Hi, thanks for an interesting web site - I have just contracted shingles and hope your acv and cayenne will help me.
I live in a malaria area and after years of taking chloroquin and paludrin to prevent malaria, I developed an allergy to chloroquin in 1993. from 1993 to 1997 I got malaria 2- 3 times a year, each time suffering more. In 1997 i read an article in a local weekly by a Mr David Simpson (i think) who said he had been taking pawpaw pips as an anti-malarial for 20 years and had not had malaria since, despite being in a bad malaria area of Zambia. I have taken half a dozen pawpaw pips a day since then and have not had malaria again. I think you call pawpaw papaya. I rinse the seeds and freeze them for daily use and also have a tub of sun dried seeds for if i go away on trips.

Hi, I have been living in Tanzania for many years now and myself and family get malaria 2-3 times a year. Have you heard if this remedy of papaya seeds is ok if one is pregnant or for kids? I'd love to stop taking malaria meds. My kids get sick more than I do, so it would be helpful for them! Thanks a lot.Replied By Tim (Chicago, Usa) on 08/03/2010
In reply to Carrie 9/9/2009 from Dar Es Salaam, Sorry my contribution is late but I just saw your question regarding Papaya Seeds (paw paw) when one is pregnant. I have not heard of the seeds causing an issue however the leaves and fruit of green Papaya can cause miscarriage early in pregnancy. Papain or vegetable pepsin is found in Papaya's latex and leaves. Researchers have noted that unripe papaya latex acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin. Synthetic prostaglandin and oxytocin are commonly used to start or strengthen labor contractions, therefore unripe papayas may cause severe complications in pregnancy or may even cause miscarriage. Women in different parts of the world have long used green papaya and papaya seeds as a folk remedy for contraception and abortion.Replied By Temi (Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria) on 06/15/2011
In January 2010, I read about paw paw seeds as a cure for malaria on this site. From that time till now, over 1 year and six months, my family has been taking the seeds almost daily and we have not had malaria. Whereas, someone in the family usually had malaria at least once in two months before taking the paw paw seeds. Once when my daughter (then 8 years old) didn't take the seeds daily and exhibited symptoms of malaria, I gave her 4 seeds in the morning, afternoon and night and she was well. This is such a wonderful and natural treatment for malaria given to us by God for free. I say thank you to the person from Zambia who shared this. God bless you.Replied By Abraham (Tel Aviv, Israel) on 11/22/2012

yes, you have to chew them so that it can digested and absorbed into your system. If you do not chew them they will pass straight through you and do you no good at all ( also chew them well as the more you do the more effective the digestion and absorption into your body! )
