There’s No Need For Surgery To Reverse Enlarged Heart, Don Says
While it usually takes an open heart surgery to reverse heart enlargement, Professor Ben Amodu has said it really does not need surgery to reverse any enlarged heart.
He made this revelation on Friday while speaking to Journalist’s on the advantages of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, TCAM, over modern medicine.
Speaking while conducting a tour of his African Alternative Medicine Hospital at Zone 6, Wise, Abuja, he said one outstanding comparative advantage of traditional medicine over complementary medicine is the absence of side effects with TCAM
He said: “Our own medications at Halamin Herbals and African Alternative Medicine Hospital, do not have any side effect whatsoever.
“It is currently estimated that globally, cardiovascular disease alone kills an average of 17.9 million people annually, and High Blood
Pressure, HBP, is one major issue that contributes to this.
“But all the synthetic medicines in use have various side effects, including medications for HBP. For instance, two major side effects blood pressure medicines causes is first, erectile dysfunction which makes men who are on it to be unable to properly meet with their partners. And secondly, it causes generalised body weakness that reduces their productivity and their capacity to do any form of work.
“But with the natural medicine, it alleviates all issues relating to general weakness of the body and clears it within the treatment period.”
He then explained further making a surprising revelation: “Also, synthetic medicines cannot treat hypertension or HBP properly because there’s a heart related issue where the hearts of suffers are enlarged to various levels – some slightly, others very pronounced.
But the good news here is that our products have the capacity to reverse the enlarged hearts back to normal.
“All the various veins, arteries and capillaries that cause the enlargement can be cleared of their impurities which affects the heart’s capacity to function well, but in the modern medicine, if you want to treat an enlarged heart, you have to carry out a complicated open heart surgery where you cut it open and clean it up for a person who most times is over 60 or 70 years old making very many of them to die on the operation table.”
He then emphasised that with his medication, the patients do not need to go under the knife because the medicines themselves will go in there and do the cleaning, thereby making it by far much safer and effective.

APC Youth Leader, Health Minister, Others Champion “Going Pink Walk” for Breast Cancer Awareness in Abuja
Joel Ajayi
It was a vibrant gathering of energetic young men and women across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Saturday in Abuja, as they joined the “Progress in Pink Walk”, a non-competitive awareness march organized by the All-Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Wing to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The event, themed “Walk for Hope, Walk for Life,” was commenced at The Nest — A Place Where Greatness is Hatched, an over 4 kilometres walk aimed at encouraging early detection, promoting timely medical intervention, and offering hope to those affected by breast cancer.
Leading the walk was the APC National Youth Leader, Dr. Dayo Israel, who has remained consistent in championing initiatives that promote youth empowerment, health consciousness, and community impact.
Over the years, Israel has spearheaded several programs designed to enhance the capacity and wellbeing of young Nigerians.
Globally, October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month — a period dedicated to increasing awareness, encouraging prevention, and supporting those battling the disease. The APC Youth Wing’s initiative aligns with this global campaign, demonstrating the party’s ongoing commitment to public health advocacy and youth-driven change.
Speaking after the walk, an elated Dr. Dayo Israel explained that the initiative was organized to create awareness among women, both young and old, on the importance of knowing their bodies and seeking medical attention early.
“We want women to know their breasts so well that if anything unusual happens, they act quickly.
“Cancer doesn’t occur overnight it develops over time. awareness, and early detection are key to saving lives,” he said.
He added that the walk also sought to promote fitness as a vital component of a healthy lifestyle and to encourage women to adopt positive habits that support their wellbeing and happiness.
In his remarks, the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako commended the APC Youth Wing for taking proactive steps to raise awareness about a critical health concern.
“With this step you have taken today, more Nigerians will become aware of the dangers of late detection.
“Unfortunately, eight to nine out of ten breast cancer cases in Nigeria are detected late — a situation we must change through constant awareness and screening,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of prevention, urging Nigerians to take their health seriously through regular check-ups, healthy living, and avoidance of risk factors like smoking.
Also speaking, the President and CEO of the Nigerian Cancer Society, Prof. Abidemi Omonisi, noted that breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in Nigeria, accounting for up to 40–50% of all cancer cases.
“Breast cancer remains a major public health challenge. Exercise plays a vital role not only in prevention but also in improving outcomes for people living with cancer and other non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension,” he said.
Prof. Omonisi stressed the need for a community-based response to cancer similar to the national efforts used to combat HIV/AIDS.
“We must involve everyone from schools and youth groups to community organizations to build resilience and eliminate the fear and stigma surrounding cancer,” he added.
He praised the APC Youth Wing for leading the charge, noting that young people, with their creativity and innovation, are uniquely positioned to drive impactful awareness campaigns both online and offline.
The “Progress in Pink Walk” concluded with participants pledging to continue spreading the message of early detection, regular screening, and healthy living underscoring that together, Nigerians can defeat breast cancer through awareness, unity, and action.
