Ewedu Is A Cure for Ebola – LUTH Consultant
A consultant at the Lagos University
Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Professor Adebukola Ositelu, has said Ewedu
‘Genus Corchorus’ which is known in English as the Long-Fruited vegetable, is capable of
preventing and curing the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) by boosting the
immune system.
Ositelu stated this at the annual African Traditional Medicine Day
organised by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and
Control (NAFDAC) on Thursday, at Ikeja, Lagos.
According to her, the vegetable had a high potency to boost the
immune system such that it’s usage would prevent an individual from
being infected with Ebola, or get rid of the virus in the case of an
infected person.
She, however, noted that chances of being cured by an intake of Ewedu
when a victim has gotten to the stage of vomiting was low, but could
still be administered.
Ositelu, who is a professor of Ophthalmology at the University of
Lagos, Akoka (UNILAG), said to administer the ‘treatment’, the Ewedu
should be rinsed thoroughly with liquid vinegar “blend and cook with
drinkable water, without adding salt or kaun (pottash)
or any other ingredients; then take a 25cl or half a tumbler measure
once a week, first thing in the morning before any meal” for prevention,
adding that those already infected should take it every morning for
seven to five days.
