He insisted that his domain was traditional practice and not modern
medicine as some quarters had come to believe. He equally used the occasion to
state that his medicines were tested by IMPM,
a research centre under the supervision of The Ministry of Scientific Research
in Yaounde for toxicity test. All the 19 different medicines that were
submitted were tested non- toxic.

In his keynote speech on the
occasion, he recalled that at this time of the year, it was usual for people who
made it to the new year to be happy and thank God for the gift of a New Year. He thanked the massive turn out describing it as a sign of love and hope that
his guests had for him.
He said this event was coming in the
wake of a New Year Message from him in which he evaluated the events that took
place around the world and in Cameroon in 2015. In this message, he did mention
threats of peace by terrorist groups around the world that have claimed the
lives of so many people and said no one could remain indifferent in the face of
such challenges.
Referring to his New Year Message he
said they were subjected to high taxes and that the prohibition of communication
to the population by the National
Communication Council was playing negatively
to the growth of his activities. He said he could only promise a good future
for their activities in meeting the health needs of Cameroonians should these
blockages be uplifted.

He extended his heartfelt New Year Wishes to
their Royal Majesties,the Fons of Balikumbat, Baligashu, Baligansin, Bafanji
and Bamunkumbit as well as the entire people of these villages especially
those who were present.
In a press briefing that rounded up
the occasion, Dr. Dewah summed it up in the following manner: “At the end of it
all, we were very successful in 2015 especially towards the end of the year. We
succeeded to get our products to be analysed by IMPM, a Scientific Research
Centre of the State on Medicinal Plants which declared our products non-toxic.
That is a big step taken which rekindles confidence in what I am doing. I never
doubted my products because I have been in this activity for almost forty
years. I have confidence in the products that I give the sick. Our services are
not like some simple shops or pharmacies. People therefore don’t come to us to
buy medicine.
People come to us to be cured and this is simply what we are
doing and I am truly proud of it. I am also pleased to have you around me
especially as you are of the Fourth Estate.
Anybody who has nothing to hide is
always with the media. I invite you to always give the true image of me. Do not
raise me to the status of an elephant when I am not and do not also do the
contrary. If I am an elephant then call me one. This will help public
authorities who do not understand what I am doing to do so? Sometimes they present
our products as modern medicines that are sold in Pharmacies. They as such
accuse me of things that I am not guilty of as if I were running a Pharmacy. I
am a Traditional Practitioner taking care of people’s health. I call on
Traditional Medicine to be regulated. This is proving difficult because the
other practitioners are growing in the disorder that now reigns in the practice
and are not interested in regulating the sector.”
Beginning with workers who came in from
Yaounde, Douala, Kumba, Bafoussam Bamenda and other parts of the country, his
collaborators trooped in to give him New Year Wishes. Noticeable amongst these
were journalist from across the country who came in their numbers to give the
Doctor and his family New Year wishes at his Balikumbat Palace. Speaking on
behalf of the journalists of English expression who attended the occasion,
Ninpa Francis of Radio Hot Cocoa, an FM Station in Bamenda extended best wishes
to Dr. Dewa and promised to truthfully inform the public about activities of
Traditional Practitioners especially those of Dr. Dewah. The occasion was
graced by colourful traditional dancing.
