Salmonella and Shigella

Salmonella and Shigella

Some Salmonella infections can bring dizziness to your elderly
person. Dizziness is another plague of the elderly, keeping
them from going shopping, getting to church and even from getting
around their own homes. Drugs such as AntivertTM are

given but only take the edge off the problem. Feeling dizzy can
make your loved one home bound and stuck to a walker for every
move.
Salmonellas, along with Shigellas, produce very toxic substances
that cause dizziness. There are three common Salmonella
varieties: Salmonella enteriditis, Salmonella paratyphi, and
Salmonella typhimurium (386, 380, 354 KHz). Kill Salmonellas
daily for a month by taking Lugol’s iodine (6 drops in a half cup
water, after meals and bedtime, see Recipes). Unfortunately, this
will not kill Shigellas; follow the Bowel Program (page 546) to
get them.
During this time set up a system of sterilizing all dairy
products (see Milk, page 425) since this is the source of reinfection.
Set up a system of rinsing fingers (and fingernails) in
10% grain alcohol in the bathroom. Deli food and restaurant
salads carry Salmonellas and Shigellas, too. Kill them, routinely,
after eating such food due to necessity. A warm stomach
full of food at a neutral pH is just the right culture condition for
these bacteria. It's like putting yeast into a bowl of warm water,
flour and sugar. In half an hour it is overflowing with growth.
Once Salmonella is entrenched in an organ it is difficult to
eliminate. Only an electric zapper can kill them all (in an organ,
not the bowel). If your body has the right conditions (like a low
acid stomach) to let them grow you dare not swallow another
one! Shigellas arrive with dairy foods, too, but prefer the lower
intestine as their headquarters. Indigestion that starts right after
eating is probably due to Salmonellas. If your indigestion comes
in the night, this suggests Shigellas, since they've had time to
reach their favorite place further down.
Campylobacter and E. coli, other digestive bacteria, are
sometimes the culprits. The Bowel Program is effective against
these also. Besides getting digestive improvement you get mental
improvement, less depression, less dizziness, less irritability
after clearing these up. Remember that eating bacteria and

killing them later will not solve the problem. Stopping eating
them will.
Other Clues
Digestion problems that remain after eliminating bacteria can
be diagnosed in a rational way. Ask these questions:
• Is the stool orangish-yellow, or very pale, instead of
greenish brown? If so, bile isn't getting delivered to the
small intestine from the liver.
• Is there abdominal pain? (More about this on page 97). It
may be due to Ascaris, flukes, or other parasites.
• Is there constipation? This will let wastes accumulate, all
the longer for bacteria to thrive on them.
• Is there bloating? This is due to gas made by bacteria.
• Does the stool float? If so, it must be lighter than water and
contain fat or a great deal of undigested material.
