What do you know about natural or herbal healing? How can we (people with sickle cell disease) help ourselves with the benefits of herbal remedies? Mankind has used the benefits of earth's herbal remedies for centuries.
Why have we stopped?
Tamika Moseley is a mom with sickle cell trait. Her eldest child inherited sickle cell disease from both her and her husband. Rather than succumb to self-pity, self-blame or hopelessness, Tamika has chosen to be pro-active about her fight with this disease. She is fighting on the battlefield of nutrition and natural healing.
I interviewed Tamika about her new book, Sickle Cell Natural Healing:
Q. Give us some background about why you wrote this book.
A. I wrote this book because my oldest son has sickle cell disease, my youngest son and husband both has SC disease which is a milder form of the disease. At the age of 1yrs old, my oldest was hospitalized every 3-4 months with sickle cell crisis and he also received 2 blood transfusions that same year. I had to choose another avenue for my family because what was happening obviously wasn't working. I started researching natural herbs and started treating him, today it's been 3 years and 8 months and my son has not had a sickle cell crisis, nor any complications related to sickle cell.
Q. What did you know about sickle cell disease prior to writing this book?
Q. What did you know about sickle cell disease prior to writing this book?
A. All I knew about sickle cell disease is it is a very painful disease and could be fatal. And people with the trait like myself could never have any issues. Which later in life I found out not to be true, people with the trait can have problems. I almost died after my 3rd child.
Q. What have you learned?
A. I have learned so much about this disease, how a person doesn't make enough red blood cells to supply oxygen throughout the body and in turns how dangerous this can be; leading to organ damage, strokes and a host of other complications as well. that sickle cell disease can be controlled with herbs. Herbs have been around since the beginning of time and is good for so many things, herbs can heal so many sicknesses and diseases, we first have to have an open mind to the healing power of herbs.
Q. How can this book help others?

Q. How can this book help others?
A. This book can help others be aware that there are other avenues to take when dealing with sickle cell. I wanted to tell my story because at one time; I was that person in and out of the ER on a regular basis with my son; but not anymore. I was that person having pain crisis in both legs and both arms and near death. I understand how hurtful, emotional, heartbreaking this is when you have a loved one suffering and there is nothing you can do about it. I want people to know that they don't have to suffer, they don't have to be in pain, they can live healthy and happy lives with sickle cell. Bringing awareness to people globally that herbs can minimize crisis and hospital visits. Also minimize the number of deaths.
Q. What is the one thing you want readers to remember?
