crocodile Chief Mwanachingwala of Mazabuka has called on the Ministry of Health to consider allowing HIV patients to be taking Anti Retro-Viral drugs (ARVs)together with crocodile fats which he claims to be equally a treatment for HIV and AIDs.

The Chief told his subjects during a Ministry of Information sponsored HIV and Aids sensitisation meeting held at his palace yesterday that some people living with HIV were responding well to treatment using crocodile fats because the ‘medicine’ was effective.

He claimed that his subjects, who were using crocodile fats as treatment, had been cured of the disease.

“I know the people that are taking crocodile fats instead of ARVs and are responding to treatment except I can not reveal their names. So apart from ARVs, the crocodile fats can also cure HIV and Aids,” said Chief Mwanachingwala amid cheers from his subjects.

The Chief observed that there is need for the Ministry of Health to seriously consider carrying out laboratory tests to ascertain his claims to save many lives especially those that are disadvantaged by long distances to the district hospitals administering ARVs treatment.

And Chief Mwanachingwala has called on the Ministry of Health to consider upgrading some rural health centres in his chiefdom to administer ART treatment to lessen problems faced by his subjects.

The Chief said long distances, coupled with lack of good nutrition, were frustrating the fight against the pandemic.

Meanwhile, village headmen in Chief Mwanachingwala’s area have urged the government to provide them with bicycles to enable them effectively contribute to the fight against HIV and AIDs.

Speaking on behalf of the village headpersons, headman Mpikwa said without addressing the mobility problems and food rations for people living with HIV, traditional rulers would find it difficult to join hands in the fight against the pandemic.

“We urge government to provide us with bicycles and food for people living with the pandemic. All these should be given to traditional rulers because they are the ones who are living with their subjects suffering from the disease,” said headman Mpikwa.

The headman also took a swipe at some Non Governmental Organisations championing the fight against HIV and AIDS who were in the habit of conducting HIV tests and abandoning people who tested positive without giving them advice on what to do next.

He complained that some people who tested positive need care, love and also income-generating activities to help them meet some of their basic needs as they undergo treatment.

  1. The AIDS virus was
    created by man. Intentionally. The AIDS epidemic was designed with specific goals in mind and carried
    out according to plan.

    • Aids-Created by Man.On 11-05-1987,the London Times printed a very powerful article in which it accused the world health organisation(WHO),of setting off the Aids epidemic through its mass smallpox innoculation in Africa and other third world countries during 1960’s.

    • Although the article appeared to be well-reseached,others went further and discovered that it was not these innoculation that were resposinble at all.
      In an artcle entitled “WHO murdered Africa” by William Campbell Douglass,the writer points out “that the tile of this article is not a question but a statement

    • The news papers in Australia and New Zealand comfirmed that the Aids virus did not come from the Green Monkey in Africa.Many experts say it was created in the laboratory by combining the two deadly retroviruses i.e.the bovine leukaemia virus from the cow-(BLV),and the visna virus from the sheep.The BLV is present in dairy herd in New Zealand and other countries.The papers reported that the belief is that the virus was imported into our country through Friesia cow and has been spread through vaccination using the same needle on each cow

    • I thought and hearsay has it that the scientist came from America? and that the whole project was carried out on Gorillas in Congo/Zaire? This is news….
      life is a learning curve…
      and you, 1884, are a real genius..

      a real geniuee in a bottle…

    • 1984, your conspiracy theories sound interesting. Any Website I can check more information from. Let’s share knowledge bro’. I like inteligent discourse.

    • Let the chief prove it. The Zambian Government should said some experts who should inject the Virus in the Chief. Then let him take the Medicine and he will be tested again to see if the Virus is no long in his system. Let us just see how the Chief reacts when confronted by my proposal. Talk is Cheap. If the Chief is right then Zambia will have the copyright of the long awaited cure of HIV. Then we can be sure of coming out of the economic crisis victoriously with the funds we would generate by selling this cure to the whole world.

    • You don’t want to table the chiefs proposition. Would you rather have some Stanford/Oxford degree wielding white doctor first tell you that before you can entertain it?

      Instead of suggesting that the chief should receive the virus, why not suggest that samples of the croc fats be taken for testing in a western lab to ascertain their active ingredients

    • Mwebekala chalo! At this point it doesnt matter where the virus came from. It is how to get rid of this ferocious Virus.

  2. “He claimed that his subjects, who were using crocodile fats as treatment, had been cured of the disease.

    “I know the people that are taking crocodile fats instead of ARVs and are responding to treatment except I can not reveal their names. So apart from ARVs, the crocodile fats can also cure HIV and Aids,” said Chief Mwanachingwala amid cheers from his subjects.”

    Is it curing the DISEASE? Or curing diseases associated with the AIDS (Syndrome) and the HIV that compromises someone’s immunite?

    I really need a clarification to these my concerns.

  3. Ba Chief fimo fimo, dont mislead your subjects. They will end up being chewed and eaten by crocs. If that were the cure, you think we wouldnt know?

    • I hav equally heard abt the fats but i believe they cure STDs and other disease not AIDS. But balapola ukuchila ama HVs (ARVS). And these pipo tht sell these things r crooked,selling the same fats at 250pin per teaspoon…..And yet ARVs r free

    • You need to be specific mama. Not just saying “other diseases”. Which ones? These fats are just traditional remedies like any other. Wabufi uyu Chief Mwana shani uko. There is no cure for AIDS. Chapwa. If he had an STI and he got cured, well good for him, but he must learn to distinguish AIDS as a condition and an STI in isolation.

    • you people if a white man from the US comes and says croc fat can cure Aids or slow down replication of the virus, you will all believe and Praise God for the cure.This chief is telling you he has seen something and you laugh at him the same way you laughed at KK when he said you can produce oil from grass.Now Americans are talking of biofuels and producing oil from different grasses. I guess thats why we believe David Livingstone discovered the Victoria falls when the tongas had the falls in their backyard for hundreds of years. Just get the scientists to get out croc fat before jumping to conclusions.After all, we know fish oils are very healthy why not crocs?

    • Point of defence: I said i have heard abt the fats and tht thry cure STIs and other diseases but not AIDS…… This same croc fat is quiet expensive,its K250,000,000 per teaspoon and as u hav said,it slows down the replication of the virus and cures it at an early stage before it spreads.For yo info,its been taken to the lab by UTH Drs and its effective and cures several sexual related diseases.

    • Totally agree with you bob doe (funny name). That’s the problem with black munthu. Until anyone light skinned confirms it, then it’s real. What’s wrong with you people of dark skin colour? How the hell did you guys survive before David Livingstone? Come on, Support the chief in his persuit to save his people and help him patent his remedy if it proves to work. Shaaa.

    • Thank to dr. cuba for his good work I really believe HIV have cure I was HIV positive over since 1year plus before I come across a comment dr.cuba that he have cure to any disease and virus but when I saw it i have it in mind that he can’t cure HIV I just decided to give a try I contact him that night lucky to me he said yes but I don’t believe him I think it was a scam or some thing like that but I still hold on to see the work of dr.cuba if he is saying the true he ask for different things and some question about me I give him all the detail he needed and I wait to see his reply to my problem after all the things is done he ask me to go for check up I went for hiv test I cant believe I was negative the midical doctor was surprasie and doctor even ask for dr cuba email which i give to him

  7. What happened to that potato which made headlines some time back as the cure for AIDS? Is it no longer working?

  8. Imwe bantu, Crocs will now be wiped out like rhinos and elephants. The president of Gambia said he has the cure. This is the cure: Get married. Stick to your wife.

  9. Here there is nothing to argue about. That’s why medical Researchers are there Let them carry out an experiment on this issue. The chief may be wrong or right. Medical Researchers in Zambia, don’t just doze, here is a research question. Answer it and tell us the results. We will be waiting patiently.

  10. This is an hypothesis from Mwanachingwala. ‘ Maestro’ you are the genius can some one take up the research and prove this don’t just rush to the conclusion.

  11. Ther is no cure for HIV/AIDS.
    This belief will take us no where.One can benefit Quality Of Life from ARVs and basically thats it. These fats from crocodiles probably and may be, can be an alternative support to these ARVS as one never has to cease taking these ARVs. I am not discouraging ‘hope’ to those affected with this deadly disease which has come to stay..

    • Hi Ba Honey and thanks,
      Long time no hear.
      This HIV/AIDS Taboo and belief will claim so many lives as desperate minds always go to extremes….
      Meanwhile unscrupious money making machines (quacks) are making a big gain…Life is not fair sometimes…….

  12. Crocodile fats(soon the crocs will be wiped out), having sex with minors,the African Potato, Lifebouy(according to Jacob Zuma), Ludwig Sondashi’s formula!!!Please!!I think until there is medical support all these claims about the “cure for AIDS” are just bull!!Hopefully the ppl in the Medical field have not given up research on this pandemic!!

    • I wouldn’t mind if crocs were wiped out of rivers.. they eat humans ka!. they always scared me from childhood and I got so scared of swimming in rivers as the idea of crocs was always on the back of my mind….
      Apologies to animal rights activists, no offense meant.

    • Thenjiwe Stevens!!
      That is a rather shallow comment!!Croc’s alone are a tourist attraction if they are wiped out how will the tourism industry raise money? We all have our phobias but it doesn’t mean that should justify the hunting of animals, otherwise there would be no animals alive!!Just because some1 is scared of chickens it doesn’t mean we should get up in arms and kill all chickens!! You ddnt have to reply to my comment if you nada to say..Muleikala fye!

    • I already echoed my sentiments and sorries. I repeat… sorry to all animal lovers.. forgot about tourists….get it???

      My daughter will never eat a live chicken because she will give it a name before it is slaughtered.. So there are different sorts of feelings in people. Na imwe bene kuti mwaikalafye..bane , no damage noted…

      I said it before hand that no offense meant.. no need for for you to comment offensively. Your opinion like mine should be regarded with due respect.

    • HI BABY C, I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU GUYS THAT I WAS NOT READY FOR THE CHANGES LT MADE, I SUPPOSE CHANGE IS NOT THAT BAD AFTER ALL, HOW ARE YOU DOING?

    • The proof is already there, people are getting better by using croccodile fats claimed the chief. May where the chief is wrong is not knowing between treatment of symptoms and curing of the disease.

    • Maybe if there is a word in AIDS/HIV called ‘remission’ one can believe that thats what happens when this ‘crocodile fat’ goes to work. Otherwise HIV/AIDS is a viral infection, remember…..????

      No cure, pronto!!!

    • hiv is a virus while aids is a syndrome. i nwould be interested to know how a single virus causes a syndrome

    • U HAVENT MISSED ANYTHING,LT IS DEAD BORING,MOST OF US APPEAR WHEN SUCH TOPICS AS THIS ONE COMES IN….OTHERWISE THER ARE TIMES THAT U FIND ONLY ONE PERSON BLOGGING FROM NUMBALA 1 – 10,ITS ROUGH MWEEEEE…………..NO GREETINGS

  15. The claims might not be truth ,but we need a report from Ministry of health to provide information on the effective of crocodile fats in treating HIV/AIDS patients.

  16. Out of all the cure claims for AIDS we have heard, has there been anyone who has been cured & came in the open to so declare?

    • Nkosi,
      We await that day. meanwhile many are perishing before our eyes….
      Mnay who will openly come out are those who are on treatment to prolong their lives and are benefitinfg a

    • Nkosi,
      oops.. meant many who come out in the open are on treatment in order to prolong their lives and are benefiting from ARVS ( did not edit before the posting disappeared) sorry..

  17. crocs have strong immune system, that is why even when the have their vicious fights in the rivers they dont die but heal so quickly. i read an article about how Australian scientist could try to make usable croc blood for cure of the virus. you people maybe i can clearly explain to you this but its true, i think there is some component that can be made to cure the virus.
    I South Africa there is a cream called REPCILLIN (made from croc fats). its very good for burns and sores. Kalaza,

  18. TO EVRYONE ON LT HONEY IS BACK WITH A BANG, I WENT TO SEE THOSE TWO BIG GIRLS DORA AND MAUREEN . BUT WITH NO LUCK. THERE IS MORE

    • Are these or were these two, friends/pals before this revelation?? Iam just being curious.

    • Awe kanshi fya sasa, nafilula for Maureen.
      Women easily reveal each others weaknesses in such instances. Talking from experience my dear.
      Maureen ali mu chibe kanshi, because Dora will do whatever it takes to exonerate herself and not die alone in this saga.

      Nkhani ya yamba kunzuna manje… so juicy indeed….

  19. What nosense.We heard first African Potato then Sondashi fomular and all sorts of rubish.such that patients even abandom life prolonging ARV treatments. We must discourage at all cost such claims from SANGOMAs we are just making them rich through falsehood.

  21. Instead of arguing and debating about this, why dont we allow researchers to test it themselves and give us the results…

    We wre too quick to conclude……

  25. i don’t see why people are arguing so fervently against it, lets just push researcher to do their work and see if, the claims are true or false (in treating possibly but probably not curing anyway, some of these traditional remedies work so let them be researched what’s the harm? thats why africans hardly progress, long list of opposition before they give any thing a chance, skepticism is ok but some attitudes really need to change, is it really that impossible that these fats help? perhaps its just the chief was misquoted as saying cure instead of treat

    • Only if they prove to be a danger to human life. Like if they endanger/attack villagers having their Acitivities of Daily Living at the river and in villages.

    • hoho, ba mrs stevens ..now you have unveiled the name of your sweetie?? Hope you are not fearing Chwe……yes chewe ala nomba these people are fearing fye ma bachelors pa LT

  29. It is very interesting reading comments from bloggers above. I wish to indicate that,the Chief has a valid observation. His statement might not have been phrased in medical terminology,yet Its true that the crocodile fat has Medicinal properties.Repcillin which is herbal cream from croc fats has so been effective in treating skin diseases. It is a scientifically known fact that crocs have the strongest innate immunity of all animal species . Research aught to be encouraged to that effect provided we utilize crocodile farms as stipulated by CITES(convention on international trade in endangered species.)

  30. Oh when oh when will we learn to research, collate data and create? Give it a chance. If proven not to be scientifically valid then haters can jump on it. In the mean time “listen more”. There’s a reason why in the past all our mineral, pharmaceutical rights and intellectual property were owned by our colonizers. Perhaps we knew something, no? More to the point perhaps our ancestors knew a thing or two. Grow up.

  31. There are actually studies being spearheaded by Dr Adam Britton and DR Mark Merchant , They have so for gotten croc blood and fats and are investigating for a chemical that confers immunity to the croc, as they rarely have infected wounds and gaping wounds heal so fast

    • Not that I know of , the ministry of health has not sanctioned research in the crocs fat. What is there , is the sondashi formula, Mayeyacin the other one I have forgotten . These are herbal concoctions under clinical trials in Zambia for HIV?AIDS

    • Bo Wiseman..
      Thats good news to learn from the learned folk. We shall await the results of the research. This could be the beginning of the end.. Maybe– and finally a light at the end of one tunnel.

  32. Which medical school did this chief attend? And what research has he carried out?

    The power of man lies in keeping the people ignorant.

    • Thank to dr. cuba for his good work I really believe HIV have cure I was HIV positive over since 1year plus before I come across a comment dr.cuba that he have cure to any disease and virus but when I saw it i have it in mind that he can’t cure HIV I just decided to give a try I contact him that night lucky to me he said yes but I don’t believe him I think it was a scam or some thing like that but I still hold on to see the work of dr.cuba if he is saying the true he ask for different things and some question about me I give him all the detail he needed and I wait to see his reply to my problem after all the things is done he ask me to go for check up I went for hiv test I cant believe I was negative the midical doctor was surprasie and doctor even ask for dr cuba email which i give to him

  37. You Know, Aids is a serious desease, and if some people have found medicines that will help the majority ,it is important to encourage such efforts. this pandemic is real and will engulf thewhole population in the absence of a cure.

    Lets encourage the crog medication research

  38. This is a very big business idea, I will start crocodile farming and crop them for medication. For sure, rivers will be free of those dreaded amphibians. If indeed they cure virus, then thank God our Lord, He is the Saviour. Seriously, it is a challenge to medical experts and scientists in Zambia to test the chief’s hypothesis as someone suggested. Put that claim to test and see if it works.
    I doubt if cros are a main tourist attraction than elephants and other rare animals.

  39. I feel we are unnecessarily assailing this chief for nothing. Imagine how our great great parents used to get healed using herbs and other things. They were testing; using trial and error, if it works, it was adopted. Some dreamed of certain herbs that had heeling powers and when tested they worked. Chief Mwana something’s idea is not strange. After all he says he has seen people using croc’s fat to cure the virus. If it’s been observed, let it be tested scientifically, especially that the world needs a cure like today. Pessimism based on umusungu’s indoctrination, that there is no cure, will not solve things.

  40. These fat Sianga-Imashamba CROCs have finished too many of our people. Maybe its time the Tonga chief just told us to start slaughtering them for some steaks & T-bone. With food prices this high, that water based HIV curing medicinal & food supplement would be welcome!

  41. AIDS IS USED AS A TOOL FOR POPULATION CONTROL AND A CURE FROM BIG PHARMA COMPANIES IS NOT ON THE HORIZON ANYTIME SOON BECAUSE THEY MAKE MORE MONEY SELLING DRUGS THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE FOR LIFE
    THAN COMMING OUT WITH A CURE. THERE IS NO MONEY IN A CURE PERIOD. THERE ARE LOTS OF CURES FOR AIDS BELIEVE ME THEY MIGHT NOT MAKE YOU TEST POSITIVE ON AN
    ANTIBODY TEST BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET THE SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH AIDS THUS LIVE A HEALTHY LIVE ALL BEING SAID WITH THE VIRUS. CURES ARE BEING SUPPRESSED BY THE MEDIA AND PHARMA COMPANIES WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE ILLUMINATI WHO OWN WESTERN MEDIA AND ALL COMPANIES.

  42. it was before on the national geographic that croc is like a huma being and its haert beat like huma and its blood its hiv resitence why not test it and find out the theory about it?

  43. AIDS was brought up as a way of population control! The US has the cure,and all members of an Organization called illuminati

  44. Thank to dr. cuba for his good work I really believe HIV have cure I was HIV positive over since 1year plus before I come across a comment dr.cuba that he have cure to any disease and virus but when I saw it i have it in mind that he can’t cure HIV I just decided to give a try I contact him that night lucky to me he said yes but I don’t believe him I think it was a scam or some thing like that but I still hold on to see the work of dr.cuba if he is saying the true he ask for different things and some question about me I give him all the detail he needed and I wait to see his reply to my problem after all the things is done he ask me to go for check up I went for hiv test I cant believe I was negative the midical doctor was surprasie and doctor even ask for dr cuba email which i give to him

  46. Use whatever you find before you cauz its your life,not Researchers lives.I encourage go for anything you have heard about,than reverting to arguments while you diminish.
