Dear KOO,
Diabetes Mellitus is the disease that readily comes to mind when you talk of your problems. It is easy to confirm or deny whether or not it is the cause of your symptoms. Very easy. Just ask a doctor to send you for these 3 tests: a)Urine Analysis; b)Random Blood Glucose ;c) Glucose Tolerance test. The results will tell if you have diabetes or not. Type 1(childhood onset) diabetes classically shows itself with 3 features a)Polydipsia-- too much water drinking; b)Polyuria -- too much urination; and c)Polyphagia with weight loss-- eating too much but not gaining weight -- in fact, actually losing weight! You can see that you almost fit this description. With Type 2 or maturity(adult) onset diabetes; there is usual weight--gain (not weight loss) as a predisposing factor -- not as a consequence. Of course there is the ubiquitous polyuria -- too much urination and of course, over much thirst and water-drinking. Why cannot I prescribe drugs for you to gain weight without seeing you and examining you and investigating you properly? Because there are many diseases that cause weight-loss. If you do have Type 1 Diabetes, you could just die-- yes --actually just die while taking some general weight-gain medicines that I could write for you. Die from the diabetes. You see, Type 1 diabetes kills without the use of insulin because the organ called the pancreas that produces insulin in the human being is sick --very much so -- in the diabetic; and so, does not produce any insulin again. Without insulin which helps the body to use glucose; there is too much glucose in the blood; intoxicating the brain and causing coma(and if insulin is not given --available only by injections) -- death.In the case of diabetes, if indeed you have it, treatment would not be drugs to gain weight, but appropriate management, using, of course, insulin without which death will occur. So please, hurry up and go see a good doctor today. Send me feedback.
Cheers

Heart Cry Over Staphylococcus
Heart-Cry!!!
Dear Doctor,
I have for years been diagnosed as having a scanty growth of Staphylococcus aureus. I have equally received several treatment from several hospitals to no avail or so I think. Some doctors have also told me to ignore the test result and remove my mind from it as it was not a problem per se. However, i have been married for over five years now without a child and in the circumstance; I am forced to think of all possible reasons so that solutions can be sought. Some of my lab investigations have shown a high percentage of inactive/dead semen in motility checks - 15% active, 65%sluggish, 20%dead, with a count of 48x10 to power6 cells/cm(3) to power 3! My SFA yielded no bacterial growth after 24hrs incubation @37degrees centigrade. But a swab culture yielded a scanty growth of Staphylococcus spp? After 48hrs incubation at 37degrees!
I am currently receiving treatment at LUTH ( Medilag Consult /Prenatal Diagnosis & treatment centre,) . I have paid heavily for all sorts of tests- cytoclines screening (historone, TNF-alpha, IL2, IL6, IL8, Thyrglobin);Fructase, acid phosphate, alkaline Phosphate; Testosterone, Inhibin B, Prolactin, FSH, LH,; Sperm AB, IgA, IgM,; PSA, ANA, ACA, CRP, etc. Most of the results show normal ranges.
After reading your response on Staph and HIV/AIDS in the Sun of Tuesday Feb. 22, 2005, I decided to write and ask for your opinion/advise on the above matter. Has Staph anything to do with my present childless condition? I will appreciate if you can assist me get out of this problem and enjoy my married life with children of my own.
Will appreciate your reply via mail

Dear DRV,
Please Stop! Please stop all those tests and running around to no avail and listen. Listen really carefully-- Very likely, you are faced with what I call a Peculiar Disease(PEDI) or a Spiritually Inflicted Disease Entity(SIDES). Proof? All the most hi-falutin tests medicaments and doctors in the whole world and yet --ALL TO NO AVAIL!!!. What to do? Simple. See a doctor/physician or practitioner like me who understands that " God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breathe of life and man became a living mind or soul" Genesis 2.7. Man is not body alone!!! Man is a spirit; resident in a body and equipped with a mind-- body, mind and spirit --problems can come from any of the 3 areas!!! You are looking for solutions where there are none. The problem is beyond your body. Maybe in your mind or mental space. Or more likely, spiritually inflicted. How to tackle SIDES? Prayer. Fervent prayer-- and more. I do not apologise for this. I even said it in the write- up you refer to, --that of last week-- that there are mysterious, strange and solution- defying problems that can only be solved by God's intervention. But then -- if all you'll do is prayer-- why are you a doctor, you may ask? No Sir!! You must approach such problems from all 3 angles -- at the same time!! Use your drugs. Please use your drugs; treat the staph or whatever the label it is given. You see the real name of what you face is Childlessness; simple. Childlessness masquerading behind a perpetual diagnosis of Staph. By all means, get as much medical help as you have the opportunity to. Do not be a fool. But pray and use your mind also. For an instance of using your mind, why will you still be childless even after all the Staph has disappeared and your sperm count is okay with the motility? Yes, Staph in the prostate(SFA) or Expressed Prostatic Secretion(EPS) will destroy sperm cells causing low or no sperm count but your semen is now free. The swab culture is a contaminant. Learn all you need to about the condition facing you so you can tackle it successfully. For example, if Staph is your worry, send now to staphdocotor@yahoo.com for free details of what to do. We routinely do this for people and have the great satisfaction that we do solve such problems --cancer, HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, infertility, Staphylococcus or other such unspeakable distresses like the ones below..

We're Both AS --Can We Marry?
2.We're Both AS --Can We Marry?
Dear Doctor,
I am in my early forties. I found and fell in love with a caring, beautiful lady in her early thirties whom I intend to marry. However,as a lab. scientist, she insists on running my genotype test since I didn't know mine before any tangible step is taken to formalize the union. She is an AS and my result is also AS.This medically puts a stop to my lofty dream of contracting a lasting union with my heart-throb. Is there no way out of this medical impediment as I would not want to lose this inestimable gem I want to marry? Please, advise me through this same medium. Bless you,
Friday Okagbue, Festac, Lagos
Dear Friday,
Your case is so typical of the condition-- pathetic and very sorry-- of lost humanity that you would almost weep when you consider the gargantuan dimensions of the decision you are about to make.
1. God in His infinite mercuy and as a Faithful Creator who has provided what you and I will eat in this world ever before we were born --provided all the 100,000 barrels of oil every day that Nigeria will need to use --and all the air all 6 billion of us humans will use for all our hundred or so years on earth. He has also --in every case --provided for us beyond our wildest dreams in the area of love --and all of us --almost all -- fall short of this great and infinite blessing of His
2. Now think and consider --if God prepared for you a family-- a dad and mum, all the food you'll need while here on planet earth, and so on and so forth, hadn't you better believe that He has also provided for you --for every last one of us --your lovemate, your sweetheart, your perfect fit heart--throb, your rib-bone and your one and only?
3. Not just that, God brings this gift of a person to meet you -- He causes; most effortlessly; both of you to meet in the most natural/normal of settings usually before you are 25. You may not recognise this person with your head but what happens all the time is that you recognise them with your heart. They are so special-- you want to be with them--it's a pain in the heart to even think of separation from them--every thing about you and them fit so perfectly it's almost unbelievable. Of course you love them --w ith every fibre of your being. You can't imagine not being with them. Both of you are best-friends and understand each other so much it seems you were made just for each other.
4. Then comes a but.... Maybe it's your mum dad or whoever who refuses to endorse them. Or it's the tribe or religion or the medicals or the ... whatever it is.But she's fat!! But he's white!! But he has tribal marks!! But she is from----. But my aunty doesn't like her. But she's AS and I'm AS. But, but but... Now comes the big decision do I bow to these pressures or marry this special person? Let me tell you today --it happens to everyone--whether you are close to God or you don't even believe in him; whether you pray or you curse whether you ar Christian, Muslim or pagan. God is faithful to everyone!!
5. I have a message for you and all humanity:; but especially today for all those of you out there that are not married yet: Make sure you marry that special person--marry them and them alone.Every other decision or person or advice is error and you'll regret it.That is the very first and unrecognised source of marital friction--people abandoning God's great and merciful provision and going their own ways or doing their own thing and getting into wrong marriages in the first instance. Of course they now must manage what they got and endure marriage--something they were meant to enjoy. Why? They missed God's messenger to their lives.
6. If you do not marry for love you miss your way for God is love! God manifests Himself to each of us his human creation by being faithful to bring to us this His special person --and He makes you know it. But we allow our foolishness, ignorance and the devil to deceive us from the way of true love. once you have found true love do not let anything steal it from you for after you miss your way and you now let go of this person you now begin to roam the wilderness of life looking for the person you were given but allowed to be stolen from your life because of your stupidity. You go on searching for 40 years what God gave you in just 40 days and when you conclude you search and marry whoever else it is you find that it really is not what God intended. This is the primary reason for marital disharmony--misfits in marriage!!!!
7. Now then -- for those who want to know more -- "how do I know if I have found him or her" or "how do I even find him or her?" or "Okay, I agree and I see my error but how do I remedy it now that I am married or before I do so"-- "isn't there a second chance and if there is please help me find it" send me a message on docmarrylove@yahoo.com and we'll be glad to sort you out-- for there are many factors/ways by which we are robbed but counsel that brings understanding will remedy this.
My dear friend --read your letter again--it's obvious you found her. Please marry her --and do so quick--you are in your early 40's, so you have been given a rare second chance which you will miss if you begin to dillydally at this point in time. Marry her now so we can prevent another negative marriage statistic!!! AS? SS? If God is truly Love as the Holy Book says and you marry for love forget that 'but' or obstacle--it's only a miracle in preparation. Hurry. Please keep me up to date on the plans. And don't forget to invite me --and The Sun -- to the marriage!
Cheers

Dexacortin Bad for Weight Gain
Weight Gain Medication Safe?
Dear Doctor,
I’m a regular reader of your health line. I really appreciate the way you tackle health problems. May God bless you real good. My problem is that as a girl of 25 yrs of age. I’m supposed to have all the necessary curves on the different parts of the body. Rather it is the reverse. A friend (nurse) prescribed dexacortin tabs for me which I’m presently taking. Doctor, the fact is that since I started taking these tabs, I feel better because it stimulates my appetite and I’m beginning to add weight. Dr. please I want you to tell me more about what you know of these meds, should I continue or discontinue with it, is there any adverse effect of it, please I want to know everything about it or if there is any other alternative to put me to the right shape I’ll love to know all. Thanks
WORRIED GIRL, CALABAR.
Dear Worried Girl,
Dexacortin is a very dangerous drug that should be available only by prescription and not to every Tom, Dick and Harry. It belongs to a special, distinguished class of drugs known and referred to as steroids and cortico-steroids. They are made in the gland above the kidneys called the adrenals and can have very bad side effects if mishandled or abused which, I'm afraid, is what you are doing. All the good effects you say you are seeing are false- very false. That is they are happening not because you are now getting fatter or shapelier but because you are now developing a drug induced condition triggered by the drug you are using called Cushing syndrome that causes the false fatness you are seeing hypertension and amenorrhea menses stops the face goes rounded false curves as if you put on true weight but a sign of disease which is characteristic of this disease; we call it moon facies (the face goes rounded like the moon). Please stop the drug at once (and never use drugs not prescribed by doctors any more, ever) or risk these further side effects burning, itching, dryness, irritation, pimple-like rashes, skin thinning, marks on the skin, boils, increased skin pigmentation and increased hair growth. Also you risk all forms of secondary infection occurring. Think twice.

Drugs to gain weight?
Dear Doctor,
I am a regular reader of your column in The Sun paper (tabloid) and I came across this topic that you treated.
I am a victim of these drugs to gain weight, I used it some years ago and it was introduced to me by a friend who was also skinny as at that time that I was.
My problem now is that I have not been seeing my menses and I don’t know whether it has led to secondary infertility. Doctor please advice me for I am married for three years and no issue, no menses.
Is there any remedy or any drugs I can take to regain my menses and also to get pregnant? My husband is worried though I have told him of my involvement with the said drugs.
Please reply and advice me.
Worried Woman,
Kano.
Dear Worried Woman,
Your type of case is what we really like to help tackle to get results of pregnancy within the shortest possible time --so never give up hope; okay? Yes, the abuse of this drug can be the root cause of your infertility and lost menses.
Be that as it may--go now and see a very good doctor/gynecologist/reproductory endocrinologist-- the Teaching Hospital of the Bayero University or the Specialist Hospital will be your best bet--with your hubby of course and tell the doctor exactly what happened.
It's a great pity you used that drug the way you did. That's the bad news. The good news, of course, is that it has been found that half of the cases of infertility in our African couples are due to usually reversible cases of hormonal imbalance which, very likely, is the cause of your amenorrhea and infertility like we said that drug, when abused can cause.
The reproductory endocrinologist/gynecologist/doctor is what you need who will thoroughly investigate you by examination and laboratory investigations that must be thorough enough to include hormonal assays to detect what damage the abuse of the drugs have done and what is left undamaged. He will need to check your husband properly too.
Please do not sit at home and bemoan your fate but both of you should take the bull by the horns and take charge of your life and health and go together to see the gynecologist; okay? And you do not have to go overseas or come to Lagos or go to Abuja at the National Hospital for this. I'm glad to tell you Kano is big enough to give you the best professionals you need; okay?
Also, do not forget to ask God's help to get the best results.
Let me have feedback on phone or by e mail.
Cheers
Danger in Steroidal Drugs For Weight Gain
Dear Dr. Bibbi Oluranti,
I thank God for the knowledge and wisdom He gave you, and the way you utilize it wisely. I am a regular reader of your column. My problem started when I was desperate to add weight last (2) two years ago.
I went to many dealers (chemists). Finally, I was recommended Dexacortin which I used --two and half bottles-- and it worked. After 8 months, I realized that there are strange pimples, dryness, skin thinning and irritation on my face and body. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed some drugs for me but I still noticed small amount of pimples and skin thinning while I weigh 80kg as of this month. Please doctor, help me for I have no other person to complain to; you are God's gift-- I believe your solution is final--I have the faith.
Thanks
F.J, Owerri; Imo
Dear F J
Like all the above has said it is true that the drug Dexacortin and other steroids can be abused in the manner you did. One of the commonest reasons why people do this is because they believe it will help them gain weight.--and it does!! Sportsmen abuse steroids because they are looking for stamina and increased muscle mass. But this is diseased weight--not normal at all.
The way to get rid of the evil side effects of the drug is to stop early and gradually. Where gradual withdrawal --using less and less amounts per time--is not possible or has not been done, the only thing is to give the body time to adjust and come back to its former balance--may take up to a year or more. Side effects like lowered sperm production in men and reduced size of testis--testicular atrophy-- and can be reversed while baldness and gynecomastia-- development of breast --cannot be reversed in men. In women, side effects include virilisation--making the woman more like a man-- no menses, more developed clitoris deepening voice decreased breast size and so on. Of course, the other side effects you mentioned must not be forgotten-- thinning hair, and so on. Again the more prolonged the use, the greater the likelihood that the results will become irreversible; so let me warn anyone abusing steroids (or any drugs for that matter) again--stop it-- IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
One other lesson we must not forget to teach is --beware self medication; beware chemists, nurses and other paramedics’ (not specifically mentioned in these letters) treatment -- always insist on seeing a doctor.
You can call the help lines and ask for help to resolve lingering side effects
Cheers

Please do not sit at home and bemoan your fate but both of you should take the bull by the horns and take charge of your life and health and go together to see the gynecologist; okay? And you do not have to go overseas or come to Lagos or go to Abuja at the National Hospital for this. I'm glad to tell you Kano is big enough to give you the best professionals you need; okay?
Also, do not forget to ask God's help to get the best results.
Let me have feedback on phone or by e mail.
Cheers
Danger in Steroidal Drugs For Weight Gain
Dear Dr. Bibbi Oluranti,
I thank God for the knowledge and wisdom He gave you, and the way you utilize it wisely. I am a regular reader of your column. My problem started when I was desperate to add weight last (2) two years ago.
I went to many dealers (chemists). Finally, I was recommended Dexacortin which I used --two and half bottles-- and it worked. After 8 months, I realized that there are strange pimples, dryness, skin thinning and irritation on my face and body. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed some drugs for me but I still noticed small amount of pimples and skin thinning while I weigh 80kg as of this month. Please doctor, help me for I have no other person to complain to; you are God's gift-- I believe your solution is final--I have the faith.
Thanks
F.J, Owerri; Imo
Dear F J
Like all the above has said it is true that the drug Dexacortin and other steroids can be abused in the manner you did. One of the commonest reasons why people do this is because they believe it will help them gain weight.--and it does!! Sportsmen abuse steroids because they are looking for stamina and increased muscle mass. But this is diseased weight--not normal at all.
The way to get rid of the evil side effects of the drug is to stop early and gradually. Where gradual withdrawal --using less and less amounts per time--is not possible or has not been done, the only thing is to give the body time to adjust and come back to its former balance--may take up to a year or more. Side effects like lowered sperm production in men and reduced size of testis--testicular atrophy-- and can be reversed while baldness and gynecomastia-- development of breast --cannot be reversed in men. In women, side effects include virilisation--making the woman more like a man-- no menses, more developed clitoris deepening voice decreased breast size and so on. Of course, the other side effects you mentioned must not be forgotten-- thinning hair, and so on. Again the more prolonged the use, the greater the likelihood that the results will become irreversible; so let me warn anyone abusing steroids (or any drugs for that matter) again--stop it-- IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
One other lesson we must not forget to teach is --beware self medication; beware chemists, nurses and other paramedics’ (not specifically mentioned in these letters) treatment -- always insist on seeing a doctor.
You can call the help lines and ask for help to resolve lingering side effects
Cheers

Cure Staphylococcus Permanently
"About to Commit Suicide!!"
Dear Dr,
Could you please convince me you cure Staphylococcus? Any stories about people you cured?
Jana Jebba; Jos
Dear Jana,
I'll tell you three stories. First we'll call "About to Commit Suicide!!"
Around July/August 2003, a very successful but unmarried business man of 32 years of age wanted to commit suicide but decided to just come see me first before he would kill himself. The problem, you would have guessed right, was Staphylococcus. Ten years of torment was enough, he had decided. He had been to different hospitals/doctors and had spent a ton of money on the ailment. I was the seventh doctor he was seeing. Herbal practitioners also had been consulted -all to no avail. He had refused to consider thinking about marriage because of this ailment. He had deliberately neglected and let go of a relationship he really cherished but felt he could not, in all good conscience, continue when he knew he had this ailment that had seemingly defied a cure. He was tired and despairing of life — he had seriously considered suicide. At 32 he had no woman and was, frankly, not interested at all. He had began building his own house in Lagos and it was a beauty to behold, judging by the photos he showed me. I asked him how he thought a house was complete without a woman but he was disinterested in that consideration– all he sought was to get well– and he was afraid he was not going to. Apart from Staphylococcus — or along with it, he also complained that his manhood was too small!!! And that, I believe, was contributory to his refusal to marry or even consider it!!! Like I said, despite the fact that God blessed him greatly, he was ready to give it all up and just kill himself — so terrible and wicked ly persisting were his Staph woes — itching, movement/ funny feelings in the organ, weak erection, discharge from the penis during urination, frequency in urination, waist and back pain and ache etc, etc all beset him terribly. The worst was that after treatment in all the places he had been to for help — after sometimes feeling well, he discovered the evil symptoms would come back!!! He was in tears as he narrated his woes, imploring me seriously to help him if I could. I assured him he was going to get well and encouraged him to get out of his depressive state of mind. We finally started treatment after doing extensive tests on him and spending substantial time interviewing him to get to know what was the source of the problem and what clues we could find to help with his treatment and once-for all cure. Once we began treatment I must say I discovered in him a star patient!!. He came for his injections/shots regularly, kept review and follow-up appointments with the doctor very religiously, always calling to confirm his appointments and paid up promptly and joyfully because he acknowledged the fact that we were giving him very high value for what he was paying. Needless to say, by October ending that year, he had become so well that he had returned to his lost love and by December I met her and I was discussing wedding plans with him!! No more return or recrudescence of the symptoms or complaints — everything gone and gone forever. In fact, exactly about 15 months after we saw him last, he came again to see us. What for? He brought his cousin — a lady — for some other complaints. When I inquired from him about all his former woes, he assured me he never saw anything like those challenges again ever since he had seen me last!!! No wonder he was ready to marry that fast!!! To God’s glory, we cured him –like we will also permanently cure you when you come over to see us.

Strange Sexencounter
Strange Sexcounter
i like the way you adivse people on their problems .may good reward u sir .before 1992,when i was 21years,i used to be sexually active and healthy.this was b/c anytime i,saw a girl that i liked her qualities, i would have the pull -that normal attraction a man has towards the opposite sex which sometimes is sexual.but i would control my self and would talk to her mostly b/c of naivety.i normally had sexual dreams, constant early morning erection and the occasional sexual urge and feeling In 1992, I had a dream where i had a sexual intercourse with a lady after which she told me that she had taken my organ [potency]. since then,I stopped having that normal sexual attraction towards the opposite sex, the early morning erection ,turgid erection and amorous dreams.the normal urge feelings of sex are no more. it is just as if i,m dead sexually. i now find it very hard to have erection. most times,i,work on my imagination to have one and when it comes,it would not be strong and does not last. Sometimes, in a bid to bring back my potency , i would masturbate and after the first release, it will take as long as five days to rise again unlike before it used to rise within five minute after the first and even second release. i had been keeping it to my self and have been praying about it b/c i thought it was spiritual. on the April of this year, i went to ABSUTH and consulted a doc. and after running series of test, the doc. said he did not see anything wrong with me and did not prescribe any medicine for me . please, advise me on what to do to regain my sexual potency, urge and feelings. is there medical or psychological solution to this? If there is none, please, could u direct me to a tested and trusted traditional doc. [spiritual or not] that u know who can treat me and bring back my potency. I am very ripe for marriage. this has been keeping me away from women. I will be very grateful. may God bless u.

Dear Ganiy,
The above proves what I always have insisted -- there are forces beyond the physical that impinge on man's health and well-being which must be recognized and tackled especially in cases that prove to be strange, too difficult, incurable or peculiar. Of course, there is a solution and that is what I do very well almost everyday--in this connection, there is a book I wrote entitled, "Destroying The Strongholds Of Witchcraft" (333 pages)which will help with these cases.Let me assure you that if you follow our prescription, you will get back to normal again, okay? For general help with sex matters, you will get a good outline of what you need to know if you send to betterloverz@yahoo.com or call the helplines
