Sickle Cell Warriors and Malaria: What You Must Know to Stay Safe - Von T. Apochi (Geneticist)

Image
Malaria is very dangerous for people with sickle cell. It doesn’t just cause fever, it can trigger severe pain crises because the infection and treatment put stress on red blood cells, making them sickle and block blood flow. I have encountered patience who do this dangerous practice of treating malaria like they are feeding a plant with routine fertilizers. This is not a good thing to do. Why does this happen? Malaria breaks down red blood cells fast. Medicines like artemether-lumefantrine can also damage red cells. Fever, dehydration, and stress make sickling worse. Better Treatment Choices For severe malaria, artesunate injection works quickly and is gentler on red cells. For simple malaria, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (Duo-Cotecxin®) is effective and safer than some other pills. Always see a doctor before starting treatment . What is G6PD? G6PD is an enzyme that protects red cells. If you have G6PD deficiency, some drugs or infections can destroy your red cells, causing dangerou...

The Silent Struggle: Why More Women Than Men May Be Sexually Dysfunctional, and No One Notices - Dr. Von Apochi.

Image
Did you know that sexual dysfunction is not just a “man's issue”? In fact, more women than men silently suffer from it, but unlike men, the signs are far easier to miss. Here’s why: while erectile dysfunction (ED) in men is visibly noticeable when the penis fails to achieve or maintain an erection due to lack of blood flow, female sexual dysfunction (FSD) often hides behind smiles, excuses, or forced moans. Many women, even in their 30s, experience vaginal dryness, low libido (sexual desire), and an inability to achieve arousal or orgasm, yet they may not even realize they are dealing with a medical condition. In numerous clinical investigations, we've found that women can be sexually inactive not by choice but by physiology. When blood fails to properly circulate to the pelvic region, particularly the clitoris and vaginal tissues, it leads to dryness and numbness. Despite lubrication (artificial or natural), some women report that sexual activity feels like a chore, not a th...

Could Enlarged Adenoids in Sickle Cell Be a Natural Defense? Rethinking the Clues We Often Miss

Image
By Dr. Von Apochi - Geneticist, Clinical Research Expert, and Creator of Cell-Treat Natural® Introduction Enlarged adenoids are often dismissed as a minor ENT issue, just another cause of snoring or nasal congestion in children. But what if, in sickle cell disease (SCD), this common finding is actually a built-in survival response? Could the body be compensating for something deeper, like a failing immune organ? As someone deeply involved in hematology and natural medicine research, I believe it's time we ask: Are we misreading a signal from the immune system? Understanding the Spleen’s Role in SCD The spleen is a vital immune organ that filters the blood and clears infections, especially those caused by bacteria. In SCD, the spleen often becomes non-functional early in life due to repeated blockages in blood flow, a condition called functional asplenia (meaning the spleen is present but no longer works). Without a functioning spleen, the body loses a major immune defender. Adenoid...

Dreams, Atoms, and the Memory of Time - By Taghogho Von Apochi

Image
What if dreams are more than fleeting visions, what if they are simulations of a time machine? Each night as we sleep, our minds may be doing more than just processing the day. We may be slipping, silently, invisibly, through the very fabric of space and time. We revisit the past. We see flashes of a future not yet arrived. We talk to people we’ve never met, or those who’ve long passed on. We interact with them, feel them, and sometimes even become them in the most vivid, surreal ways. It feels real. Too real. Sometimes, we forget our dreams entirely. Yet when life plays out scenes that feel eerily familiar, we call it déjà vu. But what if it isn’t just déjà vu? What if it’s a memory from a dream, an experience your consciousness had while your body rested? This is not just fantasy for me, it’s a working theory I’ve explored for over two decades. Since 1997 in high school, I’ve been refining the idea that dreams, neurons, AI, atomic behavior, and time are all part of one larger equatio...

How I Knew That Santa Wasn't Real - EfeRazep Ramona Apochi

Image
By EfeRazep Ramona Apochi Hi! My name is EfeRazep Ramona Apochi, and I am 7 years old (turning 8 on November 9!). I go to Caleb International School in Nigeria, where I’m the class captain, and I always get A+ grades. I do karate, I’m a ballet dancer, and guess what? I’ve even helped write a book! My big brother is Igho VonEdric Apochi, and he’s the head boy in our school. So yes, my life is super exciting, but nothing is more exciting than what I’m about to tell you now. Let me take you to the day I found out the truth about Santa Claus. It was June 12th, 2025. Something really dramatic had happened, I had accidentally flushed my milk tooth down the sink! I was drinking from a bottle of water, and the tooth just plopped in, and then whoosh, down the drain it went! I was crying like I had lost treasure (because I had!). My daddy was far away in the United States, but he called me right away to calm me down. He's really good at fixing problems, like some kind of Superdad. He said, “...

Unmasking the Hidden Agenda: How a Secret Body is Manipulating Africa's Religious Landscape to Suppress Economic Growth

Image
By Taghogho Von Apochi  If I tell you this truth, will you believe it? There exists a secret body behind the surge of Pentecostal churches across Africa. Have you ever wondered why these so-called miracle pastors are often surrounded by white individuals, both on stage and behind the scenes? These individuals aren't just random supporters. They control the media teams, oversee the so-called miracle operations, and manage the spread and general governance of these churches. They report directly to headquarters, receiving funding and instructions. Now, let me ask you: What do you think the real purpose of this is?

Redefining Confraternities: Empowering Nigeria's Youth for Unity and Progress - By Taghogho Von Apochi

Image
For the record, Pyrates, NBM, Buccaneers, Eiye, Vikings, and similar organizations are not cults; they are known as confraternities. A cult is a social group defined by its unorthodox religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and practices, often centered around a charismatic leader and involving strict loyalty and control over members. A confraternity, on the other hand, is an organized group or society often associated with a religious or academic institution, formed for mutual support and communal activities, typically focusing on charitable, educational, or religious purposes. Let us see some examples: In the United States, the most influential and well-known collegiate secret societies or fraternities, often with significant power and historical impact, include: 1. Skull and Bones - Yale University (Founded in 1832) 2. Scroll and Key - Yale University (Founded in 1842) 3. The Porcellian Club - Harvard University (Founded in 1791) These organizations are known for their select...
