“I'm so so thankful for this. What I learned here is heavy on me. Thank you so much...”
Is this Sickle Cell Trait? Or something else?

Maybe this is you:

You deal with pain without injury; fatigue without exertion; and strange things happen with your body the older you get.

Your doctor ran every test - on paper, you’re 100% healthy.

You know, or suspect, you have Sickle Cell Trait. But when you seek medical help about it?

Crickets...

Every medical professional you see sounds like a broken record:

Maybe you’ve been diagnosed with one of these conditions, with ZERO biomarkers backing up the diagnosis:

Fibromyalgia
Idiopathic Edema
Osteoarthritis
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Asthma
[insert random condition here]

Sickle Cell Trait Carriers are bombarded with this messaging.

Information explaining Sickle Cell Trait symptoms is limited.

Only doctors & scientists who understand the  technical jargon can access the research that is out there.

Do a web search on sickle cell TRAIT and 90% of results are for Sickle Cell ANEMIA.

But why is sickle cell trait 'never' the root cause of symptoms? 

Stress

Institutions made Sickle Cell Trait the scapegoat for their racist aims, stifling the growth and potential of our elders.

But why is sickle cell trait 'never' the root cause of symptoms? 

In the past 20 years, 15+ young athletes lost their life to SCT.

Many Trait carriers are medically aged an extra 20 - 30 years. 40 year-olds with cataracts. Teenagers with necrosis in their joints...

..lives and careers are cut short, though it could be avoided.

Farron Dozier Story

“In September 2006, I was at the Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course (ANCOC), working toward my Master Sergeant rank.

During a physical fitness test at Camp Roberts, CA, I completed the two-mile run but collapsed shortly afterward.

I was rushed to receive medical care, experiencing severe muscle pain, extreme fatigue, and difficulty recovering.

The diagnosis? Rhabdomyolysis — a condition where muscle fibers break down and release toxins into the bloodstream, potentially leading to kidney failure.

At the time, I had no idea that my Sickle Cell Trait had predisposed me to this condition. It was a life-changing moment that forced me to confront the risks associated with my physical training and my own health.”

If he was educated about SCT, maybe his career would not have been cut short.
