Hi QB

Here is more information including how to heal it.

Definition
Dysentery is an infection of the intestines caused by either a group of bacteria called shigella (this type of dysentery is called shigellosis) or by protozoan (single-celled) parasites called Entamoeba (this is called amebic dysentery).

Types and Symptoms
Shigellosis: includes sudden, watery diarrhea. Sometimes bacterial contamination of the blood (toxemia) can also occur. Severe cases of shigellosis may lead to bacteremic shock or cardiovascular collapse.

Amebic dysentery: the development of diarrhea is more gradual, and diarrhea can be mixed with blood, pus, and mucus. Another symptom is straining bowel movements that produce only scarce amounts of blood-stained, watery mucus. Dehydration may occur and fluids must be replenished in the body. Possible complications of amebic dysentery include amebic cysts in liver, brain, and other important organs.
Also see Parasites.

Cause
The two most common causes of dysentery are infection with a bacillus of the Shigella group, and infestation by an ameba, Entamoeba histolytica. Both Shingellosis and Amebic dysentery are spread by fecal contamination of food and water and are most common where sanitation is poor. Risk of Amebic dysentery is greater in regions where human excrement is used as fertilizer. Most common in the tropics, but may occur in any climate.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Chamomile, black pepper, cypress, eucalyptus, lemon, and Melissa are all effective essential oils that can be used to stem attacks of dysentery.

Diet: Eat a clove of garlic each morning and evening, followed by hot tea with lemon (unsugared). Also eat lots of plain, organic yogurt. Avoid sugars of any kind, as well as alcohol during attacks and for at least a week after symptoms abate, as both bacteria and parasites feed on sugar and alcohol.

Flower Essences: Take Rescue Remedy® for the accompanying stress, and Olive for exhaustion caused by dysentery.

Herbs: Use a decoction of oak bark to reduce the diarrhea and fluid loss. Drink an infusion of meadowsweet and chamomile to ease abdominal discomfort. Eat a clove of raw garlic morning and evening.

Nutritional Supplementation: During and for 4-6 weeks after episodes of dysentery, be sure to supplement with acidophilus, bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus bulgaricus to restore healthy bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract. Citrus seed extract should also be taken during this time, to kill off any residual bacteria or parasites that might still be present. Vitamin A in therapeutic doses for the first five day, followed by maintenance doses, should also be taken, to boost your overall immunity.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of dysentery: Acupuncture, Applied Kinesiology, Detoxification Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy. Naturopathic Medicine, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (ozone colonics) and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Best of health to you
