How To Quickly Remedy Food Poisoning

Written by Thomas Corriher Friday, 21 May 2010 23:40

Those who eat at restaurants (especially fast food) on a regular basis are sure to experience food poisoning occasionally.  Its symptoms can appear within 3 to 4 hours.  They include diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, and fever.  These symptoms can be much more extreme with food poisoning than they are from other sicknesses .  An individual will typically suffer with food poisoning for 24 to 36 grueling hours.

Staphylococcus aureus is a very common food poisoning bacteria.  It is killed by normal cooking, but it is frequently found in hand-made products that are left at room temperature for a long time, such as potato salad and sandwich spread.  Salmonella is the most infamous food poisoning agent, but it is easily destroyed in temperatures above 150°F.  Botulism toxins are caused by the clostridium botulinum.  It is relatively rare, and only responsible for 1 in 400 cases of food poisoning, but it is more likely to result in death.  Cl. botulinum can exist as a heat-resistant spore, and may grow to produce a neurotoxin in under-heated, home-canned foods.  Incredibly, botulinum therapy ("Botox") is an FDA-approved medicine, which is used to temporarily eradicate troublesome wrinkles (by paralyzing the face), and supposedly treat neurological disorders.  The presence of listeria in meats has resulted in a large portion of meat recalls in recent years.  It breeds in the unhygienic conditions of factory farms.  It causes flu-like symptoms, and has the unusual trait of becoming contagious in an infected individual.  It can be deadly to children and those with weakened immune systems.

Pepto-Bismol is a popular option for symptom relief; but ironically, it is itself one of the most poisonous over the counter medications available.  Along with being radioactive, the inactive ingredients range from saccharin to benzoic acid (a benzene derivative), to magnesium aluminum silicate.  Therefore Pepto-Bismol will actually contribute to long-term sickness.

There are natural options that greatly reduce the recovery time, and they come with no dangerous side-effects.

• Ginger - Even some pharmacists will recommend this "unscientific" (non-toxic) herbal option for nausea and vomiting.  For faster absorption, it can be held in the mouth and allowed to sink through the tissues straight into the blood stream.  You can purchase ginger pills from health food stores cheaply.  We have previously written an article about how the media and medical establishment expressed shock when ginger was successfully used to eliminate nausea in chemotherapy patients.  Be assured, it is very effective.

• Activated Charcoal - Having astounding properties, activated charcoal is able to remove the majority of toxins, from Prozac to arsenic.  It is the world's best general purpose filtering agent.  It's all natural (made from burning coconut shells).  It has been a staple of poison control centers since their birth.  It will stop an individual from absorbing his food, too.  Thus, it can stop a case of food poisoning from progressing.  See our activated charcoal article for more information about its unique qualities.  Remember to never use charcoal briquettes, like those that are used for cooking. Activated charcoal is an essential first aid item, so every family should have some ground to powder and stored in an air tight container, in case of a poison emergency.
  

• Colloidal Silver - If your food poisoning was caused by a bacterium (which it almost certainly was), then colloidal silver will kill it.  Some people who can their own food add colloidal silver as a natural and non-toxic preservative.

• Cannabis ("Marijuana") - It has been made illegal in many countries, in order to control the public.  Cannabis has a vast array of medicinal uses, and is the most beneficial plant known to mankind.  One of its properties is the incredibly effective suppression of nausea.  It is especially useful whenever a person is too sick to hold-down oral medications.  Some studies have demonstrated that it is more effective than pharmaceuticals that are designed to reduce nausea.  Contrary to the propaganda, it has no known long term side effects, and it is safer than aspirin.

These items should be kept available in preparation, because food poisoning is never planned.  It happens suddenly, and leaves no opportunity for its victims to go shopping.  Colloidal silver and powdered activated charcoal take the most time to procure, but they are essential for ending the crisis fast.  We ended a case of severe food poisoning for a family member within a matter of hours, and we feel like that must be close to a world record.  The tools are available for you to do the same for your own family.  Again, it is important for all of us to keep powdered activated charcoal handy and ready beforehand as an anti-poison.  You will not have time to get and powder it in an emergency, regardless of whether you were poisoned by a snake bite, brown recluse spider bite, or food poisoning.  Be prepared, because these things are not a matter of if they happen, but of when they happen.  Please reference the brief article about making powdered activated charcoal (activated carbon) for the sake of safety in its use and manufacture.  Be sure to procure the colloidal silver beforehand, as well.

It is very likely that the victim will lose the colloidal silver and the charcoal through vomiting, at least during the first attempt to use them.  Work to control the nausea, and then try again later.  Be advised that almost every over the counter and prescription drug will be completely neutralized by the carbon, so it is pointless to use them in tandem with it.
