Sickle Cell Anemia & Crisis

This article is long over due and very much needed due to the many inquiries we receive at DHERBS regarding sickle cell anemia and crisis. I will expound upon sickle cell anemia and crisis and iron deficiency (anemia) in this article.

What is anemia?

Anemia is a medical term that derives from the Greek word a, meaning not, and haima, meaning blood. Hence, anemia means not blood medically speaking. Anemia is a disorder characterized by a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood to levels below the normal range, decreased red cell production or increased red cell destruction, or blood loss. Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 3rd edition (1990), pg. 63

Okay, based upon the above, let's break this down to pabulum so that it may be mentally digested so that we may over and understand the matter or subject at hand.

Anemia deals with a decrease in hemoglobin. Well, what is hemoglobin? Hemoglobin is medically defined as: A complex protein-iron compound in the blood that carries oxygen to the cells from the lungs and carbon dioxide away from the cells to the lungs. Each molecule of hemoglobin contains several molecules of heme, and each molecule of heme can carry one molecule of oxygen. Mosby's supra, pg. 556

Okay, so what is heme? Heme derives from the Greek word Haima, meaning, blood, and is medically defined as: The pigmented, iron containing, non-protein portion of the hemoglobin molecule. There are four (4) heme groups in a hemoglobin molecule, each consisting of a cyclic structure of four (4) pyrrole residues, called protoporphyrin, and an atom of iron in the center. Heme binds and carries oxygen in the red blood cells, releasing it to tissues that give off excess amounts of CO2.

So the key material or substance in heme (blood) is the mineral IRON. The metallic mineral iron is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which is a carrier of oxygen in the blood, as stated above.

So based upon all of the above thus far, we have deduced that hemoglobin molecularly contains heme (iron), which binds and carries oxygen. So the two most important areas of analysis in under and over-standing and solving anemia are IRON and OXYGEN (which is a tasteless, odorless, colorless gas essential for human respiration).

Why is anemia epidemic to American women and girls in general, African-American or Black women and girls in particular; and also endemic to African-Americans as a so-called race, collectively?

ANSWER: Lack of iron or iron deficiency due to loss of iron and failure to replenish and nourish the body with iron. Because of the menstrual cycle in females, which is NORMAL, but UNNATURAL (read our article The Myth of Menstruation for more on this controversial subject and why I say what I say in regards to the menses being unnatural), excessive amounts of vital nutrients including iron is horribly lost on an ongoing (or monthly) basis. If menstruum is blood, then what is blood consisting of? Is it not hemoglobin predicated upon heme or iron? Well, if you're losing blood you're losing iron and if you're losing iron you're losing or not getting enough of oxygen and if you are not getting enough oxygen, the body (and brain) suffers, especially the brain. This is why anemic people often see stars and get dizzy (thrown out of equilibrium) and if you're a female, frigidity (coldness) is experienced.

So anemia is endemic of American females due to the menstrual cycle. However, anemia is indicative of African-American females, not only because of the menstrual cycle, but because of the deficiency of iron which is vitally important for African people.

The mineral iron is of dire importance to African (Black) peoples in our modern degenerate (Fall of Man) state of existence. You see, iron is a replacement mineral in our blood today. Due to our degeneration hundreds of thousands of years ago, we lost our original binding mineral in the blood which was magnesium. Magnesium had an affinity to the mineral gold, which was our original blood basis or foundation, and not iron, which is a replacement mineral predicated upon the Body Intelligence's adaptability for purposes of existence.

Because our blood was predicated upon the mineral gold which binded to the magnesium molecule or mineral, our hue (skin color) was actually green and not black or melanated as it is today.

I know what I'm saying sounds weird to most, but unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of people in general and African-Americans in particular are not privy to metaphysics which is the foundation of Life 101, which explains why regardless of the level of education we may have as Blacks or African-Americans, regardless of our incomes and positions in society, regardless of our religious or faith systems, etc., we are in very bad shape as a collective people and religion (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism), Western education and medicine, materiality and finances, and politics have not helped our true cause (spiritual progression to facilitate the quantum leap from the present Third Dimensional state of existence into the Fourth Demensional state of existence). The most successful Black people in America are subject to the same diseases, stigmas, and treatment at the hands of government as poor, disenfranchised and dispossessed Black people (as Michael Jackson can attest to), and as Malcolm X said many years ago, It doesn't matter what religion you are, you still catch the same hell because of the color of your skin).

The Original Ancestors were GREEN and not black. You see, chlorophyll (which is naturally green) is essentially the same substance as human hemoglobin. They only difference between chlorophyll and hemoglobin is the mineral magnesium which explains why chlorophyll is green and we are black (or rusted) or melanated. Many Afrocentrics may say or ask, What do you mean rusted! I say rusted because that is what happened to us. We rusted as a result of the Great Fall. It is a scientific fact that gold does not rust, whether in water and oxygen or not. But does not iron rust when you mix it with water and oxygen? Of course it does! Our heme today contains iron and not gold which is an excellent carrier or transporter of oxygen, just like germanium (which also greatly improves oxygenation and is therefore used by the Japanese to help people heal from cancer, which is an anaerobic or low oxygen condition due to over acidity in the body).

And because of the defect in our hemoglobin today, our blood does not bind well with the mineral copper, which is why you are hearing about and seeing a lot of skin complications with Blacks/African-Americans where the skin is turning white or little white spots are appearing on the skin. You see, carbon and copper have a profound affinity for one another and carbon is what many people call melanin, which is the molecule responsible for dark pigmentation. Copper is necessary for proper melanin activity and today, the copper content we possess in our skin does not circulate or bind properly, and hence a plethora of circulatory disorders (diabetes, high/low blood pressure, strokes and seizures [epilepsy], and heart problems) and blood disorders (eczema, dermatitis, vitiligo or leukoderma, and leukemia).

Now when our hue was green, that meant we had the ability to directly absorb the energy from the sun and store it in our bodies. This is how we existed as Solar-tarians (or Breathetarians) in our original state. Chlorophyll is liquid sunlight or solar energy. Chlorophyll is what makes vegetation green. Plants still have this ability to convert solar energy into chlorophyll and store it in their bodies. But since we dont have this ability anymore, we are now dependent upon eating plants in order to absorb solar energy via chlorophyll, which is why herbivore or vegetarian, and not carnivore, is our present natural state of being. Anybody amongst us promoting meat (flesh) eating for health or existence reasons or purposes is clearly in error and greatly misleading us.

We are eating plants today because of its stored solar energy manifested in and as chlorophyll (in addition to eating plants for mineral and enzyme purposes). This is the only reason for eating plants or vegetation. However, animals such as pigs (pork), cows (beef), sheep (lamb chops), turkey and chicken (fowl) do not absorb solar energy in their flesh like plants, for if they did, all of these animals that we unwisely eat would be green in hue or color. The same would apply to so-called sea food (fish and crustaceans [ocean insects] - shrimp, lobster, crab, etc.) who also don't absorb solar energy in their flesh. This should make all the sense in the world, but then again, it's not about sense or having sense with us today, it's all about what tastes good!

Consuming the SAD (Standard American Diet) rich in animal flesh (meat), dairy (liquefied cow snot and pus), and starch (stiffening agent), and its offspring, junk food, causes the copper in our skin to lose its binding properties. The amount of melanin or carbon that you possess as a Black or African person depends on the copper content in your body.

So today, iron is vital but at the same time is a defect or setback for us. Iron is subject to the Earth's gravitational pull and this phenomenon prevents us from demolecularizing and beaming up into the Universe for galactic journey and experiences. We used to be able to just literally take off (demolecularize) when we had the green hue thing going on. But today, it's difficult for us to do this physically, so presently, we have to learn to astral project or learn how to open up the Seventh or Crown Chakra and the Casual, Soul Star, and Stellar Gateway chakras located at the top of the head and above the head so as to beam up in the Universe in our etherean body, which is a very profound experience. So when you understand the iron mineral, iron is very grounding. It binds you to the Earth via its magnetism. Iron is magnetized. In crystal-ology, we call iron by the name Hematite, which is also known as Magnetite (due to its being a magnet). This is a very important stone for Blacks/African-Americans, especially in relation to anemia (and circulatory disorders) in which I'll explain why later on when I get into solutions for sickle cell and iron deficiency anemia.

I have personally noticed a correlation in conditions of anemia in Black/African-American people and a sense of not being grounded (emotionally and spiritually), which is more so true for Black/African-American females than Black/African-American males (who do not menstruate and lose as much grounding iron as Black/African-American females do).

In spite of what has been said supra, we are living in the present, and presently, iron is of importance to us. It is the primary transporter of oxygen which we really need. African peopleís bio-genetically have larger noses for greater intake of oxygen. Oxygen is the number one fuel for the body and brain. Even with our defect in heme and disorder in circulation, compared to whites, our circulation is more enhanced and would be even better if we wisely went back to eating traditional and native foods (rich in iron).

Our bodies process iron from one state to another. Heme iron is converted into ferrous iron. Whites (or Caucasians) have great difficulty in converting heme iron into ferrous iron, so it is vitally important for them to stimulate their bodies via exercising (jogging, weightlifting, etc.), though very harmful, which is what the more health and life conscious whites do, whereas the ignorant and unconscious whites are subconsciously stimulating bodily circulation for heme conversion activity by shocking or stimulating the body via the consumption of stimulants (alcohol, drugs, effervescent beverages, i.e. Coca-cola, Pepsi; caffeine, nicotine, coffee, chocolate, etc.) and smoking cigarettes.

And today, you have a bunch of silly and ignorant and unconscious Black/African-Americans following behind these ignorant and health and life unconscious white people/Caucasians by consuming stimulants and stimulating the heart via harmful exercise that strain and overtax the heart, all under the banner of instant gratification and social acceptance. As the Scripture states, When the blind lead the blind, both fall in the ditch. Oh so true! I am not telling anyone to stop exercising. I just don't promote or subscribe to Western exercise. They are 100% detrimental and violative of the Hermetic Principles of Gender. American women jog, run, and work out in gyms but suffer from menopause, menstrual complaints, fibroids, PMS, uterine problems, etc., whereas Eastern women perform Tai Chi, yoga, antigravity exercises, and meditation and do not suffer from the same list of pathologies as their Western female brethren, or, do not suffer to the same degree of these pathologies endemic and indicative of their Western female brethren. Even the American women who walk for exercise (whom I applaud for fighting sedentary lifestyles) are still participating in that which is detrimental to their health (female reproductive area health) because each and every step a woman takes on cement (or carpet) while wearing high heels or tennis shoes, she's sending an electrical shock via the metatarsal bones in the feet all the way up the bones in the legs and to her uterus, shocking (frying) it and causing uterine complaints and atrophy (degeneration). These shoes and heels need water absorbent pads placed in them (in the soles) so as to prevent electrical shock as water absorbs the electrical shock. This could be a very large and lucrative market for some innovator out there because Western women will never in a million years stop buying and wearing high heel shoes, no matter what damage these shoes do to their feet. Beauty and fashion are drugs to Western females, especially here in the U.S.

Getting back to iron - while it is melanin that makes African people's hair black in so-called color, it is iron (in addition to melanin) that makes it curl up, what is called naps or nappy hair. Contrary to popular and social opinion, nappy hair is not some curse or bad thing. Nappy hair is hair that curls up into a spiral helix reminiscent of the DNA molecule. This hair is a great satellite and receiver for information accessed from the Universe via the Akashic Records, the great library of the Universe where all wisdom, understanding, and knowledge is stored.

Black/African people could access and download some serious life changing information that would improve their overall existence and condition (in every facet) on planet Earth (and speed up the evolution of present day human beings), but they are too preoccupied frying and killing their hair (antennae) under the illusion of beauty (getting perms, Jheri curls, processes, and dying and coloring the hair with petroleum-based chemicals that cause cancer in the long run).

They (Blacks/African-Americans) are very beautiful and attractive people, especially the females (modern goddesses), but they are not very wise people, at least in the midst of white people/Caucasians, whom the American society reflects. They just can't seem to rise above their impediments as a collective, unlike other so-called races and nationalities in America. They fail to realize that their solution in the midst of American society and life (for all of their woes) is a SPIRITUAL one and not a material or mundane one. Politics, religion, education, and finances WILL NOT improve our condition as a collective. They never have and they never will. All of these things are nothing but an ILLUSION (and I don't mean to sound disrespectful or inconsiderate I'm just telling the truth or my truth in which you can call an opinion if you like).

Involvement in politics, membership in various religions (which are really foreign to them, culturally speaking, and which have been forced on them by colonizers and oppressors), being so-called educated (which is really inculcated and indoctrinated) and receiving a host of degrees and credentials (work permits, receipts for proof of indoctrination and inculcation for smoother transition into the New World Order), and attaining the bling bling (finances, material glitter) has not changed or removed the impediments and obstructions (social, mental and psychological), prevented or cured the pathologies and diseases, or removed the social snares Blacks/African-Americans are faced with and have been facing for more than 400 years.

Now since iron (a moderate amount) is important for healthy hair and Black/African-American females are deficient in iron due to hemorrhaging once a month under the auspices of a menstrual cycle; is there not a connection in the host of hair problems many Black/African-American women are experiencing? A lot of Black women tell me they are experiencing serious hair problems in the form of hair loss/fall out, split ends, alopecia, frailty, and thinning. I'm quite sure lack of iron is not the only problem, but lack of other vital nutrients as well due to poor diet and crazy life (death) style. But if iron makes the hair curl, what is happening to the iron in the hair (and body) when the hair is being fried (processed)? This is something to think over! The above is also 100% applicable to Black/African-American males.

And because 95% of Blacks/African-Americans are anemic, they are outright out of their minds to be donating their blood to blood banks such as the American Red Cross. Donating blood is unnatural. This is why you feel weak, sick and nauseated after donating blood, because you are already deficient in blood and heme (iron). When you donate blood you are foolishly giving away that which you are lacking but in which your physical existence depends. Part of the problem beleaguering Blacks/African-Americans is that kind heart but inability to use that innate bio-genetic wisdom to balance out that kind heart so injury can't occur while doing good in an attempt to perform the Sunnum Bunnum (Greatest Good), especially while existing within the corridors of the greatest Matrix ever devised by man.

Americans blood is FILTY and TOXIC, but that doesn't stop the Red Cross from taking that blood. The Red Cross is smart enough to purify that blood via ozonation and then selling it all across the world to research centers. The Red Cross profits billions of dollars per year in the blood trade. And as my good friend Brother Phil Valentine asked, how much of that donated blood is being used for blood cocktails for sanitized vampirism? In a nutshell and to be covered more in depth under solutions, IRON (phosphate) is what is needed to correct iron deficiency anemia. What is Sickle Cell Anemia?

Western medicine defines sickle cell anemia as: A severe, chronic, incurable, anemic condition that occurs in people homozygous for hemoglobin S (Hb S). The abnormal hemoglobin results in distortion and fragility of the erythrocytes. Sickle cell anemia is characterized by crisis of joint pain, thrombosis, and fever and by chronic anemia, with splenomegaly, lethargy, and weakness. Mosby's supra, pg. 1080.

Sickle cell crisis is defined as: An acute, episode condition that occurs in children with sickle cell anemia. Mosby's supra, pg. 1080 Did you notice the word incurable in the Western allopathic definition of sickle cell anemia? If anemia is a condition of lack of iron in the blood, how can it not be curable? Cannot a lack in and of something be corrected by applying an abundance of that which is lacking? Of course it can! It's really common sense, but most Americans don't use this anymore due to being educated in prestigious government mind-control institutions called college and university. Sickle cell is a disorder or disease indicative of Black/African-Americans and exclusive to Blacks/African-Americans, which explains why sickle cell does not get the kind of attention, exposure, and funding that it deserves, unlike leukemia, which is predominantly a blood disease indicative of white/Caucasian children.

Sickle cell means the red blood cells are sickle shaped (half rounded) instead of being fully round like a circle. Clearly, this is a disorder. I have heard many great Black/African-American health experts such as Laila O'Afrika, Dick Gregory, Dr. Jewel Pookrum (Sanut), and Dr. Kweku Andoh, Ph.D., state that sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder commonly found in populations where malaria is common. According to Andoh, this blood disorder acts as a prophylactic against malaria, and is a desirable t rait in areas where malaria is rampant.

These areas where malaria is common are located in West and Central Africa. However, this so-called desirable trait as Andoh states becomes the sickle cell trait in the Western world. So is this trait really desirable? And why does the trait become that of sickle cell in the Western world? Blacks/African-Americans with the sickle cell trait that migrate to or visit Africa would be immune to malaria (and wouldn't suffer from sickle cell). So what is a detriment in America becomes a plus in certain parts of Africa, but why?

The quintessential question is: why does the same trait in African-Americans and some Native Africans only cause African-Americans to suffer from sickle cell here in America and other Western countries?

Answer: DIET!!!

The African diet is naturally rich in foods high in iron phosphate (organic iron) and thiocyanate. Iron and thiocyanate both act as oxygen carriers and are found in certain or specific foods.

Thiocyanate is a nutrient found in certain foods native to Africa, the Caribbean, the so-called Middle East and the Mediterranean.

All activities of a cell function on a high level of efficiency when oxygen is provided in abundance to each and every cell and it is because of this specific reason that when the diet (or foods) is rich in thiocyanate (and iron), the prevention of the sickling of red blood cells in people who suffer from sickle cell anemia occurs.

So just as iron deficiency anemia is corrected with the addition of foods high in iron phosphate (organic iron) to the diet, so is sickle cell anemia corrected with dietary thiocyanate (and iron phosphate as well) added to the diet. Thiocyanate is an anti-sickling agent.

But as Andoh and the others state in which I concur, Africans with the sickle cell trait (blood disorder) who travel to foreign countries and who stray from their traditional diet experience the sickle cell crisis for the very first time.

Solutions for healing sickle cell and iron deficiency anemia.

The most important agent in healing these blood disorders is IRON or Iron Phosphate (which is organic iron). Nature provides us with iron phosphate which is needed for human hemoglobin. Unfortunately for Blacks/African-Americans in the United States, the diet is greatly deficient in iron and these Western allopathic doctors who do know that we are dependent upon iron but at the same time is greatly lacking in iron, are prescribing TOXIC pharmaceutical grade versions of iron which are taxing the liver and causing severe and chronic constipation in the digestive tract.

Because many Blacks/African-Americans are unknowingly consuming pharmaceutical grade sulphur, which is inorganic sulphur (and therefore harmful), this sulphur which has an affinity for the mineral iron creates sulphuric acid in the body. This inorganic sulphur (not to be confused with natural or organic sulphur called MSM or methyl sulphonal methane) steals IRON from food and the blood, causing sulphide of iron to form which dries up the various secretions of the digestive tract causing constipation. So now you know how synthetic iron pills cause constipation.

It is this synthetic pharmaceutical grade of iron that many white/Caucasian (and blind Black/African-American) doctors are prescribing to pregnant Black/African-American females (and white/European, Asian, and Mexican/Latino females too) that causes that constipation you hear many of them complain about. Many of them are smart enough to stop taking that form of iron. I guess it's innate and bio-genetic intelligence stored in the genetic memory bank of the DNA.

Many Black/African-American women make a choice to remain anemic rather than take those harmful synthetic iron pills and in reality, even if a woman consumes those synthetic iron pills, they are not being absorbed in the body so she'd still end up being anemic. Synthetic and inorganic minerals don't absorb in the bloodstream and when you have a certain synthetic mineral such as sulphur oxide for example, it will circulate through the system but the greater part of it will be thrown out through the pores of the skin unchanged showing that it was not assimilated by the cells, but emphatically rejected. This is why most older Blacks (ages 45-75) will tell you they are allergic to sulphur (inorganic sulphur) because when they consumed it, it caused skin problems (redness, skin eruption, etc.). MSM sulphur will not do this as it will be assimilated in the body because it is organic sulphur and very beneficial for human health.

So the most important agent or element in sickle cell and iron deficiency anemia is IRON and natural sources include PARSLEY, SPINACH, GREENS (collards and mustard), WATERCRESS, BURDOCK, CHARD and KALE. These foods are also green so not only will you obtain iron, but you will also obtain CHLOROPHYLL. It is best to juice the above green foods (vegetables) or to eat them steamed (for seven minutes or less).

The greatest way to obtain optimal and maximum amounts of iron phosphate is via herbs. There is no food or plant higher or richer in iron than YELLOW DOCK ROOT. This herb is par excellence for all iron deficiency disorders and is a great cleanser of the blood and lymph fluids.

DANDELION ROOT and BURDOCK ROOT are the next best herbs rich in iron and excellent for iron deficiency disorders.

Other herbs that are great and rich sources of natural iron include: NETTLE LEAF, MULLEIN LEAF, DEVIL'S CLAW, IRON WEED, BLUE COHOSH ROOT, ECHINACEA, RED RASPBERRY LEAF, FENUGREEK, THYME, WHITE OAK BARK and YERBA MATE.

The herb RED CLOVER is a great blood builder and nutritive and is also highly recommended by myself.

STRAWBERRY LEAF, CHAPPARAL, CHICKWEED, MANJISTHA, CAYENNE, ELDER BERRIES, CERASEE and OREGON GRAPE are excellent blood purifiers.

Seaweeds are also great sources of natural iron. IRISH MOSS, DULSE, KELP, SPIRULINA, CHLORELLA and BLUE GREEN ALGAE are just a few of the seaweeds that can be commonly found and consumed. Seaweeds are the greatest food you can eat and are the most oxygenating plants on the planet and greatly increase and enhance oxygen throughout the body. But by all means, the best seaweed you can consume is BLUE GREEN ALGAE. Foods with the blue-green combination are imperative for consumption by Black people.

UNSULPURED BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES provides a moderate amount of iron. A teaspoon can be taken daily (especially for menstruating women and girls). Avoid all molasses (and other products/foods) containing sulphur by all means. Sulphuring agents are poisonous and dangerous!

Fruits that provide good and moderate amounts of iron include: BLACK CURRANTS, GRAPES, CHERRIES, STRAWBERRIES, ELDER BERRIES, BLUE BERRIES, LYCII (WOLF) BERRIES, BLACK BERRIES, PUMPKIN and LIMES.

ALFALFA (herb or sprouts) is laced with organic iron. Most commercial brands of chlorophyll are made from Alfalfa. So drink plenty of chlorophyll (adding it to your water).

BARLEY GRASS and WHEAT GRASS (2-4 ounces daily) also provide essential iron (and other minerals and nutrients) and are also great sources of chlorophyll. Foods rich in THIOCYANATE include: WHITE YAM, PLANTAIN, BANANA, PULSE (all legumes), BUTTER BEANS, LENTILS, BLACK EYE PEAS, GARBANZO BEANS (CHICKPEAS), LIMA BEANS, MILLET, BUCKWHEAT, FALAFEL, HUMUS, OATMEAL, TEFF (INJERA), TURNIPS, RUTABAGA, BRUSSEL SPROUTS, ALMONDS, and RASPBERRIES.

Notice how many of these thiocyanate foods were used in authentic soul food that was prepared by mama and grandma back in the day. We don't eat many of these foods today, especially this modern generation of young Blacks/African-Americans. Our youth over-consumes junk food (McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, In and Out, Rally's, Del Taco, Pizza Hut, Popeye's, Church's, Carl's Jr., etc.) which interferes with the copper content in the body. Black youth never before had the number of cases of skin diseases (blood disorders) you witness today.

As bad as soul food is/was (due to overcooking of vegetables, pig and other meats, excessive fat, etc.), we'd be better off health-wise as a people consuming soul food rather than commercial junk food.

And today, it's not difficult to prepare vegan-vegetarian soul food. Our defunct group, Conscious Minds, that we had here in the Los Angeles area had it going on with the bomb vegan-vegetarian (and raw foods) dishes that brothers and sisters prepared (including myself).

Folks used to come through with dishes out of this world (that tasted better than the real stuff - soul food). My ex-wife Jeannine and her ambrosial blue cornbread; Danni and her cabbage dish, Melia and her lentils, LaTima and her kale. I used to prepare barbecued ribs and mango-flavored chicken made of seitan, a rice dish consisting of wild and brown rice and hemp seeds, cashews, and almonds; candied yams laced with maple syrup, vanilla extract (alcohol free), and cinnamon; and various beans (black/turtle, adzuki, kidney, etc.); and various herbal teas (sweetened with maple syrup and agave nectar) that tasted better than any commercial beverage. I have to give props to Brother Raw-Sheed, our master raw food preparer on the West Coast who prepared all kinds of dishes that opened many of us up to many new foods and dishes; and last but not least, Mother Zitari and her awesome tuna dishes and black sesame seed chips/cookies. This food was true soul food because it was cooking that came from the soul and was 100% VEGAN!

I was just telling sister India Arie the other day how Los Angeles did have a few serious conscious groups and locations that made it very worthwhile to be on the West Coast. The energy is still here and something looms large in the very near future that DHERBS will be a part of. In closing, Oxygen also plays a role in reversing iron deficiency disorders. Liquid oxygen drops products (such as Oxy-Drops) can prove most helpful in cases of sickle cell.

Taking daily alkaline baths (in sea salt) will help to alkalize the body. And if you have an oxygen or ozone machine, you can take an oxygen bath. If you add a whole box of sea salt to this bath, some serious healing will take place because now you're dealing with inundation of oxygen and alkalinity. And I'd be remiss to not mention the gemstones HEMATITE and MALACHITE.

HEMATITE (also known as MAGNETITE) can help Black people get their soul back that we had during the 1960's and 1970's that we lost to disco, rap (especially gangster rap), and modern R&B music. The soul has been stolen, that's why rap group Public Enemy had a song called Who Stole the Soul? on their Fear of a Black Planet album. Actually, in my assessment, nobody stole our collective soul. As a collective, we simply souled (sold) out! Plain and simple! Hematite helps us to harmonize mind, body, and soul. It protects our soul and grounds it back into the body. It also dissolves negativity (which is rampant in Blacks/African-Americans and the Black community). Hematite, physically speaking, has a powerful connection with blood. It restores, strengthens, and regulates the blood supply and also can draw heat from the body (preventing frigidity/coldness that so many sisters complain about). Now this is what Black women should be wearing as jewelry instead of gold and diamonds and all of that other glitzy stuff. Hematite also cleanses the blood and stimulates the absorption of iron and the formation of healthy red blood cells, making it vital for persons battling sickle cell.

MALACHITE is an excellent stone for Black/African-American women. It offers healing for all female complaints as it resonates with the female sexual organs. It is ideal for sickle cell and iron deficiency anemia as it is an iron and also helps in absorbing copper. It consists of the blue-green dynamic (like blue-green algae) and therefore is a must for healing on all levels.

Regardless of what you have heard about sickle cell anemia and crisis being incurable, this blood disorder is 100% reversible or healable and Dherbs has helped victims of sickle cell recover and live quality lives and it was very easy for me to do, because when you know what causes a disease, you then know how to heal from and prevent the disease.

After detoxing with our Full Body Detox, I put so-called sickle cell anemics on the following DHERBS.Com formulas: Blood & Lymphatic Formula, Electric Greens Cell Food, Iron Phosphate and Vitamin C Formula for sickling prevention purposes.

Thousands of innocent Black/African-American youth are dying from a blood disorder that is treatable and healable. I only say treatable for the people who will not go all the way to heal from the crisis 100%. However, nobody has to die.

Western allopathic medicine offers us absolutely nothing in the way of hope, treatment, and solution pertaining to sickle cell anemia.

Many Black/African-American women will and have been told by doctors that they have the trait in their body simply because they tested or showed up as being anemic during a doctor's examination. Because many of these women believed the doctor's words, their body (hardware) reacted to these words (software) and they unconsciously imprinted the program for the sickling of blood in their unborn child's body (blood). The thing you fear is the monster you create. The mind is very important in healing (and enslaving). Be careful who you listen to and what you decide to believe (take in). You could be injuring yourself.

African-Americans, like all other people and races in America, can count on and trust in DHERBS to bring the truth and also to assist them in healing from any so-called incurable diseases as long as they have the will to heal.

Regardless of what you may think of me personally because of my words, I have the utmost love in my heart for my people, Black/African-Americans, and I have chosen to be an asset to them (and the world) rather than a liability. I receive no money from my articles nor do I seek such. I write these articles (surrendering my personal time which I don't have much of these days) from the heart as part of my duty to truly and properly educate and to help free people, especially African-Americans, from the chains of mental, psychological, and spiritual bondage. DHERBS is a vehicle for this work and I am forever grateful to AD and JD, my business partners, for believing in me and the herbal formulas I concocted. There would be no DHERBS without these two beautiful and dynamic individuals.

Thank you for reading!

Peace, Love, and Light!
