5 Green Mango Leaves



I find this email from one of my yahoo groups worth sharing.

Please go through it and benefit form it.

Your green mango peel, Tokayong Kit, worked on my mom, 92-1/2 years old.

Maraming, maraming salamat kaibigan.

After an hour taking a cup of freshly boiled mango leaves [your prescribed substitute for peels] my mom was feeling well already, and she experienced an improve appetite the whole day. During her morning nap, she was sleeping without any warm clothing nor was she wrapped in a blanket. She had one drink in the morning and one later in the evening.

The morning she woke up, she complained that she felt very cold the whole evening and still was feeling cold. I thought she might have the beginning symptoms of the flu. Right then I remembered your prescription just sent a day ago. So I went up to my small 2nd floor garden to the row of young 3 year old mango seedlings, four of them, and judiciously choose the one I thought whose leaves smelled carabao mango. I picked 5 leaves, wash them, and cut them into five pieces each, put them in a two cup pot and boil for 5 minutes with a small piece of crushed loy-a [1/4 of a thumb-sized ginger].

Last night I went to the night market and bought 2 kilos of green Carabao mangoes, and peeled one, about 2 inch diameter4 inches, and boiled it in the same 2-cup pot with the same amount of ginger.

It wasn't until this noon, after a day of now green mango drink, that my mom felt the need to drink again a cup of the concoction. She seemed to be doing fine with it.

My wife, Paz, and I took a cupful last night and enjoyed it. Today I had one drink after lunch and slept practically the whole afternoon, a record of 4-1/2 hours, many hours over my usual 30 mins. I must have been tired or it was the juice working thru my system.

However, there may be a drawback - my mom has not felt the urge to go for almost three days now. It may just be a coincidence, starting the day she started drinking the concoction.

I just talk to her and she said she will take her medicine to make her pooh-pooh. She advance the theory that the concoction may have enough pectin to make her bowels act that way.

Other than that drawback which may turn out to be a coincidence, the concoction appears to have a good effect upon us. But we need to have many more days to be able to make some kind of definitive conclusion. We understand that in the world of healing, there are times that a medicine good for one may not have any appreciable effect on another. Let's see how the next days would be like.

BTW, what is this Maitong of yours?

I have two brother doctors in the USA who are interested in local medicine.
