Revelation Chapter 21-22: 1 &2 started that: ‘…I saw a new heaven and a new earth …then…I saw the Holy City New Jerusalem coming down…from God…the Great City…had a great high wall with 12 gates…three gates on the east, three gates on north, three gates on the south and three gates on the West…and the city was pure gold, like clear glass…And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass…there shall by no means enter anything that defies…In the middle of its street on either side of the river was the tree of life which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month, the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations.”
The above excerpt from the Christian Bible Shows the picture of a new clean city which descends from God in Heaven to the Earth. The new city, New Jerusalem on Earth has a clean sparkling river flowing at its center, at either side of the river are the trees of life which bears twelve manners of fruits, each month new fruit and the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the peoples.

In the above named article, Prof Oyelami stated that Clinical Botanical Medicine which deals with the use of herbs and related natural products have been medically proven to be the solution to myriads of diseases killing people especially children in Sub-Sahara Africa.

The tittle of this paper is “Clinical Botanical Medicine is the solution to AIDS in Sub-Sahara Africa. AIDS had been reported to be a disease killing majority of people in age range 15-39yrs especially women and their children.
AIDS is said to be caused by HIV. Prof I.F. Adewole the Nigerian Minister of Health, former Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, as the Provost of the College of Medicine, University of Ibadan in 2004, stated on BCOS Ibadan that HIV, said to cause AIDS, is a designer made virus (man-made virus); the designer who made HIV is the American Oncologist Dr. Bob Gallo. Bob Gallo himself stated that what we identified as HIV in Sub-Sahara African patients are Junks in the African Blood. From the above, AIDS is a curable disease.
To cure AIDS in Africa, we need to clear the Junks not only from the blood of the Africans but also from the environment at large. We need clean environment, we need to cultivate plants in our homes, estates and cities which can be used to promote health. The herbs provide us food and medicine.
With herbs “Our food is the medicine that our body needs” to quote Toyin Esther a friend on Facebook and Pioneer of PL Transform Limited in Nigeria.
