Hi Cali,

As "grist for your mill," are you aware of the almost miraculous results many tens (hundreds?) of THOUSANDS of people have experienced, dealing with MOST of the health issues known to humankind, from ingesting the powerful antioxidant, ascorbic acid?

If you are seriously interested in finding a solution to your health problem(s), and gaining better health in ALL areas of your body, I STRONGLY encourage you to read [at least the first ten paragraphs of] this article written by Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D. [link removed by Uny}

It may just solve some or all of your problem(s). You have only better health and well-being to gain by applying its recommendation. What have you got to lose?

These two quotes are instructive:

"There are more than ten thousand scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on inside cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced - directly or indirectly - by vitamin C." -- Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., Dr. Marshall Ringsdorf, D.M.D., and Dr. Emily Sisley, THE VITAMIN C CONNECTION.

“I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.” -- Dr. Frederick Klenner, M.D.

I wish you BEST success, Cali, in your search for a solution to your health issue(s)!

Sincerely,

David

Everything can be fixed!

That area sounds like the spleen - and an enlarged spleen will cause discomfort similar to what you're reporting. A lowered platelet count is known as thrombocytopenia, and an enlarged spleen can lower the platelet count.

The spleen is basically a large lymph node that helps to fight infection & remove unwanted debris from the bloodstream. If the spleen enlarges (there are several possible reasons for a spleen to enlarge) it 'accidentally' captures too many platelets for removal.

Why would a spleen enlarge? Well, any organ will enlarge if it's congested - so the first step would be to ensure adequate circulation & lymphatic flow.

-- infections of all types (and parasitical infections) can cause the spleen to enlarge
-- other typical causes are trauma, inflammatory disease, cysts, lymphoma & leukemia.

There are other symptoms when the spleen is enlarged -
--inability to eat large quantities of food
--unexplained weight loss
--frequent infections
--tiredness & fatigue
--jaundice

Apparently (no surprise here) there is a strong connection between the liver & spleen. Choleostasis (a lack of bile flow) is known to cause the spleen to enlarge:
>>>Symptoms of cholestasis may include the following: jaundice, dark urine, pale stool, easy bleeding, itching, small, spider-like blood vessels visible in the skin, an enlarged spleen, fluid in the abdominal cavity, chills and abdominal pain.<<<

Since you know of the connection between liver issues & glaucoma, I'm thinking you've already finished a series of Liver Flushes are are into the 'maintenance zone'...but if you haven't, now would be the time to get 'er done!

Suggestions for lymph circulation & cleansing: the best herbal formula is the Blood Detox tincture - it is EXECELLENT for assisting lymphatic flow *and* for fighting infections. Dry sking brushing and rebounding are the two most common therapies. Castor oil packs are also excellent.

Healthiest of blessings,

Uny

Was it your spleen?

How did it get resolved?

We have some similar medical history, I see from your old posts.

I have similar symptoms and have been told to visit the ER for imaging but would like to avoid radiation.
