This is beautiful…real talk since i’ve taken on a healthy/organic diet, and regular exercise…(knock on wood) I haven’t had nothing but one allergy incident in the past two years. I never get sick. No stomache illness, no head colds or flu…NOTHING. Get to your farmers market and start off buy eating organic. And Farmers market is cheap, its just depending on where you are, you gotta find one.

“In Africa, education remains an abstract and unfathomable concept, neither easily nor conveniently appreciated nor applicable – a wasteful endeavor that should never have been embarked upon in the first place. Take for instance, the Pharmacy department of African universities, where students are forced to memorize the chemical components of the drugs already discovered by Europe and America. On the contrary, pharmaceutical companies of Europe and America- with the co-operation of ignorant natives – are claiming to “discover” and patent the many herbs in the rich forests of Africa long used to cure ailments. The drugs so manufactured are sold back to Africans at exorbitant prices, while the student of Pharmacy from Africa graduates, clueless about what to do with his degree.” —
Education in Africa: Whose Education, anyway?
That’s the thing I always wonder when reading statistics about the number of people who die from malaria in African countries. Natural remedies abound but people only want to buy Western manufactured drugs. It is mind-numbing that anti-malarial herbs are literally scattered across the continent but we’re just waiting for Western companiese to “discover” and patent these herbs, and sell them back to us.
