Any disease is a challenge if there is no cure for it. Diseases that once were a menace to the world such as Small Pox, Yaws and plagues are not heard of today. Solutions were found to neutralize them. But that doesn’t mean that we no longer have diseases menacing the world. One such a menace is the African Swine Fever that recently wiped out a large population of pigs in China. And now the Corona virus that has put the whole world on edge. But there is something interesting about how the word operates. The pig population in china was not nearly wiped out because there was no medicine to cure the disease. This unfortunate incident happened because there is no oneness in the world today. People often refer the world today as ‘the global village’ but that may not in some respect be true. Medicine Africana Consortium of Uganda has had for many years a herbal viral medicine that has successfully treated many pigs effected by the African Swine fever. The medicine does not only treat the dis...
When Africa is in distress, the world promptly responds positively and assistance pour in. we are very grateful for this global spirit. In the same spirit, when calamity strikes other parts of the world, we in Africa feel the pain and the need to reciprocate by contributing physically what we can. But the unfortunate thing is that our good and well meaning gestures are not always welcomed or taken seriously.

We of the Medicine Africana Consortium responded by informing the Chinese that we have an herbal anti swine fever virus effective treatment and vaccine. There was not enthusiastic response and the world needlessly los...
There is this sad but almost comical situation that happens in the villages all the time. Am sure you have witnessed it too. It’s time to go the garden. A farmer picks his axe, promptly balances it on his shoulders. Because this simple action has been repeated so many times before, the action is now thoughtless. He forgets about the axe almost immediately. He goes on to pick the panga , some other tools and feels he is almost ready to go to the garden. He ‘remembers’ he hasn’t picked just one more tool. The axe. He might consume a good 15 or 20 minutes looking for the axe. Then finally the wife might ask him. ‘What are you looking for?’ ‘The axe. Have you seen it somewhere?’ The wife might laugh and ask. ‘What’s that on your shoulder? This is the problem that afflicts us and our African leaders. Africa suffers from ‘seeking solutions from afar syndrome’. When our African presidents are hit by some serious malady, the president’s men will automatically swing into action. ‘Take mze outsi...
