Bed nets neither prevent or cure malaria or the poverty that stops prevention or treatment

That is me under a bed net in Lagos, Nigeria in April 2008. Since July 2007 I have travelled to Nigeria 3 times and Kenya once for Medical Journal of Therapeutics Africa. MJoTA was started because the United States has a thriving indigenous pharmaceutical industry, and Africa doesnt have much of one. Also, the US doesnt have malaria because we sprayed DDT on mosquitoes until they stopped making anyone sick, and then we banned DDT throughout the US and throughout the world. Malaria kills kids in Africa, a lot of kids, and at MJpTA, this makes us mad. Macharia Waruingi trained in neurology in France and then wrote a NIH grant proposal for clinical neurophysiology research in Harvard hospitals. When he was there he met a lot of big money investors and developers and came to the conclusion that a lot of disease in Africa is caused by good, good people who give a lot of money to fix things, and because they haven't consulted the humans involved, right down to the village level, they actually make things worse. He wrote a doctoral thesis on this, which MJoTA is publishing next year. Meanwhile I was born to an Irish physician and an English physician in England. They met in the hospital Florence Nightingale built from the funds the English population spontaneously gave her because of her work in the Crimean War. Florence Nightingale invented nursing, she also invented medical writing (MJoTA vol1,no1). CVs for myself and Macharia are on mjota.org.
