Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 P.M. News (Lagos) March 16, 2004 Posted to the web March 16, 2004 Lagos A herbal medical centre, Minalahi, has introduced a fibroid vaccine into the Nigerian market. Dr. Nasirudeen Adegbindin, founder of the centre, described the vaccine is an effective remedy for fibroids, staphylococcus, stroke and other life-threatening diseases. read the rest here: http://allafrica.com/stories/200403160593.html ************************************ This story is so incredulous that I thought to actually look up NAFDAC -- their equivalent of the FDA -- to try and determine what this vaccine is and verify the claims made in this story. Unfortunately, Nigeria is a hotbed of quackery and a bit of a war is currently being waged against NAFDAC. Their offices were burned to the ground within the past week. http://www.vanguardngr.com/articles/2002/cover/f213032004.html Their website also seems to be offline at this time. http://www.nafdacnigeria.org I could find no info via the internet on the Minalahi herbal center nor could I find info on Dr. Adegbindin. If he's created a vaccine, he did it in a vacuum cuz there's nothing on him anywhere online. With NAFDAC currently in ashes, the women of Nigeria are open targets and fair game for all sorts of shenanigans. The least of which may be a bogus vaccine for fibroids....

" You would think that if someone had developed this " vaccine " that is effective on so many diseases there would be quite a bit of press. Women of Nigeria beware.
