Negligence in healthcare goes beyond just mistakes in curative care. Millions of Nigerians die from preventable lifestyle-related chronic diseases. Doctors often neglect early signs of acidosis, acidic body pH, toxic build-up, and inflammation, which are root causes of chronic diseases.

They intervene only when it’s already metabolic acidosis, leading to kidney dysfunction, liver toxicity, and struggling lungs. Dehydration of cells is ignored, causing cells to become denatured and sometimes turn to pathogenic organisms like worms, viruses, fungus, bacteria, and tumors.

The underlying factors are ignored, and the body is bombarded with prescriptive drugs that have side and toxic effects. Medical negligence is not committing to continuous and consistent learning.

The Bigger Picture

– Chemical-loaded fertilizers used to produce food contribute to chronic diseases and cancer.
– Indiscriminate use of prescriptive drugs, antibiotics, hormones, and steroids is rampant.
– Our healthcare system needs a serious overhaul.

The Way Forward

Dr. Ifeyinwa Nwakwesi, a Growth Mindset and Integrative Lifestyle Specialist, advises women to start juicing for themselves and their families. “Don’t become a guinea-pig.”

We need to overhaul our healthcare systems, focusing on chronic disease prevention and vibrant health to reduce stress on medical doctors. Doctors are human beings and may not always be able to reverse the health crisis we bring to them.

Accountability and Change

There are no standards; some doctors have capacity and competence, while others lack it, leading to medical negligence and malpractice. We should take accountability and work towards a healthcare system that operates with wisdom and common sense.
