Some people believe Pawpaw is meant for eating alone. Obviously not, the inquiry is, what number of us know the MEDICAL value of Carica Papaya?
A story
Many years back, I visited a close buddy in his home with his wife and two children. This, my friend, had an old SORE that refused to heal despite all daily medications.
The SORE has gotten into a severe stage that my friend’s leg was getting rotten away. I questioned him, why did he not treat the SORE? He said, “I do treat it with Western medicines, but the leg is so stubborn”.
To be sincere, hearing this sentence (… western medicines, but the leg is so stubborn) from him was a kind statement from him that wasn’t cool to me and I made up my mind to help him out of the situation. Shockingly at the back of his home, are two good-looking Pawpaw plants. Immediately, I
teach him how to treat his SORE with Pawpaw fruit. After one month, his leg was healthy once again, and he was able to trek down to my house without anyone holding him.
Several people are dying daily of common illnesses that can be easily cured with plants growing at the back of their houses. Visit our clinic centers, and you will understand.
