Note on case histories: Please note that since writing down case histories is very time consuming, sometimes, I will just, initially, post here a snapshot of the case. The snapshot will show the platelet readings and major text testimonies given by the patient's representative when the patient has fully recovered. Once I have more time, I will add more details. Remember, over the last few years there are close to 100 case histories, and I never had the time to write them down. With this blog I hope to upload them. Remember, these cases are linked to one another due to a referral system. It is somebody personally referring to a new patient.

Notes on accuracy of readings: Platelet counts, and the times they were taken, are based on the reports or texts from the patient's relatives. The actual time taken and exact figure could be mere approximations. For example, a count taken at 7 pm could have been actually taken at 6 pm. A count of 30, could have been 29 but rounded off either by the patient's relatives or the doctors.

Case History

Patient, 44, male. This is a case where the patient went against the suggestion of the doctor for confinement in the hospital, and instead opted to be an outpatient, and relied solely on the ADSX Solution to manage his dengue.

One day, while on a business field work,  the patient felt so weak he could not drive. He rested for a while.

The next day, his platelet count (CBC) was only 73k, about 2:45 pm on Oct 29, 2012.

His doctor advised him to be confined in a hospital.

Having heard of the ADSX Solution from his business contacts, he called one of his friends. His friend, who is an ABS-CBN radio anchor, suggested that to save costs, the patient would not go to the hospital and instead rely on the ADSX Solution.

Subsequently, the patient contacted us. Since it takes about 3 to 4 hours to make the ADSX, upon request, we scheduled a meeting at around 9 pm that day on Oct 29.

The first thing we did was to advise the patient not take any apple tonic or apple fruits.

During our meeting, we discussed the previous cases, and the implications of going and not going to the hospital.

The patient made an economic decision.

If he checks-in to a hospital he will be required to pay a deposit of around P10,000. And remember, according to the doctors themselves, there is no cure for dengue, so what would the patient be doing in the hospital?

A dengue case costs from P14T to P60T without transfusion, and P80T to P120T with transfusion. Remember, money and medical expertise still resulted in dengue deaths.

The patient decided to be an outpatient. His costs would be only the preparation of the ADSX Solution and the cost of CBC platelet test that costs only P135 per testing. So he will only spend P135 for testing, one testing per day.

The patient drank the first bottle that night.

The next day, Oct 30, he was doing his ordinary business. Overnight, he said he felt better, his appetite increased. Except for some minor joint pains remnants of the previous day's weakness, he was positive and upbeat.

Had he been confined in a hospital, that day, he would have had a "dextrose" and some paracetamol, and pesos being charged like a taxi meter.

And in the hospital, without ADSX, his platelet would have done down from 73K to 30K overnight.

Yet, because he chose to take the ADSX solution, he saved himself thousands of pesos, did his day to day business, and spent only P135 for CBC testing.

Because he was busy, he was not able to have himself test for the CBC, the next day, Oct 30.

The next day after that, on Oct 31 at about 9 am, he submitted himself for a CBC.

His total platelet count was 84K already. A complete reversal of the downward trend. He is now on an upward trend of 84K.

At his level, compared to other hospital cases, the patient is usually discharged from the hospital.

Total cost: The preparation cost of the ADSX Solution + P135 for CBC testing.

Compare with about P50T for a private hospital treatment for dengue without transfusion.

Or worse, remember the rich Chinese-Filipino nurse who died just two weeks before (Oct 14) of dengue, despite transfusion.

MNB is an economically and medically smart patient.

Just like some parents who had first hand experience of how ADSX works, and the next time around, no longer send their children to the hospital, and instead rely on ADSX and outpatient CBC testing for monitoring.

(We don't have time yet to fully write the case history here but look the the charts for each case history.)

This illustrates that indeed ADSX is really effective. There is cause-and-effect. Whenever the patient is left to the care of the doctors, it almost always happens that there is a rapid drop in the platelet count, for example from 200 to 50.

But whenever, the ADSX Solution is used as intervention that early, then the platelet drop is immediately arrested to a level and then oscillates around that level and never drops to say 40k or 20k.

Is this cause-and-effect? Is this mere coincidence?

(We don't have time yet to fully write the case history here but look the the charts for each case history. Does this predictable pattern show the effects of a "cure?" Please come back for updates.)
