Steve Harvey recently dubbed Dherbs CEO A.D. Dolphin as “The King Of Weight Loss,” but A.D.’s ultimate concern is improving overall health, no matter the disease or symptoms one has to overcome. While the Full Body Cleanse is Dherbs’ most popular product, the company has many other products, informational articles, and natural alternatives/remedies for a variety of health conditions.

A.D. recently demonstrated his commitment to raising awareness for sickle cell disease by running a 5k race for Kier’s Hope Foundation in Dallas, Texas. Dherbs Inc. was a sponsor for the event, which helped to raise funds for finding a cure for sickle cell disease. With a mission to provide communities with knowledge, skills, and helpful tips to maintain good health, Kier’s Hope Foundation is focusing on long-term change instead of temporary, short-term solutions for sickle cell disease, which affects the founder, comedian Kier Spates.

Spates was born in 1979 with sickle cell disease, but there was no mandatory testing for the disease for infants at that time. All states have required newborn screening for sickle cell disease since May 1, 2006, despite recommendation to nationally implement that measure in 1987. This disease greatly affected States’ life at an early age and put financial, emotional, and physical strain on his family. After surviving two attempts to end his life, he knew that some greater force wanted him to continue on in life, even if he did not share that vision.

Since those early days, States has become a successful comedian and has made it his goal to provide resources and information to others who suffer from sickle cell disease. A.D. admired States’ tenacity and knew that he had to lend a helping hand to this admirable effort. A.D. completed the 5k race, which was held on Saturday, June 1, 2019. Hundreds of other people from all walks of life participated in the event with the common objective of raising awareness for sickle cell disease.

Introduction

Dietary or nutritional thiocyanate is a very important substance necessary for optimal health and wellbeing. Thiocyanate is found in specific foods, common to the indigenous African diet as well as some Middle Eastern and Mediterranean diets.

When thiocyanate is present in the diet, it acts as an oxygen carrier and increases the capacity of the blood to transport the life-giving oxygen to every single cell of the body.

Thiocyanate is a must-have substance if one is dealing with the challenge of sickle cell anemia. Because of its oxygen-enhancing properties, a diet rich in thiocyanate is effective in helping mitigate sickling of the red blood cells (also known as sickle cell anemia), a blood disorder.

Eating for Bio-Genetics

It’s believed that food should come directly from the place of one’s birth because the food carries vitamins and minerals complimentary to our bio-genetic makeup.

Wherever you are from, ethnically speaking, that land has special and particular nutrients in the ground complimentary to one’s gene pool. People with heritage in other lands need those nutrients for optimal health and well being.

Even though our bodies have the ability to adapt to a foreign diet, this could be detrimental to one’s long term health if the person consumes the foreign diet more than his or her own native diet.

Natural Sources

Dietary or nutritional thiocyanate foods include:

  • Almonds
  • Banana
  • Black eye peas
  • Brussel sprouts
  • Buckwheat
  • Butter Beans
  • Cassava
  • Cauliflower
  • Garbanzo beans
  • Horseradish
  • Lentils
  • Lima Beans
  • Millet
  • Mustard (greens)
  • Peanuts
  • Plantain
  • Raspberries
  • Rutabaga
  • Turnips
  • White Yam

As herbalist Tim Morrow wisely says, “Eat the best of what’s available because the best is not available!” That’s true because in America, the best is not available, so we have to eat the best of what’s available.

Iron-deficiency anemia is an adverse condition most commonly associated with severe shortage of iron.

Iron is a trace element that is essential for human health, especially female health since so much of it is lost due to the monthly menstrual cycle that causes valuable nutrients to exit the female body.

Iron is present in our bodies as hemoglobin, the red pigment of blood. It is also present in myoglobin, the form of hemoglobin found in muscle tissue.

Iron is stored in the liver, spleen, bone-marrow and muscles.

For maximum absorption of Iron, the following nutrients are essential: Vitamin A and C, Copper, b-vitamins, Manganese and Molydenum.

Iron-Deficiency

Iron-deficiency anemia is an adverse condition most commonly associated with severe shortage of iron. Anemia has been a prominent condition for many years now. In fact, ancient Kemetic physicists studied anemia in 1,500 B.C.

Iron is required for the following:

  • Muscle protein
  • Improving physical performance
  • Preventing learning problems in children
  • Boosting energy levels
  • Essential for enzymes
  • Boosting the defense or immune system

Found in the human blood, iron is a mineral that is found in very large amounts. Deficiency of this mineral is caused by an insufficient diet. Females can become deficient in iron from excessive menstrual bleeding. If there is blood loss, there is loss of iron.

Strenuous exercise also depletes the body of iron. Females who perform rigorous and strenuous exercises damage the integrity of the female reproductive system. The glands and organs can create internal imbalances, especially regarding hormones.

Regular strenuous exercise may cause a decrease in the production of female hormones, progesterone and estrogen. On the other hand, it may also cause an increase in male hormones such as testosterone and androsterone.

Iron-Deficiency Symptoms

Symptoms of iron-deficiency include:

  • Anemia
  • Pallor
  • Breathlessness
  • Insomnia
  • Tiredness
  • Palpitations
  • Feeling cold
  • Brittle hair
  • Dizziness
  • Inflammation of the tissues of the mouth
  • Slowed mental reactions
  • White spots on the fingernails

African and African-American women require more Iron than any other race or ethnicity of female. It is imperative that African women consume adequate amounts of iron.

Dietary Thiocyanate and Iron are the two nutrients that are most important for their overall health. These two nutrients are very important, especially if a person has sickle cell and/or anemia. Both of these adverse conditions are endemic to Africans in America and African-Americans. However, more than 90% of American females in general are reported to be anemic.

Organic vs. Inorganic Forms

It is best to avoid synthetic forms of Iron that are commonly found in pharmaceutical products. They have been shown to cause constipation, especially in females.

Pharmaceutical grades of Iron are derived from oxides such as metals and stones.

Organic or botanical Iron is the kind that the human body requires and can digest, absorb and use effectively.

Inorganic forms of Iron include: Ferrocholinate, Ferrous Fumerate, Ferrous Gluconate, Ferrous Sulfate, Iron-dextran and Iron Oxide.

Natural Sources of Iron

Natural food sources of Iron include:

  • Green leafy vegetables
  • Parsley
  • Spinach
  • Watercress
  • Almonds
  • Beets
  • Avocados
  • Dates
  • Kidney
  • Lima beans
  • Lentils
  • Millet
  • Peaches
  • Pears
  • Pumpkin
  • Dried prunes
  • Blackstrap molasses
  • Raisins
  • Wheat bran
  • Sesame seeds

Herbs that contain organic Iron include:

Seaweeds are also exceptional sources of organic, dietary Iron. Good seaweeds to consume for Iron purposes include: Kelp, Dulse, Spirulina, Irish Moss, Chlorella and Blue-Green Algae.

Other sources of Iron include gemstones of Hematite, Malachite and Iron Pyrite. Gemstones of Hematite, Androdite and Chlorite assist in the proper use of organic Iron in the body.

These gemstones can also be used to make elixirs of Iron. However, they should not be placed directly into the water, especially Malachite, but should be placed in a separate glass container and placed within a large container of water.

This is the indirect way to make elixirs. The crystal or gemstones does not touch the elixir water because they are toxic in their solid state, but they emit beneficial vibrations that are recorded into the water.
