Hello guys,
i hope you are all fine. i need some help here. one day as i was navigating through the net, trying as usual to find an answer to my problem i came across this website http://www.mjekimi.com/ and with all his claims of having a herb that could make a paraplagia or quad stand again, i got concerned, i did, God knows i want to get up and work. so i contacted him on email. he replied and told me if i need help, and i can pay for it then i have it. i asked him how much he does it, and how he goes about with this treatment whether one has to travel to him but he was not straight. he instead sent me his phone number. So I come to you guyz to please help me on this. is he a cornman or do you believe he is for real.

If it were that easy and he actually had some kind of cure/concoction, he would be a very busy and rich man and I'm sure unable to speak with you directly. I wouldn't trust it either!

Sadly there are far too many in the "industry" who are more than happy to take your money & give you & your family false hope; they know what we want to hear "You CAN walk" & lets face it....the more desperate we are to walk again the more likely it is we'll come up with money that we really didn't have (taking on loans borrowing from family & friends , etc.). And the fact that he didn't give you a base-line price such as "$100 per session, route A costs ___ & route B costs ___ ".....yeah....STAY AWAY!!! :nono:

Hi,




The world wide web is full of sharks and snake oil salesmen willing to prey on people's desires where conventional methods have no answer to fix what ail's them ...... he could be relying on someone's desperation for a cure where all else has failed. Anyone can setup a website , post images along with satisfied client testimonials. Be very careful and far more suspicious. Sounds like some pimp'n is going on.

I say, go for it . . . . give him everything you got, sir. How much is in your pocket anyway, a couple bucks?

I know of an herb that'll make you FLY.

And lastly, who said you can't work sitting down?

I got a few more, but I digress.

Forget it.

Elsewhere you state that you struggle to find enough money for food.

Even if this charlatan's products did work, you would never be able to afford them.

Go for it Swit,, there is nothing more fun than conning a con man. I kept one on the string for two months, once, before I got tired of playing with the nitwit, and told him I died. He bought that too.

You'll find a lot of these things come out of Nigeria. Seems to be a cottage industry there,, suckering gullable Americans and Europeans,,, mostly Americans, tho. apparantly we'll buy anything, if it's packaged right.

I'm all for stringing the guy along for a bit of fun, whenever I get rung up by telemarketers from India trying to sell me a new phone deal I always tell them I don't actually have a phone, it's amazing how many accept it.

You might even find out enough about the guy to alert the authorities if he is ripping people off

What say we make an appointment, break his scrawny neck, then shove his face full of his "wonder" herbs and wait for his testimonial to pop up on his website?

hi

he sounds like he also works as a con man who tricks old adies into sending him their life savings.

I agree with the other poster, look into serious government/medical trials and put your name on a list. Write to millionaires with sci to see how much luck they have had spending money on being able to walk. If money can buy the ability for the paralyzed to walk, it would be out there for all to know about it. They would not be keeping it a secret so they dont make money.

Please dont be conned. Spend your money to have the best life you can have now, spend it on yourself. Or as someone else said - donate to research.

Best wishes.
