As I reported last night, our 9 year old boy started a fever around 4pm yesterday. He was not fed last night. His body needs to concentrate on healing. We just gave him avocado leaves tea last night. That initiated some peeing.
This morning he woke up ahead of me and had a guava and some papaya. Then he had some fresh raw coconut juice. Then a little later we got some fresh kamote tops, pounded them, added 1 cup of water. It was difficult to drink. He only was able to down 1/2 cup of that stuff.
I steeped some commercial dried Carica Taua Taua tea bags in hot water while I walked around the village streets to check for real live Tawa Tawa weeds. Success. I got a handful. I proceeded to make the Tawa Tawa / Gatas Gatas / Anti Dengue Fever tea as instructed in the Dengue Cure website at http://www.denguecure.com.
Found out that the Fresh Tawa Tawa tea tastes better than the tea bags. My son is able to drink a full cup of this. And we put the rest in a sports drink bottle. I brought my son with me to work so I can keep a personal eye on him. His fever is down, just a little now at 10:40am.
The plan is to make the tawa tawa tea his day’s drink. Absolutely no cooked food for the day. Only raw fruits. Maybe coconuts or some citrus. No pushing to feed. Only when his body wisdom says he wants something.
So we are on anti-dengue fever protocol simply because it is reported in the news that dengue fever is in epidemic proportions. There is no harm in extending our fever protocol to a pro-active anti dengue fever protocol.
