more about dengue and its history will be educate us to take care I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son
who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the
critical stage at the SJMC ICU when his pallet counts drops to 15 after 15
litres of blood transfusion. His father was so worried that he seeks
another friend鈥檚 recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me
that he give his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a pallet count of
45 after 20 litres of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya
leaf juice, his pallet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and
nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he ask me
to pass this good news around.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2 pcs just cleaned and pound and
squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So
two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with
hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or
sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like Won Low Kat. But it
works.
Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that
papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant
now, I think it's good to share this with all. A friend of mine had dengue
last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count
had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to
fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year
old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her
body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own
battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying
very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was
admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce
the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice
out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her
fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered
after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be
overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to
have fever. Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the
heatiness in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it鈥檚
also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heatiness.

Bombay Hospital Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an acute infectious viral disease usually affecting infants and young children. It is characterized by fever during the initial phase and other symptoms like headache, pain in the eye, joint pain, muscle pain, and other pain, followed by signs of bleeding such as petechiae (red tiny spots on the skin), nosebleeding and gumbleeding. If there is blood in the stools and/or blood in the vomitus and accompanied by shock, this is called Dengue Shock Syndrome and is often fatal.
Aedes Aegypti, the transmitter of the disease is a day-biting mosquito which lays eggs in clear water container, such as flower vases, cans, rain barrels, old rubber tires, etc. The adult mosquitoes rest in dark places of the house.

How to Prevent Dengue H-Fever
