"Tiny Dose of Ipecac Calms Queasiness I pecac syrup has been swallowed to induce vomiting for ages. But according to homeopathic principles, a minute dose of something that causes your symptoms may cure them. That's why ipecacuanha, a tiny dose of the toxic ipecac root, will soothe an unsettled stomach and morning sickness. According to homeopaths, ipecacuanha is very effective for women who suffer from severe nausea and vomiting. Take a 30C or 60C tablet every hour as symptoms persist. You may take up to four doses. Be sure your stomach is empty before dissolving the pill in your mouth." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Rotaviruses cause vomiting and diarrhea. The virus infects the villi, which are small, finger-like projections on the small intestine. Rotavirus causes a change in the villi structure that results in diarrhea. It is the most common cause of severe diarrhea in children, killing about 600,000 children every year in developing countries. The incubation period ranges from one to three days. Symptoms often start with vomiting followed by four to eight days of diarrhea. Recovery is usually complete; however, severe diarrhea without fluid and electrolyte replacement may result in death." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In studies, feverfew users seem to have milder headaches, fewer headaches, and less vomiting and nausea (though the herb doesn't necessarily shorten the length of time each headache lasts). Using feverfew together with another herb, white willow bark, also reduces the frequency, intensity, and duration of migraine attacks, by up to 60 percent. Vitamin B6, Magnesium, and Evening Primrose Oil A Natural Cure for PMS LET ME BE perfectly honest." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.) "The Physicians Desk Reference for Nutritional Supplements lists nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, coma, and death, if you really want to know.) These side effects are not—repeat not— associated with the over-the-counter homeopathic arnica remedies you can buy in the store, and are certainly not associated with the topical application of arnica. The Physicians Desk Reference for Herbal Medicines says that when applied topically, arnica preparations have demonstrated "wound healing, antiseptic, and mild analgesic properties." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"The body brings on nausea as an attempt to eliminate the toxins through vomiting and perhaps diarrhea, or at least, to signal that it wants us to fast, that is, abstain from eating until it has re-established digestive equilibrium.

The whole intent is to conserve energy, so that it can be directed to healing." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"My three siblings and I were all a year apart, and illnesses flew through our house with such vengeance that my mother says there was once a stretch of forty days during which there was always someone vomiting or feverish. Most of the time we were pretty hearty and spent every day in the summer or on weekends mucking about in the swamp to one side of our house, the woods behind us, or swimming or sailing or water-skiing like river rats in the less-than-pristine Chesapeake Bay." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "In 2001, and again in 2005, after having had a seemingly innocuous bout of vomiting, I developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, or GBS, and became paralyzed as my immune system systematically damaged the myelin sheaths that coated my nerves, the same sheaths that are injured in multiple sclerosis. Once again my immune fighter cells were flubbing up, making similar molecular mistakes—each time with more disturbing consequences. Yet something puzzled me. Although a virus had triggered each of my autoimmune episodes, I knew that viruses had to be only part of the story." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"No autopsy was ever performed, but because of the vomiting and bleeding, which are not associated with heart disease, I suspect he died of Mallory-Weiss syndrome, in which a gastric artery is eroded by acid and retching.

At the time of his death, he was living in a facility where he couldn't eat safely, and little by little, his health deteriorated." - Caldwell B.

"As Josie's vomiting and diarrhea tapered off over the next two days, King noticed that her daughter seemed perpetually thirsty. The child whimpered or screamed as she reached for a cup or soda can if anyone nearby was drinking.
