A professor of Ophthalmology at the Lagos State Teaching hospital, LUTH, Prof Adebukola Adefule Oshitelu, has laid claims that ‘Genus Corchorus’ popularly known as Ewedu in Nigeria is capable of curing the Ebola Virus Disease.

She said this at the 2014 African Traditional Medicine organised by NAFDAC yesterday at Ikeja, Lagos state. The programme which was arranged for Traditional Medicine Practitioners and Conventional Medicine Practitioners was in
response for an urgent need of cooperation between the two health bodies in order to enhance better and reliable healthcare delivery system.

According to Oshitelu, Ewedu cures Ebola by improving an infected person’s immune system, likewise providing prevention against the deadly virus for uninfected persons.

“The qualities inside Ewedu is so much that it will kill Ebola by preventing the virus from replicating and destroying more organs in the body. This would immediately stop the symptoms such as high fever, stooling and vomiting. Ultimately, leading to the cure,” Oshitelu said.

She further advised people to consume Ewedu on a regular basis but with strict adherence to its preparation and usage.

“The way it will be prepared will be different from the normal way they cook it. It should be washed and rinsed with liquid vinegar, afterwards blend and cook with drinkable water. No salt, potash or seasoning should be added, take 25cl of the concoction a week and it would boost a person’s immunity so that they become impregnable to the virus.” Oshitelu said.


However, In a statement made by the Director General of NAFDAC, Paul Orhii who was represented by the Director of Laboratory Service, Stella Denloye, NAFDAC said it has banned illegal advertisement of herbal products and bogus claims of cure for diseases.

“Unpatriotic Nigerians who continue to engage in illegal advert of their products and those making false claims not evaluated by NAFDAC should desist from acts misleading the unsuspecting public. I want to warn and inform them that NAFDAC would deal decisively with anyone found to contravene,” Orhii said.

He noted that there was the need to institutionalise traditional medicine in the health systems worldwide including Nigeria.

He said the stigmatising of the traditional health care by modern/conventional medicine needed to stop. So much that in some countries, it is even illegal to practice it.

“Regulation is the key to ensuring that only good quality, safe and effective traditional/herbal medicines are available to consumers especially if traditional medicine and complementary medicine is to be integrated into the nation’s healthcare system,” Orhii said.

He shined himself in salt till he resembled biblical Lot's wife.

PLEASE NIGERIANS DONT BE DISTRACTED OR MISLED INTO BELIEVING RUBBISH ANY MORE.
ANY SENSIBLE NIGERIAN WHO KNOWS THE EFFECTIVE CURE FOR EBOLA, KNOWS THE RIGHT CHANNEL TO GO ABOUT ESTABLISHING HIS OR HER CLAIMS. THE NIGERIAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH SHOULD ARREST THESE RRUMMOUR MONGERS AND LET THEM BAIL THEMSELVES OUT AFTER PROVIDING THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR CLAIMS. REMEMBER THE KOLANUT, AND THE TABLE SALT CLAIMS? THIS DOCTOR MAY HAVE AN EWEDU FARM, HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE QUICK SALES AND QUICK CASH, I CAN ASSURE YOU.

Collynzo16: Oily soup?

Smd

Ewedu sellers will soon experience their own boom time, not to be outdone by salt and Nano silver sellers.
I see a lot of people who had disparaged ewedu abandoning ofe nsala for ofe ewedu.

stevecantrell:

yes ooo.... i skipped kola, dnt kno how i fell for salt. this one, i no de do

This doesn't seem authentic
hope he's not trying to mislead people again

Naija professors sha. I doubt she has ever seen an ebola patient

Now this sounds more reasonable than salt.

Ewedu is basically a vegetable and they are known to boost ones immune system.

But I don't want to believe some posters above me don't know that............They can't be that void of knowledge, can they??

The prof is making mockery of the so called Ebola.

Even though this may not have been proven, I won't completely rule out the efficacy of ewedu. Ewedu, yam and other delicacies eaten by the Yoruba have been scientifically proven to be responsible for Yoruba having the highest number of twins in the world.

Chisssosssss!!!!!
the rumors killing more than the disease
ignorance sha

Could it be the reason why that Yoruba man who brought Ebolo to PH is still alive?
Ofe mmanu dikwa egwu

Had to be a Yoruba soup

You have a solid point right there. Imagine how much money you could make by selling ewedu and gaskets in the same shop.

Ugwu soup and pounded yam is also a cure for Ebola virus.
