What Your Doctor DOES NOT Want You To Know





Here are two important notes first:
a. If you are a doctor, you are probably not going to like this post very much.

b. This is not against the medical profession itself which saves millions of lives everyday, it is against the ignorance and arrogance the profession is engulfed in – that harms millions more.

Did you know that Doctors are one of the leading cause of death?

An article published in the Journal of The American Medical Association (one of the most respected in the industry) shows that in the US there are approximately:
* 12,000 deaths per year from unnecessary surgery
* 7,000 deaths each year from medication errors in hospitals
* 20,000 deaths caused from other errors in hospitals
* 80,000 deaths caused annually from infections in hospitals
* 106,000 deaths caused annually from adverse affects of medications

This adds up to a total of nearly a quarter of a million people that die each year due to IATROGENIC causes (i-at-ro-gen-ic adj.: induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures); third only to heart disease and cancer. (Of course the numbers will vary every year, but you get the idea.)

Four times as many people die in one year from doctors’ mistakes than died in the entire Vietnam War and more than TEN times the amount of American soldiers that have died in the Iraq war. These are just deaths in hospitalized patients and does not include disabilities and disorders received from IATROGENIC causes.
Studies released in the last 15 years show similar trends in the Australia, UK, Canada and New Zealand. Most other countries don’t even publish numbers like this to know the exact situation.

Now why this shocking situation prevails and how to avoid it is something I cannot go into right now because it will challenge the very foundation of our current medical science. It will require much more space and time than what is possible within the scope of this little blog post. But here is a little piece of good news that can potentially keep you away from the hospitals forever…

I just came across a book that contains a miraculous healing therapy so powerful that it’s constantly having to fight off powerful enterprises, cartels and agencies whose financial interests are threatened by it are keeping this info from reaching the general public. Now you know why this is something that you will probably not hear from your doctor very often.

It’s a simple therapy based on increasing oxygen levels in the blood and it has been scientifically proven to prevent virtually all known diseases – and even cure diseases from minor ones like the flu to “incurable” and life-threatening ones like cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer’s Disease!

Over 6000 scientific articles attest to the validity of this amazing yet simple therapeutic procedure so you know that this is not some quack theory! In fact, this is not even new! Its been around for hundreds of years now yet we rarely hear about it.

You can learn more about this therapy on the link below along with medically documented cases of cancer disappearing, late stage AIDS reversing, remarkable recovery from Emphysema and many more. Read every word on this page and go get the book if you value your health at all:

And if you are one of those few people who will say “I don’t need to know all this because I have a great health…” or “I really don’t have the time to read all this”… well good luck to you but do take the time to forward this email to your friends and loved ones so they may benefit from this. You never know whose life you will end up saving.

I wish you a healthy, drug free, doctor free, sunny day!

Key Into Govt 3-Point Agenda, Ochei Urges Deltans In Diaspora



LUCKY OYIBO
SPEAKER of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Victor Ochei has called on Deltans in the Diaspora to key into the three-point development agenda of the Uduaghan-led administration.
Ochei made the call while delivering a keynote address at the 2012 edition of the Biennial Anioma USA Convention in Dallas, United States of America.

The Speaker said that the development vision of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan would bring about the delivery of sustainable democracy dividends and engender prosperity in the state.

“The need to actualise the three-point agenda, especially the human capital development component, gave rise to the establishment of the Delta State Micro-Credit Programme, which has impacted positively on the society,” he stated.

Ochei urged Deltans to take advantage of abundant human and natural resources in the state to improve their lives and grow the state economy.

The Speaker equally used the occasion to clear the air on “some misperceptions about governance” in Delta. According to him, governance in the state is “premised on the core values of transparency, accountability and good faith negotiation”.

He therefore called on prospective investors to come home and invest in the economy of the state, noting that government “will offer all necessary support to ensure a friendly environment for business”.

Also at the occasion, Hon Peter Onwusanya (Oshimili South Constituency), explained to the gathering the on-going transformation in the education sector of the state.

He described the reform as a positive index in the government’s quest to provide qualitative education for the populace.

His words:  “The education sub-sector in the state is undergoing both infrastructural and administrative transformation.

Model primary schools of global reckoning will be built in the 25 local government areas of the state”.

On his part, Hon Godfrey Ofobruku (Uvwie Constituency) advised Deltans to expect a better future in the state, as the three tiers of government would work together for this purpose.

UNESCO: NIGERIAN CITY OF PORT HARCOURT NAMED 2014 WORLD BOOK CAPITAL





The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) today announced the selection of the Nigerian city of Port Harcourt as the 2014 World Book Capital.

“I extend my congratulations to the city of Port Harcourt for the quality of its proposed programme, which provides for extensive public participation and aims to develop reading for all,” said UNESCO’s Director-General, Irina Bokova, in a news release. “I wholeheartedly endorse the commitment of Port Harcourt to support literacy through the activities organized for the year.”

According to the agency, its selection committee chose Port Harcourt for the quality of the programme it presented. It focused on youth and the impact it will have on improving Nigeria’s culture of books, reading, writing and publishing to improve literacy rates.

The selection committee, which met last Thursday at UNESCO’s headquarters in Paris, brings together associations in the book industry – the International Publishers Association, the International Booksellers Federation and the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions – as well as representatives from the culture agency.

Each year, the committee bestows the title of World Book Capital to a city which has committed itself to promoting books and reading, and to highlight the vitality of literary creativity. The nomination does not imply any financial prize, but it is an exclusively symbolic acknowledgement of the best programme dedicated to books and reading, UNESCO said.

Port Harcourt is the 14th city to be designated World Book Capital following Madrid (2001), Alexandria (2002), New Delhi (2003), Antwerp (2004), Montreal (2005), Turin (2006), Bogotá (2007), Amsterdam (2008), Beirut (2009), Ljubljana (2010), Buenos Aires (2011), Yerevan (2012) and Bangkok (2013).

Uniting The Anioma Nation Through Soccer Promotion Is My Focus…….Odiatu







The game of soccer can be repackaged to both enhance and provide career/entrepreneurial opportunities for our Anioma youths, Soccer has a unifying capacity no other human Endeavour has, so to a very great extent, Soccer is one tool the Anioma Nation must exploit for the advancement of our Nation and quest for unity. Our Media crew spoke with an Anioma Soccer Promotion expert, whose believe and passion for Soccer development is just too strong to be diverted, read on….

        Q- Can we meet you, Sir ?
Ans- I am Bora Nnamdi Oditatu, the Coordinator of Bora Soccer Promotions.

Q- What is your dreamed work plan for the development of Soccer In Anioma Region?
Ans- with respect to Soccer and youth development in the Anioma Nation, I started my Soccer Development career as a coach, since 1992, I had sought various opportunities and collaboration with the public and private sectors with a view to mainstream Soccer amongst children and youth population, as a unifying factor for the Anioma Nation, about this same period, I graduated from the secondary school and registered a football club called, African Stars.

Q- do you anticipate any youth-led Soccer tournament soon for Anioma Youth?
Ans- oh yes, as am talking with you, plans are almost at an advance stage for the kick off of an Anioma youth soccer tournament, that will witness the active participation of football clubs from various Local Government Areas in the Anioma Nation.

Q- what is the schedule of this tournament?
Ans- by this week’s Saturday, the official opening ceremony is expected to commence at Asaba, with the planned focus to extend through mid August this year.

Q- what is the central theme around this Anioma youth tournament?
Ans- the soccer tournament is all about recalling a glorious sacrificial memory of some youth who paid a huge sacrifice for their love for the game of soccer, the tournament is tagged, A-PRO MEMORIAL CUP 2012, A-PRO was a football club established some fifteen years ago by the former director of sports, in the Delta State Ministry of youth and Sports development, Hon. Emma Okocha,  this team, some fifteen years ago travelled to Rivers State for a friendly match with the Sharks of Port Harcourt, unfortunately, the match was postponed and on their way back home to Asaba, the team was involved in an accident at nearby Ozubulu town, which claimed the lives of Seven players and the driver, still very remarkable though unfortunately, nothing has being done to the memory of these youth after the burial of these youth who lost their lives advancing the game of Soccer and promoting the image of the Anioma Nation.

Q- what then do you want to do to fill in the identified gap?
Ans- I thought it wise when I took notice of this gap to recall to the public’s mind the huge sacrifice these youths made with their lives for a game they love so much and use the opportunity to inquire into the status of the game of Soccer in the Anioma region.

Q- what opportunities do you foresee this tournament will avail Anioma Youth?
Ans- this tournament will create an ample opportunity for us to remember their contribution to the game of soccer and pray for the eternal rest of the souls of these Soccer heroes, especially, this year that their memorial enters its 15th year, with the opening ceremony kicking off on 7th of July, 2012 at Asaba. 
 
Q- what is the drive behind floating this tournament?
Ans- like I said earlier, I had being actively involved in Soccer since the past twenty years and I can authoritatively tell you that nothing is happening in the Anioma Nation with respect to sports promotion and especially the game of soccer, hence, the birth of this tournament.

Q-what over the years has being the challenges of football in the Anioma region?
Ans- thank you very much for this question, just as I said earlier that nothing is happening in Anioma with respect to the game of football, so goes with the individual footballers, what do we experience, it starts with the discovery of a football talented Anioma Youth, we watch him showcase skills, passion and determination for excellence, we most times believe they will excel to great Soccer career heights, all of a sudden due to zero support structure, they all too soon crash to nothingness and that becomes the end of their Soccer Career, I don’t know what is happening to our Anioma Youth Soccer development, on a second thought I came to the conclusion that the time is ripe to do something for the game I love so much, even Soccer, hence, this tournament.

Q-what is your overall assessment of Football Clubs in the Anioma Nation?
Ans- there are over 30 registered football clubs in the region, all most of them do is conduct training and routine exercises for the players, engage in one or two inter club friendly matches and participate in some minor Soccer events, no real big time soccer stuff has ever come their way, so with this tournament on board, there will be opportunities for soccer scouts from outside Anioma Nations to be involved in identifying, selecting the best talented soccer talents, enter into agreement with these youthful talented players, groom them and shape them into International Soccer Stars, such opportunities will empower our youths to rediscover boundless career and entrepreneurial opportunities in the game of Soccer avails as well as the community development opportunities that comes with Soccer Development.

Q- what is your message to the current government on Soccer development?
Ans- my message and suggestion to the government is this, though, I know that the public sector is over stretched with too many responsibilities and commitment, not withstanding, one of my concern is that we do not have functional sporting facilities in Anioma region, most school soccer pitches have been occupied with needless buildings, why can’t the pitches be left for the sports development of our youths, as well as for the recreation and enjoyment of our youth population, which will in turn boost their academic performance, effectively shape a positive personality skills, and improve leadership potentials latent in these youths. The government should create more recreation centers with sufficient sporting facilities, which will make youth empowerment policies of the government a more sustainable and pro-grassroot engagement.

Q-what ways do you think individuals and organized private sector can be involved?
Ans- for these class of actors in our society, I have a piece of suggestion for them, which is that, they should look out for active organizations and sports loving enthusiasts who they can partner with for the effective development and promotion of sports in the Anioma Nation.

Q-what cash and material benefit is tied to this tournament?
Ans- thank you very much for this question, there is a cash prize attached to this tournament for the first, second and third placed football team winners, N50,000; N30,000 and N20,000 will be handed to the first, second and third place winners respectively. Apart from cash reward, the organizers have planned to select from quarter final stages budding talented football stars, who will be registered for national and international sporting festivals and events, which will give them opportunity to meet with other soccer giants and soccer development opportunities. Apart from these, there are medals, trophies, golden booths awards and other recognition for well behaved players and teams. The overall essence of all these Soccer engagement is to encourage Soccer players and promote as both a life-line for career and entrepreneurial development opportunities for our Anioma Youth Population. 

        Q-what level of support do you so far anticipate from the public?
Ans- so far so good, though,  not all the supports sought for is forth coming, to some groups our tournament is new to, they are still investigating us, to those who believe in our capacities, we have being assured of their material and moral support, some Non-Government Organizations and Asaba based Age Grades have committed to contribute their quota, at last count, a sports loving NGO, Tobechukwu Okonkwo Foundation (TOF) has promised to register and kit a football club for the tournament, as well as, provide a cash donation for the First, Second and Third place winners of the tournament.
