It was incredible the results of this case of thrombocytopenic purpura and also Mrs Maura's case was incredible, she nearly had her leg amputated, but the auto-hemotherapy saved her leg. She can hire out horses now simply because she had auto-hemotherapy, otherwise she would not do it at all, because she could not work with just one leg. She was going to have an amputation at thigh height. The auto-hemotherapy in the case of thrombocytopenic purpura happened like this: There was lady who had a young son about 1 year old and her gums started to bleed, even bleeding through her ear, an otorrhagia. So when the doctor in Visconde de Maua realised that she could die there and then, he sent her to city of Resende. There, she was referred to a hematologist, in the city of Volta Redonda, who found out she only had 10,000 platelets, whilst the normal range is 200,000 to 400,000 platelets. Then the treatment began with high doses of cortisone, 100 milligrams of Meticorten a day, a huge dose! In fact, the hemorrhages disappeared, the platelets increased to 150,000 and thus she spent 6 months on cortisone, Meticorten. At the end of 6 months the cortisone didn't work anymore, but the cortisone had made her swell up. I wouldn't say she put on weight, but swelled up by 40 kilos, so it didn't work well anymore. Because it ceased to work, he replaced the cortisone, and platelets dropped down to a minimum again. He then replaced the cortisone by two medicines used in chemotherapy for cancer, Endoxan and Metroxathe. Then the platelets increased again and returned to normal, for two months and at the end of two months they also stopped working, then the doctor referred her to a surgeon who was going to remove her spleen because the platelets are killed in the spleen. For some reason that medicine doesn't yet know, the platelets are not recognised as their own and the spleen kills these platelets when they are just a day old, when they should live for 5 days. and as result, the bone marrow has no capacity to replace these platelets, which are killed in the spleen at a very young age. Then the solution found was the only solution, to do a splenectomy, remove the spleen, but as a young woman in her early 20s, with a one and half year old son, she wanted to know what hope there was for her, whether there was a cure or not for sure. The surgeon was very honest and told her: 'There will be a cure only if the liver replaces the function of the spleen, otherwise you won't have a life worth living and won't live for very long.' So she decided not to have splenectomy and returned to Visconde de Maua. I told her to have auto-hemotherapy and at the end of six months she was cured. and she still cured until today. After that she had two more children, and with her spleen. She didn't have to have a splenectomy, remove her spleen, so this was something amazing.
