Who is Ambilikile Mwasapile?

Ambilikile Mwasapile is a Tanzanian retired priest of the Lutheran Church who uses a tree known as mugariga to make a non-flavored drink which he administers to patients reporting various chronic diseases. The main illnesses that people flock to Rev. Mwasapile to treat include symptoms of advanced AIDS, as well as diabetes and heart problems, stroke, high blood pressure or low blood pressure. There has been debate about clinical assessment of the medicine, an irrelevant issue from a theological point of view since Rev. Mwasapile administers what is indeed a miracle cure, not due to its clinical or naturalistic properties - as the tree is believed to be a poison - but through a deliberate act of divinity to create this instance of miracle healing. There is no dispute that many people were healed when they took the potion, but there are also reports that many did not last long in that curative state, partly because - as a theological hypothesis - they were only interested in the medicine in a naturalistic sense, and not bothered by the faith aspect, of avoiding the errors that led them to the state of disease, as well as positively showing themselves to their parish priests or any other religious authority and praising the Lord God about that instance of healing. When a person has ignored one or both of these requirements, as underlined in what Jesus says on healing, and himself citing Moses, it is possible a cleavage arises in the healing instance and it is reversed.
