The process was so >>effective that patients responded to the healing techniques within a short >>span of time. His medicinal application was simply the Holy Qur’an >>combined with a few traditional herbs. >> The curative power of the Gambian leader left many mesmerised and >>stunned, including his entourage, doctors, nurses, patients and other >>staff of RVTH. It was his second consecutive day at the hospital, after >>attending to the patients on Saturday. >> >> Speaking in an interview with journalists, shortly after attending to >>the patients, President Jammeh said: “Nowadays there are a lot of strange >>illnesses. It seems there is no remedy for them and most of time even if >>there is remedy, it takes a lot of time for patients to heal. So I think >>its time for me to come out from hiding and show them what I can do”. >> >> He then added: “I told Gambians since 1994 that there are a lot of >>things that I can do. But Gambians would never know the Yahya Jammeh that >>is here. I believe in two things. If somebody is sick and you cannot cure >>the person with the Holy Qur’an, the person is certainly going to die. And >>it would not take 24 hours. There is no disease in this world that you >>cannot cure using the Qur’an and some natural herbs that are existing >>either in the forest and/or at our homes. So this is traditional herbal >>medicine but basically used in the Qur’an. It is spiritual. So you will >>realise that the whole ward that we took care of yesterday were >>coincidentally, all Muslims.” >> >> He then continued: “Yesterday, there were two patients that were in >>very critical conditions. In fact, both of them could not talk. I saw that >>one of them was suffering and was in great pain, so I had to take care of >>him to relief the pain. But the good thing about it was that he was >>temporary relieved. But I said yesterday that I have no home with him, >>including the old man.” >> >> >> >> Source >> >> President Jammeh told journalists he got his medicine from the forest, >>saying “what is important is that it my concoction and my knowledge. It is >>a natural knowledge for me, which is based on the Qur’an. These are >>basically plants. I have the title of doctor. In fact, I am a stronger >>doctor than them, because I use the name of Allah and the Qur’an”. >> >> On the continuity of curing patients, President Jammeh decribed the >>exercise as a duty. However, he pointed out that he also has other >>responsibilities. “One, I am a head of state and have to take care of >>state matters. I am also a family man. Also, I have to pray a lot. In >>fact, what will happen will be Saturday clinics. And of course, it will >>not be every Saturday, because sometimes I have to go to Kanilai. But we >>will make an arrangement with them so that we can deal with the most >>critical cases. The rest they can take care of them, such as malaria. But >>cases where there is no hope, those are the ones I will concentrate on,” >>he noted. >> >> He disclosed that he would also attend to HIV/Aids patients,which he >>said would require time. He elaborated: “What we could do is to take >>members of Santa Yalla, who have exposed themselves so that we can start >>with them. But I will tell you when I am ready, because it is not easy to >>do it. It is not easy to prepare.” He stressed that one must pray a lot. >> >> President Jammeh then observed that he does not “ just go and cure a >>patient. There are signs I look for and I use the Qur’an”. However, he >>confirmed that for two of the patients, he did not use the Qur’an because >>he was “definitely sure that they are going to die. It is not easy but >>that is the way it is. There is nothing I can do for somebody whose time >>is up. But if it is a question of illness, we can take care of it”. >> >> He informed journalists that he started the curing process with his >>relative to ensure people understand that it’s no joke. “You must have >>seen the other one who before I touched him was saying he could not >>breathe and that he was going to die. After I attended to him, he was >>asking for a job to the extent that he showed me his driving license. Its >>all with the power of Almighty Allah,” he said. >> >> >> >> The link >> >> Asked about the link between the Qur’an and traditional medicine, >>President Jammeh replied: “There is no distinction between the Qur’an and >>traditional medicine. Traditional medicine is purely the use of herbs. And >>every herb that is of medicinal value is mentioned in the Qur’an. You will >>also realise that there some people call marabouts, who use the Qur’an to >>write something, wash it and give it to the person to drink. So that’s the >>link. And for any verse that you can use in the Qur’an for healing, there >>is a tree in the forest that you can use if you cannot use the Qur’an. So >>if you can use the Qur’an and the tree itself, it makes it simple. You are >>invoking the name of Almighty Allah. And Allah has said that there are so >>many things that we can do. There are so many things that are hidden from >>us.” >> >> President Jammeh further noted that there is no difference between >>traditional medicine, modern medicine and the Qur’an. He explained: >>“Whatever they use as modern medicine, must have been extracted from a >>plant or naturally existing chemicals. In the Qur’an, you have both the >>herbs and elements - elements of a chemical nature that you can use. In >>fact, what you extract from the plant are chemicals that are extracted to >>make medicine. Some may exist in mineral or gaseous form to make medicine. >>The source of all modern and traditional medicine is from Almighty Allah, >>and that is the Qur’an. Allah says he has created for mankind all in this >>Qur’an. It’s like a literature. I may read a story like that of >>Shakespeare and I may know the literal meaning of it. But somebody who has >>done literature would be able to explain to you what they are talking >>about, which may be different from what I understand about it.” >> >> He then affirmed that he is willing to share the knowledege, provided >>it would not be commercialised. “If it is going to be commercialised, then >>no!,” he stressed. >> >> Dr Malick Njie, Chief Medical Director of RVTH, expressed his >>impression with Jammeh’s miracle, saying what “he has got is different >>from what we learnt in medical school”. >> >> Dr Njie added: “I was amazed by somebody who said he could not breathe >>and who thought he would die. But after what he gave him, he asked for a >>job. I cannot talk much about that because I do not have much knowledge >>about it. But traditional medicine is someting that is in the country. >>It’s been an excellent visit. We had him yesterday, we had him here today. >>His mere presence stimulated a lot in the patients.” >> >> He disclosed that a woman, who was in a bad condition wanted to be >>discharged, after she had received “something from the President. She was >>ready to go. I told her well,. if you are well, you must go so that we can >>admit other patients. But His Excellency said do not let her go.” >> >> He said another female patient, who was in a psychotic condition and >>incoherent also responded to President Jammeh’s curative medicine, after >>it was administered to her. “She was ready to go home, which we found >>amazing. She started talking coherently. This morning the consultant did >>the check-up round and certified her fit to be discharged”. >> >> >> >> Patients’ account >> >> Also speaking to the journalists, Amadou Bah, a patient at the A&E >>Unit, said: “I am getting much better than before. I am really grateful to >>President Jammeh for treating me. I am very happy.” >> >> Omar Jaiteh, another patient, said: “I now feel fine. I am feeling much >>better now.” >> >> Ebrima Demba, who was confined to his sickbed since his admission at >>the A&E Unit, said: “I feel really great. I could not walk from my bed to >>the toilet. But now, I can walk thanks to the President. Illness is cured >>through a gradual process and I really want the President to come again.” >> >> Alagie Hydara and Elbo Jarjue, also expressed similar sentiments. >> >> President Jammeh brought gifts for the patients and then gave out >>D30,000 to a lady, whose father passed away at the A&E Unit. He also gave >>gifts of cash to the Kanifing gas explosion victims at the Intensive Care >>Unit. >> >> President Jammeh was accompanied to the hospital by the Secretary >>General, a number of Secretaries of State and the Chief of Protocol. >> >> >>Joe Sambou <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Laye, yet another reminder of >>what Gambians that voted opted for.
