AN OVERVIEW

If one does not lick his fingers in the tropical harmattan season, the dry winds will oblige him by doing it free-of-charge. Canonising our own Blessed has been put on hold by Vatican for reasons best known to them. Again, it is said that ‘ Necessity is the mother of invention’. That sums up the origin of this association. We are a team of interdisciplinary  certified, proven and tested professionals in every field of endeavour poised to widen the horizons of Tansian Humanitarianism by replicating his virtues and works of love, charity and evangelism.

Why has our own BLESSED not been canonised whereas the Pope who declared him ‘blessed’ has been elevated to sainthood by the Roman Catholic Church. Did he not attain the rank before both Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II? We may be ignorant of the little technicalities delaying the Holy See but we are not ignorant of the saintly miracles our dear son has performed for decades now. Why is Vatican dragging its feet? We are no longer waiting for anyone to boss us over the authenticity of what we can clearly see in our palms or the veracity of visible evidences of divine favours that our kith and kin have gained through BLESSED IWENE TANSI. Did we campaign for a Pope to come down here and announce it to us? - - NO IS THE RIGHT ANSWER. We did not lobby anyone to elevate him. The Holy Spirit and his brother monks did. So, who are we waiting for? We are the ones restricting ourselves. He was declared a SAINT that same day he was pronounced ‘Blessed’. Rearrange the letters in “TANSI” and you will realise for the first time that Vatican inadvertently already named him a SAINT. This latest association of laymen professionals are his spiritual sons. He is our SAINT, and we will prove it so by our LABOURS OF LOVE FOR HIM. Join us today.

LET US SEE UNEDITED ENTRIES IN ONLY MICROSOFT ENCRTA ENCYCLOPEDIA FOR NOW

Canonization, in the Roman Catholic church, an act by which the pope publicly proclaims the sanctity of a deceased person, whom he thereupon proposes for the veneration of the universal church. Canonization is usually the final act of a lengthy process that begins with beatification. The decree of beatification is an official declaration that a person lived a holy life and can be venerated as one of the “blessed”; canonization awards the full title of “saint.” In the Orthodox church, the process of canonization is less formal and is carried out by local synods of bishops.
The modern custom of canonization originated in the early Christian practice of paying public honor to the martyrs. For many centuries thereafter the title of saint was bestowed by popular acclamation. Not until a comparatively late period was a procedure equivalent to canonization adopted.
The earliest acknowledged instance of a solemn decree of canonization is that of Udalric or Ulric, bishop of Augsburg, declared a saint by Pope John XV in 993. Pope Alexander III in 1171 reserved the right of canonizing exclusively for the papacy. Pope Urban VIII, in two constitutions promulgated in 1625 and 1634, made more stringent regulations and laid down the canonization procedure that, with slight modifications, is still followed.
Canonization, without a special dispensation, cannot be decreed until 50 years have elapsed since the claimant's death. The process that precedes the decree of canonization seeks to establish two characteristics of the claimant according to the testimony of competent witnesses: eminent virtues, technically referred to as virtues in a “heroic degree,” and the performance of at least two authentic miracles. If the initial investigation is satisfactory, the pope takes the cause into his own hands and issues letters assigning the cause to a committee of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which then examines the virtues and miracles specifically. The claimant's cause is now said to be introduced. The introduction of the cause, that is, of the pontifical process, entitles the beatificandus, or candidate for beatification, to be called “venerable.” Many candidates have reached this point in the proceedings and have failed to go beyond it. If the candidate passes successfully through the proceedings, a decree of beatification is pronounced. Before the further process of canonization can be instituted, witnesses must testify that the candidate has worked a certain number of miracles since beatification. The case then once more passes through the hands of several congregations, the last of which is held in the presence of the pope, when the final decree is agreed upon.
The ceremony of canonization occurs in Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and is one of the most solemn and imposing of all papal functions.
Equipollent or equivalent canonization is founded upon proof of immemorial veneration, or of some papal sanction given to veneration, prior to the date of Urban VIII's constitution. In such cases the pope may at once pronounce the decree of canonization. Equipollent beatification is a summary process of a similar kind. The pope accepts the results of the preliminary process and at once decrees beatification.
Beatification, since the 12th century, an official papal declaration that a deceased person lived a holy life and is worthy of veneration. The beatified person receives the title “blessed.” The process leading to beatification involves an intensive examination of the life, writings, and reputation of the person under consideration. It is generally a step toward canonization. Before the 12th century, local bishops instituted the process and issued the declaration of beatification for their own dioceses.

INTRODUCTION




Saints' Days






Saint, name applied in the New Testament (Colossians 1:2) to the members of the Christian community generally, but restricted in ecclesiastical usage from very early times to those who have been virtuous to a heroic degree. Saints are traditionally distributed into several classes: apostles and evangelists; martyrs; confessors, originally, those who had undergone imprisonment or pains without the final crown of martyrdom and, later, male saints in general who were eminent for sanctity; doctors, saints eminent for sacred learning; virgins; and matrons and widows. For the methods by which the title of saint has been conferred in early and in modern times, see Canonization.

II.
VENERATION OF SAINTS
By the 4th century ad, the practice of venerating the saints was widespread. During the Middle Ages, however, much superstition surrounded the practice. Even before the Reformation, the Bogomils and Waldenses objected to the veneration of saints; at the time of the Reformation, the practice was generally rejected as scripturally unfounded. The Roman Catholic Council of Trent (1545-63) affirmed that it is a good and useful thing to invoke the saints on account of the benefits to be obtained from God through their intercession. The belief and practice of the Orthodox church is basically the same as that of the Roman Catholic.
Of the many saints, almost all record has perished except their names. The fullest list is found in the general table in the 61st volume of the colossal Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists, which mentions about 20,000 saints. The catalog that possesses the highest ecclesiastical authority is that of the Martyrologium Romanum. The martyrology numbers some 2700 saints, including about 20 saints of the Old Testament, arranged according to the days of their celebration. Many of these saints were honored annually with a special feast day; at one time their feast days filled about two-thirds of the Roman Catholic church's liturgical calendar, although some of the saints had become little more than names. In 1964 Vatican Council II concluded that only saints “of truly universal significance should be extended to the universal Church” and the others “should be left to be celebrated by a particular church, or nation, or religious community.” Accordingly, in 1969, Pope Paul VI approved a reordering of the liturgical calendar to achieve the council's wish. In the revised calendar, which took effect on January 1, 1970, only 58 regular, or obligatory, and 92 optional feast days of saints were retained in addition to those of Christ, the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and the apostles.

HISTORIC DOCUMENTS
From Lives of the Artists: Cimabue
Although a painter and architect himself, Giorgio Vasari is best known for his ten-volume Lives of the Artists (1550; revised 1568), which discusses the character and work of Italian Renaissance artists. Over the centuries, scholars have regarded Vasari's engaging and anecdotal biographies as an invaluable primary source. In his account of the career of 13th-century Florentine painter and mosaicist Cimabue, Vasari stresses the artist’s innovative treatment of religious figures and his movement away from the “stiff” Byzantine style in which he had been apprenticed to show depth and movement.

In Christian art representations of the saints, as well as of Christ, are often marked by a halo (also known as a nimbus, aureole, or glory), a ring or area of radiance about the head or entire figure, and many of the saints are pictured with emblems by which they could readily be recognized. A martyr who had a special interest in a place was called its patron as early as the 4th century. Trades and professions had their patrons, and for every disease a saint could be invoked to cure it. Among the widely known patron saints are Andrew of Scotland, Denis of France, George of England, Nicholas of Russia, Patrick of Ireland, James the Great of Spain, and Stephen of Hungary. The term hagiology or hagiography is used to denote the branch of literature that is concerned with the lives and legends of the saints.

All Saints’ Day, also Allhallows or Hallowmas, festival celebrated on November 1 in the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches, and by the Orthodox churches on the first Sunday after Pentecost, in honor of God and all his saints, known and unknown. It became established as a church festival early in the 7th century when the Pantheon in Rome was consecrated as the Church of the Blessed Virgin and All Martyrs. Pope Gregory IV gave the custom official authorization in 835. November 1 may have been chosen because it was the day of one of the four great festivals of the pagan nations of the north, and it was church policy to supplant pagan with Christian observances.

TABANSI THERAPEUTIC & RESEARCH CENTRE
TTRC
AN OVERVIEW OF THE THERAPEUTIC ORIENTATION OF HEALTH PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS OF SSSMIT

Health in human beings is the extent of an individual's continuing physical, emotional, mental, and social ability to cope with his environment.
This definition, just one of many that are possible, has its drawbacks. The rather fragile individual who stays “well” within the ordinary environment of his or her existence may succumb to a heart attack from heavy shovelling after a snowstorm; or a sea-level dweller may move to a new home in the mountains, where the atmosphere has a lower content of oxygen, and suffer from shortness of breath and anaemia until his red blood cell count adjusts itself to the altitude. Thus, even by this definition, the conception of good health must involve some allowance for change in the environment.
Bad health can be defined as the presence of disease, good health as its absence—particularly the absence of continuing disease, because the person afflicted with a sudden attack of seasickness, for example, may not be thought of as having lost his good health as a result of such a mishap.
Actually, there is a wide variable area between health and disease. Only a few examples are necessary to illustrate the point:
(1) It is physiologically normal for an individual, 15 to 20 minutes after eating a meal, to have a high blood sugar content. If, however, the sugar content remains elevated two hours later, this condition is abnormal and may be indicative of disease.
(2) A “healthy” individual may have developed an allergy, perhaps during early childhood, to a single specific substance. If he never again comes in contact with the antigen that causes the allergy, all other factors remaining normal, he will remain in that state of health.
Should he, however, come in contact with that allergen, even 20 or 30 years later, he may suffer anything from a mild allergic reaction—a simple rash—to severe anaphylactic shock, coma, or even death, depending upon the circumstances. Thus it can be seen that, unlike disease, which is frequently recognizable, tangible, and rather easily defined, health is a somewhat nebulous condition, and somewhat difficult to define.
Moreover, physical condition and health are not synonymous terms. A seven-foot-tall basketball player may be in excellent physical condition (although outside the range of normality for height) but may or may not be in good health—depending, for example, on whether or not he has fallen victim to an attack of influenza.
There are further problems in settling upon a definition of human health. A person may be physically strong, resistant to infection, able to cope with physical hardship and other features of his physical environment, and still be considered unhealthy if his mental state, as measured by his behaviour, is deemed unsound. What is mental health? Some say that a person is mentally healthy if he is able to function reasonably well. Others hold that a person is healthy mentally if his behaviour is like that of a majority of his fellows.
In the face of this confusion, it is most useful, perhaps, to define health, good or bad, in terms that can be measured, can be interpreted with respect to the ability of the individual at the time of measurement to function in a normal manner and with respect to the likelihood of imminent disease. These measurements can be found in tables of “reference values” printed in textbooks of clinical medicine, diagnosis, and other references of this type. When an individual is given a health examination, the examination is likely to include a series of tests. Some of these tests are more descriptive than quantitative and can indicate the presence of disease in a seemingly healthy person. Such tests include the electrocardiogram to detect some kinds of heart disease; electromyogram for primary muscle disorders; liver and gall bladder function tests; and X-ray techniques for determining disease or malfunction of internal organs.
Other tests give numerical results (or results that can be assigned numerical values—such as photometric colour determinations) that can be interpreted by the examiner. These are physical and chemical tests, including blood, urine, and spinal-fluid analyses. The results of the tests are compared with the reference values; and the physician receives clues as to the health of his patient and, if the values are abnormal, for the methods of improving his health.
A major difficulty in the interpretation of test results is that of biological variability. Almost without exception these reference values for variables are means or adjusted means of large group measurements. For these values to have significance, they must be considered as lying somewhere near the centre point of a 95 percent range—i.e., the so-called ordinary range or, with reservations, the range from normal to the upper and lower borderline limits. Thus, the 2.5 percent below the lower limit and the 2.5 percent above the upper limit of the 95 percent range are considered areas of abnormality or, perhaps, illness. Some areas have wide 95 percent ranges—blood pressure, for example, may vary considerably throughout the day (e.g., during exercise, fright, or anger) and remain within its range of normality. Other values have ranges so narrow that they are termed physiological constants. An individual's body temperature, for example, rarely varies (when taken at the same anatomical site) by more than a degree (from time of rising until bedtime) without being indicative of infection or other illness.

A KENEZIAN MODIFICATION FOR SSSMIT
I have always argued that many people mistakenly take health to refer only to physical well being of the individual. This is totally wrong. The social and mental well being is neglected without many realising that the duo actually produce the physical symptoms that develop into perennial ill-health that later is termed TERMINAL DISEASES. A good example is High Blood Pressure. Just like the philosophical question; WHICH CAME FIRST, THE EGG OR THE HEN? It is absurd that General Practitioners of Human Medicine forgot to emphasise to their patients that there are certain human relationships that produce physical diseases. We need to bring social and mental levels of health in any good definition. Dr Kenez (1981)
Physical fitness (health)
•               major reference
•               prevention of disease
•               relationship to health
•               exercises for strength
Physical fitness is a general concept and is defined in many ways by different scientists. Physical fitness is discussed here in two major categories: health-related physical fitness and motor-performance physical fitness. Despite some overlap between these classifications, there are major differences, as described below.
 Health-related physical fitness
Health-related physical fitness is defined as fitness related to some aspect of health. This type of physical fitness is primarily influenced by an individual's exercise habits; thus, it is a dynamic state and may change. Physical characteristics that constitute health-related physical fitness include strength and endurance of skeletal muscles, joint flexibility, body composition, and cardio-respiratory endurance. All these attributes change in response to appropriate physical conditioning programs, and all are related to health. Strength and endurance of skeletal muscles of the trunk help maintain correct posture and prevent such problems as low back pain. Minimal levels of muscular strength and endurance are needed for routine tasks of living, such as carrying bags of groceries or picking up a young child. Individuals with very low levels of muscular strength and endurance are limited in the performance of routine tasks and have to lead a restricted life. Such limitations are perhaps only indirectly related to health, but individuals who cannot pick up and hug a grandchild or must struggle to get up from a soft chair surely have a lower quality of life than that enjoyed by their fitter peers. Flexibility, or range of motion around the joints, also ranks as an important component of health-related fitness. Lack of flexibility in the lower back and posterior thigh is thought to contribute to low back pain. Extreme lack of flexibility also has a deleterious effect on the quality of life by limiting performance. Body composition refers to the ratio between fat and lean tissue in the body. Excess body fat is clearly related to several health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type II (adult-onset) diabetes mellitus, and certain forms of cancer. Body composition is affected by diet, but exercise habits play a crucial role in preventing obesity and maintaining acceptable levels of body fat. Cardio-respiratory endurance, or aerobic fitness, is probably what most people identify as physical fitness. Aerobic fitness refers to the integrated functional capacity of the heart, lungs, vascular system, and skeletal muscles to expend energy. The basic activity that underlies this type of fitness is aerobic metabolism in the muscle cell, a process in which oxygen is combined with a fuel source (fats or carbohydrates) to release energy and produce carbon dioxide and water. The energy is used by the muscle to contract, thereby exerting force that can be used for movement. For the aerobic reaction to take place, the cardio-respiratory system (i.e., the circulatory and pulmonary systems) must constantly supply oxygen and fuel to the muscle cell and remove carbon dioxide from it. The maximal rate at which aerobic metabolism can occur is thus determined by the functional capacity of the cardio-respiratory system and is measured in the laboratory as maximal oxygen intake. As will be discussed in detail below, aerobic fitness is inversely related to the incidence of coronary heart disease and hypertension.
 Motor-performance physical fitness
Motor-performance fitness is defined as the ability of the neuromuscular system to perform specific tasks. Test items used to assess motor-performance fitness include chin-ups, sit-ups, the 50-yard dash, the standing long jump, and the shuttle run (a timed run in which the participant dashes back and forth between two points). The primary physical characteristics measured by these tests are the strength and endurance of the skeletal muscles and the speed or power of the legs. These traits are important for success in many types of athletics. Muscular strength and endurance are also related to some aspects of health, as stated above. There is disagreement among experts about the relative importance of health-related and motor-performance physical fitness. While both types of fitness are obviously desirable, their relative values should be determined by an individual's personal fitness objectives. If success in athletic events is of primary importance, motor-performance fitness should be emphasized. If concern about health is paramount, health-related fitness should be the focus. Different types of fitness may be important not only to different individuals but also to the same individual at different times. The 16-year-old competing on a school athletic team is likely to focus on motor performance. The typical middle-aged individual is not as likely to be concerned about athletic success, emphasizing instead health and appearance. One further point should be made: to a great extent, motor-performance physical fitness is determined by genetic potential. The person who can run fast at 10 years of age will be fast at age 17; although training may enhance racing performance, it will not appreciably change the individual's genetically determined running speed. On the other hand, characteristics of health-related physical fitness, while also partly determined by inheritance, are much more profoundly influenced by exercise habits.

•               Mental fitness (health)
The science of maintaining mental health and preventing the development of psychosis, neurosis, or other mental disorders. Since the founding of the United Nations the concepts of mental health and hygiene have achieved international acceptance. As defined in the 1946 constitution of the World Health Organization, “health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The term mental health represents a variety of human aspirations: rehabilitation of the mentally disturbed, prevention of mental disorder, reduction of tension in a stressful world, and attainment of a state of well-being in which the individual functions at a level consistent with his or her mental potential. As noted by the World Federation for Mental Health, the concept of optimum mental health refers not to an absolute or ideal state but to the best possible state insofar as circumstances are alterable. Mental health is regarded as a condition of the individual, relative to the capacities and social-environmental context of that person. Mental hygiene includes all measures taken to promote and to preserve mental health. Community mental health refers to the extent to which the organization and functioning of the community determines, or is conducive to, the mental health of its members. Throughout the ages the mentally disturbed have been viewed with a mixture of fear and revulsion. Their fate generally has been one of rejection, neglect, and ill treatment. Though in ancient medical writings there are references to mental disturbance that display views very similar to modern humane attitudes, interspersed in the same literature are instances of socially sanctioned cruelty based upon the belief that mental disorders have supernatural origins such as demonic possession. Even reformers sometimes used harsh methods of treatment; for example, the 18th-century American physician Benjamin Rush endorsed the practice of restraining mental patients with his notorious “tranquilising chair.”
•               Social health also called welfare service or social work
Social health is any of a variety of governmental programs designed to protect citizens from the economic risks and insecurities of life. The most common types of programs provide benefits to the elderly or retired, the sick or invalid, dependent survivors, mothers, the unemployed, the work-injured, and families. Methods of financing and administration and the scope of coverage and benefits vary widely among countries. Social health embraces any of numerous publicly or privately provided services intended to aid disadvantaged, distressed, or vulnerable persons or groups. The term social service also denotes the profession engaged in rendering such services. The social services have flourished in the 20th century as ideas of social responsibility have developed and spread. The basic concerns of social welfare—poverty, disability and disease, the dependent young and elderly—are as old as society itself. The laws of survival once severely limited the means by which these concerns could be addressed; to share another's burden meant to weaken one's own standing in the fierce struggle of daily existence. As societies developed, however, with their patterns of dependence between members, there arose more systematic responses to the factors that rendered individuals, and thus society at large, vulnerable.

THE TANSIAN MEDICAL RESEARCH CENTRE
The Precursor to TANSUTH; Tansi University Hospital

This will be a revolutionary epicentre of Innovative Research, Creative Healthcare and Tropical Medicine Oriented Unit.

SSSMIT as an interdisciplinary therapeutic consortium will be heavily engaged in medical research, both in orthodox or alternate human medicine. Our people had for so long been exposed to western conventional practice of treatment. We have for centuries relegated out traditional healing practices that our children are unaware that their great grandparents survived for centuries before the first white doctors arrived on our shores. We must re-orient our people by conducting investigative studies aimed at a rediscovery of the potent herbal medicine of our people and re-introduce them in our TANSIAN THERAPEUTICS.

What Is Alternative Medicine 

Throughout the ages, people have turned to herbal medicine for healing; the sixth field of alternative medicine. All cultures have folk medicine traditions that include the use of plants and plant products. Africa is not an exception!

Many licensed drugs used all over the world today, originated from roots and plants in the herbal traditions of various cultures, such as the medication commonly used for heart failure, ‘Digitalis’, that is derived from foxglove! ‘Quinine’, the brand name for ‘Quinacrine’, which my generation drank throughout our infant years in the colonial administrtion,1950 until 1960 was manufactured by the British May & Baker Industry from ‘Dogonyaro’, a tropical tree our forefathers had been using for treating malaria for ages before the arrival of the first white man on the African continent! Its roots, stem, leaves and flowers had been processed and crystallized in Great Britain, then repackaged in yellow tablet forms and returned to the colonies as the ultimate in the treatment of Malaria; the white man’s scourge in West Africa.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4 billion people, or 80 percent of the world’s population, use herbal medicine for some aspect of primary health care. If this statement is valid, and I have no reasons to doubt it, then the West is vicariously admitting that they have come down from their pinnacle of “WE KNOW IT ALL AND DEVELOPING NATIONS MUST WAIT AND FOLLOW US.

This is exactly what our investigation is all about. If our forefathers survived childhood diseases, developed, evolved and practised their own brand of traditional obstetrics & gynaecology that ensured that our parents lived long enough to give birth to our generation, then a rediscovery of their unique pharmacopoeia will definitely save the lives of many of our unfortunate bothers and sisters who are already struck by the pandemic HIV and its Siamese twin- AIDS! Or, should we fold our arms and wait for the West to provide answers to all medical problems we are also qualified to provide?
Why Are People Turning To Alternative Medicine?
The onset of the human immunodeficiency virus epidemic (HIV, the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS) in the mid-1980s was one of the reasons people began turning to alternative medicine. Conventional medicine was unable to provide an effective treatment, leading people to seek other therapies. Public interest in alternative medicine also grew as people realized that victory in the fight against cancer was a long way off.

Other perceived shortcomings of conventional medicine centred around chronic ailments. For example, a 1998 study published in the JAMA by John Astin, a researcher at Stanford University in California, found that the health problems for which Americans most frequently use alternative therapies include chronic pain, muscle strains or sprains, headaches, arthritis, and addictions.

But not everyone who uses alternative medical procedures does so because they are dissatisfied with the results from mainstream treatments. “Alternative health care is becoming more widespread and popular for reasons that have nothing to do with alternative medicine,” says Michael Goldstein, a professor of public health at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and the author of Alternative Health Care: Medicine, Miracle, or Mirage? (1999).
“There is a negative feeling toward conventional medicine and the way it deals with particular problems such as chronic illness. And there is an increasing dissatisfaction with the way care is provided.”

For example, many people have expressed discontent with the health care provided by managed health-care plans. Managed health-care companies, such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs), often limit patients' choice of treatment options and providers to hold down costs. Critics of this cost-cutting approach believe it depersonalizes medical care and reduces doctors' interest in developing a relationship with their patients.

One measure of the increasing popularity of alternative medicine is that some managed care companies have begun to cover alternative treatments. Most major health insurance companies now cover at least one form of alternative therapy, often because the alternative therapy is less expensive than the conventional treatment. A 1997 study published in the American Journal of Health Promotion by Kenneth R. Pelletier, a researcher at Stanford University, found that 30 major U.S. insurers cover at least one form of alternative therapy. The benefits are typically tightly controlled, however.

Another factor behind the rising popularity of alternative health care is that many Americans (16.3 percent of the population, or about 44.3 million people in 1998) do not have health insurance or suffer from ailments that their insurance plan does not or will not cover. This situation has opened the door to practitioners who tout inexpensive, seemingly natural, ways to heal in lieu of mainstream, and more expensive, solutions.

FOR YOUR ENLIGHTENMENT HERE IS AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DISSERTATION ON THE RESUME I GAVE ABOVE AND HOW WE ADAPTED IT INTO OUR SEARCH A DECADE AGO FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TROPICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE HIV SCOURGE
OUR QUESTION THEN WAS WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE?
Alternative Medicine, also called unconventional medicine, is the use of therapeutic practices, techniques and beliefs that are outside the realm of mainstream Western health care. Alternative medicine emphasizes therapies that improve quality of life, prevent disease, and address conditions that conventional medicine has limited success in curing, such as chronic back pain and certain cancers.
Proponents of alternative medicine believe that these approaches to healing are safer and more natural and have been shown through experience to work. In certain countries, alternative medical practices are the most widely used methods of health care. However, many practitioners of modern conventional medicine believe these practices are unorthodox and unproven.
By some estimates 83 million United States residents use alternative medicine, spending more than $27 million a year. Reports from Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia also indicate a widespread interest in alternative therapies. A special report prepared for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Alternative Medicine: Expanding Medical Horizons categorizes alternative medicine practices into six fields.
The first field, mind-body intervention, explores the mind’s capacity to affect, and perhaps heal, the body. Studies have shown that the mental state has a profound effect on the immune system and subsequently these studies have provoked interest in the mind’s role in the cause and course of disease. Specific mind-body interventions include; meditation, hypnosis, art therapy, biofeedback and mental healing.
Bio-electromagnetic applications, the second field of alternative medicine, make use of the body’s response to non-thermal, non-ionising radiation. Current uses involve bone repair, nerve stimulation, wound healing, treatment of osteoarthritis and immune system stimulation.
The third field is alternative systems of medical practice. In each variation of this system, the practice is usually characterised by a specific theory of health and disease, an educational programme to teach its concepts to new practitioners and often a legal mandate to regulate its practice. Examples include; Acupuncture, popularised by the Chinese, Ayurvedic medicine, Homeopathy and Naturopathy.
Touch and manipulation are the mainstays of the manual healing methods, which constitute the fourth field of alternative medicine. Practitioners of chiropractic and massage therapies such as Rolfing structural integration believe that dysfunction of one part of the body often affects the function of other, not necessarily connected, parts. Manipulating bones or soft tissues or realigning body parts will therefore restore health.
The pharmacological and biological treatments that make up the fifth field of alternative medicine consist of an assortment of drugs and vaccines not yet accepted in mainstream medicine. Compounds such as anti-neoplastins (from human blood and urine) for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), various products of the honeybee for arthritis, and iscador (a liquid extract from mistletoe) for tumours have not been scientifically evaluated because of the expense of conducting safety and effectiveness studies.
Throughout the ages, people have turned for healing to herbal medicine, the sixth field of alternative medicine. All cultures have folk medicine traditions that include the use of plants and plant products. Many licensed drugs used today originated in the herbal traditions of various cultures, such as the medication commonly used for heart failure, digitalis, which is derived from foxglove. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 4 billion people, or 80 percent of the world’s population, use herbal medicine for some aspect of primary health care.
 This is exactly what our investigation is all about. If our forefathers survived childhood diseases, developed, evolved and practised their own brand of traditional obstetrics & gynaecology that ensured that our parents lived long enough to give birth to our generation, then a rediscovery of their unique pharmacopoeia will definitely save the lives of many of our unfortunate bothers and sister who are already struck by the pandemic HIV and its Siamese twin- AIDS!
THE PHILOSOPHY OF HAFANI RESEARCH CONSORTIUM IN PREFERRING THE USE OF HERBAL MEDICINE TO TREAT HIV.
WE HAD NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO LOOK INWARDS FOR COST EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES; PALLIATIVE OR PROPHYLACTIC REMEDIES, TO STEM THE SPREAD OF THE PANDEMIC IN AFRICA AND REDUCE THE EXORBITANT DRUGS MARKETED BY THE WEST.
Use of “Moringa Oleifera” in Hafani’s Alternative Therapy
Our search for cheaper means of caring for PLWA in the rural community who may not have access to synthetic multivitamins took us the doors of Epidemiologists. One of our consultants, who works at the National Arbovirus and Vectors; Research Division of the Federal Ministry of Health, Dr N. A. Ozumba, has processed and packaged the leaf powder form of this great plant, which he labelled “MOVITAAMIN”, abbreviated DOM.
The name is derived thus: MO-VIT-AA-MIN tells us that the plant Moringa Oleifera is very rich in and provides the Vitamins, the essential Amino Acids, and Minerals that our body needs.
In this case, it goes beyond supplementing human nutrition to the more significant function of bolstering the immune system of people living with HIV-AIDS, thereby enhancing prophylaxis and improving the appetite of its beneficiaries! In the field, it has been sampled and tested on pregnant and breast-feeding women, malnourished infants and people living with HIV-AIDS for three years with magnificent results. It is equally reported to have increased the physical and mental well being of those who use it just as food supplement! We have scientifically documented evidence that any interested research scientist can verify, duplicate, replicate, validate and standardise!
“Moringa Oleifera”, comes from the botanical family; Moringaceae, of the genus; Moringa. Fourteen species make up the genus, but our choice is the most popular and the best known in scientific circles. It is a fast growing and drought-resistant tree, native to Northern India but now widely distributed all over the tropics and sub-tropical zones of the world. It was known and highly valued by the ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek civilisations. Recently it has been recognised as a multipurpose plant with vast potentials, in human and animal nutrition, traditional folk medicine, agro-forestry, and is equally used for water purification by environmentalists, production of high quality oils for the cosmetic industry, and it used in illumination and as lubricant for fine watches.                       
(For details consult Morton; 1991, Folkard and Sutherland; 1996).
In   Nigeria, the plant grows profusely in the wild all the year round since we are yet to appreciate and exploit its nutritional values. Whereas it called the horseradish tree in Britain, ben aile in France, in Nigeria, the Fulani call it; Rini maka, the Hausas call it; Zongalla gandi, the Yoruba call it; Idagbo monoye, while the landlords of Igboland label it;Odudu Oyibo or Ikwe oyibo!
The leaves are outstanding among all leafy vegetables in the tropics as it a very rich source of both Vitamin A and Vitamin C when eaten raw! They are equally a good source of the various versions of the B vitamins and soluble minerals. “The Calcium content is high for a plant. Phosphorus is low as it should be. The content of Iron is very good. (It is reportedly prescribed for anaemia in the Philippines). They are an excellent source of protein and very low source of fat and carbohydrates. Thus the leaves are on of the vest plant foods tat can be found”(Martin cited in Price, 2000).
Going through the comparative table analysing the content of these vitamins per 100 grams of the plant, the dried Leaf Powder contains twice much more than both the Pods and fresh Leaves do! For more details, consult Fugile et al; 1999 & 2000). In the West African sub-region only in Senegal is the plant fully exploited for its nutritional value. However, every part of the Moringa plant is used in traditional medicine in every rural community in the AmericasAfrica and Asia.
Presently, scientific laboratory investigations and our experimentation in the search for alternative management strategies for HIV-AIDS in Africa at UNTH from 2001 2005, have confirmed its therapeutic efficiency as well as its remedial effectiveness in nutrition/dietetics by pre-literate healers all over the globe! It is this certainty that emboldens us to recommend that other health researchers evaluate our claims! With the three regimens code-named HAT/2003/…VCO, AVT and SMV, we have achieved success in arresting the sporadic spread of the pandemic in our community! You, too, can!!
Many licensed drugs used today originated in the herbal traditions of various cultures, and therefore Hafani Research Consortium utilised the natural roots, herbs and other resources in the tropics to alleviate the throes of our kith and kin dying from the incurable HIV-AIDS pandemic rather than complacently wait for foreign patented drugs. We neither owe anyone any excuses, explanations nor apologies for using what we have in the tropics to manage the health issues and medical problems facing us as altruistic, patriotic and humanitarian research scientists. The age when Africans and Asians stood still when Europeans sneezed is over and gone for good. We must paddle our own canoes and stop being stagnated or regressed adolescents waiting for our daily bread to be rationed out to us!
Hafani Research Consortium is blazing the trail! Do you care for our rural communities? You can only answer that question by taking a resolution to stop sitting on the fence. Are you still tied to the apron strings of your erstwhile colonial masters? This is opportune time to liberate yourself and others. Apply the knowledge of scientific research you acquired in the university and alleviate the problems of our brothers and sisters by appropriating the high sounding prefixes and accolades attached to your names! This, and only this, is our mission!
We are not holding briefs for anyone, group of persons or institution. We do not represent any religious or political organisation, not even the WHO nor the UN. We are simply medical experts and natural scientists motivated by the need to find lasting solutions to the throes our kith and kin are passing through by suffering this pandemic. We are ordinary humanitarians trying our best to be our “brothers/sisters keepers”!
If the International Scientific Community is stating that they have no cure for now, shall we remain complacent while our women and children are plagued by this contraption of western science; whereas they are busy doling out free condoms and their own brands of anti-retroviral drugs that are merely prophylactic, our relatives are dying in millions here in Africa? No! ‘God forbid bad thing’ our native folks say!
The Almighty Creator in his Infinite Wisdom had/has endowed every community with the natural remedies for all the diseases that abound in their environment. It is left for dedicated elders and renowned sages in these communities to discover these healing remedies and employ them the maximum benefits that their kith and kin can derive there from. This is what we have initiated to rescue our people from Western dominance.

  3. MOST REV DR MICHAEL UGWUJA ENEJA MY FIRST RECTOR AT ONITSHA



    HERE IS ANOTHER IGBO SAINT that lived among us who had SAINT IWENE TANSI as his Mentor & Role Model. He was known as REV. FR. MICHAEL UGWUJA ENEJA, a native of NSUKKA, who reached the Episcopal Rank of A Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese and only recently SLEPT IN THE LORD in 2008!

    ARE WE GOING THROUGH THE SAME RACIST PROCESS AGAIN? This one went to the same seminaries Cyprain Michael Iwene Tabansi of Aguleri attended. Did you notice both had same Patron Saint at baptism? Their parents lived miles apart at different epochs of missionary evangelisation, can’t you the hand of God in this coincidence?

    This other saint was my own Rector @ ALL HALLOWS SEMINARY, ONITSHA, from 1962 - 1964. At the end of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war in which he served as an adorable Chaplain to Soldiers on both sides of the senseless fratricide that lasted 3 years, he was later incardinated in his home Catholic Diocese of Enugu and became a Senior Ethics Lecturer in BIGARD MEMORIAL MAJOR SEMINARY, ENUGU.

    He was our most exemplary Spiritual Daddy; literally a Living Saint as he was even officially appointed and revered as the 'primus inter pares' among other younger Spiritual Formators we emulated at the time. I was there live. It was not narrated to me. I came! I saw!! I tasted and tested his evident virtues!!! I was and am still convinced to date that here was a Living Saint.

    Witness this peculiar feature; Where others knelt down and dust soiled their white soutanes, his was never dirtied nor soiled! Little urchins though we were, this peculiar sign we clearly observed for several years proved to us right from Onitsha till Enugu that unseen angels were guarding him.

    Again, he always came out completely UNHURT in all the vehicle accidents his reckless drivers got him involved in throughout his earthly life! What other miracles did we innocent teenagers need as proofs? Whether Rome or Vatican likes it or not, “me i no need nor want dem approval lie lie!”

    FOR ME; HE IS SAINT MICHAEL ENEJA, COME RAIN, COME SUNSHINE. I DO WRITE HIS NAME IN ALL MY DIARIES AND BOOKS & EVEN ON MY CELL PHONE SCREEN SAVERS IN BOLD CAPITALS thus; SAINT MICHAEL UGWUJA ENEJA, PRAY FOR ME!


    THIS ONE NEEDS NOT WAIT FOR VATICAN CITY APPROVAL. MANY LIKE ME ALREADY PRAY TO HIM AS OUR PERSONAL PATRON SAINT FOR HE WAS A LIVING SAINT FOR YEARS BEFORE HE SLEPT IN THE LORD....

  4. THIS IS THE FINAL NAIL ON THE COFFIN
    IS THERE SEGREGATION IN ROMAN CATHOLIC PURGATORY, HEAVEN AND HELL? IF THERE IS AND I AM FORCED TO BELIEVE SO FROM THE DISCRIMINATIONS IN CANONISATIONS SO FAR, THEN HEAVEN WILL BE FILLED WITH WHITES ESPECIALLY ITALIANS, THEN PURGATORY WILL HAVE MORE BLACKS THAN WHITES AND HELL WILL THE ENCLAVE FOR ALL BLACKS AND OTHER RACES.

    WHY HAS BLESSED CYPRIAN MICHAEL IWENE TABANSI WHO WAS DECLARED SO BY POPE JOHN II RIGHT HERE AT OBA IN FRONT OF HIS RELATIVES NOT BEEN ELEVATED TO SAINTHOOD WHEREAS THE SAME POPE WHO CAME TO NIGERIA AND ELEVATED HIM A DECADE BEFORE DIED IS STILL MARKING TIME AT THE "BLESSED" POSITION.

    APARTHEID IN VATICAN CITY IS NOW EVIDENT IN ADDITION TO HER INCORRIGIBLE SEXUAL ABUSES, FINANCIAL IRREGULARITIES, HOMOSEXUALITY, PAEDOPHILIA, E.T.C. H A B A

    IS VATICAN, A CITY OF DEMONS AND DESCENDANTS OF SATAN THROUGH HIS BIOLOGICAL SON CAIN? See CHAPTER 8 of the Gospel of John, verses 34 to 50, please read in GOOD NEW BIBLE EDITION to see the subtitle FREEMEN AND SLAVES
