Turning the Tide on ITP: A Young Patient's Journey to Recovery
In December 2022, a 20-year-old patient was hospitalized with Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), a condition where the immune system attacks and destroys the body’s platelets. The patient experienced severe symptoms including blood in the vomit, bleeding gums, and blood in the stool. The patient’s medical tests showed critically low platelet counts at 4, hemoglobin levels at 3, and potassium levels at 4, putting the patient’s life at risk. Despite the administration of multiple medications, the lack of available blood donors nearly led to a tragic outcome.
By June 11, 2023, the patient’s condition necessitated another emergency visit to the Cagayan de Oro Provincial Hospital. The situation was dire, with platelet counts remaining at 4 and hemoglobin slightly improved to 3.5. Although the doctor confirmed the need for a blood transfusion, it was not available from the Red Cross. Despite this, the patient continued to suffer from bleeding in the gums and urine after leaving the hospital. The Hematologist Specialist reported that despite administering all possible treatments, none have been successful, and the patient is now using a catheter.
During this difficult period, Precila Tancinco recommended Diva Secret Stem Cell to the patient’s mother. Out of desperation for a solution, the patient quickly bought a box of the product. A follow-up check-up was arranged for July 5, in anticipation of a second follow-up on July 30.
Starting July 5, the patient took Diva Secret Stem Cell daily. Remarkably, by July 19, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test revealed a significant increase in platelet count from 4 to 24, following the consumption of one box of the product. Furthermore, the patient no longer experienced bleeding in the gums or stool. Encouraged by this improvement, the decision was made to continue using Diva Secret Stem Cell to maintain the patient’s health.
This video aims to share the patient’s harrowing journey with ITP and the surprising improvement after using Diva Secret Stem Cell, offering hope to others facing similar health challenges.
ITP stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. It’s a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding, resulting from unusually low levels of platelets in the blood. Platelets are small blood cells that play a crucial role in blood clotting, and having too few can lead to bleeding and bruising more easily than normal.
“Idiopathic” means the exact cause of the condition is unknown. In ITP, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets. It’s thought to be an autoimmune disorder, and while the triggers for this autoimmune response are not entirely understood, it can sometimes follow a viral infection or occur alongside other immune system disorders.
Symptoms of ITP include:
– Easy or excessive bruising
– Superficial bleeding into the skin that appears as a rash of pinpoint-sized reddish-purple spots (petechiae), usually on the lower legs
– Prolonged bleeding from cuts
– Bleeding from the gums or nose
– Blood in urine or stools
– Unusually heavy menstrual flow in women
Treatment for ITP varies depending on the severity of the condition and the symptoms presented. In mild cases, treatment may not be necessary. In more severe cases, treatments may include corticosteroids to decrease the immune system’s attack on platelets, immunoglobulins (to boost the body’s platelet count quickly), and medications that stimulate the bone marrow to produce more platelets. In some cases, if these treatments are not effective, removing the spleen (splenectomy) might be considered, as the spleen plays a role in the destruction of platelets.
