The Wonder Pill And Its Anti-Leukemic Properties

What Is Leukemia?

Leukemia is a cancer of blood cells. The development of this illness increases when the blood cells in the bone marrow start behaving abnormally. These abnormal cells are known as leukemia cells. Eventually, these leukemia cells outgrow the normal functional blood cells and hence cause a hindrance in their functionality.

In this disease, there is a production of abnormal white blood cells, which are the cells that protect the body against infection. But contrary to the normal WBCs, these abnormal leukemia cells continuously grow and divide and ultimately warm out the normal blood cells. The outcome is that it becomes challenging for the body to fight against infections, stop bleeding by causing coagulation, and transport oxygen to all the parts of the body.
