Even though, few(only me) read this blog I'd still like to warn everybody of this website I recently found. The Dengue Cure website by Mr. Edwin Casimiro. The website offers some uh...advice on how to cure and treat dengue. Some are benign and acceptable, like getting enough bed rest and offering comfort to the sick(though once the sick is in the near 40's he or she doesn't really notice any thing that much) to weird like eating lots of fruit to downright stupid, electrotherapy to kill the virus and to never ever trust doctors and hospitals.

The weird thing is the advice he gives will probably work most of the time since dengue is not really cured by any drug. Our body manages to neutralize the virus on its own, it just needs a little more energy. That is why treatment for it is only supportive therapy(IV feeding and rehydration) for most individuals especially those who were healthy when they were infected.

In my case, I spent only 2 days in trance mode due to the fever but after that I was feeling quite well. The only thing I needed was IV therapy because of my extreme loss of appetite, vomiting the previous days and my inability to eat(I was too tired). I didn't even need a plasma transfusion. I haven't read any real studies but for those who I know contacted the disease, their cases were similar to mine as they managed to defeat the disease without ingestion of any drugs.

On the other hand, the website contains this herb which promises to kill the virus(not that I think this would be really significant as we've seen most cases resolve with proper supportive therapy) which scientists could look into.
