This was being circulated by email. One of our draftsman had dengue and we suggested this treatment.He took the papaya leaf juice as kola kanda and . Lo and behold he was OK in two or three days.

it is not the low platelet that kills patients.it is the fluid leakage and the complications of shock that lead to death.Value of platelet, in managing dengue is minimal.

You must not give publicity for these things unless there is a proven scientific basis.Ultimately patients will suffer if they are try these things.

In this fatal instance trying anything can be considered better than relying on the incompetent health system.

I too agree with this findings. A cancer patient whom I know well could not under go a surgery due to her platelets being lower than 50,000. Doctors struggled with infusion of blood and platelets to the patient with no success. Then the family started giving papaw leaf juice to the patient, and in a week her platelets went above 100,000.

Somebody in Sri Lanka must obtain the international patent rights for this before a western country registers it.

Dengue has now assumed the proportions of a national health catastrophe. We have all the reason to be happy about this claim being made with some evidence that papya leaf juice can be used as an effective treatment option to alleviate the suffering of dengue patients. Relevant authorities should take the opportunity to initiate immediate steps to have this idea subjected to some scrutiny and verification through adoption of scientific methodology. A team of western and Ayurvedic doctors could be entrusted with this task.

Department of Ayurveda should start research on this claim and publish their findings.

Well done! The doc should patent his recipe before the west gets wind of this and make millions of bucks on it.

first he should quickly apply for a patent in srilanka, and then he should apply for an international patent as well.because this is a marvelous invention and there are so many people who will try to claim this invention.
