there is an analogy which seldom goes wrong. If you have a “chat” on the internet your computer is bound to contract a virus and if you ever have a “chat” or a “pani-puri” at the best of restaurants your gastrointestinal system would be the new host for amoebiasis.

What is amoebiasis?

Amoebiasis is an infection of the small intestine caused by a protozoan called entamoeba histolytica. It occurs in areas where there is a compromise on sanitation and in developing countries. It would be surprising to know that 10% of the world’s population suffers from amoebiasis at some point or the other.

How does it occur?

the psyche of the globe today is to attach the cause of tragedies to terrorism and the cause of diseases to certain organisms carrying them to man. But here the entamoeba histolytica the cause of amoebiasis is spread to one another only through man and without any involvement of any parasite.
the cysts of e. Histolytica are in the faeces and when they are contaminated in water and food spread to the healthy through contaminated hands and food.
amoebiasis like its analogue computer virus can remain in the human body or the large intestine without causing any symptoms but these persons can cause the spread the disease to others and are called carriers.
entamoeba can remain in the bowel or spread to other parts of the body like liver, lungs and brain causing abscesses.

Symptoms of amoebiasis:

* diarrhoea or more number of stools is the main symptom of amoebiasis.
* patient may pass about 10-12 stools during an acute episode.
* the urge for stool would be associated with an urgency.
* even after passing stool there would be a sensation that it is not evacuated completely and may need to go again.
* mucus in the stool is common.
* even with loose stools the patient may have to strain to pass stool.
* sometimes there could be passage of blood on straining.
* flatulence or gas downwards is also troublesome and in some cases foul smelling.
* the other most common symptom is colic or pain abdomen which is worse before stool and is better after passing stool.
* it could be associated with a low-grade fever too.
* whenever one eats out they have a tendency to get into the episode of amoebiasis as it remains latent and whenever the immunity is down tends to spring up causing an attack.

Investigation & diagnosis:

- a routine stool examination would reveal the presence of entamoeba histolytica.
- in advanced cases a colonoscopy would reveal if the bacteria have caused damage in the form of ulcers in the small intestine.

Prevention of amoebiasis:

one should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and running water for atleast ten seconds
# before preparing food
# before eating
# after going to the toilet or changing nappies
# after using a soiled tissue or handkerchief

proper food storage and handling:
# thoroughly cook all raw foods
# thoroughly wash all raw vegetables before eating
# all reheated to food to be consumed after heating upto 75 degrees c.

What can homoeopathy do?

 homoeopathy can immediately control all the symptoms of amoebiasis like diarrhoea, urgency, mucus in the stools and abdominal pain.
 homoeopathy can also see that the entamoeba histolytica remains only as a commensal in the large intestine without progressing to cause its symptoms and prevent further complications like amoebic liver abscesses etc.
 homoeopathy for amoebiasis is as wholesome as one would want.
