Mama Africa is sick and getting sicker! Millions suffer from cancer! Millions have heart attacks! Millions considered HIV positive! Millions have tuberculosis! Millions are affected with diabetes! Malaria is the first leading cause of death! And cases of epidemics are reported every year! Mama Africa, is your behaviour malpractice? Mama Africa,have you forgotten how you lived before 1800? Mama Africa,have you forgotten the healing skills you possessed? Mama Africa,have you delibarately avoided your healing skills? Europe learnt about you with admiration and awe! chipepo lwele PS;Hats off to the chinese!!!They have completed their hat trick in traditional medicine.But, alas,here in Africa ,it would be associated with witchcraft and mysticism! A CRY FROM DEEP DOWN MY HEART!

true...it's both true and really sad...each day we have new epidemics here in Africa..and yet we are the source of all herbs. Each herb, each grass, each tree here is a cure for some ailment..unfortunately we have been taught that using them is practicing witchcraft!!!
