21 December
I have been eating a
diet high in thiocyanate, mainly lentils, chickpeas, plantains, and bananas,
but I have also been feeling quite tired. I suppose I haven’t been eating
enough greens so I will remedy that later today by buying String Beans. I have
also been eating a lot of eggs because they are packed with nutrients.
Yesterday I did some research
and came across a blog where a woman talks about taking care of her son who has
SC. I commented asking what she uses and below is what she described.
Hi,
Have you had any crisis while eating this diet? I
just find the herbs work so much more better for my son. I give him Liquid
Chlorophyll, Nattokinase-Serrapeptase, I get LC from Sprouts or you can also
find at Whole Foods. I get the Nattokinase-Serrapeptase from one of the local
natural health stores in the neighborhood. I also give him Folic Acid/B6/B12,
this come in one bottle and dissolves in your mouth, I get this from the
natural health store as well. And lastly the Beet root juice, i get from
Sprouts. So LC helps raise hemoglobin, increases oxygen, builds red blood
cells, detoxes the kidney and Nattokinase prevents the blood from clotting up
and sticking together. It helps the blood to flow in the most natural state,
getting rid of all the bad protein and toxins in the blood. the Beet juice is
good for the blood and raising hemoglobin as well. I've had GREAT success using
this combination. I can rely on only food right now with my son because he's
just 4 and he's not going to eat enough leafy green vegetables that will
prevent him from having crisis so it's easier to put in his juice, this way I
know he's getting all the nutrients he need to prevent crisis. Also we stopped
eating processed foods, we eat lots of fruits and veggies but that's good you
are eating the foods you are eating by all means still eat those foods but you
may need more herbs to completely help the situation..
Take care.
I don’t know about
finding these things in France, but I will try to get my hands on them. I feel
like my whole life has been a quest for normal living, and my diet now feels
more normal, but I would like to be even more normal. I will keep searching,
keep trying, and keep documenting. Natural is definitely the way to go. If I
had listened to my doctors, I would definitely have been dead already because
the pain is just unbearable at times, and for them to have told me that
drinking lots of water and taking painkillers when necessary was the only thing
I could do was incredibly false. I should also try to get the word out as much
as possible about Thiocyanate and eating a healthy diet because this is
changing my life for the better and I want those changes to continue and to
expand for everyone suffering from this horrible disease.
Here’s the plan.
Today I ordered Liquid Chlorophyll from Amazon.co.uk. I will add this to my
diet and keep it for a month. Seeing how I feel from there, I will look into
adding Nattokinase-Serrapeptase to
my diet. I will keep record, maybe not daily, but will keep record of how I
feel. Right now I feel tired, as if my eyes are half open, as if there is a bit
of a strain behind my eyes. I am hoping that will clear up in a few days, and I
am sure I feel that way because my diet is not varied enough. With these
results in hand, I will begin to share my findings with others who have sickle
cell, especially my cousins in Florida who are often sick.
Today
I am adding carrot juice to my diet, and will be eating a more variegated diet
from now on. I may keep a record of the foods I eat.
