Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapy

With Malaria still wreaking havoc across this part of the world where I live and practice medicine – and I’m talking a mortality rate of about 1 million deaths per annum, mainly children – the management and preventive practices thereof, is certainly of importance to me and my colleagues where I work. This male patient had been treated on two seperate occassions but still had fever and the characteristic evening chills of Malaria. He had complied well with the ACT- Artemisinine-based combination therapy – medication given, taking the right dose at the appropriate time, so he had said. So why was he still symptomatic? Could it have been a misdiagnosis, I wondered. Well, I sent him to the laboratory for a full blood work-up.

The Year of The TRÉVOLUTION

Long time I've neglected this health-diary of mine, sorry people. Obviously, this is my first post this year, so... Happy New Year-of-the- TRÉVOLUTION! It's something new. Something I've bought whole-heartedly into and so I'm promoting it everywhere. It will make me wealthy, hopefully, through its compensation plan - I'll make no secret about that. Bought into it also to keep my family and I well armed to stay optimal in health from the point of view of it's supply to our body systems, of every known major nutritional metabolite - including herbs the world over, researched upon - all packaged in a bottled liquid, researched formulation. Sounds like some product promo, right? Well sure, I'm in it and so I'm promoting it. I believe in it professionally. Join the TRÉVOLUTION! ...oh, and, it's never too late to say it people - Happy New Year!
