At 15 years, the last thing on anyone's mind would probably be battling a life-threatening illness. Unfortunately for Kaitlyn this became her life. She was halfway through Year 11 and enjoying life as a teenager when she was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML).
She had a number of symptoms that pointed to leukemia, but managed to have an excuse for every one of them. She blamed her severe bruising on the rugby league, which she was a part of at school. She was tired but she shrugged it off because she worked a lot and played every sport imaginable.
Kaitlyn never forget the moment the lovely female doctor returned with a grim look on her face to give her diagnosis. The next three weeks went by in a blur as she took a series of medical tests.
Leukemia is the general term used to classify a group of cancers that develops in the bone marrow. Leukemia stems from developing leukocytes that have undergone a malignant change. This means that they constantly undergo rapid mitosis and the leukocytes produced are immature and fail to function properly.
Leukemia is the general term used to classify a group of cancers that develops in the bone marrow. Leukemia stems from developing leukocytes that have undergone a malignant change. This means that they constantly undergo rapid mitosis and the leukocytes produced are immature and fail to function properly.
There are several different types and subtypes of leukaemia. For instance, leukemia can be either myeloid or lymphocytic. The terms myeloid and lymphocytic refer to the types of cells from which the particular type of leukaemia originates. Myeloid leukemia involves myeloblast descendants and develops in neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils and monocytes. Lymphocytic leukemia develop in two other types of leukocytes called T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes.
Additionally leukemia can also be acute or chronic. Healthy bone marrow usually contains a few immature cells called blast cells. These blast cells evolve into mature erythocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes which are then released into the blood stream. In people with acute leukaemia, the diseased bone marrow produces an excessive number of abnormal blast cells, called leukemic cells.

In people with acute leukaemia, the diseased bone marrow produces an excessive number of abnormal blast cells, called leukemic cells.
These cells accumulate in the bone marrow interfering with the production of normal blood cells. Acute leukaemia develops and progresses quickly and therefore needs to be treated as soon as it is diagnosed. Whereas in chronic leukaemia there is an accumulation of mature but abnormal white blood cells that have undergone a malignant change when evolving from a blast cell. Chronic leukaemia progresses more slowly than acute leukaemia and may not require treatment for a long time after it is diagnosed.
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. In CML the bone marrow produces too many white cells, called granulocytes. These leukemic blasts cells gradually crowd the bone marrow, interfering with normal blood cell production. They also spill out of the bone marrow and circulate around the body in the bloodstream. Because they are not fully mature, they are unable to work properly to fight infections. Over time, a shortage of red cells and platelets can cause anaemia, bleeding and/or bruising.Symptoms of CML
Considering that chronic myeloid leukemia develops slowly, someone suffering from the disease may be asymptomatic in the early stages of the disease. However, as the disease progresses, various symptoms may arise. Possible symptoms include:
Treatment of CML
Chronic myeloid leukemia varies according to what phase the disease is in. The typical treatment for CML is chemotherapy and if the disease has advanced to a more fatal stage, a stem cell transplant is recommended.
Kaitlyn reached her breaking point when she started her fourth cycle of chemotherapy. She hated hospitals and became tired of fighting what seemed like a never ending battle. She started to pack her stuff in frustration whilst her mom sat next to her; frozen with tears running down her cheeks. It was at that moment she realised she was not just fighting for her life, but she was also fighting for her family.

Kaitlyn was already on her sixth cycle of chemotherapy when she was told she needed a stem cell transplant. She was only 15 when she planned her funeral but the surgery offered her a second chance at life.
Kaitlyn was a strong fighter and managed to become cancer free. She's now 26 years old and fulfilled her dream of joining the Queensland Police Service.
Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lupus,Lymne Disease,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma Infectious mononucleosis. .Asthma,Allergic diseases.Hiv_ Aids,Herpe ,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Myelo ,Lung disease,Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis,Dementia.(measles, tetanus, whooping cough, tuberculosis, polio and diphtheria),Chronic Diarrhea,Hpv,All Cancer Types,Diabetes,Hepatitis, I read about him online how he cure Tasha and Tara so i contacted him on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com / . even talked on whatsapps +2348149277967 believe me it was easy i drank his herbal medicine for two weeks and i was cured just like that isn't Dr Itua a wonder man?

ReplyDeleteI was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to gain a divine recovery.
