Caring for the community. A famous doctor cardiologist from Nigeria explains why hypertensive patients in Nigeria  do not have a chance to be healthy

Daniel Kaw is an Outstanding Doctor in Public Health, recipient of the Healthcare Contribution Award, International Geirdner Prize, Albert Lasker Prize for Basic Medical Research, Florence Nightingale International Committee of the Red Cross, Asia's Best Cardiologist, and many other international awards in the field of cardiology.

Daniel Kaw is an extraordinary cardiologist who lives simply and always tries to help people. 11 years ago he migrated from Nigeria to India. He is currently a leading cardiologist at the prestigious Cardiology Center in Odan Lagos. However, Daniel didn't just serve the wealthy. He believes that medicines should be available to everyone. Therefore, he works 6 days a week at the Center. On his sixth day, which is the weekend, he spends his time serving the poor of Nigeria. And he did it for free in his apartment. The turn for an appointment with them was scheduled months in advance.

Daniel Kaw himself said that he adheres to the belief that is rarely accepted today that medicine does not exist for people, but for doctors to make a fortune for themselves.

IN DANIEL KAW'S OPINION: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE AND UNACCEPTABLE TO MAKE A PROFIT FROM SICK PEOPLE!

Therefore, it is very alarming to hear the statement of a world-renowned cardiologist about the medical situation in Nigeria - that it is AT LEAST 20 YEARS BEHIND THE WORLD, and Nigeria HYPERTENSION ALWAYS DOESN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO CURE HIGH BLOOD. AND THIS IS SO AWFUL! THE FACT THAT HYPERTENSION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF DEATH IN NIGERIA

We had to work hard to interview this famous cardiologist on this topic. Here is what he had to say:

- Daniel, can you comment on your claims about Nigeria medicine

- Of course. I am always straightforward and honest. Unfortunately, Nigeria medicine is in a bad state. Before it was not like that.

There is something very scary in public clinics. Everything is distorted, doctors are either old or young, inexperienced. Very long line. An appointment with a specialist doctor can take months. But even they do not heal, but engage in trade, selling useless medicines to patients. 90% of doctors, if not more, are corrupt. In private clinics, the situation is a little better, but the prices for their services, unfortunately, cannot be afforded by most of the community.

And what should people do in that situation? There is nowhere to go for treatment. And it all comes down to money. The policy at the clinic is, the longer someone is sick, the more profitable. No one is interested in providing a quick and complete recovery treatment.

But what is worst is what is sold in Nigeria pharmacies. Medicines for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, were sold 30 years ago, there are no new effective drugs on pharmacy shelves!

You will be surprised if I tell you that HYPERTENSION IS NOT CONSIDERED A CHRONIC DISEASE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY TREATED. In most developed countries in the world, in Nigeria , it is still classified as an incurable disease, and at the standard level of public medicine!

Doctors and pharmacists in Nigeria still recommend drugs to the public such as

Losartran, Lisiropril, Actron, Concor, Cozaar, Atacand, Micardis and others. Which has been abandoned by progressive treatment clinics for the past 10 years! These drugs (and similar ones) are, firstly, out of date, and secondly, not intended for the treatment of hypertension. It only allows the normalization of blood pressure for a short period of time, and does not cure the disease completely. This means you have to take it all the time, spending half of your pension on profit-hungry pharma giants.

- How is hypertension treated in India now? Before this interview, we have seen the statistics - according to the statistics, the number of hypertensive patients in India has decreased almost 7 times over the past 5 years. Really? What is the reason?

- Yes, it's true! This is not only the case in India . But also in all other countries where modern standards of treatment of this pathology are used. As I said before, with the help of modern medicine, HYPERTENSION IS EASY TO TREAT. It is important to fight not only the pathological symptoms (very high pressure), but also to overcome the cause. This is a real approach incorporated in modern medicine. I will try to explain to you briefly….

Imagine that the blood vessels are ordinary pipes through which water flows. When the pipe is new, water can flow through it smoothly. However, the pipes are then contaminated with rust after use. As a result, the effective flow of water in the pipe is reduced, it becomes more difficult for water to flow through it, in addition, the water itself becomes dirty with rust contamination due to these contaminants!

The same thing happens with our blood vessels! The difference is that it is not contaminated with rust, like water pipes, but with cholesterol and other harmful substances. It also no longer has smooth blood flow… However, the right amount of blood needs to go to all organs - this is the basis of human life. If the blood stops, then the person will die.

You understand, right? Blood is more difficult to flow due to impurities in the vessels. Therefore, the heart has no choice but to increase the pressure! Just like public utilities increasing the pressure in old water pipes (this is the main reason why water supply accidents happen so often!).

In order to reduce and stabilize blood pressure, patients in Nigeria are now (and earlier in other countries) given special drugs to reduce pressure. However, it does not eliminate the cause of hypertension (vascular pollution with cholesterol), so people NEED TO TAKE SUCH DRUGS EVERY DAY. Otherwise, blood pressure will rise, and this can be fatal.

If your blood pressure starts to rise with age, and before that it was normal, then 100% it is caused by dirty blood vessels. In this situation, you don't need to take pills all the time for the rest of your life - BECAUSE SUCH HYPERTENSION IS EASY TO TREAT!

In 2007, scientists have discovered a unique substance - a special form of vitamin E called "active alpha-tocopherol". This substance is useful because it is able to penetrate into cholesterol deposits and dissolve them from the inside. Therefore, it can clean blood vessels effectively, including capillaries and arterioles. The blood pressure after such cleaning is completely gone. It means that the blood pressure will not rise at all! No more headaches, lethargy which persists, blurred vision and kidney damage will not occur.The risk of heart attack or stroke, the most common pathology, from which up to 90% of hypertensive patients die, will disappear.

- How to get this treatment? You say that there is a special medicine for the treatment of hypertension in India. Can it be ordered for hypertensive patients in Nigeria?

- Unfortunately, this kind of medicine cannot be shipped across borders. But Nigerian hypertensive patients, in fact, do not need to order such drugs in India. Because alpha-tocopherol can be treated in Nigeria as well, because the required preparation containing alpha-tocopherol is Nigeria.

It is called Cardioton. Developed by V.I. T. Yong - a leading institution in the country. And I will say even more - it is somewhat better than Indian, because in addition to alpha-tocopherol (the main component) it contains more than 60 (!) vitamins, macro and micro elements useful for the heart and blood vessels. I won't list them all, I'll just list a few.

Cardiotonis a complete complex for the improvement of the cardiovascular system, which has a balanced composition research. Medicines from India are worse because they do not contain the listed ingredients, and they have to be taken separately. Therefore, Cardioton much easier. If we talk about age-related hypertension, then it will be treated in 2-3 months of regular use of Cardioton. This is a very good clue!

- But before you have talked about the sad state of Nigeria medicine?

- That's right. The fact is that such a drug exists, but, first of all, not many people know about it, doctors do not talk about it at all. And secondly, it cannot be bought at a pharmacy. Like I said, in Nigeria, nobody really cares about the community. That's how it was, and that's how it is now. Moreover, everyone is interested in the treatment of hypertensive patients as long as possible and spends as much money as possible for that purpose.

You cannot buy Cardioton in a pharmacy, and corrupt doctors will not recommend it to you. And this, of course, is sad. There is a kind of medicine, which was developed by the leading institute of the country, but the chain of drug stores does not allow it to enter their stores because of their greedy attitude, they prefer to sell to the public medicines that give only temporary relief.

- But how can one be treated with this medicine if it cannot be bought?

This drug is not sold in pharmacies, but it can be ordered at the Institute of Cardiology, where it is now produced in limited quantities. But this also has advantages for Nigerian hypertensive patients. Since the Institute has no right to engage in commercial activities, Cardiotoncan be distributed throughout Nigeria at a minimal price.

- How to take Cardiotoncorrectly?

You need to take it strictly according to the instructions that come with the medicine. This medicine should be taken for 2 weeks, the time required for the vascular system to be completely cleared of cholesterol. Within 2-3 months after this, the condition of blood vessels and heart muscle will be normal. Blood pressure will stabilize within 1-2 weeks after cleansing, its decrease can already be noticed in the first few days of taking it, because cleansing occurs relatively quickly. During the first 1-3 days, almost 60% of cholesterol deposits are removed from the body, the rest in the following days. One will see significant results in their health almost immediately after starting to take Cardioton.

- Daniel, thank you for this interesting interview

- I am pleased. Hypertension is a very dangerous disease to suppress this information. Daily intake of strong drugs for hypertension is also dangerous, because it will damage the liver, kidneys, and thin the blood vessels themselves. Complete cure for this pathology is the best option. In about 95% of people, hypertension goes away on its own after undergoing vascular cleansing.

Availability and shortage of Cardioton

We know that the Nigerian Institute of Cardiology has indeed manufactured and distributed Cardioton in Nigeria ! However, due to the pandemic, the production of this drug has been stopped. Now the Institute is distributing the remaining batches that have been released, which are coming to an end. Cardiotonwill no longer be available soon.

The quick run out of stock is also due to Cardioton being ordered more often lately. Most likely, people know about themselves without a doctor from friends about the benefits of cleaning blood vessels in the treatment of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, if you want to try to clean the blood vessels to get rid of high blood pressure forever, make an order for Cardioton as early as possible, while this medicine is still available.
