David Ssenfuka, a Ugandan herbalist treating cancer, diabetes, and other ailments has announced the suspension of treatment and considering asylum in other countries due to continued threats against him and his herbal remedy.

Named SD2018, the herbal remedy has since gone through animal trials, and according to the results, it is not only a remedy for diabetes but also curative.

The government recently gave a green light to Ssenfuka to carry out clinical trials for his herbal remedy after it passed tests on product safety.

President Museveni also recently reached out to Ssenfuka and pledged support to him.

However, addressing journalists at the Makerere Guest House today, Ssenfuka accompanied by his associates from Leonia-NNN-Medical Research and Diagnostic Centre said following the announcement that the president has pledged support to his research, he has received several threats that he says have forced him to think otherwise.

Ssenfuka told journalists that some of the people behind his woes that he described as mafia are individual medics from the Uganda Cancer Institute whom he accused of “feeling jealousy” over his herbal remedy.

He noted that he is likely to relocate to neighboring Rwanda, United Arab Emirates, or Saudi Arabia where is negations are undergoing to secure research hubs.

Joshua Buyinja, the Head of Corporate Affairs at the diagnostic center says that the suspension of cancer treatment at their community research center will stay until the government generates and unveil protocols that will officially oversee human clinical trials that will likely cause Ssenfuka’s approval of herbal medicines as effective drugs for diabetes and cancer.
