Some weeks ago, I was traveling back and saw a group of people hawking orthodox medicine and I thought I'd seen it all.
The journey started and I put on my headphones and was trying to rest my head, when I heard people clapping and singing. I thought the man was the regular prayer leader who normally led the prayers for safety, admonishes the passengers and asked for offerings or pleaded for their ministries to be supported. The prayers ended and he started talking to the passengers. My headphones were still on, I noticed the lady beside me was bursting out with laughter. I noticed that he was engaging the crowd. He made jokes about virtually everything. He talked about politics, the church, said some very ancient quotes and adages. I knew something was wrong! No one just wakes up and decides to crack things as little as a joke to passengers. He kept on talking and finally talked about health. He talked about different ailments with very little knowledge on the ailments . He said a whole lot of wrong things and said it very boldly. He had so much hatred for the orthodox medicine and for the medical physicians. He then brought out a bag.
He brought out different substances and leaves and claimed to have cures for every form of disease. He also claimed to know how to treat all forms of ulcer and sexually transmitted diseases. I will be highlighting why most herbal medicines are not to be trusted.

They are not regulated.

These drugs are not regulated by the necessary regulatory bodies such as NAFDAC and as such are not reliable. In some cases they do have a registration number but the body warns that the claims of the drugs have not been verified.

They are toxic

The seller had something like methanol and claimed that it could cure tooth pains and decay. It was to be applied with a cotton wool. The said substance could clean an ink on a glass very neatly. These chemicals go straight to the liver and are toxic hence causing lots of harm to the people taking the medication. Also note that the sellers do not talk about the side effects or the drugs interactions with what we eat or drink.

While we are always seeking for solutions to our various problems, we have to be careful. Stat hydrated, see your physician today!

Who for sell Postinor 2 on Credit for me?

Thank God for hawkers ooh...

Nigerians put their lives at risk in a lot of ways. One of the many ways is taking non-prescription drugs.

On a hot day , I took a bus. Whilst waiting for the passengers to come on board, I saw some men hawking some drugs and then I saw people buying drugs from them. They asked "Aboki you get TM? " He nodded and looked round, dipped his hand in his box and handed it to them. It was really sad to see that drugs which were supposed to be controlled, where flooding the streets . In this article, I will be highlighting the downsides of buying drugs from street hawkers. The reasons are enumerated below.

Improper storage of drugs.

Most people buy drugs without knowing much about them. Buying a drug from a reputable pharmacy however, protects you from buying drugs that may have not been properly stored . Some drugs require room temperature , whilst some need to be refrigerated . The street drug hawker has little or no knowledge on the storage of drugs and may eventually sell you a bad drug due to bad storage of the drug.

They may be fake

Most drugs sold on the streets or drugs being hawked, are not regulated and this causes a lot of worries as we do not know how they source for their drugs. Most hawkers get expired drugs, repackage it and sell to the public at ridiculously cheap prices. That drug on the road is most likely fake .

They lack proper dispensing knowledge
Most drug hawkers have no knowledge on drugs and have no idea as to how it reacts to the body. They give drugs without knowing the prior medical condition of the person they are selling to. They lack knowledge on the side effects of the drugs. They can cause a lot of problems to you. For example, drugs with sodium are not good for hypertensive patients , most analgesic are acidic and triggers ulcer . Some people react differently to drugs that contain sulphur.
Drugs are poisons and must be used with caution. Always seek professional advice and always buy your drugs from reputable pharmaceutical companies. Always check out for the expiry date , Nafdac number and confirm with the pin if you're in doubt . Stay safe!

The eye is an essential part of the human body. Sight is life they say as it enables us see and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. The eye has a lot of protective functions which enhances improved vision.
The introduction of technology has created more task for the human eye and also an increased protective function against the ultra violet rays amongst others with great appreciation to the ever working presence of the cornea and lenses which are of great importance and vital structures of the eye that enhances vision.
These two structures prevent the passage of a great amount of ultra-violet radiation allowing the very little amount to get in thereby, affecting the photo receptor cells in the eye. The ultra-violet radiations unabsorbed by the cornea and the lens are composed of blue light (blue –uv) which results in CVS or VITS.
Computer vision syndrome or virtually induced terminal syndrome is a condition that results from focusing their eye on any media that emits blue ultra-violet radiation.
"Blue ultra violet radiation is scientifically any radiation between 350-500nm"

Sources of blue light
• sunlight
• computer screens
• Television screen
• Smartphone screens
• fluorescent light
Symptoms of CVS
fatigue
dizziness
eye strain even when we'll rested
Headaches
Myopia
Long term effects of CVS
o permanent Blindness

Prevention of CVS
CVS can be a serious issue. Listed below, are precautions that can be taken to avoid CVS
* Use of anti reflective lenses- they absorb all unnecessary ultra violet radiation thereby reducing the risk of visual disturbance

* Practicing the 20-20 rule - This is for those who use phones and laptops for a long period of time on a daily basis like the bankers and the ever enthusiastic youth who are always on their phones. The rule entails looking away at an object of distance for 20seconds or more every 20minutes. This practice is important to avoid adaptation to nearness.
* Use of sunglasses - Anti reflective lenses are best suited to prevent CVS but for the sake of fashion as it affects the modern man, sunglasses can be used for outdoor activities

Dogs are domestic animals which have been known to be friends of man for a very long time. Some use it as pets while others use it for security purposes.
Dogs like any other wolf can be very aggressive and inflict serious injuries to people around

DOG BITES AND RABIES
When a dog bites, it is advisable to know meet the dog owner and ask about the dog and inquire its health status. If the dog owner owner does not vaccinate the dog or if it is a stray dog, you may need to quarantine the dog and place it under observation. The rabies infected may die within 10 days.
The quarantine is set at 10 days because a rabies-infected animal can only transmit the disease after clinical signs have developed and once these signs have developed, the animal will die within 10 days. If the animal lives beyond the 10th day, it can be said with certainty that it was not shedding the rabies virus at the time that the bite occurred. If the animal dies before the 10th day, it can be tested for rabies. If the test is positive, a human bite victim will still have enough time to receive post-exposure vaccinations and prevent the disease. It doesn't really matter if the rabid dog bites someone or not. The rabies virus will ultimately paralyse the respiratory system and asphyxiate the dog to death in a few days (10–30 days in most cases) after the animals starts showing rabid symptoms. Hence the assumption that rabid dogs die only after biting someone is false and that it is the normal course of the disease which results in the death of the rabid animal.

While it is good to have a dog, it is also important to vaccinate it regularly and also avoid stray dogs as they have no training and are mostly very aggressive

Africans are known to eat late and this is because they spend most of the day trying to make a living. We return late Friday work and eat late. We are talking about the importance of eating early.

Reduce Gastric Ulcer
Gastric ulcer is associated with heartburn. In the evening, people always tend to eat high calorie food with no little nutritional value. One way to avoid heartburn is to avoid large and fatty meals, late at night. Eating early enables the food to digest quickly and properly. This reduces the risk of acidic stomach contents going back to the oesophagus. This is known as 'acidic reflux ' . It often accompanies heartburn. Lying down after eating causes heartburn. Leave a little time between dinner and bedtime. This helps a whole lot.
Better Sleep
Heartburn is caused by eating near bedtime. This causes abdominal discomfort. Eating early ensures digestion and a good sleep.
While eating early is important, the importance of eating a balanced diet cannot be overemphasized.

Today, millions of women take the emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) without the proper knowledge of it. In this article, facts about the ECPs will be stated
The ECPs are tablets taken which can prevent pregnancy when taken up to 120hours after unprotected sexual intercourse . Examples of ECPs are postpill, postinor2. An ECP should be taken as soon as possible after sex. The sooner they are taken after sexual exposure, the more the chances of preventing unwanted pregnancy.
Some facts about the ECPs are stated thus:
ECPs are taken for emergencies and not for frequent usage. It is advisable not to take an ECP more than twice monthly.
ECPs are available in health facilities and pharmacies
There is a risk of ECP failure when used as a contraceptive repeatedly. Contact your physician to give you more information on contraceptives and make your choice.
ECPs do not stop or prevent sexually transmitted infections
Taking ECPs prevents pregnancy only from sexual exposure that occurred a few days before
They would not protect you if you take it before the sexual exposure . Kindly refer to your physician to let you know your options.
ECPs can cause
1) Headaches

4) Changes in menstrual cycle pattern
These symptoms are completely normal. Do not panic !

The world can be very intimidating as everything about the life of others can sometimes make us think less of ourselves.

Almost everyone has something that they are ashamed of. It ranges from their background, their weight, disability, wealth, intelligence, their skin and even down to the way they speak. With the advent of social media, it has reached the top echelon as people are on a daily basis being intimidated because of what they see. The lives of people are being portrayed to be perfect as the people post pictures in luxurious places with all the good things of life and this makes people go into depression.

When people are depressed it becomes very worrisome as they feel very useless and waste useful energy thinking. Some people go into the use of drugs to ease their pain. The truth that people do not know, is that behind the perfect lives they see, there are imperfections that they struggle with everyday.

Depression is real and has eaten deep into the lives of people. I had a sickler who was always depressed and I showed her another who was living her best life. Despite our imperfections, we can always make the best out of everything. Do not be deceived by what you see on the gram! They are fake. Use every useful time and energy to build and develop you. Do not make unnecessary comparisons as we all have different lives. A wise man once told me "follow your lane, Na only your motor go know " .
