Hearts Day is over.. and i've got new stuff buggin' me and its camote.. I have read the papers today and found out that its already spreading over the dub_dub_dub (its a techy lingo for WWW).. I just felt like sharing it since dengue is one of the most epidemic monster to hit the city nowadays.. This might help! Your watsinanngo is now a quack doctor! bwahahaha :)
" Is camote tops “cure” for dengue?
The internet abounds with claims that camote (sweet potato) tops extract “is effective in preventing or in curing dengue….because they are excellent sources of antioxidative compounds, mainly polyphenolics, which may protect the human body from oxidative stress that is associated with many diseases including cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and that it boosts the immune system.”
To put things in their proper perspective, there has been no original scientific research, much less randomized, double-blind, clinical studies to support this claim. Indeed, it would be terrific if this were true. Hopefully, future investigations in the laboratory and in human will prove this to be so.
In the meantime, for the safety of the patient, most of them children, it is best to rely on the currently proven and accepted medical therapy, rather than abandoning this scientific treatment and using only camote top extracts. If one wishes to use camote extracts, that’s fine, but take this in combination with today’s standard treatment, and under the supervision of the attending physician. "
