Sikcell: People living with Sickle Cell

We still Hope

Eating properly

I'm having a couple health problems and I need some advice. First problem is the doctor says my liver enzymes are high and I need to get a bunch of test done. I did some research and found out its a lack of vitiman d which is bad. Number 2 is hemroids or blood in my stool which can be a ulcer or possibly even cancer. I used to smoke and drink socially only meaning only once or twice a week but I've stopped due to health reasons. I'm asking what foods do I have to make sure I eat with sickle cell? I don't have the full thing I hav thallessmia.

Please advise

The main foods you need to avoid are red meats which is hard b/c even though they tell us our iron is soooo high we can still have too less of it. Just avoid red meats such as burgers, steaks...

that only applies to the people who take iron pills, other than that, if iron overload is not an issue, u can eat red meats. i eat it quite often.

Hello Mike,

First of all there is plenty you can do to help yourself...

You and every SCD patient should know that there is very little you can do to decrease your liver enzymes, WHY?

The average lifespan of a blood cell in a normal person is about 120 days.... NORMAL PERSON!

A person with SCD or other related illness has a blood cell lifespan of about 20 days... Your liver is working overtime just to keep up with the process and that is why you will ALWAYS have a elevated liver enzyme.... worst if you have a missing spleen or gallbladder,,,, Can you help?

YES... HOW?

Give your body aid or help in creating and maintaining new HEALTHY CELLS!

(1) Take a Sublingual tablet that consist of B12, B6, and Folate... some are unable to convert the synthetic forms so always try to get the body ready form (no conversion needed). Here is the BEST I have seen...

(2) Hydrate well, Drink natural spring water and consider Rooibos Tea as it is much more potent than gatorade without the sugar and no caffeine. Rooibos can protect hemoglobin levels and aid the liver...

(3) Inflammation and Infection are "The REAL KILLERS" !!!

Just about ALL,,, Everyone with a Disease or Cancer is usually Taken out by one or both of these and NOT the ILLNESS itself. The illness was just a "breeding Ground" or Host for the problem.

YOU MUST CONTROL BOTH TO LIVE!.... Consider this,

Fish oil or Salmon oil with CoQ10 or Astaxanthin will help control any inflammation.

Oregano oil and Moringa will control just about all Infections... Moringa is better than most multivitamins.

Ecklonia cava (More Potent) or Resveratrol if you still have any pain after about a month.

(4) You MUST KEEP Electrolytes on board, take a Good mineral complex along with D3 and K2...

Or use MORINGA...

Your Body NEED SALT... REAL SALT (over 72 elements)

Table salt (1 element)... Trash the table salt and make sure you use REAL SALT, at least a pinch each morning to keep this must have Electrolyte on-board.
