What could be more fun than helping a person suffering from a certain disease like Hemophilia? This is a question that has many in a jiffy and I am one of them. My passion for this particular cause stems from my love of children who are born with the disease. I was very interested to learn about Hemophilia when I stumbled upon an organization called “Hemophilia Areata,” (heredity) and researched more about it.

Hemophilia is a blood disorder that affects the blood vessels, which in turn affects the flow of blood and thus the ability of the red blood cells to clot. There are three types of this disorder; A, B, and C. (Effective donate, Effective donor). There is also a sub-type called “Coal White Blood.” The “A” category contains things like hemophilia A, hemophilia B, and C and can range from not sufficient, to adequate to very poor. In hemophilia A there is a deficiency of the enzyme, CoQ10, that is important to keep the arteries from clotting.
When the blood cells of those with hemophilia are not sufficiently or unable to clot bleeding occurs. The most common blood cells affected in this situation are the platelets. If these blood cells are not able to clot then they will clump together and become what we call “plaque.” This will prevent the flow of blood and stopping life from continuing.

Since there is no cure for hemophilia A, it is important to find ways to prevent and lessen the impact to our children. As I mentioned earlier, preventing the CoQ10 from being deficient is one way to do that. One of the ways that pedigreed children can receive extra help with the treatment of hemophilia, is if they have a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of CoQ10 deficient individuals.
Pedigreed children will also benefit if their parents have had and successfully completed the “marrow cell factor treatment” (or the Blue Blood Cells Treatment). This is another important factor in determining if a child will grow up with hemophilia. Parents and grandparents who have completed this program are considered to be “qualifying” to care for hemophilia babies and children. This is especially true since the marrow cell factor can only be successfully completed and cared for by those who have undergone this program.

I would like to share something with you. Just because your parents and grandparents did not experience hemophilia, does not mean that they did not suffer from it. It could very well be that the symptoms occurred in their lives and they did not know what to do. However, the fact is that they still could have done something about it. Do not let that prevent you from looking inside yourself to determine what you need to do.
Next on the Pedig Heritage Worksheet 3 is called “Daddy’s Child Plagues.” The worksheet explains that there is a correlation between conditions such as cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anemia, and hemophilia. It also explains how these conditions are linked to the presence of specific plaques within the child’s brain. If you have a father or a mother with sickle-cell anemia, you are considered to be at risk for developing hemophilia. If you do not have one of these plaques present in your brain, you are not considered to be at risk.

Finally on the Pedig Heritage Worksheet 3 is called “Royal Condition.” You will learn that there is a strong genetic link between the two conditions. The information also tells you that there are several treatments available to control the genetic problem but they cannot work on the plaque that has already formed in the child’s blood cells. Once, this plaque forms in the blood cell it will keep growing until it ruptures and causes a bleeding condition.
