The need for great individual or family life began with time. God the Almighty Himself knows that the need by man to have good and healthy life cannot be over-emphasized. He made man and gave him every good thing of life. Man has never lacked good things of life. It is only unfortunate however, and you may contradict this if you can, that the reason why there are a lot of inconsistencies, complications, diseases, sicknesses and afflictions in the world today is due to man’s insatiable quest for knowledge, his inordinate ambition to live inside the sun (or moon or wherever) and his unquenchable hunger to have all no matter whose ass is on the line. Kind of the end justifying the means. Machiavellian? As a result of this, man no longer listens to himself, he has long-lost touch with the environment, the natural and the quintessential order of things; man has failed himself. The result? Cancer, diabetes, HIV, pulmonary loss of the mind, and de-oxygenated destruction of self. Did I just say de-oxygenated? Well, whatever that means. But the major thing is or guess what? Instead of man to return to himself on realizing this personal dismal performance, man keeps on complicating things for himself and keeps on thinking that his next latest tactics of knowledge would cure all. How ironical. But God Almighty is always faithful. He did not only provide solution to man’s complex and complicated life, for He knew the end from the beginning, He also made remedies of whatever problem he faces, to man. In and around man, there are inbuilt stabilizers. Man should not have to worry about sicknesses, diseases and afflictions anymore. Man is born wealthy and healthy. But how come it is not as simple as I am putting it here? Reason No. 1, man is spiritually blind. Reason No. 2, he is too self-calculated and self-opinionated that he even doubts himself and disagrees with natural and quiet timings of himself. Conclusion: man continues in self-induced bondage. Way forward? Self-rediscovery. Man should go back to nature, open his own eyes and see where he missed it. Back to nature. Back to the environment and back to wealth and health. Returning back to nature is not just about increasing the physical life force of man, it is a call to a total liberation of the human person. A call that man should break loose from the untimely inevitable. Death. Death is a reality from which no one can hide. Even when man tries to suppress the thought of dying, daily events about the loss of family, relatives or friends keep him on the edge of his seat that it could be his turn next. The universally acceptable truth about death is this: as humans, one day, we shall join our ancestors. This may shatter our illusion of invincibility, of power, might, strength and greatness. But one day is one day. The silent cold hands of death…would come…. However pathetic this may seem, man still has opportunity to at least grow old, get weak before death. This is our major concern in this blog. You have a right to stay alive till about 120 years of age or thereabout. Don’t die through simple common diseases. For this purpose, I have discussed at length with Dr. Vincent Akpasubi, whom I told you about earlier on. This veteran Dr. told me a very pathetic story one day and here it is: he was visiting his home-town, Igodonesan, a village of about 500 km from where he lived (outside the city of Lagos), after about 2 years. On getting to the village, the Dr. decided to visit his paternal uncle, an ageing man of about 80. On reaching the home of his uncle, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The old man has emaciated so much that he would have hidden behind a broomstick without being seen. Imagine a man who was hitherto considered to be very healthy and plump with about 120 kg to his credit. What was the problem? An open wound. The man was nursing (in fact has been nursing an open sore or wound) for more than a year and the wound refused to heal. He has visited the local hospitals and pharmacies without any solution. As soon as our Dr friend heard this, he shook his head in utter disbelief. Because around the old man’s house there were many herbs, plants and fruit-trees. So why was the old man not availing himself of the opportunities around him and get healed? Ignorance.
“Uncle”, the Dr. called the old man. “What is that plant I see directly behind your window?”
“Pawpaw” the old answered.
“So why didn’t you use it?”
“How?” the old man asked in disbelief.
“That tree you are seeing is a wonder tree. It can heal you when you use it properly on your wound and within a week this sore on your leg will disappear.”
The Dr. went straight and administered pure natural pawpaw treatment on the old frail man. He plucked some fresh leaves from the pawpaw, squeezed them together with water and directly applied it to the old man’s wound. He told the old man to continue with this treatment, morning and night for at least a week. And that the following day, he should peel unripe pawpaw and tie it directly to the wound. And guess what? Before four days, the wound completely dried up and by the fifth day, it had completely healed. When the good Dr. told me this, I was completely amazed. He then told me the amazing things about this plant. The pawpaw plant is a native of South America where it was cultivated since Pre-Columbian times. There are 22 species known to man the most famous of which is carica papaya. Pawpaw reached Europe in 1690 and Asia in the 18th Century. Pawpaw is now grown all over tropical Africa. It is a very beautiful plant; hence it is used ornamentally in some parts of the world. Pawpaw is one of God’s wonderful gifts to humanity. When one looks at the beauty and richness of nature, according to Dr. Vincent, one cannot but burst into songs of praise to God. Pawpaw is a holistic pharmacy in itself. We like pawpaw as a fruit and enjoy its delicious taste. But how many of us know the medicinal values of this plant? How many of us know that pawpaw improves digestion of protein and expels worms (all kinds of whether ring or tapeworm) from the system? Do we know that the ripe fruits are rich in Vitamins A, B and C? We can actually improve our eyesight, nerves and muscles and strengthen our immune system by just paying closer attention to pawpaw. The Dr. informed me that to eject unwanted guests like worms from the system, one can actually chew two tablespoons of the seeds of ripe pawpaw fruit first thing in the morning and last thing at night for at least three days. At this time, the Dr. advises, eat only fruits for breakfast and supper for the three days. For chronic external ulcers or sores, cut a piece of unripe pawpaw fruit and tie directly to the wound. This might look ridiculous or primitive, but when you do this at regular intervals say three hours in between four times daily for a week, you will be surprise how the wound will totally disappear. You may as well, says the Dr. eat plenty of ripe pawpaw during the treatment. Sounds more like enjoyment to me. I shall tell you more about the miraculous uses of this plant soon. But what comment do you have about what you have heard so far? Please let me know.
