Some professionals in herbal medicine say there are assured herbal alternative remedies to many killer diseases ravaging humanity.
According to them, people should embrace these alternatives rather than rely totally on orthodox medicine.
The professionals made the assertion in Lagos on Thursday at the TimJan Maiden Award ceremony to reward TimJan distributors for their efforts in marketing and using the products, within its one year of entering Nigeria.

They said that certified brands such as the TimJan range of products had continued to prove its efficacy in the cure for ailments including cancers like prostate, kidney stones, diabetes and others.
Dr Baderinwa Sunday-Adewale, Fellow, Federal College of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Nigeria, said that exposure to unnatural foods and substances had continued to endanger the human system.
According to him, many ailments and body systems have become resistant to orthodox medicine treatment in recent times.
Adewale cited ignorance as contributory to causes of numerous deaths from diseases.
However, he said that some herbal preparations like the TimJan organic tonic and its other range of products, were assured remedies with capacity to boost the body biotic and immune system to fight diseases and make people to live healthy.
According to him, the brand has passed clinical research examination in South Africa, its country of origin, and Nigeria, with several people testifying to its potency.
“The tales of agony from patients with challenges such as diabetes and prostate in recent times spurred the advent of TimJan products in order to give succor to people,” he said.
BRANDPOWER reports that the scourge of diseases including fibroid, hepatitis, cancer, infections, diabetes, prostate and others, resulting to high morbidities and mortalities, have been of concern to people and governments.
Speaking earlier, the CEO of JimJan, Mr Nnamdi Dennis-Okonkwo, said that the organisation had been operating in Nigeria for a year, with impactful results on the well-being of Nigerians.
According to the CEO, TimJan is a medication that contains aloeverus that can only be found in South Africa, saying that there are over 70 species of aloes, but that aloeverus is the best.
He, however, said that they were not produced in Nigeria because of the tricky nature of aloeverus.
He added that the raw materials could only be harvested one tree once in five years to get the optimal efficacy.
“If you take it through the sea it will lose its power. It is bottled in South Africa and sold fresh in Nigeria, and it cures ailments. It is anti-cancerous and anti-tumour.
“If people living with HIV/AIDS use it for two weeks, the viral load will drop to the minimum. Eight per cent of South Africans have HIV/AIDS and they use the drug to treat it,” he said.
He pointed that if a product could stop someone from going for chemotherapy, then that product must be powerful.
He recalled that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said that Nigerians spent about N2.8 dollars on medical trip abroad in 2023, and that TimJan could put a check to such economic waste.
Okonkwo, who commended the distributors’ zeal to reach out to people with the pro-life brand, called for a reward system to encourage them and more people to join.
“The motive is to encourage others and to let those who have not reached a particular milestone in our Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) platform work harder.
“The products are produced in South Africa and it was discovered over 60 years ago by two friends named Tim and Jan.
“We started marketing the product in Nigeria in 2023 to make our people see the value of the products.
“ It is also an opportunity for Nigerians to make money through TimJan MLM system.
“With the MLM system, you can earn up to N900 million. This is just the beginning for our distributors, we will soon be giving out homes to them,” he said.
BRANDPOWER also reports that the event rewarded six outstanding distributors with an SUV car each while others got cash and other sundry items as consolation prizes.
One of the car awardees, Pastor David Elijah, a TimJan Ambassador, expressed delight over the gesture, saying that it was a reward for a journey of 12 months.
“I was rewarded with a car of N90 million worth. I qualified by bringing thousands of people into the sales network system.
“Nigeria is not as bad as people are saying; you can make money in Nigeria. You just need to know the right thing to do,” he said.
