Simplest remedy for diarrhea.

Entamoeba histolitica

Dr Abe V Rotor

Every year diarrhea claims the lives of 3 million people, with nearly 2 million of them children under five years old.

Yet a simple and inexpensive treatment can prevent many of those deaths.

Here is a simple formula for oral rehydration: fistful of sugar + a pinch of salt + a jug of water.

This old home remedy is now recognized by the World Health Organization which claims that it has saved some 40 million lives, and hopes to demote diarrhea as the second leading cause of death among children.~

NOTE: Diarrhea (frequent, watery bowel movements) can be caused by viruses, bacteria and parasites. Foods that are hard to digest (such as too many sweets) and undercooked (still partially raw) meat or fish can also cause vomiting and diarrhea. Vomiting and diarrhea can be harmful because they can cause dehydration, which is loss of too much fluid. Young children are most vulnerable to dehydration.

Here are signs of dehydration:

• Babies show thirst by crying, being irritable and eager to drink when something is offered
• Urine is little, darker than usual. Or it could be the opposite, frequent urination
• Sleepiness. Or it can be irritability, not eating as well, dry mouth, no tears when crying
• If prolonged, diarrhea leads to weight loss.

Old folks have a way of knowing babies who are younger than eighteen months old if they are suffering of dehydration. They have sunken soft spots on the top of their heads (bumbunan or kuppu-kuppo Ilk), and their skin has lost its shine and springy elastic character. ~
