Preface

Certain aspects of life compel us to share passion and deliver a message. It is a privilege to write such an enlightened book to highlight a crucial element in health. 

I am not an expert in the subject of health. African knowledge has kept many generations healthy for centuries. Academics have also shown interest in African medicine and methods used to heal the sick by conducting research. 

My doctor was an expert physician who practiced in his surgery. He perished from a disease after a long illness. May his soul rest in peace. He knew different types of sicknesses and which medicine to take. I wonder if he was not paralyzed by knowing that what he had was labelled incurable. Sometimes, labelling paralyzes even the best of us.  

Whatever I am writing about in this book is based on personal experience. It is organic knowledge of Africa that I grew up knowing. Others might take it as a betrayal of divulging secrets that are sacred to Africans. We cannot sit by and watch people die due to a lack of knowledge. Read and make up your mind.
