Tragic Death in Canada Highlights Dangers of Extreme Fasting and Yesu Mogya

A Ghanaian woman in her mid-30s has died in Toronto, Canada, after prolonged fasting and excessive consumption of “Yesu Mogya,” a liquid substance believed to possess spiritual healing powers.

The woman’s body was discovered in her apartment, with signs indicating she may have been dead for several days.

The incident has raised concerns about the growing popularity of Yesu Mogya and the dangers of prolonged fasting without medical supervision.

Experts warn that extended fasting can lead to electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and malnutrition, while the substance itself may contain unpredictable compounds due to its fermentation process.

The Ghanaian diaspora in Canada is calling for increased education and awareness about the health risks associated with extreme spiritual practices.

A viral video featuring a Ghanaian woman cautioning against such practices has gained significant traction, with many urging individuals to prioritize their health and well-being.

Healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of balancing cultural and spiritual practices with modern healthcare needs.

Dr. Kwame Mensah, a Toronto-based physician, notes that while faith is a powerful motivator, the potential harm from Yesu Mogya and prolonged fasting cannot be ignored.

Community outreach workers are also stressing the need for culturally sensitive health education to address these concerns.

The narrator in the viral video issues a heartfelt plea, urging individuals to prioritize their health and well-being, particularly when engaging in spiritual practices that may pose health risks.

“Please, take care of your health. Spiritual devotion should never come at the cost of your life.”
