Our Story

In March 2007, while on holiday in Africa, I felt slightly unwell. Misdiagnosed with malaria, I was treated with a medication called Halfan. Soon after taking the medication my health began to deteriorate very fast! It felt like something very strange was eating up my organs and entire body. So, I quickly cut my holidays short and returned to the UK.

Kidney Damage

Upon arriving in the UK, I immediately checked myself into hospital and after conducting a series of tests, it was confirmed that I have suffered serious kidney damage as a result of the medication (Halfan).

The doctors explained that the medication had cut through my kidneys leaving several holes in my kidneys leading to Proteinuria - a condition where protein leaks abnormally from the kidneys. I was also found to have developed high blood pressure as a result and 3 years down the line in 2010, I was subsequently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I am now at stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

Since 2007, my life has been a journey of pains and many tears from hospitalisation to painful side effects of medications like Metformin, Linaglipton, Amlodipine, Ramipril, Canaglifloxin, Doxazosin, Bisoprolol, Simvastatin, you name it! They keep piling up in their numbers and so are their side effects like headaches, sleeplessness, lightheadedness, low energy, weak bones, fatigue, stomach cramps, numbness, tingling of the feet and fingers, the list is unending. This has been my journey until December 2023.

A Chance Encounter That Changed My Life Forever

In December 2023, while on another holiday in Africa, I accompanied my mom to a bustling local market. There, I was approached and greeted by this young man who invited me to visit his store. I promised to stop by when we finished shopping. So, when we finished, I went to the young man’s store, where I was drawn to the warm aroma of herbs. Curious, I asked him what it was that smelled so nice and he grabbed a container, opened it and showed me the herbs. The aroma became even stronger and irresistible. Becoming more curious, I asked the young man what the herbs are and what they are used for and he replied “for general cooking”. So, I decided to buy a few of the herbs without thinking much of it at the time and unaware that the herbs I was buying would soon change my life forever.

It Was Christmas

Everyone was having fun and so much to eat and drink. So, I thought to myself, why don’t I have some fun too? Lord have mercy! So, I indulged myself in eating some sweet cake and even topped it up with a drink called Malta Guinness. I love Malta Guiness! I knew that these would spike my sugar levels due to the high sugar contents but I needed a bit of freedom from the many years of restrictive diets. I even had some sugar canes on that same day.

Later that day, I decided to try out some of the herbs. So, I added a bit of the herbs to my meal. I usually check my blood sugar levels before a meal and at least 2 hours after a meal. It was time to check my blood sugar level and I had braced for the usual high. Surprise, surprise! I was pleasantly surprised when my device beeped with a reading of 6.1 mmol! This was unusual considering all the sugary foods that I had consumed. In disbelief, I washed my hands and tested again. The result? 6.3 mmol.

Shout Out To My Mom

I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I shouted out to my mom. “Mom, mom come and see”! My mom has been a source of hope, strength and encouragement to me throughout the years. During the very critical and early stage of my kidney damage, she would clean all my mess with pleasure. I could see through her eyes, the pains she was going through seeing me in a critical condition. Anyways, I shouted out to my mom and she rushed down asking “what”? I showed her my sugar reading and she was amazed!

Then, she asked me to test again and I informed her that it was my second test. So, she said to check my blood pressure too. When I did, I was astonished to see that it had dropped to a healthy range of 127/83, numbers I hadn’t seen in years. “This can’t be true!” My mom exclaimed! For context, my sugar levels are usually high (from 12 mmol upwards) especially after eating anything slightly sugary, for example, muesli, cheerios or even when I am extra careful with what I eat and my blood pressure is often very high and around 178/105, 171/97, 167/101, and sometimes even as high as 188/124.

Something Struck My Mind

As we began to think of what could be responsible for such normal readings, something struck my mind about the herbs and I told my mom that it could be the herbs. So, my mom suggested we try the herbs the next day. Next day, I added some of the herbs again to my meal and before I did, I checked my blood sugar reading, it was 8.7 mmol. Two hours after my meal, I checked again, it was 5.4 mmol! I do not get these sort of healthy results not even when I have used my metformin, linagliptin and all the medications as prescribed. Nothing seems to work!

Testing The Discovery

We continued to tweak and test things around and on another occasion, I added the herbs to my tea, although it didn’t go quite well with tea, I had a sugar reading of 5.6 mmol which was consistent with the other readings I’ve had. Convinced that the herbs had something to do with these miraculous results, I decided to test them further. Next day, I ate a sugary breakfast and had the herbs. In 2 hours, my blood sugar had dropped from 9.2 mmol to 4.4 mmol. The herbs were working wonders! So, we went back to get more from the same young man.

A Revolutionary Remedy Was Born

By the time I returned to the UK in January 2024, I had seen enough to be convinced. I incorporated the herbs into my daily meals, and within 37 days, my HbA1c levels had dropped from 61 to 46, a dramatic improvement and by June 2024, I had completely reversed my type 2 diabetes to the extent that my GP had said that my sugar levels were “too tightly controlled”.

Determined to share this discovery, I began experimenting with recipes that combined the herbs into a convenient drink. Friends and family who tested the drink experienced the same life-changing results. This success has inspired me to scale my recipe from the kitchen to a factory. And so, in October 2024, Bububotanics was born introducing Glu-Co Mend, Pressure Ease and Instant Calm, natural drinks designed to support healthy blood sugar, blood pressure, and overall well-being.
