What can I do for .(CHOLERA)...?

A few hours or days after contracting the disease, it suddenly begins, often with sudden

cramps in the back, legs, or arms.

Often there is severe vomiting. So much fluid is lost that he becomes

extremely thirsty, and the skin becomes dry.

Stools become thin, and contain small, white, curd like masses. Some cases of cholera are very light,
and have few symptoms other than the diarrhoea
What CAUSES it🤔

Cholera occurs especially in hot, tropical climates. Filthy living conditions is generally the primary

factor.

Bowel discharges from those with cholera must be boiled to kill the germs. When this is not

done, the disease spreads.


Flies, cockroaches, ants and mice all carry the disease.

But one cannot get it if he only eats and drinks that which has been boiled.

Water and milk must be

boiled.

Vegetables and fruits must be washed, and then immersed in boiling water for a few seconds,
then peeled.
special now you have the problem ,with cholera around.

Make ice with boiled water. Use this water for daily tasks like brushing and washing the
face.🍒🍍🍓🍎🌽
This is what you're going to do now.* 👂🤔

Keep him or she quiet in bed. Provide fluids to compensate for the vomiting and fever. Diluted

peppermint or spearmint tea is helpful.

Have patient drink a pint, then put your finger down

his throat and help him get it out.

This cleanses the stomach. (If he is too weak, do not do

that.
Then give him a cup of hot peppermint tea to settle the stomach.

• If vomiting of mucus resumes, repeat the process.

• Goldenseal tea is also helpful.


*Give enemas, white oak bark, bayberry bark, and wild cherry.

• *Give hot fomentations over the bowels and the full length of the spine.
All stools and discharges should be burned or disinfected.*

Oral rehydration therapy is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration,
especially that due to diarrhea. It involves drinking water with modest amounts of sugar and salts,
specifically sodium and potassium. Oral rehydration therapy can also be given by a nasogastric tube.

[Oral Rehydration Salts*

Cholera causes diarrhea and dehydration, which leads to loss of water in the body. The patient should
be given oral rehydration salts immediately. It will help in preventing fluid loss. If the condition of
patient is severe, fluids can be given intravenously.

*No one should touch what is

used by the patient.

[09/13, 15:56] Christiana: *No one should touch what is

*Let us see what you can eat at the time*

A diet of oatmeal water or slippery elm water is both nourishing and soothing.

Combine

with some soy milk to provide a

protein.
The use of lemon for example is very popular in reducing the levels of cholera bacilli in the intestines
and digestive system.
*Lemon juice drunk either sweet or salted can help* .

A decoction of the root bark of the guava tree and boiled water should be drunk twice daily to reduce
cholera symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.
Mix equal quantities of coconut water and cucumber juice to relieve excessive thirst and prevent
dehydration.

*Rough chaff* also known as Achyranthes aspera should be mixed with half cup of water and given to
the cholera patient daily.
*Fresh juice of bitter* guard can be given to the patient twice a day during the early stages of infection.
This can be either taken alone or with two teaspoons of white onion juice twice a day for curing the
diseases before they become serious.

Drumstick leaves are a very valuable in the treatment of cholera.*

A concoction prepared by mixing one teaspoon of fresh drumstick leaf juice with half a tablespoon of
honey in, 2 cups of tender coconut water can be taken twice a day for curing cholera at a faster rate.👆🤔

[Drinking a decoction made from basil leaves several times a day is an effective

Cucumber leaves as well as cucumber is used in curing cholera as it can decrease thirst feelings in the
patient.
One glass of fresh cucumber leaf juice with an equal amount of tender coconut water can be given in
doses of 30-60 ml a day for better .

Powdered root of chaff is another important .

Six grams of this powder can be boiled in one litre of water and the prepared solution can be taken once
in a day for curing cholera.

Six grams of this powder can be boiled in one litre of water and the prepared solution can be taken
once in a day for curing cholera.

A solution of 4 heaped teaspoon of honey and half teaspoon of salt in water can be taken several times
a day for reducing fluid loss from the body due to infection.

Taking a glass of nut milk with one teaspoon of cumin seeds added in it is helpful in curing cholera
infection.

This can be given to the patient once in a day for better results.

A bowl of rice water can be given to the patient infection as drinking rice water is best for diarrhea
which is one of the main symptoms of the disease.

Solid food items should be avoided and instead liquid food can be given to the patients. Uncooked
vegetables should be also avoided unless making sure that they are well cleaned and fresh. Lemon juice
and orange juice can be given daily for rapid cure. Onion and mint can be included in the diet in liquid
form.💪🤔

AS the patient’s recovery progresses, with a move from watery diarrhea to a semi solid stool stage, nut
milk can be added to the diet. As he/she recovers, semi-soft boiled rice can be introduced as well. Make
sure that solid foods and uncooked vegetables are avoided completely until there is a complete
recovery. The diet after recovery from cholera should include a glass of warm water with lime and
honey as soon as the patient gets up.
Breakfast can consist of fresh fruits and milk. Play around with variations of steamed vegetables or
salads for lunch and dinner.

Proteins and carbs can come in the form of tofu, and whole wheat tortillas. Fresh fruit juices can be had
as mid morning and evening.

IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION—Secure rest to the stomach and bowels by withholding food. Rest

in bed.

VOMITING—Ice Bag over stomach. Ice pills; Ice Compress to the throat. Fomentation to spine; Ice

Bag to spine; Hot and Cold Trunk Pack.

DIARRHEA—Hot Enema after each bowel movement; Fomentation over abdomen every 2 hours,

duration 20 minutes during interval between Heating Compress at 600 F., renewed every 30 minutes. If

the temperature is above 1020 F., Prolonged Neutral Bath or Hot Blanket Pack followed by Cold Mitten

Friction or Cold Towel Rub.

COLLAPSE—Hot Blanket Pack for 15 minutes, followed by Cold Mitten Friction.

CARDIAC WEAKNESS—Ice Bag over heart.


*This is one of my favourite cure for all disease once you use it in the right way.*

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL:

(Dr. Christopher, who was one of the most renowned Herbologists to live in the 20th century,

said if he had to
,

choose only 2 herbs of all the herbs, he would choose cayenne pepper and ACTIVATED CHARCOAL (and
this

isn't even an herb)

WHAT MEDICINAL PURPOSES IS ACTIVATED CHARCOAL USED FOR?

(See 2 Selected Messages...USE OF REMEDIES pp. 286-291 and Sister White's Personal Experiences Using
Remedies pg. 292-303)

1. “Inflammation of the Bowels and Bloody Dysentery: A Rapid Recovery.--A brother was taken sick with

inflammation of the bowels and bloody dysentery.

I'm not going to put the whole story I'm going to put it in a PDF file

The man was not a careful health reformer, but indulged

his appetite.

We were just preparing to leave Texas, where we had been laboring for several months, and we

had carriages prepared to take away this brother and his family, and several others who were suffering
from

malarial fever.

My husband and I thought we would stand this expense rather than have the heads of several

families die and leave their wives and children unprovided for.” {2SM 299.1}
🙏🤔

Two or three were taken in a large spring wagon on spring mattresses. But this man who was suffering
from

inflammation of the bowels, sent for me to come to him. My husband and I decided that it would not do
to

move him. Fears were entertained that mortification had set in. Then the thought came to me like a

communication from the Lord to take pulverized charcoal, put water upon it, and give this water to the
sick

man to drink, putting bandages of the charcoal over the bowels and stomach. We were about one mile
from

the city of Denison, but the sick man's son went to a blacksmith's shop, secured the charcoal, and
pulverized

it, and then used it according to the directions given. The result was that IN HALF AN HOUR THERE WAS
A

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

We had to go on our journey and leave the family behind, but what was our
surprise the following day to see their wagon overtake us. The sick man was lying in a bed in the wagon.
The

blessing of God had worked with the simple means used.”

Fever: “On one occasion a physician came to me in great distress. He had been called to attend A
YOUNG

WOMAN WHO WAS DANGEROUSLY ILL. SHE HAD CONTRACTED FEVER while on the campground, and
was

taken to our school building near Melbourne, Australia.

But SHE BECAME SO MUCH WORSE THAT IT WAS

FEARED SHE COULD NOT LIVE.

[The physician, Dr. Merritt Kellogg, came to me and said, "Sister White, have

you any light for me on this case? If relief cannot be given our sister, she can live but a few hours." I
replied,

"Send to a blacksmith's shop, and GET SOME PULVERIZED CHARCOAL; MAKE A POULTICE OF IT, AND LAY
IT

OVER HER STOMACH AND SIDES.” The doctor hastened away to follow out my instructions. Soon he
returned,

saying, “RELIEF CAME IN LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE APPLICATION OF THE POULTICES.

She is now

having the first natural sleep she has had for days.” {2SM 295.2}
🙏🤔

Indigestion: “TEACH NURSES AND PATIENTS the

VOMITING:

Adults: Take 2-3 Heaping T. Charcoal in water. Take as needed.

Children: You can try 1 T. with them. Wait till after gag-reflux time to give it to them. This will prevent
them from vomiting it up.

***For children, be sure to put charcoal in a sippy cup that is colored on the outside so they can’t see
the charcoal on the inside…otherwise, they are not going to want to drink it.
Be sure to take 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking medication.🙏🤔🙏🤔

WHAT IS ACTIVATED CHARCOAL?


Activated charcoal is used in water filters, medicines that selectively remove toxins, and chemical
purification

processes. Activated charcoal is carbon that has been treated with oxygen. The treatment results in a
highly

porous charcoal. These tiny holes give the charcoal a surface area of 300-2,000 m2/g, allowing liquids or
gases

to pass through the charcoal and interact with the exposed carbon.

The carbon adsorbs a wide range of impurities and contaminants, including chlorine, odors, and
pigments.

Other substances, like sodium, fluoride, and nitrates, are not as attracted to the carbon and are not
filtered
Out.

Because adsorption works by chemically binding the impurities to the carbon, the active sites in the
charcoal

become filled. Activated charcoal filters become less effective with use and have to be recharged

or replaced. Several factors influence the effectiveness of activated charcoal.

The pore size and distribution

varies depending on the source of the carbon and the manufacturing process. Large organic molecules
are

absorbed better than smaller ones. Adsorption tends to increase as pH and temperature decrease.

Contaminants are also removed more effectively if they are in contact with the activated charcoal for a

longer time, so flow rate through the charcoal affects filtration....

FEVERS:

Charcoal Poultice over the abdomen with HOT COMPRESS ON TOP.

Change compress as needed to keep hot.

Apply cool rag to head. Feverfew Tea works great for fevers as does sucking on lemons...NEVER USE
COLD OR

ICE APPLICATIONS

Be sure to change charcoal poultice every couple of hours


Give plenty of water to drink.

Think of RICE. R = Rest I = Ice C = Compress E = Elevation

“…Teach the people that restorative power is NOT IN DRUGS, but in nature.” {MH 127.1}

with greatest care and for only a few seconds at a time.)

Water purification is now being taken to the sunlight.

Chlorination kills many water-borne diseases, but

the chlorine has certain carcinogenic (cancer-causing) effects. With ultraviolet light. The four most
dangerous water-borne bacterial infections are cholera, typhoid,

bacillary dysentery, and hepatitis. It has been demonstrated that sunlight can kill such bacteria to some

depth, if the flow of water is slow enough so that the ultraviolet radiation can effectively reach them.
I'm so grateful to God for what he has done able to help me to put this lesson together .

I'm really asking you to take it serious, by Faith it can work it's not impossible please, go out and help as
much people as you can. It's only by Faith.🙏🤔

ENCOURAGEMENT—If we will but seek God with all our hearts, if we will work with determined

zeal to be a blessing each day, the light of heaven will shine upon us, even as it shone upon faithful

Enoch.
