Munene, the journey...

They said we should wait. The wazees were deliberating. They were discussing "important" issues of national security and interest. So, we walked out. We stood by the door. It was raining hard, and we strained to stand as close to the wall as possible, to avoid getting drenched. Inside, the air was exuberant. The wazees were laughing heartily as they imbibed to their fill with nyama choma and Tusker baridi . My stomach was grumbling. I looked around at my friend. She was shivering. "She's going to catch a cold if we don't get somewhere warm soon," I thought to myself. I could stay here and wait to see the wazees and tell them why we had come.

The germ contains phospholipids; the essential oils that enable the building of the cell membrane. What is a healthy cell membrane good for? Good health. Healthy cell membrane allows the passage of wastes out of the cell and the absorption of nutrients into the cell. Nutrients help to fuel the cell and hence the body. What is  the  effect of unhealthy cell membrane? Basically disease, lethargy and lack of energy. When wastes build up in the cell, they cause disease. When the cell does not have the nutrients it requires then the body becomes lethargic. ...
