Dear Doctor,
My brother sufferered a stroke about a year ago. He was flown abroad and later sent back home. He has been geting better but only slightly and a bit too slow for my liking. He is no longer in the hospital because we have been made to realise that what he needs now is some physiotherapy and so on. But I am not satisfied. He can hardly talk or recognise any body. I am worried - some of our relatives are sure there is witchcraft involved and, as if they are right, certain people at home, i am told, have in fact, already confessed their involvement. Doctor, what can i do? What do you think about the witchcraft angle? What can I do to help? I don't want to lose him! Please help. Thank you

Dear Mrs Humuani,
Stroke is defined as "a sudden loss of brain function caused by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel to the brain, characterized by loss of muscular control, reduction or loss of sensation or consciousness, dizziness, slurred speech, or other symptoms that vary with the extent and severity of the damage to the brain. Also called cerebral accident, cerebrovascular accident and apoplexy, stroke involves a sudden loss of consciousness resulting when the rupture or occlusion of a blood vessel leads to oxygen lack in the brain. Hypertension is usually the disease behind a stroke. It increases the pressure --or force of flow-- of the the blood vessels to the brain are carrying beyond the point of endurance and the poor vessels burst --rather like when the water pipe from water corporation bursts at some point before it gets to your house! Then you will suffer a "no water" situation-- just like the brain suffers a no oxygen situation causing brain cells to die. And since nerve cells do not regenerate when they die, rehabilitation will have to take long -- the function of dead nerve cells will need to be taken over and learnt slowly (by dint of repetition and practice) by other nerve cells unaccoustomed to those functions. When there is a blockage of blood vessel rather than a bursted blood vessel at the root of stroke however, then we have -- not hypertension -- but something else as the underlying disease condition causing the stroke. A good example is when there is a Road traffic accident and some long bones are broken-- maybe the thigh bone or femur. Here the displaced bone marrow fat from the broken bone may travel through blood vessels as an embolus to go and block vessels in the brain and cause a stroke. Emboli may also form from the cholesterol plaques found in the inside walls of old and ageing artherosclerotic blood vessels --again dislogdging and travelling to block smaller blood vesels in the brain to cause stroke. This is why a high cholesterol level and artherosclerosis are dangerous. The care of a stroke patient involves making sure they are receiving as and when due their medications against hypertension (commonest cause in these parts) and or whaever else may be the root of their stroke, because if care is not taken the high blood pressure will soon cause another stroke in a patient that has just been diagnosed of the same!!! Psychologically, there must be committed, caring , supportive, non- complaining ansd anticipatory care best given from loving members of the family. You see, a person with stroke is either paretic or paralysed --(very weak or totally non-functioning muscles) and cannot move by themselves to some or every degree and may not even be able to help themselves to toilet. So as not to demoralise them and thereby make them prone to further deterioration, the care and support must be of high quality and committed -- it takes very little carelessness for a paralysed patient to develop a bed sore -- deadly in its effect - and usual when nursing care is deficient -- a paralysed patient's position must be changed at least every 2 hours!! Spiritually, you will find that prayers will help --seriously. You can't pray? Well psalms are ready -made prayers and work if prayed conscientiously. Witchcraft? Confessions? Hmmh. Let's just say that it is true that many diseases disabilities, discomforts, diasasters and depressing adversities are negatively spiritually engineered by agents of darkness. If you read my book,"Destroying the Strongholds of Witchcraft" you will learn much in its 333 pages that will be useful to your brother and your prayers. Call the helplines or send e mail to find out how to obtain the book.
Cheers

Belly Pains At Night
Dear Dr Bibbi,
I am a regular reader of the Tuesday edition of the Sun newspaper. Of all the columns, yours is my best. This is so because I have learnt and share with people their experiences and problems. May God continue to grant you wisdom. Doctor, my problem is about pains which I experience at the left side of the abdomen. These pains started about two years ago; when I was a member of the Karate club. I thought it was because of stomach exercise until the pain persisted even when I stopped the exercise. These pains mostly occur at night. Please, doctor what do you think is the cause? What test should I perform-- X-rays; scan etc? I really need your help. Your reply could be by e-mail or on my favorite column on Tuesday. Thanks for your help.
Yours Sincerely,
EKK, Enugu
Dear EKK,
What you describe sounds very uncomfortably like Peptic Ulcer of the stomach and must be seen as such by your doctor until proven otherwise. Peptic ulcer causes pain in the belly in the region you described; although the pain could also be located in the upper middle belly; lower chest; right upper belly; middle belly around the navel or just all over. Secondly, the pains are worse in the night or when the stomach is empty--that is when you have not eaten in a long time. The doctor would like to do tests like a special X ray called Barium Enema as well as a gastroscopy to prove that you really have an ulcer. He might also need to do Occult Blood tests on your stool. Apart from ulcer, pancreatitis, a gall bladder inflammation or cholecystitis, hepatitis and pneumonia may cause similar symptoms.
Cheers

Brain Fag Syndrome
Brain Fag Syndrome
Dear Doctor,
Thanks for spreading the wisdom of healthy living to we ignorant of the essence. I really appreciate your humane contribution to betterment to our society in term of healthy living. May good lord continue to reward you generously. Sir, I have persistent problem of battling fatigue on daily basis. Been a bookish individual, I have long developed the habit turn addict of reading on a daily basis. Early this year I started experiencing a slight ache sparking intermittently on the far right temple of my head. Despite my 8 to 9 hours of night sleep, the symptom has now turned to a full-blown fatigue. The continuing buzzing has commenced traveling vigorously through even the once safe regions of my head, thereby causing intense discomfort. Normally, I do up to 4 to 5 hours of reading at a go. But now I can’t even clock 2hours. I’ve gone on a personal diagnose of swallowing sleeping pills to help ease the persistent throbbing and drumming in my head. Please help doc, I can’t stand this any longer. My head is now like a beehive jam-packed with million buzzing bees. Your avid reader,
Lawry Jones; Ijeshatedo, Lagos
Dear Lawry Jones,
You have what is known as the brain fag syndrome, meaning your brain is fatigued or tired from so much effort to study and succeed. Here is a bit of research on brain--fag : "has been shown to occur very widely in African students in western educational systems south of the Sahara. But in this case, the fag is primarily experienced by stressed-out students in Nigeria and other parts of Africa--a reaction, it is said, to the alien pressures of Western-style book learning. Symptoms include difficulties in concentrating, remembering, and thinking, as well as burning or crawling sensations under the skin and visual disturbances. Studiation madness is a term used in Trinidad for a similar syndrome./Ethiopians refer to the brain-fag syndrome as "overworking of the head" due to the strain of studying. Prince, who first described the syndrome in Nigerian students and characterized its symptoms, emphasized that it stems from a cultural clash between African and Western civilizations./brain fag or brain fog: (West Africa) a condition experience by high school or university students. Symptoms include difficulties in concentrating, remembering, and thinking. Students often state that their brains are "fatigued". Additional symptoms center around the head and neck and include pain, pressure, tightness, blurring of vision, heat, or burning."
You see, about 1960, a certain professor of psychiatry working incidentally in Nigeria here ( Ibadan, I believe) by the name of Prince, described this syndrome and it has been widely accepted all over the world although there is still a considerable amount of skepticism on the part of other psychiatrists who feel that it is just a mere anxiety neurosis or depressive neurosis. The controversy is not strange and in fact has a very interesting aspect to it in that my Ife University Professor of Psychiatry; Olufemi Morakinyo believes in the brain fag syndrome and has written widely on it, while his equally Nigerian colleague working from Canada (formerly of Ibadan); Professor R. Olukayode Jegede feels there is nothing special about brain fag. The two professors are my close acquaintances!!! You see the key to understanding both the professors and the disease is the word "syndrome". Whenever doctors or medical scientists use that word for a disease the full meaning is that they do not totally understand the disease they are trying to describe. One scientist/doctor may see it this way, another sees it differently. Which is not strange either-- it has taken time to fully elucidate the natural history of most diseases that we fully understand today. What with South African President Thabo Mbeki actually claiming -- with some scientists (who are now being proved wrong) that AIDS is not caused by HIV and so on!!! Why? Well AIDS is a syndrome-- half understood -- even till now--although we're getting there gradually. So, what is my advice to you? Well, see a good doctor/ psychiatrist. Also, see your pastor/priest. Being a doctor and pastor to boot, if I were to treat you, I would physically thoroughly examine and investigate you to make sure you do not lack any micro-nutrients that could negatively affect the brain and then give you medications/nutrients that would help brain power; psychologically treat you for anxiety neurosis and --yes brain fag-- including full explanations of the disorder and the controversies it has generated while giving you assurance you would be cured; but spiritually, with prayer to God for hidden spiritual roots to your problem -- for if you ask me I would say, simply, that brain fag could very well be spiritually--engineered difficulties and obstacles placed in the way of especially brilliant, ambitious and academically gifted individuals like you to make sure their destinies are thwarted and ruined. By giving treatment at the 3 levels of human existence I would not fail.

Liver Problem
Liver Problem
Hi Dr Bibbi,
I need your medical practitioner advice.Late this year,i discover my urine changes its colour into light brown,and i did some lab test:
1st test:glucose=neg,urobilinogen=h+[12.5mg/dl],bilirubin=+,ketone=neg,nitrite=neg,PH=5.5,blood=neg,protein=neg,Asa=neg,s.grow=1.025
2nd test:T.bilirubin=1.5,direct bilirubin=1.1,SGOT=353,SGPT=385,ALK PHOS=106.
And i went 2 my doctor and he told me its liver problem,and there is remedy.he prescribed ESSENTIALE FORTE 4 me 2 be using.i have been using the prescribed drug but the proces is very slow.sometime it changes to its normal urine colour while sometime to the light brown colour.doc,should i continue with the prescribed drug or can u prescribe another one 4 me that will hasten the health.thanx
Lawry Law, Lagos
Dear Lawry,
Yes, the liver enzymes, SGOT and SGPT are abnormally high in Hepatitis. Liver enzymes help maintain a variety of chemical and metabolic processes that occur in the liver. Normally, very small amounts of these enzymes can be detected in your blood. Common causes of higher-than-normal liver enzymes include:
Infections such as viral hepatitis; Certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics and anti seizure medications; mononucleosis; exposure to toxins such as alcohol and fumes of some organic solvents; tumors in the liver or bile ducts
Gallstones.Treatment depends on the underlying cause of elevated liver enzymes. An initial step in detecting liver damage is a simple blood test to determine the presence of certain liver enzymes in the blood. Under normal circumstances, these enzymes reside within the cells of the liver. But when the liver is injured, these enzymes are spilled into the blood stream.
Among the most sensitive and widely used of these liver enzymes are the transaminases. They include SGOT and SGPT. These enzymes are normally contained within liver cells. If the liver is injured, the liver cells spill the enzymes into blood, raising the enzyme levels in the blood and signaling the liver damage.
What are the transaminases?
The transaminases catalyze chemical reactions in the cells in which an amino group is transferred from a donor molecule to a recipient molecule. Hence, the names transaminases. SGOT and SGPT are sensitive indicators of liver damage from different types of disease. Continue the prescribed medicines. You will also find the following two herbs very useful in liver disease -- bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina) and bitter cola. Use them liberally.
Cheers

How To get Him Well?
How To get Him Well?
Dear Dr. Oluranti
I read with interest your article "Aaron's astrocytoma "and it occurred to me you might be able to help. I am a retired Consultant Dermatologist and my son has been a professional with the media in UK for over eight years. About 6 weeks ago he wrote to me informing me that my grandson (13 year old academically brilliant and musically gifted) is ill and the doctors cannot put a finger to what is going on. See how my grandson described his problem below
To Grandpa,
It's Demide and I'm replying to your email. I'm missing a lot of school, my symptoms are: I have a sore throat, a bad stomach, bad headaches, heart burn from time to time, sore eyes; I always feel tired, a
very bad back and I can't always get to sleep at night. How are you any way? Hope you reply soon. Love From Demide
My son said the doctors consulted so far in London think it is post viral infection symptoms and that with time it will clear off, but instead it is getting worse. I will personally appreciate it if you can direct my son to the proper hospital to take his son to.
Dermatologist Grandpa
Sir,
As a medical professional, I salute your courage in seeking help—always get a second opinion. It can mean the difference between life and death. London is good enough place to get correct medical help. But definitely if the boy is getting worse, we must not rest. A new hospital? I think, better than the hospital it’s a new professional who will use a new approach that you really need. Especially when, as you said, the doctors are good (UK), they cannot really put a finger on a diagnosis, and they are losing the battle – the boy is not wetting well. Personally, I do not waste time—if improvement is expected in 24 hours and I am not getting it, I approach my cases with a different paradigm immediately. What paradigm? Well, you agree man is not just a body, but body, mind and spirit together. So, for the mind, I ask, “Is there a psychological angle to this?” For the spiritual, I ask, “Is there a spiritual root?” Having a high index of suspicion is useful in these cases where you already have access to the best in physical terms but you are getting unsatisfactory results. So I look holistically at the case – any mind-based problems? Anxiety? Conflicts? Stresses? You never know. This is the area referred to as Psycho-Somatic Medicine. After doing a thorough search in this domain, I know that beyond the subconscious is the spiritual or the unconscious. So, I ask-- What is the boy’s sleep pattern like? Any nightmares? What is the content of his dreams? I call this Spiritual Lab. It is real—very real. We then use the knowledge we glean to clear the case and cure the ailment; using the indicated medications all the way(for the body); adding confidence building mentorship and psycho-therapy(for the mind) and prayer which is the basis of all spiritual intervention. If you need a second opinion from us in your case or that of a relative, call the helplines.

ACHING ANUS
ACHING ANUS
Dear Doctor,
Good day sir. I have a kind of ache in my anus. It was not there before.
I just saw it and if I go to excrete I sometimes feel pain. I don't
know what to do. I would be glad to hear from you soon.
Dennis Saggei, Warri, Delta
Dear Dennis,
If you feel this pain principally when you go to stool and you do
not bleed, then we can safely assume that perhaps your stools are
hard--in other words you get constipation and that it is this constipated,
hard stools that are the cause of the aching anus. You must understand that
hard stools are the leading cause of a dozen or so conditions that can
ache your anus; especially if associated with stooling. Other conditions are
a)Cuts in the skin or tissues(we call these fissure-in-ano) of the anus
--again; dry hard stools cause this, leading to b) infection and maybe
c) a boil or d)an abscess. This may end up as d) a "fistula-in-ano" when
the pus from the abscess causes a track in the tissues as it tries to find
it's way out. e) injury to the bum as well as e)Anal sex f)Pile or hemorrhoids
especially when they are clotted and g)infected; h)STD's and proctalgia fugax,a
self limiting condition common among teenagers as well as i)prolapse of the
rectum; common among women who have delivered many babies -- ALL can also cause
aching anus. It is only after you have seen a good doctor and he has listened
to your full description of the problem, cross examined and physically looked you
up can anyone say which of these causes you have. Before you see the doctor,
these half a dozen measures will help you tremendously a)Sit on warm water at
least twice a day --sitz bath it's called b) Drink lots of water--up to 10
glasses a day--2 each on waking and rising and at each meal; c)Eat a good portion
of one of these fruits/vegetables daily so as to get plenty of fibre into your
gut which will automatically soften your stool--pawpaw, pineapple, garden
eggs, water melon, cucumber, apples and golden melon-- d)Go to stool once nature
calls--do not delay until it is unbearable; e)Get lots of exercise; f)-- and I
call this "Dr Oluranti's Technical Knock Out"-- use some Vaseline or other
lubricant on your finger to lubricate your anal canal before you stool and
no matter how hard the stools, they will be easily and greasily slipped out
of your system with great relief

Darker Urine!!
Please Doctor,
I have a problem i would like 2 share with u.over one year now,my urine are not white any more.Sometimes it would be either yellow,brown or lemon in colour.I am, huge in stature but with small penis about 6 inches.I am ashamed of it.Please tell me how to increase it naturally.u are mu last hope or i would commit suicide[God forbid]Please help me sir.
VXS,Lokoja, Kogi State
Dear VXS,

I have a problem i would like 2 share with u.over one year now,my urine are not white any more.Sometimes it would be either yellow,brown or lemon in colour.I am, huge in stature but with small penis about 6 inches.I am ashamed of it.Please tell me how to increase it naturally.u are mu last hope or i would commit suicide[God forbid]Please help me sir.

WET DREAMS AND MARRIAGE?
WET DREAMS AND MARRIAGE?
Dear Doctor,
Is it normal for a man who has not known any woman to be having wet-
dreams? That is, after having dreamt of seeing a woman (either naked or
not) and in the process, through an instinct; his body releases watery
substance (sperm). How normal or abnormal is it? When he now want to
relate with his wife can this affect the release of sperm having
experience wet-dreams before? How true is it that one should meet his
wife 15 days after her period? What happens if one does so before or
after the completion of 15 days? What method does a man who did not
have initial experience with any woman apply when meeting his wife for
the first time? Or how does he go about it having no experience with a
woman before?
Babalo Mauhe, Kogi
Dear Babalo,
Wet dreams are very common among adolescent(teenage) and young adult
males but can happen to any male at any age. They are of two major
types--the normal and the abnormal. The first is normal wet dreaming.
Again, this normal type has two categories. The first category of
normal happens once in a while and is because the system keeps
producing millions of sperm cells which are not used up in a male that
is not sexually active. Just like a woman menstruates every month when
she is not gotten pregnant so also does a man who is not sexually
active release an accumulation of sperm cells via wet dreams once in a
while. This is a normal thing. The second category of normal is when a
man stimulates himself --through over concentration in his mind or with
his eyes or thoughts on the opposite sex. This will cause a normal
excitement of his system which will result in wet dreams more often
than the first category. We can see and understand that this type is
psychological.
There are two types of abnormal wet dreaming. The first is physical
only. It happens because the man has a disease called Chronic
Prostatitis.This wet dreaming is frequent and many times, vivid--the
man sees himself actually having sex in the dream and releasing semen
as a result. Or he may not really have the sex but just be in
preparation to. Chronic Prostatitis has other clinical features --
discharge from the prostate without any sexual stimulation; back ache
and or other varieties and types of pain in the pelvis--things moving
in the organ; painful penis scrotum, testes; groin; pudendum(underneath
the genitals), anus etc etc; sexual inadequacy of all types --
especially premature ejaculation that was not present before; frequency
of urination and so on. Again, there may be no symptoms or signs at
all. It is diagnosed by carefully seeking germs and an appropriate
immune reaction in either the urine and/or the semen or the prostatic fluid
-- sometimes after the patient has voided urine. Many germs can cause
prostatitis -- some of them are E. Coli; Staphylococccus; Candida;
trichomoniasis, viruses--among the non-sexually transmitted ones and
gonorrhea and chlamydia among the sexually transmitted.
The second type of abnormal wet dreaming, I am afraid, is spiritual
more than physical. Here, a man has a sexual encounter with a lady and
three or four things begin to happen from the time he had the
encounter. a) Sexual Inadequacy of various types descend on him--
premature ejaculation, only one round, weak erection and so on. b)He
begins to have wet dreams c)In these wet dreams the particular girl or
lady he had the index sexual encounter with becomes very prominent--as
in he either begins to see her or her cohorts in the dreams more
frequently or the location or elements of his encounter with her
continue to plague him either in the dreams or in the mind and d) He
often also has a Chronic prostatitis --which may or may not have any
symptoms. This category of men usually receive treatment for Chronic
Prostatitis over and over again but either never get well or never get
well fully or get well now but fall ill later(usually after another
bout of this their wet dreaming--but he may not know, poor man!!). They
may also notice they have dwindling financial fortunes and difficulty
making babies and or progress in other ways.
The remedy is to see a doctor/urologist who also understands the link
between the physical, the mental and the spirirtual and like you can
discern from this answer we have helped many folks tackle this very
delicate problem before and can confidently say we get total cures for
those who strictly follow the treatment regimens which we give them.Chronic Prostatitis, you
see, is a very notoriously difficult ailment to treat by any practitioner--doctor, urologist or
alternative anywhere in the world.
Now can a man with no sexual experience get these problems? Yes. The
last type can come on a man even if he had nothing to do with the said
girl--all she needs is to pick a strong interest in him --she can--and often does -- meet
him in the dreams, remember?
As for the psychological type -- of course a man can also have it
without sex. The physical and normal type of wet dreaming, we have said
occurs mainly in the unmarried or the married who have, in recent times, not
been sexually active.
Inexperience with sex before marriage is not a bad thing if the man is
willing to learn--either from his wife or from books or from experts.Of
course the wife, too, may not know too much so we are definitely not advocating
that you wait take lectures from your wife.
It is very bad if a man will behave like someone I met recently who was
suffering from premature ejaculation dating back to since he began
having sex--a well to do, educated man who asked me -- what is
premature ejaculation? It transpired that he did not know; was guilty
of it and all he did during sex with wife or girl-friends was just
satisfy himself. He did not know he had to help his partner to reach
orgasm during sex!!! We have written a manual that will help you if you
are in this category. Just send us an e mail to find out how to get
it.
In summary, get books to educate yourself so you can be ready for your
matrimonial privileges/duties. You'll also learn there is no magic about 15 days
after menses to have sex for babies --if you'll reach out and read up on these things, that
is. You don't need to turn promiscuous--that carries the risk of STD's and HIV/AIDS.

To Stop Menstrual Pain
To Stop Menstrual Pain
Dear Doctor Sir,
How are you doing over there? Hope fine? Due to certain circumstances I
stopped communicating. Well, my question is, is there any thing to stop
menstrual pain permanently because it is really disturbing me?. Doctor,
please I need the answer urgently sir. Please help me; and also my face is
pretty smooth --as in -- I'm not having pimples -- but some things like
hot rashes appear, but they aren't. Will you help, please? The things don't
itch, anyway.
Bye sir, and take care.
Lilian Denure, Osun
Dear Lilian,
Menstrual pain is of 2 types --the primary and the secondary. If you always
had menstrual pain all your life --ever since you began to menstruate, we call
that Primary Dysmenorrhea.
Secondary Dysmenorrhea began only recently in the life of the lady sufferer --
she did not use to have the pain before.It just started in recent months. It
is called Secondary because it is actually secondary to certain problems or
conditions or disease that has only just recently overtaken the lady.Three of such
conditions are P I D--Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Endometriosis and Fibroids.
The commonest cause in Nigeria is P I D. PID has to be diagnosed and treated
properly if it will not cause Secondary Infertility. When and if the underlying
cause of Secondary Dysmenorrhea is treated, it disappears--and that is all.
Primary Dysmenorrhea is a different kettle of fish and happens usually to
ladies whose internal passage (the cervix --not the vagina now) where the mens--
trual fluid will pass from the womb to the outside --to the upper vagina -- is too narrow or under--
developed -- a condition known as Cervical Hypoplasia. They get permanent relief
after they deliver their first baby through the cervix (Spontaneous Vaginal
Delivery--in contradistinction to Caeserian Section where the baby does not
pass through the cervix. Note that I said they will get relief after normal
delivery-- I did not say they will get relief after sex--these are 2 different
things. It is not the sex that is needed but the delivery which helps to widen
the hypoplastic(small, underdeveloped and narrow cervix, not vagina). The vagina is where
the penis stays during sex. But beyond the vagina in any normal lady is the cervix--located at
the top end of the vagina. This cervix is the gateway into the womb or uterus.
Before delivery of babies, however our lady sufferer will have to use pain
killers to stop menstrual pain. Ordinary aspirin will help. So will Alabukun,
paracetamol, Panadol or Cafenol.The best drugs to use, however are the
Non-Steroidal Anti- Inflammatory drugs or NSAIDS. They block the action of
the Prostaglandins which are the real culprit behind the pain of Primary
Dysmenorrhea. NSAIDS must never be taken on an empty stomach just like
aspirin,Alabukun and Cafenol but must be taken with milk.
4 other things will help. a)Warm water bottle applied to the belly, b)Exercise or activity--not
bed rest which will worsen the pain, c)massage of the pelvis, waist and back, d)Contraceptive
pills or injections.
Use these; see how they help and send me feedback.
Your rashes must be seen to be properly diagnosed--no way I can begin to guess
what they are unless I see you face to face --or maybe photos of the rashes; okay?

Strange Ailment!
Strange Ailment!
Doc,
I have a very serious case at hand. My father has been very sick for over 7 months, His legs got swollen and now they are rottening. He is not diabetic; nothing was found in his blood. We have spent money and time; no solution. Now he is losing weight fast. Please what are we going to do now? We all know it has a spiritual undertone. Please help me fast. Send us some of your great advice. Thank you, doc
SammyLee, Sabongida Ora; Edo
Dear Sammy,
What you describe sounds like cancer-- classically, there is anorexia, anemia and cachexia.-- that is, loss of appetite; less than enough blood, and weight loss. Very likely, he stepped on (spiritual) poison. Get water. Pray Psalms 51 to 64 into it seven times. And from then, pray the same once daily into the water. Let him use the water always -- to dress the wound; wash it and so on and so forth. Add more water as it diminishes with use. Begin to use honey to dress the wound. Get the priest to pray for him. Fast 3 days a week for his life. Take him for deliverance --but do not stop his medications. I repeat -- do not, because you are praying abandon medical help. Use his drugs for him; okay? Usually in these types of cases, if nothing proper is done the patient not only loses weight but may begin and continue to diminish in size mysteriously till they expire. Send me weekly feedback. You can send for my address if you want me on the case. To be plain honest with you, God taught us to get results in these types of funny cases. You will not lose him, in Jesus Name; Amen
Cheers

Raped and Dying!!!
Raped and Dying!!!
Good day Doc,
I am a young girl of 16yrs[next month].l do read Sun newspaper but not on daily basis ,but the few l manage to read, l always read about health and l must confess, you are doing a great and wonderful job and may the good Lord continue to bless u in Jesus name Amen...l have this problem that makes me not to think of better future for myself. l know everybody always thinks ahead but for me, it seems my whole life is not worth living.lt all started when l was 13yrs,l was raped by my sister's boyfriend[and his friend]. l tried everything l could so that nobody will know what happened cos at my age,l'm expected to be a virgin even now.but after much,my mum got to know about everything but instead of her to take me to the hospital for proper treatment and check-up,[ie after l have recovered]she thinks of nothing like that.it was after some few months that l started to notice some changes in my body like;l urinates all the time,l respires a lot even after coming out from the bathroom,l always have this yellowish/brownish foul discharge from my private part that forces me to bath all the time like say 6 times in a day.every morning l used to have severe waist pains.l grow weak all the time; l can't stand for more than good 10mins and the worst is that l grow thin every day though am slim and even at night, l service the toilet.l told my mum about it but she said that there is nothing wrong with me but l knew l have problem;so l have to save some money for a test.l went for blood and urine test. l was Hiv negative thank God, but tested Staph positive.
To be frank,l was short of words.l found it so hard to believe that such disease do exist in nigeria not to talk of a young girl like me having it. l couldn't help but started crying. No day passes by without me crying my eyes out and right now, l'm tired of crying cos l no longer have the strength to do that. Last year, l visited one hospital and paid 1500naira for some injections but it was to no avail. Every day as l said earlier, l grew weaker and thinner. l see myself as somebody that has Hiv cos l read in one book that staph kills after some yrs. l no longer take anything in me serious esp my diet. Sometimes,l don't eat at all. l later tried some herbal medicine that costs me almost 10,000naira but no way[all this expenses from my personal savings]. l never buy the idea of telling my mum cos she never cared in the first place. l won't say that am worried or bothered, but my future is no longer bright with this disease in me. But yesterday,l was going through sun newspaper and doctor Bibbi promised sending a free report on how to get rid of staph to one guy if he will send an e-mail to you.Pls doc,l want the sincere truth,and that is to know if mine can be cured and if yes,will l be able to have my own babies cos this deadly and silence disease has stayed in my system for good 3yrs.Doc,l must tell u that u are my only hope. Pls pls pls send me also the free report on how to get rid of mine.l will never forget it if u help me.Am looking forward to ur reply.l have to leave cos l'm weak here before l will faint.
Raped and Dying, Onitsha
Dear Raped and Dying,
I feel for you and the fact that you seem to have no one to sucour you--not even your mother. A warning to all ladies whose mothers are uncaring, unfeeling, insensitive and downright abusive -- you have a statistically significant rate of rape and accident proneness -- so beware. The same goes for men who have overbearing, aggressive mothers-- they marry later and their marriages are less successful. If you want more help on this-- especially to find out deep reasons why this is so and what to do, send me an e mail. As for your staphylococcus challenge,my free report detailing steps to get rid of Staph will be sent to anyone who is interested if they request it from staphdoctor@yahoo.com or sign up for it at our web-site www.mediamedix.blogspot.com.You will be surprised how detailed an explanation is given and how easy it is to access cure. But be assured you will not only get well but be able to have your babies in future, okay?

Boils on the Genitals
Boils on the Genitals
Dear Doctor,
I've been reading your responses to people's questions to regarding their health situation; I must say that I'm glad so far. Please doctor, for sometime now, I've been having some boils around my private parts --the groin to be specific. It appears like pimples. It’s actually like pimple, because any time it's ripe, it does brings out some whitish substance like that of pimple. Please help me out. Expecting your reply through this medium if possible.
Thanks. Yours

Dear Shege,
Your question is very relevant because you find a lot of folks with the same concern--boils, pimples, bumps or some hard nodules or papules near, at or on their genitals. What could it be?
The best approach is to ask yourself the question--what is the origin? Did it just begin or has it been coming and going for a long time? If it began a long while ago, how did it start--just after sex with a particular person--or what?
Because --here is the first major distinction that will give you peace of mind--if it is a question of no sexual contact at all then it is very likely to be nothing to write home about . General, non sex related causes of boils are bad hygiene and diabetes as well as kidney infection and generally lowered immunity.
Then talking non sexually again you must understand that the genitals, like the armpits, the face the buttocks and some other parts of the body where skin lies on skin and there is likely to be friction contain a lot of oily glands; sweat glands and so on and are prone to have these boils--yes they are just ordinary boils--naturally.
It is nothing to worry about. The hair follicle could get infected because the hair has grown inside on its itself --called ingrown hair follicle. It could also be a cyst --these ones tend to extrude some whitish or liquid stuff when pressed. They are inconsequential. Incidentally these boils are all likely to be caused by the ubiquitous germ --ever p[resent on the skin well known and referred to as Staphylococcus aureus--harmless really unless it gets deep into tissues like the prostate, brain, inner lining of the heart or lungs or causes food poisoning.
Having said this I must warn that you always need to see a doctor to actually look see any skin problem because to assume could be deadly. Particularly if there is a recent history of sexual exposure you will need to rule out things like syphilitic chancre, genital warts, herpes and molluscum contagiosum; and Behcet's Syndrome and so on and so forth. These sexually transmitted or sexually associated conditions need to be thoroughly assessed by doctors trained to do so.
If you stay in a capital or city or University town, your best bet is to go and see a dermatologist at the University teaching hospital or Federal Medical Centre or even the General Hospital.There you will find dermatological evaluation which, really is the best for you
Cheers

Antihypertensive Wonder Medication
Antihypertensive Wonder Medication
Dear Dr,
Can you please help me verify-- is it true that there are medicines available now that can help treat hypertension without the side-effect of loss of sexual acuity? I am even told that the same drugs can increase libido. Is this true? And what drugs are these?
K.T.Faluu; Port Harcourt
Dear K.T,
One of the most challenging problems in the care of patients with high blood pressure is patient noncompliance with antihypertensive therapy -- that is, for various reasons, patients do not take their drugs the way they should. One reason is that men on older high blood pressure medications (diuretics, beta-blockers) complain of severe erectile dysfunction. But as if to counter this common complaint, there is now, in truth, a new class of drugs to treat hypertension, that actually boost libido and research has shown for these drugs the highest rate of persistence in the use of the medicines.
These drugs are found to be very well tolerated and are not associated with the side-effects known to cause compliance problems with beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers such as impotence, dry cough and peripheral edema.The drugs reverse sexual dysfunction - significantly improving the sex lives of men who suffer from sexual dysfunction-- but not only men they actually improve sexual function in men and women with hypertension.
Men and women being treated with these drugs for mild-to-moderate hypertension appear to show improvements in sexual function and desire and impotent patients on them find increased interest in sex.Hypertensive patients with erectile dysfunction who are taking the drugs find they have increased sexual desire –and what's more these wonder antihypertensives that enhance libido also-- that is -- have the added advantages of reducing the chances of diabetes developing -- they had a 23% lower risk of developing diabetes during four or more years of the study of the drugs.
Also, these drugs work quite as well as any of the best in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.Your interest in the medications is justified-- however they are not OTC's -- over the counter medications-- so we have to see face to face so we can properly help you with them.
We have sent you details and will oblige anyone (just call the help lines) of how you can do this and regain -- maybe even increase -- your sexual power while effectively controlling your hypertension -- no matter what your age is!!!
Valsartan – or DIOVAN – that’s the name of the medicine. Others in the same class of medicines (ARBs) include the following drugs:
candesartan
eprosartan
irbesartan
losartan
olmesartan
telmisartan
valsartan
Note that each of the ARBs named above ends with "sartan.
Valsartan (Diovan) is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (more commonly called an "ARB", or angiotensin receptor blocker), with particularly high affinity for the type I (AT1) angiotensin receptor.
By blocking the action of angiotensin, valsartan dilates blood vessels and reduces blood pressure.[1] In the U.S., valsartan is indicated for treatment of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure (CHF), or post-myocardial infarction (MI).In 2005, Diovan was prescribed more than 12 million times in the United States and global sales were approximately $6.0 billion.
In the US, valsartan is marketed by Novartis under the trade name Diovan. In Pakistan, it is marketed by Efroze under the trade name Angiotan. In India, it is marketed by Cipla under the trade name Valtan and by Torrent Pharmaceuticals under the trade name Valzaar. In Egypt it is marketed by Novartis under the name of Tareg.
I have looked around to gather this information for you to introduce you to the medicine.Please do not hesitate to ask for further help in any area you need explanation

Married With No Kids!
Married; No Kids!
I am a regular reader of your piece YOU AND YOUR HEALTH I am forty years old; I have been on fertility drugs since four years ago --proviron and rovigon-- a case secondary infertility -- to no avail. I want to know if masturbation is the cause because I used to do it after and before my marriage. 3 weeks back I have stopped it. Please, tell me the drugs to take and how they’ll affect me. Also any time I ejaculate into my wife, sperm always pours out. Please reply personally and publish it .THANKS.
Answer:
Infertility has nothing to do with masturbation -- believe me. Medically there is absolutely no correlation; okay? But why any married person would also be masturbating-- well I don't understand. Imagine a married woman masturbating!! Imagine a married man leaving his willing and waiting wife, entering into some hole or corner of the house like Saddam--and firing off all alone. What loneliness!! If you want help to stop this habit that binds and habituates so cruelly-- send to us for a free file that will help you. In your case, the pouring out of semen is significant. Very obviously, it looks like something is trying to make sure no sperm gets into your wife's womb to fertilize her eggs -- what with your wasting the stuff at masturbation and its pouring out during or after sex!!! I am almost sure that if we check your semen right now, you also have low sperm count or none at all -- oligospermia or azoospermia-- all so there'll just be no baby! What am I saying? Infertility usually has negative supernatural or spiritual foundations that need prayerful intervention by God!!! That notwithstanding, you can tackle it best by getting physical, mental (emotional) and spiritual help to work in tandem or all together-- not by neglecting one area and exclusively focusing on just one. Your best bet? Together with your wife, see a good doctor or gynecologist who also understands these matters
