𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 not just because of culture, but also because our public hospitals are often under-resourced. Imagine waiting 5 hours for an X-ray machine that doesn’t work… vs. a sangoma who’s open 24/7 and only charges a chicken. 🐔

But here’s the real question: Can modern medicine and traditional healing actually work hand-in-hand? Or should we be worried that when 6 out of 10 people pick the sangoma first, hospitals lose their patients before they even walk through the door?

“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒓 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝑾𝒉𝒐 𝑺𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅”

By the time I finish writing this, I hope these tears I’ve started to shed amount to something😢😢.

I have lost loved ones to breast cancer💔. I have stood beside those who are still standing💐, who have fought and are still fighting. The pain runs deep how does something attack the very essence of our femininity? The struggle that comes with its existence affects not just the patient, but families and everyone who dares to care.

Is it merely hereditary🧬, or something deeper beyond my understanding? I failed to figure it out. What I know is this: two of my sisters have fought this battle and lived to tell their stories. Not without scars but those scars are proof that they conquered.

But then, how about your sister, mother, grandma, aunt, beloved neighbor, or best friend who found eternal rest? I know the feeling of watching a loved one grow frail, hearing them speak in what sounds like goodbye language, you know, the “take care of your brother and sister😪” kind of talk.

In my case, it was a letter. A letter she left behind after she passed, words she never got to say face to face. I had hope, because she laughed with me, cared about me, and even in the middle of her fight, she was still trying to solve my problems. Why would I ever lose hope nhai? Inga taienda tese ku chemo wani. High speed car chase muna Tongogara chasing down mumwe mface so ne side chick yake on our way to the pharmacy to get your meds 🤣🤣🤣. Kana that’s not a person who loses battles, well, at least that’s what I thought.

But eventually, she did. The intercessor who interceded for us all 🙏🏾 was taken away from us because of breast cancer.

And yet on the bright side, I still have two sisters who are survivors, only because of early detection. I still get to annoy them, love them🫂, help them fight, pray for them, and have them pray for me.🙇🏾‍♀️ For that, I am deeply grateful.

Are we anywhere near curing cancer? Honestly, I have no idea🤷🏾‍♀️. But what I do know is this:

💗 To those we’ve lost, may their love echo in our lives forever. 💗 To those still fighting, may your courage be met with healing and hope.
💗 To the survivors, your scars are medals of honor, proof of your resilience.
💗 To everyone reading this, early detection is not just a medical term, it’s a lifeline.

This October, ladies make this a priority for yourself and your loved ones. The goal is to live up to 100… and how I wish we all get there. 💖🎀

🩺✨ Unpopular Opinion: Zimbabwe’s health crisis won’t be fixed by government alone — it starts with us. ✨🩺

Yes, hospitals need resources, staff, and equipment. But think about it… even if every clinic had medicine tomorrow, would our health outcomes really change if we:

🍔 Keep eating poorly?
🚬 Don’t manage lifestyle diseases like diabetes & hypertension?
🦷 Only go to the doctor when it’s already too late?
😷 Still see health as an “emergency service” rather than daily self-care?

💡 Here’s the real kicker: Most of Zimbabwe’s leading health problems today (high blood pressure, diabetes, cancers, TB, HIV) are largely preventable or manageable — if we take personal and community responsibility.

So maybe the unpopular truth is this: We can’t just wait for systems to change — we need to change our health habits too.

👉🏾 What can you and I start doing differently?

Regular health check-ups (before crisis hits).

Community wellness programs (even simple exercise groups).

Talking openly about mental health, diet, and lifestyle.

Supporting local clinics and health initiatives with ideas, time, or resources.

💭 Imagine if prevention became a culture, not an afterthought.

Your turn: Do you think personal and community responsibility can change Zimbabwe’s health story — or is that just wishful thinking?

🍻🤯 Did You Know? That forever drunk uncle could slightly have a chance that they are actually not drunks zvatinofunga 🤯🍻

Imagine feeling tipsy… without ever touching a drink! 🍺 That’s the strange reality of Auto-Brewery Syndrome (ABS).

Here are some surprising facts:

🦠 What causes it? ABS happens when certain gut fungi (like Candida) turn carbohydrates (sadza, bread, rice, etc.) into alcohol inside the digestive system.

🥘 Trigger foods: Starchy and sugary foods — sadza, pasta, potatoes, even fruit — can make symptoms worse.

😵 Symptoms: People may feel drunk, dizzy, have slurred speech, mood swings, or brain fog… even if they’ve had zero alcohol.

📊 How rare is it? Extremely rare — only a few hundred cases worldwide have been documented.

👨🏾‍⚕️ Misunderstood condition: Many patients are mistaken for alcohol abusers before doctors discover ABS.

✅ Treatment: Special diets (low-carb, low-sugar) + antifungal medicines can help manage it.

💡 Fun thought: Your gut could literally be running its own brewery! 🍺

👉🏾 Remember: If someone seems intoxicated but swears they haven’t touched alcohol… it could be Auto-Brewery Syndrome.
