This is not a story of "one poor country duping another" but a President duping his subjects. The story is from the president's own newspaper - Daily Observer. We the Gambian population have the right to know scientific proofs and side effects of this medicine.

Kanilai medicine hits market
Written by DO
Tuesday, 27 December 2005
Kanilai medicine reputed to cure a wide range of ailments, including diarrhoea, malaria, headache, muscular pain, and partial blindness, was on Friday formally introduced into the Gambian market at the July 22 Square in Banjul.
Bottled in two different sizes of Naturelle plastic containers, Kanilai medicine was sold at D100 and D300 to hundreds of Gambians who queued up to buy the popular medicine that had been showcased at the second National Trade Fair at the Independence Stadium in Bakau.
According to President Jammeh, who graced the selling of the latest locally produced medicines with his presence, Kanilai medicine is efficacious against Sexually Transmitted Infections(STIs) and abdominal pains, as well as helping to regularise menstrual periods.
He described the preparation of the medicine as “hectic and time consuming”, explaining that its preparation is accompanied by the recitation of the Holy Scriptures.
The Gambian leader warned the public against buying the medicine from unauthorised agents. “People are unscrupulous. They can dilute this and start selling it to people. You can buy from us directly.
“It will be futile for anyone to obtain or buy the medicine from any where else without coming to us.
“We are only selling it in bottles of Naturell with codes. Next time we’re selling it, we are going to change the codes,” he said.
Besieged by a crowd of appreciative buyers, President Jammeh in his characteristic magnanimity, gave out bottles of the Kanilai medicine free to the elderly and students.

| It sounds VERY suspect to me! I wouldnt take it INSTEAD of recommended medicine. It could be dangerous, especially if people believe it can cure STIs!! |

| Greetings, thanks Guest, I made the duping topic still in despair from reading the Kanaili medicine topic days earlier. Thought it too late to continue on that. It has now surfaced what may be behind the timing of the new potion few days back with the opening of the Traditional Healers Clinic in Berending Village, Observer news yesterday that Head of State financed & equipped the clinic from JFPP, and Herbalist assures that diabetes in curable. As in most countries ‘keep the public wheel spinning’ it all times very nicely when elections are due? Peace & freedom. |
