Malaria symptoms can become very much milder than the usual high fever especially with patients in highly endemic areas like here in Nigeria

Dr. Bibbi Oluranti

Dear Dr.,

I’m having severe cold with pain all over my body, particularly the waist, hip bone, knees, sternum, including my ribs. At times, it’s in my lungs. In addition, I have a sour taste in my mouth with headache from the back and eye aches, I sweat a lot, especially when I sleep, waking up with the whole bed drenched, as well as my pajamas. My appetite could be better.

I am 63 years of age. I’ve just recently treated malaria with the recommended Lumefantrine Artemeter combination. I do not have an idea why I am so unwell. I am miserable and don’t know what to do. Please help me

Dear Shamsideen,

The commonest cause of your symptoms in this clime is half-treated malaria. I use Piperaquine or Amodiaquine and Artemisinine to treat malaria instead of the combination you mentioned, which
I have discovered is associated with plenty of cases like yours where malaria gets only half-treated and thus returns within a fortnight or so. I think you have Chronic Malaria with some amount of Enteric Fever (salmonellosis) into the bargain.

You could also have some amount of Elderly Pneumonia. Malaria’s symptoms can become very much milder than the usual high fever especially with patients in highly endemic areas like here in Nigeria, especially with the older generation who have had a long time since birth to develop their immunity. The body pains, especially pains in the joints also can make the caregiver think of arthritis.

A safe rule is to treat every arthritis sufferer first for malaria and to check them all over to rule out elderly pneumonia whose presentation, also, can be much milder than classical. You should see a good doctor who would order tests like the Widal test for you to confirm or deny the suspicion of salmonellosis or typhoid and get treated with the relevant antibiotics. There are also wonderful natural cures and remedies for both typhoid and malaria (together), which you can use and both your malaria and typhoid will disappear. Just call the help-lines.

Grave mistake; take action now!

Dear Fola,

For some reasons, at times some folks call or contact us about matters like sexual dysfunction, STD, infertility, itching genitals and such like and then fail to consummate the opportunity they have to get cured and restored to full health.

Whatever the reason to fail to consummate, not continuing is a grave mistake. From our long and varied experience of these challenges, I want to say loud and clear: These conditions do not leave of their own volition!!! Arthritis, Staphylococcus, Vaginal Discharge, Sexual Inadequacy, Hypertension, Diabetes, Infertility, Itching Genitals, Masturbation, HIV/AIDS, Herpes and other STDs, Chronic Prostatitis, Homosexuality, Moving Object; PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease)…. These are real and not imaginary health problems where we have core expertise and can help you and have helped others get relief and cure. The advice we have for you and for myriad others who have contacted us and have changed their minds about getting treated is this. Barring a major miracle, these conditions do not just leave or go away of their own volition. You got to force them out. We are satisfied that we help folks do this. So, Sir, oh yes we are still at the same place and you can call the helplines. Suffer no more. Go for help that is available.

Who shall I marry –Lover boy or moneybags?

Dear doc,

I like the ways you have been answering and making suggestions. I have these men in my life. One is hard working and the other is rich. But the first one loves me very much and the other, I’m not too sure.

I really want you to give steps to meet the right man. I want to get married this year.

Dear JGFUSDFU,

The answer is simple: which one do you love? Questions of this nature have a very real and decided bearing on our general well being and state of health now and in our futures. An unhappy marriage is a veritable recipe and brewing ground for ill-health. So, let’s get back to your question. Which one do you love?

There are only three answers possible. a) You love Harry Hard-Worker. b) You love Rikky Rich-man. c) You do not really know which one to marry, as in, you are confused. I would agree with you that the answer is C. Now then, since you do not know, listen. The right man is always the loverman; not the loaded man – unless the loaded man is also the lover. Read your letter again. You have your right man. The one you know, say and are sure loves you. Simply go ahead and marry him; okay?

Never marry for money but for love. Why? Love is God; God is love and Love (God) owns all things. So, the money will come; but happiness will live with both of you from the very beginning; Joy (inner) will serve you and peace will forever garrison you. But with no love and only money between you, there will be problems. Remember, by your own assessment and confession – you are
not sure he loves you; you are never at peace; there is no joy and you can never be happy. He might just decide that you are his next ritual victim to make more money (Don’t mind me). But that’s it; okay? Money is not love; it’s just dumb old, impotent money; okay?
