Nigerian Discovers Cure For Diabetes

[LaMonte Forthun]

Unfortunately, the headline of the newspaper claiming a cure wasn't accurate, nobody has claimed it's a cure, it's a treatment. There's a bit more to this than just drinking a tea made of bitter leaf though, as one poster mentioned, NIPRD worked on this for quite some time, so did Jos University. Dr. Nelson did try to find someone to market the product for him for awhile, but not every drug company wants to get involved in traditional medicines. There have been clinical trials and there will be more, in the US, under FDA guidelines. The organization that licensed it isn't a huge pharmaceutical company, it's a small Ayurvedic University in New Jersey run by the man that brought a traditional medicine for sickle cell product, NICOSAN(tm) to market after licensing it from NIPRD. Unfortunately, after he was falsely accused of a number of things and removed from his company, the new management drove the company into bankruptcy and now NICOSAN has been taken back by NIPRD. There's a fair bit of work that needs to be done, such as preparing the clinical data and reports for submission to NAFDAC (it's meant for the Nigerian market first, it'll be a while before it's taken any place else).

I got an email from Dr. Obyo Nelson two weeks ago.
Seems he needs $10,000 in order to continue his work. He offered to send me a certified check for a million dollars refundable in a year if I sent him the $10,000.
He said his patent would be worth one billion dollars once it's approved which would be in about a year.
I told him, sure, but he'd have to fly to the Cincinnati airport to pick up the money, that I'd be waiting on the tarmac with a brown paper bag stuffed with $10,000.
Haven't heard from the brother since.

the Nigerian scam is the biggest one going at present. I had an email from a Princess who would let me have a good percentage of $19 million if only I sent my bank account details and $2000. What generous people they are!

Nelson discovered nothing. His "cure" is simply an herbal treatment for diabetes Nigerian witch doctors have used for ages. His only great accomplishment was getting it patented, but even that was fake because the "cure" is a commonly found African bitter root.
In order to "patent" this freely growing root, Nelson concocted fake explanation of research, efficacy, etc. which was enough to get the patent.
That was five years ago. Since then neither the FDA, drug companies, medical and scientific journals have expressed any interest in the "cure" at all.
Quackery.
And that's what it is, folks -- pure quackery. A Nigerian internet scam done with a little more finesse ... just a little more.

this is like the "cure" for AIDS some Yemeni
witch doctor quack invented. It was made of prayers and herbs. The result was thousands of stupid moslems were "cured" and went home and infected thousands more people. Why are blacks so attracted to quacks and frauds? In the UK we are always hearing of Africans (mostly Nigerians) being ripped off for cures for "spells" or magic to make them richer.

<quoted text>Exactly! If these methods were used in the U.S. the economy would really be down. Remember at the end of Fire Below with Steven Seagull when the script said the U.S. has had a motor that runs with a 50mpg? If they produced that motor all hell would break out. Gas prices would soar astronomically!

please note - hollywood movies are NOT TRUE. also, many millions of cars can do 50 MPG. My C class Mercedes will manage that on a long run. You are a prize chump, and there is NO cure for AIDS in Italy. Also, his name is SEAGAL, not Seagull, you moron.
