Papaya Leaves - Cure Dengue Fever

WHAT? Papaya Leaves? Yes, it is a possible way to cure Dengue Fever.

A recent study, conducted by a group of researchers from local(Malaysia) and foreign universities, indicated that the powder from papaya leaves has substances responsible for the release and/or production of thrombocytes (platelets).

The study was initiated and led by Dr S. Kathiresan of AIMST University.

Dr Kathiresan said the leaves of papaya fruit were high in complex vitamins that might help bone marrow to rapidly increase blood platelet production.

“Dengue fever continues to be a major health threat to Malaysia after its first reported outbreak in 1902.

“The dengue virus’ main effect is on platelet production. Nor­mally, a platelet in our body lasts for about five to 10 days and the body replenishes them when required,” he told Bernama.

“This virus destroys the body’s capacity to produce new platelets (during the period the virus is effective). The platelet count for a normal person varies from 150,000 to 250,000 per micro litre of blood. On becoming infected, a patient’s platelet count starts falling.

“A platelet count below 100,000 per microlitre is alarming – immediate medical attention is required. A platelet count below 50,000 can be fatal,” he added.

A fall in the platelet count prevents formation of clots and this leads to haemorrhaging, which results in both internal and external bleeding.

Once such bleeding starts, the situation is almost irreversible, he said.

Dr Kathiresan noted that interest in the papaya began with a simple experiment with papaya leaves which were ground and administered to mice.

The platelet counts before, and 72 hours after dosing, revealed they were significantly higher.

The six-month study, titled Thrombocyte counts in mice after the administration of papaya leaf suspension, published in October 2009, was funded by AIMST University and Universiti Sains Malaysia.

Dr Kathiresan was assisted in the study by Dr Surash Rama­nathan, Dr Sharif M. Mansor and Dr Mas Rosemal M.H. Haris of Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, and Walther H. Wernsdorfer of Medical University of Vienna, Austria.

Green remedy: Researchers find the powder from papaya leaves contains substances that promote the production of platelets.

BY THE WAY! 

I was also a victim of Dengue Fever. IT'S A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! So, if any of your family is affected, PLEASE GIVE THEM LOTS OF MORAL SUPPORTS! =)

When I was in the general hospital, I was not allowed to go anywhere. Furthermore, BLOODY BLOOD TEST will be taken at every hour! I hardly can eat anything and my whole body was feeling really uncomfortable. 

So! It's very important for us to take other EXTRA STEPS to HEAL FASTER! 

1. Drink the Papaya Leaves' Juice. (Though it's very very very bitter)

-Take 1 big papaya leaf and cut it into small pieces. Then, blend it WITH little water. Drink 2-3 teaspoons TWICE a day.

2. DO NOT EAT RICE-MADE FOOD!

- It's will only worsen the sickness cause it is really heaty.

3. DRINK TONNES OF WATER

- Any type of drinks will do, preferably 100 plus, Chrysanthanum and plain water. Drinking a lot will aid in  the blood flow and to prevent concentrated blood rate.

4. RELAX AND FORGET ABOUT WORKS

- It is important not to get tensed up with your sickness. It is only a small challenge in life! Face it and it will  easily end in days. NO BIG DEALS! =D You may even make some really nice friends in those days.

"Lu Hui"

Today, I want to share this awesome plant that will INSTANTLY HEAL BURNT! 

In Chinese, we name it "Lu Hui"        (芦荟）. There are practically two types of Lu Hui: small ones and BIG ones. In our family, we have the bigger ones. It has really sharp thorns at the edge. Unlike usual leaves, this plant has rather THICK LEAVES.

Ways To Take CARE of LUHUI

1. Water the plant TWICE a day. (preferably morning and night)
2. AVOID planting in pot for a HEALTHIER growth.
[ Basically, it is a STUBBORN plant that only need LOW MAINTAINENCE]

How Does it Grow?

It has a special ROOT SYSTEM. Young plants usually outgrow from the ROOT. My family got the young plant in one of the jungle in Kampung Juru, Penang. If anyone need one, feel free to inbox me at ng.suhui@yahoo.com. =)

The Misai Kucing

MK Plant in grandparents' backyard

 




 I've learned pretty much from my grandparents on traditional medicine. And among ALL of them, both  recommended STRONGLY on Misai Kucing.







At first, I really don't know why my granddad would have at least a teapot of MK(Misai Kucing) Tea a day. Even though they say MK tea excels in preventing Diabetes, I don't believe until I saw this STAR article.

http://www.cepp.utm.my/rcentre/files/MalaccaMKucing.jpg

Misai Kucing Tea is basically made from a plant called "Misai Kucing". My grandma and I planted them using natural soil and cows' poo as fertilisers. To kill the worms, we use overnight "rice water" which is REALLY a useful and organic way. 

Then, as shown in the pic above, when the plant's flower blooms, it is ready to be harvested and made into TEA! =)

MK Tea is a well-known traditional way to prevent one from diabetes, hypertension, high blood 

pressure, gout and stroke, as well as protecting kidneys. This is because it has minerals that help 

to relax veins and aiding the flow of waste in the kidneys. 

SO! SPREAD THE JOY AND HEAL MORE LIFES! =D

Now selling ONLY at RM10 (10gram)

Ways to Drink MK TEA

 For a packet, u can divide into half and drink a teapot of the halfed daily. For my family, we usually drink quater of it TOGETHER with normal tea, eg: sunflower tea, jasmine tea. It's aroma is simply delicate. My grandma started planting Misai Kucing when she herself finds that MK tea has a pretty great effect on herself. 

The PAIN of life

Diabetes

 A Normal scene for Diabetic Patient 

Act before it's TOO LATE

       Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).
