Diverticulitis is a common digestive disease particularly found in the large intestine. Diverticulitis develops from diverticulosis, which involves the formation of pouches (diverticula) on the outside of the colon. Diverticulitis results if one of these diverticula becomes inflamed.
Patients often present with the classic triad of left lower quadrant pain, fever, and leukocytosis (an elevation of the white cell count in blood tests). Patients may also complain of nausea or diarrhea; others may be constipated.
Less commonly, an individual with diverticulitis may present with right-sided abdominal pain. This may be due to the less prevalent right-sided diverticula or a very redundant sigmoid colon.
Diverticulitis
The most common symptom of diverticulitis is abdominal pain. The most common sign is tenderness around the left side of the lower abdomen. If infection is the cause, then nausea, vomiting, fever, cramping, and constipation may occur as well. The severity of symptoms depends on the extent of the infection and complications. Diverticulitis may worsen throughout the first day, as it starts as small pains and/or diarrhea, and may slowly turn into vomiting and sharp pains.
Diverticulosis
Most people with diverticulosis do not have any discomfort or symptoms; however, symptoms may include mild cramps, bloating, and constipation. Other diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and stomach ulcers cause similar problems, so these symptoms do not always mean a person has diverticulosis.
Causes of Diverticulitis:
- Drinking Water treated with Fluoride
- Fruit and Vegetable Pesticides
- Alcohol
- Can Preservatives
- Pain Medication
- Chronic Constipation
Top 5 Treatment for Diverticulitis:
Stay away from foods that contain small seeds, including tomatoes and popcorn, and dishes prepared with whole-seed spices such as cumin and sesame. The seeds can lodge in the diverticula and cause inflammation.
Banish red meat from your plate. It was found that the higher the intake of red meat, the greater the risk of diverticular disease. Neither chicken nor fish appears to produce a similar increase in risk.
Drink plenty of water. Fluid makes the contents of the gut moister and lessens the pressure inside the colon, which may be responsible for the formation of diverticula. Try to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
Get moving. The more active you are, the less likely you are to develop diverticular disease. It was found that there is a link between the exercise and diverticular disease. The best results, in terms of reduced risk, were associated with vigorous activities such as sports.
Try tranquility. When it comes to your digestive health, it is not only what you eat but how you eat that is important. Take meals without stress or distraction, never eat while standing up, and observe a moment of silence before eating - say a prayer or just close your eyes for a moment.
Only Known Cure:
A STRICT weekly diet consisting of 4 glasses a day of 1.Aloe Vera Gel, 2.Papaya and 3.Melon - Blend the tree ingredients together with Distilled Water.
AVOID THIS ITEMS DURING YOUR DIET:
No Meets, Food Preservatives, Sodas or Pain Medicines during the diet aka (Healing Time) try not to drink tap water as this may contain the poison Fluoride instead drink distilled water blended together with non acidic vegetables or fruits as a thirst quencher.

NOW YOU'RE GOING TO NEED Natural Antibiotics for your colon
GARLIC
Garlic contains almost 80 sulphur compounds. Organic sulphur is famous for its healing and infection fighting ability.
Garlic also contains an extremely powerful sulfuric compound called Allicin which is released when ever garlic cells are crushed, bruised or damaged. Allicin makes garlic one of the most popular natural alternatives to pharmaceutical antibiotics.
Life penicillin, garlic's allicin kills:
* Bacteria
* Fungus
* Microbes and protozoa in the digestive tract
* Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
making it the world's most effective and most natural broad spectrum antibiotic. It has been proven in the laboratory to kill every bacteria known, and at the same time, unlike antibiotics, it does not harm your important friendly intestinal flora bacteria.
Reports show during World War I the British soldiers chopped it up and put it on as a battle dressing for infected wounds and today, these records show it was more effective than antibiotics. This is an amazing herb. It also kills viruses, fungi and intestinal parasites.
Garlic is nature's wonder drug and herbalists have understood its medicinal value for at least 2,000 years.
Garlic is the common name for Allium sativum, which belong to the lily family. Predominantly consumed for its aromatic qualities in food, but medicinal history dating as far back as ancient Egyptian times showed it's use as both culinary and medicinal. Roman Legions both used garlic for strength and energy and also as a dressing for infected battlefield wounds.
Garlic also kills:
* Intestinal worms
* Parasites
* viruses
that inevitable make their way into the gut and live there for years if not treated. This saps your energy and health. Medical treatments for parasites are hopelessly limited, since each medication is only designed to kill one type of parasite. Since there are at least a hundred types of parasites that make their way into the body from:
* Contaminated food
* Water
* Pets
* Meat
* Sushi
* Everyday eating
No one medication can kill them all, and no medication can be guaranteed to kill parasites safely, (except one) and that's Garlic. The Allicin in garlic also kills intestinal fungus, known as Candida, which overgrows when the diet is high in sugar and carbohydrates, which is the thing intestinal parasites thrive one. When you do a colon cleanse you need garlic to help heal your colon. After removing old fecal matter, no reason to think you do not have old infection, pus, bacteria that needs to be killed before it can harm you.
Garlic not only reduces "bad cholesterol" while increasing "good cholesterol," but regular use is also associated with a lower risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Several studies confirm garlic's ability to lower blood pressure.
Because of it antiviral properties, one can apply one drop of garlic oil to the wart(s) twice daily for 4 weeks to safely remove warts.
A good quality garlic supplement is very important. Also an odorless or coated tablet is important at times. Where the garlic is grown makes a difference in quality.
It's our gift to ourselves, how we take care of it. We can float through days, months, years, not paying any attention to our health. Yes, we are busy, things to do, children to raise, careers to contend with, but all these areas need us to be healthy. We need clean water & exercise, and nutrition to keep our bodies in good working vibrant condition.
The words “colon infection” can cover a range different colon problems.
When used by medical professionals however, these words usually refer to an infection caused by the Clostridium difficile bacteria (also called C. difficile or just C. diff).
A C. diff colon infection happens most often to older adults when they’re in the hospital or when they live in a long term care facility. This is often the result of antibiotics they take to fight other health problems.
In addition to killing harmful bacteria, antibiotics may also kill bacteria we need to process and digest our food efficiently. These helpful bacteria live in our intestines. C. diff bacteria can become established in your intestines if there are not enough helpful kinds of bacteria present. When Clostridium difficile grows, it produces toxins that damage cells in the lining of the intestines and colon. The result is inflammation and pain.
In some cases, such colon infections are relatively mild, and you’ll get better when you stop taking the antibiotic. But if you have a more severe infection, you may have to get a prescription for an entirely different type of antibiotic that will counteract C. diff.
The antibiotics that seem more likely to produce Clostridium difficile infections are fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, clindamycin and penicillin.
There’s C. diff bacteria almost everywhere in nature: in plants, water, and dirt. It is especially plentiful in human and animal feces, and since it can float easily on air, it spreads quickly where sanitation is poor.
The best means of avoiding C. diff germs involves keeping surfaces in your environment clean and washing your hands often.If you’ve been taking antibiotics and want to protect yourself against a colon infection, there are two critical procedures you must follow. Wash your hands frequently and keep all surfaces in your environment clean. C diff produces spores that spread readily and can live on surfaces for months. Touching a surface where these germs have landed, and then touching your lips or mouth, could give them entrance to your digestive tract. This could start a chain of events that ends with a colon infection.
It’s not a sure thing that you’re going to get sick if you have C. difficile germs in your intestines and colon. But individuals who have C.. diff can certainly spread them to other people who will then develop a colon infection in turn.
In recent years, there have been a growing number of colon infections reported caused by C. difficile bacteria. A new form of Clostridium difficile bacterium has mutated which is even more aggressive. The new strain is more capable of resisting traditional medications.
Symptoms of a C. diff colon infection may not appear for weeks or even months after the germs are introduced to your intestines. Once colon infection symptoms start appearing, you’re like to experience a combination of the following.
Cramping, tenderness and mild pain in the abdominal area.
* A bout of diarrhea that continues for a period of at least two days, with bathroom visits reaching 10-15 times a day.
* A type of severe colon inflammation known as colitis.
* It’s possible that you’ll see pieces or raw tissue in stools, along with blood and pus..
* Nausea and fever
* Lack of appetite, probably accompanied by weight loss..
* Signs and symptoms of dehydration.
If these symptoms persist for several days, call your physician.
Once you know for sure a colon infection has been caused by C. difficile, your doctor is likely to tell you to stop taking the antibiotic that brought it on. This will almost certainly reduce the intensity of your colon infection symptoms, but further treatment treatment may be needed nonetheless.
The good news is this. There are other antibiotics you can take that will kill Clostridium difficile without destroying the helpful bacteria in your system. The most frequently antibiotics for a colon infection are metronidazole and vancomycin. Both these medications may have side effects like nausea, and they sometimes leave a bitter taste in your mouth. It’s an especially bad idea to mix metronidazole with alcohol.
There are a number of probiotics which be beneficial in restoring your intestinal tract Saccharomyces boulardii, a variety of yeast, has been effective for some patients when combined with medications.
Surgery isn’t usually performed, but is sometimes done in especially severe cases.
Not all the treatments for a colon infection recommended above will work every time. When a colon infection returns, it’s usually because the Clostridium difficile bacteria was not completely removed in the initial treatment. It can also come back because the individual has been exposed to a different strain.
