Any information found on this website is strictly for educational and informational use only and is not at all intended to recommend treatment or diagnose disease or medical conditions. If you have a medical issue, you should seek the counsel of a qualified medical practitioner, doctor or physician.
We do not advocate one treatment over another or recommend that you take health matters in your own hands by self-diagnosing any condition or treating yourself without the benefit of checking with a doctor first.
With that said, there are plenty of documented studies and plenty of scientific research pointing to the benefits of natural medicine and plant based or plant derived products that can help to alleviate or eliminate symptoms of certain conditions.
There are clinical studies that have been done throughout the world on such things as Vitamin C, Aloe Vera and dozens of other botanical products. The medicinal properties of raw Garlic have been known for centuries as well as the anti-bacterial properties of honey, which has been used in biblical times for a wound healing agent.
Western medicine has helped save lives and many traditional treatments are vital and necessary to a person's health. However, there may be limitations to conventional treatments for cancer like chemotherapy and radiation. While I do not say that there is a cure for certain types of cancers, there are those people who have used alternative treatments like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and ozone therapy to help rid themselves of cancer. Why some studies have shown that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has helped stroke victims and those suffering from multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy.
Here are some sad facts of Alternative Medicine in the US:
The FDA promotes only pharmaceutical drugs and has a decades-long record of not approving, or even looking at, anything alternative. Again, this is the way of the world and you must face it.
In medical lawsuits, well-meaning but misinformed juries rule against doctors unless they've used conventional drugs, surgery and radiation.
Doctor's malpractice insurance won't cover them if they use "unapproved" alternatives.
Their state medical boards may fine them heavily, suspend their license to practice or even revoke it.
The FDA may do the same and confiscate patient records and medical equipment.
Doctors may lose their right to see their patients in hospitals.
Yet, to this day, thousands upon thousands of people stricken with all kinds of serious medical conditions have felt the inadequacy of traditional or conventional medicine and have sought out alternative treatments, whether they be approved by the AMA or FDA.
Whether it is Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic or Holistic Medicine, there are other therapies and natural approaches to diseases and many of them work better than the recommended protocols and without many of the harmful side effects.

They don’t need it !!!!!
there are a lot of rumours in african countries that contraception is bad for you so maybe there is a rumour about hiv testing being bad for you
Here are a few articles that might help:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/od/gap/countries/zimbabwe.htm
Because there is a big stigma attached to HIV/AIDS like back when gay people in US were ‘the baddies’.
It isn’t that they refuse it’s that in 9 out of 10 places the tests just aren’t available. These people are not stupid they’te just forgotten.
I know of a Zimbabwean lady who quite recently found out that she was HIV positive. I remember the agony of hearing her softly crying in her bed almost every night and I had no idea how to help. I was one of the people who had urged her to go for an HIv test because she was usualy sickly. After it was confirmed that she was, She absolutely broke down and was unconsolable. For her, at least going for an HIV test was not helpful at all. While I usually encourage people to go for these tests, I usually keep in mind that I should not judge them harshly if they choose not too, for nothing much can be done for them by the community to make sure that they live a positive life after the test unlike in developed countries. By the way this lady died a week ago and her memory is still fresh on my mind though I am miles away from her..
well , funny you ask this question , i am zimbabwean myself and i think that there are two sides to this coin as there is to everything . i think that it is a vague generalization that Zimbabweans dont like AIDS testing. i know many people that appreciate the worth of these tests and have embrassed the idea .on the other hand though yes there are people that dont like it as is the same all over the world. for many reasons of course , maybe the idea of facing reality scares us as human beings or it boils down to tradition were one does not feel thre need to.
at the end of the day i think that it all comes down to the individual and i can assure you its not just Zimbabweans that dislike the idea .
