SCIENCE INTERROGATING BELIEF: BRIDGING THE OLD & NEW TRADITIONS OF MEDICINE IN AFRICADavid T Okpako- African Books Collective, 2015- first edition- good condition Traditional African medicine (TAM) is an ancient healing art.

In this wide-ranging study the author presents an interpretation of the beliefs that constitute the theoretical framework for TAM practices, and concludes that the beliefs share many characteristics with modern medical theory, but there are significant differences from the latter which reflect the African experience. Fever, malaria and plant remedies, have one common denominator i.e., the biological phenomenon known as inflammation. This is the backbone of the hypothesis put forward in the second half of the book: In traditional African societies malaria was successfully cured with plant remedies which suppressed malaria-induced inflammation; because the people had significant immunity against the disease, the causative plasmodium parasite was eliminated by the host's body.
