Women & Children with ITP

Can Children with ITP Take These Products?

Yes. The Medical Doctors and Master Herbalists that developed these formulas have successfully applied them to both children and adults with ITP. Since their goal with these formulas was to offer the body maximum support for a healthy immune system, platelet function and proper detoxification, they believe it to be an ideal herbal combination for children, who are at risk of ITP. They also designed a powder version (ITP Special) for those who have problems swallowing tablets or capsules.*

Additional information on Children with ITP:

In children, ITP is often preceded by a viral infection. Just like a virus, it usually resolves without any treatment. The virus may be contagious, but ITP is not. While one child with a virus may develop ITP, another with the same virus may not. ITP is a condition where the child's antibodies attach to his or her platelets, and then their body destroys them. This can reduce the platelet count to a point where blood clotting is compromised and spontaneous bleeding may erupt.*

In addition to a viral infection, other causes for ITP in children include reactions to medication, infections, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Epstein-Barr, or HIV. In some cases, infants can be born with ITP if the mother had ITP during the pregnancy. These cases usually go away quite quickly. However, it is important to know the source of the ITP in children so that the underlying cause may be treated if indicated.*

Our product developers believed, from their personal practice experience, that good diet, stress reduction, detoxification and nutritional support for the immune system was crucial for a child to lead a normal life. While ITP is active, the child's platelet count will need to be monitored. It should stay above 30,000 with no active bleeding for the body to be able to return to normal functioning. Also, the spleen and liver play a vital role in whether the platelets are removed or left, so focusing on the health of these organs and body is critical.*

What about Women who are Pregnant or Lactating?

The Medical Doctors and Master Herbalists that developed the herbal formulas contained in Blood Well and Restore Immune II feel 100% confident that these herbal formulas would be safe to take for their pregnant or lactating patients in Vietnam and Russia. But, as per our policy, our company can not recommend that any dietary supplement is safe or should be used by any woman who is pregnant or lactating since only your primary doctor can make that recommendation in the United States.*

Since there are so many different situations for each person, it is impossible to broadly state that any supplement is safe for all women in those situations. We recommend that if you are interested in taking our herbal dietary supplements while lactating or pregnant, that you consult with your primary care physician or simply wait until you give birth and stop lactating and then start the products.*
