Sea. Entire stretches of land will be abandoned. And the water system is. Massive waters are supposed to prevent flooding but they only delay the inevitable. Future 66 meters rising sea levels starts june 5th on g. W. The madagascan miracle drink and anti coronavirus tea made from the plant at a museum on a work. The madagascan president says it works. Both good im convinced that history will prove us right. To People Living cured hard all the way to see what it can do next you. Know beyond it less. Greedy and to the drink is medically proven to be effective against malaria now its being distributed for free on the island against coke at 19 and shipped on boca to other african countries. Is Traditional Medicine the answer. Its what many africans turn to when. The next clinic is far away. But the World Health Organization is yet to prove the efficacy of the plant. Some doctors say untested herbal proves could be a risk rather than a remedy. As follow johns around the world race to find a cure for the corona virus madagascar says it already has one that is heated debate on social media africans accuse the west of being condescending towards their faith in Traditional Medicines and they also say they have a remedy. Isaak lets see reports. For more than 2 decades some will a johnny has been working as a herbalist he says he turned to herbalism after his wife was cured of an element by one of his concoctions. Only works with local plants at this Production Facility close to ghanas capital accra he says they are preparing a remedy that can also treat called with 1000 patients. This drug can be used to treat coughs. Anyone who drinks it can also be cured of headaches. That remedy is not yet approved for use but 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. Patients are treated only with herbal remedies. Its own are also says his drugs can treat called with 19. When you see that people are out and dying and swearing and so forth you dont feel you were and that is why i. Who fought and had people that would come out with the medication that i have to who are i mean to to really to be able to fight is. Gone 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 you see you know sort of hints but 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 up to market with a. Gun as medical association also advises against illegal remedies but markets herbal medicines are being touted as a means of preventing and fighting called 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 the 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 their test all times of a manager and 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 look good with tradition 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 no only this is not a plant that is toxic. They did talents and we have your money t. That under these conditions you dont know whether people will overdose themselves. Off and. But under normal circumstances its not the 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 as they go to fight colds and and and flus thats just the only thing i can say but 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 theyve 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 the ways to prevent just south 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 but of entity of measures that we know its a false thing to assume that they is a chore. And then it might people make take in or they might go off and secondly this is a Traditional Medicine under normal circumstances it this should be prescribed by your type just not here who looks after you 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 this little plants are not only used in africa also widespread across asia in thailand for example they use the modern hospitals a western scientists looking for a cure in the wrong places. No mainly for my 2 it drugs in the market to day that emanate from medicine or plants. And thats thats they did not look where the difference is that what theyre from 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 ph to many places however these compounds tend to have side effects much more side effects than just the not the normal plants and so you know these are the things you buy lands in the work that we do they were here well have to leave it there one of the leading experts in the field of traditional african medicines thank you very much thank you. Now as well science correspondent 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 u. S. Viral r. N. A. Can sometimes still be detected in patients for for weeks after theyve come down with covert 19 but that doesnt mean that you remain infectious for that long 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 and 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 water known as serfaty dense since we dont have time for that suffice it to say that you can think of source code too as being sticky so was soluble in water which has to happen for the virus to be washed away.
