How We Fought Dengue

I am not a doctor. This is just sharing what I believe helped us.
Go to the doctor or hospital if you are not feeling well. Remember, follow your doctor. If anything on the list below is not allowed,
then don't do it.

What we did while confined in the hospital:

1. Prayers

Praying is the best first thing to do. It will also make you calm. You can do it silently while
traveling to the hospital, or whenever there is a chance.

The following are not necessarily in order:

2. Tawa-tawa

We believe it is effective. Boil to make a drink.

3. Camote tops and malunggay

Very nutritious, sure this will help.

4. Water

Drink plenty of clean water, alkaline if available. Avoid distilled water because it is acidic.
It is a good sign if you keep on urinating and drinking. This was the time when my wife and
two nephews are getting better. They kept on drinking and urinating. Same with other
dengue patients.

For the following, avoid red and dark colors:

5. Food

This is the time to be "matakaw", eat a lot specially the nutritious food.

6. Fruit Juices

Drink a lot of fruit juices. If possible, the real or natural ones, not in can, bottle or tetra pack.

7. Sports drinks

This may also help but be moderate.

I am also suggesting to the ones who are capable of donating clean water, food and dextrose to the dengue patients, please do so.
