THERE is a saviour that, brings hope for new life for people of Africa and Africa in Diaspora. From Johannesburg to Nairobi, from West Africa to West Indies, from New York to Los Angeles, from Chicago to Houston. Africans are looking for the saviour. That saviour is Moringa oleifera, the miracle tree of life.
Moringa oleifera is ‘Nebedaye’ which means “Never Die”. In many African languages, it promises relief from the devastating diseases and malfunctions that are so rampant in the African and African American communities such as: Diabetes and complications leading to kidney diseases. High blood pressure, stroke and heart diseases, obesity, tumour and cancer, lupus, arthritis and auto-immune diseases, prostate enlargement and prostate cancer, glaucoma-blindness, skin diseases, hepatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome.
Additionally, Moringa has been shown to bring relief from the ravages of HIV and AIDs, malnutrition and diseases caused by bad water, bad food and environmental toxins.
The seed of Moringa purifies water. The technology is currently being used for water purification in several major cities in Malawi, East Africa.
HIV and AIDs are of great concern on the continent of African and the Diaspora. If indeed the statistics are correct concerning the AIDs pandemic in Africa and among the African people in the Americas. If it is true that one in every 50 black men in Africa is HIV positive and one in every 150 women in America is HIV positive, there will be no black population in America in 100 years.
The Africans, the black race will be wiped off from the face of this earth. But this is not God’s plan, this is man’s plan and God, the benevolent one, always wins! In the final chapter of the Holy Bible, Revelation 22:1-2-3, there is a promise of this saviour and I quote, “And He showeth me a pure river of water of life in the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river was there a tree of life which bare twelve manners of fruits and yielded her fruits every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations and there shall be no more curse. Yes with this saviour, the miracle tree, Moringa oleifera, the curse of 500 years of slaving and colonialism on the African people will be lifted.
Weakened immunity, poor health, the basic cause, the etiology of HIV/AIDs, is the final curse, the one which was designed to be the straw to break the spine of black people forever.
The saviour appeared at the darkest hours of this pandemic, when almost all hope was lost, and when the problem overwhelmed the people.
The people who brought the knowledge of this saviour to the grassroots in America and to the health ministers of Africa is Dr. Anthony Kweku Andoh, ethno-botanist from Ghana, West Africa and his life-long partner, Ms. Kali Sichen, nutritionist, ethnographer and cultural foods expert. Dr. Andoh and Ms. Sichen research teach about medicinal plants at the North Scale Institute, an education research and healing centre just south of Atlanta, Georgia. These gardens and retreat are the home of Alemtena learning centre.
In 2009, Dr. Andoh took his knowledge back to Ghana to begin teaching about the healing plants of the West Africa forest and grassland. Students from the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and students from around the world are joining him to learn the secret and healing powers of Africa most precious resources.
The plant kingdom in this natural setting at the organic Moringa farmer and the global model forest for self sufficiency. Dr. Andoh shares his vast experience that any ailment of mind, body or spirit will be cured through the use of God’s natural gifts from plants world.
At the organic Moringa forms of global moded forest, Dr. Andoh brings the complexities of the science of botany down to the plain common language of the everyday person.
Research has shown that Moringa is geared towards solving the problem of malnutrition and poor health. The most important thing about the nutrient is that they should be from natural source. Then will our body absorb the nutrients. The vitamin and calcium supplements that we take are not fully absorbed by the body.
This is mainly because human body can identify what comes in and goes out. In other words, the human body will reap the benefits only when the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients are fed together with moringa, the miracle tree of life as leaf powder and its organic are absolutely safe.
Imagine a tree that can feed the cattle and make them to produce milk in double normal production. Though all the parts are edible and have their individual properties, the leaves are more prominent with excessive properties for all identifiable conditions and unequalled knowledge of God’s healing plants with the entire world.
Leaves of moringa can substitute for meat, soy beans products or dairy products as leaves have a complete complements of amino acid, the complete protein that is needed in human nutrition for good health.
MEDICINAL VALUE OF MORINGA LEAVES: It relieves headache, expels worms, relieves swelling, heals skin diseases, inflammation of the eye and ear, bronchitis and inflammation of mucus membranes, scurvy and increase milk production in lactating women.
FLOWERS: Moringa flowers are good tonic, expel worm, treats tumour and enlarge spleen, relieves sore throat, and treat anxiety.
POD AND SEEDS: the pod and seeds from moringa purify water, treat tooth ache from decay, expel worms, treat problems of the liver and spleen and relieve joint pain.
ROOTS: Moringa roots are used as laxative and to treat spasm of the colon, treat circulation problems, high blood pressure, kidney dysfunction and low background pain for gout, asthma and high cough.
Fresh leaves are inserted into the nose of a comatose person who is then aroused from the coma in laboratory tests, the leaf extract of moringa (Nebedaye) lower blood sugar within three hours, heals stomach ulcers, it is a powerful muscles relaxant, reducing blood pressure and causing sleep. Also in laboratory test, juice extract from moringa leaves and bark have shown anti-bacteria and anti-viral properties and show strong activity against the tuberculosis bacteria.
Ounce per ounce leaves of Moringa oleifera contains more vitamins A than carrots for good eyesight and to prevent blindness. Also contain a high quality vitamin A-beta carotene. More calcium than milk for strong bones and teeth. More iron than spinach for healthy blood cells. Contain the full balanced complement of vitamins as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin for brain, muscle and neurological development.
Fresh Moringa leaves and pod contain high level of vitamin c, ascorbic acid, which makes it excellent for preventing scurvy.
Leaf powder is an excellent source of vitamin E, tocopherol acetate for DNA and sexual development. All these statistics look good in scientific papers and research reports, but on the ground in real life in Senegal.
You can see Moringa, the miracle tree of hope, doing the real work of saving lives. Dr. Andoh is a British educated ethnobotanist and a fellow of the Linean society of London. He is the author of many books about plants used for medicines and purposes. He and his partner, Ms. Sichen have traveled throughout the world, lecturing at colleges and universities and to civic organizations. Their message is always about healing power of our mother nature and through our trust in God’s natural wisdom and gifts given freely to all humanity.
