u got it alright baba, we are too lazy to know things within us.
This believe that everything foreign is the ultimate has to stop before we would know our value.
I remember sometime ago, I happens to meet sugar level patience, so I gave them an assignment, the assignment was to squeeze onugbo (bitter leave), put it inside coolant then 1 glass cup every night for 30 days, that they should go and check their sugar level.
Could u believe that it was 25% that did what I asked them to do and it happens that when they checked their sugar level, there was drastical change (I'm not a doctor nor pharmacist, I'm only a physiotherapist)

I'd say the problem with traditional medicine is that it's shrouded in mystery and secrecy.
We as Africans need to demystify it, and create a method of finding which treatments are effective and separate it from the harmful and non-effective ones.

Too long

My contribution on the snake bite, the victim should chew raw cassava. And tie a rope on the affected place, thats all

But they said raw cassava is poisonous

SilvanusII:
You should ask how it works. If we did know how hydrogen cyanide works, we might be able to guess how it does. Maybe it breaks down proteins which I think venoms are like.
It could also be selectively toxic. Remember hematoxic antivenins may not work for neurotoxic venoms. That's why I believe victims are asked to describe the kind of snake that bit them

Hmm. You're right. Thanks
