What do I call the medical science?. It is a combination of roots from trees, leaves, flowers and some elements used by the native herbalist to cure all types of sickness and diseases. These are the local illiterate people from the remote parts of Africa, Asia, and the America.

When I was a kid, I use to spend my vacations in these remote places. There, people are cure without hospital. These people live a natural life; eat natural food, breath natural air without much worries of life. They live a longer live. The children bath swimming in rivers. They eat natural agric food; go for a walk inside bush amidst wild animals. They have their siesta in the open air; play games run and hide at night without electricity. In the remote parts of the world, children attend school walking to a long distance across farmlands and rivers. Indeed, walking is the world best sports. Live a natural life strengthen bones and veins. I can still remember when I had to walk over sixty miles to a village where my grand mum had some cattle. It was a great life experience, climbing mountains, escaping fierce bulls and poisonous snakes. My first day in a village was a dramatic one. I decided to meet the boys at farm because I was so lonely. On the way to the farm, I had to cross a river. When I got to the river’s bank there were many monkeys crossing down the river. I escaped screaming for help that there were lions at the river. It was my fist time to see monkey in large number. There is an uncountable part of wild animals and insects use for herbs. Dough, I am neither robust nor athletic, but I really had experienced what can make people stronger and athletic. Be an athletic is a vision, cultivating oneself towards a common goal. Who wants to be an angler not only has to move with anglers but also must learn how to. In my childhood, we used to escape from class with boys from our neighbourhood to go fishing or hunting. None of us today is a professional hunter. Life is not to live just the way we feel like. There are obligations, rules and regulations to follow, we either like or not.

In the developing world today, life is very different. Dough the objectives remain the same; the environment and development are incomparable. We live in largely populated areas. Children play with ready-made electronic games. They bath, go to school, have their breakfast, lunch and dinner in a more comfortable and advance way. Here, food need to be cultivated or made in other means more sophisticated to feed large population and make sure there is no shortage of it. We then have to control what we eat. The hospitals are building with advance technology and well trained doctors each with a particular sector. No patient needs to boil leaves or roots because the tabs and syndromes are already prepared. Some diseases are fast cure with roots and leaves too. all the same. Now the technology and science is more advance. The computer is build to keep files, pass information and solve problems faster than the human brain. While the traditional and herbalists from the remote parts of the planet do the same with spirit and witchcraft. They displace themselves in seconds to thousands miles without any means of modern transportation. They do not recognise trains or aircrafts.

Humans are wonderful, with different belief, culture, and religion we build our planet. In the modern world, people are more alert and strait. People are not ready to have kids because of expenses and difficulties they may encounter. Houses are building to live well-prepared ones. Expenditure ranges from breathing air to the grave. In the remote parts, it is a blessing to have children. You can really visit people without invitations. You sleep and eat where you want. There is a limit sight of what one’s future is supposed to be. No worries like nuclear weapons, luxury cars and glass building. The only problem is Aids; no native herbalist is able to find solution successfully. Nevertheless, the remote parts of some countries are safe from Aids if it is only through sex.
