Datura (devils trumpet) treats from Impotency to Baldness!

Botanical name – Datura stramonium
Local names: Devils trumpet
Arab ataa(Kalenjin)
Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous vespertine flowering plants which belongs to the family Solanaceae, meaning that it belongs to the same family as Solanum nigrum (sucha/managu). They are commonly known as daturas, but also known as devil's trumpets. Datura is a bushy plant growing up to one meter in height, has white flowers and  egg shaped fruits covered with prickles .
All Datura plants contain tropane alkaloids such as scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine, primarily in their seeds and flowers. Because of the presence of these substances, Datura has been used for centuries in some cultures as a poison- Wikipedia
The dried leaves, top portion of the flower and seeds of the plant constitutes a  highly potent medicine.

Smoking of Datura seeds as a treatment for asthma was known as early as during the Vedic period. The medicinal properties of the plant is attributed to the presence of alkaloids in its seeds, with the cultivated Datura producing more alkaloids in dried seeds and fruits. Examples of the alkaloids present in the plant includes deploid I and tetraploid ii - (research on this!) .

Healing powers

In the British and the United states pharmacopoeia, the dried leaves and seeds are used as antispasmodic under critical conditions of asthma and whooping cough. Datura achieves this by counteracting spasmodic disorders and induces deep sleep.
Asthma
Datura is extremely useful in asthma, when the smoke from the  leaves is inhaled. The leaves are rolled into cigarettes and can be smoked to relieve asthmatic attacks.
Malaria
Datura fruit is a specific remedy for phlegmatic and bilious types of malarial fever. A desired quantity of the fruit should be placed in an earthen pot and covered with a plaster composed of cloth and clay . The preparation should be parched in 10 to 12 grams of cow dung  cakes. When the fire gets extinguished  and the pot is cold, the fruit is removed and crushed into a powder and stored for phlial use in malarial fever.
Heart disorders
Datura is a good remedy for heart disorders and can relieve cardiac pains, distress palpitation and aortic disorders.
Earache
The leaves of the herb can be used to treat earache. About  125gm of grams of the juice of Datura leaves and sesame oil should be boiled in a tin vessel gentle fire. When half of the juice has evaporated, seven leaves of gigantic swallow wort should be put in after smearing them with oil and sprinkling with powdered salt. Boil the leaves until the start to char . Filter the oil with a coarse cloth and preserve in a cloth and preserve in a bottle. A few drops of this ointment in the ear can cure earache and suppurative conditions of the ear.
Impotency
Awesome Datura can be used in the treatment of impotency! seeds of 15 ripe fruits should be extracted and boiled in 8 kilograms of cow’s milk on gentle fire. This milk should then be made into a curd in the normal way and and churned the following morning to extract the butter, which is then stored in a wide-mouthed bottle. The butter extracted is massaged every morning and evening on the penis and the spine to elicit the desired effect. Oral formulation can also be prepare by using four grains with betel leaves.
Baldness
A preparation made from Datura seeds with other ingredients is useful in patchy baldness. A paste prepared from Datura seeds, liquorice, saffron and milk cream is heated in coconut oil thoroughly till the solid mass converts to a charred powder. The oil can be applied on the bald patches and has the power to stimulate hair growth. Since Datura is poisonous, ensure to wash your hands after handling the oil. Do not use the mixture on scalp of children.
Breast milk secretion
In case of demise of newly born baby, accumulation of milk in the breasts of the mother poses a serious problem, i.e. severe pain. Warmed eaves of Datura tied on the breasts helps dry the milk without any pain. Only two to three applications will bring the desired results.
The Zuni once used Datura as an analgesic, to render patients unconscious while broken bones were set.The Chinese also used it in this manner, as a form of anesthesia during surgery__wikipedia
Precautions:
The usual dose of Datura is about two decigrams. In large doses, it may lead to dilation of pupils, and dryness of the mouth and throat.
As per Wikipedia, Datura intoxication typically produces delirium (as contrasted to hallucination), hyperthermia, tachycardia, bizarre behavior, and severe mydriasis with resultant painful photophobia that can last several days. Pronounced amnesia is another commonly reported effect.The onset of symptoms generally occurs around 30 to 60 minutes after ingesting the herb. These symptoms generally last from 24 to 48 hours, but have been reported in some cases to last as long as two weeks.
Also, as with other cases of anticholinergic poisoning, intravenous physostigmine can be administered in severe cases as an antidote.

ARE HOSPITALS BECOMING GREEDY?

Even with low quality services, most hospitals have been known to mark up their prices. But how much is too much?
A report undertaken within Nairobi alone has concluded that most hospitals are raising their charges by as much as 1000 per cent! Of course you can’t think of an industry that can charge more than 1000 percent and remain in business.As the case of health sector, they are not worried since either way, we shall get sick and nobody will ask anyone to seek for medication as the pain will do the job.
Have you ever heard anyone bargain in hospital? Even the poorest person’s won't dare since the doc may under treat you or even allow you to die and in case you are surveying for the meanest persons, go to the hospital. Last year when I was visiting someone in the hospital, I saw  a very sick man who could not be attended to until he pays, while another one  was on daily nation newspaper  where he had  reportedly been imprisoned at K.N.H for many years due to unpaid bills.
Exorbitant charges
A week ago, I accidentally spilled my hydrogen peroxide (I normally keep H202 for first aid purposes). I went back to the pharmacy where I had bought the last batch from and I was shocked when I was told the 100ml bottle was 350sh yet I had bought the same batch at 65sh a week ago! I told the chemist I had 50sh only and he shyly asks me “ongeza mbao bwana” I gave him 70sh and took my package more confused than shocked. That is a whopping 400 percent overcharge!
It gets worse when you have a hurting tooth. For those who know, a tooth starts to hurt at night when you have nowhere to go to. The pain once crushed my head until I started to repent, asking God “what have I wronged you to deserve this?’’. When suffering such a pain, the first door you will knock at in the morning is at the dentist. That is what I did. After a warm introductory welcome by a very beautiful receptionist, I was already feeling at home, I explained how non-selective eating of things has caused a hole in my molar and consequently I couldn’t fall asleep with the hammering pain. “That needs refilling. It is only 15,000ksh and it is painless” she interrupted. With the mention of 15k, I found myself outside. In fact the pain was somehow gone; I don’t know how but something in my mind told me the headache is doing 50 press ups for nightfall and from that thinking, I was going for plan b when the same beauty tooth doc calls me by name, and gives me an address for an alternative private clinic. I went straight and was surprised that the same services was going at a cheaper price (ksh 2500 only!) and guess who treated me? The very same beautiful tooth doc from the referral hospital! I finally found out that these doctors give you a non-official huge figure to discourage you and then redirect you to another private hospital, their very own hospital. That is how business is ladies and gentlemen.

Redirecting the services

Have you gone to a public hospital and after treatment you are given a list of medicines to buy from pharmacy?, at times you are told that the supplies are finished and some “good” doctors even goes an extra mile of directing you to where you will buy from. By then you are too sick and your best concern is to get well, yet in the background someone has made a kill. Common antibiotics that are free in government hospitals and should cost roughly 2 shillings a tablet and a whole dose about 40 shillings will sell at 500 shillings (whole dose) or more in a pharmacy.

Pharmacy and poisons board

The pharmacy and poisons board only check on the quality control of the drugs and the persons dispensing. The pricing of pharmaceutical products and medical services might be a free for all game as this sector is treated like a church where nobody questions lest you get excommunicated.

Conclusion

The point is, if you have real money, invest in a pharmacy. But if you have money the size of Eurobond, invest in hospital. For the rest of those who are expecting end-month, enroll in NHIF or Medical Insurance otherwise, days are coming when you will call for harambee to remove tooth!

You Wont Believe This > The Cause Of Nandi-Luo Conflict In Chemelil!

The star has published a very detailed story about the semi-tribal conflict between Nandi and Luo. The story however digs deeper to pre-colonial era historical injustice which I believe the story brings more harm than good. The cattle theft issue is clearly known by the residents of the said region that the stolen cattle are slaughtered at a certain slaughterhouse in the lakeside city whose owner belongs to neither of the fighting tribes.
The real owners of the cattle in pursuit of the culprit who they don't know annihilate any living soul in their path as they seek for answers by interrogation.
Unknown to the owners of the stolen cattle, their own man organized the dispatch of the loot, and once the package is safely delivered, he joins the mob in the search for the stolen animals. In the end, the other tribe once beaten, they also assemble and stage a retaliatory attack.
The first cause thus is selfish unlawful business, and the other cause is probably political.
I say political since in this century, we have modern tracking technology which can be implemented in the animals so that they can be traced and the perpetrators be brought to book before the locals use primitive techniques hurting an entire community.
Also, after all the killings and torched houses, why is there no quick response unit which can respond on behalf of the owners of the stolen cattle? That way, the government can ban any security response by civilians thus prevent ethnicity.
My take is that, someone somewhere benefits when the two communities fight. The war takes the heat from him. He knows himself. He is mortal and when he dies, there is a special fire and a fork for his a** for people like him> R.I.P in advance.

WINDOW SHOPPERS


Dear my fellow windowshopers,
a few shopping malls are less friendly. there is only one entry and one exit. yes one exit through the cashiers desk so that you will arrange line up to the till so that you will shy off and beat chest and buy anything even like an handkerchief or lollipop in the name of getting out.
The other day a mzungu bought a painting worth 5000sh from tuskeys and 10 metres ahead of me, I saw him throw it into a dust bin and I laughed heart heart. so we are many. then I also threw the kerchief I bought and started chewing the nyef nyef I had just bought so that I could swallow with the bitterness I had just bought. That reminds me another day when I entered muthurwa to see see clothes then I got stuck in a stall. I mean stuck like in mud, but worse I got stuck between hundreds of clothers and every one of them wanted me to buy. I then realized that there was no way out I had to purchase my freedom again! but I had 200sh in pocket and head telled me 100 for fare and 100 for watching man u vs Chelsea. I slapped my head to restart my memory and voila! of cause I am dumb ... I mean I shoul be. so I stared at them as they tried all sorts of sign language and I was pinching myself small small to prevent me from laughing and to remind me that I am "dumb" , only for me to realize that they wont let go and they could still probably rob me off the few monies I had with me!. so I pointed at a pile of flabbers and like deaf do, buuurkka bee, een een and showing ten fingers for size ten. one quickly removed a polythene bag and tied for me a pair of brown flabbers the I was free at last. see how simple to detach yourself? then let me teach you, it is nothing personal, just buy anything from one of them even flabbers that you don't need and the leader be like "get your dirty booties off my customer" then you are free to talk bad to niggas around you and that is exactly what i badly intended to do untill I realized I was "dumb" .
Then I lost myself with hand in pocket massaging my humble wallet and there there, me until stadi where things are a little safe and I peeped into my purchase that I exchanged for myself and alas! if you have never seen of mosses...!! . there was a red, and a blue flabbers in the bag! in a glance, I first thought they sold me two pairs instead of one but a closer inspection revealed that it was one pair and worse they belonged to one foot ! oooh Abraham! even what wetangula bought in china is of up! and I don't bame him now.
My Sugar was starting to climb now. I tored the polythene and threw the contents into railways houses . meanwhile, an old man was watching closer then he said " why are you throwing them!?" and I was like "no I am not, I just liberated them." " why?" "because they saved my amino acids nigger!" he looked puzzled but all in all I enter the nearest joint for a cold drink to cool the alarming body temperature and remove feelings that were slowly catching my head.

Birthday basement project

Birthday basement project


Thank you all for the birthday wishes. actually I did not celebrate and you know why? it is because if I was shelling Maize during the birthday of Jesus, then why should I celebrate mine? and even if I wanted to do it , simple math revealed that pocket was not on good side and my logistics by head totaled to 20 bottles, meat of burnt at kitindo (forget about live chicken ) then insurance fee (security ) totaled to about 5k!. Soo... having no otherwise, I head for the basement and slept on the grass. small, I had an emergency call for a meeting about a biotech project we had been working on at Chiromo for clean energy to replace oil .another informer then calls me with good and bad news. the good news is that 1.our research on the large scale production of hydrazine was now stable and our hydrazine powered car was now ready for commercial trial 2. our sponsors just landed at J.K.I.A to see the success. but the bad news is that the minister for energy was already at our lab and demanded for the research to be shut down so as to protect the newly discovered oil.
I arrived in the lab just right in time when our sponsors started to deliver their speech. I felt so wasted until one of the sponsors lights up the talk. he proposed a deal that we sell them the hydrazine powered car design and in return the government gets funding for mining their oil while our research team gets 60billion dollars. I could not believe my ears. in heart heart, math were running like 10m buy a beach house, 1bm secure a few stairs in cbd, 100k for destroying my friends with meat of burnt with drinks every weekend and 1m a car for my haters to feed their eyes.
I was so so happy that the 5k I had I desided to prepare myself psychologically for the big things. I had planned to tell my amino acids sorry for feeding them with carbohydrates daily and that is why my next stop was at a joint opposite nation centre but before I enter I realized that I still had my lab coat on then head telled me to go to house and dress like koffi olomide so that people look at me at corner of eye.
so I hire a taxi and on the way I could not hide my joy and started chanting hydrazine, hydrazine, hydra, hydra, hyd
... hy... hy... and then i stretch hand to remove magazine at the backseat to imagine myself on headlines and alas! I felt a boot then heard weak voices from far one saying " hey si I told you this chap was crazy ." then I felt pain in ear and then. heard hey man utarian wake up you are getting late for class.
I have never felt so cheated in my life . couldn't believe it was just a dream I got up covered in grass all over and my friends looking at me as if I was an alien. they where discussing football and I joined in for a while until they entered Manchester and I knew I couldn't win in a whole bunch of arsenal goddesses so I pick my bag to leave for class then someone shouted from the bunch "hey Kosgei, what is hydrazine? " I ignored the question and left leaving them choking with laughter .
happy man u week and happy birthday for myself and for baby Jesus I promise to eat next Christmas well well
For non biologists, hydrazine in made from liquefied ammonia gas, amino acids are what we are made of i.e ( building blocks of proteins )__I am Kosgei

Teach me how to pray



I am not regular at church going, but when I do, people have to know. so the other day I went to church. don't ask me what was the reading or the middle song as many keep asking me to proof I went to church. actually I forget the readings as faster as they are read so that doesn't mean I never went to church.

Today I arrived earlier and took my position (usually three rows from the front) I wanted to get it clear; but incidentally I found myself between babies. I mean on my left was a mother with a baby, also on my right, front and behind me!
Everything was fine the first few minutes until the one on my left opened juice for her baby then time bomb went off! baby on my right saw this, and started crying, then the others joined in until all I could get from the pulpit was priest waving hands and in no time my brain was on
impromptu visit to old trafford.

Church was almost ending and all I had captured is "we are salt " courtesy of babies, I never got the meaning or the context so I licked my arm ,and it sure tasted salt so I kept wondering why God put salt on us or are we food for some other form of life?

The other thing I captured was " we are all made in God image". nigger .I wonder if God want us to be like him or are we like him? even osama?, hitler? bivyanga? surely some face don't look like God!

Then I realized I was not the only lost alone. An old macho was advising a woman not to bring kids to church again ; yet on the other verse, Jesus says let the children come to me because the kingdom belongs to them.
What hit my mind more is that part that we are salt, and life is a journey!. a few are living, while the rest of us are adding flavor to their live. A few are traveling, the rest of us are escorts assisting them on their journey through life. Take your boss for instance. He is alive, you are adding flavor to his life by working like a donkey and praising him!. you are escorting him through his journey (life) by covering his mistakes and carrying his luggage (taking the blame ) yet he earns more salary for relaxing in office for 30 days!
have a holly week.

Just for fun

It was on 27th when the infamous toothache caused by sensitivity to cold or hot food stuffs caught me with surprise that i thought i should put an end to it for once and for all. A friend of mine gave me a helping hand by suggesting i should go yo the referral hospital for refilling. According to the directions  he gave me, i was supposed to go upstairs second floor,take a left turn and go straight and i was supposed to come to a sign board "the dental care unit".

I was proceeding well with my tracks according to the directions i was given when as if from nowhere two beautiful ladies appeared and i was busy observing them and i was about to comment   about their traits when suddenly  one of them asked the other for directions to the dental unit."aah!, i will take you there" replied the other .quickly, i thought i could parasitise on them so that apart from following them to my destination, i was also looking around  the place just in case i was to come by another time. I was in the act of looking around when i saw dental care unit.my memory flashed so fast that without taking another look, i realized that i was at the dentist's door.

I was about to alert my hosts about their map failure but then i decided not to after all it was none of my business and who cares any way?. As i got into the office, i got a strange feeling and i was about to retreat but i beat my chest. after all i am a man-a warrior for this matter. I quickly inspected the area and wondered why there was no dentists chair, but well chairs instead. people acted a bit more crazy than insane, i thought.then at another end, several men where struggling tooth to nail to fix a youthful man on a chair while he was struggling to get on his feet at one point, they slapped him on the cheeks and he returned with fierce kicks. they finally managed to make him sit  and they even tied him fast to his seat.

"What a brutality!", i wondered. I thought i should get the hell out of  the place so that maybe i could inquire from the customer service desk i had earlier spotted. I was very terrified and i was retreating trembling  badly that someone noticed me and he shouted " Ndio hiyo ingine kamata !". I was terrified and stood rooted. for one time, i realized things where not right at all .I retreated quickly and when i was  out, i took a glimpse back and something  on the note on the door attracted my attention. It was inscribed in capital letters (THE MENTAL CARE UNIT)!. I was scared i immediately realized that by my trembling, they thought that i was another mentally challenged victim trying to escape medication!. I hastened my steps so as to escape my pursuers .

when i was at a safe distance, i breathed heavily, the thought of seeing a dentist had even escaped my mind. my teeth even felt much better. I took another direction and headed for Eldoret town. all i needed  was a chilling cold drink to take away the alarming body temperature and fear that gripped me tightly," how could i have explained myself that i am not crazy?" kisang had told me most crazy fellows are PHD (permanent head damage) holders!. i fkn hate this day.

Amazing
