Recently, she established the Rose SHARON Healthy Living Centre in the beautiful heartland of Jos from where Vanguard has brought this chat with her.
What is the Rose Sharon Healthy Living Centre and to what purpose was it established?
Rose SHARON Healthy Living Centre is a public health clinic with the purpose of teaching healthy living lifestyle and reversing disease.
As a medical doctor why are you more passionate about healthy living than about drug use and medication?
I am a medical doctor, but my field is Public Health, which primarily promotes healthy living, and disease prevention because it is cheaper and easier than cure. When people learn to live healthy they are more productive to themselves, to their families, and to the society.
Most times when people wait till they are diagnosed of an illness, the disease burden is already heavy, and usually difficult to totally cure. Most of the common ailments are totally preventable so our focus in the medical world should be on prevention, rather than wait for diseases to emerge before we try to tackle them.
Our passion at Rose SHARON HLC is therefore to achieve our vision which is “Healthy People, Healthy Society.”
In your years of medical practice, what are the health trends you are most concerned about?
There’s a frightening epidemic of obesity, even in children, diabetes, cancers, arthritis, kidney problems and a host of others.
Younger and younger children have poor vision and have to wear eye glasses. Children are being diagnosed with adult onset diabetes. Cancer has become as common as malaria. These are all preventable diseases.
What are those lifestyles that are most unhealthy and injurious?
It’s what we coined as the acronym C.A.N.C.E.R, which stands for Contaminated Air, Nutritional Carelessness, and Environmental Rot.
Our atmosphere is heavily polluted by all kinds of smoke and chemicals, many people and families eat carelessly, and dangerous meals; there’s an epidemic of fast foods outfits where unwholesome meals are served; families depend on snacks and do not eat healthy meals; the environment is rotten, and to worsen it trees are recklessly been cut down without being replaced.
Trees help to purify the air, but when they are indiscriminately cut, and then the polluted air cannot be purified. All these are disturbing trends that directly affect people’s health negatively.
What are the specific services available at Rose SHARON and who are they directed at?
At Rose SHARON HLC we help people detect hidden disease conditions on time, treat and reverse chronic disease conditions so that patients do not have to live forever on drugs which will eventually damage their liver and kidneys; we also offer a healthy living training series called The C.A.N.C.E.R Free Lifestyle as health solutions to individuals, families, and corporate organizations.
Can you tell us a few of the health conditions you have been able to successfully address using the Rose SHARON approach?
We have helped a number of people reclaim their health from hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, pot-belly, chronic fatigue, stomach ulcers, allergies, migraine, and other chronic disease conditions
Basically, we offer them our home-grown therapy called F.A.R.M-O-THERAPY (Food As Real Medicine); it is a therapy developed at Rose SHARON HLC based on a non-drug approach to prevent, treat and reverse disease especially in patients who have been sentenced to a life time of drugs.
One of such patients is a young girl who had been on medication for 19 years for the treatment of migraine headache.
Once she started our F.A.R.M-O-THERAPY, her conditions improved and she doesn’t have to live with drugs anymore. Another interesting case is a middle-aged man who had been on diabetic drugs for 30 years; we placed him on our F.A.R.M-O-THERAPY and his blood sugar level began to normalize only a few weeks afterwards.
How is Rose SHARON HLC different from the regular clinics?
Rose SHARON HLC is a purely Public Health Clinic with a focus on disease prevention, promotion of healthy living and disease reversal. We treat the patient as a person, not as a collection of symptoms.
We look at the patient in totality, as a person who belongs in an environment. Even though we believe that medication has its place, we do not agree that patients must be sentenced to a life time of drug use because this is very dangerous and damaging to the vital organs.
With effective lifestyle change we have been able to successfully assist patients reverse disease and get off their medication.
Do you collaborate with other health professionals in this practice?
Rose SHARON HLC will be coordinating the efforts of the Doctors Charity, an American non-governmental organization which supports Doctors working in Nigerian communities. Details of this will unfold as core activities begin.
