THAILAND:  The size of the country is about 200,000 square miles or nearly the size of France in Europe or Texas of the USA.  The population of Thailand is 60 millions approximately half of which are male. Hence, more or less than 3,000 of them have hemophilia. The most common type is 'A' followed by 'B' while 'C' is rare.  Thailand is still a developing country.

 

         

The Royal Family of Romonov and the Emperor of Japan

Well over 60 years ago, the population of Thailand was less than 20 millions.   Over one thousand of male population were affected. The author of this article, Narong Poopong, was one of them at which time he was only 10 years old.  

                

Prince Alexis, Rasputin, Maharishi

In those days, the Thais did not like to go to hospitals due to lack of knowledge  on modern medicine brought earlier to this country by Prince Mahidol who was the father of the present King of Thailand, and was himself a Doctor, receiving his medical qualifications from the Harvard School of Medicine. Hemophilia was  only mentioned   in the  books; sufferers depended upon ancient medicine.

If   you have a  look at   a  developing  country   like Thailand,  the need  to know how to protect, in this case, your male offspring or you yourself  as a male,  is of  a greater  part of life   than  the one of   a  well-developed country.  Accordingly,  Narong took a round the world trip  in 1977 to such  those countries  as, Canada, USA, UK, France, Italy, the Netherlands and  others  to learn the  treatments  given  there.   He persuaded then  the Minister of Public Health of Thailand  of what   Mr. Frank Schnabel, the Founder of the  World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH),  wanted him to do, i.e.  to set up a Hemophilia Society in Thailand.

As  it  is  mentioned  in  the   Thai website, http://hemophilia07.googlepages.com/index.htm, that the National Health Security Office or NHSO of Thailand has included Hemophilia in the list of specific diseases under free national care and treatments.  Hence, all hemophiliacs holding Gold Health Security Cards are entitled to such treatments from the government. However, this scheme is not yet successful throughout Thailand due to insufficient Hemophilia Treatment Centers and the demand on clotting factors is much more than supply.  Besides, there are not enough healthcare providers who can take care of hemophilia nationwide.

 

     

Thai Culture

 

Thus,  the  author  of  this article was compelled to seek a way to enhance his life painlessly.  

From 1977 up to the present time, he has been practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM), as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, primarily to find a way to eliminate the mental stresses believed to cause a number of ongoing illnesses assuming Hemophilia is one and its spontaneous bleeding is psychosomatic.

As  a  result,  the  muscles  were  then  relaxed;  stresses   were  also released .     Obviously,  the meditating process is by far more fruitful and superior to the Muscle Relaxation Technique in modern medical applications.  As a delightful surprise, after a few weeks of TM practice, the frequency of bleeding episodes had decreased:  

From 1-3 times a week to 1-3 times a year.

Naturally, both Physical Health and Mental Health are improved  together as well as  the immune system for  the body.  Thus, the physical  disorder complications  and illnesses heal automatically.   It  is most convenient, free, and saving numerous trips to hospitals or treatment centers without complications and  adverse side effects.

Please note that this article is based on the personal experience of the author and  is  presented online  as information only. It is an excellent prophylaxis  for him, not  to  replace the conventional treatment of Hemophilia against the actual hemorrhage.
