1.      INTRODUCTION: This is an essential reflection based on critical thinking using some available literature on Alzheimer’s disease. It is based on common sense inspired by Jesus Christ. Most European and American radios and TV sing daily about Alzheimer’s disease and conclude that most of those who will suffer from the disease will be from the African continent. In public health the causes, the nature, the characteristics, the contributing factors and the prevention of a disease are studied in places where the disease is causing the highest morbidity and mortality.

2.      GOAL: Propose a possible contributing factor to Alzheimer’s disease

3.      SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
a)      Describe the Alzheimer’s disease
b)      Describe the epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease
c)      Describe the major cooking oils used in various diets
(Soya bean oil, olive oil, red palm oil, coconut oil and cholesterol)
d)     Study the good health effects of these oils
e)      Study the bad health effects of these oils
f)       Study the epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease and of the oils in the world
g)      Discuss the natural distribution of edible oils in  the world  by the All Mighty God
h)      Discuss the geographical epidemiological distribution of Alzheimer’s disease and the consumption, and the production of these oils   
i)        State a hypothesis of relationship between  Alzheimer’s disease and the edible oils studied

HANDING OVER OF MATERIAL FOR THE CONTROL OF CHOLERA AT MOBA PORT

By Dr Mfonfu, Medical Coordinator, UNHCR Lubumbashi.
29 04 2019
I am publishing this report eight years after this activity was carried out because the activity and its reporting was so good and motivating to be hidden in the drawer.
During this exercise of implementing the UNHCR approach to control cholera epidemic it was observed that the most important factors contributing to episodes of cholera were
-         Non construction and non-use of  pit latrines
-         Collection and use fresh excreta as manure in the farms
-         The popular erroneous believe that the cholera comes from the lake
Moba port is a town situated at the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Most of its quarters have sandy soils thus it is difficult to dig pit latrines.
I propose a way out. Let us develop a marshal plan for construction of pit latrines at Moba Port and other villages along the lake following the description below.
I am sending this report fromBamenda not from Moba or Kalemie; this shows my commitment to the health of humanity.
