Cholera (also known as Asiatic cholera or epidemic cholera is an acute enterotoxin-mediated gastrointestinal infection caused by the gram negative bacillus Vibrio cholera, It promotes fluid and electrolyte loss and, possibly, hypovolemic shock, metabolic acidosis, and death. A similar bacterium, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, causes food poisoning.
Even with prompt diagnosis and treatment, cholera is fatal in up to 2% of children; in adults, it’s fatal in less than 1% however, untreated cholera may be fatal in as many as 50% of patients. Cholera infection confers only transient community.
Treatments
- Karpoorasava
- Valerian : In Europe, Valerian essential oil has been used for cholera, epilepsy, and various skin complaints.
- Rose Essential Oil is a good bactericide. It can be used in treatment of typhoid, diarrhea, cholera, food poisoning and other diseases which are caused by bacteria.
- Fennel : Recent scientific studies show that simple spices, which include sweet fennel and red chili, are potentially effective in fighting and slowing the growth of certain bacteria associated with cholera.
- White pepper : extracts of red chili, sweet fennel and white pepper could substantially inhibit cholera toxin (CT) production.
- Indian Long Pepper has been applied in the treatment of scarlatine, cholera, diarrhoea, vertigo, arthritis and paralytic disorders.
- Chili Pepper : Common spices such as garlic, red chilli and white pepper drastically inhibited cholera toxin production from different strains of the germ that cause cholera.
- Costus oil is used for asthma, cough, gas, and severe intestinal diseases such as dysentery and cholera.
- Veratrum Album (White Hellebore) was one of the three great remedies Hahnemann successfully used two hundred years ago to eradicate cholera epidemics (the others were Camphor and Cuprum). And of course it can still cure cholera even today.
- Colloidal Silver is used to treat infections due to yeast; bacteria (tuberculosis, Lyme disease, bubonic plague, pneumonia, leprosy, gonorrhea, syphilis, scarlet fever, stomach ulcers, cholera); parasites (ringworm, malaria); and viruses (HIV/AIDS, pneumonia, herpes, shingles, warts).
- Streblus Asper is used traditionally in the treatment of cancer (Rastogi & Dhawan, 1990), cholera, colic, diarrhea, dysentery, menorrhagia (Bhakuni et al., 1969), epilepsy and inflammatory swelling (Jain, 1991).
- Kvass : in XIX century scientists found out that kvass has bactericidal properties: in 20 minutes it killed Vibrio cholerae and typhoid bacillus.
- Podophyllum
- Gastroenteritis
- Salvia Sclarea
- Resistant Starch
- Winged Prickly Ash
