90% ANTIBIOTICS dont fail because of wrong dose. They fail because you took them with the WRONG FOOD.

Here are 5 antibiotics that become less effective with wrong food:

1. CIPROFLOXACIN / LEVOFLOXACIN

Most of the time,

You will hear people say,

"I am eating fruits because they have natural sugar."

It is at this point that you realise we have been brainwashed so much by the crappy food industry and adulterated nutrition education.

There is nothing like "natural sugar" or "artificial sugar",

We only have natural and artificial SOURCES of sugar.

Sugar is just sugar.

There are two commonly known types of simple sugars,

• Glucose

• Fructose

• Galactose (this is a simple sugar too, but it is a lesson for another day.)

These simple sugars are biologically known as MONOSACCHARIDES.

Their molecular formula is C₆H₁₂O₆.

But the difference is in their structural arrangement. Glucose is a six-membered ring (aldohexose) that serves as the primary fuel, while fructose is a five-membered ring (ketohexose) found in fruit and metabolized only in the liver.

So, when the sugar comes from the fruit, the body doesn't say,

"Oh well, this is not an enemy, go slow on him,"

Or, if it comes from Sodas, Juices or Energy Drinks, the body doesn't say,

"Shit, man! Get the swords and the guns, the enemy has arrived."

NO.

The body deals with FRUCTOSE from fruits the same way it does with FRUCTOSE from sodas.

FRUCTOSE follows one pathway called THE FRUCTOKINASE PATHWAY in the liver.

The biggest problem with fructose, apart from being insanely sweet, is that, in the liver, it accumulates into fatty acids and triglycerides. This accumulation leads to:

• Insulin Resistance and Diabetes

• Oxidative stress

• Chronic Inflammation

• Elevated uric acid levels leading to GOUT

• Hypertension

Therefore, if you are focusing on recovering from a fatty liver, a fat stomach or losing weight, then avoid eating these fruits.

It is ridiculous when you see people carrying fruits to patients admitted in hospitals because of chronic ailments, and yet hospital nutritionists act dumb, and feign ignorance.

They even tell patients to eat fruit and drink juices like Ribena and Del Monte to "Regain Energy."

This is madness and functional illiteracy.

Unaweza kueleweka vizuri kwa kufanya kuliko kusema.
Ukampenda na akajua unampenda bila kumwambia unampenda.
Ukampenda na tukajua unampenda bila kutuambia.
Ukaonekana mzalendo bila kelele wala nguo za kizalendo.
Ukaonekana uko huru bila kuitwa ‘huru.’
Ukaonekana muadilifu bila kujiita mwadilifu.
Usomi wako ukaonekana bila kuutangaza.
Utu wako ukaonekana bila kauli mbiu.
Ucha Mungu wako ukaeleweka bila kujisemea.
Unaweza kumfanya mtu akaisema sifa yako bila wewe mwenyewe kuisema.

Ujumbe muhimu sana kwa wadau wa afya, serikali na wananchi (Usiishie njiani, elimu hii ina cost sio chini ya milioni 3, nakupa bure).

Matumla, J. (Clinical Scientist and Drug Development Expert based in France and Tanzania)

•Ndoto yangu: Tanzania yetu iwe miongoni mwa nchi za Afrika zinazoongoza katika kufanya Clinical Trials za dawa mpya za kisasa (uvumbuzi na uendelezaji wa dawa – R&D).

Research and Development (Tafiti) ya dawa mpya hufanyika hivi:
•Hatua za awali za utafiti wa dawa huanzia vyuoni na maabara ambapo tunafanya basic research (Basic reseaech – “bench”).
◦Baadae dawa hufanyiwa majaribio kwa wanyama (Non-clinical trials kwa kutumia animal models).
•Kufanikisha hili la vyuoni, serikali inapaswa kuwekeza fedha nyingi kuimarisha maabara za utafiti katika vyuo kama MUHAS, UDOM na kuongeza ushirikiano wa taasisi kama NIMR na vyuo.
•Kuwafumbua macho, makampuni makubwa ya dawa duniani hufuatilia maabara zinazotafiti dawa mpya zilizo promising (Big Pharma always wapo macho)
◦Yakiona uwezekano, huingia ushirikiano (partnerships) na kuwekeza ili dawa waliyoiona chuo flani na ipo kwenye hatua ya utafiti iweze kuingia hatua ya Clinical development ambayo wataisimamia. Clinical Development inahusisha utafiti wa dawa kwa binadamu. Hii stage inatumia mabilioni ya fedha na ina risks kubwa ya kufeli (Dawa 1 kati ya 10 ndio hufaulu)
•Kiwanda cha dawa huanzisha hatua za clinical development:
◦Phase 1: majaribio kwa binadamu huanza.
◦Dawa hupitia Phase 1–3; ikifaulu, Regulatory Bodies huiidhinisha.
•Ikipitishwa, dawa huingia sokoni ikiwa patented na kampuni hupata haki maalum za mauzo (exclusive rights)kwa takriban miaka 15 ili kurudisha gharama za uwekezaji.
◦Hii ndiyo sababu dawa original huwa ghali.
•Tanzania mara nyingi hutumia copies (generic drugs) kwa sababu uwezo wetu wa kifedha wa kuagiza dawa mpya za uvumbuzi bado ni mdogo.

Ndoto yangu ni kuona tunakua kitovu cha Clinical Development, sisi wenyewe na kwa kushirikiana na viwanda vikubwa.

Taphiti consultancy tumeanza huu mchakato, kuanzia TRAINING ya Medical Professionals mpaka Students wanaotaka kupata skills kwenye CLINICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

Karibuni sana.

Kuna yule ‘rafiki’ yako wa mijadala ya kijiweni. Uko naye kila siku kwenye uchambuzi wa michezo. Kasikia unauguza mtu wako wa karibu kabisa, mgonjwa anafariki na mnamzika humsikii akisema lolote.

Unafikiri labda hana maneno ya kutosha kukufariji. Unaamua kumuelewa. Hatimaye, baada ya muda mnakutana kijiweni. Jamaa ni kama hakusikia lolote. Kwa mazungumzo yake, maisha yanaendelea kama kawaida.
“Safari hii hawatoboi. Nakuhakikishia kwa usajili tulioufanya kombe mlisikie tu.”

Unashangaa. Hivi huyu ndugu yangu wa karibu kabisa hakusikia nimefiwa huyu? Unaona umrudishe mlikoishia.
Kinyonge kabisa, “Kaka yule mgonjwa wangu alifariki.”
“Kumbe mlishindwa kumpeleka India? Hizi hospitali zetu bado sana. Poleni sana kwa changamoto. Juzi nilikuwa Marekani. Jamaa wako mbali sana. Halafu sikukuambia. Ile tenda nilipata.”

Utu si maneno. Utu ni pamoja na kujali ustawi wa mwenzako. Kukwepa maumivu ya wenzako si hekima ni kasoro.

A woman once met me in church and I told her she has been taking Omeprazole incorrectly, and went ahead to correct her.

She has gotten relief more than ever.

Many of you have been treating ulcer blindly without paying attention to how to take some of your medications.
