  Our folks are dying because when they have BP,Diabetes,Asthma,Cancer,Fibroid,Blindness,Knee problems or any other sickness instead of seeing a Doctor they will rather go to Osofo,Pastor,Malam,Priest or prayer camp so by the time they will decide or be advised by an enlightened friend or family member to see a Doctor it will be toooo late in it's advanced stage and most of these sicknesses once it reaches it's advanced stage it might be tooo late for the Doctor to control but since no Doctor can turn you away they will only try but in mopst instances the outcome is death and as with our folks when that fellow dies the bnelieve is thjat the Doctor is not good thinking Doctors are superhuman or magicians.Once it's too late it is just late and such stages it becomes more of trial and error.In today's world none of these sicknesses is a death sentence anymore.They are not curable but treatable and manageable and you can have any of these and live to be 100 if go for your regular medical check ups,just donot wait to be sick before you do your check ups,and continue to do your follow ups,take your medications as told by your Dr.,watch what you eat and donot follow the crowd because your life is in your own hands and we got only one life to live,listen to your own body language and if you feel something is not right see your Dr.and always rememeber your Dr is your ally just feel free to confide in him and always know that there is no shyness in sickness because sickness and death is part of life and especially since everybody is praying for longer life on this planet earth we should expect more sicknesses because they come with aging,trying exercise regularly,drink more water everyday mdonot wait to be thirsty before you drink,get enough sleep as possible,eat more fruits,vegetables everyday,eat fish and skinless chicken,get away from red meat and salt,try to bake instead of frying,get away from excessive noise,stop smoking and get away from smokers because second smoke is just as dangerous as the smoker self.Try to reduce stress especially try not to get any anger or rancour in you because stress can mess up your whole system.If someone wrongs you just talk to yourself and let go donot keep it inside because at the of the day you are killing yourself slowly and you donot benefit afterall why should you worry about something you can not change.Set goals but not unrealistic goals eg.why will a 70 year old set a goal he wants to be a Doctor when at age does not have a high school certificate just be realistic.Donot allow your children to stress you out because remember they are in a different era of computers and just as they can learn from us we can also learn alot from them sop we need to change our old way of thinking.Yes tradition is tradition but we can not allow ourselves to be tooo much of traditionalist,idealist or over opiniated but be open to change because all societies like like it or not are changing and will continue to change so is our thinking and our perceptions about everything.Thanks and be the judge.

  Pastors tell church goers to fast and mosque goers also fast during Ramadan without knowing if they are suffering from undiagnosed diabetes. Then if all of a sudden they collapse and die the same pastor will claim it is the cause of their gray haired grandmother. Thereby breaking families apart till thy queendom come.

  Africa should stick or rely on WALNUT PLANTATIONS to help in reducing BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL.
  As we are unfortunately,one of the continents that are seriously affected by DIABETES,we are advised to add WALNUT in our daily food intake.
  Our diet should be taken very serious.
