Atrado Medical Practitioner in Rivers State, Dr Ebube Solomon has described as false, beliefs in some quarters that natural medicine is fetish
Dr Solomon who is the Director Millers colon and body detoxification centre Port Harcourt told The Tide in an interview that there is nothing fetish about natural medicine.
He also denied that there is a relationship between natural medicines as native doctors.
According to him, those harbouring such belief are ignorant of the fact that alternative medicine is now recognised across the world.
Dr Solomon also said alternative medicine is not in competition with orthodox medicine as both complement each other in healthcare delivery.
“Orthodox medicine plays its own role and alternative medicine has its own system”.
He however said alternative medicine as becoming more popular in Africa “because it is our heritage from our parents”
Solomon also said more than 80 percent of Nigerians are looking at alternative medicine because of the failure of orthodox medicine to address their health needs so far, a policy that will recognise the practice of alternative medicine in the country, adding that the policy should be backed up with massive investment in the building of alternative medical centres across the country.
According to him, the services of herbalists are now needed more than before.
“In every medical centre, there should be herbalists to massage people”.
Solomon said he was among these who designed the first alternative medicine hospital in manila the phillipine in 1999, stressing that most countries in the world are now recognizing the importance of alternative medicine.
