March 07, 1998 - Aplastic Anæmia by Tibetan Medicine
Physician: Dr.Tenzin Dakpa
A male patient aged sixty –four, first visited the consultation room at Men-Tsee- Khang, the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute at Dharamsala, India. He brought with him a confirmed diagnosis of Aplastic Anæmia, with a history of chronic colitis, amoebic ulcers and internal piles. The initial blood test reported:
Hb-4.1 gm/dl (normal range is more than 10 gm/dl to 16 gm/dl)
Esr-80 mm/1st hour (normal range is less than 10mm)
RBC- Hypochromia (++)
Platelets appeared to be reduced
He also suffered from Ischæmic Heart Disease and was severely anæmic.
Prior to coming to the clinic, his treatment had consisted of blood transfusions totalling six bottles over a period of two months. His diagnosis had been confirmed through bone marrow testing and he had been advised to undergo a bone marrow transplant in Europe or in the US
The patient opted to try Tibetan Medicine. When he came to the Tibetan clinic, he was very thin, pale with a swollen face and a swollen leg. He complained of lethargy, giddiness, breathing difficulties, loss of appetite and constipation. His blood pressure was 40/120 and his haemoglobin at 3.1 gm/dl. His pulse was slow and weak. His treatment was begun according to the Tibetan approach based on the understanding that of his illness as "Chong-Chen" meaning "Great Wasting"
The first prescription given to him included: Special Rinchen Yunying (Precious Old Turquoise), Special Gurgum 8 (Carthamus Tinctorus 8), Dali 16 (Rhododendron 16), Shiru (Allae-Saussurae), Agar 8 (Aquilaria 8)
After a week, the patient responded to the treatment with remarkable improvement. He started to eat more, his constipation was gone, the facial and leg swelling subsided, and slowly his blood transfusions were stopped. His haemoglobin was checked and measured at an astonishing improvement by 4.3 mg/dl having gone from Hb 3.1 mg/dl to 7.4 mg/dl. After eight months of treatment, his haemoglobin rose to 9 mg/dl and his Hb level further increased to 10.44 mg/dl. His heart condition and chronic colitis, bleeding piles and complications also improved simultaneously.
The patient continued to take Tibetan Medicine. His Hb level further increased to 10 mg/dl with this continued treatment approach and he now leads a normal life.
