Traditional

Food is Still the Best Medicine

Dealing with

sickle cell anemia

 

by

Maureen Henry

 

 

 

My son Osita was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia. According

to Western medicine, it is an incurable, life-threatening disease, discovered

in 1910 in the United Sates. At present, Western science has very little

understanding of it.

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited anemia in which large

numbers or most of the blood cells are crescent-shaped rather than the normal

kidney shape. The sickled cells tend to clog narrow blood vessels because of

their shape. The clogging prevents blood and oxygen getting to vital organs,

causing excruciating pain in various parts of the body.

Osita's father and I both have traces of sickle cell anemia. I

have a trait of thalassaemia, another type of anemia most commonly found among

people of Mediterranean descent. Osita's father is Nigerian and I am Jamaican.

Medical science claims that genetically there is a one in four chance that any

child born to us would have anemia.

The major treatments for this condition under the Western

medical system are the administration of morphine or other pain killers,

liquids for dehydration, blood transfusion, hydroxy urea, chemotherapy,

antibiotics, flu shot, hepatitis B shot and, in extreme cases, bone marrow

transplants. Considering the toxicity and side effects of these treatments, an

informed mind would definitely seek other, less toxic methods of treatment and

control, especially for children and infants!

Contrary to the view in Western science that sickle cell anemia

is mostly a black people's problem, Dr. Oji Agbai, a Nigerian researcher living

in the United States,

has shown that sickle cell anemia is found in all races. On a per capita basis,

it is most prevalent in Greece.

Once it was confirmed that Osita did have sickle cell anemia,

we consulted homeopath Peter Quenter and herbalist Kathleen Leeson. We

explained to both practitioners what Osita had, and we began to treat all

underlying aspects of this condition that would result in complications, like

an enlarged spleen, jaundice, a lack of appetite and low hemoglobin.

We acquired the herb prickly ash bark, which has been

successfully used by the Nigerian health services. This herb is commonly known

as Fagara in Nigeria.

Prickly ash bark reduces the length and the frequency of the pain crises by up

to 75 per cent. Osita drinks this herb as tea.

Dr. Agbai's thesis is that certain people are genetically

disposed to thiocynate deficiency (a deficiency of vitamin B12-- a necessary

component to health blood cells). This deficiency causes blood cells to

" sickle, " and is the root cause of sickle cell anemia and its

resulting complications. But once this thiocynate was present in sufficient

quantity in the blood system, there is an immediate unsickling of the blood

cells and a consequent abatement of the complications that may arise.

Staple Whole Foods

 

Dr. Agbai had worked with the Nigerian health services as a nurse. In that

capacity he had observed the relative mildness of the symptoms of sickle cell

anemia as compared with what he was later to see in the United States.

His findings are that diets rich in nutritional thiocynate protected against

sickle cell anemia. This explained its mildness and rarity in many parts of

Africa, Jamaica and

elsewhere in the world where staple foods such as yams, cassava and lima pea are naturally

rich in thiocynate.

Dr. Agbai says the frequency and severity of sickle cell anemia

in America

are expressions of the nutritional poverty of American staple food, especially

regarding thiocynate. Once people with sickle cell anemia adopted a diet rich

in thiocynate-- African yams, lima beans, steamed carrots, cabbage and other

such whole non-chemically processed food-- they experience a normally healthy

life, free from the pains of that anemia's complication and at the same time

being spared the debilitating treatment used in the Western medical system to

" combat " this condition.

The Right Grains

I bought a waffle iron and we make waffles with buckwheat,

quinoa and spelt flour. Carrots are rich in

 

 

 

 

 

 

Foods Rich in Thiocynate

 

 

 

 

African yam

alfalfa sprouts

apricot

bamboo shoot

banana

bitter almond

broccoli

Brussels sprouts

buckwheat

buffalo berry

cabbage

carrot

cassava

cauliflower

cherry

chickpea

cloudberry

elderberry

 

 

flaxseed

kohlrabi

lentils

lima bean

macadamia nuts

millet

mustard green

peaches

plantain

plums

radish sprouts

raspberry

red clover

rutabaga

salmonberry

sorghum

strawberry

turnips

 

 

 

thiocynate so Osita drinks carrot and beet juice daily. He

enjoys curried lentils and rice, so I make that for dinner about three times a

week. I am gradually trying gradually trying to introduce Osita to as many

foods as he will try that are rich in thiocynate. Some he loves, some he won't eat.

I restrict the amount of the non-traditional foods, especially junk foods, soft

drinks and whatever has no nutritional value.

Usually when I take Osita out I bring food with us because I

find that he either won't eat or he wants foods that he should not have. I bake

treats from time to time, but again I focus on thiocynate-rich ingredients. He

will eat a banana cake or bead but not a buckwheat cake. He will eat combined

buckwheat and oatmeal porridge but not buckwheat porridge alone.

Because Osita dos not eat the daily required level of

thiocynate between 500-1000 mg, I have purchased a supplement from Dr. Agbai,

which he takes daily. I explained to him why he has to eat the way he does and

drink the herb teas. Although he is only two years old, he understands. As he

grows older I will teach him how to cook his meals and I will give him the

books with all the necessary information about his health for him to read.

Since Osita started his treatment, he has increased noticeably

in weight and height, contrary to the prognosis of Western medical science that

his growth and weight rate will be stunted because of his blood type. Though we

realize there may not be a way to change human blood genotypes, we are very

confident that Osita will have a bountiful and healthy life.

The times he has gone for routine check ups, the hospital staff

including the doctors, have been impressed with Osita's growth rate and energy

level, which is above the average two-year-old's. Many of the hospital staff

who have observed children with sickle cell anemia brought to the hospital over

the years have confessed to me privately that Osita is unlike other

" sickle cell patients " they have known. Indeed, many such children

are admitted for health complications at least once every two to three months.

Osita has never been admitted in the hospital.

Illness Reversed

Osita now has a healthy appetite, the jaundice which used to

plague him in the past is effectively controlled with Dr. Agbai's thiocynate

solution. he almost never gets sick, save for the occasional cold in winter

time. He has had only two very mild pain crises in the past year, and those

were gone as soon as they came. Since we put him on Dr. Agbai's thiocynate

solution and gave him the prickly ash bark tree daily, he has not had any

crisis.

Everyone who has dealt with sickle cell anemia clinically is

truly impressed with his progress. For myself, I can only be thankful that I do

not have to overload my son's system with all manner of toxic chemicals that

are routinely prescribed in the hospitals for managing this condition. I am

also thankful for Osita's life and health which are stronger every day. I have

become more appreciative of the powers of herbs, balanced nutrition, healthy

living and a positive frame of mind that will not succumb to fear and

misinformation.

Maureen's son Osita is now 5 years old and is doing

well. Maureen has been continuing his nutritional and herbal treatments. She

recently started the African

Children's Holistic Health Foundation to provide support for others

afflicted with sickle cell anemia.

Greetings Members and Sunyatta:

 

What a coincidence? The attached article is very informative and I will be passing it on to acquaintences of mine who suffer from the disease.

 

Although I don't suffer from sickle cell anemia, I have however, experienced symptoms of Vitamin B-12 deficiency off and on since becoming a raw foodist. My research is ongoing. As a matter of fact, just this morning I've printed a News Letter from the Tree of Life Foundation featuring Gabriel Cousens' update on B-12. Additionally, while I try continuously to include as many of the food items in my daily diet that are high in B-12 (and many from the list mentioned in Dr. Abai's list of foods), I find myself never without a bottle of Floradix with Iron + Herbs and Vitamins B-1, 2, 6 and 12 in my refrigerator.

 

I'm open to any other suggestions.

 

Thanks,

Elaine"dr. sunyatta amen" <dr.sunyatta wrote:
