	Tresorie - ANAEMIA AND PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA [Anaemia]
		[Both anaemia and pernicious anaemia are currently treated with large daily quantities of liver and liver extracts.
		Personal experiments and observations in cases of pernicious anaemia have shown that liver diet by no means represents the remedy for pernicious anaemia.
		Unprejudiced observations will show that the nature of pernicious anaemia does not render at all possible an influence of liver diet on the disease picture and on the course of the disease".

	Pernicious anemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The treatment for pernicious anemia was first devised by William Murphy who bled dogs to make them anemic and then fed them various substances to see what (if anything) would make them healthy again.
		As a result, pernicious anemia is now treated with either vitamin B12 injections (hydroxocobalamin or cyanocobalamin), or large oral doses of vitamin B12, typically between 2 and 4 mg daily.
		Pernicious anemia may cause inflammation of the tongue (glossitis).

		The key factors of pernicious anaemia are megaloblastic anaemia (the release into the circulation of large, fragile, immature, malformed erythrocytes (megaloblasts)), and neurological degeneration.
		The neurological abnormalities are due to progressive damage to the spinal cord and/or peripheral nerves because of an impairment in the methylation reactions of methionine and an inability to synthesise methionine, leading to a defect in myelination.

	Anaemia
		The various types of anaemia are classified according to decreased or defective production of red cells by the bone marrow, or because of decreased survival of the red cells in the blood.
		In haemolytic anaemia red blood cells are destroyed more quickly than they are replaced; this happens if they have been damaged by drugs, have not been manufactured properly, contain abnormal haemoglobin (as in sickle cell anaemia and thalassaemia), or are mistaken for foreign cells and destroyed by antibodies (as in rhesus incompatibility, Autoimmune disease).
		Result is anaemia, low resistance to infection, and spontaneous bruising or bleeding; in severe cases, infection or bleeding may be fatal within a year of onset.

		Abstract: Of 160 patients with pernicious anaemia, none had current duodenal ulceration, whereas in a random population of similar age and sex distribution some 5% would be expected to have a duodenal ulcer.
		The decreased prevalance of duodenal ulcer in pernicious anaemia patients implies that pernicious anaemia must be less prevalent in duodenal ulcer patients than in a random population; but it appears that this cannot be attributed to an absence of gastric autoimmunity in patients with duodenal ulcer.
