suffering from amoebiasis since two years

i have been suffering from the above chronic disease since 2 years now..
initially i was prescribed Bestozyme syrup by a doctor...but didn help...
then i was advised to consult a homoepath..he prescribed aloes for me..this was around a year and half back...aloes helped a lot..but it didn root the so called 'entamoeba hystolitica' completely from my system.
i have no access to 'home food' since i am away from home and that is aggravating my situation.nowadays its become unbearable.
My symptoms are:
1.watery stools at times with mucous.
2.low-grade fever.
3.weakness with eyes-burn.
4.my tongue is coated 24 hrs wit bad breath.
5.i feel hungry but not able to eat.
6.have been on juice and buiscuits since a week now.

Sandesb!

you didn't indicate whether you have taken any anti-amoebic drugs or not? if you have taken the medicines, have you taken care to complete the course?

If you take food from hotels, it will be difficult to eliminate amoeba completly. i presume you live in india. if so, try to find some home based hotels. Strictly avoid taking raw water. drink only boiled and cooled water. when you take food in hotels, insist for banana leaf instead of plates. you must first set right everything before taking any medicines. if the amoeba gets resistant, then it will be difficult to manage. arrow-root powder will be available in all medical stores. boil a teaspoonful with a glass of water, allow it to cool and drink often (if you are not diabetic). avoid spicy items completely.
how do you know it is amoebic?
do you have pain in the stomach?
do you find any blood in stools?
how old are you?
male or female?
how long you are taking food from outside?
why don't you cook yourself? Are you studying or working?

Hi Sandesb!

I've suffered myself of this dreadful amoeba. I took lot of anti-amoebic drugs on prescription from allopathy physicians. I was taking food from hotels. I got frustrated as the amoeba got resistant and a specialist doctor said i have no other go but to live with it. I tried herbal medicines also in the middle. But nothing happened. Then I switched over to homeopathy. First I took medicines from a homeopathy doctor. But, he won't reveal what he is giving to me. Also, he used to mix many homeo medicines. He said it is his way of practice. In the meantime I started studying homeopathy myself. Also, I took utmost care not to drink any water from out side. If I feel thirsty, I prefer bottled drinks, though it cost me a lot. Also, started to avoid taking food from unhygenic hotels. That helped me a lot first to manage the infection. Then with the help of homeopathy I have eliminated the problem. And, nowadays I cook myself if need be rather than taking food from hotels.

Since, you are a hosteler, it will be difficult for you. I suggest you the below mentioned measures.
1. always drink only boiled and cooled water
2. Never take food from unhygenic hotels.
2. Also, juices, buttermilk etc are prepared from raw water. You have to avoid that also. Ensure that you take only well cooked food.

The above three will help you to avoid aggravation/recurrence.

Take the powder of the herb Phyllanthus niruri/amarus/fraternus (jar-amla?)half teaspoon at early morning in empty stomach with water which is a good liver tonic. It will antidote any possible effect of amoeba on liver. This you can get from any herbal medicine shop.

Keep the herbal diasyn tablets (Himalayan drug)on hand to control dysentry on SOS.

You must ensure all the above before taking homeopathy medicines. It takes time to get rid of it. If not it will recur again and again.

where do you live in India?
 
muruganrsa last decade
i live in bangalore...
ur post is really enlightening...
but did u mean i should take these herbs before consulting a good homeopath...is it a prerequisite?
will i get those herbs in ayurvedic medical shops?
 
sandesb last decade
the suggested measures are to effectively manage your problem. Its not a prerequisite. You can very well consult a homeopath.

diasyn - you can get from any medical store. Just one tablet per dose is enough to control dysentry. Its a herbal one and we have been using this at home for many years.

Phyllanthus amarus- 'jar amla' in hindi, 'keelanelli' in tamil, 'nelanelli' in kannada -you can get from herbal medicine shops. This will tone up your liver. You must have taken this when you are down with jaundice. It is available in tablet form as Liv52. If you don't get the powder in Bangalore, just write to Mahatma Gandhi Herbal Medicine Powder, Chellampalayam, Karapadi(PO)-638 459, P. Puliampatti via, Erode district, Tamilnadu (tel.: 04295-269047)and ask for 'Keelanelli powder'.

thats cool..atleast u have instilled a confidence in me that i can overcome this irritating disease..tomo itself i will buy those medicines and revert back in couple of days..thanks
 
sandesb last decade
sure sandesb...you can overcome this amoeba...use the suggested measures and remedies first and stabilize yourself...have the confidence...then i will suggest you the homeo remedy. cheers young man..
 
muruganrsa last decade
your symptoms call for MERC SOL 200C three to four times a day for quite some days, till the stool becomes normal.

this problem recurrs if the water you take is contaminated and your liver is not able to destroy the germs. you need to take some liver tonics or homoeopathic remedies to ensure that this doesnt recurr.

sandesb...diasyn is a Dechane company product and not Himalayan as mentioned earlier...sorry for the mess-up.
 
muruganrsa last decade
hi muruganrsa,
i purchased Liv 52 tabs that u mentioned..how often i should take it??? i also succeeded in getting diasyn.yeah its a dechane product.
i didn take diasyn as my motion is under control most times,and i dont suffere from loose motions as such but slack unsatisfactory stools.often in the morning i feel a pain in the stomach and then urge for motion.the pain subsides thereafter...
i have also obsereved that offlate i feel very thirsty during the day and consume more than 2 ltrs of water a day.

sandesb
Liv 52 - you can take 1 tablet per day as it will tone up your liver function and as well detoxify.

Take diasyn tablet one/dose three times a day after food. Continue for 5 days. This will most probably solve your problem. It is harmless.

plz note that you should be careful with drinking water. otherwise, the problem will recur again. Also, avoid spicy foods.

You can take homeopathy medicines later as you have to stop all other medicines.

have a nice week

Hi,
Have been taking liv 52 for almost 3 months now..my stomach has some what stabilized...however, now i am suffering from increased intestinal gas..my lower abdomen is in pain specially on the sides..
 
sandesb last decade
my bowel movement has improved but not consistent...the stools are dark in color.often i feel a rumbling sensation and then and urge for motion
 
sandesb last decade
glad to know that you are progressing. you need not continue Liv52. stop it. Try to get Ipecacuanha 30c from the homeopathy store and take one dose of 4 globules every night before bed. Report progress after a week. Please note I am not a homeopath and suggesting this based on my own experience. I got rid of this nasty amoeba through this systematic approach. Also, ensure that you don't drink any raw water.
 
muruganrsa last decade
Dear Sandesb,

The fact that Liv52 has helped with your amoebiasis indicates the involvement of liver.Black stools as a concomitant symptom indicates a remedy called Leptandra.I suggest you take Leptandra 6X, 2 globules 3 times a day for 15 days and then report.

hi murugansra,
i will get that ipecacuanha 30c by this weekend...just wanted to know is this flatulence/gas normal symtom during amoebiasis...i often keep burping/belching..also my stools are no more watery but they are now slacky and inconsistent.i have stopped raw water.now consuming only bottled water.also have quit spicy food.and i forgot to mention that i am a non-vegetarian,however stopped completely ever since this enta amoeba has invaded me):
i hope IPECACUANHA 30c doesn have any side effects.
please respond
 
sandesb last decade
Sandesb!
Your symptoms are related to amoebic problem. Until you have that amoeba, it will be a problem. You can take IPECACUANHA 30c one dose (4 globules) daily before bed. You will have no problem with this dosage. Avoid spicy foods and raw water. Report back the progress.
 
muruganrsa last decade
Hi Muruganrsa,
I got ipecac 30c yesterday.I understand that i need to take one dose(4 globs) daily before going to bed.
My queries are 1.for how many days i should take? 2.before dinner or after dinner?
 
sandesb last decade
It should be taken after dinner before bed. Don't use tooth paste in the night. Take for one week and inform progress.
 
muruganrsa last decade
Dear Sandesb.

The most effective way to remove the condition is to obtain a potency of the offending contagion, and take this three times on one day.

If this is impossible, and you know how, you may instead potentize a tiny amount of your own sterilised stool.

You should also follow the advice given by others above to prevent any future incidents of this nature while travelling.

Good luck.


-Jacob.

Did you get any vaccinations done in the recent past?? Or in the two year period.
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
Hi Muruganrsa,
I began taking IPECAC 30c 1 dose (4 globs) evryday since last monday (13th of NOV).
Since Tuesday morning the symptoms have changed from slacky stools to watery stools.Note:I was passing watery stools,during the initial days of infection.Discomfort is more till noon and then it stabilises.Apetite is low in the morning and gradually increases as the day progresses.Have loads of gas accumulated in my stomach and this makes be burp regularly.My stomach is bloated and takes a baloon kind of a shape.I feel very sleepy the whole day and lack zeal to work.feel heaviness in the head.
i am afraid that most of the above sypmtoms are reminiscent of my initial days of the disease.Do i continue with IPECAC 30c or do i stop???are these symptoms normal while taking IPECAC30c.I am asking this because i dont know the systematic way the medicine works..just too curious abt this nasty amoeba!!
Please guide me muruganrsa

PANKAJ,
I have not got any vaccinations done during the recent past nor during the 1 year period.suffered from jaundice for 2 weeks (2.5yrs back)thats all.Overall have been a very fit guy.Yes, i am a gourmet!!I feel the problem is with my intestine and not with the stomach per se....saying this just by feeling and not by knowledge:)
