Treat Typhoid Fever Naturally

I wish that I could rely on my doctor to make sure that I have all the medications I might need while traveling in developing countries, but I can’t. Even if my doctor prescribes medications to deal with something like typhoid fever, for example, it’s possible that the prescription will kill me if the disease doesn’t kill me first. Prescription medications aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, unfortunately and patients need to beware of that fact and read all of the fine print.

Though there are situations warranting the use of pharmaceutical drugs (most of these situations are emergency situations), the fact is, the more people use these pharmaceutical medications, the more resistant bacteria become to them. Pharmaceutical companies are in a race to keep up with this problem, but they’re also in a race to keep the public under-informed about the value of herbal or alternative medications when treating or preventing certain diseases like typhoid.

UPDATE 2022: The most important medicine that I would use use as a cure for typhoid fever and other infectious diseases a person can catch while traveling abroad is Chlorine Dioxide Solution, the reactive oxygen species medicine that also functions as a powerful cure for cancer. Read more about Chlorine Dioxide Solution as a cure for typhoid fever here.

Typhoid fever or enteric fever (also known as Salmonella) is a disease that’s common throughout the world. It occurs when someone ingests food or water that’s been contaminated with the feces of a person infected with Salmonella typhi. With the use of sanitation techniques, Typhoid fever has become less prevalent but in countries like India, people are 18 times more likely to contract the disease. For travelers to India, preventing Typhoid is extremely important. Typhoid fever can totally ruin a vacation.

Of course, Salmonella can also ruin people's lives in the United States and other developed countries as well. If you catch Salmonella, as I did once at the Cracker Barrel in Nebraska, you'll probably experience the evacuation of all contents of the digestive system from both ends as I did.

There is an oral typhoid vaccine available but the vaccine doesn’t always work. Only about 50% to 80% of the people who receive the vaccine are protected. So even though my husband, my daughter, and I have all been vaccinated, the odds are decent that if we eat something contaminated with Salmonella typhi that one of us will end up getting sick anyway. Thus, I’ve been compelled to look up ways to prevent Typhoid fever using herbs despite the vaccine.

UPDATE 2022: Though I actively sought out vaccines for travel abroad back in 2013 before I understood issue like autism and vaccine injury, I wouldn't waste my money on something like the typhoid fever vaccine now. I also wouldn't subject myself or my family to the risks of vaccination especially because Chlorine Dioxide Solution / Miracle Mineral Supplement works so well as a cure for Salmonella / typhoid fever and other infectious diseases. 

When traveling to developing countries, taking 3 drops of grapefruit seed extract per day doesn’t hurt anything (as long as the grapefruit extract in question does not contain triclosan or other toxins, that is) and may be able to prevent the development of typhoid fever. Seek out a Grapefruit Seed Extract that does not contain triclosan or other toxic chemicals! Carrying grapefruit seed extract is an alternative to using Chlorine Dioxide Solution / Miracle Mineral Supplement for those who aren't willing to go through the learning process regarding how to use CDS /MMS. Grapefruit Seed Extract is easy and a little goes a long way. Some people claim that a dose of 3 to 15 drops of grapefruit seed extract can help prevent the onset of a stomach upset if they feel something coming on. The extract is bitter and bitter things have a tonic effect on the digestive system. It’s worth a try if you have grapefruit seed extract available overseas.

Though I used to always carry antibiotics to treat our family if someone falls ill, I also carried Artemesia annua or sweet wormwood because this herb has a variety of uses in a pinch. Some sources recommend using it at the first sign of malaria or dengue. If you’re not sure what’s causing a digestive upset that involves vomiting and diarrhea, choose either grapefruit seed extract or wormwood as a treatment ( I wouldn’t use both at the same time because they can cancel each other out).

As long as patients are kept hydrated, they won’t usually die from typhoid, but they might wish they were dead if they don’t receive treatment within a reasonable period of time.  If left untreated, typhoid can last for up to a month and the case fatality rate rises from 1% to 30% the longer the disease goes untreated. Fluoroquinolones are typically used to treat the disease pharmaceutically. Ciprofloxacin or third generation cephalosporins such as ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, or cefixime are generally the most effective, however trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) or amoxicillin may also be used. I would not recommend using these antibiotics, however because they destroy essential gut flora which can lead to vitamin K2 and iodine deficiencies.

Remember, there are a variety of illnesses that can cause a high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea  It’s usually best NOT to try to stop the process of purging once it starts. This is your body’s way of trying to eliminate the offending organism or pathogen. But, if you’re traveling or if you're in a situation where you don't have CDS / MMS, grapefruit seed extract, or wormwood available and there is no way to find out what you’ve been infected with, you might try sending for local herbal remedies while you keep yourself hydrated. In the meantime, one of the best anti-diarrhea remedies out there is just simple black tea. And ginger will encourage your stomach contents to empty into your intestines to help slow vomiting.

Note that iodine deficiency and vitamin K2 deficiency can play a role in a patient's susceptibility to salmonella / typhoid fever and salmonella encephalopathy. Iodine is the immunity-nutrient that governs how well our bodies can fight off or prevent infection with salmonella and other microorganisms and most people in the developed world are iodine deficient. Read more about iodine deficiency and immune system function here.

Also note that organophosphate and bromide-insecticide exposure can contribute in a big way to a person's vulnerability to salmonella infection. If you or someone you love has developed typhoid fever and you're looking for a cure for salmonella infection, please consider the use of Chlorine Dioxide Solution, Lugol's iodine therapy, and vitamin K2 supplementation. Lugol's and vitamin K2 work together and both are necessary as supplements to overcome immune system dysfunction, but these two nutrients also protect the body from the bioaccumulation of organophosphates and bromide-containing insectide exposure. Read more about this issue and the Lugol's + vitamin K2 protocol here.

Natural Treatment for Salmonella Encephalopathy

Salmonella encephalopathy is a type of encephalopathy caused by exposure to salmonella (usually due to food poisoning). Salmonella encephalopathy can cause permanent brain damage and nervous system disorders without proper treatment.

A variety of different encephalopathies have been correlated with disorders of the Kyurenine Pathway, which plays a role in metabolizing L-tryptophan into healthy substances that our bodies use to build neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin among other things. Phthalate exposure has been implicated in the development of encephalopathy. In other words, a person who develops food poisoning from salmonella and then goes on to develop salmonella encephalopathy likely has a physiological weakness due to phthalate exposure (or exposure to other chemicals) that causes the person to be predisposed to this serious condition. Phthalate avoidance is essential as a part of salmonella encephalopathy treatment, but the use of chlorine dioxide solution and dimethylsulfoxide (to ensure that the chlorine dioxide is able to reach brain tissues to kill salmonella bacteria) would be a logical starting point for a patient with this health problem.

Read more about the chemistry of chlorine dioxide solution here. Read more here about how to detoxify a patient's life quickly and easily to avoid chemicals like phthalates, which are present in things like sunscreen, cosmetics, and personal care products. Learn more here about the medicinal effects of DMSO.  Also, please read more here about vitamin B17 / amygdalin deficiency as another ubiquitous health issue that leads to brain and nervous system diseases including cancer. Taking vitamin B17 and vitamin K2 along with Lugol's iodine will help strengthen the body's natural defenses while directly targeting the salmonella bacteria with superoxide anion release (among other things).

The B Complex vitamins all contribute to nervous system and brain health. In this article, you can learn more about how to administer vitamin B12 when a patient is not able to absorb nutrients due to gut-related health problems. If you or a loved one is looking for a cure for salmonella encephalitis, consider the application of vitamin B12 topically with DMSO to enhance skin penetration. Read more about the use of vitamin B12 with DMSO as an alternative to taking vitamin B12 internally or via injection. Also, read more about vitamin B12 deficiency and the neurological problems that are caused by it here.
