HOW TO PREVENT AND CURE DENGUE FEVER
What is Dengue fever?
Dengue fever is an infectious disease transmitted by the bite of a female mosquito called Aedes Aegypti. Recent findings revealed that this type of mosquito thrives only in a clear water,plants and puddles of rain water.
This disease is marked by severe headache, eyes,muscles and joint pains,sore throat,catarrhal symptoms and sometimes skin eruptions. This disease comes on suddenly after an incubation period of from three to six days, then decreases somewhat,only to increase again on the fourth or fifth day at which time rashes may appear.
At the onset of the fever, it is similar to any normal fever,however , it does not go into a convulsive temperature. On the third day, the patient would already be feeling nauseatic. Vomiting, diarrhea, inflammation of the thighs, hardening of the stomach and even skin rashes also appear.
WHAT TO DO DURING THE ONSET OF DENGUE FEVER ?
At the onset of dengue fever, it is advisable to let the child eat apples. Apples are rich in PECTIN and when fermented turns into a special kind of alcohol compound believed to weaken the virus that causes dengue fever. The pectin in the apples will readily join the blood plasma and prevent hemorrhage. Especially, it is very effective in eliminating toxins from the body and in cleansing the liver.
Peel off the skin, remove the core and the seeds so the apple can easily ferment. Scrape with a spoon and mash it, when it starts to discolor, fermentation could occur right away so it is the time to feed the apple to the patient. The best time to give the apple to the patient is at 6:00 in the evening when the body temperature is cooler. However, you don't have to wait until nightfall if the fever has started in the morning. Feed the patient as much apples as he can take. The following day, the patient will defecate, urinate and then he will be very hungry. Feed him with brown rice, sweet potatoes or white fish but still in a soft form. And then, you can give again the apple but don't do it simultaneously.
WHAT TO GIVE DURING THE CHRONIC STAGE OF DENGUE FEVER?
During the chronic stage of dengue fever, there is already inflammation and bursting of blood vessels. And possibly complications with the liver and in the intestines.
At this stage, it is best for the patient to take Calisaya liquid tonic or Calisaya tablet. For children, one teaspoon three times a day or one tablet two times a day in an empty stomach or before meals. For adults, one tablespoon or one tablet three times a day. Calisaya has nothing to do with the cure of dengue fever but is effective in healing its complication like liver infections, hepatitis and blood infections.
The Apple tonic and Calisaya tonic or tablet should not be taken simultaneously to the patient.
However, if there are no complications, give the patient an apple tonic. If not available, give the patient an apple fruit. At this point it is advisable also to isolate the patient and put him in a room where it is cooler because the virus grow in hot temperature. Remove the patient's clothes to make him comfortable and cooler.
WHAT ARE THE FOODS TO BE AVOIDED IF ONE HAS DENGUE FEVER?
There are certain foods to be avoided when one has dengue fever such as all red meat, crabs, shrimps, lobsters and all other crustaceans; peanuts, bcause oil cannot be easily eliminated from the body, fresh milk, pasteurized milk, cheese and other dairy products. Also, don't give the patient white bread.
It is not advisable for pregnant women to take Calisaya tonic and Calisaya tablet.
