Yesterday the Kafwa in Luapula Zambia, took us to meet Moses, a 93 year old marvel.  He nearly pulled Jac off his feet as he pumped his hand and engaged every facial wrinkle in a ear-to-ear smile of joyous welcome.  Moses has every reason to be happy.  Several months ago a heavy brick block fell from a rooftop causing a deep and serious wound on his leg that soon became infected.  The doctors wanted to amputate.  Not so fast said the Kafwa who immediately started treating the leg with a homemade guava leaf antiseptic.  They eventually also used some triple antibiotic ointment we had provided.  End result?  A saved leg with minimal scarring and a doctor who has invited the Kafwa to teach his staff how to make the guava leaf antiseptic. For you curious readers, you might want to Google guava leaf antiseptic to learn about research confirming it's efficacy against staph infections.  It's free, it's readily available in many countries---and it works miracles for people like Moses.
