Having been in the industry for over 46 years, the chief who inherited the art of healing with nature from his maternal grandfather has cure for a wide range of ailments including madness, diabetes, low libido, barrenness and other diseases that defies orthodox medication. In this interview with Alternative Health & Lifestyles, the herbal guru, who has a Diploma from the Nigeria College of Natural Medicine and a certificate from the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) sheds light on a host of issues related to the Nigerian natural health field. Chief (Dr.) Olafisoye told our correspondent “It is wrong for people to use the word “alternative” to describe our natural medical practice. Alternative is something that is secondary, something that is not real. But we are the originator of medicine. Our forefathers were already using it before the othordox drugs came into being. So it is the orthodox drugs that are alternative; we are REAL, not alternative!” He also spoke on a number of industry issues, including his expertise in the use of verbal words to cure serious ailments. Excerpts.
Background
I learnt the practice of natural medicine from my maternal grandfather. Before I was born, my parents did not have a male child; I later came to be the only male child they have. Because they said I am a replica of my maternal grandfather, who was a great natural medicine practitioner, I was just five years when I was taken to live with him. It was there I learnt the practice of natural medicine. When I was 21 years, the man died and left me with a great wealth of knowledge in the field. That was how I inherited the art and practice of herbal medicine.
Testimonies Upon Testimonies
My foray into herbal medicine has been a very successful one. From every corner, every day, testimonies upon testimonies keep coming from people who have received healings from here. This house where I live, for instance, was built for me by someone whom I cured of a very serious ailment which orthodox medical doctors had described as a hopeless case. But the person came here and got cured. Then there is also a couple that suffered from childlessness for 13 years. It was here they got cured and today they are proud and happy parents.

Why I Treat Both couple For Infertility
Whenever a woman brings a case of barrenness, I always treat her and her husband together because a woman is not always the cause of childlessness. Sometimes it could be the fault of the man. A man that has low sperm count, for instance, may find it difficult to impregnate his wife. Again when the body is always hot or if there is a viral disease that has been left untreated for a very long time it could lead to the man not being able to impregnate his wife. On the side of the woman, so many things could have caused it, including fibroid. So to get results, we treat both couple and it has always worked.

A Wide Area Of Expertise
I have proved my expertise in a wide range of ailments. I have cured madness within a few minutes just by invoking incantations to the patient. Whether it is low libido, stroke, migraine, renal problems, hepatic problems, side paralysis, cardiovascular problems etc, they get cured as soon as they come here. Many people have faith in my medicines because I cured them first before asking for payments; this is because I trust myself and know that my medicine will work.

Why People Are Moving From Orthodox Drugs To Herbal Medicines
Before, people were brainwashed but now they are coming to realise that herbal medicine is far much better than the orthodox. Now, let me give you an example. If you are having headache and you take orthodox drug, the drug, within a few minutes push the headache away and gives you relief. But mind you, it has not killed the ailment; it has pushed it to another part of the body. Later on, the ailment will resurface in another, often more dangerous, form. Orthodox drugs are poisonous to the body due to their chemical constituents.
Herbal medicine, on the other hand, works gradually to heal the patient. And because it is organic, it is absorbed by the body. Any part that is not absorbed in the process of healing is taken out as waste product. Again, makers of orthodox drugs are far away from their patients. We are in the community and this proximity gives us chance to monitor our patients...
