Is my husband loosing his libido?

Read Time:59 Second

Dear Bunmi,

I am 52 and my husband is five years older. Our sex life used to be average but, lately, he finds it difficult to sustain an erection – sometimes he can’t even get one, in the first place. As it is now, we have not had sex for months, though we both want to.

Is this normal for older men?

Feyi, by e-mail.

Dear Feyi,

Your husband is maybe suffering from what is known as erectile dysfunction, ED, which medical reports say affects one in 10 men. It was once thought to be a normal part of ageing, but physical conditions can also contribute.

Diabetes is a cause. Others include poor blood flow to the penis from furred-up nerve damage, drug abuse, medication, alcoholism, smoking, high cholesterol, diseases affecting erectile tissue and neurological and severe chronic diseases. Most importantly, Stress, lack of Finance,  worry about sexual performance, depression and sexual boredom can be factors too.

At 57, your husband still has a lot of sexual mileage in him.  His doctor can make sure there are no physical causes for his current impotence.  Most men can be treated with tablets such as Viagra.

You may say goodbye to diabetes thanks to a new pill that reverses type 2 diabetes, normalises blood sugar levels, and doesn’t require insulin!

Read Time:20 Minute, 9 Second

Dear friend,

If you want a 100% natural treatment, that naturally fight diabetes, normalizes blood sugar and reverses type 2 diabetes without depending on prescription drugs or insulin injections, then this short message will show you how.

Here’s the full details:

Within few weeks, I was able to slash 80points from my fast rising blood sugar, using a special “Diabetes Reversal Remedy” that saved me from amputations, constant fear, anxiety and pain due to my type 2 diabetes.

The diabetes breakthrough you are about to discover on this page is twice as effective as the leading type 2 drug at normalizing blood sugar, fixing insulin resistance, stopping neuropathy pain, preventing blindness, amputations and other diabetes problems.

The herbal remedy have been used successfully by over 2,300 Nigerian men and women, and it have helped type 2 diabetics eliminate the need for drugs and insulin injections while helping type ones greatly reduce their drug and injection dosages.

Without wasting time, here’s the full story: My name is Mrs. Mary, and for several years, I was battling with type 2 diabetes.

For these 7 years, I always had to worry about which foods would spike my blood sugar, so I was always cautious about the foods I eat.

But aside that my normal daily routine was that:

– I had to prick my fingers with painful and expensive lancets…
– I was constantly anxious and stressed about maintaining my weight, and tracking my blood sugar…
– I spent quite some good amount of money on insulin every month.

It all got worse one day, when I collapsed in the towers of the ministry where I worked as a public servant in Abuja.

It was like a shock to every one of our colleagues. I was rushed to the hospital, and our doctor confirmed that my type 2 diabetes has gotten to a critical stage, that I was at risk of being amputated.

I can still recall the tears in the eyes of my children, and the grief my husband felt when he heard the news that my type 2 diabetes has deteriorated my health, and I could be amputated within few months.

After I was discharged from the hospital, I decided to start searching for an alternative cure that could help reverse my type 2 diabetes or at least improved my health a little.

If you are tired of being lied to and you are ready to finally learn the truth about this disease and find out how tens of thousands of type 2 diabetics completely reversed their diabetes, normalized their blood sugar and were taken off all medication and injections, then read on.

During several month of research in getting a natural treatment for my type 2 diabetes, I came in contact with an old time friend, who was also a health consultant. 

He recommended a herbal remedy that have been used by over 2,300 Nigerian men and women to reverse their type 2 diabetes and normalize their blood sugar level after completing their therapy.

He assured me that the herbal supplements were NAFDAC Approved, have no side effects and works effectively to reverse type 2 diabetes in the shortest time possible.

At first, I was skeptical after spending so much on drugs and medications.

But my husband advised we give it a trial. I started using them, 2 capsules morning and 2 capsules in evening before meals. Also, I drank the herbal tea that came with it 1 tea bag morning and evening.

In few weeks of using it, I noticed my blood sugar level became normal, and I didn’t need any insulin injections.

The herbal supplements helped me boost my metabolism and made my Diabetes never come back.

To ensure I had really breakthrough from type 2 diabetes, I schedule an appointment with my Doctor, for another test before the surgery.

When the test results came out, he was surprised at the results he got. My blood sugar level was very low. He asked me if I changed my diet or what exactly did I do to reverse my serious case of type 2 diabetes.

I explained to him how I came about the herbal remedy which I will show you in few minutes.

From then on, he decided to recommend this diabetes destroyer supplements to every one of his diabetic patients with a severe case.

The joy of my husband, I and the kids knew bounds. It was like a miracle.

My type 2 diabetes had disappeared, I no longer had to worry about the kinds of foods I ate, or having to bear the pains of sticking myself with insulin needles. I no longer felt tired easily, or worried about being a burden to my family.

Of course, we were very happy… but we decided to do something special that could save the life of thousands of people suffering from diabetes.

We decided to tell as much friends, families and church members about our new discovery that reverses diabetes and normalize blood sugar/glucose level.

Everyone of them that we shared our discovery with came back and were marveled at the results they got, they were able to defeat diabetes using this natural herbal remedy.

5 out of 5 came back happily about how it reverse their type 2 diabetes, restored their blood sugar levels to normal, and they gladly recommended it to their relatives as well.

Today, I want you to be among one of the very few people in Nigeria who know how to Defeat Your Type 2 Diabetes…

Without wasting time, let me show you the exact herbal remedy I used to reverse diabetes, repair pancreas, and helps you eliminate your medications forever…

UG capsules mainly contains herbal extracts: spondias mombin 50%, euphorbia hirta 35% and Allium sativum 15%

Research scientists have proven that spondias mombina medicinal plant have been evaluated to successfully treat diabetic patients.

The main reason this is possible is due to the peak hypoglycemic effect of spondias mombin, hence which justifies its use for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Another consituent of UG capsules, Euphorbia hirta, is an herbal extract found in india and Australia. It is also known to have the same hypoglycemic effect, and have been in use for many years as traditional medicine for diabetes. It’s also used for diabetic wound healing.

But after several years, the medications were becoming too expensive and useless for me.

Let me ask you… what’s something like this worth?

What would you give to have your life back again, without the fear and pain of diabetes?

To know that you’ll never have to stick yourself with a lancelet ever again?

UK: Half of new nurses and midwives come from abroad

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 42 Second

Nearly half of the new nurses and midwives registered to work in the UK in the past year have come from abroad.

The total – more than 23,000 – is a record high and comes as the UK has struggled to increase the number of home-grown nurses joining the register.

Nurse leaders questioned whether international recruitment on this scale was sustainable.

The Nursing and Midwifery Council data for 2021-22 also showed the numbers leaving the profession had risen.

More than 27,000 left the register last year, up 13% on the year before and reversing a downward trend in leavers over recent years.

In many ways this was always expected as significant numbers of staff put off retirement to help out in the emergency phase of the pandemic.

And retirement was certainly the main factor – more than four in 10 cited this – although nearly one in five also blamed too much pressure.

Overall the numbers on the register, which also includes a small number of nursing associates, rose by nearly 26,500 to more than 758,000, the highest number ever. One in five are from abroad.

Nearly all of the international recruits that have arrived in the past year were trained in countries from outside Europe – before Brexit, Europe supplied more than the rest of the world. India and the Philippines are the countries which are supplying the most.

The register covers those qualified to work in the UK – it is not the same as the numbers working in the NHS. Currently, around one in 10 nursing posts are unfilled.

Nursing and Midwifery Council chief executive Andrea Sutcliffe said it was “good news” that the register was at the highest level ever, given the pressures of the past two years.

But she added that there were some “warning signs”, saying the numbers leaving because of work pressure was troubling.

And she said the extent to which the UK had become reliant on internationally trained staff was another “note of caution”.

“These professionals make a welcome and vital contribution, but we can’t take them for granted.”

She said the supply of international recruits could always be disrupted by global events or even another pandemic.

Royal College of Nursing general secretary Pat Cullen questioned the sustainability and ethics of such a level of recruitment from abroad, and called for increased investment in domestic training and better pay for staff.

The government said the NHS followed ethical recruitment practices, by not recruiting from a red list of countries which have declared shortages of health care staff.

All parts of the UK have set out plans to increase the number of nurses and midwives in the NHS.

There are signs that is having an impact on domestic supply routes. The overall number of nurses currently in training has started to rise after the reintroduction of some funding support for student nurses in England in 2020, three years after bursaries were scrapped.

In theory that should boost the domestic supply route.

Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the overall rise in nurse numbers was pleasing – and continued progress would help England achieve the government’s manifesto promise to recruit 50,000 more nurses by 2024.

“I’m determined to continue growing the workforce,” he added.

UK: NMC to consider accepting employer English language references

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 19 Second

The NMC is considering accepting employer English language references as part of a proposed overhaul of requirements for overseas applicants.  

At a meeting on 26 May, the Council will consider approving a consultation on proposed changes to the NMC’s English language requirements, with a view to implementing any resulting changes from October this year. 

It plans to consult on three specific changes – the scores it accepts for language tests, whether it can accept evidence of non-registered practice in English supported by an employer reference or other evidence, and whether it can accept non-nursing or midwifery postgraduate qualifications taught and examined in English. 

It also plans to consult on whether the English language requirements should be the same for internationally trained nurses, nursing associates and midwives.   

The NMC currently accepts three types of English language evidence – recent achievement of the required score in accepted English language tests; completion of a pre-registration nurse, midwife or nursing associate programme that was taught and examined in English, and included clinical interaction in English; and recent practice for one year in a majority English-speaking nation. 

However, it said over the last year it has received ‘a considerable amount of critical stakeholder feedback’ to its approach in a listening event with stakeholders in November, a Public Voice Forum in March, and formed an external advisory group to help inform potential changes. 

Feedback included that the minimum standard to be achieved in the English language tests is ‘too high’ and that there is a ‘lack of supervised support, or lack of time to access support, to help prepare for English language tests,’ the NMC said.  

Other feedback included that, ‘as there is a workforce crisis in health and social care, we should reduce our required test standards and accept alternative evidence,’ said the NMC. 

The regulator said that while staffing shortages are ‘important context,’ they are ‘not a determinative factor,’ and ‘it is essentially the requirements set give assurance that applicants have the knowledge of English necessary for safe and effective practice in the UK.’ 

There has also been ‘an increase in successful appeals by applicants,’ it added. 

The NMC summarized: ‘We think there is more we can do to be flexible in the types of evidence we accept, which would still allow us to have confidence that everyone on our register has the necessary knowledge of English.’ 

The nursing and midwifery regulator last reviewed its requirements in 2019 and accepts ‘there may be a case for change’, proposing to launch an eight-week public consultation in June, with final proposals made to Council in September, in order to implement any changes from October.

‘Whilst we want to ensure the register is accessible, all those on the register must demonstrate they have the necessary knowledge of English to be capable of safe and effective practice,’ the NMC said. 

‘We must manage two competing risks. One is that we require evidence that is disproportionately difficult and therefore prevents qualified applicants from joining the register, thus exacerbating the shortage of professionals. The other is that we set our requirements too low and risk allowing applicants onto the register who are not capable of safe and effective practice.’ 

Gail Adams, Head of Professional Services at Unison, said the union ‘welcomes the NMC review,’ and that ‘it’s long overdue and has not maintained pace with demand.’ 

She said Unison has seen ‘a significant increase’ in cases being referred to its specialist unit for representation following the rejection of their NMC applications to join the register on the English language requirement. The fact all have been upheld, she said, ‘demonstrates the assessment is not working and is possibly wasting unnecessary time, energy and registrants’ money. 

‘We are committed to working with the NMC on this issue, but cannot stress too strongly the urgent need for action.’ 

The proposal to accept evidence of non-registered practice in English supported by either a reference from the relevant employer or other evidence ‘marks the biggest area of change in terms of current requirements,’ the NMC said, and ‘would provide assistant registrars with further information to consider and could reduce the number of appeals.’ 

Matthew McClelland, executive director of strategy and insight for the NMC, said: ‘Of all health and care professionals, nurses, midwives and nursing associates spend the most time with patients and people who use services. Effective communication is essential to delivering the safe, effective and kind care that people have a right to expect. 

‘We’re grateful to everyone who’s already shared their initial views, which have helped shape the options we’re proposing to consult on. We look forward to hearing more from the public, employers and our professionals to make sure our processes are fair and reliable for everyone.’

Read Time:1 Minute, 38 Second

Herbal Pro, an herbal solution company that focuses on providing prevention and improvements to the most prevalent illnesses and diseases through herbal products is set on improving the health of Nigerians by providing easy access to health-related information via Nigeria’s first online health and wellness newsletter.

A previous study by Herbal Pro Limited showed that 89% of people suffering from high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are either overweight or obese. The study also observed that people within the proper BMI (Body Mass Index) tend to manage and recover faster than those who are overweight.

A previous research by Herbal Pro pointed to the lack of insight about healthy living as one of the causes of obesity in Nigeria and the introduction of the online newsletter is aimed at providing information and advice on how to improve health through healthy living.

There has been a significant increase in the level of Internet usage in Nigeria. The internet is a key avenue for researching and passing on information. Being a company that is into health and wellness, we would like to use the newsletter as another avenue to educate, inform and advise Nigerians on how best to live a healthy life. We believe that a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to reducing cases of illnesses.”

He also stated that subscribing to the newsletter is free. All you need to do is contact Herbal Pro via the phone numbers on the Herbal Pro website or via EZSlimNG social media handles.

Being obese or overweight exposes us to a lot of health-relatedissues. I advise every Nigerian to take healthy living seriously.

 

Herbal Pro is also looking at starting up new initiatives such as the introduction of other herbal remedies aimed at improving health and wellness and a contact center where people can speak with nutritionists, health and wellness coaches for free.

Wellbeing Foundation Africa Supports Kilimanjaro Expedition to Raise Funds for Internally Displaced Persons in Nigeria

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 33 Second

The Wellbeing Foundation Africa is pleased to announce our sponsorship of the Climb With Remi. We are sponsoring one brave climber headed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, in support of women, children, and elderly people in Nigeria’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps.

Committed to alleviating the plight of the estimated 3.3 million internally displaced persons (IDP) in Nigeria, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa, led by Mrs. Toyin Saraki, is proud to be a sponsor of the “Climb with Remi” expedition – a daring initiative where six Nigerian women climb to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa, to amplify global attention towards the needs of internally displaced persons in Nigeria, most particularly women, children and the elderly.

Led by Mrs. Remi Abere, the expedition up the Kilimanjaro Mountain will raise fund for IDPs in Nigeria and create awareness around the challenges facing those who have been displaced due to conflict. In addition to Mrs. Remi Abere – a fifty year old mother of five, the six-woman delegation selflessly embarking on the seven-day climb include wife of Ogun State governor, Mrs. Funsho Amosun and three-term House of Representatives member, Hon. Mrs. Abike Dabiri-Erewa.

To empower women in need, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa’s ‘Maternal Monday’ Campaign specifically delivers traction in reproductive, maternal newborn, child and adolescent health goals from pregnancy, immunisation, breastfeeding and nutrition to adolescence and womanhood; focusing on the prevention of child marriage, retention of girls in education, and eradication of gender violence. The Maternal Monday Campaign also focuses on the changing health needs of older women – who are often marginalized within healthcare systems in Africa.

Recent research has shown that older people are vulnerable to malnutrition in humanitarian contexts. Due to their age, they have specific nutritional needs such as easily digestible and palatable food. In famine and displacement, where people are dependent on food distribution, older people often have difficulty accessing the distribution, or difficulty transporting rations home. Despite these unique vulnerabilities, older people are neglected as a group in need of specific nutritional or food assistance.

Commending Mrs. Abere for her bravery and dedication to providing hope and support to the millions of women and children in IDP camps in Nigeria, Mrs. Toyin Saraki has urged women around the world to work together to empower other women, thereby contributing to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 3, whose objective is to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all.”

Earlier this year, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa team, led by Mrs. Saraki, and Her Excellency Mrs. Aisha Buhari visited the Damare IDP camp and St Joseph’s Catholic Mission in Adamawa State to donate safe delivery kits “Mama Kits” and other nutritional/medicinal products in order to address the maternal health challenges facing displaced mothers in Nigeria.

By sponsoring a “Climb with Remi” climber and creating awareness of the initiative, the Wellbeing Foundation Africa aims to give internally displaced persons a hope for a brighter, healthier future

NAFDAC impounds fake skin bleaching creams, soaps in Lagos

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 33 Second

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, yesterday impounded fake and substandard fast moving skin lightening cream, bating soaps as well as serum worth millions of Naira in Lagos even as it sealed three shops in connection with the offensive products.

The fake products identified as Q7 Range of products impounded during the Agency’s raid exercise at the Lagos Trade Fair complex includes; Q7 Whiteniser body milk strong treatment, Q7 Carotte Multi- active Whitening Serum, Ndak Q7 Whitening body lotion with manufacturing dates: 07/2015 and expiry dates: 06/2020 and Q7 Gold soap among others.

The impounded products originally registered with NAFDAC by ‘Visible Image Cosmetics Nigeria Limited’, were said to have been brought into the country through yet to be identified illegal source. The bubble however busted when the company petitioned NAFDAC about the presence of the offending products in some shops and warehouse at the Trade Fair market complex.

Addressing journalists shortly after the raid exercise, the Chief Enforcement Officer, Mr. Idowu confirmed that the operation became necessary following reports by Visible Image Cosmetics Nigeria Limited about the presence of the offending products in the markets. Joseph noted that already the Agency has evacuated the alleged injurious products and sealed the shops as well as invited the shop owners for further interrogations.

He further explained that the products, were impounded because they were unregistered and from illegal source.  “We are removing from the market Q7 range of products suspected to be fake. The agency had registered Q7 range of products with NAFDAC numbers on them from what we are seeing from the products evacuated, you can see that NAFDAC number is not on them and they are coming from unauthorised source.

Joseph said “We have given them invitation to report on Monday and have sealed the shops.  We expect them to tell us how and where they get the products from.  As soon as the owners opened up, we will send the products to the laboratory for further analysis to ascertain the genuineness of the products after which the agency will take a decision.

He disclosed that following the petition of the original brand owners of the products, NAFDAC would continue to mop up the products anywhere it was found.

On the health implications of the products, Joseph who regretted that the products could be injurious to health said: “Any product registered and tested by NAFDAC has been certified to be fit for consumers.  These products contain injurious substances that are harmful to the skin; and if allowed into the market people will be buying products that can cause health hazards.

He regretted that despite the enlightenment campaigns, consultative meetings, sensitisation workshops and other methods adopted over the years to discourage importation, distribution, sales and consumption of these products, people continued to engage in such business.

The Enforcement officer, asked for the cooperation of members of the public to assist to expose the major importers and distributors of these outlawed products and their warehouse.
