[Khanya Zukolwakhe Bisholo]

Salmonellosis is a disease caused by the bacteria Salmonella.

These bacteria are a major cause of food-borne diseases throughout the world (Park et al., 2015). They are widely distributed in nature, with humans and

Animals being their primary reservoirs.

A few of serotypes are host-specific and can reside in only one or few animals, namely:

Salmonella dublin in cattle

Salmonella choleraesuis in pigs.

Salmonella enteritidis and

Salmonella typhimurium are the two most important serotypes of salmonellosis transmitted from animals to humans (Gal-Mor, Boyle & Grassl, 2014).

The majority (80%) of all salmonellosis cases are misdiagnosed or classified as sporadic cases, which wanes surveillance and institutional response to

outbreaks (WHO, 2015).

Addis and Sisay (2015) suggest that there is a need to develop methods to control the contamination by Salmonella of farms by instituting bio-security and

bio-containment practices, in addition to enhanced food production, handling and good storage practices.

The need for the farm to employ stringent food safety systems is emphasized by the findings of a study conducted in the USA which revealed that the

prevalence of faecal Salmonella was lower in certified-organic birdfarms than in conventionally raised birdfarms (Alali et al., 2010).

The bacteria are generally transmitted to humans through consumption of contaminated food of animal origin.

The symptoms of salmonellosis include stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea and fever (Humphries & Linscott, 2015).

The onset of disease symptoms occurs 6 - 72 hours after ingestion of Salmonella.

Treatment for severe cases is symptomatic, electrolyte replacement and rehydration. Routine antimicrobial therapy is not recommended for mild or

moderate cases in healthy individuals, and prevention includes basic food hygiene practices such as cooking food thoroughly, maintaining the cold chain and

practicing personal hygiene (WHO, 2015).

Shares how he treated 100 students suffering from Salmonella from spoiled fish and eggs. Carb-v. Chin. Ars. were among the remedies that were indicated.

One summer Sunday I received a phone call from a friend of a friend of a friend. I was their last resort. Who could they find who might be free on a Sunday

to visit an alternative boys’ residential school in the country just outside London? An epidemic of some sort was occurring there, and no one appeared to be immune.

I collected a large case of homeopathic remedies and headed off for an hour’s drive into nowhere.

Fresh air, please!

My destination turned out to be a Yeshiva for teenage Chasidic Jewish boys (a closed community that tend not to let in even Jewish outsiders), so I received

an unusual inside perspective. The boys were living in cramped dorms and, on that day, very unhygienic conditions. There is no delicate way to describe this:

the boys lay about stinking of their own faeces, looking weak and feeble, and emitting clouds of smelly gas. Some boys were on the grass in the shade. They wanted

fresh air instead of lying in their shared dormitory rooms, and some had even spent the night outside in the open. About 100 boys were affected with this severe

digestive disturbance, which includes diarrhoea and vomiting. Their symptoms immediately led me to consider Carb-v. as a possible remedy.

Arthur Hill Grimmer described it: “Carb-v. is an antidote for many poisoning conditions. Food poisonings from tainted foods (fish);

with extreme burning pains, flatulence, extreme distension, weakness, cold sweats, weakened pulse and blueness, yet craves the air and is relieved by fanning.”

(Homeopathic Recorder, January 1936)

Gefilte fish & egg mayonnaise

In order to make a good prescription, I wanted to be sure that I learned the whole story, so I interviewed some staff and students about what had been going on

before the illness hit. The residents had eaten their usual celebratory Sabbath foods on Friday evening and Saturday. Only on Saturday night had the problems begun.

So what did they have for lunch that day? Food that had been taken from a freezer on Friday afternoon, maybe not properly thawed before cooking +/o. not properly

cooked. The meal included Gefilte fish (a mixture of fish, potato, flour, carrot, and probably egg), and certainly egg mayonnaise. With this information in mind,

I considered some additional possible remedies for the boys. Chin. a prize remedy for food poisoning, loss of bodily fluids, weakness and prostration,

and the after-effects of eating spoiled fish. Arsenicum is a classic for diarrhoea and vomiting (often at the same time) from food poisoning, and restless, anxious,

cold sweats in the early stages of the illness. So, as might be expected, the remedy China arsenicosum shares many of the indications of both China and Arsenicum.

China arsenicosum is indicated for diarrhea from both eggs and fish. With the assistance of MacRepertory™ software, I discovered that China arsenicosum is the

only remedy listed in the Repertory for the symptom of being worse from both fish and eggs. People needing this remedy may also lose control of their bodily

functions. Indeed, Chin-ars.: seemed like a good match for many of these boys’ symptoms, but, unfortunately, I did not have that remedy with me.

The smelliest of the boys, who also craved air, received Carb-v. Those who were still in the early stage of restless anxiety + diarrhea and vomiting were given

Arsenicum. The ones who had lost the most fluid and lay about weakly received China.

Recovery begins

When I visited the school again the next morning, I found that recovery for most of the boys had begun very quickly (who received Carbo veg. Some of those who

had taken China just needed another dose of China to complete their cure. Most of those who had initially received Arsenicum needed China arsenicosum, which

I had brought with me on this second visit. This remedy covers the symptom of involuntary passage of stool while urinating -accounting for some of the smells- and

is also a sign of Salmonella poisoning. It proved very useful, and most boys recovered quickly. Two were sent to the hospital, however, as they were prostrated and

I believed that they had lost too much fluid and I could not be responsible for them. I also reported the problem at the school to the public health authorities.

They investigated and stated that Salmonella was implicated. A few of the boys with the worst cases were then given Gaertner* as their final remedy, a homeopathic

remedy made from the Salmonella bacteria. I believe they recovered fully and quickly.

Moral: Avoid poorly cooked and poorly thawed food in hot weather.* You may have heard of Dr. Edward Bach, known for his flower remedies.

Before he communed with nature, Dr. Bach was a bacteriologist who worked at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital. There, he experimented with homeopathic medicines made from bacteria found in the gut, including the remedy Gaertner. Bach’s remedies later became known as the Bowel Nosodes.
