Raising Hemoglobin Naturally

Depending on how serious the anemia is, treatment will depend on the patient’s values. If the anemia is very serious, below 6 mg/dL, a blood transfusion is recommended. However, most cases can be treated at home with iron supplements. It’s important to know that there are multiple causes of anemia, and it’s important to consult an expert to diagnose the specific cause. That way you can approach it in the best way. As I said, in Venezuela, anemia is a serious problem, so there are many natural recipes that promise to raise hemoglobin quickly. Some of these I have tried, and others I have not dared yet. I’ll list all the recipes, most of them fancy shakes that many of us have taken to raise our hemoglobin, improve our appetite, strengthen our immune system, and keep ourselves well fed, among other benefits.

3-IN-1 JUICE

This is one of my favorites because it tastes so good and because it reminds me of my childhood when my mother used to make this juice to keep me and my brother strong. Ingredients: • 1 liter of natural orange juice • 1 medium carrot • 1 medium beet • 1 teaspoon of honey or sugar (optional). It can be prepared with a juice extractor or in the blender.

RED PEPPER AND TREE TOMATO (TAMARILLO) JUICE

Ingredients: • 5 peeled tree tomatoes (tamarillo) • 1 red pepper • 1 liter of water • Sweetener of your choice.

RED PEPPER AND GUAVA

Ingredients: • 2 lbs. of guava • 1 red pepper • 1 liter of water • Sweetener of your choice. The following I have never tried, and I don’t know if I will, but many of my patients have. In fact, they’re the ones who give me most of these recipes. If you dare to drink them, welcome to the world of high hemoglobin!

BEEF LIVER + TREE TOMATO + GUAVA

Ingredients: • 1 piece of beef liver • 5 peeled tree tomatoes • Lemon juice (optional) • Sweetener of your choice.

COW’S EYE JUICE

This juice is said to be very nutritious. Not only does it increase hemoglobin but it also improves concentration and immunity, increases protein levels, and even improves sexual performance.

I heard about this juice when I went to the Venezuelan Andes, which is basically the only region where they prepare it for sale. It is so popular that there are businesses dedicated exclusively to its preparation. They add other ingredients to the base recipe, including oatmeal, baby cereal, and cream of rice. Some people order a complete blender of the juice and drink it there. Ingredients: • Sprouts • Spinach • 2 tablespoons of avocado • 1 quail egg • 1 egg • 4 cups of milk • 1 cup of blackberries • Essence of vanilla • The content of 1 beef eye.

FRUIT JUICE AND BEEF BRAINS

This prescription was given to me by a patient who needed to increase her hemoglobin in order to start chemotherapy. In three weeks, her values were within the normal range, and she told me she drank this brain juice daily during that time. Brains are a high source of iron and magnesium, plus they are full of vitamins and minerals. I think if I try a preparation with brains, I’ll prefer a meal to a juice. However, here is my patient’s successful recipe. Ingredients: • 2 cups of blackberries • 1 medium banana • 1 cup of orange juice • 1/4 piece of beef brains.

All the ingredients contained in these recipes have common characteristics. At least one of them is a high source of iron, and there is at least one citrus ingredient in almost all of them, which facilitates the absorption of iron. That’s why I have no doubt that they work, and I always see the results in my medical practice.
