Camote Tops as Dengue Cure ? (Kamote)


Would you believe  that camote tops can cure dengue? Some  say its true but it is not yet proven by research study according to Department  of Health.

To use as treatment, prepare by boiling leaves for five minutes and enjoy as tea or juice.  They did not mention the water to leaves proportion. Sorry!


please report a broken video

I have a previous post discussing the benefits of camote tops.

    I HAVE TRIED CAMOTE TOPS AND TAWATAWA CONCOCTION (BOIL TOGETHER FOR 15 MINS FOR ONE LITER)TO BE TAKEN IN REPLACE OF WATER. ALSO FRESH JUICE OF PAPAYA LEAVES. DETAILS AS FOLLOWS:

    1) 2 BUNCHES OF RED CAMOTE TOPS (MARKET)
    2) 2 BUNCHES OF TAWA-TAWA PLANT INCLUDING ROOTS (BIG BUCH IF POSSIBLE)
    3) 30ML/INTAKE OF PAPAYA JUICE ONCE OR TWICE A DAY (TASTE BITTER)

    NOTE: NO 1 & 2 MUST BE WASH PROPERLY AND CUT INTO SMALL PCS BEFORE BOILING FOR 15 MINS ( PROPORTIONED AS DESIRED AT LEAST NOT LESS THAN 1 LITER.

    I HAVE TRIED IT FOR 3 ADULT PATIENTS AND IT WORKS…..PLATELET ZOOM UP AND NEXT DAY OR TWO PATIENTS WERE DISCHARGED. TWO OF THE PATIENT STAYED FOR A WEEK WITH NO RESULT BUT AFTER TAKING THE CONCOCTION OF CAMOTE TOPS AND TAWATAWA (COMBINED) AND PAPAYA JUICE WERE OUT AFTER A DAY OR TWO.

    THESE ARE JUST MY EXPERIENCE.MAYBE SMALLER PORTION OF PAPAYA JUICE FOR CHILDREN. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

    sasalinan nang dugo ang anak ko kinabukasan dhil sobrang baba na ang platelet.ang mismo laboratory staff ng hospital ang nagsabi na itry ko tawatawa. dahil wala namn ako idea ano itsura ng halaman ngtanongtanong ako sa mga tao nkatira sa likod ng hospital at mabuti my nakkalam itsura at ako na ang nghanaphanap sa mga bakanteng lupa. umuwi ako at pinakuluan at pinainom ko agad sa anak ko. 1 hour pa lang nakita ko na pagbabago ng mukha nya at nang kinuha ang platelate nya ng madaling araw tumaas ng konti hangang sa inabot ng maga ng tumataas. hindi na sinalinan ng dgo. kaya ngpapaslamat ako sa lab staff ng hospital at totoo tlga na tawa2ay nkkagamot

    effective talaga ang tawa-tawa. not only sa dengue, pero sa lbm as well. Tubig na talaga ang bowel ko for 2 days. I have heard na effective din into sa kumukulong tyan. So, I requested my kasambahay to look for tawatawa and boiled it for 5 mins. immediate ang improvement ko after taking 3 to 4 glasses at an interval of 1 hour each.
