JEDDAH, 24 September 2006 — An elderly man in Renya was so ecstatic in his belief that another man had cured his diabetes with an herbal remedy that he offered the medicine man a gift: His daughter. Now the medicine man is off on a honeymoon and for the time being isn’t able to offer his patients a cure that all the science in the world has been unable to discover, but is allegedly locked a secret herbal recipe “discovered” by one man in Jeddah, the daily Al-Madinah reported yesterday. Great! So as soon as the man returns from his honeymoon, Ministry of Health officials should pay him a visit so that Saudi Arabia can give to the world a cure that has so far eluded the brainpower of the world’s scientific community. (Either that, or the old man should go immediately to a hospital before he dies believing that his potentially fatal blood sugar condition has been cured.)
