Palm oil is made from fruits not seeds.

Olive oil is made from fruits not seeds.

Same thing with avocado and coconut oil.

These together with butter and animal fats are the healthy oils you should use to cook,

Nothing else!

Do you know anyone living with Sickle Cell Anaemia?

Today, let’s talk a little about it.

Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic condition in which the body produces abnormally shaped red blood cells. Normally, red blood cells are round and flexible, allowing them to travel easily through blood vessels.

In sickle cell anaemia, these cells take on a rigid, crescent or sickle shape, which hinders their ability to flow smoothly and deliver oxygen efficiently to body tissues. These misshapen cells also have a shorter lifespan, leading to a chronic shortage of healthy red blood cells (anaemia).

This is an inherited disorder, passed from parents to their offspring through specific gene mutations. It is believed the mutations were as a result of adaptation to survival against malaria and areas with low oxygen levels. It is more prevalent amongst Africans, Caribbean and some parts of Europe mostly amongst Greeks.

If you have stomach and intestinal problems like ulcers, gastritis, diverticulitis, GERD etc.

Fixing your diet should be your number one priority.

By fixing your diet alone, you will see great positive changes in your health.

I also recommend cabbage & cabbage juice.

Cabbage contains glutamine which heals intestinal inflammation.

Let me share how to prepare cabbage juice with you.

First off.

You need fresh cabbage, cucumber, Carrots, coconut, and Salt.

Chop cabbages, carrots and cucumbers into small ring-like pieces.

Put in a blender and blend for a minute.

Scoop the white part of the coconut and add into the blender,

Add coconut water into the mixture

- Add salt

- Blend for 2 - 3 minutes

Lastly, engage in fasting.

Overall, your diet plays an important role in your healing.

Don't finish drinking cabbage juice and go back to eating triggering foods.

It will only result in pain.

Don't play games with your health.

Have you heard about PCOS?

Let me help you understand the Condition:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal imbalance that occurs when a woman's ovaries or adrenal glands produce an excess of male hormones (androgens). Yes, a woman normally has both male and female hormones but the male hormones are kept at a very low level for balance.

But in PCOS, as a result of the imbalance, fluid-filled sacs, known as cysts, develop on the ovaries. These cysts replace healthy ovarian cells, disrupting normal function and often causing a range of health challenges.

Women with PCOS are at a higher risk for issues like infertility, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure (hypertension).

Did you know that there are different types of Malaria?

Malaria is transferred by a specific type of mosquito - the female Anopheles mosquito. But there are different types of malaria that this tiny bug can spread. This mosquito is small but mighty!

Each type of malaria is caused by different species of a parasite carried by this mosquito. The parasites are called Plasmodium species. Proper identification of the Plasmodium species is crucial because treatment regimens vary depending on the type of malaria.

Let me also point out here that there is something called transfusion-transmitted malaria where a person can get malaria from poorly screened blood transfused into them.

[Sub-Pharmacist🍏 @subpharmacist]

Eating oily food and taking your anti-malaria medication especially the artemether/lumefantrine combination (e.g Coartem) will make it work better.
