"A
wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human
blessings".
-Hippocrates
Unfortunately,
health care, like other spheres of life in Nigeria, is at its
lowest ebb. The summary index of healthcare system performance
in )World Health Organisation (WHO report 2000 rated Nigeria
187th out of 191 member states. In fact, life expectancy of Nigerians
has dropped from 52 years in 1999 to 47 years in 2004. While good
health begins with eating wholesome balanced diet, prices of food
have hit the sky. The result is widespread hunger and malnutrition,
which weakens the immune system. Even the rich have their share
of the misery arising from functional disorders caused by bad
eating habits and unhealthy lifestyles. Worse still, more than70
percent of drugs in the country are either fake or substandard.
In effect,
Nigerians are endangered and the epidemic of deaths among young
adults underscores the threat to life in our country. This is,
no doubt, a worrisome development, but there is a way out, hence
the introduction of Bee Alive Forum to educate Nigerians on the
healthful properties of honey and other hive products and their
uses for disease prevention and cure. Unknown to many, honey and
other products are God's answer to human sufferings. They are
formulated in God's Pharmacy through the divine pharmacological
skills endowed in the honeybees. For instance, it is universally
acknowledged that beehive is the most sterile and cleanest place
on earth aside the fact that honeybee is the cleverest chemist
cum chef. Bee products are not only super foods; they are also
excellent natural drugs that can protect our health efficiently
against numerous diseases and ill - health conditions.
Unlike conventional
medical system, which is sickness oriented - designed to respond
to illness, bee products promotes good health and extend the prime
of life because they contain all the nutritional factors and other
biological active substances to help human body function at its
maximum capacity. As a matter of fact, owing to the incredible
vitamin complexes and phytonutrient profiles of bee products,
they have become vital elements in the contemporary medical services
even in the developed countries. So, through this forum, members
of the public would be educated on how to promote health and healing
with bee products. The forum would hold monthly and participants
would be availed apitherapy protocols, research studies, clinical
records and testimonies validating the efficacy of honey and other
hive products in disease prevention and cure. Essentially, this
forum is designed to reinforce the nation's health care system
with a view to stemming epidemic of deaths among Nigerians.
