A new company, GetAwayGrey, is now offering a nutraceutical multi-vitamin designed to reverse and prevent grey hair. The product is an alternative to the use of hair dyes, which contain irritating and potentially toxic chemicals.
GetAwayGrey works on an entirely different principle than dyes and chemicals by addressing the underlying cause of grey hair, hydrogen peroxide. This is what removes pigment from hair before it grows. GetAwayGrey allows men and women to reverse grey hair naturally by addressing this problem at its root cause.
The graying process starts when the level of the catalase enzyme in the body begins to drop as people age. Less catalase means that hydrogen peroxide naturally occurring in hair cannot be broken down, and the result is grey hair. GetAwayGrey is a supplement that replicates the catalase enzyme to stop the chemical chain reaction that results in grey hair.
Karin Schallreuter, professor of clinical and experimental dermatology at the University of Bradford in the UK, says that replacing catalase has “great implications in the hair graying scenario in humans.” Schallreuter’s study appeared in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology’s FASEB Journal, and gained media attention from The Discovery Channel, WebMD.com, Oprah and CBS News. Additionally, several thousand people have tried the product, and are excited about the results.
Yi-Chung Huang, who had colored his grey hair for years, gave GetAwayGrey a try and quickly noticed results. “Whenever I see my natural hair color growing from the roots, the joy is beyond description,” says Huang.
According to the company, some people see a reversal of grey hair in as few as 8 weeks, while others may not see a change for up to 12 weeks, due to the differing levels of naturally-occurring catalase.
Kirsty Adams, a school teacher, saw an improvement in her hair’s color and texture within six weeks after starting GetAwayGrey. “I started to notice that my hair was getting all-around darker,” she said.
“Many grey hair products use unhealthy chemicals, including dyes, colorants, lead acetate, and other artificial substances that may have long term health hazards, including cancer,” says Rob Duner-Fenter, CEO of GetAwayGrey, who continues by saying, “we are so confident in the efficacy of our product that we offer a money-back guarantee should our customers not see evidence of the product working within twelve weeks.”
TOUCHING BUT TRUE! THE SECOND DOCTOR, WHO TREATED LIBERIAN EBOLA
VICTIM PATRICK SAWYER, SHARES HER SURVIVAL STORY!
Dr. Ada Igonoh is a young female doctor at First Consultants
Hospital, where the index Ebola case in Nigeria Patrick Sawyer was treated and
died.
She is one of the brave doctors who worked alongside senior
consultant Dr. Stella Adadevoh. She treated Sawyer, found him dead and not
surprisingly contracted the deadly Ebola virus from him.
But her story is different because she survived.
She shared her moving survival story with BN giving an
insight into her diagnosis, being quarantined, how Justina Ejelonu & Dr.
Adadevoh and others died and how her faith was tested.
Her story will almost move you to tears.
When Patrick Sawyer arrived the hospital:
“Patrick Sawyer had complaints of fever and body weakness.
The male doctor on call admitted him as a case of malaria and took a full
history. Knowing that Mr Sawyer had recently arrived from Liberia, the doctor
asked if he had been in contact with an Ebola patient in the last couple of
weeks, and Mr. Sawyer denied any such contact. He also denied attending any
funeral ceremony recently. Blood samples were taken for full blood count,
malaria parasites, liver function test and other baseline investigations. He
was admitted into a private room and started on anti-malarial drugs and
analgesics. That night, the full blood count result came back as normal and not
indicative of infection.
The following day however, his condition worsened. He barely
ate any of his meals. His liver function test result showed his liver enzymes
were markedly elevated. We then took samples for HIV and hepatitis screening.”
Her First meeting with Patrick Sawyer:
"At about 5.00pm, he requested to see a doctor. I was
the doctor on call that night so I went in to see him. He was lying in bed with
his intravenous (I.V.) fluid bag removed from its metal stand and placed beside
him. He complained that he had stooled about five times that evening and that
he wanted to use the bathroom again. I picked up the I.V. bag from his bed and
hung it back on the stand. I told him I would inform a nurse to come and
disconnect the I.V. so he could conveniently go to the bathroom. "
How the late Dr Adadevoh came in contact with him:
“I walked out of his room and went straight to the nurses’
station where I told the nurse on duty to disconnect his I.V. I then informed
my Consultant, Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh about the patient’s condition and she asked
that he be placed on some medications.
The following day, the results for HIV and hepatitis
screening came out negative. As we were preparing for the early morning ward
rounds, I was approached by an ECOWAS official who informed me that Patrick
Sawyer had to catch an 11 o’clock flight to Calabar for a retreat that morning.
He wanted to know if it would be possible. I told him it wasn't, as he was
acutely ill. Dr. Adadevoh also told him the patient could certainly not leave
the hospital in his condition. She then instructed me to write very boldly on
his chart that on no account should Patrick Sawyer be allowed out of the
hospital premises without the permission of Dr. Ohiaeri, our Chief Medical
Consultant. All nurses and doctors were duly informed.”
How Dr Adadevoh saved Nigeria from the virus:
During our early morning ward round with Dr. Adadevoh, we
concluded that this was not malaria and that the patient needed to be screened
for Ebola Viral Disease. She immediately started calling laboratories to find
out where the test could be carried out.
She was eventually referred to Professor Omilabu of the LUTH
Virology Reference Lab in Idi-Araba whom she called immediately. Prof. Omilabu
told her to send blood and urine samples to LUTH straight away. She tried to
reach the Lagos State Commissioner for Health but was unable to contact him at
the time. She also put calls across to officials of the Federal Ministry of
Health and National Centre for Disease Control.
Dr. Adadevoh at this time was in a pensive mood. Patrick
Sawyer was now a suspected case of Ebola, perhaps the first in the country. He
was quarantined, and strict barrier nursing was applied with all the
precautionary measures we could muster. Dr. Adadevoh went online, downloaded
information on Ebola and printed copies which were distributed to the nurses,
doctors and ward maids. Blood and urine samples were sent to LUTH that morning.
Protective gear, gloves, shoe covers and face masks were provided for the
staff. A wooden barricade was placed at the entrance of the door to keep
visitors and unauthorized personnel away from the patient.
How Patrick Sawyer died:
On Thursday 24th
July, I was again on. At about 10.00pm Mr. Sawyer requested to see me. I went
into the newly created dressing room, donned my protective gear and went in to
see him. He had not been cooperating with the nurses and had refused any
additional treatment. He sounded confused and said he received a call from
Liberia asking for a detailed medical report to be sent to them. He also said
he had to travel back to Liberia on a 5.00am flight the following morning and
that he didn’t want to miss his flight. I told him that I would inform Dr.
Adadevoh. As I was leaving the room, I met Dr. Adadevoh dressed in her
protective gear along with a nurse and another doctor. They went into his room
to have a discussion with him and as I heard later to reset his I.V. line which
he had deliberately removed after my visit to his room.
At 6:30am, Friday 25th July, I got a call from the nurse
that Patrick Sawyer was completely unresponsive. Again I put on the protective
gear and headed to his room. I found him slumped in the bathroom. I examined
him and observed that there was no respiratory movement. I felt for his pulse;
it was absent. We had lost him. It was I who certified Patrick Sawyer dead. I informed
Dr. Adadevoh immediately and she instructed that no one was to be allowed to go
into his room for any reason at all. Later that day, officials from W.H.O came
and took his body away. The test in Dakar later came out positive for Zaire
strain of the Ebola virus. We now had the first official case of Ebola virus
disease in Nigeria.”
How Patrick Sawyer's death crushed them (Doctors, Nurses) at
the hospital:
“It was a sobering day. We all began to go over all that
happened in the last few days, wondering just how much physical contact we had
individually made with Patrick Sawyer. Every patient on admission was
discharged that day and decontamination began in the hospital. We were now
managing a crisis situation. People were talking Ebola everywhere – on
television, online, everywhere. I soon started experiencing joint and muscle
aches and a sore throat, which I quickly attributed to stress and anxiety. I
decided to take malaria tablets. I also started taking antibiotics for the sore
throat. The first couple of temperature readings were normal. Every day I would
attempt to recall the period Patrick Sawyer was on admission – just how much
direct and indirect contact did I have with him? I reassured myself that my
contact with him was quite minimal. I completed the anti-malarials but the
aches and pains persisted. I had loss of appetite and felt very tired.”
Testing positive to Ebola and moving to the Isolation ward
in Yaba:
“The following day, Sunday 3rd of August, I got a call from
one of the doctors who came to take my sample the day before. He told me that
the sample which was they had taken was not confirmatory, and that they needed
another sample. He did not sound very coherent and I became worried. They came
with the ambulance that afternoon and told me that I had to go with them to
Yaba.
We soon got to Yaba. I really had no clue where I was. I
knew it was a hospital. I was left alone in the back of the ambulance for over
four hours. My mind was in a whirl. I didn't know what to think. I was offered
food to eat but I could barely eat the rice.
The ambulance door opened and a Caucasian gentleman
approached me but kept a little distance. He said to me, “I have to inform you
that your blood tested positive for Ebola. I am sorry.” I had no reaction. I
think I must have been in shock. He then told me to open my mouth and he looked
at my tongue. He said it was the typical Ebola tongue. I took out my mirror
from my bag and took a look and I was shocked at what I saw. My whole tongue
had a white coating, looked furry and had a long, deep ridge right in the
middle. I then started to look at my whole body, searching for Ebola rashes and
other signs as we had been recently instructed. I called my mother immediately
and said, “Mummy, they said I have Ebola, but don’t worry, I will survive it.
Please, go and lock my room now; don’t let anyone inside and don’t touch
anything.” She was silent. I cut the line.”
Life at the Isolation ward:
“I was taken to the female ward. I was shocked at the
environment. It looked like an abandoned building. I suspected it had not been
in use for quite a while. As I walked in, I immediately recognized one of the
ward maids from our hospital. She always had a smile for me but not this time.
She was ill and she looked it. She had been stooling a lot too. I soon settled
into my corner and looked around the room. It smelled of faeces and vomit. It
also had a characteristic Ebola smell to which I became accustomed. Dinner was
served – rice and stew. The pepper stung my mouth and tongue. I dropped the
spoon. No dinner that night.
Dr. David, the Caucasian man who had met me at the ambulance
on my arrival, came in wearing his full protective ‘hazmat’ suit and goggles.
It was fascinating seeing one live. I had only seen them online. He brought
bottles of water and ORS, the oral fluid therapy which he dropped by my
bedside. He told me that 90 percent of the treatment depended on me. He said I
had to drink at least 4.5 litres of ORS daily to replace fluids lost in
stooling and vomiting.
My parents called. My uncle called. My husband called
crying. He could not believe the news. My parents had informed him, as I didn’t
even know how to break the news to him.
As I lay on my bed in that isolation ward, strangely, I did
not fear for my life. I was confident that I would leave that ward some day.
There was an inner sense of calm. I did not for a second think I would be
consumed by the disease. That evening, the symptoms fully kicked in. I was
stooling almost every two hours. The toilets did not flush so I had to fetch
water in a bucket from the bathroom each time I used the toilet. I then placed
another bucket beneath my bed for the vomiting. On occasion I would run to the
toilet with a bottle of ORS, so that as I was stooling, I was drinking.
The next day Monday 4th of August, I began to notice red
rashes on my skin particularly on my arms. I had developed sores all over my
mouth. My head was pounding so badly. The sore throat was so severe I could not
eat. I could only drink the ORS. I took paracetamol for the pain. The ward maid
across from me wasn’t doing so well. She had stopped speaking. I couldn’t even
brush my teeth; the sores in my mouth were so bad. This was a battle for my
life but I was determined I would not die.
Every morning, I began the day with reading and meditating
on Psalm 91. The sanitary condition in the ward left much to be desired. The
whole Ebola thing had caught everyone by surprise. Lagos State Ministry of
Health was doing its best to contain the situation but competent hands were few.
The sheets were not changed for days. The floor was stained with greenish
vomits and excrement. Dr. David would come in once or twice a day and help
clean up the ward after chatting with us.
He was the only doctor who attended to us. There was no one
else at that time. The matrons would leave our food outside the door; we had to
go get the food ourselves. They hardly entered in the initial days. Everyone
was being careful. This was all so new. I could understand, was this not how we
ourselves had contracted the disease? Mosquitoes were our rroom-matesuntil they
brought us mosquito nets.”
Her encounter with the late Nurse Justina Ejelonu at the Isolation ward:
“Later that evening, Dr. David brought another lady into the
ward. I recognized her immediately as Justina Ejelonu, a nurse who had started
working at First Consultants on the 21st of July, a day after Patrick Saywer
was admitted. She was on duty on the day Patrick reported that he was stooling.
While she was attending to him that night, he had yanked off his drip, letting
his blood flow almost like a tap onto her hands. Justina was pregnant and was
brought into our ward bleeding from a suspected miscarriage. She had been told
she was there only on observation. The news that she had contracted Ebola was
broken to her the following day after results of her blood test came out
positive. Justina was devastated and wept profusely – she had contracted Ebola
on her first day at work.
My husband started visiting but was not allowed to come
close to me. He could only see me from a window at a distance. He visited so
many times. It was he who brought me a change of clothes and toiletries and
other things I needed because I had not even packed a bag. I was grateful I was
not with him at home when I fell ill or he would most certainly have contracted
the disease. My retreat at my parents’ home turned out to be the
instrumentality God used to shield and save him.”
Her Pastor's prayers and her daily spiritual routine:
“I drank the ORS fluid like my life depended on it. Then I
got a call from my pastor. He had been informed about my predicament. He called
me every single day morning and night and would pray with me over the phone. He
later sent me a CD player, CDs of messages on faith and healing, and Holy
Communion packs through my husband. My pastor, who also happens to be a medical
doctor, encouraged me to monitor how many times I had stooled and vomited each
day and how many bottles of ORS I had consumed. We would then discuss the
disease and pray together. He asked me to do my research on Ebola since I had
my iPad with me and told me that he was also doing his study. He wanted us to
use all relevant information on Ebola to our advantage. So I researched and
found out all I could about the strange disease that has been in existence for
38 years. My research, my faith, my positive view of life, the extended times
of prayer, study and listening to encouraging messages boosted my belief that I
would survive the Ebola scourge.
There are five strains of the virus and the deadliest of
them is the Zaire strain, which was what I had. But that did not matter. I
believed I would overcome even the deadliest of strains. Infected patients who
succumb to the disease usually die between 6 to 16 days after the onset of the
disease from multiple organ failure and shock caused by dehydration. I was
counting the days and keeping myself well hydrated. I didn’t intend to die in
that ward.
My research gave me ammunition. I read that as soon as the
virus gets into the body, it begins to replicate really fast. It enters the
blood cells, destroys them and uses those same blood cells to aggressively
invade other organs where they further multiply. Ideally, the body’s immune
system should immediately mount up a response by producing antibodies to fight
the virus. If the person is strong enough, and that strength is sustained long
enough for the immune system to kill off the viruses, the patient is likely to
survive. If the virus replicates faster than the antibodies can handle however,
further damage is done to the organs. Ebola can be likened to a multi-level,
multi-organ attack but I had no intention of letting the deadly virus destroy
my system. I drank more ORS. I remember saying to myself repeatedly, “I am a
survivor, I am a survivor.”
I also found out that a patient with Ebola cannot be
re-infected and they cannot relapse back into the disease as there is some
immunity conferred on survivors. My pastor and I would discuss these findings,
interpret them as it related to my situation and pray together. I looked
forward to his calls. They were times of encouragement and strengthening. I
continued to meditate on the Word of God. It was my daily bread.”
To contain the frequent diarrhea, I had started wearing
adult diapers, as running to the toilet was no longer convenient for me. The
indignity was quite overwhelming, but I did not have a choice. My faith was
being severely tested. The situation was desperate enough to break anyone
psychologically. Dr. Ohiaeri also called us day and night, enquiring about our
health and the progress we were making. He sent provisions, extra drugs,
vitamins, Lucozade, towels, tissue paper; everything we needed to be more comfortable
in that dark hole we found ourselves. Some of my male colleagues had also been
admitted to the male ward two rooms away, but there was no interaction with
them.
I kept encouraging myself. This could not be the end for me.
Five days after I was admitted, the vomiting stopped. A day after that, the
diarrhea ceased. I was overwhelmed with joy. It happened at a time I thought I
could no longer stand the ORS. Drinking that fluid had stretched my endurance
greatly.
I knew countless numbers of people were praying for me.
Prayer meetings were being held on my behalf. My family was praying day and
night. Text messages of prayers flooded my phones from family members and
friends. I was encouraged to press on. With the encouragement I was receiving I
began to encourage the others in the ward. We decided to speak life and focus
on the positive. I then graduated from drinking only the ORS fluid to eating
only bananas, to drinking pap and then bland foods.”
How Nurse Justina and Doctor Adadevoh died:
“It was a great blow and my faith was greatly shaken when
Nurse Justina died on the 12th of August. I commenced daily Bible study with
the other two female patients and we would encourage one another to stay
positive in our outlook though in the natural it was grim and very depressing.
My communion sessions with the other women were very special moments for us
all. On the evening of the day Justina passed on, we were moved to the new
isolation centre. We felt like we were leaving hell and going to heaven. We
were conveyed to the new place in an ambulance. It was just behind the old
building.
Time would not permit me to recount the drama involved with
the dynamics of our relocation. It was like a script from a science fiction
movie. The new building was cleaner and much better than the old building.
Towels and nightwear were provided on each bed. The environment was serene.
The following night, Dr. Adadevoh was moved to our isolation
ward from her private room where she had previously been receiving treatment.
She had also tested positive for Ebola and was now in a coma. She was receiving
I.V. fluids and oxygen support and was being monitored closely by the W.H.O
doctors. We all hoped and prayed that she would come out of it. It was so
difficult seeing her in that state. I could not bear it. She was my consultant,
my boss, my teacher and my mentor. She was the imperial lady of First
Consultants, full of passion, energy and competence. I imagined she would wake
up soon and see that she was surrounded by her First Consultants family but
sadly it was not to be.”
Overcoming Ebola:
“I continued listening to my healing messages. They gave me
life. I literally played them hours on end. Two days later, on Saturday the
16th of August, the W.H.O doctors came with some papers. I was informed that
the result of my blood test was negative for Ebola virus. If I could
somersault, I would have but my joints were still slightly painful. I was free
to go home after being in isolation for exactly 14 days. I was so full of
thanks and praise to God. I called my mother to get fresh clothes and slippers
and come pick me. My husband couldn’t stop shouting when I called him. He was
completely overwhelmed with joy. I was told however that I could not leave the
ward with anything I came in with. I glanced one last time at my cd player, my
valuable messages, my research assistant a.k.a my iPad, my phones and other
items. I remember saying to myself, “I have life; I can always replace these
items.”
I went for a chlorine bath, which was necessary to disinfect
my skin from my head to my toes. It felt like I was being baptised into a new
life as Dr. Carolina, a W.H.O doctor from Argentina poured the bucket of
chlorinated water all over me. I wore a new set of clothes, following the
strict instructions that no part of the clothes must touch the floor and the
walls. Dr. Carolina looked on, making sure I did as instructed.
I was led out of the bathroom and straight to the lawn to be
united with my family, but first I had to cut the red ribbon that served as a
barrier. It was a symbolic expression of my freedom. Everyone cheered and
clapped. It was a little but very important ceremony for me. I was free from
Ebola! I hugged my family as one who had been liberated after many years of
incarceration. I was like someone who had fought death face to face and come
back to the land of the living.
We had to pass through several stations of disinfection
before we reached the car. Bleach and chlorinated water were sprayed on
everyone’s legs at each station. As we made our way to the car, we walked past
the old isolation building. I could hardly recognize it. I could not believe I
slept in that building for 10 days. I was free! Free of Ebola. Free to live
again. Free to interact with humanity again. Free from the sentence of death.
My parents and two brothers were under surveillance for 21
days and they completed the surveillance successfully. None of them came down
with a fever. The house had been disinfected by Lagos State Ministry of Health
soon after I was taken to the isolation centre. I thank God for shielding them
from the plague.
My recovery after discharge has been gradual but
progressive. I thank God for the support of family and friends. I remember my
colleagues who we lost in this battle. Dr. Adadevoh my boss, Nurse Justina
Ejelonu, and the ward maid, Mrs. Ukoh were heroines who lost their lives in the
cause to protect Nigeria. They will never be forgotten.
And then she concluded saying “I read that Dr. Kent Brantly,
the American doctor who contracted Ebola in Liberia and was flown out to the
United States for treatment was being criticized for attributing his healing to
God when he was given the experimental drug, Zmapp. I don’t claim to have all
the answers to the nagging questions of life. Why do some die and some survive?
Why do bad things happen to good people? Where is God in the midst of pain and
suffering? Where does science end and God begin? These are issues we may never
fully comprehend on this side of eternity. All I know is that I walked through
the valley of the shadow of death and came out unscathed.”
