Remedy Description



"...In Kenya changaa is popular as a poor man's drink. Sometimes industrial

small amounts of methanol and other dangerous chemicals are blended in to

increase changaa's potency.



In one case the changaa was almost 95% methanol. When a goat liver

was dropped into this changaa batch it started to corrode the goat's

liver within minutes. The local hospital treateed 166 people. Of these

51 died and 18 people lost their sight.



The antidote: the name brand liquor they could not afford in the first

place..



With the hospital overflowing, Dr. Wako, dispatched staff to buy up

all available Vodka and spirits. After drinking the real alchol the

vitims will process the ethanol in that alcohol and allow the more potent

alcohol to be excreeted..."
