 "Salmonella, Campylobacter jejuni, and Staphylococcus, which affect poultry, raw meat, untreated milk, and duck and hen eggs are some of the more common types of food poisoning. e coli, found in undercooked meat, untreated milk, and contaminated water, is a slightly rarer cause. Norwalk virus, found in raw shellfish, salads, and contaminated water, is a common viral cause of food poisoning. In more serious cases, the bacteria may enter the lymph tracts, which carry water and protein to the blood, and the blood itself."- Marshall Editions, 1000 Cures for 200 Ailments: Integrated Alternative and Conventional Treatments for the Most Common Illnesses (Get the book.) |
 "Lemongrass oil is rapidly bactericidal against e coli and B subtilis. The antibacterial activity of lemongrass is impacted by pH and inoculum size. Increased pH values to the alkaline region increased antibacterial activity of lemongrass oil (Onawunmi & Ogunlana, 1986).
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: In a study of twenty rats, cara-geenan-induced edema was inhibited by 18.6% in rats receiving oral doses of a 20% lemongrass leaf decoction as compared to 58.6% in the control group of rats receiving indomethacin (Carbajal et al, 1989)."- Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.) "Vibrio cholerae and e coli, cholera and traveler's diarrhea respectively) (Rabbani et al, 1987; Khin-Maung et al, 1985). Antipyretic Effects: Berberine produced an antipyretic effect 3 times as potent as aspirin in a pyretic model in rats (Nishino et al, 1986). However, while aspirin suppresses fever through its action on prostaglandins, berberine appears to lower fever by increasing the immune system's handling of fever-producing compounds from microorganisms." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"Gamma irradiation, on the other hand, controls Salmonella and e coli 0157:H7 on alfalfa sprouts at doses approved for irradiating meat (which are higher than the 1.0 kiloGray dose used for fruits and vegetables) without affecting germination of seeds and constitutes the best preventive measure now available for decontaminating sprouts and other agricultural products (Taormina et al, 1999; Stephenson, 1997). One case of human listeriosis has been linked to consumption of alfalfa tablets (Farber et al, 1990)." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.) |
 "It is used in blunt trauma emergency treatment53 and has been found to be effective against e coli 0157 without causing release of the deadly verotoxin.54" It is also used often in veterinary medicine.
In addition, kanamycin-resistant bacteria may mutate and develop resistance to members of the same family of antibiotics.55 That family (aminoglycoside antibiotics) includes streptomycin, gentamycin, tobramycin, and neomycin, all currendy used on humans.56 The bacteria may also cross-react with the other antibiotics."- Jeffrey M.

Salmonella and e coli contamination of animal products continues to be a serious problem for the food industry. Since proper pasteurization kills these pathogens, most salmonella and e coli contamination of dairy products has been associated with raw milk, cheese, raw eggs, or yogurt containing live cultures.'''"
In fact, at a recent meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, investigators ^presented well-documented case reports of serious gastrointestinal diseases caused by eat-ing live yogurt bacteria.^?

| "Even at low temperatures (20 to 53°Q, microwaving reportedly reduced specific IgA to some e coli serotypes. It also decreased lysozyme and increased growth of e coli to five times that of controls. Microwaving at high temperature (72 to q8°C) was even more desttuctive.154 Once frozen and thawed, breast milk is markedly less resistant to bacterial growth, and should be kept in the refrigerator until used within a day or two, at most.

 "One of the headline studies involved a detection method for the bacteria e coli, an occasional human pathogen. The Kl strain, particularly, is a major cause of enteric/diarrheal diseases, urinary tract infections, and sepsis.
In line with their previous work, the team electronically captured, digitized, and transmitted the specific electromagnetic signal (EMS) of the Kl bacteria to a biological system sensitive to that exact pathogen (or its EMS).
First they digitally recorded the EMS from E. Coli Kl and two other substances as controls: staphylococcus (3.5 million/ml) or saline."- Keith Scott-Mumby, Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing (Get the book.) |
 "Limited clinical trials also show that the alkaloid may serve as a useful non-systemic antibacterial in the treatment, for example, of diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic e coli (Rabbani, 1987). However, berberine and related alkaloids are very poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, so any significant systemic effects such as immune stimulation are precluded (Bergner, 1996-97).
Although the use of goldenseal for any systemic purpose appears to be without scientific merit, the dried rhizome and root are employed in doses of 0.5-1 g three times daily for traveler's diarrhea."- volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel, Rational Phytotherapy: A Reference Guide for Physicians and Pharmacists (Get the book.) |
