Sickle Cell Anaemia

Today happens to be the world sickle cell day. A very displeasing disease caused by the parent of the affected patient because of the negligence or ignorance of the parent to know their genotype before they start making babies.

Sickle cell is an hereditary disease which result in the abnormal shape of the hemoglobin in the red-blood cell. In this condition they are insufficient  healthy red blood cell. Normally the red blood cells are flexible and round with the ability to move freely through your blood vessels. In the case of the sickle cell the shape looks like a crescent moon or a sickle for harvesting in the farm.

 Sickle

They become sticky and rigid and block small blood vessels thereby obstructing somebody part from getting oxygenated. The block in the blood vessels cause some pains called sickle cell crisis (SCC).This pain sometimes last for hours or days depending on the patient. Some could experience lots of crisis in a year and some could be hospitalize because of the crisis.






The normal lifespan of red blood cell is about 120 days but for sickle cell it is just 20 days, which hinder the hemoglobin the oxygen carrying protein found in the red blood cell from transporting oxygen to the body thereby hindering the production of energy to the body through respiratory Kreb cycle leading to stunted growth.

 The world Sickle cell day was first celebrated in 19th June 2009 by the United Nation. This was done to create an awareness about the disease.  The pain in which the parents of Sickle Cell patients caused them could have been spared if they were properly guided before choosing to get married. According to genetics technology, they are three major genes that could be responsible for Sickle Cell which are generally called genotype. They are the AA, AS, and SS. Those with SS genes are those affected with Sickle cell anaemia, people with the AS genes are carriers while those with AA are non carriers. The Carriers (AS) in order to avoid chances of giving birth to a sickle cell patient, they should do everything humanly possible not to mate with a carrier or a sickle cell patient. Love could be blind but reasonable and un-blinded love stand the test of time ease pain.

Ear Barotrauma (Airplane ears).

The ear is one of the most important sense organs of the human body and could be very inconvenient if one gets really troubled with it. The ear is divided into three parts: the outer part, middle and the inner part. The pressure between the out and the inner ears must be balance to cause inconveniences. Ear Barotrauma is a disturbance experience especially when one boards the airplane. It might not be that common but to a certain percentage, it disturbs the ear drum. It occur when there is a change in pressure when one is in the air or water. It is commonly experience during scuba diving in water or in the  airplane when one  ascend or descend the air.   This is different from ear tinnitus which is a symptom of some underlying disease, this could be controlled by little exercise before boarding the airplane or scuba diving.

TCM Nigeria

TCM Nigeria according to this blog simply means traditional Chinese medicine, practiced in Nigeria. Unlike other websites which focus on cables and cable connectors like RJ45, RJ11 cable connectors. These are connectors that help computers and telephones communicate. The RJ45 connector can be crimped in two ways, we have the straight through crimping which allow computer network devices to communicate along a network and a crossover cable crimp which only allows two computers to communicate with one another. Networking is a big feed of ICT and tcmnigeria.net have tons of details on it. But this website focuses on traditional or alternative Nigerian practice to getting well and preventing illness. We explore  Phytotherapy  and the way it is administered in Nigeria for healthier living. One of the most common tree found in Nigeria is the  moringa oleifera  tree which is a very good remedy for crashing blood sugar and it is very nutritious. It helps prevent  noma disease  which is on

Phytotherapy and myth

Writing this post close to Christmas tempts me to remind us about the Black Friday promotion of Jumia online store. The TCM app is linked to Jumia and konga store and many people from our app corner had been complaining about how expensive some of the product we recommend on our blog and app is. Jumia's Black Friday is long and it would be discounting 80% off all the product you buy from  the 13th of this month till the 13th of next month. So looking for an opportunity to get traditional products at rock bottom price, now is the time. There is a popular believe among trado-medicine that there is no ailment which nature haven't provided a solution for; it's just for man to research. Phytotherapy also called herbalism is a natural way of treating ailment by using herbs. If you are a good reader of our post, you would notice we had been discussing African traditional medicine. We had discussed bitter kola, moringa, dogonyaro, bitter leaf. I wanted to talk about ginger toda
