Take Care of Ecoli Induced Illness Naturally

Take Care of Ecoli Induced Illness Naturally!
© By Lena Sanchez

This time of the year Ecoli related illnesses tend to run rampant
in the warmer parts of the world. Sadly treatment given isn't
always best!

E. coli can cause vomiting, cramping and severe diarrhea,
which can then lead to dehydration. One of the most common
sources of E. coli is eating undercooked meat. E. coli
outbreaks often occur during the summertime when many
Americans are enjoying barbecues, picnics and foods
served at public carnivals and festivals. Health experts
advise thoroughly cooking all meats; washing hands with
hot water and soap before preparing foods; and refrigerating
perishable foods, cooked or not.

Antibiotic Treatment for E.coli Risky

Children who are treated for E.coli infection with antibiotics
are at a greater risk of developing a toxic condition that can
lead to kidney failure.

Say's the findings from a study released by The New England
Journal of Medicine, which carry's some heavy public health
implications. Both researchers at Children's Hospital Regional
Medical Center and the University of Washington in Seattle,
studied 71 children age 10 or younger who had E.coli induced
diarrhea. Nine received antibiotics. Ten children, including five
of the nine treated with antibiotics, developed HUS (hemolytic
uremic syndrome), a condition in which the patient's urine output
diminishes while, at the same time, red blood cells are being
destroyed. E.coli induced HUS is more common among children
than adults, and often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection.
HUS is also the major cause of kidney failure among the
15-years and under crowd.

Researchers say there were no major differences between
the patients except that some had


received antibiotics while
others had not. The researcher reports "We therefore
recommend against giving antibiotics to children who may be
infected with E.Coli until the results of a stool culture indicate
that the (infection) responsible is one that is appropriately
treated by an antibiotic."

Yet the prescribing of antibiotics continue for E.coli
suspected gastrointestinal problems!

Two treatments that I found to work without antibiotics are;
First - Add Probiotic's to the intestinal track to help take care
of the E.coli naturally. This addition will overcome and kill the
offending bacteria… Ecoli cannot take hold of your system
when a balanced intestinal ecosystem exists. Better yet,
have your intestinal tract so tuned up that Ecoli can't get
access to it. See why

Second - Take a tablespoon of Ionic Sliver Water morning
and evening for five or six days, this is also known to kill the
offending bacteria, even those that hide in the system that
come out later and cause problems. With both these
additions you and your child can enjoy the summer.

Both of these should be kept in your medicine war chest
(not in the bathroom cabinet) as they are the closest thing to
helping the most illnesses and keep the immune system
tuned up to ward off illnesses.
