Miracle cure for dengue

It could be a miracle cure for dengue.
And the best part is you can make it at
home. (apologies for the typo in the pic)
The juice of the humble papaya leaf has
been seen to arrest the destruction of
platelets that has been the cause for so
many deaths this dengue season.
Ayurveda researchers have found that
enzymes in the papaya leaf can fight a
host of viral infections, not just dengue,
and can
help regenerate platelets and white
blood cells.
Scores of patients have benefited from
the papaya leaf juice, say doctors.
Papaya has always been known to be
good for the digestive system. Due to its
rich vitamin and mineral content, it is a
health freak's favourite. But its dengue -
fighting properties have only recently
been discovered.
Chymopapin and papin - enzymes in the
papaya leaf - help revive platelet count,
say experts. ...

===========================
how to prepare the juice:
Take leaves of a papaya tree. Wash
properly, grind, and squeeze the juice
into a bowl or a glass. Drink a glass or
two every day for at least 4 days
(minimum) apart from other fruit juices.
Remember, it’s not the fruit, but the
leaves of papaya. (FYI it tastes Bitter!)"

Several friends have written in to tell us
and our other readers that papaya leaf
juice is often given to dengue sufferers
in their countries. We want to thank each
of you for taking your time to share that
with us. We’re compiling those
comments here.
Sanjeev from Rampur U.P, India, was one
of the first readers to suggest papaya
leaf juice for dengue. “The tested
medicine for dengue is papaya leaf juice,
2 teaspoons twice a day, with gloyey
(ayurvedic medicine.)"
Ashok Somani from Bagalkot Karnatak,
India, also suggests using papaya leaf to
help dengue sufferers, and explains how
to make it. Ashok writes: “When the
dengue is serious and the blood platelet
count is decreasing, take a leaf of a
papaya tree and grind with water. Take
this juice on an empty stomach.”
It’s interesting to note that papaya leaf
juice seems to be a common natural help
for dengue patients in at least several
Eastern countries. Janaka from Sri Lanka
also wrote mentioning papaya leaf juice
for dengue. Here’s Janaka’s comment:
“Apart from many natural herbs which
will increase one’s immunity, the juice of
papaya leaves significantly increases the
platelet levels, even with a few
teaspoons. In my country it is standard
medical practice even in hospitals, since
they claim they have no treatment for
this disease!”
