Nothing cures viruses but STEAM INHALATION has been the natural home therapy for managing sinusitis, flus & colds.

My grandma did it for us during cold seasons using mint, eucalyptus and thyme but when Magufuli does it, we call him primitive.

“ If applied early in at-risk individuals in whatever healthcare settings, especially in LMICs with limited access to hospitals, it might help”
Modern education has brainwashed us to discard all the natural and Palaeolithic approaches to healthcare.

and I see this all the time. If I tell a patient that I won’t prescribe any drug for them but instead advise them to drop sugar, fast, exercise and walk in the sun,...
he will criticize me and report me to my bosses for being incompetent.

Others demand to be injected strong antibiotics or prescribed expensive 3rd generation antibiotics,

Yet, what afflicts them could be treated by better diet, water, exercise, walking in the sun and sleep
Fact is,

The extrapolation of research studies carried in mice or in Europe may not be the effective solution for African problems.

We have enough sunshine, our air is not heavily polluted, our soils still contain adequate micronutrients, our meat and eggs are still grass-fed.
Some studies are quick to dismiss steam inhalation therapy yet even books of pulmonology recommend this therapy.

Yet, our forefathers relied on mint and thyme herbal inhalation to easen respiratory phlegm.

Simply because Africans are deemed primitive and backward.
It is my unconsidered opinion, I wish that instead of bashing Tanzania which has proven the masses wrong,

Researchers should camp there and seek to understand the pandemic from a Palaeolithic perspective not a profiteering lense.

What is this that might be right in Tanzania?
After all, archaeologists have said Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania is the world’s paleoanthropological epicentre.

- and summed it up by concluding that East Africa is the cradle of mankind.

Ends.

Basic Mathematics of Blood Pressure.

Blood Pressure = CO x PR

CO = Cardiac Output.
PR = Peripheral Resistance.

CO = HR x SV

HR = Heart Rate.
SV = Stroke Volume.

Definition next thread.

#BetterTogether
Cardiac Output (CO) is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart in a minute.

Peripheral Resistance (PR) is resistance of arteries to blood flow pumped from the heart.

If arteries constrict, there is higher resistance. If they relax, there is reduced resistance.

CO = SV x HR

Stroke Volume (SV) is the amount of blood pumped from the heart in a beat.

Heart Rate (HR) is the number of heartbeats per minute.

Pavlov Classical Conditioning:

You have conditioned yourself that you MUST eat at breakfast, lunch & supper.

Once clock hits those times, your stomach releases gastric acid in anticipation of food.

Guys with ulcers suffer this.

IF & OMAD will reverse this conditioning.
Just the mere thought, taste or smell of food stimulates the output of gastrin hormone which leads to the production of gastric acid.

Your stomach had therefore been conditioned to produce the acid at breakfast, lunch and supper or anytime you see or smell food.
If you embrace IF and OMAD,

Your stomach will get used to the strict hours - feeding window.

The stomach won't carelessly release the acid.

People nowadays serve the stomach.

However, train your stomach to serve you.

About Othuol.

I'll be BLUNT:

Same guys attacking artists for 'abandoning' Othuol, are the same guys who abandon their parents and siblings.

Artists brought Othuol to us, nurtured him, paid his bills and will give him a beffiting send off.

Othuol messed himself up.
Othuol was diagnosed with Pulmonary TB.

He failed to adhere to treatment and got a relapse. - An extra-pulmonary TB.

He then slid into alcoholism, - and we all know that alcohol and TB drugs is a lethal combination.

Then organ failure.

All this time, artists paid his bills.
Othuol was in denial.

He refused to accept that you can be a celebrity and be broke.

- You can be a celebrity but still get a chronic illness like TB.

Nothing wrong here. We are human beings not immortals.

He refused to accept his demons.- They devoured him to death.

Advisory: GRAPHIC CONTENT.

After having a series of gut symptoms:

+Gastric juice regurgitation,

+ Bloating,

+ Farting,

Simon (not his name) went to visit a Doctor in a public hospital.

Diagnosis made was Gastritis.

He was given Antiacids & antiulcer drugs.

#MenMonday
He swallowed the drugs religiously but after 1 month, the symptoms escalated.

+ Gastric juice regurgitation.

+ Bloating.

+ Farting.

But now, difficulty in passing stool become another concern.

So, he decided to go to a popular private hospital in Eldoret, Kenya.

#MenMonday
In that first class private hospital, he met a surgeon who listened to his story.

An examination of his anal area was done and a quick diagnosis of ANAL FISSURE was made.

Simon wondered why he had to go to the theatre so abruptly yet he was just fine.
