SICKLE CELL AND INFECTIONS: How To Combat Infections Naturally

Suzzy Muke July 21, 2021

I battle with chronic lymphodema in my feet and most recently in my hands.

Because of poor circulation in the legs, sickle cell patients tend to have ulcers on their legs.

I don’t have ulcers per say but I have some pimple-like growths that ooze when my feet are super swollen.

I am a teacher so although doctors tell me to always try to keep my feet up, this is literally impossible to do.I, therefore, wear prescription compression stockings.

But these stockings are very difficult to put on by myself, and the hip replacement has made it even harder for me to do so. On most days, unless I have help, I find that I don’t put them on.

When I don’t put them on, I am required to do bandaging from feet to hip. This also isn’t easy to do by myself.

When my feet start oozing, it can very quickly lead to an infection and a crisis if I don’t stop the flow.

Sometimes, it takes me three days in bandages to get the legs to stop oozing. This makes it really hard to get out and about because I hardly have any shoes big enough to fit a bandaged foot.

Sickle cell patients take antibiotics frequently to help fight infections and prevent a crisis.

I don’t like taking antibiotics because they are too strong and destroy the gut flora.So I prefer natural options.

A few days ago, when my feet were oozing uncontrollably and I started feeling an infection setting in, I took

✅a teaspoon of olive leaf extract three times a day

✅Vit C 5000 mg daily

✅Vit d 5000 iud daily

✅2 garlic capsules twice daily

✅1 probiotic of 30 billion strength daily

( I prefer 50 billion strength but did nit have that on hand)

I followed this regimen for 3-5 days and that did the trick.

Other natural antibiotics I use to fight infections include; oregano, goldenseal, echinacea, elderberry, malcare and virid.( thé last two are herbal supplements I buy from healingblendsglobal.
