RESEARCH BASED NATURAL PRODUCTS..A SUCCESFUL STORY

I really feel I need to share our story with other parents so you my have a succeful story as we so far are experiencing now...

We began this journey in April last year, when my 12 yrs old daughter was diagnosed with ITP. She was put on prednisone during the summer. This medication worked well on her, but it took several months for her to get her platelets count at normal levels, but once she did not take them anymore, her platelets count went down again.

At the end of december my daughter started showing purple dots & bruises again but the doctors´appointment was not due yet. So, I began searching about natural treatments on internet. I found information about two important products that can be used: omniplus & Achillea millefolium.

Her platelet´s level was 17.000. So, in early january we asked the doctor about omniplus (Omnilife), and she recommended us to use it, because eventhough she can´t prescribe it to us, she has observed some patients responded well to it.. that same day my daughter was on medication (prednisone) and omniplus, which actually reduces all the secondary effects that the medication causes. Two weeks later her platelets were 278.000, so the doctor asked us to progresively take her off the medication...two weeks after her platelet count was 273000 and she keeps taking omniplus every day and she feels so good, happy & grateful about the decisions we had made. I will never even consider my daughter getting a splenectomy done.

At the place that I bought it the firts time, the seller told me that her daughter had ITP 4 yrs ago. She gave her omniplus for two months and it was enough for her to recover. Since then, she has been healthy.

I have not tried the other product, the plant called Achillea Millefolium that I believe you can find in the US as a tea beverage. It has research that supports it´s effectiveness by experiments made by a Mexican doctor, you can download the article here (in spanish) scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?pid=s0864-03002...p;script=sci_arttext

I actually shared this article to my daughter´s doctor.

more info about Achillea millefolium can be found at:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achillea_millefolium

I hope this info will help your children too.

Good Luck!!!

Begis lives in Colombia. The Omniplus product is simply an expensive multi vitamin product.

Yes, I thought it looked like a multi-vitamin too. If there is anything else special about it, maybe the original poster can tell us more.

Ann,

The fact that I live in Colombia has nothing to do with ITP, which does not care about geographic borders or etnicity...anything of that changes this: OMNIPLUS really works..that actually my daughter´s doctor approved to give it to her ...and now we can say she has a normal platelet count. That´s my testimony.

I would not matter to share this info if I would have not known about its benefits.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Actually, It happens that I live in Colombia after I came back from US where I got my PhD at LSU...

Erica,

This is the product (OMNIPLUS) description & benefits:
This product was created thanks to the collaboration of a group of specialists. It has concentrated more than 18 years of proven success around the world in its formulation contains herbal components, minerals and fat soluble micelized vitamins. This technique allows better absorption of Omni Plus at the cells thanks to its fat-soluble vitamins, which means that its benefits are received faster. Among the many benefits of Omni Plus, deserves special attention "strengthening the immune system."

Some of the herbal components of Omni Plus can be mentioned echinacea and spirulina. In addition, a wide range of vitamins and minerals necessary for the proper functioning of most body systems.

Some of the mineral components of Omni Plus

- Maintenance of nerves, skin and hair.

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid. Water-soluble vitamin.

- Required for optimal immune system function.
- It is essential for the formation of collagen (a protein necessary for the skin, tendons, cartilage and ligaments healthy).
- Helps reduce the risk of scurvy.

Vitamin E (tocopherol). Fat-soluble vitamin. As it becomes more difficult liposoluble absorption but this is facilitated when micellized is (as in the case of Omni Plus).
- Effective antioxidant, which protects the body from the formation of toxic molecules resulting from daily activities of the body and the contaminants to which it is exposed.
- Inhibits the autoxidation of lipids.

Beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a substance from plants that the body converts to vitamin A.
- Acts as an antioxidant and is necessary in the immune system.
- Participates in the synthesis of certain glycoproteins and its deficiency can cause abnormal bone development, disorders of the reproductive system, xerophthalmia (dry persistent conjunctival and corneal opacity), among others.

This is the web where you can get info & buy the product:

www.omnilife.com/index_regional.php?region=usa&idioma=EN#

So, it´s basically vitamins & minerals that comes in individual liquid packs with the right dosis with dispersed (micelized) microscopic particles that get easily absorbeb by cells. Maria dissolves it in a cup of water once a day.


Hope this info helps you!!:P

Of course not but it would explain why the sites that someone else visited were in Spanish.
