Food Poisoning

What is Food Poisoning?

Every year, more than 2 million Americans report illnesses that can be traced to foods they have eaten. The actual number of food poisoning cases is probably much higher, however, because people often mistake the symptoms for those of stomach flu.

Food poisoning is more serious than you may think. As many as 9000 deaths occur annually from all types of food poisoning. What's more, many cases lead to chronic health disorders.

There are many types of food poisoning, depending on the agent that caused it. Symptoms vary, but the most common are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and abdominal pain. There are a number of reasons why food poisoning occurs: Animals raised in confined quarters are susceptible to bacterial infection; food processing is more centralized these days, so a single ingredient that is tainted with a contaminant can show up in a plethora of products; imported food often comes from countries with poor hygiene in food production; many Americans are simply unaware of how to properly prepare food in their own kitchens. The fact is, many cases of food poisoning are preventable. Let's see what helps in preventing and treating this disorder in Food Poisoning diet.

Food Poisoning Herbal remedies

• Lobelia enemas can rid the body of poison. Add a dropperful of alcohol-free goldenseal to the enema for added strength.

•  Goldenseal is a natural antibiotic that destroys bacteria in the colon. At the first sign of food poisoning, take a dropperful of alcohol-free goldenseal extract. Repeat every 4 hours for 24 hours.

Dosages may vary, depending on the duration and severity of your symptoms. Consult a qualified herbal practitioner, and talk to your doctor before beginning herbal remedies. Some remedies cannot be used in combination with conventional pharmaceuticals.

What makes Food Poisoning worse?

•  Improper home-canning techniques are responsible for over 90% of cases of botulism in America. Recommendation: Avoid home-canned meats, fruits, and vegetables unless they have been prepared in a pressure cooker. The old "stovetop" method of home canning is NOT a reliable way to seal jar lids.
