Papaya leaves versus Dengue virus

Papaya leaves juice are a possible cure for dengue fever, a recent study revealed.

It has been reported that many people consume papaya leaves or pegaga juice to
increase their platelet count after they contract dengue fever.

A recent study, conducted by a group of researchers from local and foreign
universities, indicated that the powder from papaya leaves has substances
responsible for the release and/or production of thrombocytes (platelets).

The study was initiated and led by Dr S. Kathiresan of AIMST University. Dr
Kathiresan said the leaves of papaya fruit were high in complex vitamins that
might help bone marrow to rapidly increase blood platelet production.

“The dengue virus’ main effect is on platelet production. Nor­mally, a platelet
in our body lasts for about five to 10 days and the body replenishes them when
required,”

“This virus destroys the body’s capacity to produce new platelets (during the
period the virus is effective). The platelet count for a normal person varies
from 150,000 to 250,000 per micro litre of blood. On becoming infected, a patient’s
platelet count starts falling.

“A platelet count below 100,000 per microlitre is alarming – immediate medical
attention is required. A platelet count below 50,000 can be fatal,” he added.

A fall in the platelet count prevents formation of clots and this leads to
haemorrhaging, which results in both internal and external bleeding.

How should Take~

Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze
with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.. So two tablespoon
per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose
its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have
to swallow it like that.
