One of Nigeria’s foremost phytomedicine researchers, Professor Benjamin Amodu says several breakthroughs have been recorded in the field of alternative medicine.

He made this bold claim while speaking with AljazirahNigeria Newspapers, in his laboratory in Abuja.

He asserted that with his about four decades of conducting several researches in this field, plus his many publications, he is aware of these breakthroughs.

“Having spent 38 years in this field of phytomedice research, and with about 39 publications in very high impact medical journals, we have recorded several breakthroughs in the field of alternative medicine,” he asserted.
The professor of phytomedicine from the Triune Biblical University, USA, then revealed areas where he has made innovations through his Halamin Herbals.

“For instance, we now resolve glaucoma and cataract without surgery. In the area of enlarged heart which takes a complicated open heart surgery to resolve clinically, we have resolved several cases without even seeing the patients, because when family members contact us and present the cases to us, we immediately give them our medication we have had cases where patients were to be sent to India for open heart surgery, but they commenced our medication while still awaiting their due dates, and the situation got resolved without any surgery because our drugs go into the arteries and arterioles to clean them up so that the heart is repaired and is returned to its normal size.

“Another one is diabetic ulcers on the leg which are resolved by amputation, but which we treat and the wounds heal, thereby eliminating the need for the patients to lose their limbs. We did one at the Garki General Hospital in Abuja here, where within six days, mam’s legs that was to be amputated got healed and the doctor were shocked. We talk about liver cancer with the Alpha-fetoprotein, AFP, going high. In the United Kingdom, UK, they say once it goes high, it never goes down, but when we give patients our medication, we see it being resolved. In the UK and other places, it could not normalise because they have cut part of the liver, thus making it impossible to be resolved.

“Then in issues of kidney where doctors where doctors say the kidney is totally bad, so patients should immediately begin dialysis and go for urgent transplant, we have been able to revive the kidneys, plus significant breakthroughs in various cancers. “For instance, a prostate cancer patient with 2,000 PSA has been resolved and brought down to 1.2 which means it has been cured. We have also been able to resolve breast cancers without surgery.”

Speaking further, he said: “Another area we have made significant breakthrough is hormonal imbalance which many health practitioners do not understand. You will find some women that their menses disappear, or they can even bleed for 30 days. We resolve all those things without the need for surgery; or is it goiter where you have a woman with an enlarged goiter who was booked for surgery, but which case we resolved without the need for her to go under the knife.

“Then issues of the lumbar, the spinal cord, L1, L2 which doctors insist patients must go through surgery, but we resolve such cases of spondylosis where the vertebrae and discs in the lower back, otherwise known as the lumbar spine, gradually deteriorate due to age and wear and tear, but which we resolve without any form of surgery and patients get completely healed with the pain,

stiffness and other symptoms vanishing for good.”
“So you can now see that we have been able to resolve several issues that modern medicine says it’s not possible, but which we have made possible without any complicated procedures,” he concluded.

Amodu has over the years continued to reveal the advantages of alternative medicine.

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.
