Here are some good tips for you -
* Restrict intake of certain foods and beverages that could worsen the condition – avoid coffee, alcohol,
refined sugar, and refined foods.
* Consume anti-parasitic foods that may speed up the healing process by clearing parasites from the
digestive tract - Raw garlic has anti-parasitic properties and is a good cure for other digestive problems as
well. You can chew on a clove of garlic (but that's pungent!) or use it as garnish in your food. Pineapple
also has the ability to clear certain parasites, as it contains the digestive enzyme bromelain. However,
nothing works better at cleansing the intestines than a diet rich in fiber.
Psyllium husk, papaya extract, beetroot, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, and bentonite clay are some highly
effective intestinal cleansers. You must also strengthen your immune system by including adequate
amounts of vitamin C and zinc in your diet. Spices like turmeric and cloves, and some other products like
margosa, olive leaf, oregano, thyme, and barberry are also effective at getting rid of parasites in the
digestive tract, and should be included in your diet.
The infection can affect anyone, but people in crowded developing countries with poor sanitary conditions are at a
greater risk. The parasites are usually spread through water or food that has been contaminated with entamoeba
histolytica. Though amebiasis doesn’t always show up clinically, some symptoms of amebiasis are diarrhea,
abdominal cramps, bloody stools, fever, fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and vomiting. If not treated in time,
amebiasis could prove life threatening.
Amebiasis can be treated only through medication. However, there are measures that you can take to prevent
amebiasis, especially when traveling to tropical or developing countries. It is always advisable to drink bottled water,
water boiled for at least a minute, or filtered through ‘absolute 1 micron or less’ filters. Avoid fountain drinks and ice
cubes in your drinks, and consume only pasteurized milk or dairy products. Wash fresh fruits and vegetables
thoroughly, and peel them yourself. Anything sold by street vendors should be strictly avoided.

This disease generally occurs in young to middle aged adults, but can affect anyone because people
can be receptive to infection by ingesting contaminated food or water containing the Entamoeba
histolytica microorganism, although Amoebiasis is mostly associated with people living in areas of poor
sanitation and it is a common cause of diarrhea among people living or traveling to developing
countries, specially those located in tropical or subtropical areas, but also coming from domestic
suburbs with non hygienic conditions. Approximately 500 cases are reported each year in New York
State and most of those cases occur among New York City residents.
After infection, it may take from a few days up to two to four weeks before becoming ill. Some people
with amebiasis may carry the parasite for weeks to years, often without symptoms. Amoebiasis can
progress to amoebic dysentery in the wide, lower part of the intestine and then spread to cause
severe damage to the intestine. Although rarely, amoebiasis can cause abscesses in the liver, lungs,
and brain or even elsewhere in the body.
Amoebiasis occurs when Entamoeba histolytica parasites are taken in by mouth, eaten or swallowed
something infected with such parasite, however the most common way this happens is by person-to-
person spread. People with amoebiasis have Entamoeba histolytica parasites in their feces, and their
contaminated hands can spread the parasites to surfaces and objects which will be touched by other
people. Under certain circumstances, this disease may also spread sexually by oral-anal contact.
In your household, the risk to spread amoebiasis can be reduced if people infected or suffering
gastroenteritis do not prepare or handle food to be eaten by other people and that no one shares their
towel or wash cloths. Food handlers, child care workers and health care workers with amoebiasis must
not work until symptoms have stopped. Children must not attend child care centers, kindergartens or
schools until symptoms have stopped.
People with amoebiasis may experience mild or severe symptoms or no symptoms at all, the common
are stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, sometimes containing blood, loose stools, abdominal
tenderness and occasional fever and weight loss. Your doctor may proceed to examination of the
stools under a microscope to diagnose amebiasis and prescribe specific antibiotics such as
metronidazole to treat effectively this disease.
Fecal material from infected people may contaminate water or food serving as a vehicle to infect
others, so it is important that people observe preventive measures, infected or not, including careful
handwashing thoroughly with soap and hot running water for at least ten seconds after going to the
toilet. By frequently washing your hands you are eliminating the amoebiasis parasite that you have
picked up from contaminated surfaces, from other people, or from animals and animal waste. Infected
homosexuals should refrain from intimate contact and people traveling overseas, must take special
care.
Bathrooms and toilets must be cleaned often to avoid the spread of disease, paying particular
attention to surfaces such as handles, toilet seats, taps and diaper changing tables. Boil untreated
water coming directly from lakes or rivers before drinking it since it may be contaminated with feces
from people. Also contaminated food and drink are common sources of amoebiasis. Wash your hands
before preparing food, before eating, after going to the toilet or changing diapers, after smoking or
after using a tissue or handkerchief.
People must carefully select and prepare any food and drink as an effective preventive measure
against amoebiasis. Uncooked foods must be avoided, particularly vegetables and fruit, which cannot
be peeled before eating. Unpacked drinks and ice should also be avoided. Food handlers should always
use disposable paper towels or an air dryer to dry their hands. Generally, cloth towels are not
recommended as they can spread germs from one person to another.
Finally, remember that safe food storage and handling reduce also the risk of amoebiasis infections by
following simple guidelines:
* Reheat food until the internal temperature of the food reaches at least 167º Fahrenheit.
And do not forget that part of the microwave cooking process, includes careful instructions of the
standing times to ensure the food is completely cooked before it is served.

There is no specific diet recommended clinically to cure amebiasis. However, you can follow some dietary changes to
cleanse your system of all kinds of intestinal parasites. Please note that these are not specific to amebiasis alone, and
are also not medical treatments but only recommendations – if you have amebiasis, you need to undergo treatment
prescribed by your doctor. Firstly, you need to restrict the intake of certain foods and beverages that could worsen the
condition – avoid coffee, alcohol, refined sugar, and refined foods. You should consume anti-parasitic foods that may

Colon cleansing
Bowel movements are the basis of your health. If you don't have at least 1
bowel movement per day, you are already walking your way toward disease.
Man's body has not changed very much in the past several thousand years...
however man's diet has certainly changed a lot. All the refined sugar, white
flour, hormone/antibiotics-filled meats we constantly ingest constitute an
assault on our bodies. We are continuously violating our bodies by
eating terrible foods. Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in
the U.S.
So, all congestion and toxins must be removed, and it must begin with
cleansing of the bowel.
One of the most frequent bowel problems that people experience today
is constipation.
Disease usually begins with a toxic bowel. Those having fewer bowel
movements are harboring a potentially fertile breeding ground for serious
diseases. Infrequent or poor quality bowel movements over an extended
period of time may be very hazardous to your health.
A Proper Colon Cleansing Program Removes the Mucoid Plaque From the Colon.
Even a thin layer of mucoid plaque weakens the body. Nature intended
mucoid plaque to be sloughed off. But due to stress and diet, most Americans
have many hardened layers of mucoid plaque. The healthy colon weighs about
4 pounds. One autopsy revealed a colon choked with 40 pounds of impacted
mucoid plaque! A proper colon cleanse and detoxification program prepares
your body for optimal health by removing the mucoid plaque.
More often than not, natural colon cleansing means following a colon
cleansing diet along with taking some colon cleansing supplements which may
include herbs which are known to kill parasites and worms, contain digestive
enzymes, contain probiotics (beneficial bacteria), contain herbs that
stimulates liver, gallbladder and intestines, also psyllium husk or
seeds, Cascara Sagrada, or flax seeds, or slippery elm, and others.
Herbal colon
cleansingusing psyllium,
internal cleansing herbs
and other natural colon
cleansing products, is an
essential part of a good
detoxification program.
The person on a typical American diet holds 8 meals of undigested food and
waste material in the colon, while the person on the high fiber diet holds only
3. The herbal colon cleansing page and the colon health page explain in detail
how you can embark on a good colon cleansing program for yourself.
A good cleansing program should always begin by removing the waste in your
colon, the last portion of your food processing chain. If you attempt to clean
your liver, blood, orlymph system without first addressing a waste-filled
bowel, the excreted toxins will only get recycled back into your body.
Decrease Bowel Transit Time With Intestinal Cleansing
Once we truly understand that the "single greatest challenge our bodies face is
the effective removal of wastes and toxins", we will never again undermine the
importance of frequent bowel movements.
As the colon becomes impacted with dry putrefactive waste, its shape and
function are affected in numerous ways. It may stretch like a balloon in certain
areas, or develop something called "diverticula" (pouches on the intestinal
wall which may become infected), or fall down upon itself (prolapsed colon).
All of these colon malformations greatly impair your large intestine's ability to
function, which in turn places severe strain on your digestive organs and
glands and affects nutrient assimilation and absorption. The colon is the
body's "sewer system", and if not treated properly can accumulate toxic
poisons, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. This in turn can
cause many diseases.
Kidney cleansing
Now let's turn to kidney cleansing. Did you know that your chances of
developing a kidney stone in your lifetime are 1 in 10? More than 300,000
people in the U.S. suffer from renal failure each year and undergo dialysis or
await a kidney transplant.
Your kidneys are 2 bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist.
Although the kidneys are small organs by weight, they receive a huge amount -
about 20% - of the blood pumped by the heart. Every day, your kidneys
process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products
and extra water.
The actual filtering occurs in tiny units inside your kidneys called 'nephrons'.
Every kidney has about a million nephrons. In the nephron, a glomerulus--
which is a tiny blood vessel, or capillary--intertwines with a tiny urine-
collecting tube called a tubule. A complicated chemical exchange takes place,
as waste materials and water leave your blood and enter your urinary system.
The large blood supply to your kidneys enables them to do the following tasks:
Regulate the composition of your blood
Your kidneys receive the blood, they process the blood by removing the wastes
and then return the processed blood to the body and the unwanted substances
end up in the urine. Urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters into the
bladder. In the bladder, the urine is stored until it is excreted from the body
through the urethra.
Before ending this page, I want to put in a good word for Transcendental
Meditation. TM has helped me a lot in my life. I encourage you to visit the
official website of the most well-researched of all meditation techniques.
