Heal me!

Oh powerful lizard queen ...

But I would not inject myself with her blood though ...

"People with chronic health problems, irrespective of where they live, look around for all sorts of treatment, including dangerous options," Prof. Baguma said adding: "They may get temporary relief by using lizard blood; of course they won't heal of Aids and will only become worse off economically".

The first comment is right that the article is a little too lenient on the quacks, or not scolding enough against them.  If someone just read the first few paragraphs it could appear to give the quacks some credence.

But I like the last paragraph, prayer absolutely needs to be mentioned alongside such things because it is exactly the same!
