Evaluation of the use of garri suspension to manage diarrhoea.

 

Garri can be used to treat diarrhoea. When a person has diarrhoea,just give the person soaked garri and the diarrhoea will stop because the garri absorbs the toxins that go into the intestine thus promoting gut health. Diarrhoea can readily lead to dehydration if not properly handled. 

Dehydration if not corrected can lead to death depending on the rate and length of the period. Diarrhoea can be managed locally using the sugar-salt solution,the oral rehydration therapy( ORT).

The use of garri water suspension has been used to stop diarrhoea in homes this is common in the rural environment. 

 Did you know that soaking garri in water for few minutes and decanting the water is an instant source of energy and vitamins? Yes garri water is also beneficial. A recent study has shown the efficacy of using the garri suspension to manage diarrhoea. 

 The aim of the study was to identify a suitable substrate for oral re-hydration solution at home. The study used staple from cassava which is garri. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of cassava-salt suspension (CSS) prepared from a dietary staple, cassava, with added sodium chloride. 

 The results were compared with those of standard World Health Organization (WHO) recommended ORS. One hundred thirty-two dehydrated children aged between 6 and 24 months with acute diarrhoea of less than 3 days duration were chosen for the study and randomly re-hydrated with CSS or WHO-ORS. The intake of ORS (CSS or WHO-ORS), water, and food was comparable in both groups. The mean stool output on day 1, total stool output, and duration of diarrhoea were 45.3 +/- 37.3 g/kg, 60.8 +/- 58.9 g/kg, and 18.9 +/- 22.4 h for the group on CSS. 

These are significantly different from the corresponding values of 69.7 +/- 64.9 g/kg, 88.2 +/- 100.4 g/kg, and 28.2 +/- 27.0 h obtained for controls. Failure of therapy occurred in four children on CSS (6%) and three children on WHO-ORS (4.5%). 

 It is concluded that CSS is both efficacious and safe for use as an ORS, particularly in the home management of acute diarrhoea in children. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7980837/)

Ponmo vs leather : The multi- billion dollar leather industry.

 

The leather value chain is a billion dollar industry within the multi- billion dollar  red meat value chain. Bovine leather is an essential part of the multi billion dollar industry.By working together, we can create innovative solutions to drive the leather sector forward. 

 An effective policy could inspire the widespread use of leather in place of other materials. Once established, it could create a new stream of revenue while creating sustainable jobs in tanneries and related industries.

The development of the leather value chain will create a new revenue stream as well as increase participation in the red meat value chain. The leather value chain is comprised of many different players including tanneries, tannery owners, leather manufacturers, and retailers. Each player has a  role in creating and maintaining this valuable chain.

The leather industry as at 2019 was worth 17 billion but now its about 300 billion dollars.
