[quote author=dalitigator post=139652007][/quote]Which herbs are you talking about

Rutherford2019:
You need no fasting blood sugar for diabetes diagnosis.

Where is your source?
Whats your diagnostic criteria for T2DM?

dalitigator:
All these problems will disappear if you walk about 10km weekly and fast 18 hrs a day in a week and 48hrs straight aleast once a month with bitter leaf or celery juice.

That's all.

Out fathers in the village didn't do all the needless medical test or whatever. Sometimes, these test are even the problem. They make you panic, put you on unnecessary pharmaceutical medications that might caused unexpected complications.

Also, we tend to copy unnecessary Western life styles these days. Too many fast food, Air conditioned bed room, office and cars. Many don't even breath natural airs, but practically live their lives in a refrigerator.

They call it enjoyment. When was the last time you spent time alone, by your self or went into nature. Or cooked yourself in native roots and herbs like our fathers before us?

Those men did hard labour till 80s and could still stand and marry wives and have kids. But you dey city dey do fine man and dey pour chemicals for body thinking it's enjoyment.

Na enjoyment until the result shows up after a few years.

Sleep, drinks roots and herbs, eat farmented foods and drink natural alcohols and have as much sex as possible. Nothing go do you.

Abi I lie I dey talk? Nor answer until you visit the local villages around the Niger delta areas.

Shalom.

Hope you know those herbs can actually hasten ones demise.
If someone has an inherent liver or kidney disease, he could slowly be killing his organs with herbs

Rutherford2019:
Both you and op are wrong
You don't need fasting blood sugar to know that Chike is diabetic, even though he seems okay
Disease can be diagnosed immediately with single laboratory result.
I told my brother that average Nigerian goes to hospital when he's 70% dead.

Yes you need a fasting blood sugar AND a HbA1C to diagnose a Type 2 diabetes mellitus in an non symptomatic patient
Learn something today,sir

His god said he created evil
His God is loudmouthed.

His god boasted he created evil live and direct,yet his followers insist he didn't. Na wao

LordTosinJ:
There is a growing trend to dismiss the reality of hell, Many people today say that hell is not real. They claim that the Bible does not even speak about it. But hell is a real place. The exact words in the Bible show this clearly. Let us look at what the Bible says.
The Testimony of Jesus in the Gospels

Some try to dismiss the book of Revelation as purely symbolic, but Jesus Himself spoke repeatedly and warningly about a literal fire.

• Matthew 5:22 (ESV):
"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire."

• Matthew 10:28 (ESV):
"And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."

• Luke 12:5 (ESV):
"But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!"

Why would Christ command us to fear the One who can send us to hell if it isn't a real place? What is there to fear if it is just a metaphor? Jesus wasn't playing semantic games; He was issuing a severe warning.

Furthermore, He explicitly describes the nature of this punishment as eternal and physical:

• Matthew 25:41 (ESV):
"Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’"

• Mark 9:43, 47-48 (ESV):
"And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire... It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’"

"Unquenchable fire" and a "worm that does not die" point directly to an unending, forever punishment.



The Final Judgment in Revelation

When we couple the words of Jesus with the vision given to John in Revelation, the picture becomes undeniable. The final destination for the wicked is explicitly named the "Lake of Fire."

• Revelation 20:10 (ESV):
"...and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."

• Revelation 20:14 (ESV):
"Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire."

• Revelation 20:15 (ESV):
"And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."



Conclusion: Let's Stop the Shenanigans

The Bible uses words like "hell of fire" and "eternal fire." It also says "unquenchable fire" and "the lake of fire." So, how can anyone say that hell is not real?

If a person says there is no hell, they do not believe Jesus Christ. They also do not believe the words of the New Testament prophets.

Backing up a bible concept with....the bible? Awesome lol 😆
Imagine a Muslim telling you a Christian that Mohammed actually split the moon cos it was stated by the Koran. I guess you'll believe him lol 😆 😂 🤣

MightySparrow:
There are people that claim they have visited either or both heaven and hell. As a researcher who loves to know, it would be better to have a first hand experience by joining this people and come back with your findings.

Good luck in your expedition. Or simply take the scriptures raw as you read. Better still live a life worthy of the 'kingdom com '. Believe in the the grace of Jesus to be qualified.
I think that is more important.

What if Allah,Zeus or Brahma was the real god,dont you think you'll be doomed

RealityKings1:
Which was created first? Religious texts or the society?
those scriptures were written based on what was happening in the society during that time frame; So it could be argued God didn't create evil but he most definitely allows it. He wants to be entertained.

That's the part where your conscience will be the map to guide you

I am showing you what is written in your bible and you're still doubting it. These Christians are wonderfully made true true lol 😆

SIRTee15:
Critics of Christianity- other theists, atheists and agnostics, often reject attempts to harmonize apparent differences within the biblical texts. However, this rejection is frequently not based on a demonstrated lack of internal consistency but on a prior commitment to skepticism. From that perspective, narrative variations are assumed to be contradictions rather than complementary accounts that may be reconciled through careful analysis.

In historical research, scholars commonly employ the principle of charity: an ancient source is not presumed to be in error unless compelling evidence demonstrates otherwise. Historians regularly apply this approach to non-religious ancient writers such as Herodotus and Plutarch, recognizing that differing eyewitness perspectives naturally produce variations in detail without invalidating the core historical event. Yet many critics appear unwilling to extend the same interpretive generosity to the Gospel writers, treating even minor variations as evidence against reliability.

This raises an important question: If differing accounts from secular historians are routinely examined with the goal of understanding how they fit together, why should the Gospel accounts be treated differently? Why deny the same academic charity to the biblical authors that is afforded to other ancient sources?

Another common criticism portrays the earliest Christians as uneducated "sheep herders" operating within a primitive, pre-scientific culture. This characterization is historically inaccurate. The early Christian movement included professionals, tax officials, merchants, and individuals immersed in a highly literate theological tradition. By establishing that the cosmos was designed by one rational Mind rather than chaotic, unpredictable gods, their worldview laid the foundational framework for modern science: that nature follows stable, mathematically consistent laws.

This is exactly why standard historical charity is applied here. We are dealing with an intellectually rigorous community that left behind highly consistent historical data. If you look at the facts accepted by almost all critical historians, you have to account for: 1) Jesus's certain death by crucifixion, 2) the empty tomb, 3) the sudden, overnight transformation of the disciples into martyrs, and 4) the radical conversion of hostile enemies like Paul. People don't willingly get tortured and executed for a hoax they know they made up themselves. The resurrection remains the only viable historical explanation

Supporters of the resurrection argue that the disciples' willingness to endure persecution and death is difficult to reconcile with the claim that they knowingly fabricated their testimony. While people may suffer or die for beliefs that are mistaken, they rarely choose such suffering for what they know to be a deliberate hoax. For this reason, many Christians maintain that the resurrection remains the most compelling explanation of the available historical evidence.

The significance of this question extends beyond academic debate. If the resurrection occurred, then Christianity's central claims about salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life rest upon a historical foundation rather than mere philosophical speculation. In that case, righteousness is not something earned through human effort but a gift received through faith in Christ. For believers, history is therefore not separate from hope; it is the very ground upon which that hope stands.

Wrong on all counts
The reason historians dont apply the same factors to bible history is cos bible is made up of supernatural events and non biblical history isnt. Example, bible said whale swallowed man and man lived for 3 days,sun and moon stood still,mass resurrection etc. These are supernatural events and it need an extra level of evidence or corroboration to be credible. For example,if I tell you i walked to work from my house,you could believe me cos its natural. Now if I tell you i flew with wings to work,you'll want more evidence to believe
Secondly,many of Jesus's followers were illiterate. Though I cannot back up this claim but writing as we know it wasnt a thing back when the bible was supposedly written. Also the 4 cannonical gospels were written well after Jesus died and wasnt written by Matthew, Mark,Luke and John as supposedly stated.
Finally,people dying for a cause doesn't mean nothing. Muslim terrorists are even bolder than Christians to blow themselves up, and die in more violent ways,cos they are convinced Allah would compensate them. Monks are ready to die of starvation for their spiritual conviction. Same with Jesus disciples that were killed.
All these people are convicted despite not having a shred of evidence

RealityKings1:
The idea of good and evil doesn't come from God but a form of Social Order developed over centuries. Social order is how institutions, groups, and cultural values work together to keep a society stable and prevent chaos. It refers to the rules and shared norms that help people live and work together in harmony.

So if a man would still be good if there is no God is majorly dependent on the society he lives in. After all, it's a world where good and evil coexist and God is not bothered.

Your society is a reflection of the kind of predominant behavioral patterns. When a child is born and brought up, it will be almost impossible for him to be a nonconformist to what is observable around him.
He's a blank book and the society starts to write on him unless his thought process breaks free from that chain.

Isaiah 45:7


7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

So Yhwh is an originator of evil too

Dpharmacist:
Yes there are usually reasons why a doctor might prescribed a particular medication even if it looks odd but still appropriate for the condition. Doctors are really trying and carry a heavy burden in diagnoses. Effective collaboration is what is actually missing in our hospital settings. All this will reduce if there is effective communication.

Hope you know sometimes it's difficult to get to the doctor and there are cases where there was actually an error from the doctor, probably because the doctor was overstressed (we are not machines) . When the pharmacist detected it, all efforts to get to the doctor proved abortive. His phone is switched off and his whereabouts not know by the nurses, so it was documented in the folder that changes were made.

In this scenario, there may be some expected alterations but it depends on the scenario.
For example,if I prescribe normal saline for a hypertensive who had stroked and the pharmacist feels it may worsen the hypertension, the best thing is go with the ISQ meds and await the physician to return and explain. But if its a non emergency med,say PO PCM and its prescribed QDS,the pharmacist can dispense and later ask why QDS and not TDS
Hope you get,Rx?

LabStores:
Yes
This is very correct.

Laboratory result is only one part of the full health picture. An abnormal test value does not automatically mean a person is sick. Factors such as stress, diet, exercise, medications, dehydration, timing of the test, or even normal biological variation can affect results.
Laboratory findings should always be interpreted together with symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and sometimes repeat testing.
That is why doctors do not treat numbers alone, they treat patients. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional for proper interpretation of any lab result.

True. Each scenario should be analyzed differently

S21

Rutherford2019:
OP you are wrong
Laboratory results always show you're sick even when you're not showing any symptoms.
Every adult from 50yrs and above should be doing lab work up every 6months
Take for instance, Chike is 55yrs and engages in regular workout and one day he undergoes a lab work up which shows his hemoglobin is 9, HbA1C, triglycerides 250, LDL 150 and HDL 40. and all vital signs are normal.
Chike appears normal with no signs or symptoms of any disease.
Is Chike sick or not?
One day Chike was walking around his compound and fainted and he was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Hes not wrong and you're not wrong. Lemme explain
His explanation is correct.
About your example,if Chike presents to me symptomless with above results,I'll check his vitals. If blood pressure is high and he's obese, then he has metabolic syndrome, irrespective of his symptomless state. I'll send for further tests, to check for Fasting Blood Glucose. If that is high,he had type 2 diabetes and would be on oral hypoglycemics, EVEN IF HE'S SYMPTOMLESS. I'll also send for kidney function tests especially Creatinine,eGFR and ACR. If there's a derangement,I might add a GLP2 like empaglifozin. Etc etc
So TLDR each scenario is different and taken on its own merit

cutecommend:
Today is a another day for you.

What do I gain by giving my life

Love800:
You shocked and confuse me with this ur comment.

Anyway, i dont want you to answer me back. I will go research about it.

Have a nice day ahead, and i really appreciate.

Thank you. We learn everyday, myself included

Dpharmacist:
I get your point

But What do you mean by busy body, that's arrogant and condescending.

Sorry for the terms used. But I hope you get my point. Because its annoying as a doctor, you prescribe some meds, you go home expecting for the patient to commence meds,only to return and they tell you that the meds have not been dispensed by the pharmacist,who didn't bother to check up on your thoughts

Okwyjesus:
They obviously regulate doctors and create balance in their approach to medication.

Very key to healthcare success

This one say pharmacist dey regulate doctor. Ooo chim
Nothing i no go see for Nairaland

Efuaye:
This is how it is supposed to be in a sane country. Many doctors are overworked mainly because of brain drain or “Japa” syndrome. The few elderly doctors who work as consultants are rarely available to guide the student doctors who litter our public health centers, using Google search to diagnose and prescribe medication.

This one jus dey cap. Lemme help you out. If your doctor uses Google, thank him properly. I dont think you'll understand why,so let me leave you

starpower:
My sister is a pharmacist have witnessed countless times she avert disaster due to misdiagnosis or overdose. Nigerian system overwhelm medical staff too often reason once given prescription drugs I patronise where I will see a pharmacist on sit and experienced one is better.

Pharmacists also do mistakes too. You make it seem as if the mistakes is the domain of the doctor alone

Dpharmacist:
PHARMACISTS ARE QUIETLY PREVENTING MEDICAL DISASTERS EVERY SINGLE DAY

I know pharmacists do a lot but i have an advice for you guys: always run your advice by the doctor before changing his prescriptions. If a you don't understand a particular regimen,ask the doctor. Yes, you are good with pharmacology and drug-drug interactions but some regimens are there cos the doctor knows more about the pathology of the disease more than you.
For example, a doc prescribes normal saline for a hypertensive who has stroked. Don't go and do busy body and cancel the prescriptions. Learn from the doctor. Thank you

aybabz101:
Yes he did...and baba never protested against Jonathan....stop the lies

The internet never forgets,especially for liars like you

Originalsly:
Some things just cannot be explained ... and the West will never say they do not know... they always have an explanation. There are things they do figure out and explain . The ones they just can't... they attribute to aliens. The ones Blacks can't... they attribute to the spiritual. This may very well be.

My question to the explanation.... if it is that one becomes conscious during sleep paralysis... but the dream continues to play out " literally "... why is it never a pleasant dream?... like never making out with the woman of your dreams? ...why is it almost always someone who been dead...or wanting to harm you when the person was not even in your dream? I experienced it twice ... within a few days. Both occasions it was the same person... an ex gf who had recently been buried and I did not go to the funeral. I found out she was into "spiritual stuff"... dropped her immediately... tried to get to me spiritually via food offering....did not eat..but said I did... and she kept sending to find out if I had eaten what she sent. Died mysteriously like two weeks later. I stayed clear. Then suddenly ...out of the blue ...." sleep paralysis" ...guess featuring who?

Your subconscious thoughts are on her. You fear her that why she features in any nightmare or sleep paralysis
Yall should think for once

Boomyvig:
How do you explain this happening to someone consecutively for 3 weeks, every day, and it happens at the same time of the night ,12 AM. Whenever it happened, I would see my room door under a lock, yet someone like a ghost would enter often in the image of a known person, and the torment would start, sometimes from that moment till morning around 5 AM. Until one night which was going to be the last time I had the experience, I cried profusely because It felt like I was going to die that night cos I was tired. I confessed my sins, and read John 3:16 , and that was the last time I experienced this situation, till date. It is almost 20 something years ago now since I last experienced it. This was my personal experience.

So since then have you sinned again?

SyrusdeHansome:
Don't worry, when you have the experience first hand you'll know there's nothing like sleep paralysis. Science think everything can be explained on the basis of observation and theory. I've seen someone confess of how he was fun of pressing pple in their sleep and as someone that use to have the experience almost every night nobody can ever tell me I was experiencing sleep paralysis.

So if someone tells you he can transform into a dragon,you'll believe him? Wonderful

adaxme:
We are actually spiritual beings
So its spiritua.

This one still dey argue say na spiritual. Some people simply cannot be educated

EmekaBlue:
I said heal itself on many diseases even liver and kidney... I didn't say everything but someway somehow miracles still dey or u don't believe in that also?! Body really heals itself with good lifestyle living

There is a limit to what the body does in healing itself. Even the liver disease doesn't always heal itself. Before a liver disease manifests,the liver cells must have been damaged up to 70% or so and by that time,most of the damage is irreversible
Also these 'miracles' you see on TV are scripted. Dont dull yourself

Northernblood8:
Jesus. Can they afford such

Ask the Nigerian economy

prinsam30:
That's malaria signs for me, and I don't joke with it cos I know what am saying

There is no custom made symptoms for anyone. I hate when patients tell me 'oh doc,this catarrh,cough,poor sleep etc is my own symptoms of malaria'. Plasmodium spp doesn't give difference folks different symptoms. I tell those patients 'if you Google symptoms of malaria,you wont see Prinsam30 symptoms are this and this but symptoms for the rest of humanity are this and this'
One more things, what you experience is called symptoms. Signs are what we doctors elicit on examining your body. So dont mix it up

Lovelydaisies:
You may be right. But what about the weakness, the bodily aches and chills? I took loratadine this morning.

Those symptoms are still symptoms of the flu. Loratidine is fine,its a replacement for chlorpheniramine(piriton) though its less active in managing nasal congestion but less sedative

Love800:
You said alot of tins but i still can't relate when actually you described what fever really is.

OP said fever is when the body is having headache, high temperature, weakness, fatigue, joint pains, dizziness, etc... and you are saying he is wrong.
How please?

Fever simply means high body temperature. If you have weakness,its not fever. If you have dizziness,its not fever. I hope this helps

Dalohad:
But why is he bearing an adopted Christian name- Mathias.

I expect a staunch traditionalist like him to answer names like Nwaamadioha Ezeaku or Makuoalusi Ezeaku.

He should change his name cos his religion changed?
Sense far from you

AWONEYAN:
An atheist will be worse than the current religious but corrupt set of politicians.
This one will neither fear God nor man.
If you give him power. He will be another Adolf Hitler.

Let him go and learn hard hand work to feed his family since he hates God

Adolf Hitler was a Christian. Let that sink in
