What is Fibrosis?
Fibrosis is scar tissue. “…Most doctors learn in anatomy that it is fibrosis that eventually kills us all. Let me explain. As we age, which starts at 27, we have a diminishing of the body’s output of enzymes. The result is the repair mechanism of the body goes off balance and has nothing to reduce the overall abundance of fibrin it deposits in nearly everything from simple cuts, to the inside of our internal organs and blood vessels. It is then when most women begin to develop things like fibrocystic breast disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and we all grow arterial sclerotic (meaning scar tissue) plaque, and have fibrin begin to spider web its way inside of our internal organs reducing their size and function over time. If we replace the lost enzymes we can control and reduce the amount of scar tissue and fibrosis our bodies have.” — Dr William Wong N.D., PhD.
ARC: Some patients may present fibrosis of the marrow, especially in advanced phases. The marrow is hypercellular at diagnosis, meaning overproduction of white cells. In a handful of patients, the diagnosis marrow may show other clonal changes, which mean chromosomal abnormalities other than the Ph chromosome, and this becomes marked in advanced phases denoting marrow instability.
