Our 9 year old boy has a fever

Around 4pm yesterday our 9 year old boy started having a fever and just felt like lying down, resting, not hungry.  So we respected his body wisdom.  Let him rest, not eat.  I did give him freshly made avocado leaves tea.  He finished a glass full of it when he woke up around 7pm, then slept again.  It’s for his kidneys to cleanse his blood.

We ran out of coconuts so I drove up to the wet market to buy 20 coconuts.  I told my boy that tomorrow he can go on a coconut only diet.  Just drink to his hearts content, eat some coconut meat if he wants.  He wants it cold, sure thing.

Plus tomorrow morning I want him to drink some freshly pounded juice from kamote tops in a cup of water.  Will get some from our neighbor.  I said I want to alkalize his body.  Also as a pro-active measure against any dengue fever possibility.

Why did my son get sick, have a fever?  Too much cooked food, everyday, no stopping.  Meat is too well done.  I’ve been having words with our maids who think beef and horse should be cooked well done like pork.  One maid was more adamant that she did it on purpose.  I told her off that she does not know a thing about beef and horse because she does not eat it in the first place.

So this evening I served rare grilled thick beef steaks to the 2 other children, no rice.  None of that dumb hard to digest food combination with well done meat plus rice.  It’s insane.

Will report again in the morning.
