Fwd: Anemia - Metabolic Dysfunction

This is information on various anemias. There are only 3 references to

sickle cell anemia in the article. I found the dietary recommendations

especially interesting. Note the reference to cold water fish. Cold water

fish are high in omega-3 EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids). Omega-3 EFAs tilt

the body towards making more of the " good " prostaglandins (PGs) than the

" bad " PGs. The " bad " PGs are involved in things like fevers, sensation of

pain, inflammation, etc. Some of the symptoms of SCA are fever and pain.

(The words good and bad are in quotes because sometimes the body needs the

" bad " PGs in order to survive and there is such a thing as too many of the

" good " PGs causing problems.)

 

Yams in general are tonic to the kidneys and adaptogen in nature. Some yams

have Qi tonic properties. The reason why yams caught my attention will

become more apparent when we look at Jing disorders and how they often are

related to the Kidneys.

 

There is some supplement information on SCA. I know nothing about color

therapy.
