Kidapawan City – Early today, I sat down with the famous village medicine man from Bangbang, Matalam who according to anecdotal accounts has formulated an herbal concoction that provided relief to many Dengue patients.
Ronilo Cajelo Balolo says the herbal concoction he developed since 1999 comes from medicinal plants found in the forest.
In spite of his popularity which draws hundreds of patients to his remote house everyday, Nilo’s appearance was very simple.
He came to my farm house this morning wearing what appeared to be a pre-owned jacket with matching multi-colored manicured fingernails.
Patients are not charged but he accepts voluntary donations to pay for his workers who boil and prepare the concoction.
I have long heard about him from my farm workers who suffered from Dengue and survived because of Nilo’s concoction.
Nilo says there are so many herbal remedies but their efficacy depends on the preparation.
In spite of the anecdotal claims that his concoction is effective, he advises severely dehydrated patients to see a doctor for rehydration.
He says he is willing to share his concoction to whoever believes in its healing powers.
