African Holistic Health by Llaila O. Afrika is an all-natural healing reference guide on how to heal yourself of common diseases.
Dr, Afrika contends that good health does not belong exclusively to any culture or race, but is a human right and a product of nature. He has used herbal and other holistic treatments exclusively since the early 1970s. He is recognized as the leading advocate of health and healthy living in the African-American communities in the US.
Dr, Afrika is endorsed by many health practitioners including Ralph Richardson, M.D., Rudolph Ballentine, M.D., Carole Barnes M.D., Jewel Pookram, M.D., J. Sneddon, Queen Afua, Melanie Stevenson, N.D., and Dick Gregory.
“In this book, I have given the foundation of African holistic health, diet and dis-ease treatment. However, the treatments given have incorporated many different stage of treatment awareness… African holistic (ethnomedicine) is too vast a science and art to cover in one book. Therefore, this book is but a brief introduction to the cultural language called health. In my effort to be brief, many valuable concepts had to be reduced and modified. Modifications were done with the utmost scrutiny and with the realization that thousands of years of African health wisdom and African historical ignorance cannot be erased with any book… This book is largely a response to the many questions asked by people during my nutritional counselling and at my lectures. It represents my intense desire to provide African-centered health information for Black children. Furthermore, it represent the frustration and despair I have suffered in my attempt to get African-centered information on the subject of African holistic health.” –from, the Foreword.
