Guava Leaves

Long time no blog. Ok, I woke up feeling so good today, I do not know why. I hope I'm complety healed on my 4 months of illness. Well, I went home to Pampanga Tuesday and before having done so I have asked my mother to take me to the faith healer in Bulaon, San Fernando City where she got her frozen shoulder healed a couple of years ago. So Tuesday after my work I went straight home and arrived before lunch time. There I was still catching up with my backlog of photo post processing until the afternoon to meet up with my mom. And so we went to my Uncle's house in Bulaon first then he helped us to Aling Itang.

Aling Itang, smokes. Like the old school grandmothers. I don't know why at the time we arrived there she knew that I was the one needing help. I don't look sick at all but perhaps I look stressed. :(

So there we were, she told me some stuff which I wouldn't want to write about. Nevertheless I can tell you that she wanted me to boil Guava leaves with Saresa Leaves. (I don't know the english for Saresa or tagalog if ever but I'm positive that I Kapampangan.) Back then I got my right eye feeling sore due to my addiction to photography caused by photographing the sun and radiation caused by the computer's monitor, she touch my both eyes and I felt a little relief. To cap all that has been said, she said, trust in God, not in me for He is the true healer. I gave her a nod. Two days after that I went back to Makati Medical Center to have myself tested again, I was extracted for blood samples and a stool at that for Lipids check, FBS, stool and occult tests. I hope results be negative once I get hold of them later. Now, on Monday, I'll be subjected again to Gastro Intestinal series of X-rays. There's too much to be checked but I am thankful I am still able to do the things that I want except to eat and drink what I want.

Going back to Guava and Saresa leaves, perhaps it is true that they are good herbal medicines. I have been taking a drink of its bitter boiled leaves like never before. Actually, my dad told me to do so a couple of months ago but I was just stubborn not to. In fact he told me again last mo: Jay, drink this and you'll be better and will even have longer life. I replied, I will never have a long life, I have been sick all my life. Well, enough of my bitterness, I hope I'm back to normal soon.

Cheers,
Jay
