"Our Preference For Herbal Remedies Over COVID-19 Vaccine" By Dr. Lukman

Another traditional medicine practitioner, TMP Oseni Luqman Ademola has said the effectiveness of traditional medicine should not be doubted in the cure of diseases including the coronavirus.

He explained that he produced a remedy for the virus in small quantities, adding that he could have done better in tandem with international standards.

He said, “There is clear evidence of how powerful and effective the plant is. During our secondary school life.

“Our Agric and Biology teachers made it known to us how important planted trees are in our environments., i.e the air that comes out of any tree is always natural. And secondly, let’s take a look at some ailments and their treatment in Orthodox and Natural Herbs. Let’s take a look at Piles and Dysentery.

“There is no way you can take an Orthodox medicine and work effectively for these two diseases. I wouldn’t like to mention names here as per the nature of my job. There is a man I treated in Osun. He’s a senior pharmacist who battled with Pile and Dysentery for 3-4 years. Immediately I was recommended to him, he glorified God and appreciated natural plants.

”Let’s also look at snake poison. If a snake should bite two persons now and they were to be treated in two different ways. All we need to do is to just apply Natural Herbal balm, herbal ointment or herbal powder all made from plants and then apply it to the affected area of the victim’s body. I can guarantee you that in the next five minutes, the person will be back on his feets and urinated out the poison.

”Herb can naturally cure coronavirus. There are people in Nigeria that are blessed with the knowledge of local science and uses of natural plants. Look at garlic, stone breakers and some other plants. They are all antibacterial.

“This is the most profitable investment for Chinese, Brazil, Cuba, Ghana, UAE and some other developing countries that see good things in natural plants .Why not? I have produced one but very small in quantity because we are financially handicapped.* *Although I had no access to any COVID-19 patient in Nigeria, it was used for similar ailments. If given the chance to treat COVID-19 today I will in accordance with international standards.

“My humble plea to the FG is to please establish an agency without bias that will look into our locally made herb. The current agency is a total threat to our local made herb.”
