 Testimonies
As you know, I have been taking Blood Well and Restore-Immune
for approx. 3 months. My last platelet count was 215K.
Let us pray that it remains at those levels. I certainly
do thank you for the help I am getting.
Respectfully - Paul Hurt
I had a blood test today because I was wondering where
I was...it's hard going a month without knowing. My
platelets are at 675,000. My red count was 4.4, and
my white was 3.61. I can't tell you how grateful I am
to you and the herbs! I have had a few people call and
e-mail me about your herbal treatment...I pray they
will have some of my success. Thanks again. - Grant
My name is Robert. I e-mailed you in October last year.
At the time, I informed you that my platelet count which
was 49,000 had risen to 70,000 after only 11 days on
your Blood-Well tablets. I have been taking the tablets
for 3 more months, and my platelet count is now 90,000...the
highest count in the last 2 years. Needless to say,
both my physician and I were thrilled. Thank you for
your continued help.

With
all your help, I am doing much better. I just got done
with my bone marrow biopsy and it was found normal. My
doctor says I am doing great with my platelet counts around
90's and 100's without Prednisone and only your herbs.
Thank you for all your support. - Kimmi Hnath
When I was 15, my platelets were about 30,000 and I was
bruising all the time. After doing Prednisone and IVGG's,
I was a little better, but kept bruising. After 6 months
on your herbs, my platelets began to increase. After a
year, my platelets were 250,000 and I have remained at
that amount since then. It has been 4 years since taking
the herbs and I am so glad. Thank you so much. - Sylvia

I was 22 when they found my platelet count was down. They
were at 128,000 to 99,000 which produced no physical effects.
By October 1998 they were at 9,000 only to drop to 1,000
in the 5 days I was hospitalized. They started prednisone,
some other steroid, IVIG infusion twice and finally the
rhogam injection that brought to a "safe" 22,000.
I was convinced a spleenectomy was the only solution.
One month later after the spleenectomy, I was up to 200,000.
Two weeks later it started to drop again. I started to
drink herbal tea to cope with the prednisone side effects.
I was drinking about 11 cups of tea a day. The prednisone
kept the platelets up but when I tried to decrease the
dosage my platelets went with it. Finally, my only choice
was chemotherapy or experimental procedures. My platelets
increased by 10,000 even after weaning myself from the
prednisone. May '99 - my platelets were 70,000. The last
prednisone was June 2. Now on July 1999 my platelets are
258,000. - Leonor Aguirre
I’ve taken the herbs one full year and off last
October. Last my CBC checked with 238K and now I’m
on Ester C and other vitamins. I feel great these days
and work out every day. - Kim
I
have been with the herbal formulas since December 20th
2001. I was on prednisone and had just finished IVIG when
I started them. No movement of the plates with either
drug. At the time my platelets would not go above 3K with
only bruising and a few small blood blisters. Anyways
off prednisone on January 7th and my platelets have been
hovering around 140K and were up last week to 196K. GW’s
products are the only thing I am taking other than the
usual Vit C, B, etc. So I’ve had good results. -

In September 1999 I went for a checkup at Kaiser Permanente.
My physician noticed many bruises. (I was aware of many
bruises in the previous six months but I did not consider
them serious enough to consult a physician.) She suggested
I get a complete blood count (CBC) that afternoon. The
following morning a hematologist called to arrange hospitalization
due to a low blood platelet count (8K). I received IVIg
and Prednisone (60 mg) for three days and returned home
with 120K platelet count. I continued the Prednisone (60
mg) and tolerated CBC’s weekly. A week later my
count was 190K; the following week it dropped to 97K.
My count fluctuated over a wide range, but generally up,
as I tried Danazol; unfortunately my liver objected to
it, so I had to stop taking the medication.
Apparently due to the high dose of Prednisone I continued
to take I developed a serious osteoporosis condition.
To try to rectify the osteoporosis I tapered off the high
dose of Prednisone. I did considerable research to learn
more about ITP. I carefully read ITP: A Practical Guideline
for the American Society of Hematology as I looked for
other options. I tried one of the many possible treatments
discussed there: ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It seemed
to help for about three months as my platelets increased
remarkably, then the platelets slowly declined as I continued
to taper off of Prednisone. Soon my hematologist recommended
a splenectomy. I continued to seek an alternative to that
classic therapy. Finally, I searched until I found ITP
People on the Internet. This was most helpful in learning
about the disorder. I read the short stories and focused
on Leonor’s Cure who had success with GW’s
herbal products.
Eventually I contacted GW, in San Jose. I was very impressed
by their ITP experience and decided to try the herbs.
I first tried the capsules, while still tapering off of
Prednisone. My platelet count dropped regularly as I reduced
Prednisone; my hematologist became increasingly concerned
and reminded me of the splenectomy option. So, after several
weeks of IVIg treatments and even a dose of Vincristine
(chemotherapy), I had resigned my self to surgery. My
Dr. said there would be no side effects with the Vincristine,
however, I had experienced extreme head pain for three
days and numb fingers for several months. For approximately
12 months I took the herbs twice daily, before meals.
At the start of taking the herbs, my platelet count dropped
from 81K to 8K over several months and gradually increased
2K for the next couple months, subsequently 13-21K and
the past two months my platelets leaped by 126K. I experienced
no side effects. This was a great relief considering the
many side effects of glucocorticoids I experienced in
the traditional medications and treatments. -Beverly,

Three years ago, I was diagnosed with Idiopathic
Thrombocytopenia Purpura. I was put on 80 mg of prednisone,
which very slowly brought my counts up. It took me six
weeks on prednisone to get up to 90K platelets, a safe
but not yet normal level. The side effects of the prednisone
were horrible. After a few months, I relapsed and had
to go back on the prednisone. It was up and down with
the prednisone for over a year. Then I started herbs.
After three weeks on the herbs, my counts again dropped
and I went back on the prednisone. However, this time,
my counts shot up to 145K platelets after only three days
on prednisone, so my hematologists, to my surprise, told
me to stop taking it. Now with the herbs, my counts just
kept getting higher and higher. I’ve been fine for
a year and a half with only the herbs and a stress relieving
Chinese moving meditation. I think the meditation and
the herbs work together. If I start to get symptoms of
low counts, I just double up on the herbs, and my bruises
disappear. I’ve been taking them for over a year
now, and will probably continue because I know they work
incredibly well for me. I’d take them for the rest
of my life if I had to, because there are no side effects.

We
received your ITP pack on January 18th and started our
son immediately on them. He
was already taking Noni, 1000 mg per day, Vitamin C,
calcium and multi-vitamins. He has not taken any prednisone
since October 1st. (264K) On December 10th (24K), December
23rd (started Noni, Vit. C and Multi.) January 9th (11K)
and January 17 (13K).
Today
January 27th and his platelet count is (104K). Have
you ever had this quick a result before? We have also
cleaned up his diet.
He
did have a cough and cold (viral only, no meds, January
19th-26th) of which he is 90% recovered.

In
1985 I had fallen off a ladder and found myself in the
hospital. At that time I was diagnosed with ITP with platelet
counts at 53K and was put on Prednisone. Even though I
was put on prednisone throughout the years from 1985 to
1999 … my platelets went up and down … ranging
from 2K to 126K.
Remained on prednisone, was given pneurmacockal immunization.
In 1997 my doctor convinced me to have my spleen taken
out. My platelets went up to 126K after surgery. In 1998
my platelets were down to 8K. They tested to see if my
spleen grew back – it did not. The doctor then wanted
to give me chemo. I
went to visit a specialist in Portland, Oregon. The
doctor found out that my counts were really low, but
my platelets are healthy ones; however, I had a lot
of pitichia inside my mouth.
In January 2001, I needed knee surgery. Doctor didn’t
know what ITP was … but he would not operate until
my platelets would come up and the Oncologist would
O.K. surgery. Took mega dose of dexamethoazone and my
platelets went to 24K; however my petichia came back
with a vengence. I had my knee surgery April 25th, 2001.
I was continuously investigating … I found a company
by the name of GW and began using their herbal formula
called Restore Immune II. By October 2001 my platelets
went up to 21K and by January 2002 they had gone to
31K.
When I bump myself now, I do not bruise. My capillaries
are stronger; if I would scratch myself before it would
last for weeks … I now heal quickly. Presently
I am very active on my farm and feel great! -- Michael

We did a finger prick CBC for our son last Saturday
and his platelet count is 258K. We are very pleased
with the result. We’ll be doing the next count
in 3-months time. Thank you. - Y.Z.
I
started taking the herbs for my ITP about a year and a
half ago. My platelets were about 20K and I had horrible
bruising all over my body. My doctor said prednisone has
only helped 20% of people with ITP and my spleen, which
was healthy, only gave me a 50% chance of help if I had
it removed. I
was lucky to find GW and started their herbs. In about
90 days my platelets started going up and my bruising
diminished. I am now at 131K and feel well and have
no symptoms. My doctor is amazed at my numbers. I even
had surgery in September without fear because all my
numbers were in order.
I
would recommend those with ITP try the herbs because
they do not have the side effects of the drugs and in
my case have been very successful.
- Mary T., CA
I
have severe ITP and have undergone years of treatment
and finally had a spleenectomy. My platelets were at 29K
three weeks ago. I found your information under ITP clinical
trials and ordered the ITP combo. Today my platelets are
185K. Thank you. - R.F., AZ
I am 76 and have been ordering your ITP herbal formula
since April 2002. Last May 1st I began taking your formulas.
My hematologist was skeptical but approved. I had taken
every conceivable treatment (three chemotherapies, etc.)
and my platelets were still at 5K. We were all extremely
worried.
Over the next seven months my count slowly progressed
as per the following: 5k, 8K, 16K, 22K, 31K and then,
dramatically the end of November to 91K.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be back to normal,
you have a customer for life. My Dr. is also very pleased
and excited. He has suggested your ITP combo pack to another
patient who he can’t help. Thanks to you this is
a very merry Christmas for our family.
