Answer 1

What disease is this? Try herbal medicines eg pluck the fresh leaves of a lemon tree, also pluck off 2 or three lemon fruit. Cut and boil together for about 45 minutes. Mix with tea and add sugar. Drink for one week

Answer 2

i had a patient once that had beta thalessimia. there's no cure for that disease, unless you count bone marrow transplant. there are two kinds of thalessimia, the alpha and the beta. beta is the worse kind. the problem lies in the conformation of the blood cell, which makes the blood less useful. instead of carrying the optimal number of oxygen molecules, the blood has reduced oxygen carrying capacity. this leads to severe anemia as hemoglobin goes down. the patient i once had was only a child of 8 years, but the only hope she had was to have regular blood transfusions. she had to undergo blood transfusions every time she becomes very pale. which happens about every 4 months. only fresh blood keeps her alive. without blood transfusions, her body cannot keep the bloof fresh with oxygen. this reduces the color of the blood, thus making the patient pale.

Answer 3

Thalassemia (American English) or thalassaemia (British English) is a dominant trait inherited disease of the red blood cells. In thalassemia, the genetic defect results in reduced rate of synthesis of normal globin chains (c.f. hemoglobinopathy, which is a structural change in a globin chain leading to instability or abnormal oxygen transport). The blood cells are vulnerable to mechanical injury and die easily. Blood transfusions on a regular basis (two to three week intervals) are used by many patients to cope with the disease and maintain a healthier lifestyle than living with no treatment; bone marrow transplants can be performed if the transfusion's main side effect - build-up of iron - itself begins to be a problem. A bone marrow transplant requires careful matching to avoid rejection and further complications.

The disease's geographical association with the Mediterranean sea was responsible for its naming: Thalassa is Greek for the sea, Haima is Greek for blood. Thalassemia occurs in all populations and ethnic groups, however the prevalence differs among different populations.
