Leptospirosis treatment costs 6,000 pesos per patient?

by

Our family driver Benny is a flood victim who used to live beside the Tumana river.  They are temporarily housed in the Marikina sports complex while waiting to be handed out free housing in Sta. Rosa Laguna.  In the meantime they suffer from poor sanitation, mosquitoes and threatened by leptospirosis.

Our driver’s wife took their youngest child and moved in with a relative near Pasig.  Four more children up to age 14 are left with our driver.  He says some of his neighbors had caught the deadly leptospirosis and underwent drug and hospital treatment.

The cost of the anti-leptospirosis drugs (antibiotics) is 3,000 pesos.  And the hospitalization costs 3,000 pesos.  Thankfully, all those he knew who were downed by the suspected leptospirosis survived.

Personally, we are lucky to have an alternative place to stay.  We were also victims of the flood.  But since we do not stay in the flood stricken areas, leptospirosis is not our problem.  But if we did catch leptospirosis, my choice of treatment would be beam ray treatments with Romy Macapagal or Elizabeth Oropesa.  Only some 2,000 pesos for a 4 hour treatment and probably your worries are over.

The good thing about the beam ray is it targets the specific microbes instead of doing broad spectrum killing like what antibiotics do where the beneficial bacterias are also killed.  The beam ray treatments are faster, cheaper, better.  What more can you ask for?

My suggestion for the flood victims who are too poor to move is that they at least boil their water for 5 minutes and sip it as tea.  Stop eating those noodles.

Felt some Left Lower Jaw Pain yesterday, I’m suspecting the wisdom tooth removal pocket, called the Beam Ray expert

Yesterday I felt a dull pain on my lower left jaw. It was not my tooth. It was in the jaw. I’m suspecting the wisdom tooth socket. In my ignorant days as part of a pain emergency I had with an extra tooth growing under my tongue, I had agreed to have my two lower jaw wisdom teeth surgically removed as well.

Only later did I read about biological dentists and their aim to properly clean wisdom tooth sockets. That maybe the regular dentist may not have cleaned it properly. I think the technical term is cavitation?

So I’m thinking biological dentist. But prior to the biological dentist, go to the beam ray expert first. Called up Romy Macapagal and he was a wealth of information. I’d gladly see him and pick his brains and be treated at the same time.

So maybe I’m thinking wednesday or thursday. Be treated via the beam ray machine. Kill them parasites and germs in those cavitations. Then see the biological dentist another time.

Sounds like a good plan.
