The medicine didn't work. She still had her fever, and started coughing with phlegm on the 3rd day. She complained her back was itchy, and I saw some rashes there, so I apply some raw Shea Butter on her to stop the itchiness. I suspected Dengue and decided to use the 'Raw Papaya Leaf Juice' method. I got to know this method from my sister whom once got dengue, and was discharge from hospital after drinking it on the 5th day.
I also receive an email about a man who used it to save his son's life:
'..my son was in the critical stage at the ICU.. from a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged.'
I thought juice from leaf should not be harmful. Therefore, I decided to stop her cough medicine. Gave my kid 1 big chinese-soup-spoon of raw papaya leaf juice. After 10mins, her fever went down from 39 to 36, and keeping a good temperature for 24 hours! I gave her another spoonful on 4th day to maintain the body temperature.
Then 5th day, I thought she was ok. I stopped giving her the juice, and start the antibiotic for her phlegm.. the fever came back within half a day! She seems weak and keep sleeping!! Midnight immediately gave her another spoon of juice again.
CNY eve (6th day), I brought her to the UH pediatric, and doctor decided to do the blood test due to many-days fever. He told us if we suspect Dengue, then we must stop taking any type of antibiotic and go for a check up. No antibiotic intake because Dengue need the body own immune system to fight, and antibiotic just weaken the immune system. And if Dengue and cough/phlegm happens together, treats the Dengue and forget about the other first.
When the result came out, the doctor was surprise her platelet was at 135, but with the WBC (white blood cell) low at 3.5. "Keep giving what you are giving, she should be fine" was what the doctor said. The next day, we just went back for a 2nd check up, my girl is already jumping up and down (and all of us first time celebrate CNY 1st day at UH!).
I continue giving her the raw papaya leaf juice for 7 days without break, and she's fully recovered. Later I spoke to few mothers, and one mother told me she used it for his son (4 years old) when suspected Dengue and later confirmed as H1N1 case, whom fever also controlled by the juice and recovered later.
These were the steps I did:
1. Pluck 2 pieces of raw papaya leaves from papaya tree, clean the leaves.
2. Tear and take the leafy part (throw away the stem).
3. Cut the leafy part into small pieces and pound them.
4. Squeeze the juice into a bowl, filter it to a spoon.
5. You will only get 1 chinese-soup-spoon of juice (roughly 2 tbsp).
Do not boil or cook or rinse the leaves with hot water. What you need is the raw leave juice. It is very bitter, just swallow it and drink some water to rinse your mouth afterwards.
I believe what the papaya leaf does was not just bringing down fever. It should have some other healing properties bringing the platelet up, and also killing the viruses. However, no institution is studying it.
Well.. this is the start of my CNY. I hope what I have learned and used can benefit others. Please pass around this information, I believe it will safe lives.
