The story of Bixahuman

COMBINING 5,000 YEARS OF INDIGENOUS HISTORY
WITH MODERN LABORATORY SCIENCE

Aura Castro

CEO & FOUNDER OF BIXAHUMAN

Bixahuman has a personal backstory. It is literally in my blood! 
 
Let’s start from the beginning: 
 
I was born with Chronic Anemia (otherwise known as Sickle Cell Anemia or Sickle Cell Trait). This disease causes red blood cells to break down and as a result they struggle to retain enough oxygen or nutrients. 
 
Over the years i developed many of the common symptoms such as: chronic fatigue, frequent pain and swelling due to inflammation, cold sweaty hands and hot sweaty feet, plus my bones were very brittle. 
 
I couldn’t even run without getting tired! 
 
AND THANK GOD FOR MAMA FRANCISCA 
 
She wasn’t only my great-grandmother but the curandera and midwife of the entire villa and neighboring communities in my hometown, the Dominican Republic. 
 
Mama Francisca inherited herbal combinations from her Taino roots and she used them to help me and also hundreds of people. 
 
She had great stories about people finding relief or even a cure for their illnesses using her mystical formulas everyday. 
 
And that’s how my own symptoms subsided and I felt notoriously better. 

From curing a catastrophe to becoming the cause of Bixahuman

Since I was already feeling better and was “back to normal,” I tended to ignore the severity of my condition.

After all, I felt that my chronic anemia was under control. I stopped the treatment for a week or two here and there without overthinking it.

There was a season when I was so busy that I didn’t take Mama Francisca’s unique herbal formulation for about five weeks. I figured my body could handle it.

This was a near-fatal error.

I ended up in the emergency room with a hemoglobin level of 4.2 (the normal range is 12.0 to 15.5), depriving my brain of oxygen, and I suffered two strokes.

The doctors administered medication with iron, but it did not increase my blood count as expected. My system shut down. I was given two emergency blood transfusions.

I learned the hard way that my condition was a critical illness.

I learned the hard way that my condition was a critical illness.

My eyes were now open to the fact that I was always at risk of having

a stroke at any time.

I was facing a life of frequent blood transfusions to prevent this from ever happening again. Lying in my hospital bed, i was desperate because i was single mother and the sole breadwinner in my family. 
 
My children depended on me and I had to be there for them. The only option was to get back to work so after my hospital discharge I searched for  holistic products that resembled my great-grandmother’s formula but couldn’t find them.

 

I decided to start collecting Mama Francisca’s herbs one by one to create my own formula based on what I had learned from her. And it worked!! 
 

Things stabilized in the next two weeks and my hemoglobin levels were back to normal but i also had NO PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE!

My neurologist was amazed at how my body and the immune system responded. 

THIS TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE

OFFERED ME TWO REVELATIONS

Living with chronic anemia
is life-threatening

“I would never let my treatment lapse again, and, to this day, Mama Francisca’s formula is part of my daily regimen.

I cannot keep this
knowledge to myself.

There is a way to help those suffering from chronic anemia, but it is not available to the public.

IN 2009, I CONTACTED A BOTANICAL SCIENTIST AND ORGANIC CHEMIST ABOUT

MAMA FRANCESCA’S FORMULA.

I told her the above story, my own experiences with the formula, and the stories I heard from my great-grandmother. I laid out the combination of ingredients and the proper proportions.

We discovered that, although some of the herbs are available in U.S. stores, there was no natural formula on the market that used Mama Francisca’s combination of spices.

I now had a team of intrigued researchers who wanted to unlock this potential with me. 
 
It wasn’t just a list of ingredients, the magic is based on creating the right herbal combinations based on what we know about  ancient traditions while using modern-day science to boost those formulas. 

What we all saw in these initial meetings was an opportunity to help.

Sickle cell disease mainly affects people of African descent and Hispanics of Caribbean descent.

It also occurs in Central and South America, the Middle East, Indian, Asian, Australian, and Italian descent. Expensive treatments, transfusions, and transplants may not be available in some communities.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE CAN HELP YOU

NOW THE SECRET IS OUT.

AND SPEAKS WORDS OF HOPE, COMFORT, AND ASSURANCE.

FROM MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER, THROUGH THE GENERATIONS, TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
IT IS AN HONOR TO UNITE THE PAST AND THE PRESENT TO SERVE YOU AS YOU HAVE SERVED ME.
