The West-African variety of\u00a0Sorghum bicolor\u00a0<\/em>leaf sheath (SBLS) Jobelyn\u00ae is a natural remedy that has gained recognition for its blood boosting qualities. The widespread use of Jobelyn\u00ae in our region actually confirms its safety. The other major pharmacological properties have been suggested after isolation and characterization of the active compounds in this specie of\u00a0sorghum<\/em>\u00a0showing various subclasses of flavonoids etc. Sorghum bicolor<\/em> possesses several biologically active compounds with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and neuro-protective properties. Studies also show that SBLS has the ability to boost hemoglobin concentrations in anemic conditions and increase CD4 count in HIV-positive patients.<\/p>\n

Clinical efficacy of a West African sorghum bicolor-based traditional herbal preparation Jobelyn shows increased hemoglobin and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts in HIV-positive patients https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3904510\/\u00a0<\/a><\/h6>\n

Jobelyn was recently listed in the drug dictionary of the National Cancer Institute and described as:<\/p>\n

An herbal-based nutritional supplement containing the leaf sheaths of the plant Sorghum bicolor, with potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, chemopreventive and immunomodulating activities. Sorghum bicolor supplement contains various phytochemicals, including phenolic acids and polyphenols such as proanthocyanidins. Sorghum bicolor supplement is particularly rich in 3-deoxyanthocyanins, such as luteolinidin and apigeninidin, and appears to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation in cancer cells through the stimulation of various apoptosis promoter genes and the downregulation of certain apoptosis inhibitor genes. In addition, due to the strong antioxidant nature of the phytochemicals, these compounds are able to scavenge free radicals and prevent tissue damage. Also, intake of this supplement modulates the immune system by both increasing the activity of natural killer (NK) cells and initiating the activation of macrophages. https:\/\/www.cancer.gov\/publications\/dictionaries\/cancer-drug\/def\/sorghum-bicolor-supplement<\/a><\/div>\n

CASE STUDY REPORT – AUGUST 29 – SEPTEMBER 14 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been giving COVID-19 positive patients Jobelyn\u00ae and they turn PCR test negative within 7 days. The latest patient, a 26 year old Filipino lady tested positive for COVID-19 on August 29, 2021 after showing some classical signs and symptoms including loss of sense of smell (First test result attached).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"POSITIVE

INITIAL LABORATORY RESULT SHOWING POSITIVE ON AUG. 29 2021<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

We sent Jobelyn\u00ae to her and she took it from September 5 for 7 days. On September 13, another deep throat and nasal swab were taken and COVID-19 PCR test done. Behold a negative result was obtained (second test result attached) as has been the case in all previous cases.<\/p>\n

\"NEGATIVE

2ND REPORT SHOWING NEGATIVE RESULT ON SEPT 14 2021<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a related development, a young lady who tested positive on December 30, 2021 was placed on Jobelyn capsules, 5 capsules emptied into hot water, 3 times daily for 6 days and the results are shown in the documents below.<\/p>\n

The mechanism of action may be due to the high Poly phenols \/ antioxidant content of Jobelyn\u00ae as well as its immune modulatory effects as seen in the increase of NK cells, T lymphocytes and CD4 counts.<\/p>\n

The quantification of these five polyphenol marker compounds was evaluated by the highly sensitive LC\/MS-MS methodology, and their structures were confirmed by CAD-MS\/MS analysis. The testing was performed by Brunswick Laboratories, Norton, MA.<\/p>\n
