Good Day Thailand!
It’s so great to finally be in contact with you!
My name is Prashant Maharaj and I am currently partnered with a medical Dengue Specialist, Dr
Ravindra Maharaj MSc, MBA on solving the Dengue epidemic that is facing the world.
Approximately 3 months ago, Sri Lanka had a very severe Dengue Outbreak which claimed the lives of over 300 citizens.
Now, with a recent Monsoon that occurred in India, Nepal and Bangladesh, many citizens are being infected at a rapid rate!
My medical Dengue specialist has created a regime that can TREAT an infected patient and prevent them from dying.
Also, we have been able to formulate a systematic approach to re-habilitate patients who have been infected and allow them to go back to work.
We would like to partner with your government and private companies on doing further research on this topic, as well as, treating and curing all those infected patients.
With the recent Hurricane Harvey in Texas, we have theorized that there may be a large out-break of Dengue, Zika and Chick V coming.
I am interested in your rehabilitation processes. I contracted the virus on or about October 30. I experienced all the symptoms except the severe headache and skin rash. I tested positive for Dengue Virus AB IGM on November 24 and was hospitalized for 3 days. On November 20 my platelet count was 140,000 and by the 24th it had dropped to 85,000. By 10:00a on the 25th, I was down to 65,000. Currently I am back over 100,000 platelet count.
