GMA 7 did a news item on dengue fever treatment using Tawa Tawa. They called me up, but I referred them instead to my cousin. So she got the interview here. Her name is Frances Giron, she’s one of the daughters of my Auntie Portia who taught me about Tawa Tawa tea being the cure for dengue fever. Continue reading →
Dengue Fever instances in the Philippines are widely reported. Everyone knows someone who had dengue fever in this year. Just today, my son and I are both sick so we are drinking tawa tawa tea. The good news is that Kris Aquino, the celebrity sister of the current president, has volunteered to be an endorser of the Department of Health’s campaign against dengue fever.
Health director and head executive assistant Yolando Oliveros said that Kris yesterday volunteered to be an anti-dengue advocate for free, an offer the health agency was unlikely to turn down.
“She could really be helpful to us in educating the public against dengue because she is the most sought-after endorser in the Philippines,” Oliveros told the Inquirer on the phone yesterday.
In a separate phone interview, Dr. Lyndon Lee Suy, head of the DOH’s emerging and re-emerging infections disease unit, said Kris was a “perfect model for the advocacy” as a mother of two sons—Josh and Baby James—who suffered from the mosquito-borne disease last year.

Anti – dengue fever campaigns are out in full force in public places and in the news papers. It’s a definite epidemic. Just be careful not to blame dengue fever for everything. For example, my employees sister began getting sick after she got the cervical cancer vaccine shot. But the hospital would rather blame dengue fever. Geeez.
The AFP reports yesterday that: in HANOI, LAOS “— Mosquito-borne dengue fever has killed 36 people in Laos this year, the worst epidemic in at least five years, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday.
“It’s a big epidemic year for dengue here,” WHO epidemiologist Hannah Lewis told AFP from Laos.
She said that in the last five years the highest annual number of reported deaths was 22, with about 10 to 15 deaths the norm.”
I suggest Laos take a look at my Dengue Fever Cure website and learn from it, implement it in their own country.
