It will not make a promise on this drug can be used to treat coughs you handle area anyone who drinks it can also be cured of headaches in the. Head because were out on a walk or that remedy is not yet approved for use but jima has been producing it while awaiting approval from god as food and Drugs Authority herbal treatments are not uncommon in ghana at this Health Facility in actually malta only patients are treated only with herbal remedies. Its owner also says his drugs can treat called the 19. When you see the people. I die thats where we dont fear and worry and that is who i. Have known who for im happy that youve come out with the medication that i have to who are i mean to to be able to fight this corporate mind down as food and Drugs Authority says 33 herbalists have submitted remedies for college 19 for drug approval none of them has been approved for use. A lot of good conditions are around before i see no hope of since none of them is backed by Scientific Evidence and do you require absolute sound Scientific Evidence to be able to register to be any put michael put the gun as medical association also advises against the remedies but markets herbal medicines are being touted as a means of preventing and fighting called good 19 and much to the delight of herbalists many continue to believe that they work and that is keeping people like someone a johnny jima busy. Neighbor get any heads up their discipline of Traditional Medicine at the university of was in job in south africa and is one of the leading experts in his field how much faith do you personally put in Traditional Medicine just in general a lot because off its history. Its stand it has stood that test all times of a manager of medications. What do you think though about this herbal remedy for madagascar is it going to stand the test of time. Im very positive and yet i still am keen that there is proper science that is undertaken to really number of questions look this is new order to our stories not although you learn good weve tried to cian but you still need to make sure that you do the best science that you can do ok so we should look to science on this one but in the meantime what about all the people who are taking this i mean could it do more harm than good. From oh not only this is not a plant that is toxic. They did talents with your money t. That under these conditions you dont know whether people will or what dose themselves are off and. But under normal circumstances its not a plant that is known to have any toxicity to humans but it could give people a false sense of security couldnt it. Clearly because we dont have evidence is just what people are relying on traditional knowledge that this thing has been used in many years ago to fight colds and and and flus thats just the only thing and i can say that but what if people take it they should still make sure their social distancing for example that they still take precautions and dont let down they got. No definite look better 2 things here the fairest is that even if you dont take any of this product your mentation the normal in all day ways to prevent yourself from contracting the virus as well as you will spreading the virus cause its both ways so that is important and handwashing and all the preventative measures that we know its a false thing to assume that stays a chore. And then it might people may take in or they might go off and secondly this that tried to snow melts in under normal circumstances if they should be prescribed by your type just not here who looks after your even if you have side effects or other things that they must be looking after you so. Its not something that you just you know. Prescribe for yourself sure and also just a minister to yourself with no one supervising what you are doing even your medical doctor what that means tell me also medicine all plants not only use in africa also widespread across asia in thailand for example they used in modern hospitals a western scientists looking for a cure in the wrong places. No there are many from my to it karl drugs in the market to day that emanate from medicine or plants. Thats thats they did not look where the difference is that what theyre from my tooth cull industry is helpful is that you preserve the the environment you dont have to chop many plants. And you dont have to destroy much of nature there because you synthesize this chemically once you identify what is their active include the end and then manufacture it and you can do it in bulk and ship it to many places however these p. R. Compounds tend to have side effects much more side effects than just the not the normal plants and so you know theres other things you buy lands in the work that we do they very near will have to leave it there one of the leading experts in the field of traditional african medicines thank you very much thank you. Now to our science correspondent Eric Williams with your questions. Im recovering and having trouble shaking the fever how long are we contagious. There have been several studies on this and they came to somewhat different conclusions according to the centers for Disease Control in the us viral r. N. A. Can sometimes still be detected in patients for weeks after theyve come down with cove at 19 but that doesnt mean that you remain and factious for that law for Health Care Personnel returning to work c. D. C. Recommendations say at least 10 days have to go by after symptoms 1st appear and of those the person has to have been fever free for at least the final 3 days of those 10 days without any help from from fever reducing medications and there are other symptoms have to have improved as well other sources recommend waiting at least 14 days after symptoms appear before leaving quarantine if covert 19 tests are available to can also be administered at least 24 hours apart and if both of them turned up negative then that person is generally considered to be noninfectious. Would injecting plasma from people who have already had covert 19 and to healthy older people keep them safe people who have had copd 19 develop antibodies against it and they end up in blood plasma which can be donated when injected into people who have an active infection the plasma might help them recover this type of therapy has been used for over 100 years to effectively treat a range of different Infectious Diseases and in the current pandemic thousands of patients have already received plasma transfusions from people who survived the disease. But could transfer. Used antibodies also have a prophylactic effect of a preventive effect if say someone from a High Risk Group like the elderly were exposed could plasma prevent them from getting the disease we dont know yet a long term study led by researchers from Johns Hopkins university is looking into the idea but but itll take a while to get the results its only slated to conclude at the end of 2022. What happens if you just rinse your hands well with fresh clean running water. Could you wash in the virus off your hands with water only. This question is actually a lot more complex than it appears at 1st glance and and to explain why the answer is no id have to give a long lecture on how soap works and talk about the chemistry of of of water known as surfactants since we dont have time for that suffice it to say that you can think of source code to as being sticky so water alone wont do the trick so basically makes any virus thats clinging to the skin on your hands or or caught in its folds soluble in water which has to happen for the virus to be washed away. I keep sending in your questions ive been fizzling ill see you again very soon here i think theyll be about. India. Using some of. The.
