MEDICAL CENTRE TREATS MORE CHRONIC DISEASES (PAGE 36)

FORTY per cent of all reported cases in hospitals in the country are from previous administration of drugs as drug intake contributes to the accumulation of impurities and waste in the body, Dr Sidawi, a medical practitioner has stated.
Dr Sidawi, who has practised alternative medicine for 25 years, said disease problems could not be solved without the cleansing of the colon, a waste disposal organ in the body, through chronic irrigation.
He was speaking at a workshop organised by the Golden Jubilee Medical Centre at Sogakope in the Volta Region.
The Golden Jubilee Medical Centre “SPA” of the Villa Cisneros Hotel at Sogakope in the South Tongu District in the Volta Region now offers various therapies for the treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes and other chronic diseases.
This follows the engagement of a holistic medical practitioner, Dr Frank Sidawi, barely a year after the Minister of Health, Major Courage Quashigah (retd), had inaugurated the centre, whereby he declared Sogakope as a health tourism centre in the country.
Dr Sidawi, who is the medical director of the SPA, has scope of practice in physical therapies covering therapeutic massages-reflexology, Tui Na, Acupressure, Sokushindo, Arothematherapy, Yoga, Magnetic therapy, naturopathy, juice/nutrition/megavitamin therapy, oxygen/ozone therapy, hydrotherapy and herbal medicine.
Others are emotional and mental therapies covering advanced pranic healing, Bach Flower Remedies, Crystal Healing and meditation therapy.
Under a colonic irrigation, the body would undergo consultation, full body massage, reflexology and aromatherapy in addition to the cleaning of the liver to prevent it from getting into coma.
Dr Sidawi, therefore, said the SPA concept relied on water or fluid therapies with the combination of natural biological medicines such as herbs, vitamins and minerals, compatible foods and phyto-nutrients to set the tone for the reconstruction or regeneration of the body.
Dr Sidawi said the nation was putting too much emphasis on pharmaceutical drugs although they were poisonous to the body, adding that someone with a kidney problem needed not to take more drugs but had to undergo a detoxification dialysis at the SPA for a remedy.
Dr Sidawi appealed to the National Health Insurance Authority to provide access to alternative medicine to make it possible for those afflicted with chronic diseases to seek care at the SPA.
A beauty therapist at the SPA, Miss Calista Damelda, said the application of cosmetics on clients was technical, adding that the environment was taken into consideration before make-ups were applied.
According to her, many clients visited the SPA during the weekends and left in a good state of mind to begin the ensuing week on a healthy note.
