Yes whenever in the family is having a very high fever, specially on and off we are boiling a natural plant too as we believe that it will be helping blood platelets dropping if in case it is a Dengue Fever. Some of my friends who have been caught by Dengue testifies its effective. In Cebu, we call it “mangagaw”. It is a very common plant here and it is even very effective if you have eye sore just have to cut its stem and drop its milky like juice to your eyes.
Yes Gracia "tawa-tawa" in my mothers place in Cagayan. In Cebu it's "Mangagaw". Might be a different name is Luzon area then!

Nice to hear then hat apple juice helps as my son loves it so less worry then..... bitaw kulba gyud lagi, I just went to doctor this morning to taking my son as he starts to cough and I have learn that Dengue is high tech already as it goes with other illness too unlike before that it dont. So doctors here always recommend for a monitored CBC test to be safe.
Out of intrest whats a CBC test?
It's complete blood count
The bravest thing that men do is love women--Mort Sahl
A CBC test means COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT. Its includes White blood cell (WBC, leukocyte) count, White blood cell types (WBC differential), Red blood cell (RBC) count, Hematocrit (HCT, packed cell volume, PCV),Platelet (thrombocyte) count, Hemoglobin (Hgb) and Red blood cell indices.
As a matter of interest, how much might medical insurance cost in the Philippines? Where would you buy it?
Ian
Phil Health-- if she is presently employed it is easily attainable. If she doesn't work she can be a self-paying member. Monthly remittance won't cost much. Tell her to visit any regional offices for more info Ian, hope this helps.

Some of the remittance companies i noticed have medical insurance plans advertised on their websites. How good they are i dont know.
Thank you all for your lovely posts. Mae is much better today. All the blood tests were clear, so its just a very nasty throat infection. She's on antibiotics and her cousin will stay with her for a week.
Just makes it all the more clear I need to speed up my divorce (she left me, by the way!), and get out there as soon as my credit card allows to be with Mae at last.
Thanks again!
Ian
I should not really be like this. But again, this morning, Mae asked me to call her but her phone was off at the time we agreed. Since then she has not answered her phone or any of my text messages.
Given that last time this happened she was ill, I suppose its OK to worry. I know she loves me and she is not the kind of person to do this without a good reason. So what good reason can there be? On the other hand, what bad reason can there be? It is so hard being this far apart and I should not be so obsessed with talking to her every day - but I do enjoy it and so does she.
She is looking for work at the moment, so is probably out and about. I just hope she does not do anything silly.
Ian - paranoid android -
By the way I received a lovely card from her in the post today. She sent it as a surprise - when I asked her to write she simply said she would get around to it! A lovely lady and a lovely surprise.
Guilty! I am a worrier! spoke to Mae this morning. Yesterday she went to town and left her mobile at home. when she got back she sent me a text but I did not get it. this has happened before. She is a wonderful woman and i miss her!
Ian
