When I started this blog, my first post, dated August 17, 2008, was about the use of papaya leaf juice as a remedy for dengue fever. Though many have read the article on this blog, I've not had any feedback from anyone who may have tried this remedy. I had also shared this post on my Yahoo blog in September 2008 and am glad that some readers have found this information helpful and some even shared their experiences and have offered additional material which I would like to share with visitors to this blog - thanks for visiting. Please feel free to leave your comments or share your experiences with other readers.

Dengue Fever - Indonesian experience with papaya leaf juice
I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the SJMC ICU when his pallet counts dropped to 15 after 15 litres of blood transfusion.
His father was so worried that he sought another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a pallet count of 45 after 20 litres of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his pallet count jumped instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.
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 Won Low Kat. But it works.
Pegaga Juice - Cure for Dengue
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that pegaga juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.
A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that pegaga juice would help to reduce the fever and got some pegaga leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with pegaga juice and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever.
Pegaga juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the heatiness in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that its also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heatiness.
Those of us staying in Subang Jaya are lucky as we can get Pegaga juice easily from the Penang Cendol stall in Giant! One cup is only RM1. Tomorrow I will buy a cup for a patient in Assunta and urge him to try it.
Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients. Furthermore it's so easily available. Just go to market and ask the makcik who sells ulam and they usually have pegaga. Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!!

Ellen: I've not come across anyone or any place that sell fresh papaya leaves. The papaya tree is a very common plant and most people in the tropics (countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, etc) have one or two papaya trees growing in their yard. You may sometimes come across papaya trees growing by the roadside. Most people with papaya trees in their garden would gladly give you some leaves from their trees if you ask them, I'm sure. I know I would!

One reader mentioned the use of pegaga (Centella Asiatica/gotu kola/Indian pennywort) leaf juice as another cure for dengue fever as well. We will look into the health benefits of the pegaga plant in a later post.
