I think people should stop giving advice or recommending stuff about a topic which they know nothing about

Anyone seeking medical advice here will soon wish he hadn't.

This statement is not correct Bwana Kusadikika. These folks will be so dead before you even finish that word "hoax" if ignored!

I find it sad that one should find himself in such a position.

Perhaps an anecdote will explain it better. One day my father, showed me the results of a checkup he'd taken. I couldn't understand it. So he explained it slowly. Then finished by saying that he was glad that he had no HIV, but his blood pressure wasn't ok.

I went to my room to give it a thought and I reasoned like @Kusadikika. Months later I was given news of a stroke, and subsequent paralysis.

Then began the quest for authority. We ended up visiting some Professor who was also suffering from the same condition. The Prof. was writing some book. He also borrowed one from me. But to my poor father he gave Cozepam, or some 'am'. Something that left him shitting on himself.

So everyone that could heal was summoned, in a halting fashion as philosophy crumbled along the way. Lol. The Adventists, Legio Maria, African Divine, everyone. The taps opened when one day my father declared that the only he cared about was to be cured.

He'd rise early in the morning and call out to God to save him from his misery. Now he only wanted to die.

In all this I felt that something was amiss. Why is good health so elusive?

Now I see that our approach to healing, and consequently, disease is wanting. Healing is purely a matter of philosophy, and it's a decadent philosophy that has no cure for most, if not all disease.

Or a philosophy that leaves the human all the worse.

The Hippocratic oath is about goodness to Man, and is in essence, syncretism, and individual enlightenment. So as @Kusadikika is saying, everyone is to be his own doctor.

Bro @Kusadikika, you are angry. Maybe from something that happened in a health institution or that a medical personnel did or did not do. Knowingly or otherwise.

Breath in. Breath out.

The advice you are giving @Wanjy (10 year diabetic on insulin, 3 year hypertensive on antihypertensives) is not suitable. And you know it.

Stop.
