神奇的箭猪枣

source: http://odipoon.blogspot.com/


本人在今年11月经历了一个蛮大的开刀手术，也经历了粉枣的神奇疗效。在体力容许的当儿，就迫不及待的要发这篇文。只求往后可以帮助更多有需要的朋友。

在上期的发文，有提到4年前老娘动过一个手术，伤口大概13cm。这次的手术的位置和当年的一样，病源也一样。（切除肿瘤）；但这次却比较复杂，面对了器官坏死及摘除手术，历时3个小时。

4年前，手术后躺在病床上好一段日子，每次当身体需要挪动上的小动作都令我痛不欲生。在试图起身、下床步行的每个动作都令我痛得泪水直流。这折磨，这痛，我不会忘记。不是我不要忘记，而是根本忘不了！

在10月，当我知道我又将要面对一样的手术时，我几乎吃不下、睡不着。到了11月时，几乎天天都在哭，泪流不停。感觉就好像要面对死一样痛苦。因为我经历过上次的恐怖经历，我更明白这次的痛苦，我觉得我熬不过。精神上熬不过，肉体也熬不过。

幸好，这次我有箭猪枣。

我曾在余仁生工作时让我有机会认识箭猪枣。我听闻它的威力，但我没尝试过，不懂是不是真的那么厉害？

好了，这次可好了。让我可以活生生的经历与体会有服用和无服用箭猪枣的差别。（4年前我还不认识箭猪枣也。）
在我还没讲我个人的见证时，就让我好好的跟大家分享神奇的箭猪枣吧！

豪猪枣是豪猪体内的一种如结石般的东西。我听人说很久以来豪猪枣就在民间被延用和认同

是一种能使患有绝症者起死回生，往往在生死关头救你一命，有着非常高药疗的稀有珍品。

我不懂起死回生是不是有真有其事，但却听过的确可以有救急得作用，跟地宫牛黄丸有救急的作用一样。这两个中药，都是价值不菲的呀。我本人觉得豪猪枣是贵的离谱，牛黄丸在几百马币下你还可以拿到整粒/罐。我买粉枣时， 0.4g 听清楚，是0.4 g 就高达马币整千块了。T.T (幸好，有认识的人，扣的来还是要接近RM600.......我当下很想在余仁生的店里洒狗血。。。）

ok ok, 言归正传，我可是在分享着一个严肃的课题，不能让人觉得我是在不认真。为了使大家认识豪猪枣的价值，我们也必须同时对豪猪这种稀珍动物有所认识。对吧？

豪猪即是一种全身长满尖刺，居息在森林里的一种哺乳动物。懂刺猬吗？他们是abang adik nia! (箭猪枣的名字也是refer 它的外形。）它有很强的生命力，往往生病后都能很快痊愈，这和它的进食习惯有关。
以下资料，从网络所得：

豪猪是草食动物，尤其喜食含苦味的植物的茎和根部。由于一般含苦味的植物都是药草的根
源，因此，豪猪本身具有能解百毒的抗体免疫功能。当它受伤或生病时，它会去寻食一种草
药。草药在豪猪体内消化后和它的解毒抗体混合产生一种分泌物来化解它体内的病毒，使它
迅速痊愈。而一些仍然剩留在豪猪体内的分泌物，久而久之就累积形成如结石般的东西也就
是所谓的豪猪枣。


因为每只豪猪的体质，强弱，基因结构，获取食物草药的环境会影响豪猪枣的结构。这也是
为什么每粒豪猪枣的外观，光滑度，大小，素质，颜色等都有差异。
如果一粒豪猪枣滞留在豪猪体内的时间越久，它的体积将会越大，药性成份的累积更多，品
更佳。然而并非每只豪猪体内都有豪猪枣，即使有也是一只才的一粒，所以身价非凡。
So, 你们懂为何粉枣会卖酱贵啦？你们看到的这些一粒粒貌状石头的粉枣，如果要整粒要的话，会是RM几百千或几百万，ok? Don't play play. 不信？去余仁生跑一趟问问看就懂是龙或凤咯。

豪猪枣的药用价值

根据中药学上的纪录，我们的祖先和一些原住民很早就有药用豪猪枣的智慧。如今随着医学的进步，通过研究也确认了豪猪枣在医疗上是有一定的功效与价值。它对以下一些病症有很明显的附加药用功效。
手术后：用以化解开刀后的一般副作用如镇痛，退烧，助快速复原等。
癌症 ：能助镇痛； 化解化疗，电疗后的一些副作用；化痰排毒，助使免疫细胞快速重生，控制，减轻病情。

肝病 ：能快速清热解病毒，化脓消炎，提升免疫功能复原神速。
各种炎症 ：具有非常高效率的解毒，排脓，消炎，活血，生肌，止痛功效。

其他 ：对皮肤病，恶疮，心血管硬化，祛风，心气痛，胃痛等各种病痛都有一定的疗效。
（大佬，这些所谓“其他 ”的什么胃痛，皮肤病就不用拿豪猪枣来医啦，除非你钱多，那就请自便吧。。 ）

好了，我的见证上场咯。4年前没吃豪猪枣，和这次有吃豪猪枣的分别如下。。。


我的见证：

1。4年前手术醒来的第一个意识：痛到泪不停留 （我当时还吊着点滴及止痛药）

疼痛指数爆灯！！！！
这次手术醒来的第一个意识：不大有痛的感觉 （我当时是有吊着点滴及止痛药）

疼痛指数2个星。

2。4年前身体挪动的痛楚：4年前手术后，护士们天天都会要为我抹身体及换病服。

向左或右的则躺我根本办不到（就算有人帮），伤口太痛了！最

后，在留院期间，我是没抹过身（手脚还有啦！！）、只是简单的披了个病服遮住身体罢

了。多难受啊！！

疼痛指数5个星。

这次的身体挪动的痛楚：可以在有人的帮助下慢慢的向左或右的则躺，让护士们天天为我

换床单、抹身及换病服！！

疼痛指数2个星。

3。4年前手术后第一次下床：我还记得医生逼我下床是手术后的第3天，需要人的搀扶。每

一步都痛到我哭到半死。

疼痛指数5个星！！
这次手术后第一次下床：是手术后的第3天。 需要人的搀扶。神奇的是。。。我还好！！

疼痛指数2个星。

4。4年前手术后第一次洗澡：出院后的第三个星期。头两个星期是靠母亲简单的为我抹身罢

了。除了大小解，我是从没下床走动的。天天只能平躺，更不敢乱动。我不想跟伤口的痛

过不去。止痛药是天天吃啊！

疼痛指数4个星。
这次手术后第一次洗澡： 在医院的第四天，在有护士的帮助下，我洗澡了！！ 我是坐着

轮椅洗澡的。

快乐指数爆灯！！！

5。4年前手术后第一次洗头：一个月后。对，我一个月没洗过头。难过指数5个星！！

这次手术后第一次洗头：在医院的第四天！洗澡的同时，我洗头了！！

快乐指数爆灯！！！ XD

我不懂你们是否有动过手术？ 如有，你会明白以上的芝麻绿豆的每一个情节;病人都是在痛苦中度过每一天。

我在有服用豪猪枣的情况下，难得的不用受太多的痛苦，在很短的时间也恢复的不错。超感恩！所以，如果将来，你或你家人（大吉利市）要开大手术，如你的经济许可，就请你去“忍痛”的去买豪猪枣吧。它对镇痛的疗效是神奇的！！也可助你快速复原等等。
你们也可能在想，4年前和这次我是在不同的医院？不同的病例？及其他。我可以告诉你们，4年前和4年后的我，是看同一个医生，选择同一家医院，开刀位置是同一个位置，同一个病例只是比4年前的还严重。所以，我绝对有资格跟你们分享有服用和没服用的分别。XD
最后，我很想在此对眼睛小小说声：谢谢！我爱你！嫁给你是我上辈子修来的福气！！

在医院的6天5夜，不眠不休对妻子的照顾，在手术室外的等候及焦急，我感谢你的照顾及关怀！我也心痛的看到你睡不好、吃不好。。。可以的话，我们永远的都不生病。咱们俩就健康和高高兴兴地活下去吧。
也谢谢我的家人。妈妈及妹妹也辛苦了。谢谢妈妈，姐姐和妹妹的陪伴，让眼睛小小可以有点时间离开医院透透气。朋友们，谢谢大家的鼓励哟。^^

4萬買“豪豬棗”救不了癌妻‧老翁要鑑定藥粉成份

Basically I don't think it can save a person life from cancer but I believed it able to reduce the pain.

http://www.sinchew.com.my/node/265947?tid=1

（吉隆坡24日訊）73歲老翁為了讓患有肝癌末期的老伴能多活半年命，不惜花4萬令吉向中醫師買下8瓶“豪豬棗”藥粉；豈料，妻子吃了不到一個月就逝世，令他痛心疾首。

有關中醫師當時聲稱吃了這些藥粉後，也許可延長其妻子半年性命。

由於中醫師事後不願接聽他的電話，電郵也不回覆，因此他希望找人鑑定藥粉的真假，於是今日前往馬華公共服務及投訴部找拿督斯里張天賜求助。

老翁麥發順是名退休小販，數個月前他得悉與他同甘共苦半世紀的妻子馬玉琴（71歲）患有肝癌，而癌細胞已迅速擴散，醫生告知已時日無多，但他不想就此放棄。

他們的幼兒（34歲）過後上網搜索到南馬有一間中醫診所，並獲得有關治療的藥方，因此作出嘗試。

一孫澳洲當醫生

麥老本身有一名孫子在澳洲當醫生。

來自冼都的麥老說，中醫師是新加坡人，但在本地開診所。醫師檢查妻子後，建議說有一種“豪豬棗”，可能可延長妻子半年命。

“我不忍老伴飽受病魔折騰，希望能讓她多活幾個月，於是聽取醫師的意見後決定博一博，一口氣花了4萬令吉向對方買入8瓶藥，豈料，她吃了不到一個月，第二瓶才吃了2粒後於上個月22日突然逝世，離開了我……”

“我現在只想知道，手上的草藥究竟是真假，若證實是真的，我接受妻子病逝的殘酷事實，但要是藥物是假的，我希望投訴部可以為我們討回公道採取法律行動。”

箭猪枣-They killed the porcupine & get the stone!!!! I cannot accept this way!!!!

Hemorrhoids (痔疮) vs Porcupine date powder

My friend is trying apply porcupine date powder to cure hemorrhoid, she bought 4 Li, will update the outcome. :) 

Overview
Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins located in the lower part of the rectum and the anus. They become swollen because of increased pressure within them, usually due to straining at stools and during pregnancy because of the pressure of the enlarged uterus.

Internal hemorrhoids are located in the inside lining of the rectum and cannot be felt. They are usually painless and make their presence known by causing bleeding with a bowel movement. Internal hemorrhoids can prolapsed or protrude through the anus.

External hemorrhoids are located underneath the skin that surrounds the anus. They can be felt when they swell and may cause itching or pain with a bowel movement, as well as bleeding. A thrombosed external hemorrhoid occurs when blood within the vein clots, and can cause significant pain.

Appreciation of help for supply of cheaper price porcupine date powder

Colon Cancer: When Various Alternative Medicines Failed

Dear Mr. Teo,
My name is T and I’m from Johor Bahru, I found about you from searches on the internet regarding Rectum Cancer.

Here’s my story & I would really appreciate if you can enlighten me as to what I should do next. I was even prepared to just drive up all the way to Penang to see you tomorrow (that is if you’re available).
My mum, age 65, was diagnosed with rectal cancer in July 2007. After we knew about the disease, and after doctors only recommendation (surgery), insisted on it, we opted out.

My mum also dread the idea of going under the knife unless all possible methods are exhausted. So, she insisted to try alternative medicine (TCM). We searched everywhere and asked almost everyone we knew about cancer and alternative medicines. And it all started after the diagnose.

My mum’s first encounter with so called alternative medicine was a recommendation by a relative citing known experience by her personal friend who is suffering cancer. So we went, and my mum was advised to consume ‘raw eggs’ on every meal + supplements from the physician (6 months supply). The supplements claim to have medical doctors’ recommendation to prevent further deterioration. My mum followed the advice for about 6 months but was unable to adapt to the ‘only eggs’ meal as it does not fill her hunger.

So after that, my mum did not continue with this ‘physician’. Again after recommendation from friends as well as my mum’s choice of trying all herbs alternative, we found the second physician, who is in Endau. We drove my mum to this place and again was advice to watch her diet strictly, meaning no meats, including fish and only vegetable. So my mum heeded his advice and started the ‘raw’ herbal medication then. It was about some months when my mum could not take probably the ‘raw’ taste of herbs and boiled herbal drinks. It was like one full load of raw green herbs for a month in my car trunk. And the whole neighborhood smells of herbs.

After on strict dietary guidelines, my mum went down on weight seriously and look weak but the physician said we’ll have to adapt to it otherwise there’s no point even taking herbs. Sometime in late 2008 and after all this herbal drinks and soups, my mum started to bleed from her bowels. At first it was minor but it got serious and needed blood transfusion (1 pint) every 4-5 days interval. This lasted almost 7 to 8 months and finally upon doctor’s recommendation, my mum finally agreed to go ahead with the colostomy surgery.
After the surgery, things were much better. No bleeding, no transfusions and stuffs. So we asked her if she wanted to continue with the herbs from Endau, but she said she could not tolerate all those raw herbs day in & day out. So we started again in our quest to look for another alternative physician.

Two years had passed and after some asking around, it was my uncle (mum’s younger brother) who recommended a TCM physician in Tampin, N.S., whom my uncle claim to had cured his business associate of his cancer using their alternative medicines — containing the known among ‘Chinese,’ the Porcupine Bezoar (Jian Zhu Zhao). This was the most expensive alternative medication we had, but we   hope that some miracle could happen. So we started to travel form JB to Tampin again every month. This   cost some thousands of ringgit. We did this some 14 to 16 months back till today.

In the recent 6 months, I noticed that things were not good. There were serious infections around my mum’s anus & vagina. From what I’ve read from your websites and the book on cancer, I guess this should be Stage IV and spreading fast. The surface of the skin surrounding the anus & vagina area looks like ‘infections’. And lately my mum does not walk that often citing pain when she walks or sit. Now she does not travel with me to get the medications.

So these are the scenario on my mum and I certainly hope that Mr. Teo could help or advise what should I do. Can I drive to Penang to meet up with you for advice? Or maybe take some of your medications?
Please advise. I now plan to start my trip tonight midnight so I can arrive in Penang in the morning and start searching for your place. By the way, I tried looking all over CACARE web page but did not see any consultation time for Saturday, May I ask do you not open on Saturday? Thank-you for your time, and may you have a pleasant weekend.

Reply: No, please do not drive up to Penang tonight. We are not open on Saturday. I only see patients on Sunday at 7 pm onwards or Fridays at 3 pm onwards.
I suggest you go back to your doctor and see what actually is wrong with your mom now.
1) Is this a metastasis — i.e. cancer that comes from the colon?
2) Generally from colon, it also goes to the liver. So besides the anus, are there any spread to the liver and other parts of the body? We have to look at things totally — not just piece meal. For that I suggest you ask your doctor to do a scan or a PET scan of the whole body. I understand that in JB there is now a place to do PET scan.
3) If you like, ask your doctor to do a blood test and see what it looks like.
4) After you are done with all these, ask the doctor what he wants you to do. Listen to him but you need not follow him yet.
5) Come and see me with all those reports and scans. It is only then that I can help you more intelligently.

Without all these data, I am blind — how to help?

There is NO need to rush to come and see me. After all you have wasted so much time doing what you are doing which unfortunately does not seem to work.

Following what people telling you is not wise at all. Believing what others say can be a serious disaster too.
Why do I ask you to do all these? I can only help her when I see all those reports. Without these I am blind. I don’t know what is really going on. So I need to know as much of everything first. If you go to a blind man – what do you think is going to happen? Currently, PET is the most expensive procedure but will show all the possible cancer spots in the body … if you do CT scan you may not know everything — so, half blind – but still better than being totally blind.
Looks like I am not going to have a pleasant weekend!

Porcupine Bezoar vs Dengue-A real story!

My Bf's Dengue Experience

Quite some time ago the bf had Dengue Fever and that was one of the most nightmarish experience for me ever!

17th. July, 2009
He was feeling very cold during work, he was almost shivering! I kept getting SMS updates from him saying how freezingly cold and sick he's feeling. Thinking maybe it was hunger that striked him, he went to the canteen to grab a bite to eat. Somehow, it didn't help and he began feeling feverish.

He had to take the remaining day off to go home and get some rest. On the way home, he went to see a doctor and got some medicines home. Doctor said, suspected dengue. After taking the medicines and resting, the fever subsided. And after a while, it came back. Off and on... something must be very wrong.

18th. July, 2009
Indeed, he seemingly recovered from fever and was feeling.... okay. He was about to have his night shift work that day, but I insisted he better not go to work, just in case he's still not well. The bf tried looking for colleagues to replace him for the night but oh well, mission failed. He had to go to work somehow.

In the midst of working, as expected. The fever came back and it was worse this time around. He MMS-ed me a picture of himself and I was shocked to see the picture which is this...

His cheeks were so red and I know something is very wrong already. He tahan-ed through the night somehow and throughout the entire night, I did not have a good sleep.

19th. July, 2009
Bf came back from work early in the morning and came to pick me up to accompany him to KPJ Hospital, Seremban to have a blood test on Dengue Fever. It isn't surprising to me even if he is tested positive for that, because at the residential area we are staying... there has been 10 cases of Dengue Fever already. After taking the blood test, he was confirmed having a Dengue Fever. His Platelet count was 154 ( normal range 150 - 309 ).

He took the day off from work and stayed at my place to be taken care of. I made him papaya leaves juice which was claimed to be able to sustain Platelet counts. To get the papaya leaves, dad was slightly injured and both dad and I was chased by a mad dog I almost lost a limb damn it! After serving bf the papaya leaves juice, dad and I went out in a hurry to look for ' tin kai ' a type of frog and bitter gourd for bf as dinner.

20th. July, 2009
It was a Monday and I had to go to work. Left Simon at home for mum to take care of his meals. In the morning, he went back to KPJ for another blood test and oh my... Platelet count fell to 119. He had to be warded immediately. Bf's phobia came by...

I rushed to the hospital during lunch and brought him the frog + bitter gourd soup mum made for him as lunch that day. As expected, I rushed to the hospital again after work and dinner. This lasted for a few good days! And right after visiting him, I have to rush home for US market until midnight. EVERY SINGLE DAY! I think I was about to fall sick as well.

21st. July, 2009
Routines go as usual.... the visits and rushing and blood tests. Bf went to the toilet and almost collapsed in there. His vision was blurred and later having a blackout! Nurses came to measure his blood pressure and it was really low, 75/58. Some hours later blood test result showed that his Platelet count continued falling to 112 already. He was immediately transferred to the ICU. No handphones allowed, I couldn't get anymore updates from him.

I went to visit him again during lunch and I brought him something great. The porcupine bezoar! That one tablespoon of powder costs RM 500! With a sneeze towards it and it's gone! Poofff! Just joking, Simon ate it although he doesn't even know what the heck is that thing. So expensive that 5 Jogoya meals gone just like that.

During that night, he had too much gas from consuming 100 plus; he vomitted. All out. I was so worried the porcupine bezoar didn't managed to be digested in time and was out as well. He was greatly demotivated. At that point of time his Platelet count was very low already, but I have forgotten the figure. I seriously thought he was gonna die and I will have to get a new bf for good.

22nd. July, 2009
Platelet count shot up to 89. Yippeeee! I was the happiest person when I heard that. It gets better as time goes by and he was transferred back to normal ward. On a side note, a nurse came to take a blood sample and don't know how she did it, but she was poking Simon's arm non-stop until he was bruised.

His final blood test result shown that the Platelet count has increased back to 119. Indeed the porcupine bezoar works! He was discharged. I didn't have to look for a new bf.

PORCUPINE BEZOAR "Believe to SAVE your life"

In Chinese traditional medicine, there are some incredible sources of natural remedies for all kinds of ailments. One of these many interesting remedies believed to be able to cure various conditions is called a bezoar.

Pensioner held for rearing porcupines

SHAH ALAM: A pensioner was arrested for rearing porcupines without a permit at his house, believed for the “magical properties of their stones”.
Wildlife officers arrested the man, who is in his 50s, on Tuesday and seized 13 porcupines kept in cages at his home at Jalan Kuang in Rawang as well as some frozen meat and a four-day-old carcass of the wild animal.

Selangor Wildlife and National Parks Department deputy director Mohammad Khairi Ahmad said the man had constructed the cages to rear the porcupines he caught from the nearby oil palm estates and secondary forest.

“Our officers went to the house following a tip-off and found that he has no permit to rear the animals,” he said, adding that animals were especially prized for their bezoar stones.
Bezoar is a mass of food, usually from consuming grass and herbs, found trapped in the animals’ stomach system and is long used in Chinese traditional medicine.

“Porcupine meat is high in protein and this wild porcupine is known for its bezoar stone, said to be able to cure dengue fever and flu,” he said, adding that some medicinal shops in Klang sell these for up to RM700 for a mere 0.38g, which would then be used as tonic for flu.
In another case, a civil servant in his 30s was arrested for keeping eight porcupines and an Asian palm civet — known locally as musang pulut — in Kampung Bukit

Tempurung also in Rawang.
Wildlife officers also arrested a pet shop owner in Section 24 here recently and seized six pythons from its premises.

All three men arrested will be charged under Section 68 of the Wildlife Protection Act which carries a fine not more than RM3,000 or a three-year jail term.

The Malayan porcupine (Hystrix brachyura)

The Malayan porcupine (Hystrix brachyura) is a rare and elusive creature that lives in many areas of Asia including but not limited to India, Malaysia, Nepal, and Vietnam. They are found living in altitudes from sea level to approximately 1,300 meters above sea level. With a usual life span of 20-27 years depending on environmental and encroaching human building and population factors, they can weigh from 1.7 pounds (0.760 Kg) to around 5.4 pounds (2.414 Kg) and can reach a length of 83.5 cm (32.9 inches) including their long tails. These animals are very shy and prefer to wander and forage for food at night. They are predominantly nocturnal and are rarely seen for any reason during the day unless threatened or sick.

With a huge habitat range of nearly the entire continent of Asia and even further into neighboring continents, the Malayan porcupine is one of the most widely yet sparsely spread out rodents on Earth. What makes the habitat of these creatures unique, however, is the type of terrain that they live in. They live in heavily wooded areas and make their dens in rocky areas of the ground. Malayan porcupines create burrows which lead into huge networks of tunnels beneath their surrounding habitats, allowing them to get around during the daytime without being exposed to sunlight.

 

They live with other adults of their species and usually produce litters of two or three pups after a pregnancy of around 110 days.

The Malayan porcupine is covered at birth with soft quills which sharpen into rigid, hard quills upon reaching adulthood. This is the animal's defense mechanism and is effective to most predators and hunters that come after these porcupines. Though not predators themselves, they eat fruits, roots, nuts, and insects, as well as carrion (or dead animal matter).

In general, the Malayan porcupine is endangered because of over-hunting and human overpopulation into their habitats. There are tribes of people who eat them and who use their quills for decorative purposes. They are also hunted by feral cats, some types of wild hogs, and other predatory animals that live in the same region as they do. In some countries like Vietnam, their paws are considered good-luck charms just as rabbits' feet are in the United States. Without a little consideration and help from mankind, this unique species will become extinct very quickly. The International Union for Conservation of Nature ranks the Malayan porcupine as a vulnerable species with a high likelihood of facing extinction in the wild. This is due to the fact that they are hunted for their meat. They are also hunted to be displayed as decoration for their unique quills and coloring.

The Malayan porcupine is listed as Vulnerable (VU), considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild, on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

Namings for the Malayan porcupine

A young / baby of a Malayan porcupine is called a 'pup'. The females are called 'sow' and males 'boar'. A Malayan porcupine group is called a 'prickle or family'.

7 Prickly Facts About Porcupines

Africa’s largest rodents, porcupines, are also known as ‘Quill Pigs’. They are prickly creatures, each one with more than 30,000 needle-like quills on their back, sides and tail. While searching for food they make grunting sounds and are most active during the night. Now let's learn some more interesting facts about this amazing creature!

1. The name porcupine means ‘one who rises up in anger’. These nocturnal species are difficult to find in the daytime as they love to sleep during the day. Known as master-climbers, porcupines have strong feet, curved claws and flat paws for climbing trees. Some also use their strong tail to climb trees.

2. Porcupines do not hibernate. They prefer to live in shady places such as forests, hillsides, grasslands and deserts. They prefer to choose a cave, tree, or snow banks that are safe from predators. Their homes are called dens.

3. Being herbivores, porcupines do not eat meat and feed mostly on leaves, pine-needles, herbs, twigs and the thin bark of trees. They use their sharp and strong teeth to chew through tough wood and seeds. Their long incisors are used to tear into bark.

4. Porcupines are famous for the stiff, thick quills which cover their body, except for their face and tail. They protect them against predators such as coyotes, dogs, bears, foxes and even humans. Quills lost in self defense are soon replaced by new ones. Though porcupines are not aggressive animals, it is better to stay away, as being pierced by these quills is painful and could even result in death in extreme cases.

5. The end of summer or early fall is the mating season for porcupines. Babies known as porcupettes are born with soft quills, which get hard within hours. In about six months the baby gets ready to leave their mother after they learn how to survive.

6. There are two main groups of porcupines: Old World porcupines are mainly ground-dwelling animals while New World porcupines are those which can climb trees. The common porcupine is also known as the North American porcupine, which is found in wooded regions from Alaska to Mexico.

7. In the past, Native Americans used quills to decorate clothing, moccasins, headdresses, birch bark boxes and pouches. The animal was also an important source of food.

Today, some people consider porcupines to be pests, but in reality these shy creatures are very helpful to other animals. By feeding mostly on common tree species and nibbling on treetop leaves, they bring more sunlight to dense forests. They may not see well and often tumble out of trees – but we still have much to learn about this spiky creature!

This is how is the stones look likes...

Real Story-The Essence of Life ~ Porcupine Dates

The whole family is so exhausted and so hopeless seeing him in coma condition. He was admitted Intensive Care Unit in coma and critical condition due to food poisoning and highly uric acid foods ingestion. The intestine containing e-coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria and which went into his blood, urine and brain cells. Plus his constants vomiting caused dehydration and lost of fluids. After heavy vomiting and the stomach acid have destroyed his esophagus becomes inflamed and sore.

To his illness condition and urination is getting lessen, and doctor said he may have to going through the operation procedure by insert a small tube; this operation procedure is called ureteral stent through the bladder into the ureter to restore the flow of urine to the bladder, as he is in difficulty to pass urine due to the swollen and inflammation kidney. Increase of urine creatinine level may leads to kidney failure, and certain complication has causes this syndrome.

We all so much so rejected this operation as he is still in the unstable, high fever, and critical condition, partly due to his elderly as the reasons, we think he is not advisable to going through this suffer again to increase risk. Moreover, he had done this surgery last year that really gave him uncomfortable and painful for months. It does not help much and causes other complications to him. The stent may have to remaining in place for short-term or maybe long term basis.

The doctor has no guarantee that surgery would save his life. At this stage, we rejected the doctor’s suggestion; doctor warned us and he would not responsible for our intention for not doing the insertion of ureteral stent for urination operation. We afraid the surgery may worsening the infection.

To our surprise he was awakened from the coma, it is miracle. But he can’t talk and eat. The throat incubation has save his lives but also caused inflammation to his throat. And what we can do it to first reduces his inflamed throat to minimize the pains and fever. Secondly, is to control the uric acid and help in passing urination by natural way to reduce the swollen kidney. At this moment, we came to the conclusion of using alternative way of homeopathic remedy for detoxification process, to get rid of his inflamed throat and kidney.

I came across this miracle stuff that suggested by my mom and sister. At first, we were quite discouraged to use such an expensive way of homeopathic treatment, reason is how truth and any harmful side effect after all. So I surf online for further information. Then from what we had tried on him, it is really a good stuff for alternative healing instead of going through operation procedure. This is only the alternative way to soothe and lessen his throat inflammation at the first place, when we decided to do so. But anyhow, we had done with the doctor’s supervision.

We bought this stuff from Chinese medicine shop. To be frankly, the price is shocking high, due to its valuable effect, hard to find also one of the reason, and we also can’t believe it.

At first, I told my friends about this stuff and its benefits, it is a miracle alternative medicine to my dad, and my friend suggested whether I would place this article on my “Simply Senz” blog? 

I just simply answer my friend that ‘it is such an expensive medicine, this may caused the crisis of price to the medicine’; hopefully not. Yet still many peoples are not awake of its usage and useful benefits in alternative way of healing. So now I decided to place here as an alternative healing reference to my readers. 

After few doses of feeding to my dad with this ‘Porcupine Dates’, though I still can’t believe the goodness of its healing. After a short period of 2 days, he has rapidly recovered and reduces of painful throat; the ulcer in his mouth has reduced. Now he can talk and drink some liquid foods. Fever has been reduced. His urination is flow smoothly and clears without the crystal substance in it. The creatinine count in the urine,values range from 4700/mg has dropped and reduces rapidly to 1700/mg in normalize level.

The name of this stuff is called “Porcupine Dates” 

In Chinese name as “豪猪枣” or "箭猪枣" (Jian Zhu Zao)

This Porcupine Dates can be found in South East Asia, that can buy from certain Chinese medicine shop.

The characteristics of Porcupine Dates are calculus growth like a rare “stone” shape like a “date”, that found in the stomach of a porcupine. When porcupine is ill or injured, porcupine will find the wild growth herbs in the forest to cure itself. As the virus is besieged this porcupine dates will grow as the healing progress this “dates shape stone” may form in the stomach. The size and the medical value is based on the duration of time, or it grows in bigger size by the age of the porcupine.

I tasted this porcupine dates, its taste is bitter. The benefit is to remove phlegm, detoxification, natural immunization booster, anti-inflammation, anti-body and supper antioxidant.

Traditionally, this has been recorded in old Chinese medicine book. According to its valuable testimonial has been shown successfully treat lymphoma, blood cancer, dengue fever, fever, retention of fluid to the lungs, lumber swollen, and herpes complex, before operation or after surgery, diabetes and lungs infection.

What I can see that some of the “Food” can be poisonious if overeating, also food can be a healer too. What I am trying to say homeopathic remedy sometimes does help a lot. Remember, before trying any alternative homeopathic remedy please consult your doctor or physician first.

I hope through this experience that I overcoming in using the alternative way of homeopathic remedy to my dad, to share it with other when situation comes to worst stage. If needed, no harm trying to help in minimizes the painful condition to elderly sick patient if needed. It also depending on individual body health condition.

Valuable porcupine date worth over RM110,000

BAHAU, Negeri Sembilan: A resident in Bahau accidentally removed a fresh porcupine date from a porcupine last week. A buyer from Johor Bahru was willing to pay RM110,000 for it but the owner just refused to sell. This porcupine date weighs 170 grams. As its size is unusually big, it therefore fetches a very high price.

Since the resident refuses to publicise his finding, he has been trying very hard to keep a low profile on this extraordinary porcupine date.

Relieving pain and inflammation
Li Wan Long, a traditional Chinese medical practitioner in Bahau, said during an interview with Sin Chew Daily that porcupine dates were considered a type of Chinese medicine. Due to their powerful curative effects and rarity, they are usually priced extremely high, and porcupine date can cost between RM600 and RM700 a gram.

He said porcupine dates were very effective in relieving pain and inflammation, especially among pregnant women and post-surgery patients.

In addition, porcupine dates also help prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancers.
It has been reported that a buyer from Johor Bahru intended to acquire the porcupine date for RM110,000 but the owner refused to sell it because he believed the offered price did not match the actual value of the porcupine date.

Li said porcupine dates were very rare and hard to get, therefore a porcupine date weighing more than a hundred grams was a truly rare find.

According to him, when porcupines are suffering from illnesses or injuries, they will look for herbs in the forest for self-healing, and these herbs will accumulate around the stones formed inside their bodies to become porcupine dates.

He said even if porcupine dates might be a burden to the animals, they were a much treasured formulation for traditional medical practitioners.

Attracting frauds
He said due to the exorbitant prices these porcupine dates fetched, there were irresponsible tradesmen selling fraudulent dates to make money.

He said six months ago an Indonesian man and his son brought some porcupine dates here to sell, and they were beaten up by the people at a hotel in Johor Bahru after it was discovered that they were selling fraudulent porcupine dates.

He lamented that many hunters failed to check the bodies of porcupines for the dates, adding that fresh porcupine dates could deteriorate in quality if they were not properly handled. (Translated by LIM LIY EE/Sin Chew Daily)

Man caught rearing porcupines in cages

Demand for the meat of the porcupine and bezoar stones from its gall-bladder is so high that a government pensioner has been rearing them in cages at his home in Rawang.
People who believe that the bezoar stones of porcupines can cure dengue fever and flu have been his customers, along with outlets serving exotic wildlife dishes.

Acting on a tip-off, enforcment officers from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks raided the pensioner's house on Tuesday.

They seized 13 porcupines and cleaned porcupine meat kept in a freezer together with a carcass of a baby porcupine believed kept to be boiled for soup.
Selangor Wildlife and National Parks Department deputy director Mohammad Khairi Ahmad said man had no permit to rear the animals.

He said the pensioner, who is in his 50's, built more than 50 cages to rear the porcupines which he caught from the nearby oil palm estates and forested areas around Rawang.
Medicinal shops in Klang sell porcupine bezoar stones for as much as RM700 for a mere 0.38 grams. One stone the average size of a marble could fetch RM25,000. Customers from China snap up most of the stones.

Mohammad Khairi said porcupine carcasses are sold at RM400, adding that most of the time the animal is butchered and the meat sold at RM80 per kg. "For example if one porcupine is about 25 months-old, its meat alone could weigh eight kilos. So, there is more cash to be made if the animal is cut up and its meat is sold," he said.

Meanwhile, in the same district, another civil servant in his 30s was arrested for keeping eight porcupines and one civet known to locals as Musang Pulut (paradoxurus hermaphrodites).
In another case officers of the Wildlife department raided the Aqua 24 Pet Cage, Pet, Accessory and Exotic Pet shop in Section 24, Dataran Usahawan here and seized three African Ball Pythons, two Burmese Pythons and one Reticulated Python.

The owner was arrested.

Mohammad said the department would get a court order to release the porcupines animals to the Sungai Dusun Wildlife Reserve in Kuala Kubu Baru.
All three arrested will be charged under Section 68, of the Wildlife Protection Act 1972 (Act 76) under which the maximum fine is not more than RM3,000 or a three-year jail term or both.

Interesting facts about Porcupine Stones…

Several incidences have been pointing to the porcupine bezoar stone as one amazing alternative medicine for almost all kinds of diseases even tumor and cancer. Its high medicinal value is comparable to the Chinese herbs for cancer. Some stories about this porcupine stone were quite unbelievable but true. Sometime in the history of the Chinese herb medicine, the porcupine bezoar stone was used to cure patients suffering from terminal illness. The porcupine bezoar is popular only to people who had witnessed its amazing works on patients with terminal diseases but hasn’t gain much popularity around the globe.

Porcupines have special stiff needle like quills as hair that serves to sting and drive predators away. The muscles are controlling the quills. The quills are filled with air and it can lie flat or straight up. Research across the world established only two types of porcupines. Those that live and eat on the ground and those that spend most of their time in trees. The quills make the porcupine buoyant in water. Although they don’t have venom, they do have barbs on each end that tend to expand as they penetrate the skin of the enemy. Any movement from the enemy causes the quill to go deeper making it most of the time, impossible to remove.

Porcupines belong to the herbivores group of animals. The favourite foods of porcupines are bitter tasting roots and branches of plants and herbs. The diet of this group of animals was associated to its strong immune system and ability to heal quickly. They possess very strong immune system that effectively fights toxins and inhibits the effects of poison. It certainly works as effective antidotes to poisons. Bezoar literally means antidote in Persian language. The herb that they seek when sick contains certain chemical compounds that help fight the damages brought by toxins as well as facilitate healing. Several studies revealed that unused chemical compounds form a stone like substance inside its body called porcupine bezoar. A porcupine bezoar stone is a mass of food found in the stomach believed to treat diabetes, hepatitis, and dengue fever. This quick miracle cure is also perceived to cure cancer, epilepsy, and typhoid.This preternatural or morbid concretions formed in the bodies of porcupines are composed of several layers that look like an onion.

The bigger porcupine bezoar, also known as porcupine stone or porcupine date, demonstrates better quality and higher medicinal value. A porcupine bezoar stone is comparable to Chinese herbs for cancer because it consists of trichobezoars, phytobezoars, or pharmacobezoars. Trichobezoars are partially digested hair. Phytobezoars are fibres coming from fruits and vegetables. Pharmacobezoars are hardened blocks of drugs.

A real story...

Porcupne Bezoar - 1 packet costing RM250.00

Recently, I was down with dengue fever and a friend gave me 2 packet of Porcupine Bezoar.  I was to eat 1/2 packet in the morning and the balance in the evening.

I was confirmed to have dengue after 5 days of high fever.  By then my blood platelet was down to 130 but the hospital won't admit me.  I was asked to have another blood test the next day.

 

On the 6th day morning, my friend gave me 2 packets of Porcupine Bezoar and immediately I took 1/2  packet.  About an hour after taking the Porcupine Bezoar, I went for the schedule blood test.  My blood platelet was down to 83 but my fever was gone.
I was admitted into the hospital and continue to take the balance Porcupine Bezoar.  On the 7th day, my blood platelet was down to 79 with no fever.  The doctor was pleased with the little drop.

 

On the 8th day, my blood platelet was up to 95 and I was discharged from the hospital. Porcupine Bezoar powdered is easy to consume and it licorice taste is pleasant to the palate.

As at todate, there is still no medicine to cure  dengue fever.  In the hospital, the patient is put on drip with constant monitoring of fever and blood platelet only.  It is all up to your body to fight this virus. However, we now know that water melon juice, papaya leave juice and the most effective Porcupine Bezoar can help to reduce heat and clear the dengue virus.

PORCUPINE BEZOAR

Porcupine Bezoar is a type of stone-like substance found in a porcupine's body.  Since a long time ago, it was recognized and used by the people for having the effect of "resurrecting" patients with terminal illness.  It is known for saving lives of those patients at the brink of death.  Contain high medicinal values.

Before we draw your attention to the value of the porcupine bezoar, we must first get to know the porcupine that is rare.

Porcupines are animals covered with spikes.  These mammals' habitat is the jungle.  A porcupine has strong survival instincts and heals quickly whenever it is sick.  This is related to its diet.  Herbivores by nature, its favourite food are bitter-tasting plants' roots and branch.  Since most bitter-tasting plants are sources of medicinal herbs, procupine has an immune system that is strong against toxins and poisons.  When it is injured or sick, it will go seeking for a type of herb.  This herb, when digested, produces a type of chemical that fights and kills toxins in the porcupine's body, enabling it to heal quickly.  But the left over chemicals in its body would slowly gather and form a type of stone-like substance, also known as Porcupine Bezoar.

Since each porcupine varies in its internal structure, immunity, gene structure and habitat, their body structure also varies.  There are differences in its external body, body tone, size, quality and colour.

The longer a porcupine bozoar is left in a porcupine's body, the bigger it will be in its size, medicinal value and quality.  However, porcupine bezoar does not exist inside every procupine, even if it does exist, there will only be one piece.  As such, it is very valuable.

Each porcupine bezoar looks different.  It is very challenging to determine a porcupine bezoar's quality & authenticity, and the expertise & knowledge in it is essential.

Bezoar

A bezoar (/ˈbiːzɔər/, from Persian bazahr, "antidote") is a mass found trapped in the gastrointestinal system (usually the stomach),[2] though it can occur in other locations.[3][4] A pseudobezoar is an indigestible object introduced intentionally into the digestive system.[5]
There are several varieties of bezoar, some of which have inorganic constituents and others organic.

Bezoars were sought because they were believed to have the power of a universal antidote against any poison. It was believed that a drinking glass which contained a bezoar would neutralize any poison poured into it. The word "bezoar" comes from the Persian pâdzahr (پادزهر), which literally means "antidote".

刺猬，又称"豪猪".未经开发的森林中，有聪明的刺猬，受伤或生病时，会自行挖掘草药吃。久而久之，草药在其体内会累积成一种结石。此结石称为“豪猪枣”。“豪猪枣”的功用很多的功效具有清熱解毒帮助镇痛，辅助伤口快速愈合，療基孔症，蚊症等等。但是，价格很贵假货也很多价格比黄金还要贵。
豪猪枣 (箭猪枣)

豪猪枣是豪猪体内的一种如结石般的东西。很久以来就在民间被延用和认同是一种能使患有绝症者起死回生，往往在生死关头救你一命，有着非常高药疗的稀有珍品。

为了使人们认识豪猪枣的价值，我们也必须同时对豪猪这种稀珍动物有所认识。

豪猪即是一种全身长满尖刺，居息在森林里的一种哺乳动物。它有很强的生命力，往往生病后都能很快痊愈，这和它的进食习惯有关。豪猪是草食动物，尤其喜食含苦味的植物的茎和根部。由于一般含苦味的植物都是药草的根源，因此，豪猪本身具有能解百毒的抗体免疫功能。当它受伤或生病时，它会去寻食一种草药。草药在豪猪体内消化后和它的解毒抗体混合产生一种分泌物来化解它体内的病毒，使它迅速痊愈。而一些仍然剩留在豪猪体内的分泌物，久而久之就累积形成如结石般的东西也就是所谓的豪猪枣。

因为每只豪猪的体质，强弱，基因结构，获取食物草药的环境会影响豪猪枣的结构。这也是为什么每粒豪猪枣的外观，光滑度，大小，素质，颜色等都有差异。

如果一粒豪猪枣滞留在豪猪体内的时间越久，它的体积将会越大，药性成份的累积更多，品质更佳。然而并非每只豪猪体内都有豪猪枣，即使有也是一只才的一粒，所以身价非凡。

每一粒豪猪枣看上去都不一样的，要鉴定一颗豪猪枣品质的优劣，真假，就可相当考功夫了，非得要拥有这方面的专业知识才行呢！

豪猪枣的药用价值 

根据中药学上的纪录，我们的祖先和一些原住民很早就有药用豪猪枣的智慧。 如今随着医学的进步，通过研究也确认了豪猪枣在医疗上是有一定的功效与价值。它对以下一些病症有很明显的附加药用功效。

Deep inside the natural forest

Deep inside the natural forest, the wild porcupine will feed themselves wild herbs and grasses when they’re injured… and after soon after, their body will produce a kind of kidney stone with all the nutrient of the herbs it consumed. This stone thingy is really rare and hard to find, thus it’s not hard to understand why it’s of sky high price.

You can imagine that how small it is, since it’s just a piece of kidney stone from a small porcupine, yet it was priced at RM72,000, enough to buy an Toyota Avanza! It was suppose to be hyper efficient in healing dengue fever, operation wound and helps in get rid of toxic in our body…
As mentioned earlier, mom though it would be good for my wound healing process and went ahead to bought it, 4 dose of it. One dose were priced at RM400, discounted price some more…

A blow on it would also blown RM400 away
She said that eating this will help my wound to recover quick. So she force-feed me with this powdery thingy T.T

Porcupine Bezoars – The Best Medicine?

Source from: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/animals-vegetarianism/porcupine-bezoars-%E2%80%93-the-best-medicine.html

In Chinese traditional medicine, there are some incredible sources of natural remedies for all kinds of ailments. One of these many interesting remedies believed to be able to cure various conditions is called a bezoar.
A bezoar is a mass of food found trapped in an animal’s stomach system, usually from consuming grass and herbs. In particular, bezoar stones found in porcupines are believed to be used to cure cancer, diabetes, dengue fever, typhoid, epilepsy, hepatitis as well as many other conditions.

In Malaysia, there is a high demand for porcupine bezoar stones and medicinal shops can charge as much as RM700 for under a half gram! There is a lot of money to be made from obtaining these stones and people are very keen to make a profit from those looking to find quick-fix miracle cures.

However, the high demand for porcupine bezoars means that countless porcupines suffer needlessly in order to meet that demand. Recent news stories have given heart-breaking insights into such suffering. People who try to profit from the bezoar stones keep the poor animals in cramped cages and the porcupine is butchered for its meat and the stones are removes from its stomach to be sold on. (You can read one such story here:  http://dailychilli.com/news/1364-how-bezoar-man-caught-rearing-porcupines-in-cages).

Recently, I have had bouts of illness and have been searching for remedies so my health can improve quickly. However, whatever I experience when I am ill is nothing compared to the terrifying trauma and brutal treatment poor porcupines are faced with. If I were to use porcupine bezoars in order to heal, I would not feel good about my health and recovery at all, knowing that a porcupine had suffered a horrific death. Especially when I can find alternative methods and remedies. Hence I refused to use this. It is your choice, but have compassion for animals please.

Porcupines suffer tremendously and there is no 100% guarantee that the bezoar stones will cure people of their condition. There are many other ways in which we can treat our ailments and illnesses. Why do we need to force unnecessary suffering upon porcupines and other animals to tend to our health? It makes no sense that we should feel positive about our own health improving when the cause for this is an animal having been slaughtered on our behalf.

In our practice, we pray to take on the suffering of all beings so that we can develop compassion and loving kindness towards all sentient beings. Imagine how hypocritical it would be to pray for the benefit of all sentient beings while we are happy for a poor defenseless animal to die a horrible death for our own gain. That doesn’t provide any benefit for the porcupine at all – only terror, suffering and pain!
When we are ill, we should definitely look towards getting better as quickly as possible. No-one wants to suffer; everyone wants to live in peace and without pain. We should keep this in mind when considering all other beings too: they also want to live in peace and without suffering. There are many, many ways that we can treat our illnesses and conditions and as spiritual practitioners, we should always endeavor to check that the treatment we seek out is free from causing suffering to other beings.

Efficacious Remedy using Porcupine Date

Source from: http://y3kfreerecipes.blogspot.sg/2008/08/hao-zhu-zao.html

Not too long ago, an internet pal of our son came down with dengue and was admitted to the local hospital in Singapore. Apparently, it was too late and she died of dengue haemorrhagic fever after a couple of hours of admission. We were all saddened to hear of the sudden death as she was only 19. Last month our son’s other friend was feeling all uptight as her father was warded in a Kuala Lumpur private hospital as it was another case of dengue fever. The family resides in an apartment not far from some construction sites with abandoned material. These could have been good breeding ground for the Aedes mosquitoes. Our son visited him at the ward and told us that this uncle-friend needed a blood transfusion the next day as his blood count had dropped drastically. It reminded us of the epsiode of our reader-cum-friend in Banting who needed eight packs of blood for the same cause.

Suddenly, it struck us of a Chinese folk remedy introduced to us by a mutual friend. This herbal subject is the porcupine date( Hao Zhu Zao). Well, it’s like a kidney stone of the wild porcupines which goes into deep jungles and feed on wild herbs. We have seen the utmost superior grade at a famous herbal place in Kuala Lumpur with a branded price of RM 72,000 for the whole ball. You actually need a scrapping of half-a-teaspoon for each dose. Yes, we have heard much of its effectiveness in combating dengue fever and raising blood count. So, off we went to a nearby herbal shop to purchase two packs of this ground powder of the porcupine date. It costs RM600.00 for this grade at a single dose. After paying RM1,200.00, we thought the remedy has to do him some good for the money spent. Each grade differs as only experienced herbalist can tell. It all depends on environment as where the porcupines thrive and how well the wild herbs flourish. His wife fed him the first dose that night as he was in a very delirious state of mind. Another dose was given to him early next morning. The doctor who came on round later in the morning was surprised at his rapid recovery. His blood count had raised tremendously and was given an immediate discharge.

According to the Chinese folk remedy, the first dose from a good grade is sufficient to raise the blood count but the second dose helps to prevent joint aches during old age if you have had severe dengue fever before. Sad to say, little or no research has been done on this remedy and not scientifically documented. Older generations who lived centuries ago must have understood of how desirable the active principles of the stone could be. But cheap and natural food listed below can help dengue patients within the hospitalization period and the home recovery time to feel better if taken daily for one month. These are all natural products like double-boiling a few small bitter gourds with a couple of paddy frogs and water. Drink this soup daily for 30 days. Or blend the red flesh and white part of the watermelon into a juice. Discard the green skin. Drinking this fruit juice often can help to cool the heaty body’s system. Another remedy is to sip the juice of the local green coconut in order to balance the body’s fluid. Do not consume the fragrant coconut as it has a different role.

Well, whatever happens to any suspected dengue case, is still best to be diagnosed by the doctor to confirm the infection. We learnt a painful lesson from the young friend’s death.

豪猪枣
前阵子，儿子一个住在新加坡的网友患上蚊症而发高烧入院，不到几个小时就离开人世，年龄只有十九岁。上个月，他另一个居住在吉隆坡公寓朋友的父亲投诉因建筑商将货柜搁置在附近而滋生蚊虫而患上蚊症入院。孩子到医院探访后回来告诉我们：「医生说血小板指数一直往下掉，明天需要输血。」这让我想起另一个住在万津的朋友同样因蚊症而输了八包血的经历。

我们曾经听过另一个朋友说：「豪猪（箭猪）散可以治疗蚊症，效果显著。」豪猪散取之于豪猪枣，曾经在一家中药店看到一粒比拳头还小的豪猪枣标价超过七万令吉，令人咋舌。根据医师透露豪猪枣是豪猪的石，想不到却能成为药物。我们抱着姑且一试的心情买了两剂豪猪散，药材店将深褐色的豪猪枣以锋利的刀片刮出少许再研成粉末，品质好的每剂售价六百令吉，两剂总共一千二百令吉。

当天晚上我们到医院探望患者，他在精神恍惚下服下一剂，隔天再服另一剂。早上医生为他作检查时大吃一惊，竟然完全痊愈，不需要输血，并宣布即刻可以出院了！根据中医师的说法：「服用第二剂豪猪枣的目的是避免蚊症后遗症，以免年纪渐长骨头会疼痛。」所以即使可能服用一剂已足以痊愈，服用这第二剂有其必要性。

不幸患上蚊症者除了服用豪猪枣之外，接下来的后续调理也不可不注意。根据老一辈人的建议，接着连续一个月可以多食用以下的食物，对骨热痛症患者有帮助。每天喝小苦瓜炖田鸡，据说这样一来可以解除体内残余的毒素。将西瓜的白肉及红肉一起打成水现打现喝，以及多喝本地的嫩椰水。

无论如何，发烧的事可大可小，如果发烧持续不退，即刻到医院检验才是正确之道！
