Those who suffer from Anemia either have a reduced number of red blood cells or a reduced amount of hemoglobin (the component of red blood cells that attaches to oxygen and transports it in the blood). Since there is less oxygen available to the cells in the body, Anemics have less energy to perform normal functions. The most common cause of Anemia is iron deficiency... iron is used to make hemoglobin. Most Anemics are on medication for life. We are interested in fixing the nutritional deficiencies underlying the condition to heal the ailment completely.

Anemia can have many causes, including:

Vitamin and iron deficiencies

Acute or chronic bleeding

Hormone deficiencies, such as thyroid hormone or testosterone

Chronic diseases, such as kidney failure, cancer and Crohn's disease

Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus

Side effect of certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs

Treatment depends on the underlying cause.

how to cure:

An all natural whole food supplement can be helpful. VITAFORCE™ is extremely abundant in organic iron and has extraordinary blood building properties. Iron is up to 16 times more absorbable if taken with Vitamin C and this is properly balanced naturally in VITAFORCE™. It is also extremely rich in all the other nutrients necessary for healthy blood.

If you are anemic, then drink juices rich in chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is responsible for the green pigment in plants (called the "blood" of plants). Chlorophyll has almost the exact same chemical makeup of hemoglobin (less one iron molecule), both are responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. Since the chemical makeup is almost identical, chlorophyll can quickly and easily be converted to hemoglobin. If the juices are rich in organic iron, then you have all the qualities for a blood transfusion. For example, the fresh organic juice of carrots, beets and beet greens dramatically increases the red blood cell count in the body. Dark leafy vegetables and especially They have extraordinary blood-building properties.

Other foods that contain iron are asparagus, bananas, beets, dulse, kelp, whole grains (esp. millet & kamut), leafy greens, raisins, parsley, peas, plums, squash, prunes, purple grapes, broccoli, and yams.

Homoglobin is the long lost cousin of Homosimpson!

Why didn't you just ask the doctor?

Alternatively, just perform a google search.

Homeglobin is when your red blood cells start to travel around your body holding hands. It can affect your personality and you will suddenly find yourself decorating your apartment in bright colours...

Hemoglobin is the biochemical in your red blood cells which transports oxygen from your lungs to your cells. It is based upon an iron atom, which binds to the oxygen to carry the oxygen molecule. You may need more iron (such as a suppliment) or eating more red meat might be enough. If you are vegetarian, iron pills may be best for you. What did your doctor recommend? You might be feeling weakness or less energy as a result of the iron deficiency.

I totally agree with dreshan. If you know how to post a question on QL, then you can easily search it on google or wikipedia. Asking such questions on QL is silly.

Wow good to know we have so many QLers with good medical knowledge. Its a silly question though! If he can post the question here, surely he can use Google or Wikipedia to find out what Haemoglobin means.

Hemoglabin is one of spideman's enemy.. oh i think that's greengoblin.

just kidding,

Definition of Hemoglabin

Hem"o*glo"bin (?), n. [Hemo- + globe.] (Physiol.) The normal coloring matter of the red blood corpuscles of vertebrate animals. It is composed of hematin and globulin, and is also called hæmatoglobulin. In arterial blood, it is always combined with oxygen, and is then called oxyhemoglobin. It crystallizes under different forms from different animals, and when crystallized, is called hæmatocrystallin.

Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to Heart and to continue the Inhaling and Exhaling Proccess.

They are responsible of Healing any kind of cut , they stop the blood flow and they are also reponsible to open any kind of plaque inside vains to prevent heart attacks. IF you smoke Hemoglobin will carry the necotin every where it goes because Necotine get stuck on the hemoglobin and reduce its functions so the hemoglobin wont be holding much oxygen in every breathing proccess thats why we see people who smokes breathes more than natural people when they do any activity . There body needs Oxygen but the hemo. aint functioning in the way they have to .

Hemoglobin is a protein that is carried by red cells. It picks up oxygen in the lungs and delivers it to the peripheral tissues to maintain the viability of cells. Hemoglobin is made from two similar proteins that "stick together". Both proteins must be present for the hemoglobin to pick up and release oxygen normally. One of the component proteins is called alpha, the other is beta. Before birth, the beta protein is not expressed. A hemoglobin protein found only during fetal development, called gamma, substitutes up until birth.

Hi, I am sure most of the guyz answered your query, if you need more details, read the follwoing:

The role of the red blood cells is to carry oxygen through the body. The red blood cells can perform this task because of the presence of hemoglobin, the pigment that is formed when the red blood cells develop in the bone marrow.

Each hemoglobin molecule is made up of a protein molecule called globin and four pigmented molecules of a compound called heme. Each heme molecule has one atom of iron, and there are four heme molecules in a single molecule of hemoglobin; hence, a single molecule of hemoglobin has four atoms of iron. This structure makes it possible for one hemoglobin molecule to join with four oxygen molecules to form a substance called oxyhemoglobin. This reaction is reversible, enabling hemoglobin to pick up oxygen when the blood is in the lungs and to release oxygen in the cells when the blood is pumped to the tissues.

In general, the blood of men usually has a greater concentration of hemoglobin than that of women. Men have about 14 to 16 grams of hemoglobin per 100 milliliters of blood, whereas women have only about 12 to 14 grams per 100 milliliters of blood. (One hundred milliliters is approximately equal to 31⁄2 ounces.)

A number of blood disorders have to do with hemoglobin abnormalities. In many forms of anemia, there is not enough hemoglobin in the red blood cells. In polycythemia vera, there is too much hemoglobin in the blood. In other conditions, such as thalassemia, the abnormal chemical composition or production of hemoglobin molecules reduces both the oxygen-carrying and oxygen-releasing capability of the red blood cells.

I hope this answers all your question. Takecare of your health and do as doctor advices and eat lot of green vigitables.

My mistake, confused this with the condition Haemophilia.

Overlook, can I say your information is incorrect.If one is anaemic and 'cuts' oneself bleeding will not last longer. These are clotting factors that are responsible for this not haemoglobin.....

Homoglobin is a prejudice against globin.......

Its actually haemoglobin, a deficiency can be due to many factors.....if you are deficient you are known as being anaemic...google it for more details....

Heamoglobin is a component of the blood. If you are deficient in it, it means that if you have an accident or cut yourself, you will bleed easier and for a longer period of time.

Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. The iron contained in hemoglobin is responsible for the red color of blood.

You should eat Alot of green vegitables and salads, your HB will come up dont worry...
