Ardar:


This your post is centered on how traditional medicine is bad and modern medicine is good but you've still not told us the cure for such ailment using modern medicine.
As I explained some years back the 'cure' is based on the diagnosis. If it's malnutrition then consult your doctor on what best to feed the child, if it's a heart defect, then surgery might be required and so on. Bottom line is find out the cause of the ailment by taking your kid to a specialist

It happened to my child when he was Small...we wasted money running to and fro hospitals,we were only giving creams and drugs that didn't work . My former neighbor had to help me order for the treatment from Benin and it was waybilled to us .

We started giving him to drink then rub on his body after bath and he was popping a very slimy greenish poop for about 4 days then it stopped .

The colored patches on his son dried up undecided undecided undecided.
Y'all don't do oversabi when a life is at stake.

The orthodox and the herbal /traditional healers never agree on this issue

From some testimonies lots of times these children are moved from the hospital after treatment without improvment to the the agbo woman and they give them something to bathe with and the baby gets okay, starts sucking and looking healthy.

It might not sound proper but if it works why the fuss. Parents will not sit and watch life sucked out of their precious baby

Its one of those issues both sides will never agree on.

NRA (Igbo) is infant dermatitis
Nkuwa isi is sunken fontanelle
Ume AFO is spleen
Nnta hasn't gotten an English name yet.

My son suffered the first and I have seen the last with a baby. After leaves were rubbed on the baby's body,whitish things were wriggling out of the body,I was aghast! And yes the next time I saw the baby,there was a magnificent transformaation.
I heard of a baby that was brought from the US to the east for treatment.

If our govt invests in the sector ,a lot of discoveries and strides will be made.

How is your daughter now? How long did the treatment last, seems my daughter is having such

olymurphy:
Nnta is killer disease and I don't think that it has an english name. Even if he takes the baby to the hospital she will only be diagnosed with infection.
I refused to believe that my little angel was suffering from nnta and I was taking her from one paediatrician to another nut until my SIL came and we took her to a traditionalist and she became well again
These are the symptoms of Nnta
1 The baby doesn't develop like her mates.
2 the baby looks malnourished and has sunken eyes no matter how well she feeds.
3 they usually have ntiwa isi(open skull) and umeafo(spleen)
4 when Nnta medicine is rubbed on them a whitish hairlike thread comes out of their body, that's the virus that sucks their blood
5 they are always restless and refuses sleep mostly at night no matter how well you feed them
6 in some cases they usually suffer from constant headache and fever.
7 in severe cases it leads to a little bit of mental disorder or death.
I wrote all this from what I experienced when my daughter was suffering from Nnta except no 7. @ op hope this answers your question.
