By Christopher Ambe

Dr. Richard Fru:  Award-winning trad-practitioner

Dr. Fru Richard, is the Founder/Director of the famous Dr. Fru‘s Garden of Eden International Healing & Research Foundation with headquarters in Wonya Mavio- Buea, Southwest Region of Cameroon.

Although headquartered in Buea, the GEIHR Foundation has established branches in some town s and cities of Cameroon. Towns and cities already having branches of GEIHR Foundation are: Kumba, Douala, Yaounde, Bamenda, Limbe and recently Bertoua.

Dr.Fru, The Recorder gathered plans to establish more branch clinics in Maroua, Ebolowa, Ngoundere and Graoua-especially as the demand for his drugs and consultation is greatly increasing as the days pass by.

 

Why Dr.Fru is so Popular

Dr. Fru, as young as he is, has become a famous  modern traditional doctor who has proven beyond doubts that, traditional medicine is the bedrock of all medicine on earth and remains the future of all medicines 

Cameroon has  thousands of  traditional practitioners or doctors/healers who are practicing .But Dr. Fru  has, for years now,  been a household name not only  in Cameroon but also abroad because of  the effectiveness of his  medicinal drugs, that knock out diseases from the body - even some considered by conventional doctors as incurable.

“I don’t believe there is any disease that is incurable. If I am not curing a disease, it does not mean traditional doctors elsewhere can not cure it. If I am not curing this or that disease, there may be somebody in say Yaounde or Fru-awa or India or Nigeria curing it.

“Traditional Medicine has no limitations. This is why traditional medicine is referred to as holistic medicine; it is medicine that widens and extends beyond the narrow world view. It is super medicine; it has a lot of super natural properties in it”, Dr. Fru told The Recorder on  August 31, 2010 as he celebrated the 8^th African Traditional Day. 

It is worthy of note here that Dr. Fru, as one of Cameroon’s leading modern traditional doctors, has made it a duty to organize celebrations yearly-and in a grand style- in honor of the Day of African Traditional Medicine, which is August 31

Based on his strong belief that there is no disease that is incurable and motivated by the World health Organization (WHO) conclusion that more than 80% of Africans depend on traditional medicine for the their health needs/care, Dr. Fru engages in serious research on medicinal plants in order to produce quality but affordable made- out -of -plants drugs to treat and or cure patients.

His dedication to research on traditional medicine has led to his discovery and production of not only effective drugs but award-winning drugs.

 The GEIHR Foundation has to its credit many Made- in -The Garden of Eden drugs /medicines, which thousands of Cameroonians and foreigners alike have been relying on to prevent, treat or cure diseases. Many can publicly testify.

Some of the popular and effective drugs of Dr.Fru include Try-Me (The Miraculous Powder, the Balm of Africa), which cures and prevents several ailments. Consider 25 Star Tea, the tea of wisdom

Another recently produced drug is Anti-oxy-Toxin (AOT), which reportedly fights against AIDS ant its causative agents as well as body terrorists; cleans, heals and protects the blood TRIDESOL (Try-Dis One) - a cancer treatment will be launched, The Recorder learned.

It is on the strength of Dr.Fru’s medicinal research and production of many effective but affordable drugs that he has, for several years, been receiving different awards from different organizations especially the media, in recognition and appreciation of his continued contribution to development, by promoting good health. Health is wealth, it is said.

Two Days, Two Awards

Last May 12 at Ayaba Hotel Bamenda, the Life Time media group  pleasantly surprised Dr .Fru with two awards ,one labeled “The Best All-round Modern Tradi-practitioner in Research” and  the other for his drug,TRY-Me,which was rated as “Best Curative Modern Traditional Drug”

Then the next day, May 13, still in Bamenda, The Watch Dog Newspaper also handed him another prestigious award-all in recognition for his sustained efforts in the field of traditional medicine, towards improving and restoring good health. It was “The Watch Dog 2011 Award to the Garden of Eden in Buea”

Dr .Fru thinks that all the awards have been inspired by the Almighty God, adding that they only show how appreciative Cameroonians are, of his medicinal products and that the awards would further motivate him to do more for humanity.

Dr. Fru had before been handed several awards by other media outfits such as The Guardian Post Newspaper and Cameroon Association of English-speaking Journalists (CAMASEJ) Buea chapter. But Dr.Fru wants to gain even greater recognition beyond Cameroon and Africa. “We want to spread our services all over the world, so that in future we can receive international awards”, he said.

A good traditional doctor

According to Fru, “He or she must be morally upright. He must have a good sense of judgment, and conscience. And above, he must do research and adhere to the ethics of the profession of traditional medicine. For, once you go beyond the ethics you become bad.

“A good traditional health practitioner must have the health of his patient as his priority, and not put money first. He must ensure that his practice does not jeopardize the physical well being of the patient, the spiritual or emotional well-being of his patient”
