Canonising our own Blessed has been put on hold by Vatican
Why has our own BLESSED not been canonised whereas
the Pope who declared him ‘blessed’ has been elevated to sainthood by the Roman
Catholic Church. Did he not attain the rank before both Mother Teresa and Pope
John Paul II? We may be ignorant of the little technicalities delaying the Holy
See but we are not ignorant of the saintly miracles our dear son has performed
for decades now. Why is Vatican Vatican

Canonization, in the
Roman Catholic church, an act by which the pope publicly proclaims the sanctity
of a deceased person, whom he thereupon proposes for the veneration of the universal
church. Canonization is usually the final act of a lengthy process that begins
with beatification. The decree of beatification is an official declaration that
a person lived a holy life and can be venerated as one of the “blessed”;
canonization awards the full title of “saint.” In the Orthodox church, the
process of canonization is less formal and is carried out by local synods of
bishops.
The modern custom of canonization originated in the early Christian practice of paying public honor to the martyrs. For many centuries thereafter the title of saint was bestowed by popular acclamation. Not until a comparatively late period was a procedure equivalent to canonization adopted.
The earliest acknowledged instance of a solemn decree of canonization is that of Udalric or Ulric, bishop ofAugsburg
Canonization, without a special dispensation, cannot be decreed until 50 years have elapsed since the claimant's death. The process that precedes the decree of canonization seeks to establish two characteristics of the claimant according to the testimony of competent witnesses: eminent virtues, technically referred to as virtues in a “heroic degree,” and the performance of at least two authentic miracles. If the initial investigation is satisfactory, the pope takes the cause into his own hands and issues letters assigning the cause to a committee of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which then examines the virtues and miracles specifically. The claimant's cause is now said to be introduced. The introduction of the cause, that is, of the pontifical process, entitles the beatificandus, or candidate for beatification, to be called “venerable.” Many candidates have reached this point in the proceedings and have failed to go beyond it. If the candidate passes successfully through the proceedings, a decree of beatification is pronounced. Before the further process of canonization can be instituted, witnesses must testify that the candidate has worked a certain number of miracles since beatification. The case then once more passes through the hands of several congregations, the last of which is held in the presence of the pope, when the final decree is agreed upon.
The ceremony of canonization occurs in Saint Peter's Basilica in theVatican
Equipollent or equivalent canonization is founded upon proof of immemorial veneration, or of some papal sanction given to veneration, prior to the date of Urban VIII's constitution. In such cases the pope may at once pronounce the decree of canonization. Equipollent beatification is a summary process of a similar kind. The pope accepts the results of the preliminary process and at once decrees beatification.

Beatification,
since the 12th century, an official papal declaration that a deceased person
lived a holy life and is worthy of veneration. The beatified person receives
the title “blessed.” The process leading to beatification involves an intensive
examination of the life, writings, and reputation of the person under
consideration. It is generally a step toward canonization. Before the 12th
century, local bishops instituted the process and issued the declaration of
beatification for their own dioceses.

Saint, name applied in the
New Testament (Colossians 1:2) to the members of the Christian community
generally, but restricted in ecclesiastical usage from very early times to
those who have been virtuous to a heroic degree. Saints are traditionally
distributed into several classes: apostles and evangelists; martyrs;
confessors, originally, those who had undergone imprisonment or pains without
the final crown of martyrdom and, later, male saints in general who were eminent
for sanctity; doctors, saints eminent for sacred learning; virgins; and matrons
and widows. For the methods by which the title of saint has been conferred in
early and in modern times, see Canonization.

VENERATION OF SAINTS
|
By the 4th century ad, the practice of venerating the
saints was widespread. During the Middle Ages, however, much superstition
surrounded the practice. Even before the Reformation, the Bogomils and
Waldenses objected to the veneration of saints; at the time of the Reformation,
the practice was generally rejected as scripturally unfounded. The Roman
Catholic Council of Trent
Of the many saints, almost
all record has perished except their names. The fullest list is found in the
general table in the 61st volume of the colossal Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists,
which mentions about 20,000 saints. The catalog that possesses the highest
ecclesiastical authority is that of the Martyrologium Romanum. The martyrology
numbers some 2700 saints, including about 20 saints of the Old Testament,
arranged according to the days of their celebration. Many of these saints were
honored annually with a special feast day; at one time their feast days filled
about two-thirds of the Roman Catholic church's liturgical calendar, although
some of the saints had become little more than names. In 1964 VaticanCouncil II concluded that only saints “of truly
universal significance should be extended to the universal Church” and the
others “should be left to be celebrated by a particular church, or nation, or
religious community.” Accordingly, in 1969, Pope Paul VI approved a reordering
of the liturgical calendar to achieve the council's wish. In the revised
calendar, which took effect on January 1, 1970, only 58 regular, or obligatory,
and 92 optional feast days of saints were retained in addition to those of
Christ, the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the apostles.

In Christian art representations
of the saints, as well as of Christ, are often marked by a halo (also known as
a nimbus, aureole, or glory), a ring or area of radiance about the head or
entire figure, and many of the saints are pictured with emblems by which they
could readily be recognized. A martyr who had a special interest in a place was
called its patron as early as the 4th century. Trades and professions had their
patrons, and for every disease a saint could be invoked to cure it. Among the
widely known patron saints are Andrew of Scotland England Ireland Hungary

All Saints’ Day,
also Allhallows or Hallowmas, festival celebrated on November 1 in the Roman
Catholic and Anglican churches, and by the Orthodox churches on the first
Sunday after Pentecost, in honor of God and all his saints, known and unknown.
It became established as a church festival early in the 7th century when the
Pantheon inRome was consecrated as
the Church of the Blessed Virgin and All Martyrs. Pope Gregory IV gave the
custom official authorization in 835. November 1 may have been chosen because
it was the day of one of the four great festivals of the pagan nations of the
north, and it was church policy to supplant pagan with Christian observances.

TTRC
AN OVERVIEW OF THE THERAPEUTIC ORIENTATION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONAL
MEMBERS OF SSSMIT
Health in
human beings is the extent of an individual's continuing physical, emotional,
mental, and social ability to cope with his environment.
This
definition, just one of many that are possible, has its drawbacks. The rather
fragile individual who stays “well” within the ordinary environment of his or
her existence may succumb to a heart attack from heavy shovelling after a
snowstorm; or a sea-level dweller may move to a new home in the mountains,
where the atmosphere has a lower content of oxygen, and suffer from shortness
of breath and anaemia until his red blood cell count adjusts itself to the
altitude. Thus, even by this definition, the conception of good health must
involve some allowance for change in the environment.
Bad health
can be defined as the presence of disease, good health as its
absence—particularly the absence of continuing disease, because the person
afflicted with a sudden attack of seasickness, for example, may not be thought
of as having lost his good health as a result of such a mishap.
Actually,
there is a wide variable area between health and disease. Only a few examples
are necessary to illustrate the point:
(1) It is
physiologically normal for an individual, 15 to 20 minutes after eating a meal,
to have a high blood sugar content. If, however, the sugar content remains
elevated two hours later, this condition is abnormal and may be indicative of
disease.
(2) A
“healthy” individual may have developed an allergy, perhaps during early
childhood, to a single specific substance. If he never again comes in contact
with the antigen that causes the allergy, all other factors remaining normal,
he will remain in that state of health.
Should he,
however, come in contact with that allergen, even 20 or 30 years later, he may
suffer anything from a mild allergic reaction—a simple rash—to severe
anaphylactic shock, coma, or even death, depending upon the circumstances. Thus
it can be seen that, unlike disease, which is frequently recognizable,
tangible, and rather easily defined, health is a somewhat nebulous condition, and
somewhat difficult to define.
Moreover,
physical condition and health are not synonymous terms. A seven-foot-tall
basketball player may be in excellent physical condition (although outside the
range of normality for height) but may or may not be in good health—depending,
for example, on whether or not he has fallen victim to an attack of influenza.
There are
further problems in settling upon a definition of human health. A person may be
physically strong, resistant to infection, able to cope with physical hardship
and other features of his physical environment, and still be considered
unhealthy if his mental state, as measured by his behaviour, is deemed unsound.
What is mental health? Some say that a person is mentally healthy if he is able
to function reasonably well. Others hold that a person is healthy mentally if
his behaviour is like that of a majority of his fellows.
In the
face of this confusion, it is most useful, perhaps, to define health, good or
bad, in terms that can be measured, can be interpreted with respect to the
ability of the individual at the time of measurement to function in a normal
manner and with respect to the likelihood of imminent disease. These
measurements can be found in tables of “reference values” printed in textbooks
of clinical medicine, diagnosis, and other references of this type. When an
individual is given a health examination, the examination is likely to include
a series of tests. Some of these tests are more descriptive than quantitative
and can indicate the presence of disease in a seemingly healthy person. Such
tests include the electrocardiogram to detect some kinds of heart disease;
electromyogram for primary muscle disorders; liver and gall bladder function
tests; and X-ray techniques for determining disease or malfunction of internal
organs.
Other
tests give numerical results (or results that can be assigned numerical
values—such as photometric colour determinations) that can be interpreted by
the examiner. These are physical and chemical tests, including blood, urine,
and spinal-fluid analyses. The results of the tests are compared with the
reference values; and the physician receives clues as to the health of his
patient and, if the values are abnormal, for the methods of improving his
health.
A major
difficulty in the interpretation of test results is that of biological
variability. Almost without exception these reference values for variables are
means or adjusted means of large group measurements. For these values to have
significance, they must be considered as lying somewhere near the centre point
of a 95 percent range—i.e., the so-called ordinary range or, with reservations,
the range from normal to the upper and lower borderline limits. Thus, the 2.5
percent below the lower limit and the 2.5 percent above the upper limit of the
95 percent range are considered areas of abnormality or, perhaps, illness. Some
areas have wide 95 percent ranges—blood pressure, for example, may vary
considerably throughout the day (e.g., during exercise, fright, or anger) and
remain within its range of normality. Other values have ranges so narrow that
they are termed physiological constants. An individual's body temperature, for
example, rarely varies (when taken at the same anatomical site) by more than a
degree (from time of rising until bedtime) without being indicative of
infection or other illness.

I have
always argued that many people mistakenly take health to refer only to physical
well being of the individual. This is totally wrong. The social and mental well
being is neglected without many realising that the duo actually produce the
physical symptoms that develop into perennial ill-health that later is termed
TERMINAL DISEASES. A good example is High Blood Pressure. Just like the philosophical
question; WHICH CAME FIRST, THE EGG OR THE HEN? It is absurd that General
Practitioners of Human Medicine forgot to emphasise to their patients that
there are certain human relationships that produce physical diseases. We need

Physical
fitness (health)
•

•
prevention of disease
•
relationship to health
•
exercises for strength
Physical
fitness is a general concept and is defined in many ways by different
scientists. Physical fitness is discussed here in two major categories:
health-related physical fitness and motor-performance physical fitness. Despite
some overlap between these classifications, there are major differences, as
described below.
Health-related
physical fitness
Health-related
physical fitness is defined as fitness related to some aspect of health. This
type of physical fitness is primarily influenced by an individual's exercise habits;
thus, it is a dynamic state and may change. Physical characteristics that
constitute health-related physical fitness include strength and endurance of
skeletal muscles, joint flexibility, body composition, and cardio-respiratory
endurance. All these attributes change in response to appropriate physical
conditioning programs, and all are related to health. Strength and endurance of
skeletal muscles of the trunk help maintain correct posture and prevent such
problems as low back pain. Minimal levels of muscular strength and endurance
are needed for routine tasks of living, such as carrying bags of groceries or
picking up a young child. Individuals with very low levels of muscular strength
and endurance are limited in the performance of routine tasks and have to lead
a restricted life. Such limitations are perhaps only indirectly related to
health, but individuals who cannot pick up and hug a grandchild or must
struggle to get up from a soft chair surely have a lower quality of life than
that enjoyed by their fitter peers. Flexibility, or range of motion around the
joints, also ranks as an important component of health-related fitness. Lack of
flexibility in the lower back and posterior thigh is thought to contribute to
low back pain. Extreme lack of flexibility also has a deleterious effect on the
quality of life by limiting performance. Body composition refers to the ratio
between fat and lean tissue in the body. Excess body fat is clearly related to
several health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type II
(adult-onset) diabetes mellitus, and certain forms of cancer. Body composition
is affected by diet, but exercise habits play a crucial role in preventing
obesity and maintaining acceptable levels of body fat. Cardio-respiratory
endurance, or aerobic fitness, is probably what most people identify as
physical fitness. Aerobic fitness refers to the integrated functional capacity
of the heart, lungs, vascular system, and skeletal muscles to expend energy.
The basic activity that underlies this type of fitness is aerobic metabolism in
the muscle cell, a process in which oxygen is combined with a fuel source (fats
or carbohydrates) to release energy and produce carbon dioxide and water. The
energy is used by the muscle to contract, thereby exerting force that can be
used for movement. For the aerobic reaction to take place, the
cardio-respiratory system (i.e., the circulatory and pulmonary systems) must
constantly supply oxygen and fuel to the muscle cell and remove carbon dioxide
from it. The maximal rate at which aerobic metabolism can occur is thus
determined by the functional capacity of the cardio-respiratory system and is
measured in the laboratory as maximal oxygen intake. As will be discussed in
detail below, aerobic fitness is inversely related to the incidence of coronary
heart disease and hypertension.
Motor-performance
physical fitness
Motor-performance
fitness is defined as the ability of the neuromuscular system to perform
specific tasks. Test items used to assess motor-performance fitness include
chin-ups, sit-ups, the 50-yard dash, the standing long jump, and the shuttle
run (a timed run in which the participant dashes back and forth between two
points). The primary physical characteristics measured by these tests are the
strength and endurance of the skeletal muscles and the speed or power of the
legs. These traits are important for success in many types of athletics.
Muscular strength and endurance are also related to some aspects of health, as
stated above. There is disagreement among experts about the relative importance
of health-related and motor-performance physical fitness. While both types of
fitness are obviously desirable, their relative values should be determined by
an individual's personal fitness objectives. If success in athletic events is
of primary importance, motor-performance fitness should be emphasized. If
concern about health is paramount, health-related fitness should be the focus.
Different types of fitness may be important not only to different individuals
but also to the same individual at different times. The 16-year-old competing
on a school athletic team is likely to focus on motor performance. The typical
middle-aged individual is not as likely to be concerned about athletic success,
emphasizing instead health and appearance. One further point should be made: to
a great extent, motor-performance physical fitness is determined by genetic
potential. The person who can run fast at 10 years of age will be fast at age
17; although training may enhance racing performance, it will not appreciably
change the individual's genetically determined running speed. On the other
hand, characteristics of health-related physical fitness, while also partly
determined by inheritance, are much more profoundly influenced by exercise habits.
•
Mental fitness (health)
The
science of maintaining mental health and preventing the development of
psychosis, neurosis, or other mental disorders. Since the founding of the
United Nations the concepts of mental health and hygiene have achieved
international acceptance. As defined in the 1946 constitution of the World
Health Organization, “health is a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The
term mental health represents a variety of human aspirations: rehabilitation of
the mentally disturbed, prevention of mental disorder, reduction of tension in
a stressful world, and attainment of a state of well-being in which the
individual functions at a level consistent with his or her mental potential. As
noted by the World Federation for Mental Health, the concept of optimum mental
health refers not to an absolute or ideal state but to the best possible state
insofar as circumstances are alterable. Mental health is regarded as a
condition of the individual, relative to the capacities and
social-environmental context of that person. Mental hygiene includes all
measures taken to promote and to preserve mental health. Community mental
health refers to the extent to which the organization and functioning of the
community determines, or is conducive to, the mental health of its members.
Throughout the ages the mentally disturbed have been viewed with a mixture of
fear and revulsion. Their fate generally has been one of rejection, neglect,
and ill treatment. Though in ancient medical writings there are references to
mental disturbance that display views very similar to modern humane attitudes,
interspersed in the same literature are instances of socially sanctioned
cruelty based upon the belief that mental disorders have supernatural origins
such as demonic possession. Even reformers sometimes used harsh methods of
treatment; for example, the 18th-century American physician Benjamin Rush
endorsed the practice of restraining mental patients with his notorious
“tranquilising chair.”
•
Social health also called welfare service or social work
Social
health is any of a variety of governmental programs designed to protect
citizens from the economic risks and insecurities of life. The most common
types of programs provide benefits to the elderly or retired, the sick or
invalid, dependent survivors, mothers, the unemployed, the work-injured, and
families. Methods of financing and administration and the scope of coverage and
benefits vary widely among countries. Social health embraces any of numerous
publicly or privately provided services intended to aid disadvantaged,
distressed, or vulnerable persons or groups. The term social service also
denotes the profession engaged in rendering such services. The social services
have flourished in the 20th century as ideas of social responsibility have
developed and spread. The basic concerns of social welfare—poverty, disability
and disease, the dependent young and elderly—are as old as society itself. The
laws of survival once severely limited the means by which these concerns could
be addressed; to share another's burden meant to weaken one's own standing in
the fierce struggle of daily existence. As societies developed, however, with their
patterns of dependence between members, there arose more systematic responses
to the factors that rendered individuals, and thus society at large,
vulnerable.

re-introduce them in our TANSIAN THERAPEUTICS.
What Is Alternative Medicine
Throughout
the ages, people have turned to herbal medicine for healing; the sixth field of
alternative medicine. All cultures have folk medicine traditions that include
the use of plants and plant products. Africais not an exception!
Many
licensed drugs used all over the world today, originated from roots and plants
in the herbal traditions of various cultures, such as the medication commonly
used for heart failure, ‘Digitalis’, that is derived from foxglove! ‘Quinine’,
the brand name for ‘Quinacrine’, which my generation drank throughout our
infant years in the colonial administrtion,1950 until 1960 was manufactured by
the British May & Baker Industry from ‘Dogonyaro’, a tropical tree our
forefathers had been using for treating malaria for ages before the arrival of
the first white man on the African continent! Its roots, stem, leaves and
flowers had been processed and crystallized in Great Britain, then repackaged
in yellow tablet forms and returned to the colonies as the ultimate in the
treatment of Malaria; the white man’s scourge in West Africa.
The World
Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4 billion people, or 80 percent of the
world’s population, use herbal medicine for some aspect of primary health care.
If this statement is valid, and I have no reasons to doubt it, then the West is
vicariously admitting that they have come down from their pinnacle of “WE KNOW
IT ALL AND DEVELOPING NATIONS MUST WAIT AND FOLLOW US.
This is
exactly what our investigation is all about. If our forefathers survived
childhood diseases, developed, evolved and practised their own brand of
traditional obstetrics & gynaecology that ensured that our parents lived
long enough to give birth to our generation, then a rediscovery of their unique
pharmacopoeia will definitely save the lives of many of our unfortunate bothers
and sisters who are already struck by the pandemic HIV and its Siamese twin-
AIDS! Or, should we fold our arms and wait for the West to provide answers to
all medical problems we are also qualified to provide?
Why Are People Turning To
Alternative Medicine?
The onset
of the human immunodeficiency virus epidemic (HIV, the virus that causes
acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS) in the mid-1980s was one of the
reasons people began turning to alternative medicine. Conventional medicine was
unable to provide an effective treatment, leading people to seek other
therapies. Public interest in alternative medicine also grew as people realized
that victory in the fight against cancer was a long way off.
Other
perceived shortcomings of conventional medicine centred around chronic
ailments. For example, a 1998 study published in the JAMA by John Astin, a
researcher at Stanford University in California, found that the health problems
for which Americans most frequently use alternative therapies include chronic
pain, muscle strains or sprains, headaches, arthritis, and addictions.
But not
everyone who uses alternative medical procedures does so because they are
dissatisfied with the results from mainstream treatments. “Alternative health
care is becoming more widespread and popular for reasons that have nothing to
do with alternative medicine,” says Michael Goldstein, a professor of public
health at the University of California Los
Angeles
“There is
a negative feeling toward conventional medicine and the way it deals with
particular problems such as chronic illness. And there is an increasing
dissatisfaction with the way care is provided.”
For
example, many people have expressed discontent with the health care provided by
managed health-care plans. Managed health-care companies, such as health
maintenance organizations (HMOs), often limit patients' choice of treatment
options and providers to hold down costs. Critics of this cost-cutting approach
believe it depersonalizes medical care and reduces doctors' interest in
developing a relationship with their patients.
One
measure of the increasing popularity of alternative medicine is that some
managed care companies have begun to cover alternative treatments. Most major
health insurance companies now cover at least one form of alternative therapy,
often because the alternative therapy is less expensive than the conventional
treatment. A 1997 study published in theAmerican Journal of Health Promotion by
Kenneth R. Pelletier, a researcher at Stanford University U.S.
Another
factor behind the rising popularity of alternative health care is that many
Americans (16.3 percent of the population, or about 44.3 million people in
1998) do not have health insurance or suffer from ailments that their insurance
plan does not or will not cover. This situation has opened the door to
practitioners who tout inexpensive, seemingly natural, ways to heal in lieu of
mainstream, and more expensive, solutions.
FOR YOUR
ENLIGHTENMENT HERE IS AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DISSERTATION ON THE RESUME I GAVE ABOVE
AND HOW WE ADAPTED IT INTO OUR SEARCH A DECADE AGO FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TROPICAL
MANAGEMENT OF THE HIV SCOURGE
OUR QUESTION THEN WAS WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE?
Alternative Medicine, also called unconventional
medicine, is the use of therapeutic practices, techniques and beliefs that are
outside the realm of mainstream Western health care. Alternative medicine
emphasizes therapies that improve quality of life, prevent disease, and address
conditions that conventional medicine has limited success in curing, such as
chronic back pain and certain cancers.
Proponents of alternative medicine believe that
these approaches to healing are safer and more natural and have been shown
through experience to work. In certain countries, alternative medical practices
are the most widely used methods of health care. However, many practitioners of
modern conventional medicine believe these practices are unorthodox and
unproven.
By some estimates 83 million United
States Canada United
Kingdom Australia
The first field, mind-body intervention, explores
the mind’s capacity to affect, and perhaps heal, the body. Studies have shown
that the mental state has a profound effect on the immune system and
subsequently these studies have provoked interest in the mind’s role in the
cause and course of disease. Specific mind-body interventions include;
meditation, hypnosis, art therapy, biofeedback and mental healing.
Bio-electromagnetic applications, the second field
of alternative medicine, make use of the body’s response to non-thermal,
non-ionising radiation. Current uses involve bone repair, nerve stimulation,
wound healing, treatment of osteoarthritis and immune system stimulation.
The third field is alternative systems of medical
practice. In each variation of this system, the practice is usually
characterised by a specific theory of health and disease, an educational
programme to teach its concepts to new practitioners and often a legal mandate
to regulate its practice. Examples include; Acupuncture, popularised by the
Chinese, Ayurvedic medicine, Homeopathy and Naturopathy.
Touch and manipulation are the mainstays of the
manual healing methods, which constitute the fourth field of alternative
medicine. Practitioners of chiropractic and massage therapies such as Rolfing
structural integration believe that dysfunction of one part of the body often
affects the function of other, not necessarily connected, parts. Manipulating
bones or soft tissues or realigning body parts will therefore restore health.
The pharmacological and biological treatments that
make up the fifth field of alternative medicine consist of an assortment of
drugs and vaccines not yet accepted in mainstream medicine. Compounds such as
anti-neoplastins (from human blood and urine) for acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS), various products of the honeybee for arthritis, and iscador (a
liquid extract from mistletoe) for tumours have not been scientifically
evaluated because of the expense of conducting safety and effectiveness
studies.
Throughout the ages, people have turned for healing
to herbal medicine, the sixth field of alternative medicine. All cultures have
folk medicine traditions that include the use of plants and plant products.
Many licensed drugs used today originated in the herbal traditions of various
cultures, such as the medication commonly used for heart failure, digitalis,
which is derived from foxglove. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates
that 4 billion people, or 80 percent of the world’s population, use herbal
medicine for some aspect of primary health care.
This is exactly what our investigation is all
about. If our forefathers survived childhood diseases, developed, evolved and
practised their own brand of traditional obstetrics & gynaecology that
ensured that our parents lived long enough to give birth to our generation,
then a rediscovery of their unique pharmacopoeia will definitely save the lives
of many of our unfortunate bothers and sister who are already struck by the
pandemic HIV and its Siamese twin- AIDS!
THE PHILOSOPHY OF HAFANI RESEARCH CONSORTIUM IN
PREFERRING THE USE OF HERBAL MEDICINE TO TREAT HIV.
WE HAD NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO LOOK INWARDS FOR
COST EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES; PALLIATIVE OR PROPHYLACTIC REMEDIES, TO STEM THE
SPREAD OF THE PANDEMIC IN AFRICA AND
REDUCE THE EXORBITANT DRUGS MARKETED BY THE WEST.
Use of “Moringa Oleifera” in Hafani’s Alternative
Therapy
Our search for cheaper means of caring for PLWA in
the rural community who may not have access to synthetic multivitamins took us
the doors of Epidemiologists. One of our consultants, who works at the National
Arbovirus and Vectors; Research Division of the Federal Ministry of Health, Dr
N. A. Ozumba, has processed and packaged the leaf powder form of this great
plant, which he labelled “MOVITAAMIN”, abbreviated DOM.
The name is derived thus: MO-VIT-AA-MIN tells us
that the plant Moringa Oleifera is very rich in and provides the Vitamins, the
essential Amino Acids, and Minerals that our body needs.
In this case, it goes beyond supplementing human
nutrition to the more significant function of bolstering the immune system of
people living with HIV-AIDS, thereby enhancing prophylaxis and improving the appetite
of its beneficiaries! In the field, it has been sampled and tested on pregnant
and breast-feeding women, malnourished infants and people living with HIV-AIDS
for three years with magnificent results. It is equally reported to have
increased the physical and mental well being of those who use it just as food
supplement! We have scientifically documented evidence that any interested
research scientist can verify, duplicate, replicate, validate and standardise!
“Moringa Oleifera”, comes from the botanical
family; Moringaceae, of the genus; Moringa. Fourteen species make up the genus,
but our choice is the most popular and the best known in scientific circles. It
is a fast growing and drought-resistant tree, native to Northern India
(For
details consult Morton; 1991, Folkard and Sutherland; 1996).
In Nigeria
The leaves are outstanding among all leafy
vegetables in the tropics as it a very rich source of both Vitamin A and
Vitamin C when eaten raw! They are equally a good source of the various
versions of the B vitamins and soluble minerals. “The Calcium content is high
for a plant. Phosphorus is low as it should be. The content of Iron is very
good. (It is reportedly prescribed for anaemia in the Philippines
Going through the comparative table analysing the
content of these vitamins per 100 grams of the plant, the dried Leaf
Powder contains twice much more than both the Pods and fresh Leaves do! For
more details, consult Fugile et al; 1999 & 2000). In the West African
sub-region only in Senegal Americas Africa and Asia .
Presently, scientific laboratory investigations and
our experimentation in the search for alternative management strategies for
HIV-AIDS in Africa at
UNTH from 2001 2005, have confirmed its therapeutic efficiency as well as its
remedial effectiveness in nutrition/dietetics by pre-literate healers all over
the globe! It is this certainty that emboldens us to recommend that other
health researchers evaluate our claims! With the three regimens code-named
HAT/2003/…VCO, AVT and SMV, we have achieved success in arresting the sporadic
spread of the pandemic in our community! You, too, can!!
Many licensed drugs used today originated in the
herbal traditions of various cultures, and therefore Hafani Research Consortium
utilised the natural roots, herbs and other resources in the tropics to
alleviate the throes of our kith and kin dying from the incurable HIV-AIDS
pandemic rather than complacently wait for foreign patented drugs. We neither
owe anyone any excuses, explanations nor apologies for using what we have in
the tropics to manage the health issues and medical problems facing us as
altruistic, patriotic and humanitarian research scientists. The age when
Africans and Asians stood still when Europeans sneezed is over and gone for
good. We must paddle our own canoes and stop being stagnated or regressed
adolescents waiting for our daily bread to be rationed out to us!
Hafani Research Consortium is blazing the trail! Do
you care for our rural communities? You can only answer that question by taking
a resolution to stop sitting on the fence. Are you still tied to the apron
strings of your erstwhile colonial masters? This is opportune time to liberate
yourself and others. Apply the knowledge of scientific research you acquired in
the university and alleviate the problems of our brothers and sisters by
appropriating the high sounding prefixes and accolades attached to your names!
This, and only this, is our mission!
We are not holding briefs for anyone, group of
persons or institution. We do not represent any religious or political
organisation, not even the WHO nor the UN. We are simply medical experts and
natural scientists motivated by the need to find lasting solutions to the
throes our kith and kin are passing through by suffering this pandemic. We are
ordinary humanitarians trying our best to be our “brothers/sisters keepers”!
If the International Scientific Community is
stating that they have no cure for now, shall we remain complacent while our
women and children are plagued by this contraption of western science; whereas
they are busy doling out free condoms and their own brands of anti-retroviral
drugs that are merely prophylactic, our relatives are dying in millions here in
Africa? No! ‘God forbid bad thing’ our native folks say!
The
Almighty Creator in his Infinite Wisdom had/has endowed every community with
the natural remedies for all the diseases that abound in their environment. It
is left for dedicated elders and renowned sages in these communities to
discover these healing remedies and employ them the maximum benefits that their
kith and kin can derive there from. This is what we have initiated to rescue
our people from Western dominance.
