Dear Margaret
My wife has recently has a high red blood cell count and has put on about 3 stone in weight without the food intake to claim as being the problem.
My wife had a nervous breakdown about 7 years ago and was put on a
medication called rispodol which increased weight. Since the weight my
wife has
changed medication to solium which the psychiatrist said was not a weight increasing drug.
My hope is you may have some options for my wife to try reducing the
weight and bring down the red blood count. The other thing she was
told was she had a fatty liver. Hope you can help.
Regards Ray

Thank you for your question
Does your wife have other symptoms like that of
the chronic fatigue syndromes?
Regardless, I think that glyconutrient food
supplements should help and your
doctor/s may be pleased to learn about them, too
Many issues we deal with are autoimmune issues,
and in my opinion, glyconutrients along
with good nutrition are the best help
AND be sure to avoid exposure/s to
2-butoxyethanol,
the autoimmune causing chemical
Usually this chemical will cause a drop in red
blood cells, but the reticulocyte count
might be 'stuck' in overdrive & making the replacement RBCs too
fast, so too many. Are the red blood cells immature?
fragility of membranes? small-sized?
Is there any trace blood in urine or abnormal peripheral blood ?

PS A few years ago there was a lab tech who did a blood draw
for my doctor and in the conversation I had with her she shared
that her sister had worked on the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup
and that she had too much blood and the doctors were 'bleeding'
her.
I thought to myself, 'not a good idea' - some day she will not have enough blood' |
