ANEMIA

21 YEA
1 BETTER BUT NOT CURED
2 WARNINGS!

[YEA]  10/11/2006: Kati from Traverse City, MI writes: "I am extremely Anemic, especially during that time of month. I have tried Iron pills and Iron efficient foods such as spinach, but nothing really helped. So I looked in a natural cure book and I found out that pure black strap molasses has a high Iron proficiency so I mixed two heaping tablespoons of molasses in a glass with 16 oz of cold milk. I drank this concoction once or twice a day. It gave me so much energy and I didn't feel so sluggish during that time of month. Plus This molasses drink tastes so good (Much better than taking it straight), and just as effective. the sad part is pure black strap molasses is kind of expensive so I am not able to take it all the time. I would appreciate it if someone knows where I could get pure molasses for a cheap price to post it on this site, as I visit it frequently to find different cures."

[YEA]  07/10/2006: Loreeli from Brodhead, WI writes: "I have been extremely anemic most of my life. When I was pregnant they gave me the iron pills and they will constipate you and are not even a good source of iron. I got on the House of herbs black strap molasses and it made such a difference. It has 70% iron and I haven't found any other with such high content. I lost a baby and they wanted me to have a blood transfusion, but I didn't want to so instead to build my blood back up fast, I used the black strap molasses. I was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and rheumatoid arthritis and am more anemic with the disease and recently I have been so fatigued and in reading about my disease and realizing I was just extremely anemic, I got the molasses out and instantly, I felt better in my head and had more energy. I have now ran out of it and have not been able to find the House of Herbs kind anywhere. This is why I got on here and if anybody can tell me where to order it, I would sure appreciate it. It is a life saver and the difference between feeling good and not. Thank you!"

08/05/2009: Red7587 from Brooklyn, Ny replies: "the address for the house of herbs is Passaic, NJ 07055"

10/18/2009: Lisa from Gt Cacapon, Wv replies: "To one of the readers that had a miscarraige and rhuematoid arthritus and osteoporosis and severe anemia; and in fact, to all of you on this website that have unexplained anemia. Please look up and research thoroughly Celiac Disease. Celiac is a autoimmune response to gluten found in wheat, barley and rye. Just for pure knowledge (because few drs ever mention it), it is fascinating. I stumbled upon it myself and have 2/3rds of the symptoms. The major symptom is unexplained anemia. The number of diseases it's associated with is astonishing. Also google things like: 'testimonials of people who stopped eating wheat' and versions of testimonials. It's enlightening. Wishing you all good health. Note: This site is great. I'm going to frequent it! -L"

[YEA]  07/04/2006: Janet from Hot springs, AR writes: "I take a tblsp of blackstrap in the morning and "chase it" with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, with the mother in it, with 3 tablespoons of warm water. In 1994, I was diagnosed with metatastic breast cancer at the age of 53. I had my femur replaced, took 10 radiation treatments and 6months of chemo. I have been on this regimen and KNOW that these things are from GOD made ingredients and, therefore, have kept me well. I have always been a borderline anemic. My blood counts are better than they have EVER been in my entire life. I believe if I had been doing these things for myself BEFORE I got cancer that I would NOT have had cancer in the first place."

03/12/2009: Elaina from Seattle, WA replies: "Amen sista! I'm gonna try this. I'm snooping around this blog because I have fibroids and heavy bleeding. I don't know the exact passage, but this totally makes sense. Somewhere in the old testament, God tells us not to separate (process our foods) the wholeness of the foods he made for us. And I know from my research about minerals, is anytime you eat processed foods where the ingredients are separated, those foods go "seeking" their separated co-factors or "buddies" which are the minerals that are no longer with them. So when you eat them, they PULL those minerals out of your body. So eating refined white flour, white rice, and white sugar will DEPLETE your body of nutrients. Since molasses is the stuff that's been separated, makes sense to me that putting it back in is what your body needs."

10/10/2009: Tuesday from Indianapolis, In replies: "I had very heavy periods so much so that I had to leave work. I tried bsm at 1 pm and by 5 pm I wasn't running to the bathroom every 15 minutes anymore. Can you please tell me what brand you use and how you take it. I was taking wholesome foods brand organic unsulfured. I was taking it like cough syrup and now I am putting it in my milk."

11/15/2009: Matlock from Mcallen, Tx replies: "Tuesday, you might have your thyroid checked as lack of iodine and a malfunctioning thyroid cause heavy periods."

[YEA]  05/18/2006: Delann from Chewelah Washington writes: "my iron levels were dangerously low, my doctor had me taking 40,000mls. a week of procrit and 975mlgs. daily iron supplements. after 2 months of this i had been told that i was going to have to restart my iron treatments again. so instead of putting all those chemicals into my system again, i started drinking a glass of warm milk with 3tblspn of molasses every day. I am happy to report that after 3 weeks of this my iron levels and energy levels have steadily improved."

[YEA]  01/30/2006: Jan from TX writes: "One teaspoon daily dipped and dripping with Blackstrap Molasses (House of Herbs 70% iron content) totally eliminated my anemia, dizziness and fatigue. I drink it in hot water or eat it straight off the spoon. If I forget to take it or run out, all symptoms return within days."

[YEA]  Wanda from Memphis, TN writes: "I have tried the blackstrap molasses and it's wonderful. I'm anemic and have to take iron pills once a day. I haven't taken them in almost 3 weeks since I been using the blackstrap molasses. I'm full of energy and my fingernails are growing strong. I don't suffer with constipation anymore or irregular bowel movements."

ANXIETY

1 YEA

[YEA]  08/21/2005: Victoria from US Viirgin Islands writes: "I was suffering from anxiety -- was afraid of traveling by myself and after drinking black strap molasses I was able to travel to switzerland all by myself without any fear."

ARRHYTHMIA

2 YEA

[YEA]  06/07/2007: Renee from El Dorado, Kansas writes: "I too found Molasses an instant treatment for my heart problem. Every night my heart has a delayed beat (confirmed with overnight monitor) but doctor gave me no treatment beyond giving up caffiene. While that helps, it doesn't totally eliminate it and I admit no caffiene is difficult for me.

After the first day of 2 Tbls Molasses, I sleep through the night with no problems. And this is such a relief as it really is extremely scarey to awaken to no heart beat, over and over and over."

[YEA]  10/11/2006: Peg from Omaha, NE writes: "I was low on potassium, and having heart arrhythmia because of it. 1 tbs each morning, and occasionally another tsp in the early evening keeps it away!"

ARTHRITIC PAIN

3 YEA

[YEA]  05/29/2008: Joyce from Chippewa Lake, Ohio writes: "Since I started taking 1 TBS of Blackstrap molasses each morning, I am no longer plagued with intense arthritis pain in my knee. Some times I feel a little pain once in bed for the night, and get up and take another tablespoon, and this pain subsides within 20 minutes, as if I had taken a pain pill. I'm a believer in it."

[YEA]  05/22/2008: Joyce from Chippewa Lake, Ohio writes: "I saw one comment from someone on blackstrap molasses for arthritis. I had been up every night in pain, particularly in one knee. The first day I ate 1 Tbs. of blackstrap molasses, and the pain was completely gone. I take it every day. If I go to bed and have a little pain in my knee, instead of pain medicine, I have another Tbs. of the molasses, and the pain subsides in 20 minutes. My uncle was a chiropractor who was into holistic medicine, and use to tell us that there are many benefits of Blackstrap molasses."

[YEA]  Jan writes: "Two weeks of two tablespoons each morning have reduced the arthritic pain in my knees. Does anyone else have knowledge of black strap molasses working on arthritis?"

BLOOD COUNT INCREASE

1 YEA

[YEA]  11/18/2009: Jeanette from Ripley, Ms, USA writes: "For the past several months, my mother has had to have 1 to 2 units of blood every week. She started eating blackstrap molasses and has not had to have any blood in the last 18 days. She has her blood count checked every Monday and Thursday. Since she has started eating the molasses, her blood count has gone up each time she has been tested.

My question is "Does the molasses thicken her blood?" Because if it does, her chance of having a stroke is going up. By the way, there is nothing wrong with her blood. She is just losing blood through her bowels."

CANCER

3 YEA

[YEA]  03/11/2009: Geraldine from Fort Lauderdale, Florida writes: "Yes, the exact measurments are MOST important, and I think this is why some people reporting to you of their problem with blackstrap molasses is that they use too much molasses and too little water. Blackstrap Molasses has CURED many cases of cancer, some of the "incurable" terminal cases.

In the book by Cyril Scott, "Crude Black Molasses" many cases of curing cancer are reported. All followed the exact manner of taking the molasses which is not recommended for anyone with diabetes. The method for curing cancer is one teaspoonful in a cup of hot water: then cold water should be added "so as to make two-thirds of a cupful." This to be taken at one's convenience at any time; persons with deicate stomachs should take a smaller dose of molasses more often throughout the day."

For severe cases such as for cancerous growth, molasses should be taken last thing at night and on rising as well as during the day."

Do not drink it too hot, and drink it lesisurely not in big gulps. It is more easily assimilated in hot water; (bladder troubles have occurred simply after drinking drafts of cold water when one is overheated.) As reported, even terminal cases after surgery for cancer have been cured by this method of
taking blackstrap molasses ( one teaspoon bsm, mixed with 1 cup hot water, then adding cold water making 2/3 a cup, drinking leisurely many times a day.)"

03/12/2009: Gean from Salina, KS replies: "Please clarify the measurements. Did you mean add 1 tsp. molasses to 1/2 cup hot water, then add cold water to make 2/3 cup? Thank you."

09/01/2009: Harriet from Federal Way, Wa replies: "I, too, would like clarification on the measurements. If it is very important to use exact measurements what was stated by Geraldine is inexact. One cannot have 1 cup of something and at more of something else to equal less than the original amount. Please clarify!"

09/01/2009: Gean from Salina, Ks replies: "I have wondered what these measurements mean, and looking at it again it seems to mean the following: Put a little hot water in a cup (to easier dissolve the molasses), mix in one teaspoon black strap molasses, then add enough cold water to make 2/3 cup. Drink several of these per day, leisurely, not gulped down. This seems to make sense to me, in case the original writer of the post does not respond."

[YEA]  Glen from St. Mary\'s Newfoundland writes: "A friend of mine who's dog was riddled with cancerous tumors gave him black strap molasses each day for a month. she took him back to the Veterinarian and the cancer and tumor were gone! Her mother, who was a medicine woman in the hills of West Virginia suggested she do this as the ancient egyptians used the remedy for consumption (cancer)."

[YEA]  Pam from UK writes: "my daughter was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor 13 years ago. i was told she had not long to live . i gave her black molasses after reading a book. last week she was told the tumor was still there but had not grown in 13 years."

01/12/2009: JC from San Antonio, Texas replies: "First I am not a doctor or medically trained professional but this info is from personal experiences. I have also heard success stories from other people and a few doctors that have had patients tell them they have done the same thing. We have a family friend that had prostate cancer and was told by his doctor that if he didnt begin aggresive chemo treatment immediately he would only have 3-6 months to live. He refused becuase he didnt want to endure this torture and began to seek new treatments. He began drinking organic barley green grass 3 times a day, ate less red meat and ate more veggies. A few weeks later he went to the doctor again and the doctor was amazed at the result and told him I dont know what you are doing but I want you to keep it up because it seems to be helping you. This was almost 2 years ago and he is doing extremely well. This has also worked to help shrink fibroids. Barley green is known for removing harmfull toxins from your body. You may want to drink Organic Barley Green Grass powedered/granules Not In Pill Form. You can mix it with water or apple juice but nothing acidic (no orange or lemon juice), nothing with caffeine."

02/26/2009: Mark from Las Vegas, NV replies: "The best and most proven cure for cancer is the Budwig Diet. Cottage cheese mixed with flax oil bended together with a hand blender. Google "budwig diet" Also coconut oil as well is also known to cure cancer."

CANKER SORES

1 YEA

[YEA]  09/09/2006: Celia from Toronto, Ontario Canada writes: "I'm a dental hygiene student, and one of my instructors told me to try putting black strap molasses directly on my canker sores (i get them all the time! grrr!). I tried it last night and today they're nearly gone! it's a miracle cure, and I can't believe how well it worked! You've gotta try it!"

CARPAL TUNNEL

2 YEA

[YEA]  02/24/2007: Claire from London, UK writes: "This is g8 stuff .I had a big problem with carpal syndrome some nights i could not sleep cause of the pain. Searched on the internet for any ideas came across this site and read reviews. Next day brought some BSM (Black Strap Molasses). Took a tablespoon before i ate every morning and another before i slept. After a few days the pain in my arm was not so severe. Within a month the pain disappeared.Also my husband noticed that i had lost weight. Maybe this was due to taking bsm (black strap molasses) . i continued to take it and in 6 months i have lost 3 stone. I think the bsm stopped my craving for sugar and also i didn't feel hungry.So overall, a wonderful medicine with loads of vitamins and minerals. recommend it to anyone.feel g8, hair is shiny. nails strong and skin glowing. This would be g8 for someone who is pregnant as it has calcium and iron in it."

[YEA]  11/29/2005: Kim from Blessing, TX writes: "My father-in-law's joint and hands were hurting so bad the doctor performed carpal tunnel surgery on one hand, but the pain and swelling was still there. For about 6-8 months he was unable to do anything, he couldn't sleep, and she helped him do everything. His joint pain was horrible. Then one night my mother-in-law was making him biscuits with molasses and when he woke up he felt completely full of energy it was amazing. He got outside and did he chores with no effort at all. She thinks it was the iron he needed in his body, but it sure did work. He is back to his normal self."

CIRCULATION

3 YEA

[YEA]  03/16/2008: Norman L. from Abbotsford, BC writes: "I had serious swelling of ankles ,feet & legs. And all doctors could suggest is poor ciculation and one way valves in leg not working properly and would have to wear pressure socks for the rest of my life but I was not willing for this and kept earching and tryinng all sorts of natural things but when finally I went back to black strap molasses which I used to take for nose bleeding & cured that and after some time of use I ran out of it & forgot to replace it and got swlling problems but never connected it to molasses but after 2 yrs for some reason tried molasses again and after some time I noticed something , less swelling to happen and gradually dissapearednd not even swelled during the day anymore and so must be the molasses that played a part in circulation for me in my legs and so will continue taking it for this is a much better cure than wearing pressure socks whch did not go to fix the problem anyways. Thank You, Norm from Abbotsford BC"

[YEA]  02/12/2009: Donna Hyde from Lincoln, NE replies: "i had swollen ankles also, i had red going up both my legs. i am not a person who likes the Doc. i believe in what God has put on this earth for us to use. i started 1 tab.spoon black strap, with 2 tab.spoons Braggs apple citer vinegar, with 8 oz. of warm water. my swelling went away, and so did the redness."

[YEA]  Maureen from Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada writes: "Thank you Norman L. from Abbotsford, BC for taking the time to write about the benefits blackstrap molasses has had for you. I have NEVER heard of anything that helps swollen ankles and your e-mail has given me hope. I have just started using it for other reasons and now hope I get the same results you got. I must say I try so many things that I would not know what worked if something did work! I will pass on something that I discovered last week. I used the remainder of blackstrap molasses I have had for years and bought new organic unsulfured blackstrap molassas last week. There was some that I could not get out of the bottle so rather than waste it I decided to add shampoo and water to the bottle and wash my hair with it to see if it would help my gray hair. Well it did not, no surprise there, but it did clean my scalp (from itch) about 90% for most of the day. It worked just as good as apple cider vinegar does for me without the smell.

'Thank you Earth Clinic for a fantastic site and also to Ted and Bill for your valuable input. Maureen"

CONSTIPATION

5 YEA
3 SIDE EFFECTS

[YEA]  01/09/2009: Dianna from Austin, Tx writes: "ok - i am amazed. after reading about molasses here and remembering my great grandma feeding it to us on biscuits; i knew i HAD to have some and ASAP. well, i got some yesterday and immediately tasted it when i got in the car. i could barely restrain myself from drinking the whole bottle. i positively NEED this stuff. why was i NOT using it before? how had i forgot? weird. already i feel better. i have only had about 1 tablespoon since i got it - but my long time constipation is already better today! originally i got it with the idea to feed it to my pet rat sookie who just isn't thriving. she shows NO interest in it really - but for me i can tell i need it. btw - i am diabetic and was (B-12) anemic when i was younger.
djh/austin, tx"

06/07/2009: PAMM from Alabaster, AL replies: "I have IBS Chronic Constipation (HELP)& bad arthritis: My question is on Molasses Do I Have The Right Kind? I purchased the name is "Dark & Zesty Pure Molasses" is this the same as pure black strap molasses? If not where do you find that kind? Mine has Iron & Sodium & Potassium in it but also 14grams of sugar per Tablespoon. Also I am having trouble drinking this stuff. It is nasty to me, its too sweet. It taste like Honey. Is there a better way of eating or drinking this stuff. I am desperate for some relief without medications! I love this Site!"

EC: Molasses is the first or second boiling of cane sugar syrup while blackstrap molasses is the third boiling of the syrup.

07/24/2009: Fyreseer from Madison, AL replies: "PAMM - Dark Molasses is NOT the same as blackstrap. However, it still has lots of sugar, so it's going to seem sweet. I had a hard time with the taste in the beginning, too - but mixing it in with milk (it dissolves absurdly easily, even in cold milk) has been the best suggestion I've seen. Check your local health food stores for the blackstrap!"

[YEA]  10/30/2007: Fred G from Charlotte, NC writes: "My father is 87 and suffers from Parkinsons. He started having severe constipation problems as a result of intestinal muscles just not working. The doctors prescribed packets of chemical laxatives which marginally worked. He had to keep increasing these packets to a max of 7 packets. The expense was huge with many side-effects. On a follow up exam he asked if there was any alternative to help with the expense. The doctor recommended that he try black strap molasses. He incorporated 2 tablespoons a day and immediately was able to reduce the laxatives. Within 2 weeks and since he takes 0 laxatives and just the two tablespoons of Black Strap. He feels so much better and of course his mental state has improved greatly due to the relief that he nows has. He is not constipated at all and is just doing great. On that recommedation my elderly aunt, who has had constipation problems for years, tried the same remedy and had similar results. the doctor said he heard about this cure from his grandmother and figured it was worth a try."

01/06/2009: Doris from Orange County, CA USA replies: "Don't take laxatives to cure constipation. Laxatives cause bowels to expel by irritating intestines. If stools are hardened, expelling is VERY painful. Instead, use stool softener, for example blackstrap molasses, or another great remedy is a generous tblspn mineral oil by mouth (available in small plastic bottle at any grocery without rx, no need to buy expensive vitamin form). Mineral oil is odorless tasteless colorless and natural. It softens stools, so they can't help but expel and expels totally comfortably and painless, so keep bathroom nearby as it will not disappoint. Blackstrap molasses tastes better even alone, than mixing mineral oil or flavored cod liver oil in oatmeal or beverage like orange juice or milkshake or fruit smoothie."

[YEA]  10/11/2007: Karen from Kingsland, Georgia writes: "I have been taking the blackstrap molasses for two weeks now. I have super energy now with in days of using it. i,ve also been having regular bowel movements daily. don't want to stop taking this am sold out."

[YEA]  02/27/2007: Vickie from Ontario, Canada writes: "I started taking molasses; 1 tbsp in warm water in the morning and again in the evening; a few minutes before meals and I think it's cured my constipation. I stumbled upon this site when I was researching ACV. I also advised my friend to take it because she's been anemic all her life and she too is having free bowels. We only started taking it 5-6 days ago but I'll keep you all updated on her anemic condition and on my fibroids. Please remember us in your prayers. Thx. P.S. If anyone has any more information on any other remedies for uterine fibroids please do not hesitate to e-mail me; I'd really appreciate it."
