Description

Polycythemia Vera is a disease of the Bone Marrow.
When the Bone marrow produces abnormal number of Blood Cells it is Polycythemia Vera.

Bone Marrow is a soft tissue present in the center of the Bones. It produces Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells and Platelets. The Blood Cells are produced in a regular manner. But in Polycythemia Vera the Bone Marrow becomes overactive and produces an abnormally large number of Blood Cells. This makes the Blood more thick and Blood Circulation becomes slow. It may lead to Thrombosis.

The cause for Polycythemia Vera may be mutated JAK2 gene. JAK2 produces a protein that helps in the multiplication and development of the Blood Cells. But when mutation occurs, JAK2 produces protein in excess. This results in the overproduction of Blood Cells. The Blood becomes thick and flows slowly in the Arteries and Veins. This leads to lack of oxygen in parts of the Body and causes Blood Clots.

If not treated properly, Polycythemia Vera may cause
Gout
Blood Clots
Heart Attack
Stomach Ulcers
Spleen Enlargement

Differential Diagnosis.
The excessive production White Blood Cells is termed as Leukocytosis .
The excessive production of Red Blood Cells is termed as Erythrocytosis .
The excessive production Platelets is termed Thrombocytosis .

Diagnosis
Best detected by a Blood Test. The Blood test will show..
Increase in Red Blood Cells.
Increase in Hemoglobin.
Any reading above 16.5 gms per deciliter should be considered as Polycythemia Vera

High Hb is an indication of low oxygen content in the body.
It is the natural reaction of the body to compensate. If you smoke or living in a polluted area, I suggest you to move to a pollution free area for few days and then see the results.

Dear M Abdul
I know it would be hard for you, but you better quit smoking. Or you may try Hemp oil. Add a few drops of Hemp oil only in your salad and have it daily. You may add fresh Carrots, Beetroots, Lemons, Oranges and Celery. Try it for 15 days and see what happens.

Can eating lot of vegetables increase haemoglobin RBC level in body above normal?
Or only bone marrow is the cause..

Rahul
Please make this clear that are you talking about RBcs or you are talking about Hb. Because reason for the increase of Hb and Rbcs are different.
If your red blood cells are increasing then Bone marrow is at fault. But if your Hb is increasing it means your oxygen level is low in your body and the body is compensating on it.
So make your your Hb is increasing or Red blood cells.

Dear Donald Poe
Go to a Homeopathy shop and ask for just one dose of Medorrhinum 10M. Have only 2 or 3 granules then wait for 1 week. Notice your symptoms and let us know.

Hello,
I was diagnosed with essential thrombocythemia jak 2 positive. I refused chemo and am taking Pegasys (immunotherapy injections). My platelets were at 1.3 million and are down to 728 on the medication. I eat exceptionally healthy, grow my own garden and juice green veggies including raw cannabis leaves and flowers (legal where I live) and fruit at least 5 times a week. Hardly eat meat, and drink plenty of fluids. I exercise regularly and take good care of myself overall. Are there any herbal remedies that can slow down this mutation naturally?

My husband has Essential Thrombocythemia where the bone marrow makes too many platelets. He takes Hydroxyrea for it. We have hoping to take that away completely or at least take the dosage down as it will go on for his lifespan. You have myeloproliferative disorders/polycythemia vera and also thrombocytopenia (the opposite of thrombocythemia). Would you direct him to use the suggestions for the polycythemia vera group?

Dear Ranjit High HB is an indication of low oxygen levels in the body. It can happen from multiple reasons with the environment, Tobacco, smoke, and alcohol being the main.
1. Visit a hill station for a week of few days to improve your oxygen levels.
2. Eat garlic in the morning with warm water. Take 1 clove. Crush it with wooden equipment. Eat after 5 minutes. High HB increases the viscosity of blood, thus slower blood circulation. Garlic acts as a blood thinner.
3. Quit Alcohol, Smoke, Tobacco for your health's sake. They are a reason for the rise in HB.
TO BE CONTINUED....

4. Have a glass of Green leaf juice ( GLJ ). Check the link below to know what is it. https://herbpathy.com/The-Genesis-Vid48
5. Go for exercise regularly, or walk, or Yoga. It will help you.
6. Take baking soda for 21 days. Add a pinch of baking soda to a glass of water. Take it once in the day. It will detox your body.
Do it for a month and see the results. However, if you feel complication anytime, it is advised to visit a doctor for an immediate physical diagnosis.

Hey Geena
You can use Coconut oil, Neem for bath. Check for more cures on Pruritus page in Disease section. Follow a procedure that is available to you.
For Fibromyalgia, add Turmeric to your routine. Take Turmeric decoction or Turmeric milk.
Take Ginger Tea, Garlic to your diet.
For Heart health, take Arjuna powder. Take 1 teaspoon daily. Also, take Giloy ( Tinospora Cordifolia- mother tincture, Homeopathic medicine ). Take 2-3 drops in a glass of water, twice a day. It is good for reducing the High Blood Pressure readings. Write back for further assistance.

I don't have any symptomps except some weight loss. Hetologist Dr suggested to follow phlebotomy with 400 ml and asked to wait for 1 month. Is there any way to lower this count naturally. I am non smoker and non alcoholic and not living at high altitude. Please guide if it can be cured and does not reappear.

I have diagnosed Polycythemia JAK 2 positive 5 years ago. My HB was high and Hematocrit was 52. Hematologists advises for phlebotomy for some time and then my hematocrit came down below 45. It has been controlled and whenever it goes up I did Phelabotomy once in 6 months. I used to take one Aspirin. Since one year the hematocrit are below 45 but my platelets start increasing and it reached to 1million and then Heamotologist asked me to start taking two Aspirin daily and last month when I did CBC my platelets down little bit and now it is 936. My Ferritin level is very low around 6.
Please advise me any remedy to decrease my platelets.
