RE: Plasmodial Resistance and the potential of herbal extracts in the treatment of malaria
Nothing less than twelve African countries have been reported to have recorded incidence of resistance of malarial parasites to ACT drugs, Nigeria inclusive. According to a particular report, 80 to 90% of patients with malaria in Nigeria have at least one mutated malarial parasite in their blood sample.
Drug resistance has been a threat to the global public health. ACT medicine does not treat my malaria when it comes. I have since opted to P-Alaxin (Quine) as prescribed by a doctor.
I am always in support of herbal treatments. Herbal specialists nowadays are dosage conscious. Some of them now work in collaboration with the medical professionals in some Nigerian communities.
Well written article @gentleshaid
Pathogens are evolving and treatment drugs don't only have to co-evolve with them but must be a step ahead always. Perhaps I should also try outs p-alaxin but that would after reading reviews about it. Herbal treatment seems to be getting all the green lights except that adequate dosages need to be worked out in order to avoid aiding pathogens evolution or destroying the kidney.
Let herbal specialists work on appropriate prescriptions, IF not, use of herbal concoctions is a timebomb on sensitive body organs especially the kidney...
In have always thought of this. Too much or too little dosage can have detrimental effects on the body system.
