Liver Cancer, Kidney Issues On The Rise In Nigeria – Prof Amodu Reveals
By Dauda Isamail
As Nigerians continue to find ways to adjust to current realities, furmost photo medicine researcher in the country, and Professor of phyto medicine from the Triune Biblical University, USA, Professor Ben Amodu, has warned that liver cancer and chronic kidney disease, including kidney failure is disturbingly on the rise.
Speaking to AljazirahNigeria Newspapers in Abuja yesterday, Prof Amodu said: “Currently liver cancer appears to be on the rise. In the last one week alone, I’ve gotten over seven patients who have come to treat liver cancer. Meanwhile I don’t think I treated more than one case of liver cancer in the last one year.
“So we need to ask ourselves why it is becoming an everyday affair now, not just liver but kidney issues too like Chronic Kidney Disease, CKD and even kidney failure.”
He said authorities in the health sector should not take this alarming rise passively.
“That is what officials in the health sector and in the Federal Ministry of Health as well as the Nigerian Center for Disease Control, NSCDC, as well as other relevant agencies in the health sector should do.
I say this because virtually all my patients have all been to the hospitals for treatment. It is when they seem not to be getting better that they rush down to us here,” he said.
He then expressed surprise that after the Nigerian government had recognised his research into cancer cure over a decade ago, it seems to have forgotten about him and the same research they once recognised after the research was concluded on a most favourable note.
“lMeanwhile this is the same government that asked me to go to Cuba since I was researching into a cure for cancer to see if I could incorporate what they were doing into my cancer cure.
But when I concluded my research and came up with a very effective cure for breast, prostrate, bronchial, liver, abdominal and other forms of cancer, the same government seems to have turned a blind eye to my efforts, despite the fact that our work has gone viral and has gained recognition across the globe.
“But one thing I thank God for is that patients have continued to contact us and those we have successfully treated are not keeping quiet about it.
“Right now we have the needed solution for diabetes, High Blood Pressure, enlarged heart, issues with the eye like cateract, glaucoma etc, malaria, enlarged prostrate, diabetic ulcer, and many more.”
He then called on the ministry of health and all it’s agencies to take the increasing cases of liver cancer as well as kidney issues seriously.
“Let us look inward for solutions to the health issues disturbing our people so we can begin to attract medical tourism to Nigeria,” he concluded.
