World’s first cure for dengue fever developed by Aussie scientists

A team of Queensland scientists led by renowned microbiologist Prof. Max Reynolds have developed the world’s first cure for dengue fever by distilling Melaleuca alternifolia leaves from Australia’s native tea tree plant.

Now available worldwide, 98alive is a unique natural medicine containing Melaleuca alternifolia leaf concentrate that is antiviral, antibacterial and has immune-boosting properties  which have been scientifically proven to cure all four strains of dengue fever.

Reynolds said the product is a significant breakthrough in treating dengue fever, a disease transferred to humans through Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which is estimated to affect 390 million people every year and is particularly prevalent throughout Asia.

He said: “98alive is taken in capsule form, so it is easy to administer. It has been proven to eliminate  the virus within 10 minutes of being taken, which not only reduces the chance of the disease becoming life-threatening but also prevents it from spreading.”
