mmmm ... Are African traditional remedies a secret and kept guarded solely by the healer? For what I have been reading all these years, I believe the answer to this question is yes and no. It is important to consider that healing knowldege is highly valuable and diverse from healer to healer. There is not such a thing as one healing system, but many, and the remedies to certain illnesses may be well kept secure from other healers .... competition? Jeoulosy? I will find out soon enough when fieldwork time comes around. Thank you
