AIDS is devastating Africa. Somewhere between 24 and 30 million Africans are infected
with HIV and 1.5 to 2 million die of AIDS each year. The disease has left 14 million children orphans. AIDS is one of the worst pandemics the world has ever seen.
Our solution to this problem is homeopathy.
By offering treatment that helps the immune system to fight the disease we are helping thousands of people get back their lives.
We don't claim to cure AIDS. But we do claim to help!
In the end we all die. What matters is the quality of life we have now.
Clinics
We have treated 2000 patients in clinics all over
Kilimanjaro region.
Patients report an increase in energy and well-being
and an improvement in the side effects of anti-retroviral treatment. With
homoeopathy we can treat most opportunistic infections and help reduce the occurrence
of malaria.
Maasai Village and School
After
handing over our day care centre, which is now sustainable, we turned our
efforts to a rural Maasai village where poverty and illness are rampant. The
village has suffered recently from severe draught and is in need of help. Even primary
health care doesn’t reach this remote area. We are helping to fund a school there
and visit frequently to give homeopathic care to the children and adults.
Hospitals
We are now working in two local hospitals, where we
are able to treat the most seriously ill AIDS patients. The doctors who have
observed the effectiveness of homeopathy are referring patients to us,
especially those who are in "treatment failure" and can’t be helped
by conventional medicine.
Training
We are making the project sustainable by sponsoring
three students at 4Kenia, a homoeopathy nursing school in Kwale, and creating a
course for village health workers and hospital professionals to learn
homoeopathy.
Volunteering
Volunteer homoeopaths come from all over the world
to visit, learn and help out in the clinics.
Homoeopathy
- Helping patients with AIDS in Africa
About AIDS
AIDS is devastating Africa. Estimates are that
somewhere between 24 and 30 million Africans are infected with HIV and 1.5 to 2
million die of AIDS each year The disease has left an estimated 14 million
children orphans. This problem is not confined to the African continent. AIDS
is one of the worst pandemics the world has ever seen. And though billions of
dollars are pouring into AIDS projects, in many countries things are only
getting worse. This situation needs a radical approach, and we believe
homoeopathy can play a substantial part in the solution.
About The Project
Our project has several objectives; 1) To treat as
many AIDS patients as possible, so as to relieve suffering 2) To develop a
homoeopathic understanding of the disease. This understanding should enable us
to list the homeopathic remedies which are most successful in treating AIDS. 3)
To make our project sustainable by spreading this knowledge and the related
remedies throughout Tanzania and Africa, so that local health practitioners
will be able to prescribe these remedies to large masses of people. 4) To
produce formal and ethical research on the treatment of AIDS with homoeopathy
so as to show the world what it is able to achieve. 6) To help with education
and nutrition as far as possible.
Our progress so far
We have opened several homoeopathy clinics in rural
Tanzania. As well as practicing in the clinics we have several outreach
programs, visiting patients home when they are too sick or poor to travel. We
have also opened a community centre for PLHA (People living with HIV/AIDS),
mainly widows who have no resources at all. Here we supply education, food
programs, exercise programs and a sense of community.
We have initiated several food projects to help
supply sustainable solutions to the problem of poverty and malnutrition. We
have supplied seeds for vegetables, chickens, pigs and a goat.
Once we are established we will invite more
homoeopaths to come to Tanzania to participate in the project. We aim to open
homoeopathic schools in Tanzania and help spread homoeopathy throughout
the whole of Africa, training doctors, homeopathic professionals, nurses and
local practitioners.
Our Associates
We have partnered with two local NGO’s : TREDO,
Tanzania Rural Education and Development Organization, and KACA, Kilimanjaro
AIDS Control Centre. They are very impressed with our results and supply us
with an endless stream of patients.
We have the support and endorsement from the
Ministry of Health and the local authorities. We are also working with several
eminent homoeopathic researchers, and have the support of Dr. Brian Berman at
the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Maryland, USA.
Why Homoeopathy
In many ways homoeopathy is the perfect medicine
for persons suffering from AIDS, and particularly in Africa. AIDS means
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Homoeopathy works by stimulating and
enhancing the immune system and therefore it is precisely in this disease that
homoeopathy can be most effective.
Homoeopathy is a system of medicine with an
outstanding record of cures, both in individual and epidemic diseases.
Homoeopathy was extremely effective in the great flu pandemic of 1918, and the
cholera epidemics of the 19th century. Homeopathy has proved
effective in yellow fever, whooping cough, polio, typhus, and malaria. Today,
homoeopaths all over the world are having very promising results with AIDS
patients, substantially improving their well being and restoring health.
While conventional medicine aims to fight the
virus, and is able to buy time for the patient, there is no radical change in
the underlying health. In effect, conventional medicine only supplies a
temporary relief, often at a great cost financially, and with many severe side
effects.
Homoeopathy is the safest and more reliable approach to
ailments and has withstood the assaults of
established medical practice for over 100 years

Why Africa
Homoeopathy is perfect for Africa because people of
Africa understand and respect natural systems of healing. It is not a
foreign intrusion on their way of thinking, but an integral part of their
belief system and culture. Homoeopathy is very affordable, even for the poorest
Africans, while orthodox drugs are expensive, and often unavailable.
Homoeopathy has no side effects, while the side effects of orthodox drugs can
be debilitating and severe. Homoeopathy is easy to teach at a basic level, so
that local doctors, nurses and healers can learn and use it to treat this
pandemic.
Why Tanzania
Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the
world. However, it is also one of the most future oriented countries in Africa,
with positive policies on alternative and traditional medicine, and in
particular on homoeopathy. When the Tanzanian government witnessed the radical
results of homoeopathy with malaria and other tropical diseases, they fully
embraced homoeopathy as one of the official medicines of Tanzania.
The Tanzanian government and academic institutions
are eager to support such projects as ours. They are looking for a way to make
a difference, and they recognize homoeopathy as one of these ways. Perhaps most
importantly, Tanzania is just about to open its first homoeopathic school,
which will form a base for our teaching project.
Tanzania has a history of a very successful pyramid
health system. When there were no doctors available in the early 1960's,
Tanzania trained local “barefoot doctors" under the supervision of
doctors. The aim was to make medicines available for all people. This system
was found to be highly efficient in spreading medicine throughout Tanzania, and
it is this system we seek to emulate.
Why Jeremy Sherr
Jeremy Sherr has practiced and taught homoeopathy for
29 years. He is well known throughout the world as an international lecturer,
and is head of the longest established post graduate course in the world.
Jeremy has taught homoeopathy in the USA, Europe, Canada, China, India, Japan,
Russia, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. He is the author of
several books and numerous articles on homoeopathy, has conducted various
research programs and developed homoeopathic software. Jeremy has a large base
of students, both doctors and professionals, who believe in the 'Homoeopathy
for Health in Africa’ project and are willing to join him in making it a
reality.

We believe that there is a possibility to make a
huge and substantial difference to the AIDS epidemic in Africa, to relieve
suffering and restore health. We believe that there is no disease or situation
that does not have an inherent solution. We believe that homoeopathic medicine
can bring about real change.
Homoeopathy is one of the most effective systems of
medicine known to man. You might ask why many people have not heard of
homoeopathy, yet the truth is that it is the most widely used alternative
medicine in the world, practiced by hundreds of thousands of doctors and
professionals world wide, supported by governments and loved by royalty and
celebrities. Homoeopathy has a huge body of literature, substantial positive
research and an excellent track record.
You may ask why homoeopaths are not out there
treating AIDS in Africa. The truth is that there are several successful
homoeopathic projects, yet nowhere near enough. Sadly, there is little funding
for research and clinics for any system of medicine other than conventional, so
that individual homoeopaths must bear the cost and burden of going it alone.
Yet wherever they go, they perform daily miracles.
.
Homoeopathy can make a difference, we can make a
difference. And you can be part of it!
Your help and support is much appreciated.
“History will surely
judge us harshly if we do not respond with all the energy and resources that we
can bring to bear in the fight against HIV/AIDS.”
