More HELP for SICKLE CELL Anemics

14 Sivan 5768

(sorry for the late-in-the-day post. my present schedule is causing some delays in my usual daily routine)

I've posted about Sickle Cell Anemia treatments before, including
the path to a possible cure for the disease. Today's post is about Hydroxea, a drug some doctors are reluctant to prescribe simply because they lack sufficient information about it.

"We know that many people with sickle cell disease aren't being offered this drug, which is the only one we have to treat this disease," says Sophie Lanzkron, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the
Sickle Cell Center for Adults at Johns Hopkins.

There's some interesting research to back up Lanzkron's statement. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, paid for that research. Read about it
HERE and be sure to share the findings with relevant medical professionals.

Find out how to search for and how to contact the medical professional you need when you read my book. It's all about Patient Empowerment.

- By the way, I APPRECIATE your votes for my various blogposts (I installed that starred widget thingy just last week, even though it appears on every page of this year-or-so old blog). Feedback from YOU makes my day! If you don't mind, let me also know why you've bought my book. Sales rose sharply this month and I'm curious to know why it's selling so briskly just now.

Have you considered the fact that this might work another way? I am wondering if anyone else has come across something
like this in the past? Let me know your thoughts...

The medical world is making advances and no human can possibly keep up with them all. Stay attuned to medical sites and news. Success may yet come in the foreseeable future.

Hi:

I recently registered on itsmycrisisandillcryifineedto.blogspot.com.
I'm hoping to search around a bit more and come across interesting individuals and discover a couple of tips.


I really hope this post didn't find itself in an inappropriate section. I'm hoping you'll forgive me if it does.
