Fighting the Stigma: Pain in Sickle Cell Disease - Roxanne11

[wjestick]

There is strong evidence that the crises are caused by the absence of a set compounds called Nitrilosides.

They are abundant in African diets, where sickle cell is common but crises are not.

Foods containing Nitrilosides include:

Cassava, Yams, Millet and seeds from most fruits.

Apple, Peach, Plum, Prune, Blackberry, Strawberry, Pear seeds contain high levels.

This substance protects against cancer as well. Include them in your diet and your problems could be over.

God Bless You

i was born with the same thing .. (im not lying like some of you..)

And the doctors and nures dont make it any better, all they do is drug me up with morphine and other narcodics until im to sleepy and drowzy to think about how much pain im going through..they do that every 3 or 4 hours around the clock ... SOME PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW BAD THIS CRAP HURTS!!!!!!

[BLINGXBABY]

Its funny how so much of this sound like my own life. I am 47 with two kids. my wife left because she can't understand nor can she deal with the constant doctor/

hospitalizations that comes with this illness. holding a job is nearly impossible

[wistleblower2]

People who are Black African, Indian, Mediterranean some Asians must have a Blood Test at age 13 or before starting to know your girl/Boy friend, The Doctor should tell you's not to get to know each other. There are two cells which should be both Normal Cells Nor/Nor. In Anemia persons it could be An/Thal. An/Nor. Nor/Thal all different level too. When you get pain its called sickle cell crisis.
