Cured of sickle cell anemia - NFCTR -

In the U.S., only half of Sickle Cell patients survive past the age of 40. A bone marrow transplant can functionally cure the disease, even though the patient still carries the gene, but few people find a matching donor. And there's significant risk associated with the transplant itself. Research at the University of Louisville is changing that and already changing young lives.

We can make a difference if we try!

My mother suffers from sickle cell, and is on disability because of it. Since she receives SSI and is on medicaid this automatically almost barres her from being able to afford the tranplant. Its sucks that the government will only keep her alive and not do what it takes to cure her.

peace to all, the final messenger of God said "in the black seed oil there is cure for EVERY disease except death" so for sickle cell get some black seed oil and take it as a daily supplement.
