Ndey: Let us hope that someone else will come to the rescue. We will be disappointing ourselves thinking that the Gambia AIDS Commission will say a thing. Haven't we all heard and read about the accolades Jammeh received from the so-called Drs. They were sounding like the man is a Jesus come again. The sad thing is that our names and the name of our nation is being dragged into mud and these guys care less. I just don't know if they know anything about ethics in their proffessions.

His treatment of asthma patients will start on >>Saturday. Below, we reproduce the full text of the Gambian leader’s >>statement on the cure of the two diseases, delivered at State House at a >>ceremony attended by the Vice-President, Secretaries of States and many >>dignitaries. >> >>“I call you to this meeting and maybe you will wonder why I called you >>including the two Ambassadors from Cuba and Taiwan. I called the two >>Ambassadors and of course Rose Clair Charles because you have a direct >>link with the health delivery system of this country. You know that Cuba >>is a key partner in our health sector and Taiwan is the force behind the >>Medical Team in The Gambia. This is a follow up to what I said on GRTS >>that I will now fully participate in the treatment of certain critical >>cases. >> >>Since 1994, there are many Gambians who know what I can do. A lot of >>people have been treated in silence or under conditions of strict >>confidentiality .One would wonder why I start giving medicine to the >>public and all of a sudden stop. I have been having a lot of queries about >>that even after we went to the RVTH on Saturday. People were saying, >>“Well, the President. This is what he does. He will introduce very >>effective medicines and all of a sudden it will die down and we will not >>have access to him.” >> >>I had to work on instructions. I don’t have the mandate to do it publicly >>in great numbers. I was only restricted to a small number so as to be able >>to prove to people that what I say is what I can do before I have the >>permission to do it publicly. >> >>I am not speculating on my medicine. There are living witnesses to what my >>medicine can do. As far as I am concerned it takes only five minutes to >>cure asthma. I have other medicinal herbs that can take care of a number >>of illnesses. One of it was the one that was sold publicly at the July 22 >>Square and the Serrekunda Police Station. But of course, it has to stop at >>a point because I don’t have the mandate to go beyond that. >>I now have the mandate to cure people publicly under strict conditions >>that I have to abide by otherwise I pay the price. >> >>Now I have the mandate to publicly treat all the diseases on condition >>that the patient will be treated publicly. In fact, the first and the most >>important condition is that the person must be diagnosed by a medical >>practitioner or a medical institution. I am not authorised to treat >>anybody who just feels sick without a doctor’s confirmation. I can treat >>asthma and HIV/Aids and the cure is a day’s treatment. Within three days >>the person should be tested again and I can tell you that he/she will be >>negative. After the treatment, they have to go to the RVTH for a test >>again. As I said, I will not treat anybody who is not diagnosed as >>asthmatic or a HIV/Aids patient by a doctor. I don’t want to give my >>medicine to a wrong person.” So the reason why I called you is that I have >>to work with a team of doctors that I can trust. Doctors who will not >>sabotage my treatment. That does not in anyway mean that I will give them >>the medicine. These doctors would make sure that the patients abide by the >>instructions. If I give you the medicine with instructions on how to go >>about it and you go and do something contrary to that and you turn out to >>be positive ,don’t blame me. I will not give you names but it is true. It >>is not a treatment that I speculate on. I am not doing it for money or >>popularity. The mandate I have is that HIV/Aids cases can be treated on >>Thursdays. That is the good news and the bad news is that I cannot treat >>more than ten patients every Thursday. There is nothing I can do about it >>and if I go beyond that I will have to pay the price. >> >>For asthma, I have to choose between Saturday and Friday. I am also not >>authorised to treat more than 100 people. I am also not authorised to >>treat anybody who does not produce a diagnostic paper of asthma or >>HIV/Aids. One will asked what the Cuban and Taiwanese ambassadors are >>doing here. The aim is to share the treatment with them because in Taiwan >>traditional medicine are used. The asthma medicine can be mass produced >>and packaged and exported to them. The one on HIV/Aids cannot be mass >>produced because I am restricted to ten patients only on every Thursday >>and I cannot go beyond that. I want to have a team of three doctors for >>asthma and HIV/Aids. I want you to select ten HIV/Aids patients: five >>males and five females for Thursday. >> >>The conditions should be explained to them before they come because if any >>of them backs out, you cannot replace the one that has backed out. They >>can eat before coming but they should not eat anything that is oily. The >>medicine will be given to them in the morning as a preliminary and after, >>they can eat and in the evening they take it again. Once that is done, >>they cannot eat anything else the following morning. They may be hungry >>and thirsty but they have to bear it and that is why they need a doctor to >>monitor them. Once they have taken the medicine, they should not eat >>anything no matter what happens till the following day. >> >>Now with regards to asthma treatment, that is the easiest part. When they >>are coming for treatment in the morning, they should not eat anything that >>has pepper or seafood when they take the medicine, for four hours they >>should not eat anything. After that they can eat anything except something >>that contains oil or seafood. We want to see how we can work with the RVTH >>to see where these people can be kept until the following morning.With >>regards to asthma treatment, there is no need to keep them. They can go >>for six months, without taking anything that is alcoholic. With regards to >>HIV/Aids, they should be kept at a place that has adequate toilets >>facilities because they can be going to toilet every five minutes. >>Anybody who says he will not be treated publicly should stay away because >>I have to fulfill the conditions and I will not take risks for anybody. >> >>I am not a witch doctor and in fact you cannot have a witch doctor. You >>are either a witch or a doctor. >> >>¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ >>To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L >>Web interface >>at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html >> >>To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: >>http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l >>To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: >>[log in to unmask] >>¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ > >_________________________________________________________________ >MSN Hotmail is evolving – check out the new Windows Live Mail >http://ideas.live.com > >¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ >To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L >Web interface >at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html > >To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: >http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l >To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: >[log in to unmask] >¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ _________________________________________________________________ Get live scores and news about your team: Add the Live.com Football Page http://www.live.com/?addtemplate=football ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
