*HEALING TIPS FOR SICKLE CELL ANEMIA PATIENTS*

Prof. Gilbert Ezengige

TIGER NUTS (CYPERUS ESCULENTUS) Eating it as a snack or blending it into milk supports red blood cell function. It is rich in magnesium, potassium and arginine, the later promotes nitric oxide which is a vasodilator (blood vessel dilator) needed during vaso-occlusive crises.

BITTER LEAF (VERNONIA AMYGDALINA)This plant has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hematinic (blood-building) properties. Try using little juice extract regularly to help reduce frequency of crises. Also enjoy bitter leaf soup regularly 😊.

PALM KERNEL OIL
Consider applying it to the skin and/ or consume in small amounts with your food. Because it is rich in lauric acid and antioxidants, it improves blood viscosity (helps your blood moves smoothly) and supports immune modulation.

ZANTHOXYLUM ZANTHOXYLOIDES (FAGARA) This popular chew sticks known as Fagara root or as Orinata in Yoruba possesses anti-sickling properties. It helps your red blood cells stay round and flexible. Even if you can’t prepare it as a decoction, perhaps because you are not a trained botanical medicine practitioner, at least you can use it as your chew sticks frequently.

PAWPAW LEAF Extract Take a little of the juice. Research shows that pawpaw leaves increase platelet and hemoglobin count aside from protecting the liver (important for SCA patients with frequent transfusions or iron overload).
TROPICAL ALMOND (TERMINALIA CATAPPA) The yellow leaves of this plant (just before they fall) popularly called “fruit tree” or Umbrella tree in Nigeria promotes blood production, prevents sickled-shaped red blood cells from forming and help revert them to normal shape. The leaves also help to fight oxidative stress, body damage from too many harmful particles called free radicals. This is a major issue in SCA that damages cells. The plant is also rich in useful phytochemicals and has analgesic action.
SORGHUM BICOLOR LEAF SHEATH EXTRACT (POROPORO) The leaf sheath extract reduces frequency of sickling and improves the integrity of red blood cells. You may take...

SORGHUM BICOLOR LEAF SHEATH EXTRACT (POROPORO)

The leaf sheath extract reduces frequency of sickling and improves the integrity of red blood cells. You may take an herbal preparation of it.

Other helpful drinks include ZOBO (sweetened with date) and KUNU.

Expose yourself to MODERATE SUNSHINE daily during the day. At night and in cold weather try to KEEP WARM since scientific studies have established that vasoconstriction due to cold triggers crises in many SCA individuals.

As much as possible, TRY SLEEPING ON THE LEFT SIDE as it improves blood flow to the heart, spleen, liver and stomach. It reduces the chances of nocturnal hypoxia (low oxygen in your blood during sleep) which can trigger sickle cell crises.

Please note that herbal/ nutritional remedies are best prescribed by naturopathic physicians and clinical herbalists. When in doubt, contact a licensed natural health practitioner.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LOCAL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS TO SUPPLY YOU WITH THE DAILY MAXIMUM VITAMINS AND MINERALS THAT YOUR BODY REQUIRES? ENTER UGU, WATERLEAF, GUAVA AND SOURSOP.

Prof Gilbert Ezengige

One of my nutritional medicine students in a College I lectured as a guest speaker called me today enquiring what one can reliably use as an effective replacement to daily multimineral/multivitamin supplements. I did not hesitate a second to mention two important vegetables and two very useful fruits as answers to her question. They are UGU, WATERLEAF, GUAVA and SOURSOP.

Taking a generous amount of at least one or those items daily will ensure that you won’t run short of supply of the necessary major vitamins and minerals that your body requires to function adequately.

UGU is rich in Vitamin A precursor, B-complex, C, E, K with magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, potassium. These are the very significant nutrients in it; it has so many others too.

WATERLEAF contains high amount of Vitamin A precursor, B-complex, C, E, manganese, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus and potassium.

SOURSOP contains, in large amount, Vit C, B1, B2 and B3. Also copper, magnesium and potassium.

GUAVA is renowned for its exceptional nutrients including; Vitamin C (more than Oranges), Vitamin A precursor, B-complex and E. It is also rich in major minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Please note that these 4 super plants contain other important minerals and vitamins aside from the ones mentioned. I only highlighted the ones that are in very large quantity in them.

In addition, these 4 super items contain wonderful healing phytochemicals including lycopene, flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, tannins etc.

GREEN, YELLOW OR BROWN PAWPAW LEAVES?

On the average, the green leaves of pawpaw have more digestive enzymes like papain. Good for digestion, liver and gall bladder.

Yellow leaves are richer in flavonoids and carotenoids making it to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. (I teach my herbal medicine students about these phytochemicals and their functions).

The brown leaves
have greater Tannins (another phytochemical), they have greater astringent effect, could check diarrhea and dysentery for example. They also have greater antimicrobial properties.

From the above, you can understand why Yellow/ Brown pawpaw leaves are mostly utilized in feverish conditions; they have more antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties than green leaves. They also have more antipyretic actions to go with.
