About Hemophilia...

Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. Persons with hemophilia are missing or have a low level of a protein needed for normal blood clotting. About 18,000 people in the United States are known to have hemophilia. Hemophilia usually only occurs in males, except for rare exceptions. A person with severe hemophilia means that they have less than one percent clotting factor in their system.

Longer Life Span

I read in a medical magazine recently that the hemophilia lifespan is now close to the normal average.
It really made my day because thirty-one years ago when my son, Dwight, was born the lifespan for those with hemophilia was only in the late thirties to early forties.  What amazing news!

Even though Dwight's ankles are very painful when walking from so many internal bleeds as he was growing up and he is needing surgery to fuse them both- one ankle Dwight is walking bone on bone- yet overall compared to my father and the previous generation Dwight is doing great health wise. We have so much to be thankful for.

Although Dwight has had to slow down a lot in the last six months it has enabled his creative side to come to the forefront giving him something to be proud of- beside housework :)  Here are a couple samples of his craftsmanship that Dwight personalizes and sells:

  1. As a sign of gratitude for how my husband was saved from hemophilia, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
    My husband suffered hemophilia and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and he left the contact of the doctor who had the herbal cure to hemophilia . I never imagined hemophilia has a cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my husband will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my husband used it and in one months he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.hemophilia has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get the medication. Thanks for reading my testimony.
