

 

Her husband had 2 grand mal seizures last Nov. He is 38 and at the

time was VERY STRESSED OUT! They, of course, ran a gazillion tests

on him and can find no reason for the seizures. He is on an

antiseizure medication for prophylaxis. He also just got laid off

and started his own business. Insurance for his family per month

will run 1100.00 because of this whole seizure thing. 800 and more

of it just for him. Are there any antiseizure herbs out there that

he could use in conjunction with these drugs or possibly get off them

since they don't have any reason, other than a " maybe " that this will

happen again? I know this is alot to ask and fairly detailed. Any

help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Carlin, This is definitely one for Doc... I'm sure he can recommend something...wow to have so many problems so young.... As you know he is gone for a week.... I would suggest just as a beginner to start taking Total Tonic... cleanses will probably be in order but I'll let Doc handle the remedy... Total tonic is a natural antibiotic... which from what I've read seems to be part of the treatment (antibiotics).... the definition of iga goes as follows:

 

 

 

 

Definition:

 

 

Low levels of or complete absence of immune globulin A, which causes decreased immune function in the mucosal surfaces (e.g., mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and lungs) and results in increased risk for respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. It is associated with autoimmune diseases.

I just spoke to Doc as he was leaving...he will respond when he gets back next week...
