Dengue fever is dreaded in the Philippines especially during rainy season, so I am watchful of my surroundings of stagnant water in containers which could be the breeding place of mosquitoes.
My son lives separately from me, south of Manila, nearer his place of work. When I learned that he was sick (thanks to Nils' notification), I rushed to his side, past 12 in the morning, to check on him because he is alone in his apartment. His fever was about 39 degrees Centigrade ( I didn’t have thermometer), he was complaining of excruciating headache, his skin was very sensitive to touch, his throat was sore. It was his second day of having high fever. What I did was to spray him with a mixture of 30 ml of distilled water mixed with 50 drops of of MAC (Mineral Alkaline concentrate). His fever would subside a bit after the spray, and when the fever started to rise again, I sprayed him again with the mixture (head, neck throat, armpits, back, chest, stomach area, arms, including the soles when I felt that it was cold. And then at 2:00 a.m. he took another paracetamol to let out his fever. After placing a towel on his back to absorb the perspiration, out it came so I hit the sack after praying
one mystery of the Rosary for his fast recovery.
At 10:00 a.m of the same day, I looked into the unshaded back part of the house. I noticed a plastic tumbler full of rainwater with mosquito eggs. I was alarmed so, I insisted that my son have his blood tested to rule out dengue. Thank God, it was negative.
During the time I was attending to my son, it reminded me of his classmate in prep school who was having an off and on fever. On the 4th day he died of dengue. From that time on. I didn’t want to wait for the 3rd day to be over before I bring my children to the hospital.
The fever is the reaction of the body to fight off an infection. If the immune system is strong, the fever would go away on the 4th day. However, if the immune system is low, the 4th day is very critical and the patient may die.
They body has to be fortified with oxygen, minerals and the vitamins to fight off infection, but you have to meet the other requirements for a healthy body like at least 7 hours of sleep, moderate exercise,positive mental attitude, proper elimination, avoiding intake of synthetic products, eating the foods recommended by God: milk, honey, fertilized eggs, meat from free- range animals (no pork), fish with scales and no to bottom dwellers like shrimps, lobsters, crabs, squids.(Visit the site of Doc-rbnavarro,net)
REMEMBER: Always ask for God’s mercy.
