The Fight of Faith! (I struggled and I prayed for two years and I beat Anemia)

MY HELP COMES FROM… THE LORD

In February 2020, a scary incident, life threatening incident , but I did not know it and neither did any 

of the doctors nor the staff at the Hospital ER. One moment, I was standing in a friend’s kitchen and the next moment, I was lying on the ground. I felt life drain-out of me, I fainted and had to be rushed to the Hospital. 

Sadly, I never fully recovered. I had episodes of feeling exhausted, being lightheaded, and I started to lose my hair. My doctor did not understand my symptoms, nor did I.  However, God Almighty understood everything. In July, I changed my prayer to say,

“Lord help me to eat foods which are healthy for my body.”

 God put beef and black beans in my spirit. For several weeks, I ate beef ( which treated my Anemia, but Made my fibroid bigger) and black beans as I was directed to by God and led by my Holy Spirit. One morning, I felt a lump under my stomach. My doctor requested a CT scan, along with additional testing which helped her to diagnose me with fibroids (which is a non- cancerous tumor), anemia, and gallbladder stones. All of my health issues can be linked back to living by my flesh for so many years, as well as genetics. The fibroids which caused a heavy menstrual cycle, led to my symptoms such as exhaustion, lightheadedness, and hair loss all due to anemia. The miracle is, the beef and black beans were treating my low iron (anemia), but the beans were also helping to destroy the fibroids. God is good all the time. I was so overwhelmed, I praised GOD for taking such good care of me.

 I felt so much better knowing what was going on with my body… until I realized that I might have to have surgery… I had to wait for my doctor OBGYN,( obstetrician-gynecologist)

to figure out a course of action to treat the fibroids, which caused the Anemia.

There were moments in my state of being sick that I struggled as I battled this chronic sickness, that is when I felt slayed by the Lord because I wanted an instant miracle. The battle ended the WAY it should and I was able to see God's mighty hand and his glory. I was able to see that God is a healer. obeying God's commandments, so all can be well with you, means, obedience saves.  God did his part and I had to do my part by completing research to figure out what was good for my body and why? Wasn’t the normal treatment working for me.

In my season of sickness, many tears did I cried, I was tired, and sometimes afraid, but my family loved me and God guided me, so now I am still here today.

Psalm 121:2 (KJV)

“My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.”

Reading: James 5:15-16

Foods that block Iron absorption, foods that slow the body's ability to absorb iron so Waiting about 90-120 minutes after eating iron before eating or consuming the follow items: the list is below:

Waiting about 90-120 minutes after eating iron before eating or consuming the follow items:

includes: Turmeric, (Mustards has Turmeric in it and so do some pickles) additional search is needed.

Calcium blocks Iron absorption: so please note that Garlic will block Calcium being absorbed into the body. so you can consume Iron without the interference of calcium. Some evidence shows that it hinders iron absorption, regardless of whether the source is a dairy product or calcium supplement.

 Tea, coffee, and Wine:

Phytate, or phytic acid, is found in foods like whole grains, cereals, soy, nuts and legumes. Even a small amount of phytate can significantly decrease iron absorption.

Polyphenols are found in various amounts in plant foods and beverages, including vegetables, fruits, some cereals and legumes, tea, coffee and wine.

Coffee and tea, both of which are widely consumed around meals, have a high content of polyphenols, and they have been shown to inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron. 

Tips to Get Enough Iron

The tips below can help you maximize your dietary iron intake:

• Eat lean red meat: This is the best source of easily absorbed heme iron. Eating it several times per week can help if you are deficient.

• Eat chicken and fish: These are also good sources of heme iron. Eat a variety of them.

• Consume vitamin C-rich foods: Eat vitamin C-rich foods during meals to increase the absorption of non-heme iron. For example, some lemon juice drizzled over leafy greens will increase the amount you absorb.

• Avoid coffee, tea or milk near meals: Avoid these during meals that contain iron-rich foods. Have your coffee or tea between meals instead.

• Choose foods rich in non-heme iron: If you don’t eat meat and fish, include plenty of iron-rich plant foods in your diet.

• SUMMARY: To maximize your iron intake, try to include meat, fish, poultry, beans and lentils in your diet, as well as vitamin C-rich foods during your meals. Also, spread out your tea, coffee and dairy intakes between meals.

Meningitis: can be treated with Turmeric, Ginger, cayenne pepper, onion, cinnamon and vinegar 👍, but Medical Attention is still needed.

Meningitis is an infection and swelling, called inflammation, of the fluid and membranes

around the brain and spinal cord. These membranes are called meninges.

Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) that cover the brain and spinal cord. 

Causes: 

Meningitis can be caused by various factors, including: 

• Bacteria: Most commonly, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis.

• Viruses: Enteroviruses, herpes simplex virus

• Fungi: Cryptococcus neoformans

• Parasites: Toxoplasma gondii 

Symptoms: 

The inflammation from meningitis most often triggers symptoms such as headache,

fever and a stiff neck, confusion, and seizures.

Viral infections are the most common cause of meningitis in the United States. Bacteria,

parasites and fungi also can cause it. Sometimes meningitis improves in a few weeks

without treatment. But meningitis also can cause death. It often needs quick treatment

with antibiotics.

Seek medical care right away if you think that you or someone in your family has meningitis.

For meningitis caused by bacteria, early treatment can prevent serious complications.

• improved motor function, as well as can lower blood sugar by several mechanisms.

• Cinnamaldehyde, one of the main active components of cinnamon,

• may be beneficial against various kinds of infection.

cayenne pepper:   

Just one 45-gram chili pepper provides 72% of this nutrient. Like vitamin A,
