seems like there are various "cures" for diabetes. but I think that diabetes is kind of a wear and tear disease. if u abuse ur system too much, it starts to wear out. slowly but gradually. |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by Nobody: 2:22am On Dec 16, 2011 |
aloy/emeka: Absolutely not. The cure for diabetes will be a world wide news, not something tucked in an obscure corner of a Nigerian newspaper. |

If true, he had better patent the thing quick quick b/4 these greedy/racist Pharmaceutical Conglomerates lay their hands on the formula. Having said that, Bitter Leaf Soup is delicious and if all you need to manage your diabetes is a hot plate of Bitter Leaf Soup and pounded Yam once a day, surely that can't be a bad thing. |

Benin people are known for their powerful herbal plants . . . if only those precious plants were properly documented to serve the future generations . .Than the trend of taking the knowledge to the grave in the name of family tradition . . .it either dies with them or all is lost |

How do we manage to come up with this kind of things, even with the name university attached to the institution? Don't get me wrong. There might be "some" basis for claiming his portion can do something for those with one or more of these diseases, but to transport that into the realm of high demand in Europe and America should cause anybody to doubt even that potential. aloy/emeka: |

If you reall understand the syndrome called diabetes ' CURE' is an error actually committed by the poster. I believed prof didn't claim that. |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by Nobody: 12:25pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
He didnt get a cure for it. The artcle explained that the drug can ''manage'' and not cure diabetics. Scam!!! Another hungary man who wants to make a fortune from leaves, lol |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by popoyeh(m): 12:42pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the claims, either to manage or to cure.More power to the Prof's elbow. |

Someone described it as irresponsible journalism! vanguard's editors can do better, even prostate is being refered to as prostrate |

Herbal formulations( containing bitter leaf in mixtures with other plant materials) using indigenous knowledge have always proven effective in the management of diabetics. Scientific curiosities only elucidated which of the molecular fractions provided such efficacy using Animal models. To me, the real discovery was done by the rural Professors ( Men and Women) who provide primary health care through the practices of Ethno-botany and Ethno-medicine. |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by UyiIredia(m): 1:01pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
I would be a bit more cautious before believing this. A cure for diabetes would definitely be a major news story. |

The low-self-esteemed "pull them down" syndrome continues among Nigerians. While some are fooling themselves talking shiit here, the US has quickly recognised the man's work. Is it surprising that we are not developed when so many mud munching fools jump up and insult their own?

^^^ so where does it say he cures diabetes & cancer |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by ziga: 1:22pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
No be bad belle. . . . The claim is exceptionally bogus. |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by aribisala0(m): 1:29pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
their is a right and a wrong way to publish such discoveries. the burden of diabetes worldwide is so great that if this were true this guy would be the richest man in the world. why do we love to deceive ourselves. |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by aribisala0(m): 1:31pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
The US HAS NOT recognized any cure for diabetes. We are talking SPECIFICALLY about a cure for diabetes here Save that yarn for the beer parlour |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by Beaf: 1:41pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
aribisala0: Really? I will keep on pitying Nigerians and their "pull them down" syndrome. Perhaps, you do not appreciate the weight of the words, cancer and diabetes. The press will always exagerate, just as the West will always snatch our best minds, because we are too low-self-esteemed to recognise them. |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by nomorename(f): 1:52pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
I don't know which is more depressing, the fact that a newspaper published an unverified story as if it is fact or the fact that some people believe the unverified story. |

Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by aribisala0(m): 3:21pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
Beaf:There is a regulatory body called the FDA that is responsible for licensing new drugs. Their operations are in the public domain. For a drug to be passed for diabetes it must undergo a trial and be published .There is no secrecy about this. Diabetes is such a huge cause of morbidity that a cure is not likely to be a secret and cannot be "pulled down" if it works. If you have problems with self esteem why not get help? not every Nigerian is afflicted so your pity is misplaced. There are hundreds of drugs out there and they are NOT discovered or released on the pages of Newspapers. If he performed a trial he shoul publish it for review by his peers that is the convention. Rather than telling us the drug is "very potent" we would like to know what type of Diabetes and the profile of those treated so far and what their current status is. Have they stopped taking Insulin or oral hypoglcemics. |

I hate that spam bot I had a longer response on here under PhysicsQED but it was whisked away to the spam bin |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by PhysicsMHD(m): 3:31pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
@ aribisala0, I seriously doubt that the prof in question actually claimed specifically that he had a "cure" for these conditions. In fact, I'm pretty sure that he knows that he doesn't, because any biologist who thought they had such a thing would immediately try and get recognition for that so that they could go on to cure people and also go on to get the prestigious prizes that would undoubtedly follow. He knows that he has something which - theoretically - should have some positive effect, and he's trying to get recognition for it, but I think it was only the journalist that went as far as claiming that it was a "cure". |
Re: One Good Achievement As A Nigerian Don Discovers Cure For Diabetes by aribisala0(m): 3:34pm On Dec 16, 2011 |
ziccoit:a cure i.e remission is a theoretical and practical possibility definitely in NIDDM and it is not inconceivable in the future that a cure can be found fot Type 1 as well. Since this is a new discovery it is right to be open-minded. There is promise in genetic modification and stem-cell treatments |

Edolite could be mistaken for Edo Line- the Edo state transport coy. Why not give it a name that at least sound more like a pharmaceutical product? |
