According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, about 300 million people worldwide suffer from asthma and nearly 10% of the world population is diagnosed with this lifelong respiratory illness. In the United States, about 70% of people with asthma are allergic to pollen and certain foods, especially dairy farms, the annual economic cost of asthma is 20 billion dollars, medical expenses and indirect costs are the largest single medical cost The prescription medicine accounted for 6 billion dollars. Every year, about 250,000 people die from asthma-related complications.
Currently, the treatment of asthma is not known. Patients with asthma will tolerate the continuous management period of steroids, inhalers, and nebulizers and help alleviate the symptoms. But the 11-year-old Australian boy insists that it is different from medicine, traditional Fijian asthma cure has been incredibly traditional Fijian ceremony and has not recurred in the last 12 months since I insist. Tanner Blessington on the northern coast of Sydney in Australia was infected with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) at the age of 5 in the beginning of winter, was hospitalized, and immediately treated with intravenous liquid and ventrin. RSV is the major cause of respiratory disease over almost every age of all countries, but cold and flu spread and in the cold season, the immune system is subject to severe pressure, so school-onset is particularly cold It is sensitive. RSV was first discovered in 1956 and has since been recognized by medical staff as one of the most common causes of pediatric illness.
Blessington families visit Fiji for holidays every year, but with a single visit, they learned from the Fijian who works at one of the resorts that mothers claim to have asthma remedies . Tanner's mother Leanne was only describing it as a myth of Fiji, but for another two years I met the same man at the second year's meeting and kept my curiosity. It is still interesting that it might just be a scam for money, but a sharp awareness, she decided to meet this mysterious mother following the next step. When it rained, Blessington put a taxi in a local village and met a man's wife and three children. His elderly mother came straight to Tanner and said she dreamed of coming to see her. After several hours of pleasure, Leanne and her husband Adrian were asked to leave the room so older women could focus on helping the young Tanner. While approaching the night, while still raining, family men climbed the coconut tree of nude dam, took out the orange red coconut, went to get the roots of medicinal grass. Without safety equipment, one of the men climbed the palm tree, carefully removed the coconut, bound the rope around the bundle, quietly dropped it onto the ground. Nuidamu's coconuts are highly valued with traditional medicine and the best attention was paid so that they do not hit the ground.
Returning home, an elderly woman started scraping the roots of the roots on top of the newspaper, peeling off the roots of the cassava. The chips were bundled inside the high bark of the coconut tree to form a bundle, soaked in water of coconut and infiltrated and absorbed. Meanwhile, when the family kept chanting and praying, she ran his fingers over Tanner's hands and under his arms, "If you do not have love, this will not work." All denials and stresses, I had to go from his parents as well as sitting near his heart. It was particularly difficult for my parents, as I heard that their stature was stolen while they were in Fiji, just because they heard that their Sydney house was robbed, while most of their jewels and wealth were in Fiji. Leanne talks about suffering to get rid of stress, but she decided to do everything to do this work for her son.
When the coconut water that scraped the bark and roots absorbed most of it, it squeezed by hand to extract the essential oil and sap, return it to the bowl, put only dry bark and roots into a bundle on one side. Tanner took his first drinking water and said he was not as bad as Western medicine. After more rituals and prayers, Tanner performed the final ritual once. He had to swim to the deepest part of the sea, throw the dry bark bunches as far as possible and say "Good bye to my asthma." He was told that the next seven days he had to drink the rest of the mixture with the top - up of more Nui Dam Coconut Water. He could not drink liquids such as water, juice, meat juice from his favorite curry. This is because there is a possibility that traditional medicine can do the work and dilute the efficacy of herb drinks. Leanne was still skeptical but the money had not changed and the old man simply asked them to put their hearts and minds to believe that there is faith in them and believe that treatment will go well. On the eighth day, Tanner inspired the courage to get the treatment into the ultimate test. Having prepared his inhaler, he ordered the biggest ice cream sundae. To my surprise, no response. No wheezing and restrained airways, asthma miraculously disappeared. During the following 12 months, Leanne constantly monitored the son's condition in Australia, confirmed when asthma came back, when asthma came back, stopped breathing. I did not do that. When I recently returned to Fiji, Tanner fulfilled one of his greatest dreams in which his previous condition pretended he did. He studied scuba diving. "I was suffering from asthma, but now I am out in the sea," says a young Tanner.
Dr. Michael Winer, a professor at the University of California, USA, spent several years in Fiji in cooperation with the government and the United Nations Development Program in 1980. "Secret of Fijian medicine" document Ancient herbal remedies of Fiji. Among them, Tanner's cure is recorded and well-known by many Fiji elders. The roots of the trees used to treat asthma include the bees (intsia bijuga) and budra skull (pandanus), both of which are commonly found throughout the parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. The sacred orange red coconut is also published in his book. The palm tree of Niudam, the native origin of Asia and Polynesia, has grown to a height of 100 feet, with mainly yellow and orange coconuts. It belongs to the Cocos · Nucifera family and this unique tree is also known in Fijian medicine, it treats diseases such as fish poisoning, infected wounds, scabies, etc. It is used as a general antimicrobial agent.
In coconut oil research around the world, cold pressed and unheated pure virgin coconut oil as processed at the Fiji copla factory is beginning to be recognized worldwide in brain degeneration and life threatening bacteria Prevent sexual and viral diseases. MCT (medium chain triglyceride) is present in high concentrations in virgin coconut oil containing 60% of good antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral properties of known oils. Lauric acid also exists naturally in coconut and acts as an antimicrobial and antiviral agent that kills bacteria and nourishes cells like breast milk. Modern eating habits, especially Western culture, lack MCT. MCT is usually found in coconut oil, but it lacks most of the edible oils used today, or it may not exist. One of the characteristic health problems of today is high cholesterol, mainly in the form of LDL (low density lipoprotein), low HDL (high density lipoprotein), and high triglyceride. The interesting thing about coconut oil is to increase HDL, lower LDL and at the same time reduce triglycerides. MCT oil is also used in many US applications for the treatment of a wide range of viral diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, asthma, eczema and HIV. Coconut is one of the natural gifts of highly effective and non-toxic treatments that kills viruses and bacteria in the body.
Does traditional medicine in Fiji retain clues and secrets to cure modern diseases such as asthma? Medicine No, but for young Australian boys, "tree of life" has a whole new meaning.
