“Is it not the same agbo (herbs and portions) from Africa that these people and their fans, who are Africans, always descredit? Reactions trail the King’s Cancer diagnoses and treatment plan
King Charles of England will adopt herbs and portions popularly called agbo in Nigeria, in place of chemotherapy and radiation for treatment of his prostate cancer.
Platforms Africa reports that the Buckingham Palace, which confirmed that the King was diagnosed with cancer, didn’t give details of his treatment.
A royal expert, Tom Bower, has, however, said during an interview on Great Britain Network (GBN) that the King will not adopt chemotherapy or radiation for treatment.

To Bower in the interview monitored by Platforms Africa, the herbs and alternative medicine discredited by many people is King Charles’ choice of treatment.
He said; “The King (Charles) is a fan and always a promoter of alternative medicine. He will not be one for chemotherapy. He has argued against it.

“He is a great believer in natural herbs and portions and things like that. So my guess is, he is taking advice from a man called Micheal Dixon, who he’s championed for many years, who head’s his own (the King’s) Natural Alternative Medicine Institute discredited by many people but the king is a believer in it.
“I find it surprising last night when people said that the King would have to undergo chemotherapy, radiation, and all that. He will not. Forget that. He doesn’t believe in it. And, it is a rik. I find it a risk. He will want to take the herbs and portions in a quiet way.”
Meanwhile, some Africans and beluevers in alternative medicines have reacted to the news.
A frontline medical doctor and public affairs analyst, Omotuyi Mebawondu, wrote in a reaction on Platforms Africa Forum; “These same people will tell us that African medicines are bad because we don’t have the dosage, etc. So, how do you do more to our herbs in terms of improvement on all fronts?”
