Amoebiasis is an infection in the bowel, particularly the colon, characterized by diarrhea. This infection can be fatal in infant and to older people with low resistance. The main risk is due to dehydration from the loss of fluid.

Symptoms of Amoebiasis :

• Abdominal pain with an urge to go to the bathroom frequently.
• Fever and diarrhea which frequently accompanied with blood and/or mucous discharge.
• Sometimes diarrhea alternates with bouts of constipation, with one occurring for several days, followed by the other.
• When diarrhea becomes yellow containing neither mucous nor blood but is foamy, this is known as Giardia, an illness brought on by different type of microscopic parasite. When you have fever and bloody diarrhea, the infection is not caused by amoebas, but by bacteria and it is called Shigella.

Causes of Amoebiasis :

• Both the bacterial and amoebic form of dysentery are usually spread by food or water that is contaminated with fecal matter of infected individual.
• Tropical climate favors the spread of disease because of the abundance of insects that act as carriers of the disease causing organisms.

Recommended Treatment for Amoebiasis :

• Take generous amount of Garlic and Bee propolis for 10 to 15 days, or more if necessary. Garlic and Bee propolis are both potent natural antibiotic.
• Drink lots of fluid or hydrating liquid.

If you suffer from Shigella and other bacterial infections, the same treatment is recommended.

Sometimes amoebas can pass into the liver and cause hepatic abscesses(forming pockets of pus), which manifest themselves through pain on the right side of the stomach or chest. It also causes pain when walking. Consult your doctor.
