According to Raymond Hinish, Pharm.D., of the Your Prescription for Health 
Wellness Clinic (www.illnessisoptional.com) it is absolutely possible that 
President Jammeh of Gambia has found an herbal formula that could cure many 
people suffering with HIV and AIDS. "We must not dismiss this formula just 
because it sounds crazy," he says. "We naturally assume that because the 
formula came to him in a dream that it must be an artifact of mental 
illness. We forget that this is precisely the way that the theory of 
relativity came to be, Albert Einstein saw it in a dream."

(PRWEB) March 19, 2007 -- According to Raymond Hinish, Pharm.D., of the Your 
Prescription for Health Wellness Clinic (www.illnessisoptional.com) it is 
absolutely possible that President Jammeh of Gambia has found an herbal 
formula that could cure many people suffering with HIV and AIDS. "We must 
not dismiss this formula just because it sounds crazy," he says. "We 
naturally assume that because the formula came to him in a dream that it 
must be an artifact of mental illness. We forget that this is precisely the 
way that the theory of relativity came to be, Albert Einstein saw it in a 
dream." He does not suggest that this herbal concoction is a cure for HIV 
and AIDS, he simply does not dismiss the possibility that it could be. "The 
knee-jerk reaction of conventional medicine is to dismiss unconventional 
thought simply because it is unconventional," says Dr. Hinish.

Many of humankind's wonderful discoveries were presented to the inventor 
through the subconscious mind in the form of a dream. Otto Loewi, made his 
Nobel Prize winning discovery that nerve transmission occurs through 
chemical pathways through a dream. Kekule discovered the benzene ring 
through a dream of atom "beings" that clustered before his slumbering eyes. 
Among the many discoveries, the most fascinating as it pertains to the 
Gambia story is of Madame C.J. Walker, the first self-made female 
millionaire. Madame Walker founded the first African American cosmetic 
company after a struggle with an unexplained scalp infection that caused her 
to lose all of her hair. In a dream one night, she recounts that a black man 
appeared to her and told her what herbs to mix up and apply to her scalp. 
Some of these herbs occurred in Africa. She sent out for the herbs and when 
she received them, mixed them up as described to her in the dream and then 
applied the concoction to her scalp. Soon her hair grew back faster than it 
had fallen from her head. She then offered the same concoction to her 
friends for whom it worked. This formula then went on to become the flagship 
product that made her into a multi-millionaire. Is it possible that the 
dream world is the conduit through which the subconscious mind provides us 
with answers to our most pressing questions?

can we blame him for not wanting to cooperate with the western medical 
community?
President Jammeh caused great controversy by ceasing the conventional 
anti-retroviral treatment in adults and children with HIV and starting them 
on his herbal formula. A United Nations representative was kicked out of the 
country when she suggested that patients not stop their medications until 
the herbal formula could be properly tested. People argue that President 
Jammeh is being manipulative by not allowing "experts" to review the records 
of the patients who have been "cured" by his herbal formula. Reporters have 
been allowed to interview the patients and speak with his western trained 
medical doctor, in both cases the parties report cures. This does beg the 
question, "can we blame him for not wanting to cooperate with the western 
medical community?" It is this community who have leaped out into the press 
labeling his treatment some sort of snake oil without first investigating 
the claims. What would western medicine do with the formula if they were 
given the recipe? Would they really put it through serious testing? Would 
they put a few drops in a test tube to see if it destroyed the virus? If it 
failed to destroy the virus would they then hold a press conference shouting 
claims of snake oil and fraud? "There is a vital distinction that needs to 
be expressed here," says Dr. Ray Hinish the Your Prescription for Health 
Wellness Clinic, "I am not saying that his herbal concoction is the cure for 
HIV and AIDS, I am saying it could be the cure for HIV and AIDS." It is 
unlikely but entirely possible! Why not proceed with this mentality that 
errs on the side of possibility and hope? Perhaps if we come to him with an 
open mind and express nonjudgmental interest, perhaps the doors will be 
opened to outside scientists. Think about it…would you open your door to 
violent group yelling politically correct profanities at you?

"Is it really so farfetched that a cure for HIV and AIDS could come from an 
herbal source? Isn't it interesting that a significant number of the 
medications on the shelves of our pharmacy, including cancer and heart 
medications, find their origin and are sourced in herbal remedies? Isn't it 
interesting that some of our greatest breakthroughs in science came from the 
dreams of men and women who were opened to the possibility of subconscious 
intervention? What will happen to innovation if we ignore this fruitful 
creative garden that exists only when we shut our eyes for the evening? 
There are valuable lessons to be learned here whether or not the herbal 
formula pans out to be a cure. Is it unlikely? Yes…but wouldn't it be 
interesting and amazing if it worked and we acknowledged its benefit? 
Wouldn't it be catastrophic if it worked and we shunned it away without 
giving it at least an ounce of our time and effort?"
