Product Description
This book is the story of an inherited blood disease -- Cooley s anemia or beta thalassemia. Cooley s anemia is a severe and potentially fatal anemia that affects millions of people worldwide. Written by a world-recognized expert on the disease who has contributed greatly to the scientific understanding of the pathophysiology of this human hemoglobin disorder, the book describes the emotional and medical impact of the disease on patients and their families. It also summarizes the research on the disease at the level of the genes, DNA, RNA, and proteins. In addition, it also includes chapters on current therapy and future approaches to the disease, such as gene therapy, stem cell transplantation, and antenatal diagnosis.

A multidisciplinary book covering the fields of hematology, pediatrics, medicine, genetics, and molecular biology, the book details how Cooley s anemia serves as a model for understanding other human genetic and acquired diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, and heart disease. It also provides new insights which may lead to new therapies.

Fascinating
So I got Super Cell Anemia last night (after having to order it to the book store).It's really quite excellent so far -I've read through about 130 pages. The author splits the book into 2 main sections of storytelling. First is through the normal pacing, which always starts with a journal entry, and then continues after the italicized text into present tense. The other type of chapters begin with specific places, (like apartment rooms, a mansion, etc.) because the main character of the story has obsessive compulsive problems (he's always aware of sounds and investigates them) so he somewhat stalks on what people are doing.

It's really interesting so far and the author, Duncan B. Barlow, uses a quirky, almost naive way of explaining things.

The story touches on themes like sex, religion, paranoia, and motherhood. And then off of motherhood, rebellion I guess. An exotic dancer the main character likes, Charlie, had a mother that tortured her into learning ballet perfectly. Then as she grew up, she stopped dancing, but then started again, only now impurifying the ballet with many other different styles of dancing (leading to her exotic dancing). That was her form of revenge against her mother. But he's afraid to have sex or any form of relationship with her because he's obsessed with staying free of germs, haha.

As for the plot, the main character, Gilles, is electric and moved to Ohio so he could be investigated by Dr. Moore.The doctor gave him copper strips so he could relieve the electric currents through his limbs.And he's also been noticing sounds outside of his window at night to discover a mutant cat man, wearing a tuxedo, staring at him.Among other problems, he's also trying to date an exotic dancer.

It's odd (and unnerving/unsettling as the story progresses), but really fun and thoughtful as well.I highly recommend it.Excellent.I hope that Barlow writes more after this. ... Read more

Healthy children are happy children. When a home is a healthy child, the parents are happier because the child plays and learns things every day, is a hyperkinetic and intelligent child the joy of being home. Having a healthy child should be as common in the vast majority of families that are formed. A large majority of children born are healthy and therefore happy. Continue healthy if their mothers breastfeed their children until age two complementing it with organic food.

There is a small percentage of sick children, either because they were born so or because they acquired a disease from infection (bronchitis, asthma) or a virus (flu) or a poor diet (allergies). When a child is sick there is sadness in the house, the child is still in bed, not playing with friends, cry for anything, it becomes capricious as some mothers to give presents unnecessary calm, the whole family is taking care child because it is a major concern and the time lost in this disease is one time the child stops learning new things and ultimately not smiling.

There is a myriad of diseases that have children; some are common as the flu. There is a saying that has more than 50 years: "The flu in the doctor heals in 7 days without medical assistance is cured in a week." We tell them that the flu if it can be cured with natural methods and economic, with home remedies found in the kitchen, but only if done the first day of treatment, to take a drop of onion (swab) in each nostril of the child, but it burns heal immediately. You can only use this treatment when the flu has just begun and only if condition in the nose filled with mucus.
