Gambian president says he can cure Aids
A treatment to cure HIV/AIDS and asthma allegedly based on a combination of seven herbs mentioned in the holy Quran has swept the Gambian capital, The Independent newspaper reported on Saturday. The British daily noted that Banjul is routinely home to hundreds of patients waiting to place themselves under the healing hands of President Yahya Jammeh, who has long boasted of his mystical powers. The paper quotes him as saying that he treats asthma patients, restricted to 100, either on Fridays or Saturdays and 10 HIV/AIDS patients on Mondays and Thursdays. Jammeh claims that he recently received a mandate to treat a large numbers of people, adding that the cure takes only one day to take effect. He did not say who had bestowed the mandate on him, which apparently provides specific days for each treatment. Nor did he identify the herbs. Posted by: Fred 2007-02-04 |
