Several different types of bacteria exist in the body to maintain the effective function and health of the body. E. coli or Escherichia coli line in the intestines of healthy individuals. Typical strains of E. coli are harmless and cause few symptoms but slight diarrhea; however, more intense strains, including E. coli O157:H7 can cause more severe health concerns including abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea and intense vomiting.

Generally, symptoms associated with E. coli infection occur three to four days following exposure to the bacteria; however, an individual may become ill as soon as one day or as late as a week afterward. Typical symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain and tenderness, nausea and vomiting. Depending on the severity of the infection, diarrhea may range in intensity from mild and water to more sever and even bloody in extreme cases.

Intestinal illness is one of the many diseases caused by bacteria, yet only a few strains of E. coli actually cause illness. One of the most commonly contracted forms is O157:H7, which produces a powerful toxin that attacks the lining of the small intestine. Contamination is often caused by contaminated food including ground beef, unpasteurized milk, fresh produce and restaurant meals. Likewise, contaminated water and personal contact with an infected individual are other pathways of infection.

Generally, illness caused by E. coli must simply “run its course.” However, many natural treatments can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of illness. Apple cider vinegar, turmeric and blackstrap molasses help boost the immune system and eradicate toxins. Likewise, garlic and ginger support overall immune health. Cranberry juice, pink bismuth, grapefruit seed extract, colloidal silver and DMSO also work to eliminate toxins and support nutrition. Cleansing the system using a mixture of thyme oil and oregano oil also shortens the lifespan of illness.

Colloidal Silver and Garlic for Spinal E. Coli

I want to share a story with EC readers. Recently my aunt called me about a friend of hers that had got an infection in his spine in his lower back from E coli after eating contaminated lettuce. It affected him so bad he had to be life-flighted to the big city hospital twice. Put on anti-biotic IV many times and nothing worked so now he was at home suffering and the doctors told him there was nothing else they can do for him. They said the infection was to deeply entrenched into the tissue that the anti-biotic's could not reach the place of infection.

So, when my aunt asked if there was something he could do, I said “sure” but will he do it? No matter how stupidly simple it sounds? She said, he is desperate to try anything.

So here is what I made for him.

Colloidal Silver 10ppm in a 17oz bottle. Drink 1oz in 3oz clean water 3x/daily.

Garlic Salve in a small 2oz tin. Apply this to the skin over the area of the infection 2x/daily.

7 days had past and I got a call from my aunt again. She had just spoke with her friend and he said he is in no more pain. It's like it never happened.
