Abstract
The Probiotic support is essential in the contextual and effective support management of many common maladies in the African health care systems today; as we grapple with the new realties that Non Communicable Disorders is a much more threat than the hitherto more considered Communicable Disorders and its consequent paradigm shift in managing these disorders. The pandemic rise in non-communicable disorders can be traced to the under listed factors.
*Life Style Changes, Consumption of Wrong and Poor Diets, Consumption of Social Poisons, Ignorance, Poor Awareness and many others.
As the incidence of Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Digestive/Allied Disorders, Obesity, Neoplasms, Cardio Vascular Disorders , etc. are on the pandemic rise, hence common sense Holistic or Integrative Protocols for very effective management of these disorders demands that a basic and fundamental aspects of being healthy i.e. Intestinal/Gut flora Integrity and Support, that have far reaching consequences on health that is way beyond the Digestive Sphere is paramount to the effective management of the highlighted disorders, as advocated for by Integrative/CAM or Holistic Medicare.
CAM:
1962, the World Health Organization (WHO) with others sponsored an international Conference at the University of Kazakhstan, deliberations and understandings in this conference will be a purveyor to the later Alma Ata declaration in 1978, i.e. global strategy for public health and preventive medicine which epitomized as Health for all by the year 2000 AD,
This strategy entails the use of all available healing methods of both Orthodox, Traditional/Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).
CAM has great prospect in Africa, as it is estimated that over 78% of the African populace relied on TM/CAM practices for their health care needs.
Challenges:
*Standard/Proper up to Date Educational Structures, Proper professional and ethical development of CAM Practices/ Practitioners and poor regulatory frame work.
