Africa ruled bt sick Leaders

By Rev. Steven Okhutu

Have you ever imagined why African leaders top the list of the most corrupt? Think about it.

In my early school days, my health science teacher emphasized the need for a balanced diet as the only solution for malnutrition. ‘A pot belly’ she said, “is a sign of poor feeding’. At first I took the message literally until of late when I realized the logic. It is funny to note that the people I used to envy are now on the list of those I despise most! You know in Africa we tend to think that these big, out of shape people are the rich lot and that the small ones are poor!
This may to some extent be true until one gets to know how those people are suffering from Obesity, Diabetics, Hypertension and many other related complications related to malnutrition –poor feeding!

Recently, in my media practice, I came in contact with the work of two prominent medical Doctors in Kampala that opened my eyes that I now write this.

Dr. Ian Clerk of Kampala international Hospital wrote in The New Vision, a state owned paper in Kampala that Africans are now suffering from diseases that affected Europe some 100 years ago due to ignorance. Diseases like Diabetics, hypertension and Ulcers are now fast spreading among Africans as a result of foods believed to be of a certain class of people.

Dr. David Ssali in his health lectures supports Dr. Clerk. He says that most of the foods eaten especially by the so-called ‘civilized’ Africans are so toxic that it is not even worth for a condemned prisoner. No wonder the lifespan of an average African has drastically dropped to at least 30 years.

It is a well kept secret among doctors that all factory processed food, poor cooked especially fried, loose the necessary food values and even the little that could have helped the body is destroyed by ethanol produced in the body. The end result is that the white blood cells and the digestive process is affected leaving the body poor or no immunity!

The poor digestive system caused by ‘dead’ food coupled with too much starch and low fibres causes constipation.
“Imagine a person eating some good kilogrammes of food in a day but only empties the bowel once in two days!” Dr. Ssali wonders adding that even then, only a quarter of what was consumed is emptied. The rest of the food remains hanging on the stomach walls causing more problems as the body fights to excrete.

Now take a close look of all the leaders in Africa, most of them are out of shape with bellies waiting to burst.
They spend most of their lifetime worrying about their health, ‘eating’ more tablets and other toxic medications and the valuable time spent in consulting doctors. What they do is only treating the symptom than the cause and at the end the problem is not solved.

Take note that these medical bills cost money. This means that because their hands are so close to public funds, they will not hesitate to embezzle them. They hide their miseries in European hospitals leaving their subjects with no infrastructures. A clear sign that even their brains are terribly affected –how can one fail to plan for his country because of his selfish interests!

But what can common man do? The modern doctors are busy making money from their so called medicines which they are personally not sure if they can cure! So more deaths are caused that lives saved with these modern medicines caused by the commercialization of medications! A lot of money is invested in lying to Africans that their crude medication –the ones tested some 1000 years ago and proved to useful without side effects are bad and the modern ones, which are scientifically proved to kill lives, are good to an African life.

It is common knowledge that most of the medicines that were used in Africa were more of food that medicines. Take note of the leaves. No one protests that chlorophyll is good for the body either in cleansing the body or blood. And this is natural without any artificial toxins.

Africa has now become a testing ground for biological weapons and at the end of the day the world detests it for its endless epidemics. But are these epidemics really natural? This is a question everybody should be asking if we are to find a solution.

Africa should stop eating for the sake of pleasing the neighbor and start eating to live.

The problem is not the diseases man suffers but the cause. We suffer because we do not know what, when and how to eat. I think the problem is constipation and body ethanol. So we should fight to empty the bowel and eat mostly organic food.

Funny enough we know what to do but commercial producers deceives us that eating toxins and behaving foolishly is a status signature for civilized people. The cost of being a fool!

Next time you think of curbing corruption, think of restoring African civilization. The traditional values that had rich hidden wisdom for even the European to understand. No wonder they called Africa a dark continent!

Unless we discover Africa, we still have centuries of sick people, corrupt leaders, poor nations and yes, the hungry greedy so called developed countries ready to grab the African rich resources.

As the sick leaders continue to depend on western medications to treat their ignorance, African remain on the mercy of God.

What will remain of Africa? Civilization gone! Wisdom gone! Wealth gone! No love, no respect no brotherhood! God bless Africa!
