Black empowerment...

A special welcome to the readers of Pride Magazine

Everything on this website is applicable to Afro-Caribbean and African-American visitors – only more so …

People of African descent suffer a disproportionate amount of many chronic diseases including infertility (see Table 1).

The reason for this disparity is all but ignored by the medical profession and many who purport to be working to reduce racial inequality. Inflammation is the cause of many chronic conditions and is the result of persistent activation of the immune system. It has recently been discovered that people of African descent are genetically predisposed to have a great number of pro-inflammatory receptors – in real terms this means that they will develop inflammation faster with less provocation and greater duration.

This propensity to inflammation can be the cause of a great deal of unnecessary suffering as the cause of inflammation is now known and can be effectively dealt with using IAAP. In effect, IAAP offers even more to people of African descent, the opportunity to enjoy full mental and physical health and complete fertility.

    Table 1

     People of African descent are more likely to experience:


    ■  Heart disease - death rate up 27 percent in men, 55 percent in women
    ■  Hypertension – 200 percent higher
    ■  Diabetes – 55 percent higher
    ■  Lupus – 200-300 percent higher death rate
    ■  Cancer – 10 percent higher incidence; 20 – 40 percent higher death rate
    ■  Infertility – 200 percent higher
    ■ Perinatal death – 300 percent higher death rate in first year of life

Ex-NFL star cuts risk of stroke in half in just eight weeks.

Name: John Jacobs, ex-NFL player
Date of birth: December 1, 1972
Height: 6-5/1.96
Playing Weight: 335/152 (2001 season)


INITIAL PRESENTING PROBLEMS (September, 2005)

1. Hypertension 190/90
2. High Pulse Pressure 100
3. Excess weight 331
4. Sleep apnea Slept with breathing machine – oxygen
5. Knee damage and residual pain

PROGRESS TO DATE (following IAAP)

1, Hypertension reduced from 190/90 to 120/78
At 190/90, John was at significant risk of a stroke but after 4 weeks John’s BP had fallen to 148/80, despite the stopping of all medication. John’s blood pressure is now normal at 120/78. The pounding sensation in the head and ringing in the ears experienced prior to treatment is no longer apparent.

2. Pulse Pressure (PP) reduced from 100 – 40
A PP of 100 doubles the risk of stroke. By reducing his PP to 40, John has already more than halved that risk. PP is a direct indicator of inflammation, this reduction provides evidence that inflammation, particularly that affecting the blood vessels is significantly reduced.

3. Weight reduced from 331 to 288
The BMI (body mass index) is not strictly applicable to athletes with large amounts muscle mass but John’s BMI of 39,2 was far from healthy. His BMI has already fallen to 34.1

4. Sleep apnea - Night-time oxygen no longer required, snoring stopped
Sleep apnea doubles the risk of stroke. John is now able to sleep without his night time oxygen and has stopped snoring both indicating that the apnea is under control thus reducing the risk of stroke

5. Knee damage residual pain (which forced retirement from NFL) no longer present

 

Tara Clinkscale

Accrued benefits
■  weight loss of 24 pounds
■  cessation of migraines (previously 4-6 per month)
■  cessation of inflammatory skin problem
■  re-established ovulation
■  normal progesterone levels re-established

 

Tara presented as clinically obese with a BMI of 30.7, she was unable to ovulate, produced very low progesterone, experienced 4-6 migraine episodes a month and had an inflammatory skin condition.

After just a few weeks of treatment she lost 15 percent of her bodyweight, she began to ovulate and noticed that her skin condition was improving and her migraines had ceased. She began to ovulate regularly and soon conceived.

Tara’s baby boy, Dillan, is due on August 14.

   A cause for celebration but not a miracle …
