Kicking me with his
left leg was the greatest mistake he ever made, as I docked, slipped under him with
my two knees and lifted him up before banging him on the ground. His fall was
great as he tumbled several times before gaining momentum. I was happy, I
thought I had won. Seeing him enervated, I was rejoicing, not knowing that it
was just the beginning. After he had gathered more strength, he caught me
unaware, approached me with different rounds of veracious punches. I was weak, I
cried, I prayed but still didn’t give up. The fight was so great, the battle
was so intense but the victory was finally mine.
That was exactly how I felt
last week as I observed a battle going on inside of me, between the parasitic
plasmodium and my immune system. It was nothing more than the clash of the
titans. The effect was a high fever, headache, eye ache and an abdominal
cramps.
Winning this battle
will not be the only testimony but getting the key to ending future
occurrences. Below are ways by which plasmodium (the father of malaria, an
endemic disease in Africa) can be combatted.
1
PURE FAITH
This
is as a result of healing miracle. You noticed you are going down with malaria
and you were prayed for. It immediately disappear that you cannot even remember
if you were down minutes ago. As sweet as this experience is, it happens most
time to those that previously have no faith in the supreme (Unbelievers) or the
apostates.

.
FAITH WITH WORK
This
is very similar to the first case. It is for people already in the faith.
People engaging with this must always be eating as well as being prayed for, to
help their faith. Anyone that will not eat nor drink water must not try this
method but can revert to the third method.

.
WORK
This
is when the attention of medical personnel is sought after. Every medical need
must be given to help combat the parasite. Anti-malaria drugs as well as
injections, drips etc. should be administered depending on the gravity of the
disease.

.
TRADITIONAL MEANS
Some
people so much have the experience and belief in using different types of
herbal mixture. It falls under this method of treating and captivating malaria.
Different types of herbs with quinine properties are gathered, processed and
taken.
Prevention is better
than cure, the best method is to prevent the malaria from happening
(Prophylactic measures). Most of these parasites are endemic in Nigeria, so
having few doses of plasmodium is inevitable. All they do is to look for any
opportunity when you will be immunocompromised. You can be immunocompromised
when you are stressed and you observe few sleep and rest. So, the best thing to
do is to ensure you are not immunocompromised. Protection against mosquito
bites, Proper diet, proper rest and good sleep is an antidote to combatting malaria.
